I've yet to try D&D. I hadn't played any other Baldur's Gate. But I loved BG3. The story, the combat, the narrative, the voiceacting, the world ---- I consider it a small miracle that a game with this much quality stuff in it didn't just buckle under all the pressure of what it was trying to be. The fact that a title can be this huge while delivering the awesome experience it does deserves to be celebrated. Hats off to Larian Studios for this one.
