There's a lot to say about this game, simply because of its scale. It's easily the most ambitious CRPG out there and I will definitely be doing another playthrough to see what I missed on my first.

The game looks fantastic and I enjoyed the story more than I thought I would going in. That being said, the writing is inconsistent in quality, especially for the companions, where many just amount to the annoying marvel-quip type. The game in general is also too horny, with companions throwing themselves at the player from the very start in tandem with questionable "romance" dialogue. Thankfully the companion quests themselves are for the most part intriguing and well realised.

A final criticism is the character creator. It is woefully stripped down and genuinely baffling that the devs let you customise most everything except your character's face.

Overall, my opinion on the game is still positive, despite the issues listed above. It's impressive in its ambition, varied in its setting and encounter variety and will no doubt be more fun in a co-op or full party session. Hopefully the success of BG3 inspires greater interest in CRPGs and more games like it (though ideally not ones based off 5e).
