Baldur's Gate 3 is a significant evolution in detail, design, and scope from previous Larian Studios games. I've started six playthroughs with different friends and families, and with 40 hours of gameplay I've yet to leave the first Act--an act comparable in size to all of Diablo III.

I have yet to reach Baldur, and frankly, I'm in no rush to.

There is a great deal of room here for roleplaying. Be a psychopathic video game protagonist, be a devout religious observant, be a cheeky ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who doesn't know how to turn their irony off--be who you want to be. It is a level of player expression I haven't experienced since Obsidian's hayday.

There's a lot of issues, mostly in UI--my parties lost a lot of actions to confirmation errors, bad pathing--we even had to restart character creation because the "kick party member" button was entirely unmarked.

That hasn't been even remotely enough to stop me.

I recommend this title at its base price of 60$.
