This game is genuinely incredible. The most faithful translation I've ever seen of the spirit of Dungeons and Dragons. There are some rules tweaks to the standard 5e system, but they're all calculated and considered to make this a wonderful experience for someone sat playing for hours, giving more choice and power.

It takes advantage of all the automatic calculations and automated enemies and rolls to allow creative magic items, interesting exploration, and great freedom within each classes strength.

The characters, dialogue, and stories are all expertly crafted, hooking you though each quest, whether it's the main story, a side story, or a companion story. Each feels as meaningful and touching as the last. Some are funny, some are sad, some are heartwarming.

Everyone I have recommended this to has come back to me with so much excitement and investment, and each of us have had slightly different experiences, or found different areas. I will be playing this game through many more times in the future because it is a truly great sequel to both the original Baldur's Gate games (which there are plenty of references to) and the Divinity games that brought Larian to the limelight to produce this masterpiece.

Cannot recommend this highly enough.
