Odine Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 No hyperbole. 20 hours in, quite possibly the best game I've ever played. Ever. It's better than Skyrim. Better than GTAV. Better than Mass Effect. But it brings the best elements of all those games with the chess like tactical combat of XCOM. It fucking rules. It's got the cinematic story telling of mass effect, the lore and replay ability of Skyrim, and the writing chops and humour of GTA or RDR2. It's got the world building of Witcher 3 and cyberpunk. It's so good when I'm not playing it I almost think my real life is a waste of time when I could be playing BG3. It's like an old bioware RPG like Kotor or Dragon Age but on modern AAA budget, twenty times the size, where EVERY character (and there are thousands of them) including goblins, bears and dogs have their own unique voiced cinematic dialogue cut scenes, no matter how small the interaction. It's actually incredible. Believe the hype. Every glowing review you've read is true. Masterpiece. I hope you are all playing it, and if you're not you should. It's a landmark in gaming history. Five stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I keep hearing that it’s the horniest game ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odine Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 I mean, you can smash for sure, and the companions are all up for it, but it's not like the game starts and your boning. There are a bunch of reviews with people saying "I'm no prude....BUT" which to me is confirmation that the reviewer is in fact a prude. The sex is no more front and center than Game of Thrones, and so far in my 25 hours or so it's far less explicit than GoT. Even though you can choose what your penis or vulva looks like. To bush or not to bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odine Posted August 17 Author Share Posted August 17 I walked in on an Ogre and a Troll-like creature banging in a barn. Had to roll a charisma check to talk my way out of it and not get torn limb from limb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamevet Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 A friend and I were at Walmart. We were both curious why neither of us had seen this game available for the PS5 at retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m slowly swaying towards ordering it… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue 3 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 It’s done! Trophies look a nightmare (several play-throughs for sure), but enjoying it a lot! Looks amazing - such detail! Slow start last night while I get used to it and try it all out, but proper geeking out with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue 3 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Addicted… such a good game! Judging by the prompts about leaving certain areas, think I am probs not too far from moving to act 2. Big price left is the goblin area to uncover, but all surrounding goals pretty much cleaned up! Looks amazing, sounds amazing, great characters that you want in your party - you tend to bench some for the whole game in some RPG’s but not this one! Massive replay value for sure!

Odine Posted September 16 Author Share Posted September 16 Yeah there is about 5-10 more hours of Act 1 game time once you find the goblin camp. Depending on how you tackle things. Also, the ogre guarding the door to the interior of the main camp has some of my favourite dialogue. Reminds me of a toddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odine Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 Finally finished it after 103 hours. What a marathon. Think I'll need a breather before playing it again but I'm definitely going to do another playthrough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
