Thanks Aoife, what a lovely and heartfelt review. Around 20 years after i played BG1/2 i can not believe this is really happening. I actually forced myself to not play a single minute of the EA version (and that was quite challenging) because i wanted to go completely blind into this experience.
Same. This is the kind of game I like to play when it's complete. Imagine being oh so immersed and then all of the sudden - ok now wait x years until the full story is revealed... That would be a cliffhanger, to say the least! xD I'm happy they succeeded.
@@thevillageyid not played it but I loved baldurs gate 2 and had no idea about d&d. I reckon this will be even more friendly. BG2 didn't really explain much, like it kinda just rolled in the background and as long as you understand 1d6 is one roll up to 6 ( 1x six sided dice) and 2d4 is 2 multiples of rolling 4 (2x 4 sided dice - so max of 8) it all makes sense when picking spells and equipment.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the multiplayer feedback is. This looks like a fun way to get my friends into DnD without the burden of forcing the role of DM on anyone.
Multiplayer is well implemented, if somewhat buggy. We often experience black screens when the other player triggers a cutscene. These black screens do go away after a lil while though
I disagree. Its an exact copy of every other outlet reviewing this game. Nothing new added to the table. Same script about their being "bugs due to the games size", yet not showing a single one, or even naming one for that matter. Unlike cyberpunk that was riddled with unplayable bugs from the start. This game is near perfectly polished.
Consolation prize! -- I just calculated what it would take to download BG3 at 122 GB w/ my first college modem, an early 1990's ( _2400 BPS or bits-per-second / approx .3 kilobytes/sec_ ) -- It would be _just_ shy of 13 years constant downloading to get this bad boy. ;) Things could be worse! Have fun out there.
I rolled with 2 fighters, 1 barbarian, 1 cleric in my party. If you get the right gear, youll find that most of the act 1 and 2 bosses become trivial (some boss enemies dont even make it past 2 turns).
I like to only load saves that was made before a battle. I feel that makes the experience more like it was meant to be played. Loading every single fallback breaks the immersion.
rolling saves back in any game is essentially "Time travel poweR" its the same, but having some checkpoints or before battles its ok cause u ahve to do the entire challenge at once without removing a mistake*
Great review. I avoided the early access and other media about this game intentionally as I wanted to experience it when it was done. I just had to check if it was as good as I hoped it would be. Can't wait to dive in this weekend.

Great review!! This game is a dream come true... Never have I EVER experienced a CRPG get so close to the feeling of true table-top Dungeons and Dragons. My only gripes are 1) not being able to change characters when in dialog in the world... It can be frustrating when you go around the corner with your stupid barbarian and enter into an important dialogue. In a "real" D&D situation, your party would come up to you in the dialogue and if a conversation requires persuation, the smooth-talker would jump in to conversation. 2) Inventory management could be streamlined a bit more, maybe including a common bag for all characters, and being able to hide items you put into wares. I mean this is a fantasy RPG, why be "realistic" with inventory management, when it just ends up being a chore for the player? I don't want to end on a negative note, so these minor flaws are just nuisances that hopefully they will change. Even if they don't this game is GOTY for certain!
No spoilers...then goes on to tell you about the beginning infection by mind flyers and that Act 3 is the final act and set in Baldur's Gate. Also "despite (what the game yells you in the narrative) you're really under no time pressure..." So i guess i can take my time and stop worrying about the thing hatching in me anytime soon. Thanks
It's just awesome we get both Diablo 4 and Baldur's Gate 3 this year. Polar opposites that scratch completely different itches and I cant wait to have both in my library.
Unless you care about achievements, Diablo has the most boring endgame. A patch a few weeks ago made it less fun and more of a time consuming slog, so I highly don’t recommend either at its current state.
Really looking forward to this. This will be my first BG game as i have already agreed to join 3 of my friends every Monday to play this together. Was Sold when i heard it was DnD inspired. Looking forward to playing my Druid and becoming a big ol Bear boi.
I'm quite happy you're enjoying the game. I picked it up the day before it launched out of Early Access and I'm terrible at combat. I've got two campaigns running. One solo and one co-op with my boyfriend. I think the funniest thing that's happened to us so far, is when I tried hitting a couple enemies in front of us with Thunder Wave and misjudged the spell radius, accidentally also blasting my boyfriend's character and completely blasting him off the hill we were on. Looking forward to future videos on the game.
I’m running a Dragonborn, Paladin with the Dark Urge. Role playing a character who aims to be good as a perfect paladin, but because of the dark urge, they slowly switch, with them ending up as a pure villain. Fallen from grace.
You can get a roundabout idea of how D&D works but it'd be better to watch some actual plays if you intend on getting into the tabletop game. Larian made a few changes which could get confusing if you move from this to 5e.
Coming from the future where y'all current hominins barely escaped destruction ( _The Identity Totalitarian wars, 2025-'27_ ), I flashed the entire series of Baldur's games and 1000 hours of Google quantum AI's playing each other, took about 3 nanoseconds via neural engram. Come to the future, we have cookies.
I’m really not a fan of the icon design in this game. I’m not unfamiliar with DND and actions, but the overall interface is so messy, Solasta did a much better job with the interface.
I just can't be immersed in something that looks this good that has turned based combat. "no monster don't kill me. It's not your turn" Clearly I am a minority as many are loving it. Enjoy, looks like a nice pc launch (a rare thing these days)
@@sadmarinersfan8935 for me turn based is based upon DnD which is played in turns as there is no other choice. But when it's real time and doesn't require imagination you should be able to do it live.
but u no have to think that the monster is waiting, its more like if time is paused, its hard to explain, turn based allow for good ocmplexity also games like this or xcom 2 or divinity original sin have good challenge AI to fight against real time games usually u can abuse the AI much easier.
Ye I think so, same depth, but greater and better, more DnD based. Don't worry DnD rules and mechanics aren't too bad. Takes just lil time to get used to.
So many interesting games coming out this year and I will be playing them really, really slowly. This is one of them. Far in the backlog but I really want to get to it. Also, did this peak the team any interest for more Breakquest Club? 👀
apple does inferior system its normal for developers to take a while to develop there, it released on windows first, then later for mac its normal, sometimes updates on games like terraria release first for pc then after phone then after another platform and so on just the normal way how things goes.
@@eurogamer Hehe that's fair but aren't Scottish/Irish connected by Gaelic? I dunno, but certain things she said had a Rayla-ish inflection to them. Good review though!
that’s the only EA footage from the entire video because we had already rolled a character. Karlach isn’t a companion in EA and you can see her in the party
I found it a lil frustrating that there isn't a comprehensive list of all your class features.. some are listed as passives in character sheet while others only appear as active abilities... A "here is everything you got from your rogue levels" screen is sorely missed. Amazing game though
I hate that every single review says "due to its size, there's obviously a few bugs." well, name one. Show one. Show a really game breaking bug. Go on im waiting.
had to reload an old save because companion wont camp after goin to prison. in act 2 is near imposible to do the druid quest. stealth is broken, you can keep atcking and guards wont move or searc. if you time it rigth you can get infinite turns on battle start switchin to turn based mode. i can go on, its my first playthroug and barely made into act 3.
I'd love in depth role playing systems and character customisation along side a compelling narrative and characters. I just can't stand turn based combat. It's understandable in a TTRPG setting, as there's no other way to do it. But this is not played on the tabletop and so I see little excuse.
Little excuse, hm? It's literally D&D 5E rule set. How would you do things like AoO (Attacks of Opportunity) if it weren't turn-based? How would you do sneak attacks? How would you control 4 characters (playing solo) in a battle where it's not turn-based? This isn't WoW or EQ where you're dual/tri/quad boxing characters and the other characters have macros to do certain things. This is D&D. The rules are a bit more stringent on what can be done.
Ahh Baldur's Gate I remember playing them back in the day and the Dark Alliance games too. While I did enjoy them I'm just not sure about this style of gameplay anymore tbh. I prefer real time Dungeon Crawlers now like Diablo and sadly despite how beautiful this game looks this isn't it. I'll probably be willing to give this a go a little on down the road but for now I'm happy to play Diablo. Edit: Ahh you know what? feck it I'm gonna buy this right now, this game has been in the making for years and I think the developers deserve the support.
who wants to play a game as a walking cow? seems like the developers pressed random on all the character options and just went with it. none of the characters seem memorable or likable. ez pass for many people.
That is fully intended lea zel is a self righteous prick who thinks shes better than you. The point is that these characters change immensly as you progress through the game and also change thier opinion about you either in a negative or positive way. They arent supossed to be nice to you, as you are just a random stranger to them until you suddenly arent anymore.
They changed that, i think its better. I mean all elves are good with dexterity all half elfs are charismatic and all gith are strong? Seems a bit simplistic to me.

Yes Yes I know you need add revenue but for gods sake. I don't even get the fcking luxury to unsubscribe since I wasn't subscribed in the first place. Off to IGN I guess.
Lol IGN. Reviews on this channel & the site are by no means adverts, so much so that fanboys keep going ballistic about them.
That voice sounds so hot and nerdy. Thank you for the review!
StarField going to shit on this
Too much blah
This shit don't look like no Baldur's Gate.:S RIP BG 1998-2001.
OMG you said D&D 100 times in less than 2 minutes, just focus on BD3 please, nobody cares if the rules are base on F*** D&D or P&P, FOCUS on the game you´re TRYING to review BG3 ! TY !
this game is slow and bad
Id like to disagree.
That's what your mom said about your beta dad when he impregnated her.
looks like it plays like DOS2, I can't wait.
same engine 70% deconstructed and changed for the dnd 5e/one ruleset ^^
Half the fucking video is listed as an intro
