    I also give tremendous credit to the narrator's voice. She has done a phenomenal job of committing to the tone of the moment, having clarity in her voice, and imbuing a certain level of sultry/lushness to her voice as.well.
    Traditionally our own voice would read whats happening and narrate it ourselves, but to have someone respond to our actions whether succeeding or failing really adds joy to the game.

      It's actually the weakest aspect of the game I thought. She often came across uninterested and it sometimes felt like a drag listening to her drone on and on.
      The game was so strong otherwise (apart from Act 3), did it even need a narrator running all the way through it? I get that it was kind of meant to represent a DM of sorts, but it didn't work for me.

      The whole marketing team of bg3 does such an insane job. Even though a lot of the stuff is niche it is just insane how everything fits together. Either the Druid sx scene as promotion,the rememberable music track through the whole game, the dnd round they streamed with the voice actors… actually how they involve the voice actors and portrait them as the characters (esp. astarion). It’s just insane how well they made this all up. And all without a seasonal microtransaction shop (look at you Diablo 4). Larian is just like the old blizzard north or BioWare. And finally people that dev a game that love playing games.

    The best thing about BG3 is you have so much flexibility. You can accomplish a quest almost any way you can imagine. To kill the Goblins at the stronghold, you can poison the water, or chain a bunch of exploding barrels together throughout the dungeon, kill them one by one, sneak through without killing them (if you can) and any number of different solutions. You just have to use your imagination, and the game will allow it.

      The movie and the books aren't turn based.
      But no, turn based wasn't harder to program, Diablo 1 was originally turn based before they changed it. The games actually operate in turns, the reason they're RTWP is because RTS games were very popular back then. Same reason Diablo isn't turn based. Turn Based was considered dated, and developers wanted to embrace the ability of video games to have real time gameplay.

    Asmon as a barbarian with huge 2h weapons and battlecries and McCool as a paladin (paladins can actually be so OP in DnD, especially cool as Oathbreaker) would be such an amazing journey to witness.
    Imagine the chaos they would unleash... And you can unleash so much Chaos in BG3.

Nowadays with how media is manipulated for maximum clicks and "newest thing" every few hours, the attention span nor patience is there for average person. If you can still maintain it its an incredible skill, however weird that may sounds to us older people(im only 30 so to some still a kid). I personally always preferred run n gun in FPS, minmaxing in mmos and being very efficient with other type of games, i always hated TBS games, felt boring, but now when im a bit older and can understand why it is like that, im honestly not that against TBS anymore, you just have to understand what it is at the core, and Baldur's Gate 3 is phenomenal game all around.

    This is exactly why BG3 is so good. The weird shit that you can actually do in the game is on next level. It is wild how complex the plot of the game is where all these trails that are wildly different tie into one central story somehow. And this is the beauty of the game. And these are only the pre-set things in the game... You can do a whole lot of other things with the game mechanics that you basically cannot do in pretty much any other game. Let's see what happens is one of the key points of the game.
