I'm so happy to see this franchise do so well, I actually haven't played 3 yet and Bg1 and 2 are my most played games ever. I've played through them several times and love them more than any other game..I know BG3 is very different in terms of the playing, but it does seem like they captured the sense of a massive world with infinite paths to goals. Cannot wait to play it, just need to be done with Cyberpunk. I hope my wife understands!
Have your wife play the game too and tell her to keep Astarion in her party.
Haha I've actually set up a steam link so I can play PC games in our living area so can be with her while I play which will help. She also does encourages me to game as it's a guilt free stress reliever.
Wait… what would be a guilt-ridden stress reliever? Are you a serial killer in your spare time or something?
Heroin..
It's probably the best adaptation of a fantasy ttrpg on the computer to-date, just like the original games were in their day.
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is also fantastic, if you haven't already played that one.
Wotr is tons of fun but it’s way way more classic crpg with lots of reading. Bg3 is a breakout because it feels like you are interacting with a living, breathing world, not a choose your own adventure with pixel art.
And pathfinder is a way way way harder system to get into than 5e
I would argue Divinity: Original Sin II was the breakout, although that's kind of hair-splitting because it's also Larian studios.
Yes but bg3 is a four quadrant smash. Like, I know people who don’t play video games that are curious about it. DOSII didn’t do that.
