I’m holding off to this too. I still want to finish the two Divinity: Original Sins first, yet haven’t been able to do so. Also there are several unfinished Pillars of Eternity saves, haven’t been able to play Kingdom Come: Deliverance, too. There is simply not enough time.😭
Comment on Which game have you been most patient for?

Still haven’t played Baldur’s Gate 3
I have several unfinished RPGs and really don’t want this one to get added to the list.

It aint the best of the best, but it is good and people can argue (legitimately) it is one of the best of the best.
Do you play any irl DnD or tabletop rpgs? Cause the dice system in video games i think is terrible, and it turned me off of bg3 immediately. And im a tabletop rpg player.
Now months later, im enjoying it, i dont finish most rpgs. Do with that what you will, but at the least wait for a decent sale price

I’ve played some tabletop in the past (10+ years ago) as a noob, never quite got super deep - it was mostly an activity to enjoy with friends.
With the way my life is structured these days, I’d be a key contributor to “schedules & conflicts” and don’t want to burden a party with my inability to fully commit to a campaign.
CRPGs give me the advantage of being able to start and stop whenever, short or long sessions.

O absolutely. I understand the problem with schedules and what not. Crpgs def have some serious advantages. I mostly brought up tabletop cause I wondered if op was familiar with dice mechanics.

Personally, I think BG3 will fit very neatly into that feast/famine mode. I’ve been playing it since early beta when there was only the initial map, and I’ve come back to it for nearly every update for the new classes, races, options galore, and the meta is deeep (if that’s of interest).
On top of that, the mod community is lively, so there’s a non-zero chance that whatever you might find annoying can be easily resolved to your liking. (eg. dice rolling, etc.)
Lastly, it’s been my experience that nearly every RPG-adjacent Di$cord server I’m on has at least a searchable conversation if not an outright channel for BG3 chatter. From local gaming shops to online RPG guilds to 3D-printing groups and such, there are millions of people that’re totally game to hang out & bullshit and/or theorycraft on the topic. I’ve connected with more than one D&D campaign that way, so maybe give it a shot! 🫡
