Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need"

  I really disliked it for many reasons even though I had no bugs but can’t pretend it wasn’t ambitious, Guys did jump over their head with it and tried to do something entirely new for them. And they had a hard crunch to complete it. Can’t hate the product, these devs, but honestly fuck their management.

  I liked the story, I think Jonny was integrated fantastically, and the mechanics were decent

  My only complaint is there wasn’t enough. Not enough cyberware, not enough branches in the story, not enough ways to feel the power growth as your character levels and gets better gear

  All in all, I don’t get the hate. It was a good game. With more time to flesh it out it could’ve been an instant classic, the bones are all there… I’ve got the dlc sitting in my library for when I’m ready to devote the time to dig into it

    the dlc is really good, albeit short, it feels really long

    all the characters are well written and it’s hard to straight up hate/like them, the gray area is real

    also, theres 4 more ending added if I’m not mistaken, give It a shot

      Thanks, that increases my anticipation a bit, while giving me reasonable expectations

      I tend to be obsessive with games until I’m done - I bought and installed it, but haven’t started playing for a reason, I’ll probably get 1.5-2 complete playthroughs within a week or two, I need to have a couple weeks of solid work before I dig in - a good rpg will take up most of my time until I’m done

  Sure, but I preordered it a year in advance
