I almost never have a GOTY and usually just have a list of game experiences that I treasured most. I still have the latter but I’m growing aware of the fact that I might just adore one game experience in particular a little more than some of the others this year.

Finally got to a point where I can make a semi-review. Can't tell my opinion too loudly because I got called "entitled" for saying that the game should've had most of the bugs present in the EA already squashed but they are still present to this day.
Anyway: the game's okay? I guess? It feels like a lifeless WOTC campaign …
Finally got to a point where I can make a semi-review. Can't tell my opinion too loudly because I got called "entitled" for saying that the game should've had most of the bugs present in the EA already squashed but they are still present to this day.
Anyway: the game's okay? I guess? It feels like a lifeless WOTC campaign so far (Act 2), the companions aren't that interesting to me and the ones that are turn really boring and flat, with no hope for a development in the later stages.
Multiplayer can break your game if you get some of the nastier bugs out there (had to re-dl the whole game after attempting a file validation twice). Some smaller bugs are present in Single Player but so far they are ironed out in a way or another.
Weird decisions to make some spells "save on cast or bust" when they should be "save on turn". Some core subclasses missing. Would've loved to see a more TCOE approach to character creation.
Character creation is lackluster despite being one of the "stronger suits" of the game in the early releases. No way to change your character's appearance after saying yes, forcing you to restart if you notice you've chosen the wrong option for the hair or something of the likes.
I expected more out of it considering the price tag and the three year-long testing done on players who were willing but I suppose this is the max we can expect out of the industry now: if you dare say politely that you somewhat expected 3 years long known bugs to be squashed by release date, you get told off.

If you’ve saved since updating, you won’t be able to load those saves until we’ve re-published Hotfix 4. You can keep playing on your Hotfix 3 saves, you just won't be able to load saves from today’s Hotfix 4 until it’s pushed live again. Sorry about the inconvenience. 🙏

That's about 6-8 hours of saves I can't access until they reissue hotfix #4. I guess that means I'm not playing until they've fixed the issue 😭

Found some gloves worth +10 ability points and +1 attack just lying around in a shop, holy smokes.

As a person who rolled Druid and plans to roll a Cleric for my second play through I am both astounded by and approve of this data because it means there's a world of people who will one day discover the joys of playing the best classes!

So far, Baldur's Gate 3 is the only game I've played where you can help a family of spiders navigate their crisis of faith.

It's funny how i've had little trouble with the enemies and bosses in this game but end up getting destroyed in some haunted mansion in baldurs gate city, characters sent flying all over the place because of these stupid cursed skulls and even using remove curse with my cleric means taking a shit load of damage before the curse is …

Though it's nothing new that larian loves destroying you with the environment and traps.
