We've all heard how good Baldur's Gate 3 is, but does it really live up to the hype? the answer is yes and then some. It is easily one of the best games I've ever played. Astarion is the reason I started playing, and I stayed for all of the characters in the end. there are no critiques other than …

Wow, it still needs more ratings to be properly weighted in the formula as the #1 game, but we really really like this game here. That score is crazy high for nearly 1000 raters. The only things I've ever seen above 4.7 barely have any ratings, and only 6 other games and 1 expansion on the Top 250 have 4.6 …

I don't get how I'm supposed to finish this game. Ever. This is a completionist's worst nightmare. And I can't get enough.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Becomes First Game To Win Every Major GOTY Award

Since The Game Awards were established by Geoff Keighley in 2014 as a successor to the Spike Game Awards, no other game has pulled this feat off, thought [sic] two titles that came extremely close—The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild lost the BAFTA to indie darling …

Hey siri: How do you stop creating new savefiles to play as different races and classes and actually finish the game.

If the PS5 and the Xbox Series X both have 4K UHD Blu-ray optical drives, why is BG3 spread across two discs for PS5, and four discs for Series X? Is Larian including both Series X and Series S textures and assets on disc? Even if they were, would that really require four discs?

Update: Never mind, I found …

I get that every patch 'adds' something but.. a 17gb patch for some cutscene kisses and some new idle movements (aside from the constant bug-fixing that fixes maybe 2 out of 5 of the game's glaring issues and breaks some more) is ridicolous.

I want to keep the game installed so I can one day maybe finish it, but the …

It’s kind of impressive that this game, despite not being a live service game, is still pulling over 100k concurrent players daily. The current 24h peak is 134k.

Very proud achievement today. Me and my best gaming buddy finished Baldur's Gate III on Honour mode. What a run.... Ultimate concentration, coordination, planning, communication and dedication.

A moment of silence for the one time all of our characters were stunned by Mindflayers and our brains almost got eaten, but we managed, thanks to the 1 HP Cleric that came …

Here's a fun Baldur's Gate coincidence. I'm playing a Dwarven artificer named "Quint Flintshard". I got into the refugee camp and came across my NPC twin who's named "Garron Flintsplitter" enter image description here

My biggest complaint with Act 3 is that it really requires metagaming to win some of these boss fights. Cazador and Orin, especially, (do not bring Astarion to the Cazador fight) force you to do things that only make sense as a game rather than as a story in order to win.
