With a game like Baldur's Gate 3, a number of factors make it successful—but perhaps none are as powerful as its side quest design.
Article makes a great point and I agree with it but is spoiler heavy. It should be marked. If you haven’t played through the game be warned as it even spoils parts of act 3.
Thanks for this dude, I am very interested in playing when I have time and am trying to avoid spoilers.
While we were so hoping to not have to update owners of the console physical Deluxe Edition with any further news of delay, we’ve now run into more production issues which means that players who pre-ordered their PS5 North America copy that was expected to ship later this month, will now have to wait until July before they can get their hands on them.
Got that email like 2 weeks ago. Tbh I'm not tripping. I understand sht happens. I'm just glad they changed their minds on the physical release
I with you. I got the email is well. Happy to eventually own a physical copy and glad it’s not digital only.
Baldur's Gate 3 is so good it might actually be a bad place to start with RPGs.
Baldurs Gate 3 was great, but I dont think it is as crazy as people make it out to be. I actually think Starfield is closer to being a crazy insane once in a lifetime game, but Im ready for the flak Im about to get.
If you think that then you either A never played Bg3 or B never watched anyone else play it, or C you don't know anything about the game, or D you played it and have no idea of the marvel it is in every single aspect of game design. It doesn't matter what game you compare it to, it doesn't hold a candle. Let alone starfield.
A. Ive played it thrice
B. Played with others, so there are moments of watching
C. Know more than I would care to about the game
D.
Thats quite bold, seeing as there are an inumerable amount of games for it to contend with. I also know plenty of people with their own gripes with the game.
As someone that creates things, and has actively sought to gather intel and understanding, I would say Baldurs Gates very nature makes it so it would have a hard time sitting upon the lofty throne you have given it. Similar to a Bethesda game, it is a game with a very large number of permutations and variables to consider, despite being smaller in scale by direct comparison.
Exemplary mastery of design philosophy is more certain to appear in a game that is for confined. One of the reasons I see Starfield the way I do is simply Bethesedas approach of breaking the rules. Anyone should hopefully know that you just dont try to fit a Bethesda game into a space game, but they found a way to pull it off. Do to the nature of large scale open world games, whether it is efficient or not depends on the angle one is looking at.
Many people would tell me immediately that loading screens and empty planets prove that they failed to pull it off. If you play Starfield like a conventional game yes
Part 2:
Many people would tell me immediately that loading screens and empty planets prove that they failed to pull it off. If you play Starfield like a conventional game yes, it will seem disjointed and lazy; however, to those who realize what Bethesda were going for, you will see that the game is severely underestimated. The idea of God is hated and loved by many, and there is much controversy. Starfield is closer to that idea than people even notice.
It makes my d!@k too hard!
Not gonna lie, never played a BG game before and checked a few YT vids out and have to say it looked confusing for me being a new comer and turned me off from a purchase.
I thought this entry was easier to accommodate first timers? This will be my first Baldurs Gate game, I’m willing to invest time and learn.
I played the originals back in the day but yeah compared to the overwhelming majority of modern games, this game is really difficult, this isn't just combat difficulty but overall accessibility too. I had to google how to change my party for example. You are forced to figure out so much of the systems, this isn't necessarily a bad thing but for the console release, they really need to do a lot of QoL improvements.
I think it's awesome that a lot of new people are getting into CRPGs, they are the best in the RPG genre.
