Baldurs Gate 3 for me. I like the game mechanics and everything like that, but the story and characters put me off. The characters in general because of how unlikeable they all are, and the story I think my main problem is mostly that I know nothing about D&D and the game doesn't try to introduce anything. So I can't even follow the conversations properly because half the time I have no idea what they are talking about.
Baldur’s Gate 3 for me as well. BG2 is on my top five all time favorite games. BG3 was just a tedious bore.
Just fyi, if you hate the main characters you can kill then if you want and just have generic NPCs as your companions.
Or you can ignore them full on it you don't want to kill them - you don't need them to join you.
I'm surprised you dislike Karlach though, the most normal/relatable one.
I think it took me getting to act 2 before I started liking anyone besides Gale and Wyll.
In the end I mostly stuck around Shadowheart but at first she was REAAAALLY annoying. I hated her guts lol.
I really enjoyed the game with 0 knowledge about the lore
That's promising. I want to try it but don't want to play the two precursors
You don’t have to, they are very old games and quite hard to play if you are not used to the genre. I believe that practically the only connections are two reoccurring characters whom you don’t need to know anything about beforehand.
Really sorry to hear. Imho, it's a strong candidate for best game of all time. I actually love the characters and I think you don't need that much knowledge on lore to follow the story... I do know some lore, having previously played NWN 1 and 2 only...
