I haven't played any Baldurs gate before, but the hype has definitely made me look into it.
Definitely seems like a game I'd like, a fantasy RPG, I haven't always loved turned based combat, so that's one of my hold ups. What do y'all think of the combat system?
If you're unsure if it will be for you, pick up divinity original sin 2, same maker and very similar style, but (a) without the d&d license and (b) will cost much much less. Both BG3 and DOS2 are incredible games which you can easily pour a hundred hours into
DOS2 is my favorite RPG ever. The game uses tactics and positioning far better than any other RPG I've tried.
The AI uses it a bit TOO well and too much, imo. It always find some impossible angle to fire at me.
Also got annoying with surface magic effects. AI covered the battlefield in it. Particularly that super-fire that one needed a limited spell to remove. BG3 has a better balance between combat and surface elements. At least so far in the game.
