    It’s mid. You aren’t missing much. It’s 90% flash, 10% substance. Unless you’ve been a Minsk & Boo Stan waiting in the shadows for 25 years.

    Personally I’d go steal Disco Elysium again. Or do the free-to-play class stories in Star Wars: the Old Republic. Light side Sith Warrior, and any alignment Imperial Agent are pretty awesome self-contained stories.

        BG3’s combat is terrible. D&D 5e is bad enough on tabletop, but in a video game it just does not work at all. D&D needs an incredibly skilled GM to paper over all the glaring problems (and any GM good enough to run D&D well probably knows enough to run something else instead), and just conflicts horrible with the rigid precision of a GM-less video game, nor does its dungeon-crawling resource attrition paradigm work with a fixed narrative world.

      In addition to being mid, it’s also super biggy atm. Some people have it be fine until the later acts, but our grouos has barely made any progress do to all of us experiences crashes super often
