I haven't bought it yet, as it's not a game style I normally enjoy. I've heard so many positive things that I will likely buy it at some point though, just not near full price.
I expect im not alone here, and that the long tail will be long indeed for this one.
Just want to add that I, and loads of others from what I’ve seen, thought exactly the same way you do, in that the game really didn’t seem like my type of thing. I don’t play dnd, and I haven’t enjoyed other games like it in the genre before.
I mean even their previous game, Divinity Original Sin 2, I tried so hard to get into but couldn’t.
But let me tell you… not only was it my goty, it became one of my favorite games of all time. I seriously couldn’t recommend it more.
I don't like turn based games, I don't really like classic fantasy, I especilaly hate hotbar style WoW combat. I am not a D&D fan. I really thought I wouldn't like BG3.
But I adore BG3.
The writing, the dialogue, the areas, quests, it's all just too good. The game is huge, AND deep. Even the combat has grown on me, though I would still prefer something in the vein of the later Mass Effect games.
