I'm currently holding off on buying it because it's the kind of game that will eat up my life in a way I just don't have time for right now, and I figure the price will drop or it'll go on a better sale than it has been on before by the time I have time to play.

Also worth mentioning spoiler formatting:

Spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3: Something Happens This paragraph talks about something that happened at the end of the game! This paragraph also talks about something that happened at the end of the game!

appears as

for both Kbin and Lemmy folks, though if you are on an app there is a chance it won't display properly for you as some Lemmy apps don't implement this.

That was my plan, but my brother and I share our Xbox games (you can share digital copies with one other person). Since it magically appeared in my inbox, I gave it a go.

Absolutely fantastic game. But it's very long, and that's assuming you don't read all of the lore. The learning curve is little high, nothing crazy, but I won't be getting any noobies to try it. Lastly, I hate searching every stupid crate, body, etc. but I'm sure I'll miss out if I don't. Oh, and absolutely fuck that neural network "puzzle" and it's clunky controls.

Otherwise, decent plot, lots of unique battles, good voice acting, many, many different tactics. My favorite game in a while. So I'm taking an hour or two here and there, and switching it up with other games when I lose patience, and I look up the answer if I don't feel like searching on a quest, to save my sanity.

Have fun when you find a good sale.
