This game kinda went under the radar for me the last 2 or so years because I wanted wait until release to buy it. But I saw this news and I have to say, I'm excited for next month.

This is what i've been waiting eagerly since the reveal, Baldur 2 and Divinity 2 are both in my top ten of RPG games ever.

I just hope it won't get the common lately, and especially common for crowdfunded games syndrome of uneven development, where the first act or so is huge and detalied and then closer to the end the time and money constraints make the dev to cut more and more.

Yeah hopefully that doesn't happen. Obviously the dev can lie but one of them said the game takes about 75 hours to finish it. And about 200 hours if you want to do everything.

Doubt it will be like that since Act 1 has been out in early access for nearly 3 years now(with some additions of course). So we know that most of the development tiem went to Act 2 and 3

BG1 & BG2 are some of my favorite RPGs ever. I also love Larian's other games so when I heard they were making BG3 I knew they would do a good job. It's been a hard few years avoiding playing the early access version of BG3 but the news about it being reverse-delayed has me in such a good mood. I can't wait to finally play it.

I also just recently upgraded my PC for the first time since I built my last one in 2015/2016, so hopefully I should be able to max everything out and have it look great.

By the way, if you buy the early access version before launch it automatically gets upgraded to the "digital deluxe" version, if you care about that.

isnt baldurs gate II from like the 90s? it's been a while comrade

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah I think that one came out in 2000. I haven't played 1 and 2 but Divinity Original Sin 2 is a great game and the early access of BG3 is already considered better than a lot of fully released games.

So psyched for this.
