Hello internet chums,
I was hoping you guys could help me out with BG3.
I know that according to everyone on Earth, it's like objectively the best RPG of all time or something. So, I bought it day of release and had a go.
I haven't bounced off a game so hard in years.
To give you a little insight: I love RPG'S. Infact, it's been my favourite and main genre for nearly thirty years now. I've played everything from Might and Magic VI to Final Fantasy XIV. Wizardry VIII to Dragon Quest XII. Skyrim to Lost Odyssey. I've played so many thousands of hours of all different flavours of RPG.
I've also been playing D&D for....many years too. I cut my teeth on 3e, loved 4e, and now playing two games of 5e at the moment. My relationship with D&D however isn't very healthy. I hate 5th edition. It's watered down, it's generic, it's too easy, I just don't really like what it's become. Infact, I only play because I know it's really good therapy for one of my friends I play with. He really enjoys playing with our group, so I put up with the games for his sake.
So, coming to BG3. It seems like it's got one thing I love (RPG systems) and one thing I hate (The overuse of 5e mechanics).
I've tried 3 different classes so far (Elf Sorcerer, Dwarf Bard, Gnome Rogue) and none of them really had the wow factor.
I really, really enjoyed the Infinity Engine games way back when, aswell as modern stuff like POE/Tyranny/D:OS1+2...
...So what is it about BG3 that won't click with me? What am I doing wrong? I've got to free Lae'zel twice, got to the Owlbear, got to the druid grove, but I inevitably drop out after a few hours.
If anyone can advise, I dunno, I'd appreciate it.
I'd love to hear what you guys suggesr
