Currently questioning whether I should start Baldur's Gate 3 or avoid getting trapped into what seems to be the best RPG of the decade.
I feel like this is a good dilemma to have! Lots of people can't find a game to really get immersed in. Being worried about being too immersed in a game is pretty solid
I kinda have the same problem but with Kingdom Come: Deliverence. I've had this game in my GOG library for ages and just never really touched it.
Instead I choose to play Fallout 3 and New Vegas over and over again...
It definitely is! I'm not even sure I'll like it that much (never played a BG before), but all the critics are so positive it might be that good
I frequently fall into the trap of buying a very popular game because it's very popular and highly acclaimed, but then they turn out to be games that are not for me for whatever reason. Like RDR2 was just way too slow paced for me. BG3 seems like it is just not the type of game for me, as I'm not really into D&D or that style of RPG at all.
And yet, I'm SO tempted to play it. If Starfield weren't coming out in less than a month, my curiosity would probably get the better of me. But I need to finish all games I have started on, because once Starfield releases, I'm not sure when I will stop playing it.
My original plan was to get both at release. I've played an amount of Baldurs Gate that is possibly best described as unhealthy, and I think I might hold off on Starfield until I'm done with it. It's Bethesda, a bit of delay will hopefully give them time to patch some of the worst of the issues it's bound to have.
If you liked Divinity Original Sin 2 you should like Baldur's Gate 3. Or if you haven't played DOS2 then you can save some money and buy that.
