Baldur's Gate 3 is defying game industry trend-chasers — and is being rewarded for doing so (www.windowscentral.com)

The more annoying aspects of modern gaming are completely absent in Baldur's Gate 3.

I've played BG1, BG2, and a shit ton of NWN. I am an hour or two into BG3 and I'm happy so far.

Feels somewhat like 'Divinity OS does DND' but I enjoyed the system before and it seems to fit well enough to the setting.

No Icewind Dale??

Oh shit I forgot about that one - never finished but I did play it on mobile. IPad versions of these games kick ass.

The bg, bg2, iwd trilogy was a magical play experience! Gameplay was unique, immersive, and the dnd element was unlike almost any other game on the market. Can't wait to play bg3!

I remember when all these games were just coming out and the hype surrounding them. My favourite was always Minsc and his hamster companion Boo from BG1.

I adore Minsc but feel like WoTC has started flooding him into stuff once they realized that he was popular. He's in a comic, in Magic the gathering now, and I think even showed up in modules and games. Their involvement in any of this has made me trepidatious, tbh. It sounds like Larian may have made a good game despite them. (I have my own nitpicks there but I'm a very inflexible and nostalgic person, so that's to be expected.)

Wasn't he also in BG2 or Icewind Dale? I have vivid memories of him but never played BG1
