It’s a great game by all measures, but it really feels more like a sequel to the last two Divinity games rather than the Baldur’s Gate series. The only thing it really has in common with the old games is the setting, a few recurring characters, and the fact that it’s based on D&D. Otherwise, they are about as different as CRPGs can get.
If you want a spiritual successor to the old infinity engine games, look at the two Pillars of Eternity games and the two Pathfinder games.
I have had one of the pathfinders games gifted to me, but not tried yet. I guess I should give it a go after I finish up with (totally unrelated) Monster Train.
Pillars of eternity was fucking incredible. They absolutely nailed that old bioware vibe, something I'm certain the cranial leakage Larian employs is incapable of.
Holy fucking shit these comments. First the "Is BG3 a good game?" question after so many reviews are out, then "cranial leakage".
What is wrong with you people. I stopped trying to please lost causes like you guys a long time ago. What a miserable attitude.
