Why did Baldur's Gate 3 blow up? Larian lead writer says it's thanks to "a big gamble" with CRPG standards - eviltoast

    This game gives me the same vibes as Bioware games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, I was craving for something like this, without the microtransactions and gambling bullshit infesting most modern games.

    I’m not fond of DnD mechanics but it’s ok, it’s worth it nonetheless, BG3 is truly spectacular.

      The BioWare vibes are exactly why I’m loving this game so much. Larian was never in my radar before, because I just can’t get into isometric games for some reason, but they definitely are now. Whatever they put out next, I’m probably going to get.

        I didn’t even know who Larian was before BG3 blew up lol, I can’t get into isometric either nor turn-based combat, I’m mainly a MMORPG player, but when I saw reviews for this game and AAA devs shitting on it I decided to buy it and give it an honest try.

        I fell in love with it immediately, still struggling a bit with mechanics but I’m learning :D

          You might like Divinity 2: OS even more than DnD based combat, which is a bit…crunchy around the edges.

            Playing BG3 has definitely made me curious about their other games and I’ll have to give them a shot
