It’s pretty simple. The game is extremely good. It is a game of the generation contender. Some may say it’s a game of the past decade contender. It is an elaborately woven tale of character development and creative gameplay in the vein of Dungeons and Dragons that will stun almost any player, even those new to TTRPGs.
I think I still prefer owlcat games overall but damn, I really like how streamlined BG3 is. I do not miss the infinite buffing and pre-combat preparations that pathfinder boils down to in the end - and despite this I still feel like combat in BG3 is more tactical and I have more choices every turn in the end.
It took me a few weeks to get into it. I put it down a few times along the way and went back to CP2077.
A lot of the mechanics, items, spells, etc. still elude me.

The story is fantastic, the voice acting is excellent, the graphics are beautiful and despite some clunkiness and the inherent complexity of a D&D game it’s thoroughly enjoyable by someone like me who’s never been much of a fan of the genre.
