I will say to the people saying it’s too expensive I hear you but and I’m sure in a while down the road it will be cheaper but this is totally THE game studio that’s worth $60 for how many hours you can get out of this game.
I’m on my linux desktop, but Proton Experimental was set for me by default. Maybe you got “run other titles with:” under compatibility settings set to something else?
Edit: seems like Valve has now chosen Proton Hotfix for BG3. Says “Proton Hotfix selected by Valve testing”
I wish there was a way to find the actual download size. It says 100+ gigs in the system requirements, which actually put me off from it on a metered connection. 54 is much more doable.
No, as far as I know there are just some references to the older games. But to understand the story they are not necessary. A general knowledge about Dnd is helpful though.
I’ve been playing Dnd for several years now, so it’s kinda hard for me to determine what is common sense and what is just nerd knowledge ingrained into my head. But I think alot of stuff gets explained fairly well. Hope you have fun :D
To be absolutely honest, the major holdup for me is the camera angle. It makes the game look like yet another RTS or DOTA/League clone, and I got tired of those kind of games in the 90s.
I know that the younger generation is into games with a “retro” look (and I’m proud of them for appreciating the old school), but it just isn’t for me. I prefer games with pretty graphics, a good story, and a first or 3rd person camera. I grew up in an era where bad graphics was the norm and you just had to put up with them, so I was always looking forward to the latest and greatest advancement. Younger people don’t have that problem, so they don’t mind playing games that look dated so long as they’re fun. Not my style.
I don’t think it’s a generational thing, just preference. I’m also old enough to have grown up with potato graphics, and after the Xbox 360 era, I stopped caring about graphics much, I just like solid gameplay. Different strokes for different folks.
FWIW Baldur’s Gate III is a very pretty game, despite the overhead camera.
I woke up and remote downlaoded using my phone and went back to sleeeeeep. But i just found out my dog has congestive heart failure so I haven’t been able to enjoy it :(
I am sorry to hear that. My cat got diagnosed with a heart condition too recently. It just sucks. I recommend taking a few days off if you can and spending some quality time with your doggo.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to wait for a good sale before I can justify buying yet another game to add to my backlog. I still have entire franchises I want to finally get to.
There’s no way this game should be 100GB for the deck. They should have done what Blizzard did with D4 and offered it without the 4k texture pack bloat.
