My friend gifted me Baldur's Gate 3 last week so that's what I've been playing pretty much the entire week in between Genshin and Star Rail, lol.
I like the game, the world is interesting and the roleplay stuff is a lot of fun. Even without mods, the character customization is very good (and queer friendly too!), and with mods it's an entirely new level.
My only gripes come from the RNG nature of the combat, sometimes the DnD aspect of the game holds it back cause you keep missing spells or skills, or constantly need to rest and long rest to "replenish" magic, which even in DnD I wasn't a huge fan of. This means battles can take a really long time, and sometimes you just don't feel strong (like having a cleric that has limited healing), which kinda defeats the whole purpose of being in a fantasy world with magic powers.
Definitely queer-friendly.
I love the game. But right now I'm playing Elden Ring so I'll get back to that later.
Then I'll resume it once I complete Elden Ring.
Haven't played Elden Ring but I'm also not a Soulslike person, lol. Everyone says it's good though!
Probably the best time and opportunity to get into a "Soulslike" game.
Loved BG3 but yeah it kinda feels like a step back from Divinity in that way, instead of having mechanics built around being a cRPG you have awkward D&D mechanics that get in the way at times.
Disable karmic dice in the settings for better RNG.
