I can finally play D&D instead of always being the default GM! Yay!
It’s a fantastic game and I am having a blast with it. It’d be neat if they found a way to incorporate a little more of the utility stuff (scrying etc.) but I can imagine how difficult that would be. The scope of what you can do in the game is definitely much farther than I thought they’d go!
Forever GM’s unite! (But like, once we get the schedule finalized /s)
Yeah, this is probably the best D&D game in existence now. It definitely has some pretty fun mechanics and a lot of depth that other D&D vidya games just lack.
Yesterday I was playing with some buddies in chat. Another buddy that isn’t playing with us asked if we were doing the main quest line or side quests. I responded, “There aren’t any main or side quests. You just kinda play”. At that moment it finally clicked. BG3 is a game where you just enjoy yourself without a conception of what you’re doing mattering or not. You put your own weight into your experiences.
That’s true of D&D in general. Like yes, technically there’s a main quest, but honestly they all kinda intertwine in a big plot soup.
No wonder there’s 17,000 endings.
This game is everything I wanted Divinity Original Sin 2 to be. I’m so happy that Larian knocked it out of the park with this one.
I don’t really have anyone to play it with. Is it playable solo or with randoms?
I’d say it plays best solo. It’s story heavy so you’re going to want to go at your own speed and explore what interests you, which works better solo.
FWIW I got it as well 2-3 of my friends, but we’re all running it solo first before grouping up.
