I guess we can cross Starfield off possible GOTY candidate because there's no way Bethesda can match this.I give in Larian

BG3: Shadows of Amn
Asmon has HUGE pull with so many, I think my low-ballish 4-5m sales prediction my have been a bit lowwwww, kind of forgot PS5 dropping too. 7-8m new prediction by Xmas.

The game version in cinematics is such a huge oversight it's baffling...and the fact that they still havent allowed us to make the minimap smaller that takes HALF the fucking screen is again...stupid af. Other than the jankynes it's fantastic. Far above Divinity OS2 and that was one of my fav games of all time.

Amazing, $60 and not $70? How could that be, FFXVI was $70, craziness!
I'm very tempted to purchase, care to elaborate on them?

Yep, Rogue Trade should shape up great. Don't see it releasing till next year realistically.

This is all very specific/subjective to me and playing with controller, but I posted them earlier:
They seem like small nitpicks, but they annoy the fuck outta me.
I really hope it all gets fixed and patched soon, but I kinda do not want to be out of 60 euros while having to wait.

It's been a looooong time since I played a d&d crpg and the game is kicking my ass in medium. I wonder if I'm just rusty or if the game is actually quite hard?

Started a coop game with a friend. I rolled a half-orc Barbarian as expected, he went with a Drow Cleric, Tempest Domain. Playing in Balanced, so far the game has been pretty easy, although we had some problems with a group of Goblins (disadvantage on attack rolls due to elevation is no joke).
We also killed a Bugbear in a cave nearby, but that might have been a mistake (there was a potion of speak with animals in that same cave, it seemed already hurt, and it mostly tried to protect its cub, so there was probably a more peaceful solution?). That cave also had a chest with a mark of (I think) Selune that we couldn't open...

Anyone have issues with crashing ?
My pc sounded like it wants to blast off to space the noise it was making. My 3070 was hitting 80c and roughly around this temp my computer would crash like my GPU was hanging. I had my FPS capped at 90 and dlss on quality.
This happened repeatedly. I fixed the issue by capping my FPS at 60 and changing dlss to balanced.
Gpu never sent above 60c after that .These cards are supposed to run up to 85 without issue.
Thought I'd throw that out there for anyone else having similar crashes. Game like this is fine at 60 FPS.

Spent 20+ minutes in the character creation screen deciding on which Vulva to pick.
I made a Tiefling Old Ones Dark Urge Warlock with Vulva B.

I am seriously tempted to get this as a birthday present to myself, especially after watching a streamer I follow play it some, but I also fear my lack of experience with these type of games. The overhead crpg style. Closest I've played is probably Dragon Age Origins, and I mainly played that on console. I also worry that I don't know enough about dnd rules and whatnot.

I just spent about an hour procrastinating over my character choices, so there wouldn't be a whole lot of time left for refunds.
Steam has a good refund policy if you follow their rules.
Went for a female wood elf wizard - clean shaven.

I hate how I see that dark blue stuff more and more. It's so incredibly fake because you can see details far away that would normally not be seen by night.
Such elegance!

Mind is blown from what I played so far.
Tiefling paladin is what I picked. Good choice so far, first characters i meet and add to party make it well rounded

don't avoid the game because of that guy's nitpicks most of them are ridiculous. to each his own but jesus fucking christ
in particular "no free camera control, i can't look up with controller". no shit, it's an isometric RPG, you can't look up with mouse either. it's top-down and you can zoom and rotate, that's it. it's not a 3rd person rpg like mass effect.

I've ready it runs great (perfectly respectable at medium settings and I'm sure the touchpads offer a bit of extra control), haven't tried it myself yet, but do plan on throwing it on the SD card when I do. Word of advice, don't do that on the Ally
Oh, I had a feeling they were nothing I'd personally mind (but crashing/memory leaks etc sound a little annoying, I imagine patches will come and be numerous), but still was curious and the explanation was very well-grounded. I'm most likely going to fold tomorrow even though I know I don't have the time for this. But damn if BG wasn't my bread and butter. And it DOES look like there's quite a bit of fun to be had here. Swords for everyone!

Can’t even get it to boot to title screen. Icon is still playable. Someone might be full of
because this isn’t amazing. lol maybe they’ll update it?I’ll try it on my desktop. I’ve got a 970. Not the 1070. Which is why I rely on my Steam Deck. So far my whole experience is watching the Steam logo, trying to boot.
my fingers are crossed. Hope it boots.

I got it to boot on Steam Deck with Proton Experimental. I thought they said this was “Verified”. Oh well.. I also got an error for some odd reason and then it’s booting. Here we go joker.

My 3080 is so hyped on what you just said.
I'm so ready for this, as soon as I get past this build paralysis
It runs well on M1 but it's still in early access on Mac until next month.

Ok, think I'm gonna go:
Me: Paladin Dialogue Charisma with a touch of evil, I'm not sure how this'll work out..
Karlach - She is awesome, front line assembled!
Gale - He's the Garrus to my Wrex, loved his vibe in EA, also FIREBALLS.
Shadowheart - Respecced to be Cleric slash Trickster Thiefy Vibe so Astarion not needed.
Wish me luck, let's bloody GO.

The more I watch and read the less convinced that this is for me.
I'm really into the RPG part of the game but the turn based combat is an absolutely massive turnoff. I hope the game gets a PS+ Trial.

the turn basing here is very fast turn around time, imo you won't feel the waiting times if that's your concern
if anything, this kind of games you can imagine it more of a massive point and click investigative adventure, so if you dont like such gameplay loops, then it's not for you

OK, why game version number in cutscenes, (top right corner) and on main screen under minimap!!? Are they crazy or what!?
Apparently to be patched soon

Which API did you find better? I'm experimenting between the two, i thought vulkan performed better but it has some weird v-sync issues.

The lack of deep character customization on release for such a huge RPG is... disappointing. I guess I'll have to wait for mods to offer me the basic stuff which should've been in the game.

I played 40 minutes on my Steam Deck. The cutscene was great. Everything else was crappy looking. The character creator had atrocious textures, like Nintendo Switch pixelated spacing. Everything feels detached somehow. I want to play this game, but I probably jumped the gun too soon with the tech I own. I'm downloading it on my PC.
I probably wouldn't play it on Steam Deck. The fan is so loud, like PS4 loud, but in your face - constantly. The device heats up and it drops battery from 97% to 77%. I am jealous of those running BG3 on a nice rig. I can see how the Steam Deck is serviceable, but that's it. I used a USB-C to HDMI adapter and the statue on the title screen looked worse than a 360 game. I turned off a bunch of settings, but it still sucks.
