Do you like crpgs? Did you play Divinity: Original Sin 2? If you so you'll like this.

As you are an Argentinian, I STRONGLY recommend networking and finding a friend who can buy games for you over Steam so your government doesn't horribly tax you out of a living wage.

Nobody forced you to play Baldur's Gate 3 for 130 hours. Nobody is broadcasting woke propaganda via the medium of Baldur's gate 3 to the unwilling masses - you need to buy the game, and intentionally play it. Which you did, for 130 hours. So the game must be REALLY good if you'd play it for 130 hours despite being ferociously opposed to whatever it is you hate about it.

About 95% of people like it. So there's a 1 in 20 chance you won't. This game taught me not to underestimate a 1 in 20 chance, so I'm not going to tell you to buy this game if you're not comfortable with spending the money.

Yes, it's worth it, if you like CRPGs! Everybody who says it isn't, wants to troll or just doesn't like CRPGs and should not have bought it, cause of this reason...

If you like Dragon Age Origins you'd like this. It's basically DAO 2023.
But the saying goes, If you gotta choose between food and fun, Food goes first.

it depends... do you play this kind of game -- divinity, pathfinder, pillars of eternity, or the older ones like NWN?
If you like that kind of game, this is a really good one. It has good and bad things, like any of them, largely tied to the system (this is D&D 5e) and storytelling problems (this game is combat heavy, but tons of side quests and explore to find neat things etc and a bit of simple RPG stuff like talking NPCs into things). Its worth multiple play-throughs with various character classes and choices of main team, at least 2 versions (the 'good guys' and 'bad guys' approaches) are worth seeing (its almost 2 distinct games).

Its also very good co-op. I have a session running alongside my wife, each of us with 1 sidekick, and its been amazing. That experience varies by who you play with, though. I wouldn't care to try to do it with a stranger.

there is a lot of weirdness around sex in the game. You can, for one example, adventure completely nude (and its something to behold when you climb a ladder) but the NPCs don't even bat an eye.

It's excellent, especially if you at all enjoyed DOS 1 or 2, or maybe even Solasta or Pathfinder (though I haven't played those). Heck, even if you just enjoy turn-based strategy games to a degree.

Doubt there will ever be a demo, but there's certainly enough YT gameplay to get a grasp on it.

Go on google, search "d20 dice", pick 20 one, if it rolls 15 or more then buy the game now, if it rolls less than 15 wait for definitive edition and buy it on sale.

Not full price. If you can get it for 15-20 bucks, then yeah

why bother asking if you're not going to buy it anyways?

Because they want to buy it, but the socioeconomic situation of their country prevents it.
Empathy, try not to forsake it.
