Is BG3 worth?

[Smiley]

Is this game worth buying if I know virtually nothing about DnD and have never played a cRPG in my life? Eager to try something new and thought with all the rave reviews BG3 has been getting it would be worth a try.

[C O M M U N A R]

The game is very buggy right now. I recommend to play it later. Maybe after a year or two, Larian would finally managed to fix it.

Yes. Based on what you wrote you should give it a try.

There is no need for DnD knowledge. If you enjoy exploration slow pace battles and lots of dialogues in games, you will enjoy it.

It would be difficult to figure out if you've never played any CRPG's before at all, and are unfamiliar with D&D. For the most part it does a decent job of explaining the mechanics of the game to new players, but a lot of things would go amiss that would likely frustrate completely new players that are sort of inherently understood by long time players of the two genres.

For me as a long time CRPG player I consider it easy but still very good overall, but given the context of your question I would say "could be worth it if you're willing to spend a little extra time learning the mechanics".

wait for sale.

right now its buggy unpolished and feels very unfished without mods.

as it comes to enjoyment : it has some amazing moments but the qulity is very inconsistent - overall a mediocre experience and not worth the full price if u ask me

[DrZann]

Sure. Or wait for a sale. The Christmas sale is just around the corner. Cheers.

[Lamp]

Yes.

[wyborne]

Indeed, this is my first D&D game and i already put more than 200hrs into it

[ChrisPharmD]

Yes.

Go through all the options before you begin a game, though. There are stupid options like Karmic Dice, which is like the Auto Aim of cRPGs.

(Edit: I mean, no judgement if you like Karmic Dice. I don't care how anybody plays their game. But it felt like crap that it was on by default. That's all I'm saying. Default on is dumb. Having it in the game isn't dumb.)

turn based games are realy boring to me, id say i hate them. But bg3 was different, something i liked about combat, no idea why. its my favourite game of all time now, im in love with it. It worth every penny mate, i swear.. even if you wont like it, you can always refund if you played under 2 hours

If you like narrative driven game or turn based RPG, yes.
If you dislike narrative driven game, still salvageable if you play co-op since now you don't deal with origin character story. If you dislike turn based RPG then hard no.
No matter how good a game is if you don't like the genre it won't be for you

It's not very buggy the one who says that is full of ****. In 100 hours I've only encountered some minor bugs that didn't ruin the experience at all.

So, when the OP starts the game, realizes autosort is messed up, comes to the forums to ask what's the deal, are you going to be the first in line to tell him you haven't experienced that in 100 hours of gameplay?

Spoilers: The answer is yes.

When these people manage to make basic spells work correct ...

Greater Invisibility is not working correctly its complete trash.

Fix Greater Invisibility

Problems:
1. It is not supposed to break/dispelled on a failed stealth check.
2. Balance wise it is basically the same as regular invisibility because it breaks anytime you do anything. The spell itself typically came with a bonus to stealth checks of like +10 or +20 in other dnd games to allow it to actually function.

Here is a link to a page of 5E spell Greater Invisibility for you. It also has a video of developers discussing the spell answering some common/complicated questions.

Key takeaway = This spell should remain on characters even after a failed stealth check because its still giving the character advantage on their attacks and its also giving enemies a disadvantage on their attacks against you.

Also the stealth check simply means the enemy has "infered" your characters position. It does NOT MEAN they have broken your invisibility.
Example: The enemy has heard you take a step so they infered your position but you are still visibly unseen. Which is where it makes sense that its harder to hit you and easier for you to hit them.tion but you are still visibly unseen. Which is where it makes sense that its harder to hit you and easier for you to hit them.
