Have you finished the game more than 1 or 2 times?

[shi-foo]

How many times are they finishing the game? Me starting my fourth, in just 410 hours, the reason why so many is that I play each game as if it were the first, and they last me a long time, because I still don't get tired and I don't see the need to advance quickly, I still enjoy it as my first game.

I have over 1000 hours (though about 400 were from Early Access), and still only actually finished the game twice. I think it's because I don't like getting to the end of games/stories I enjoy :)

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

Almost 1000 hours and I haven't finished it yet. Barely been to Act 2.

[Vice]

Beaten it twice. Once in MP and once in Single Player.

[Bastila Shan]

Pfft no theres no point. I just finished it once then reloaded to pick the alternate endings. I reloaded to the part where you confront the elder brain in its lair and from there you can do a few different endings.

But now im slowly doing a durge playthrough but doesnt seem like a hugely different game or anything but its fun.

I have done 4 playthroughs as Tav and then I started as each of the companions. I still have to do Gale and Wyll and I am halfway done Astarion. I really prefer Durge over generic Tav and generic Tav over the companions so far.

[Detective Costeau]

Finished 3 times, will likely do a 4th after the next big patch drops.
I like the game a lot and there's fun stuff to find. Usually wait a month or so between runs so I don't burn myself out on it.
Honestly you'd get your money's worth finishing it once anyway, though.

[Jarsonne]

Failed finish my second play. Cause is mainly because I did on purpose various evil chocies picked some evil path and picked Dark Urge allowing play good but putting you in shoes of some psychotic evil without control on himself.

The problem is I didn't like this evil play, it's like my character get gradually corrupted loosing more and more interest.

And this replay wasn't even a chained replay, and for that the cause is my first pay last just too long, like 200H.

The flawed Starfield did much better with 3 full chained plays, rather rare for me (I don't mean replay after months or years. I'm not saying SF is better than BG3. :-)

I played my first game as Tav and my second I wanted to play as a cleric and with a deity, originally it was going to be Tav from Selune or some really "rare" deity that appears very little in the game to see what new interactions I can have , but in the end, I decided to lean towards shar and played with shadowheart

right now I'm with Tav again as a revenge paladin

I'm playing the three games well.

And I want to start my fourth one, which is honor mode, making a totally evil build with dark urge, and take advantage of the big update and say goodbye to the game :), although it will hurt, I have many games to play, and I'm interested in playing countless ways, as an evil oathbreaker, a githyanki, living Gale's story in the first person, playing as a wyll, (here I would like to play as a warlock, but I would do two in one, warlock and wyll). I would do wyll simply because I don't really like the story and giving it so much dialogue so I prefer to play it in first person hahaha. But, unfortunately I probably won't do all of this, it consumes a lot of my time from other Baldurs Gate 3 games. And I'm going to have to be left with the anger of having wanted to play in a thousand different ways, since I really want to play in many ways that interest me, as is a clergyman of Selune. And that will probably be my next and last game after honor, as a cleric of Selune.

Will eventually with a co-op playthrough, but I wont do it on my own.

I tried many COOP games with my friends, but I just can't, I literally can't play, we can't play well, for the simple fact that there are very different rhythms of play, I love doing everything, and he goes more to the point, At minute 15 he is already in a withered village.

[Chroniver]

Just once (but played through ACT1 a total of 3,5 times in EA).

Will play a Dark Urge playthrough after patch 7.

I would recommend at least one redeemed Durge playthrough, it honestly feels like the "canon" path.

The friend I am playing with right now has not finished it yet. It's kind of her first playthrough and definitely her playthrough, so I am matching her rhythm, while playing with wild magic and not explaining it.

[Hawke]

Several times (all completed):
Halfling rogue
Githyanki sorcerer
Elf Dark Urge sorcerer
Wyll as a sorcerer
The game being relatively short (15-40 hours) helped.

I've done a bunch of playthroughs now, aside from the Karlach and Astarion origin playthrough all of them as lolth-sworn drow and most of them as some flavor of warlock multiclass, because I just enjoy the overall playstile that comes with the class and the dialogue options that come with being a drow.

First was a drow sorclock tav, who only allied with the rest of the party out of convenience and because she figured that taking on the task of getting rid of the tadpole would be suicide with extra steps. Well, Karlach and later Jaheira started to wear her down and she became a bit of a begrudging hero.
Second was a drow bardlock durge, who took her amnesia as a chance to start anew and made an effort to be good from the start, simply because she hated the fact that there was something inside her that pushed her towards being evil. Some mistakes were made in the pursuit of goodness, such as releasing 7000 vampire spawn with the airtight reasoning of "If I believe they can't control their bloodthirst, what right do I have to live?"
Third was a drow palalock Tav in a co-op playthrough, who once again was much closer to the evil side of the spectrum and never fully became good like her predecessors. Girl relished in torture, murder and manipulation and would have taken over the Absolute if given the chance, but sadly (or not so sadly) the tiefling she was travelling with was calling the shots in the end.
Forth was my Karlach-origin playthrough, in which I romanced Astarion and went to Avernus with him afterwards.
Fifth was Astarion to experience the same pairing I did before, but from the other side. For some reason I didn't get the chance to convince Karlach to go to Avernus with me and she died alone on the docks while I was hiding from the sun.
Sixth was a male drow durge, once again palalock, who, not knowing who he was prior to being tadpoled, was just glad not to be stuck in the underdark as a second-class citizen. He was a little rough around the edges, prone to anger, but not outright evil, and made an effort to resist the urge within, as well as letting the people around him know that he was driven to murder so that they could decide whether sticking close was worth the risk. Broke his oath early in act one, believing not to be worthy of it, and only reclaimed it after he killed Orin and rejected his father's heritage. My headcanon is that he became a harper after everything was over and stayed in close contact with Jaheira and Minsc.

Don't think I'll tire of this game anytime soon, because I am suffering from severe TTRPG withdrawal and BG3 scratches that itch. I have two co-op playthroughs going on with two different people, and a solo-playthrough that I'm using mostly to test out some mods for co-op.
