Starfield is better than BG3 in almost every way.

[korytoombs]

I have only played Starfield for a handful of hours, but I'm already enjoying it more than BG3.

The game for one runs way smoother. No crashing or game freezing or repeating cut scenes, things bg3 is filled with

BG3 browbeats you with it's difficulty for the first few hours. Around level 5 or 6 some battles become jokingly easy. No balance or const.

I have literally yelled and rage quit while playing bg3. Starfield just feels like a game for non hardcore or meta build players.

And here I'm starter system, fighting at lvl 7 against lvl 40 aliens or get melded in second while hunted by lvl 12 mercs in my ship.

I like the game, but I believe experiences will differ.

Just no, just because you enjoy it more doesn't make Starfield a better game. It just means the other game is not for you.

I'm still having a hard time with all the BG3-Starfield comparisons when the games are almost nothing alike.

BG3 is vastly superior with characters, stories and world building. Vastly... superior. It also has a steeper learning curve, and rewards more patience and thoughtful approaches. Its also on a set of tracks and railroads you down a storyline.

Starfield on the other hand has a ton of freedom and a massive world to just do what you want in. Its easier, by alot. Its set in space as opposed to a fantasy world, and its more open world.

Starfield is not 'better' than BG3 because they are fundamentally completely different games and objectively fill different roles. Starfield is objectively better at world freedom and crafting, while Baldurs Gate 3 knocks Starfield out of the park with writing, characters and story.

I'm glad you found a game that's more your speed.

Have you noticed that there are no mature themes at all in Starfield, though? That's right... It's a game for kids!

100% sure it

I think both games are brilliant in their own respective ways, personally.

When I want to play a (solo or, crucially, co-op - which is a super chill experience with a friend imo) meticulous, turn-based, dice roll managed, third person Dnd-centric roleplaying game with an incredibly granular approach to every little thing I do and a very well curated story campaign that gets dolled out to me, I play BG3.

When I want more of a sandbox in space that has a ton of different faction quests, that lets me just go off and be an independent merc with my own ship and build my own home base and live off of random gigs or bounties, or I want to experience an atmospheric Bethesda style game set in space (I keep saying it feels like Morrowind in space to me, which I love,) in first person (I've never liked Bethesda's third person cameras and this game is no exception,) I play Starfield.

CRPG's aren't for everybody, I get that. I can see how people would like Starfield more than BG3.

For me, though? BG3 dunks on this game so hard it's almost comical. It's pretty hard to directly compare a well directed fantasy rpg with a good story to a sandbox space simulator, though.

[Volk]

Sounds like a skill problem lol

[Steppenrazor]

the lack of trans-morphed bear **** is a major plus.

[Fraktal]

Neither Barrett or Sam tried chasing me to suck my wang. So it’s instantly better.

[Alenfal]

Lol, sure. The outpost-building and gunplay of BG3 is rather lackluster.

Well, Baldur's Gate 3 had AAA studio developers freak out and push against it saying it could not be the next standard setting, that it was too hard to achieve, and this and that. I don't see this happening with Starfield.

Starfield will be a "what not to do" example for future space games. Although space games in the past already did it better so...

bg3 is literally easy as ♥♥♥♥ lol but I'm glad you've found a game for your skill level
