Baldur's Gate 3 vs Starfield

[☆ Akazu_]

What are you going to pick ? maybe buy both

Both games have a different design choice when it comes for RPGs , Bethesda gives a sandbox experience with tons of mod support while BG3 is all about story, developing characters and companions.

I personally will be playing tons of BG3 , and then depending on the reviews I will see if I will buy Starfield , Bethesda games tend to be buggy at launch though

BG3 first because it’s made by a great company and it’ll be feature complete at launch… then Starfield when it’s actually finished in 2025.

Starfield because it's 3.00's cheaper.

Sounds like a really tough call. I'll leave it to the online gamer activists to give me the insights necessary to make an informed decision on this matter.

Baldur's Gate 3 first, easily. Might kill some of the time before Starfield mods start to drop

[-OrLoK- Слава Україн]

I never really *clicked* with the divine destiny series, so I'll probably wait for reviews and make a judgement then.

[Mollerz]

Both.

Like everyone else with interest in either game.

i hate turn based combat so i have zero interest in Baldur's Gate 3 personally.

Baldur's Gate 3 sounds like a dating simulator to me. I'm not a big fan of Larian, and I'm certainly not going to pay good money for a top-down, turn-based isometric game in 2023. That's so two decades ago.

There's no chance it's going to resemble Baldur's Gate. All it's going to do is trash the whole franchise with something that's really Original Sin 3. Might be fine for those who've never actually played Baldur's Gate, but it's not going to please most folks who have.

Both as well then switch off from time to time :)

It baffles me how people still manage to dislike Larian and BG3. I mean, I kind of get the isometric RPG thing - I thought Divinity was going to be the most boring game ever, (looked old school and I was used to games like Skyrim), but I got it on sale and was pleasantly surprised.

Maybe you’re not a fan of their writing, I get that, but the combat is some of the best in gaming history.

Different strokes for different folks. The ground-effect heavy, element-combining minigame got really, really tedious really, really fast. It was an amusing gimmick for about two hours. Original Sin 2 was so bad I had it removed from my account.

He's trashing it because it's woke. His post history is nothing but propaganda and hate, ignore him.

I’m the sleepiest man on the planet, and I intend on enjoying the game regardless of its state of consciousness.

Same. This weird obsession with forcing games to align to their political views is nuts to me. Baldur's Gate 3 looks to be the most in depth RPG in at least 15 years. I'm not passing that up because of politics.

I already own BG3, got that day one on the EA release. I don't often dedicate all my time to one game, and since the release was moved up I can play BG3 for a solid while before trying out Starfield. I'll probably be switching between them though.
