I played Baldurs Gate so you don't have to 

So we don't have to? It's one of the best games in decades why wouldn't anyone want to play it

Love your videos, came here from your Pirates! review. On the topic of RPGs, does Dragon's Dogma MATTER? I'd love to bring some hype back to that classic.

One of the greatest games I've ever played and perhaps the best

I came with rocks in my hand to throw on your face, based on the title haha, yeah ive got 200 hours until i finished it, and it just get better and better.

I will be honest before i play buy many games i just download it from torrents to test it out to see if it's worth my money.Most of them i just end up buying but since Witcher and Divinioty:Original Sin i just went blind,slaped my money on the table and never look back because those were the games worth for me my money.

I never played so much a game and still looking forward to more playthroughs 100% GOTY for me

The devs *LIED.* They said a _completionist_ type of run where you do everything, read everything etc that is possible to do in one run would take 100-125 hours. Utterly false. I did everything possible, only locked myself out of a few small side quests, haven't even finished my first run, am familiar with D&D, and read about 2 pages per minute...over 225 hours. With 3 big quest lines to go. Granted, I could finish the game at any time and have been at max level for over 100 hours, but there is so much in this game it is *INSANE.* If you are playing a good aligned player that has morals *AND* common sense, the size and scope these devs put in the game is utterly *insane.* Like larger than The WItcher 3 and both of it's expansions by a good margin. I also read every book, every scroll, note, sign, torn piece of paper, item description etc and would estimate, considering my bag of books weighs over 900lbs and my note bag has over 350 scraps in it, I probably read about 2 standard paperback D&D novels while playing, not counting items, spells and creature descriptions. So yep, there is a lot of reading, but 99.9% of it is unnecessary and only there to make the game better for people who enjoy the lore and enjoy reading. There are a few things that are necessary, but the majority of those are voice acted or the narrator let's you know that it is something you need to read to progress something. What a game. I restarted another playthrough where I'm not as nice, don't have to read everything bc, well I already have, often more than once, and this character isn't as _"Let's fix the world"_ focused, more like _"Let's fix our problems and if it makes the world better along the way, great, but our getting to the bottom of the big problems are far more important than everything else."_ Hopefully I'm not running around the entirety of Act 3 at level 12 again. Or, they raise the darn level cap in which case I'd go back to my first playthrough. Or, they release their mod tools which were supposed to be out a week or two after release so we can use a level cap mod that doesn't disable all of the achievements. If you can get them on Explorer as opposed to Balanced I see no reason why raising the level cap would be an issue. They put the content in. Expecting people to play for 100+ hours at max level is ridiculous. Come on Larian, you made what is probably the best game, or at least the best RPG since DragonAge: Origins or the Mass Effect series (I consider ME1, 2 and 3 1 big game even though the mechanics are a bit different from 1 to 2 to 3; they are close enough for me to consider 1 game). Larian has done something _"Absolute"_ly incredible. There are just a couple of things that can literally be game breakers for some people. For me, running around for 100 hours and then some with no progress of note character-wise was just too much. Even my approval ratings are all pretty much maxed out. Lol, I can't even improve that anymore. _sigh_ Over 100K gold, geared to the gils, Wyrmway, the House of Hope and the end of the _"Hand"_ Bag saga, which is also a meeting with *my* last person who has something I need since the others were dispatched a while back...Ugh. Just way too much content for thorough players to have this level cap. 129K XP since hitting level 12. C'mon Larian, you're killing me here. What a game though. My goodness. I took 3.5 weeks of vacation time and spent a good 12 hours a day playing it. That is utterly unheard of for me. I haven't done anything like this since I was a kid with pneumonia stuck at home for a week and a half. This title is an absolute masterpiece, and has now sold over 9.4m copies on Steam alone. An estimated 2.5M on GoG with no PlayStation numbers released...that's going to be an incredible amount of units sold, at *FULL* price (or close to full since they gave all the Early Access people, or about 2.5M people the deluxe edition for $50 USD), $70 on the PlayStation...yeah, they have to release an expansion. A free _"Definitive Edition"_ like they did with Divinity: original Sin 1 and 2 won't cut it. The game is just too successful to not have an expansion. Considering the players want one as well, I can't see them saying _"Nah, we'll just throw in some of the things we wanted to finish but couldn't properly bug test of balance then call it a day."_ Yikes I love this game. I have Starfield and pre-ordered Phantom Liberty but have zero interest in playing either one right now. Craziness I tell you what. /end rant

Agreed BG3 is wow. I got my issues with Lae 'Zel as well but overtime later on she does ease up and start to feel like part of the family as the bitchy sister lmafo. Seriously tho this is an awesome game and I am so hooked and know I'm going to do multiple replays
