It's a double post, I know.

So I've played a bit into it just to get a feel. The game has a lot of promise. It doesn't feel like Divinity with a BG skin thrown on top. I'm not going to do an in depth review because that's not my thing. All I can say is it feels like a game I could easily lose myself in, perhaps forgetting what time the clock says :D

I'm probably going to stop for now because I don't want to spoil too much for myself before it's polished and ready to go. I'm really going to be looking forward to this one.

It was like 59.35 GB when I downloaded it. Where are you getting 85 GB? I got it on Steam if that matters.

I donwloaded 60gb, the game took around 85gb after installing, should have specified.

Manually compressing the game got it down to 68gb. But I'm guessing they could do a lot better on their end.
 
if they remove all of the bugs the game would be an easy 9 or 10/10
so far its kinda broken though, especially the coop side
You can actually jump down the purple hole in the lair of the mother warp spider.
Originally i did it because i don't like the orc(?) girl very much but it turns out there's a whole location down there.
I don't know how to get to it without dying (yet) or if this is hinted at anywhere but its pretty cool nevertheless.

It's because older games used to have similar music, it's like getting a game themed around the 1980's and having a power ballad to show up. It's thematically appropriate, which is why it works.

Like look how much rock music is in a single Ys title.
 
So I've been playing this with 2 of my buddies.

We were encountering bug after bug, mostly desyncs error due to NPC. When in co-op one person talks to the NPC but the other plays aren't necessarily dragged into the dialogue window to watch it, they have to walk up and click your character. So if the free player does something important, it can desync. For example our party approaches a goblin village. Someone in the party automatically started a dialogue window when we approached but I never saw them do it (the game gives no signal another play is in convo). I went up and killed the very NPC he was talking to right after he negotiated them into neutrality. Needless to say, the game shit the bed there. Sometimes we'd desync in battle, so for one person everyone is just standing around doing nothing, while everything continues on as normal for other players.

Eventually we switched it from Vulkan to DirectX 11, not only does it improve the graphics and UI a bit but de-syncs don't happen quite as often. Definitely do this right away if you're having a lot of bugs. Even the devs recommend that.

On the positive side, the map is gorgeous and interesting, the facial animations are pretty good. I'm a modest 5th edition D&D fan so the combat mechanics may appeal to me a bit more, but I found it pretty satisfying. It needs to be expanded upon and refined for sure but it's a good start. Passing dice based skill checks for tons of random encounters feels very tabletoppy to me. I like how even if you fail one of these checks it's usually not a big deal, it seems like most situations have multiple ways to resolve them. I haven't had any problems with the dialogue, the writing and voice work are solid.

Has a lot of potential for sure, if Larian comes through with updates and improves, this could easily be a 9/10 game. They definitely need to address the multitude of bugs but that's expected from EA. In it's current state I definitely don't recommend it for $60, after a few rounds of updates it might be worth it.

Adored my time with BG3. Took about ~33 hours to get through the first chapter. There’s tons of jank, but I only CTD’d once, and I could see the strings unraveling before the crash. Had a character sneaking forward toward an enemy, clearly looking at them, and my character was passing every stealth check. When I made it to the hostile and backstabbed it, the game crashed. My favorite bug is getting those delicious d20 rolls and having the opposition violently contort and launch to the Astral plane. Good shit.

My chief complaint with the game is the camera, and collision detection. Especially in the Underdark areas, holy fucking shit. The lifeless animations for dialogue will be smoothed out over time. Also, it’d be swell to place more emphasis on things that you discover in the wild when you either pass or fail perception checks.

I had a great time with the first act. I’m not looking forward to playing this ~30 hours when the game launches, again, but I’ll speed through it.

It’s a hard sell for most at the current price point. I’m a big fan of Larian’s games, and love the lore of Forgotten Realms so it was an easy purchase for me. 25-30 hours is more than you get out of most games, and I thought what I played was totally quality.
