    Having played though BG3 a total of 4 times now, it’s way too highly rated. It’s an 80 at best.

    Planescape Torment is far better.

      This is like seeing a negative steam review with 1.2k hours of playtime.

      PS:T is good though, no guff there.

        I was one of the 350 that beat the game in the opening weekend. Just really good at this type of game and had a week off.

        If you are taking your time and completing every quest then you can easily get 30 hours out of a play though.

            Currently 65~ hours into my first playthrough. Being a completionist help, but that dude has to be smoking crack and be a pro level speedrunner to have completed it four times with anything more than the most bulldoze through the plot approach.

              Definitely not a pro speed runner. This guy’s are being the game in 10 minutes with only one small glitch near the end.

              Also you can’t do a true completions run as aspects of the game are locked off once you progress down a path.

              Cope, you’re just slow or bad at the game.

            You can replay it for 100 hours if you make the same choices over and over, sure.

            Right now the game is heavily dependant on the modding scene, which is pretty weak.

              My wife and I barely got through our first one and that took us 45 hours alone. I don’t think we’d have a hard time milking it for another 100.

                The game is 3 years old. All of the early access mods have already been ported over to full release.

          Ah that makes sense, I could see experienced players being able to run through the content easily.

          Baldur’s Gate 3 is only my second experience with the real time cRPG genre, so I’m definitely in awe of all the other players min-maxing their stats and abilities like it’s nothing lol. I’m having a lot of fun though!
