Balders gate 3. Just couldn’t get into it
Did you play any of the Dragon Age games? I've heard the combat is pretty similar, which is a bummer because that was the thing that kept me from continuing DA:O. I feel like I'd enjoy the story of both but can't get past the actual gameplay.
I played DA:O too but also couldn’t get into it. And yes same as yourself, I just couldn’t get passed the gameplay
Curious: what about it, do you know?
For me it's not a bad game by itself. But I think it's the worst recent CRPG by far, so it irks me that it's heralded as the best game ever everywhere. Some details:
You forgot about "Bear Himbo"
It's Baldur's Gate in name only. They took Divinity and slapped a Forgotten Realms skin on it.
It's still the same terrible Larian game: player-punishing gameplay (low hit chance, overwhelming enemies), traps/hazards fucking everywhere, shallow class mechanics, and rage-inducing camera and UI controls. I will finish the game once and never touch it again (like all the other Divinity games).
That’s the thing I’m not entirely sure. I expected the graphics to be better and combat to be more exiting I guess? Especially for GOTY. Voice acting was a bit basic too
Same but I'm just not into RPGs or D&D generally.
So I got on that game and it was kind of fun up until the first town when my friends were like "we need to talk to people to figure out what to do."
I don't mind games having a bit of lore and story but ... I want to be doing (read: typically fighting) stuff in my games not just talking to a bunch of people... And when I don't even know what people I need to talk to, to most quickly get back to the action, I'm out.
The one exception to that is possibly RuneScape because I've been playing that game for ages. However, even there I use quest guides and sometimes just spam through all the dialogue.
