    It is a single player game with co-op, it is not a live service game so dont expect "MMO"-likeness. You buy the game and you get the full experience, no DLC that you have t wait for, for 6 months in order to get a "complete" game. Maybe in the future there will be expansions packs.
    As the game is now, there will be hundreds of hours of content and people will be playing this for years just like with DoS2 and the Pathfinder games, it is a DnD game afterall so the replay-ability will be huge

      Hope we do get a expansion of some sort down the road that pushes the lvl cap to 20 (currently 12) coz there are some really cool spells and class abilities that we won't get to use with the current cap

      @@SywoSan The pvp idea might have merit (it is usually not something you get in single player games) but it could be implemented in a narrative way that if you reach the city of Baldur´s Gate and there is an arena where "gladiators can test their mettle" then, yes, it could work.

      @@ninjakiwi2476 I am hoping for it too, expansion packs something along the lines of what witcher 3 did. Level cap of 20 would be insane though, that means we are basically gods and therefore it would have to take us to fight gods, to the deepest levels of hell or something like that. lv12 lore wise is already dragon killing potential and you are considered and legendary hero pretty much

      Dungeon crawling is a thing in D&D and other paper and dice RPGs (as BG in reality is) in hope that you find that +1 or +2 armour, that cloak that makes you a shapeshifter, or that weapon that has magical dmg as well as physical dmg. And on the other part, learning the importance of identitying magical gear before using them, in case by they are cursed (for instance 2 handed sword +3, but with blind Berserkr curse (yes attacking friends is a thing 😅))

    I played BG1 and BG2 to death as a teenager. BG3 coming out after all these years is a dream come true.
    BG3 will be an epic game, it will be the best RPG ever made to date, and one of the best videogames of all time. It will be wonderful for everyone that enjoys a good story and specially tailoring the story around your own decisions.
    However, BG3 is not an MMORPG. There is no competition, only cooperation between players. It requires a lot of progress (hours) to level up at any level. It is not a game for text/cinematics skippers or people that see videogames as a race (like it happens on MMOs).
    BG3 will be almost perfect for DnD fans and enthusiasts, for singleplayer TRPG players and even for people who like to play cooperatively, it will not be very satisfying for competitive gamers.

    I usually tell people that Baldurs gate is a true RPG (paper and dice) made for computer, and not a MMORPG inspired computer game inspired by fantasy. Where tactics are more important than spell rotation (I do love 1st person, single player rpg and MMORPG as well), making it in that case that Baldurs Gate could as easily be played around a table with paper and dices instead of on the PC (your actions in the game is still made by dice rolls, just behind the scenes).
    When it comes to replayability, there's absolutely no reason ti include PVP, as the game have 17000 different endings, meaning,that every playthrough potentially has a totally different endings. Also the fact they everything is decided by dice rolls, it would be hard to compete in pvp as the results of a match would come from how lucky you were with the dice, and tactics than on how good your rotation/gear is.
    S tip would be to observe a tabletop rpg to understand the mechanical part of it.
    The fact that it is a computer conversion of a turn based paper and dice rpg, is why the game get so much attention and love, as it talk to both the rpg geeks, PC and console gamers.
    It takes time to get used to turn based though ø, but compared to Sid Meier games, BG is fast-paced.

    Nice rundown man. As a PoE veteran and a lover of many different genres of games, I can't wait for BG3 to drop in a few days. Yeah it's not really like what I normally play, but I think that's a good thing. Like you said, sometimes it's good to change it up and do something different. Truth is I wasn't going to buy BG3. Then I started seeing other developers complaining about how it was not the new "standard" and in effect it was unfair that Larian was able to put such a huge and impressive game together. After seeing this, of course I had to dive in and give the game a go! Best advertising Larian could have hoped for honestly.

    A fun fact, developers stated there's 17.000 variations of different endings in the game depending on your choices. Which basically means, everyone will have different experience of playing the game.
    There's also crazy amount of interactions you can get, every time I replayed early access I found out new things I can do, I seen people play for 5k hours just the early access and they still find new things in the game. Just recently I saw that pigs can climb down the stair, and they have cutest/funniest animation for it!

      I actually didn't. :D I only saw one trailer before clicking buy on steam. (I'm an impulsive shopper)

    Loot and crafting will def be deeper in the full game. That’s according to reviewers, anyway.

    When I found out you have a roll a dice before doing something my excitement kinda vanished but maybe it’s not that bad we’ll see

      what did you think Dungeons and Dragons was?

      Game adheres strictly to DND rulesets. Its basically a tabletop campaign presented in a graphical format. Almost every action in game has a dice roll attached - only certain important ones get presented to the player in BG.

      I actually thought D&D was a very old MMORPG from before WoW, that people liked but it got too old and they shut it down. Imagine my surprise learning what it actually is.

      If you're curious there are some fun channels on YT that record their real D&D campaigns and get to see what it's all about :D
