If you're gonna play this on a console, you really should get a mouse and keyboard plug in for this game. Having been used to playing the Divinity games on console, to now playing on PC I see why they say I don't see how you play this with a controller. Mouse and Keyboard gives you so many more options on how to approach doing shyt in this game, it's insane.l and it flat out feels better.

I’ve used both, controller is fine. It just takes time to get used to it if you typically use KM

In my game it was

the little girl Jenna

Oh that makes sense. She left my crew to go out on her own in my playthrough. Makes sense why I didn’t learn about

Spoiler

her being the shapeshifter

fukk that a wireless mouse and keyboard is $20 at Wal-Mart. A controller is an objrctively inferior experience in this game.

So use a mouse and keyboard, controller will be fine for most people, especially most console players. Its probably the best implementation of gamepad controls in a CRPG I’ve experienced.

But you don’t have to take my word for it.

Baldur's Gate 3 has controller support on Steam and it works beautifully

Just plug in a pad and start rolling dice, it's that simple

After beating it, Acts 1 and 2 seem like a completely different game compared to Act 3. Some people will like that, others not so much (myself included). I had to force myself to complete Act 3, while I couldn’t put the game down in Acts 1 and 2. The game felt disjointed. I may play it again in the not near future, to see what an evil or Dark Urge play through is like. I imagine many things will play out very differently.

I was gonna give this game a 10 in Acts 1 and 2, but it’s an 7 in Act 3, so it gets a 9/10 overall.

The fights at the end are very tedious and annoying/frustrating. Be warned.

Interesting…I’m actually enjoying Act 3 the most. I’m just about finished with most of the major quest lines.

Initially I was overwhelmed by all the different quests to do but over time I appreciated the more open-ended nature of it compared to Acts 1 & 2

That reminds me of something I did

Spoiler: disabling traps

I was in a dungeon with vents that would pour our poison gas constantly and was throwing objects at the vents to block them. Mistakenly threw a torch, which caused an endless explosion. I reload as fast as I could before it froze or something

Nah it was

Spoiler: NPC

I waited until Act 2 to beef with Auntie Ethel and this was in her liar

Oh regarding the mausoleum and that warning

Spoiler

If you're in the gauntlet of shar and that warning popped up that's the warning for the point of no return on Act 2. If you have any loose ends wrap em up, I almost missed the githyanki camp not realizing and going past that warning

[Gizmo_Duck]

shyt, i knew Thorms voice sounded familiar, JK Simmons? Damn they got some good talent in this game

 

[Canon]

how's it looking on the PS5 boys?

 

[Ciggavelli]

Did anybody figure out how to save

Spoiler

Karlach from death

at then end? I guess I could have sent her to

Spoiler

Avernus, but that seemed worse than death

What about making Gale a

Spoiler

god

. Did anybody to that? In my playthrough they basically just said

Spoiler

the crown was in the ocean and Gale would give it to Mystra, which I wanted him to do, but of course they didn’t show it
