Baldur's Gate 3 Far Surpassed My Expectations!

Maybe D&D wasn't meant to be a gay pride parade.

Invent a time machine, travel back to the 1970s, and convince Ed Greenwood that his personal AD&D campaign setting is not the place for expressing his sexual fantasies.

To be fair, BG3 is rather expression of modern big city sensibilities, not Ed Greenwood's free love hippy creep fantasies - there is no casual orgies, incest or other weird Greenwood stuff.

Thought it would be mediocre, at worst simply bad...but it really one of a kind.
Maybe the absolute worst game ever made, period, at least of AAA releases last couple decades...

Only gave it a try because it made the 100 best games list here...but really belongs on a 100 worst games list, with BG3 near the top.
TBH, didn't play it to completion, quit very early, after a scene of two monsters butt-f***ing in a barn...seriously Larian, you know kids play this game?!?

It's not just the (gay, furry) pornography, the game makes no sense, Larian just threw in a bunch of s**t from the D&D universe with no
rhyme or reason...Mind Flayers! Dragons! Githyankis! Trip through Hell Itself Attacked by Demons! That's just the prelude, before you even start playing....
And the prelude is the high point, it gets steadily worse as you advance...

The only good/accurate thing about the Codex top 100 review was describing the game as a 'freakshow'...and perhaps the reviewer is
correct that this is the best of Larian's recent games, can't say I haven't played the 'DOS' series, though if they are worse than this they must be pretty bad indeed!

Also the game is horribly balanced, for instance there is one conversation which requires passing *4* quick consecutive dice rolls, lose just one and Game Over.
Fun!

And yet the original Baldur's Gate 3 still has far better gameplay than BG1&2.

It's because it is turn based.
