I almost could group Baldur's Gate as yet another series where there's a major increase in popularity with the third installment, but BG2 was actually pretty popular, and it's not like BG3 is some massive mainstream hit. --- -J2K Currently Streaming: Homeland, Travelers, Dark, Ahsoka, Jack Ryan, ST: Lower Dekcs <cite>Justin2Krelian posted [p:976862149] in The Witche...

boxoto 10/25/23 9:42:12 PM #2:	Baldur's Gate 3, for me, if we're just talking about main campaigns. I think Witcher 3 is a great experience, but Baldur's Gate 3 feels much more expansive, with a lot more freedom, and you feel like you have a bigger role in it due to all the ways that you can play through it, deal with NPCs and the rest of the world, and so on. the DLCs might give Witcher 3 the edge, though. --- Don't you agree, Zach? https://streamable.com/enq4r7 <cite>boxoto posted [p:976862273] in The Witche...

LeoRavus 10/25/23 10:58:59 PM #15:	Apples to oranges. TW3 is an open world action RPG. BG3 is fairly linear turn based RPG. I'm not thrilled with the camera in BG3. Can't look up, and it can be hard to target enemies at times depending on where you're attacked . It also stutters in certain areas of the game no matter how low I set the graphics on a high end PC. --- This is where cool people write stuff. <cite>LeoRavus posted [p:976863455] in The Witche...
