Likely a bit of both...anyways the point of this long winded introduction is for me to say how completely blown away I am by Baldur's Gate 3. Like my 80's pimply faced teenager self wouldn't have been able to fathom that such a game could even exist. Like I spent hours creating my character and the detail and graphics are insane. Then I went through the opening few sequences and my jaw just dropped. I've barely scratched the surface of the game as I just landed the ship and started exploring. I'm just hoping it's not too difficult and that I will be able to figure it out and enjoy it. Any beginner tips for an old, old, old school RPG player would be greatly appreciated. Thanks my friends  |
I'm right there with you, I started playing pen and paper D and D in the early/mid eighties and loved it. Had a strong group of friends that got together most Sundays for a couple of years then i left Calgary and never played pen and paper again.
Then came Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows of Ahm in 2000 and I was addicted to computer RPGs. This game is blowing me away in it's detail. I mean you even decide if you character is cut or uncut(and amount of pubic hair...lol).
I don't really have any tips other than use your search button and to take your time. On the PS5 it's the X button. Small spoiler ahead but it shouldn't ruin anything should you decide to read.
And make sure you switch to turn based mode if/when you are sneaking up on a hostile group.
Enjoy and don't be in a rush!
