Honestly it's worth it at full price.

Agreed. This is one of those situations where I actually want to vote with my wallet if I can. They made a stellar game, it want them to make a shitload of money. That's the only way we're going to get another game of BG3 quality.

I pirated this game, and after about 4 hours I bought it at full price for that exact reason.

It's worth it full price. On GOG. Play it with a 4 player party on one copy. Then buy more copies once there is a sale / once you want to support the devs.

Why do you need so many copies?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

multi-player. BG3 allows you to play the entire game with up to 4 people.

Definitely BG3 earns the rare title of 'a complete game' and presents a great experience.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's not that rare. You just have to expand your horizons beyond the AAA games with the most marketing.

That's a fair counter. Indie games definitely hit above their weight class more often. But for a project of this scale it's refreshing.

Probably, but that's a lot of money that I don't really have to spend.
