I will inevitably buy the game, but I swore off buying anything at launch. I played both baldur's gates games, both neverwinter nights games and all of their expansions. Each one was easily my favourite game at the time.

How does the new baldur's gate compare to these?

did baldurs gate 3 just launch? I thought it had been out for awhile.

It's been in early access for awhile, only the first chapter was available to play. The full game just launched.

they're pretty similar but with higher production values and more environmental effects.

the game reminds me of dragon age and NW

i've played the system this one uses.. their previous title, Pathfinder:Kingmaker, uses an earlier version of what they're using in this one.. it's a pretty solid system that makes the game mechanics pretty accessible.. i guess they even improved that in this game, from what i've read so far..

the system allows for some fun effect stacking that results in big damage, and good combo physical effects in the environment.. it's fun..

I think you're mixing up your studios: Larian's previous game is Divinity: Original Sin 2.
