i've been quiet here to avoid major spoilers (posting them OR seeing them), but i started act 2 last night and holy shit, oh my god, this game is so good. it feels like a cross between playing dnd with the world's most competent DM and reading a really good fantasy novel.

#bog post #bg3 #bog plays bg3 #it feels like it stapled together elements of other games i really enjoyed #the companion dynamics remind me of dragon age (esp DAO)#there's a lot of witcher 3 vibes esp in the way disparate plots tend to flow toward each other #(despite being open world witcher 3's narrative was actually very good and intuitive - i stumbled into it trying to AVOID it #and it felt v natural)#the PC is very expressive despite not being able to audibly speak in dialogues #which is something XIV really started doing in later expansions too #there are other references and similarities i'm sure!#i can only speak to my personal bank of memories and there are lots of other good games out there #and i'm not trying to be competitive or put one thing down to lift another up #but BG3 feels like... the version of DAO that must have been living in the devs' minds?#DAO is ofc like 14 years old and made under very different circumstances #but i think that's BG3's closest point of comparison wrt games from other studios imo #this is how i felt when i really got my hooks into DAO and fell in love with dragon age
