Baldur's Gate 3

I’m a good few hours in and covered a bit of ground now. I keep stumbling across battles which seem above my level so am busy circling around trying to level up and go back to tidy up (assuming baddies don’t level with you).
 
I was 30 hours into playthrough number three but made the mistake of playing without an internet connection (fibre box stopped working for 4 days) and it seems the cloudsync function can bugger up your ability to load already saved games. Resorting to reddit shows this not to be uncommon: it's the "75% or 81%" load error. Very annoying so uninstalled.
 
Just started. 12 hours in. The voice acting / story telling / animations / dialogue etc are 10/10. I am very overwhelmed by all the systems, attacks, spells, actions, movement etc. Also trying very hard to not look up things as it’s going to ruin a natural play through. Already had spoilers looking up info on areas.
 
Hit level four last night so feel more able to proceed with the quests now, really enjoying this but as @ColdAsIce says, there are so many things going on in the systems.

Yes, I do try to look for alternatives but sometimes a good scrap is fun!

I’m having a good time just exploring too.

I played the Dark Urge with my friends recently and murdered EVERYONE. With the exception of Shadowheart.
It’s great fun.

Yeah, my one and only advice for this game would be don't look up anything online, and don't be a completist. Get other stuff on the next playthrough. If you complete everything and get all the XP, the game becomes too easy.
 
I completed this amazing game ages ago, one of the best RPG's I have ever played.
Tried loading it up and playing as the dark urge, but I get about as far as halfway through the first act and lose the will to play it anymore :). It's still an amazing game but I rarely do another playthrough of RPG's
 
Yeah that’s why I tried to do everything I could on the first run because I knew it was like unlikely I’d do a second and I was right.
I say do as much as you can because imo act 2 and 3 are no way near strong enough to warrant subsequent play through.

Edit. I can’t recall if I did actually do two play through or just saved at a certain point and took different directions. Either way, act 1 is one of my favourite parts of any CRPG.

Picked this up after new year (having followed since release, but at least has been fully tested now)
Went with a githyanki ranger, which seems a reasonable choice - have had some interesting interactions with Lia-zeal!
Just follow my own story and talk to everyone - had a couple of surprises in Act 1 so far, like a barn!
Started exploring mountain pass, having found a way to the alternative route first. Seem to be hoarding scrolls!
As I seem to be doing a mostly "good" playthough, looking forward to an evil drow bard on next playthrough, whenever that is!

I knowingly (well, in retrospect) skipped some bits to save for another play through like the whole owl bear area in act 1. I didn't realise I could go down there until I was like level 5 and going after Ethel so I left that bit for another time.

Just got to the end of act 2 for the first time with my human goodie two shoes bard. 100 hours and counting. Some really tough fights like the merregons (unintentional fight in the first place that caused a wipe) and the mind flayers that seem to love Laezel's brains were in contrast to the boss fight that I somehow managed to do in like 3 turns each phase.
