Baldur's Gate 3

I got this today from my son.

Never played a turn based combat game but I’ve heard this is one of the best games ever so am willing to dive in!
 
I've built up a giant hoard of scrolls and elixirs because I assume there will be a huge fight at some point that I'll really need them for but I just keep building them up. I might have a hoarding problem.
 
ive just started re-playing this again.
remember folk, use the eniroment to your advantage..

im not really very far through at the moment just after the crash, and went through the chapel with the skeletin dude.
i must remember to keep my nose out of things im not prepared for or want to deal with later..

Similar, I got to the fire Diablo like creature just passed the shadow lands about a year back (act 2 I believe). I did enjoy but didn't think it compared to the D&D games of yesteryear (Planscape torment I still ranked as the best game ever). Might go back to it.

It's a common issue - I think it's a combination of the overwhelming/cluttered approach to the city, lots of overlapping quests, no real "direction" at that point and the fact that many have already capped at lvl12 means the motivation drops off. Add on that many are already at 100+ hours at that point as well, so novelty starts to wane.
I'll also say that Act3 feels the least complete, and evidence of cut content with some things not really reaching a conclusion.

I mean, I'll context this by saying I absolutely love BG3. Played it through 3 times, and it still amazes me with it's scope sometimes, but I'm still aware of it's weaknesses.

Someone got it for my for Christmas too and I’m similar in terms of not being that into the genre. Gonna finish Chrono Trigger though and crack on. Let the Christmas gaming commence!

Careful, Chrono Trigger will tax your new 5090 to the limit! :p

its a really good game, if you enjoy DOS2 then you'll enjoy BG3 very similar in many regards, in that they offer you multiple ways to approach something and lots of environment details as well.
the chapel i mentioned had 3 routes to get inside if you were prepared to use them.
lots of little details like, "yes you can pick up that fish at a stall" but its owned by some one and you can find your self in a fight pretty quickly.
admittedly i didnt get far with DOS2. remember you can also multiplayer with it up to 4 total

i am finding the spell system in BG3 a bit irritating, why cant i just blast away with my spells!! (stupid spell slots ;) )
i cant actually remember if DOS2 had the same limitation but does make you think a bit more tactically.
 
I've attempted getting into this game on two separate occasions now and it's frustrating to say the least!

In-between the turn based combat and dice rolls (and my entire party dying) it really comes across as much more a game of luck than actual skill.
