I'm 40 hours in and I'm just past the goblin bit. I think this is going to be a long play through :D Think I cheesed the goblin encampment and I missed quite a bit of dialogue:
I basically sneaked into the goblin camp through the top then let loose the iron flask, I think that was mistake number one as it might actually be an important item. As a result of that I killed everything inside the camp including npcs I now realise (after going back and loading a save and going through the front door) I may have missed a load of dialogue from the goblins and opportunities for approval with my team mates. Oh, I can't get that healing ring as the vendor turned hostile :(

i quicked saved before & pulled the entire fort through the front door, used gale to setup grease trap & set the entire fort on fire, Then repeated so as they run after me they died in fire. then it was just the big guy to kill

Yup, Gale is a human and all humans get light armour proficiency and as per D&D5e rules you can cast spells in armour if you have the proficiency. So yuppers, you can armour him up :)

This must be my favorite game of all time, I love everything about it.

Camera angles annoy me. Some times I wont to look up the stairs/cliff, not at the floor.
 
Rogue Stealth seems massively OP, unless it's just me. I can stealth, and attack (ranged/melee) and do some pretty large numbers - then hide again. And this is every round; granted other characters have spells/abilities that can do similar but rely on a long rest after a single use...

Also, lots here using Shadowheart... granted she's support character but finding that she's too reliant on abilities that have a long rest cooldown, and past that her HP/Hit chance is incredibly low. Are people dual-classing her or...?
 
Some good tips in here thanks. I actually managed to kill the boss on the ship, but then got defeated by two more bad guys who showed up mid fight. Will carry on tonight and have a good explore around :)
 
Patch notes for todays patch :

Hello everyone,

Over the weekend, Baldur’s Gate 3 hit over 800,000 concurrent players on Steam – a number that surpassed our wildest expectations. Thank you for getting BG3 in the 10 most popular games of all time on Steam! It means the world to us, and we’ll continue to read and watch everything over the coming weeks.

That said, there’s work to be done on the road to the PlayStation 5 launch on September 6, and we’re busy working away on squashing some of the remaining bugs and issues that have come up since launch. We’ve got a new hotfix for you this week, addressing almost 300 crashes, blockers, and bugs. We saw a video floating around on the internet this week of… an unintentional gnome sorcerer wardrobe malfunction, and have kindly asked them to cover up while descending into the Underdark.

As ever, thank you to everyone who has taken the time to report these issues to us. Please reach out to our support team if you run into trouble.

ow yer know that feeling.
with BG3 being 100+hrs that a good chunck of time, let alone Cyberpunk Hogwarts Elden Ring amd others ect
not sure how much time i'll manage on this one, i cant see more than 40hrs for me at the momen.
partly the story continuity of story over the 4months.
 
I didn't love DOS, DOS2 or even (sadly) the original Baldur's Gate games.

But BG3 is amazing. Seriously fun, lots of room for experimentation, great dungeons, great characters (if a little cliched), great quests, great combat.

It's gotta be the #1 game that's come out this year, unless Starfield can nudge it.
