I never heard of Baldur’s Gate, but the other day someone on lemmy recommended this playthrough of the game that was just released. I watched it and it’s different from Skyrim etc, in that it has a way deeper story and is played slower. It’s a bit like DnD apparently, which I don’t know much about either.

Anyways, full recommendation!

    Yeah, like the other comment said, it is literally virtual D&D, not like D&D. Watching a playthrough won’t even give you a fraction of the experience as it is very dependent on how you specifically want to solve problems so if you’re able to, I’d recommend holding off until you buy it.

    I’m 10 hours into my first playthrough and still haven’t finished Act 1.

    It’s glorious to be able to do so much wandering and just enjoy this rich, rich world Larian has built.

      I’m 24 hours in and I didn’t even know there were acts lol, but I assume I’m also on act 1. I’ve pretty much only done side missions.
