Demajen tries... | Baldur's Gate 3 (Early Access first impressions)
I played the Baldur's Gate games while at college and university (yes, I'm that old) but they weren't actually my favourite games by the guys at BioWare/Black Isle — that was, and remains, Planescape: Torment. Nevertheless, they form part of my history as a story-driven gamer, so naturally, I was excited by the prospect of Baldur's Gate 3.
I haven't played any of Larian's other games. Divinity: Original Sin 2 looks great and all, but CRPGs tend to be on the absolutely massive side and I've not felt I have time for that. But a new Baldur's Gate game... Nostalgia won me over.
So these are my first impressions of the Early Access release of BG3. Uncut and unedited, saying it exactly as I see it, as is my wont.
