Anything particular that stands out for you? I'm itching to get my hands on Baldurs Gate 3.
I am really looking forward to Starfield, I am a sucker for everything space. I also really wanna try out BG3 but a bit intimidated as I have never played a CRPG.
It's very accessible compared to other cRPGs. D&D 5e was already designed to be beginner-friendly, and Larian just made it more beginner-friendly while also making one of the most open-ended games I can think of.
I've been enjoying BG3 quite a bit but I actually feel like DOS2 is more accessible as someone who has never played D&D. All the modifiers and weapon proficiencies and armor class things are really confusing to me as a noob. This complexity adds a ton of depth to the game but I feel like combat in DOS2 was more straightforward and I think I like it more.
Still haven't gotten out of act 1 in BG3 yet so my opinion may change as I get more familiar with it.
