All, I am a fairly newb with fantasy RPG games. I dropped Diablo 4 after 20 hours due to the grind/repetition. Can BG3 be played and understood by a novice?
Probably not by the sound of things. I think it’s a pretty hardcore game. Similar to souls games, but for the crpg genre. I’m looking forward to it myself.
Its easy to understand and pick up as its a self contained story. It also has difficulty levels to suit you so even that can be adjusted to fit your ability. I'm absolutely rubbish at strategy and I found it no problem on normal difficulty.
It's a fairly complex system, but it does do a pretty good job explaining how everything works. I honestly think it looks more comlicated than it really is. Takes a while to get used to, but once you do, it's infinitely better than Diablo 4 content wise (I played it too and dropped it too after some 20h xD).
I played Diablo 3 for 2 years, hundreds of hours. Thought I’d love Diablo 4 then came to the conclusion the story sucks, the quests suck, the loot sucks and it’s super grindey.
I’m a newb in Bg3 but I’m liking it a lot. Playing it in easy mode. I’ll get good at some point.
Diablo and starfield are basically the same game you’ve played before with a new coat of paint on it. Bg3 is on a different level.
The great thing is you can just up the difficulty mid-game if it starts feeling too easy, and there's no penalty. Also, in case you didn't know, since multiclass is locked out from easy, if you wanna multiclass: when you're about to do your level up selections change to normal, do your multiclass leveling, and then change back to easy.
Same here i No lifed diablo 3 pc,ps3,ps4 Bought it 3 diff times and puts 100s of hours in each... Diablo 4 is soo slow but what kills me is WHY IS THE CAM SOO ZOOMED IN U CANT EVEN SEE HALF THE TIME WTF IS HITTING YOU OFF SCREEN ITS ANNOYING AND IM NOTGONAN PLAY THAT.
I usually hate turn-based games and I usually hate CRPGs, but this game made me change my mind entirely. So I really recommend trying it. Just start on easy mode and if you feel its too easy, change it up
I'm 80 hours in on pc (a mxture of both single player and some multiplayer in a different "story"). I'm picking up the ps5 version to play with the wife in the living room with the big sound system. I fucking love this game. Never have a played an rpg with so many options. It's ridiculous. You can push people off cliffs!
Same boat here. Played 65 hours solo on Steam . Went to couch coop on PS5 with my wife. We are now 15hrs in on PS5 and couch coop makes this amazing game even better when you can share the adventure with a partner sitting next to you. Simply incredible, we are loving it together!
I have not played ranger but I'm playing in a group and one is a ranger, she enjoys it quite a bit. U get a pet that lvls ith u and adds armor as it lvls up which is cool. So eventually u have an armored bear.
Not sure I understand these points, controller play is not exclusive to the console version. I play BG3 with a controller on the PC, and my only mod is to allow to use the camera further, like a regular third person game, move it up and down and up close, etc.. (Native Camera Tweaks on nexus if you are interested).
I mean, it’s awesome anywhere you have the opportunity to play it. Thankfully it’s going to be available on all platforms and hasn’t been bought and locked behind a plastic box like some companies love to do.
Awesome to hear. Will pick it up tomorrow!
I’m playing it on PS5. Can’t compare it but it plays great. No complaints.

It runs great and looks great. I went with a Druid this time and I am having fun.
