It’s been one week since you looked at me Baldur’s Gate was released. How are you enjoying the game? What are your general thoughts, impressions, and complaints? Has the game lived up to the hype for you?

    I love it and am losing sleep to play. I think I’m mid act 2, but who knows; you go a little and then a whole new area opens up for you. I have run into more bugs in the second act than the first. I had an undead bug out, T Pose, and unload a ton of textures whenever it was his turn in combat, which was fun. I also had a fight where the game triggered my Polearm Master when I moved into range of enemies with Halbreds, but if I used it, they’d hit me. Which meant they didn’t use that for the whole fight once I figured out I could just say no. Enemies also took actions while it was my turn and I couldn’t end my turn in that fight, so it was kinda borked. Might be because I joined from timed mode to haste people up.

    Regardless, I’m going to sing the praises of this game and hope I don’t hit a game breaking bug. I have the same gripes about camp inventory and party management, but ideally that gets fixed or modded soon.

    I’m like 60 hours in and can’t wait for a second run. I’m a goody two shoes this run, gotta get some evil durge in the next. And being able to respec your party means I can have a fresh set of combat mechanics next time no matter who I take.

      Ah I had that same Polearm Master big and figured I was just overlooking some some of enemy reaction.
