    Played it all day yesterday. It still has some bugs and if you play co-op you should do it in a separate save file because you can’t ever remove your offline friends’ characters from your party, but at a mechanical level, the game is a masterpiece.

    It’s D&D 5e translated with extreme loving detail into a video game. Conversation is nearly as engaging as combat and many of the NPCs have massive dialogue trees, all fully voiced. You can switch between using a controller to directly control your character or using the traditional keyboard and mouse controls like the older Baldurs Gate games.

    Hells, the character creator is probably worthy of an award by itself

      I feel like the character creator doesn’t have enough visual options, but I do agree with you either way. I don’t play dnd (have some friends who do) but the amount of customization over what your character can do is extremely cool.
