Deepest RPG I've ever played, both in terms of gameplay and narrative. I've seen conversations play out four or five completely different ways that actually result in lasting effects on the game. Almost every single dialogue encounter can be handled in a few different ways. Outside of dialogue, gameplay is 1:1 D&D. It's the full pen & paper experience, minus all the annoying and time consuming aspects of the pen & paper experience. It's actually remarkable how much freedom you have in every encounter. It's a sandbox game in the world of D&D with incredibly rich writing and NPCs, and seemingly hundreds of hours of voice acting. This is GOTY, hands down. One of the best RPGs I've ever played. Congratulations, Larian. You've made a legendary game.

EDIT: Finally finished the game. This is one of the greatest games ever made. A genuine masterpiece. Final time on my last save was 180 hours, 80 of which were in Act 3 alone.
