A vast improvement over Divinity 2. I'm blown away by the quality of this game and I regret that I didn't pre-order it, or play during early access. BG3 is an amazing game and a work of art.

129 hours, 58 minutes late, I finished the game. I had to restart a few times, work around bugged quests that set me back hours at a time. 129 hours, 58 minutes is my time on one save. 129 hours, 58 minutes; all errors and reloads subtracted. 129 hours, 58 minutes that ended in a crescendo that's been unfelt since I played Mass Effect for the first time.

What a truly, truly fantastic game. Every musical note was soul-tugging. The attention to detail expanded to verbal components for spells, all translated in Latin. Every item, examinable with its own description.

I remade my first D&D character that I played on tabletop with three of my best friends, and I played her throughout the game, and every moment I felt, even in the absence of those friends and different TTRPGs that we now play together, I was transported back into 2018, and got to play my tiefling all over again.

This review will undoubtedly be lost in the leagues of others praising this game, even moreseo given how this is an updated review, but I hope a developer sees this; for all of the bugs that I experienced, for all the reloads I had to do, I enjoyed every moment of it. Save for rolling 1's.

Thank you, Larian. Your epic will live on in my mind until I die, and I cherish that.
