When even indies is chasing trends and easy money nowdays, best recipe for a great video game is an studio working in a passion project, a project in which most team members believes. Thats the case of last GOTYs, for example: Sekiro, TLOU2, Elden Ring, Astro... Probably KC2... And BG3 is the best example of this philosophy.

I'm just not a turn based game type player. I did play the very beginning which was fun though. Hmmmmm.

I wasn't either before playing this. I'm still not, but I will say that it was a fun experience nonetheless. I wasn't familiar with DnD or CRPG's, so I found the learning curve to be kind of steep.

And what would you say now? Would you be open to play some best in class CRPGs, but not so cinematics, but the same heavy hitting from gameplay perspective?

There are mods which turn the combat into real-time with pause, like Dragon Age. I don't know if they are available on Xbox or PS5, but they're definitely available for PC.
Real Time Combat
Complete Real Time Combat system, with a QuickCast hotbar, smart AI behavior, and a Mana ball system. Seamless transitions between turn based and real time combat.

Yeah I'm more open to it. I went back and played some CRPG's I tried when I was younger that I ended up not liking due to the gameplay. My experience with BG3 gave me new perspective, and I ended up enjoying them quite a bit.

yeah fuck no, it took me almost 1 year to complete Wasteland 3, the last cRPG I played.
I have maybe 4-5 hours a week if I am lucky.

I think in 'the making of' documentary on Larian, one of the videos Sven mentionned that the staff each get the option of shares in the comapny, so yeah, I think they will be well looked after financially.

Yes, the camera mods are mandatory imo. I often play the game in first person and the controller implementation is also great.

Yeah, I even spend money to the camera mod guy. Such an awesome mod.

The fact that this feature wasn't in from the start and that the beard guy has still got a job at MS is the biggest mystery for me.I thought the Series S couldn't handle split screen

That article made me laugh. It's self defeating because they criticize gamers for beautifying women via mods, but isn't their whole concept that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it's all kind of subjective and relative? The author implied that more women in games should have armpit hair etc, but isn't that just their preference? So by that logic, if some gamers prefer beautifying video game women, don't they have the freedom to mod that in?I was bored today and decided to give it a spin.

How is the game on PS5 (Pro) at this point?

How do you achieve first person ? max zoom with zoom limit increased ?
RickSanchez

Yo
I personally use the "Brawl" mod. Real-time combat in BG3 can get very frantic and overwhelming, so i toggle it on/off for select encounters.
The WASD and Camera mods are absolutely essential and i cannot play without them.
There are several other QoL and cheat mods on Nexus which make the game even more fun to play. I would say, if you're planning to start a new playthrough because of patch 8, then wait approximately 1 more week for all these mods to get updated to support patch 8.

Basically, the camera is positioned just above the character's head. You can fiddle around with the config to your liking on that.
Not the perfect solution as you will see the character occasionally (if you're looking down) but it serves the purpose well enough.

aah yes, i saw something like that on a Nexus post, and i even tried it, but that slight vertical shift above the character's head was enough to put me off. I still use the camera mod in normal third person mode. And i have actually shifted the camera slightly to the character's right, to give it the 'over-the-shoulder' perspective that other games have.

The game is really special, but dear God - the combat is snooze-fest. This game really should've had an active pause.
