While Baldur's Gate 3 is being widely celebrated by fans and developers alike, some are panicking that this could set new expectations from fans. Good.

For what it's worth, I thought it'd be horrible from the reviews and ended up trying it anyway, and I actually really enjoyed it. shrug Rather feels like I played a different game than everyone else.

I'm sure it's partly the difference between starting with rock bottom expectations vs starting with Prey/Dishonored expectations, but I think even without that I'd like it.

Also, it has no micro transactions! Zero. Not even for cosmetics - those are just unlockables. Credit where credit is due.

Anyway if you liked the look of the trailer and you have gamepass, it's worth at least trying, imo.
