Bought it last night on Steam to get the Digital Deluxe Edition bundled in the Early Access price.
It looks incredible.
My only concerns are moving the ability score points from races into just class choices might mean humans are left underpowered? I haven't seen how the new D&D5e handles this though.
Also how alignment is handled, because the original Baldur's Gate was awful for playing an Evil party. And that also meant a Paladin never faced any real hard decisions or trade-offs to keep their vows, etc.
How is it with a controller? Is it similar to Diablo IV at all? Never really played any of them but want to get into one (or both, funds/time allowing).
I played early access for a while. There's no controller support yet, but I'm hoping the August release has it enabled already. Supposedly it was implemented well in DoS2 so I'm hopeful it will be just as good in BG3. Currently though, I got a little exasperated with the UI in early access. There were some keyboard and mouse options that were super tedious to try to do with my steam deck (right click and select multiples was a pain, canceling battle actions...) Nevertheless, I found the gameplay to be sterling if I didn't consider my limitations at the time of trying to use a controller and read the tiny print.
