So I'm new-ish to cRPG's. I played the first four-ish hours of Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access.

... and I think I'm going to be very hooked.

Spoilers for being 4ish hours into early access..

Spoilers for being 4ish hours into early access..
It reminds me of the Anakain meme. I found the druid caged disguise as a bear and I killed all the goblins...
Not what I QUITE wanted, but once I found the druid he insisted his bear form what trigger combat with most goblins

And I'm fine with that. I'm trying to lean into the emergent story telling of the game and accept my choice as they roll and as they come.

I want to hear your thoughts on early access. Is it what you thought the game would be? For cRPG veterans, is it going to live up to meet your expectations for what one should be? Care to share your outcomes for the situation I engaged with (spoilered of course for players who want to go in completely fresh)? I've not played 5e, what do you think of the adaptation? And any other thoughts you have in that old noggin?

to clarify the "new-ish to cRPG's", I've played the opening hours to a handful of them including Pillars of Eternity, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Mechajammer, Disco Elysium and Encased. I liked them all, but I have trouble committing although I did complete Disco Elysium and LOVE and ADORE it. I will return one day including games like that Fallout 1/2, Planescape: Torment, and others on my list.

Love and candy to you all
