What is up with Baldur's Gate 3? (beehaw.org)

This is not a criticism - I love how much attention this game has been getting. I'm just not understanding why BG3 has been blowing up so much. It seems like BG3 is getting more attention than all of Larian's previous games combined (and maybe all of Obsidian's recent crpgs as well). Traditionally crpgs have not lit the world on fire in this way. Is it just timing of the release? Is it a combo of Divinity fans and new D&D fans and Baldur's Gate oldheads all being stoked about this release for their own reasons? Or something else?

Note:I have not played it yet myself, just curious what folks think?

Buy it on gog, head into town and download the installer to a usb stick.

Gonna need a fast connection in town or plenty of time. The GOG install is 108GB.

Yep, probably a good two hours on a coffee shop wifi. Be sure to drink lots of coffee and leave a nice tip!

Not to mention it's in 28 parts if you're downloading the standalone installer and not using Galaxy.

What's gog? I was hoping for it on PS5, don't have a powerful enough computer I imagine. Just a 10 year old laptop.

PCMR knows what GoG is, console users don't need to know.

Have fun on ps5 when it releases!
