It won GOTY at the TGAs along with a bunch of other awards.

Oops.

Oops.

A decent TGA ruined.

And bought.

Just remember one thing.

Grease is the best spell, allways.

I guess that's because it's the word.

It would be lovely to play a western RPG where you don't start off on some kind of prison vessel.

You start Skyrim on the way to being executed after presumably being in prison.
That's super different .

Question for those playing on PS5 or Xbox, did you have issues with selection on the radial menus? It seems very hit and miss whether an option is highlighted when you push in that direction. Almost as though the game expects you to push the stick further even on full travel.

On PS5, no.

Can't say I had any issues like that with the radial menu while playing through my Steam Deck or Steam Link with an Xbox controller.

I might have a tinker with the stick sensitivity settings on my controller app before adjusting the in game ones.

Small update = 18GB.

The last patch I downloaded on PC was about 130GB so 18 is small by comparison.

Told you so.

Baldur's Gate 3 will not be coming to Game Pass, even now the game is available on Xbox.

Speaking with IGN, Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke stated the award winning RPG won't appear on Microsoft's subscription service, and that has always been the plan.

Fair enough. Seeing as you made us wait for it, I’ll wait a bit longer until it’s under £15.

It’s scary just how right you were.

That’s insider knowledge for you.

I guess with the amount of copies sold (and still selling) there's no need to throw it into the Gamepass umbrella. They'd probably end up with a much smaller cut than selling the game by itself. A small percentage of people who refuse to pay for games individually isn't going to harm them.

The game has sold huge numbers and had pretty universal praise.
They'll be fine on Xbox.
I imagine they have enough money to fund the nect couple of projects by now.

For games like Baldur's Gate 3, does it even make sense to come to a service like Game Pass within the couple of years of launch anyway? I can see how it works well for some indie developers, or obviously ones Microsoft have bought already. We have also seen where games haven't done as well as the developer hoped come to the service sooner than you'd think as well with F1 Manager 23, but Baldur's gate 3 never had the impression to me that it'd come to the service anytime soon.

Watched several reviews, and...this just is not a game I'll be interested in, I can tell a mile off I won't like it. Divinity Original Sin 2 also reviewed very well and I could not get on with it at all.
