This game gives me the same vibes as Bioware games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, I was craving for something like this, without the microtransactions and gambling bullshit infesting most modern games.

I'm not fond of DnD mechanics but it's ok, it's worth it nonetheless, BG3 is truly spectacular.

It's a direct sequel to a bioware game.

Baldur's Gate 2.

Now I feel stupid lol, I didn't know Bioware did the first 2.

Old bioware was a force to be reckoned with
