BG3’s next and final big patch should be out in a few months, which adds a bunch of new subclasses and story stuff. Might be a nice time to get into it.
It’s really worth checking out though! It was the highest-rated (ever) video game at several review sites, and it’s one of those really rare once-in-a-generation games that lurches the industry forward and totally resets expectations for what is possible in a game. The writing is 3x longer than Lord of the Rings and the cut scenes are longer than the entire Game of Thrones series.. There are so many different choices and sub endings that players are still not sure they’ve all been discovered and have had to resort to data mining the game’s files to try to find the others.
Anyway, we have an entire other thread about it: Baldur's Gate 3! {finally Released August 3rd, 2023}
The 1500+ posts there can you help decide if you want to play it, lol
