I don’t know anything about this game or it’s predecessors. Is it just a fantasy RPG or what’s the hype all about? How is it different from other fantasy RPGs?

    I’ve never played tabletop D&D but I like the idea of it. Is this a game I can just play solo or does it require a party of actual people?

    I’ve played my fair share of PC RPGs (BioWare games, Fallout,…) but never something like this. Is there anything that compares to it? I can imagine it’s a slow pace kind of game?

      The two previous games from the same developer - Divinity: Original Sin 1&2 - compares directly to it. Baldur’s Gate 3 is essentially Divinity Original Sin 3 (but this time we have the D&D IP rights).

      It’s a slower paced game with tactical, turn-based combat.

      There is co-op, but the game works just fine solo.

        I think your last sentence needs swapped. It’s a solo game that can be played co-op IF you want. Definitely a solo game first and foremost though.

      Pathfinder Kingmaker & WotR, Solasta, Pillars of Eternity, and Planescape Torment to name a few. Nevermind the fact that BG1 and BG2 are also some of the best ever produced in the genre. Oh, and Larian has their own finger on the landscape with Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2, the games which got them the license.
