Baldur’s Gate 3 has blown away expectations and redefined what an RPG can be, and that may put Bethesda’s upcoming Starfield in a rough spot.

    It is odd, but I suspect it shifts peoples expectations slightly even if they don’t think about it. Also people might not be willing to spend $60 two months in a row so Baldur’s Gate could be dipping into some of Starfields potential earnings here.

      And Starfield is not coming to the PS5. So, the choice has be removed for the people who only have a PS5 to game on.

        BG3 is. It will be better than Starfield if you like to be treated like an adult. Starfield will be better if you want them to hold your hand but make sure you don’t do anything “wrong” that could “hurt your experience.”
