Buy BG3 or wait till the whole game comes out?

That's a difficult question to answer since it relies on your opinion only. Do you want to play the game in an unfinished state or do you want to wait until they complete it?

If you want to think of it as a pre-order then that might make the decision easier, you pre-order the game and you get to play the beta.

Or you don't and wait for the completed product.

Only you can decide in the end, it's your money.

I'm kinda leaning more towards waiting until the game is complete.

One other thing....is it a good game?

As long as that's what you really want then by all means. That depends on what you want out of it.
If you wait until they have finished it then you will have a much clearer picture.

I think that would probably be the best thing to do. Wait and see.

Different strokes for different folks. :)

What do you mean?

I mean what means "good" for someone might not be "good" for others. So it all depends on your taste in games. What you like and what you dislike.

That's why I asked. Does it seem to be a decent game or not?

The trailer, cinematics, and a lot of features look attractive. And Larian is famous to have good writers.
They are also famous to release their game in an ... unfiished state. But on the other hand they do fix things over a reasonable amount of time, and way before they release the next installment in the franchise.

The mechnaics also look fine, though in a gampelay teaser the rolls demanded looked a bit high, but who knows.

As for what the game actualy is, how it plays, I suggest to wait until some let's play videos come out, so you can get a better grasp.
For the moment though, no major complaints arised, so that's a very good sign. If the game would have some major flows, we'd heared about it by now.

I suggest you wait a month or so, seeing your hesitation. Then you'll have reviews on complexity, and definitely let's plays to at least midgame.

Thanks, appreciate your input.
Huh??

I'm 20 hours into the game. I encountered only one quest that I couldn't complete. Game is in a pretty polished state. It takes a while to get used to it. It is very well written. Personally, I love it. However, I wouldn't expect anyone to spend 60 euro just because I said so. I didn't play any Larian games in the past, but I played other RPGs and I played and finished the original Baldur's Gate games.

Some people were worried that, being made by Larian, this game will have a "too happy" tone to it. Or that they may just go the oposite site and make it dark and gritty just because it's cool and for no particular reason tied to the story. I think it is not the case. Larian nailed it. I thought it would be very hard to make a proper Baldur's Gate game, with atmosphere, exploration, characters, and everything that else about the game world that made the Baldur's Gate games so good. I think they actually succeed to reach that high bar.

However, I may be thinking it this way because I didn't really expect it of them. It may not seem so in the beginning, when you're surrounded by stuff way too powerful for level 1 characters, but those thing are there just to set the story. To those that expected a start similar to BG1, where you start in Candlekeep and you're doing chores and killing rats and curing cows and whatnot... this is not exactly it. You're not going to fight things that are over your level, combat encounters are the usual for a low level party, but the intro is somewhat spectacular. I understand if some people who loved BG1 would not like that. I'm ok with it, but I'm just saying, in case you buy it, to know what to expect of it.

It's a song. :D

boring thread so I just thought it needs a little lighting up... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGIFublvDes
