[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7930571, member: 6796661"] I wasn't excited about, or planning to get, this game but I'm changing my mind. I went a long period of my live not playing TTRPGs or CRPGs, basically missing most of the 90s, 2000s, and the first half of the 2010s. When I got back into gaming, I started with The Quest on iOS which I enjoyed. I loved Skyrim and the Witcher games. I then started playing Planescape:Torment, but lot interest. I liked the story but disliked the game play. I also tried the original Balders Gate and lots interest even sooner. Managing a group of characters by pausing constantly was a slow. The first multi-character CPRG I enjoyed was Saga on iOS and Switch and the turn-based game play was a big part of the appeal. Having a top-tier, lore-rich, and beautiful game that is turn based AND based on 5e mechanics, sounds great to me. I really wish I didn't have to play it on a computer though. I would much prefer to have it on a console, esp. Switch. But I'd buy and XBOX or Playstation if it were released on it. It may upset some fans of the prior Baldurs Gate games, but it it fills an underserved niche and I'll bet that it will do very well. [/QUOTE]
