I had pre ordered Balders Gate 3 when it was first offered for sale to support Larian making the game as I was a big fan of BG1 and BG2 from years ago.
Between life and other reasons as I usually wait a while before I play a new release to let them fix all the quirks and bugs along with getting any gameplay and balance issues sorted out through updates before I do my initial playthrough.
Well finally just getting going, did my character creation as a Evocation Wizard based on a Githyanki race build as the attributes of the race add armor and weapons proficiencies to the wizard build.
Been a long time since I played a game such as this but as an older gamer I enjoy the ability to go at a slower pace and really spend time exploring the world and even planning out the turn based combat.
I am in no hurry to finish the game and expect I will do a number of different playthroughs with different character builds and party composition.
