I played Starfield for around 150 hours. I went from that game to BG3. So far, I enjoyed Starfield more, but the games are so different they're hard to compare.
Starfield was much more "turn off brain, sneak around, fight bandits" with story bits in between. I often didn't have to put any thought into encounters if I didn't want to. Mainly because it's a Bethesda game, and I've played several before.
BG3 is slower, more methodical, with way more (and obviously better) story.
Starfield was more like comfort food, where BG3 is more like fine dining. Both great in different ways.
Bethesda is the McDonalds of RPG games.
Rpg means collecting garbage to sell it for hours, right?
Looks at massive amount of stuff in my characters inventory in New Vegas and Baldur Gate 3.
Maybe.
I haven't played Baldurs gate yet, is it a trinket game as well?
I’d say so, mostly like weapons, armor, potions, scrolls is what you’ll have in your inventories. Those and other small trinkets, you can just sell at vendors.
Also you, and I can not stress this enough, NEED to get Balders Gate 3.
@MindSkipperBro12 @BruceTwarzen Unless you are also into tabletop gaming, in which case you may not want to provide more financial support to Wizards of the Coast. It isn't too difficult to find info on what they have been up to over the last year. If you don't care about their impact on that particular side of gaming, then support away.
Personally, I don't plan on ever owning/playing BG3.
I'm thankful that I bought BG3 when early access released, and WotC hadn't shit the bed yet. It would have been a bitter pill to see such a great game release and know that I would have to actively give them money after they had been so anti consumer.
I've boycotted WotC since the start of the year; been playing Pathfinder and have no intention of giving them any more money!
