I’m playing Baldur’s Gate 3 now on a Linux PC with a controller. I have a PS5 and have DOS on the PS4. Larian Studios does quality games and goes beyond what I expected in quality. The PS5 controller works great with the game.
Looking forward to trying this out as it’s a genre I haven’t really tried. But still not sure I get the reason to pre-order.

From what I’ve played of the early access, it’s a pretty amazing game. It’s a lot like the Divinity: OS games, or handles similar to Dragon Age: Origins or Shadowrun. It has a lot of flexibility in how you handle encounters and situations, and the combat is challenging but fun and rewarding. The dialogue is top tier, and rewards paying attention to what’s going on in the world around you.
Much like D&D, anytime you attempt something with a reasonable chance of failure the game rolls for you, and your skills or the things you’ve said/done affect the rolls with modifiers. There’s a lot of exploration across unique locales with a lot of verticality to the environments, and a lot of secrets tucked away. All the side quests play back into the main quest in a satisfying way, and it almost never feels like you’re wasting your time doing something.
Thanks for these details. Does it have an easy mode though? I’m too old to be grinding or trying over and over again.
