It ended up being too long anyway
I think the pacing is just off once you get close to the end.
Once you get to Baldur’s Gate, the game is a slog. If I didn’t want to get the golden dice just so I could say that I got them, I probably wouldn’t’ve finished the game.
100 hours is too much for a game. Let’s say I can play it 1-2 hours a day 5 days a week (I usually have stuff to do on the weekend), it’d take me over two months to finish it! There are other games I want to play!
I did finish it, but only because I had to spend over a month at home using up PTO before leaving my previous job for my current one.
Counterpoint: 100 hours is not too much, but it could be too much for you. That’s fine, it’s very obvious from the type of game it is that it’s probably going to be 50+ hours long, and if you’re not playing right at release, you can check Howlongtobeat. I don’t think playing a game for two months is a mark against it, as long as I like the game.
A slog? Man, my experience was completely different. I was intentionally looking for more to do before I confronted the brain.
Some of the best “dungeons” are in act 3. House of Hope is my favorite sub-area in the entire game.
That was my experience on the first play through. My second and third though by the time you get to the city the game pretty much falls apart. Doesn’t help that it plays like ass during the entirety of act 3 too.
Act 2 and 3 should have been swapped. Would have flowed much better.
Seriously, a typical D&D session might last 6 hours and you accomplish nothing of note, but you have fun! Enjoyment should not be transactional with time.
I would’ve loved to see an expansion or two for the game to tie up some storylines
Didn’t they start working on one but cncelled because they were just not feeling it?
I believe they were “not feeling” continuing to work with Wizards of the Coast after WotC fired the people that were working with Larian
