C'mon....someone tell us their initial impressions!! I'm afraid to click the "buy" button, but I wanna!

^I did already, installed and optimized it

I'm hearing that there are quite a few bugs but Larian should be squashing them pretty quickly

This game delivers on the junk customization.  That's for sure!

In all seriousness, game is absolutely excellent.  I'm early on but this already feels like one of the best CRPGs I've ever played, and it really nails the wacky antics you can get into in a DND session (though you can play the game more seriously as well)

Won't be able to really play until the weekend, but I did see they excluded the ability to multi-class (allowing for more than one class on your character) from the exploratory difficulty setting, which is the easiest mode.  In these games I typically play the easiest because I am just not great at them, plus hearing BG3 can be difficult on the other modes.  Not sure if this is a big deal or not, but just a shame when features are removed under certain conditions or hidden behind unlocks.

^Thanks for posting that. I've had my ass kicked in Larian's Divinity games, so maybe I should take heed of what you posted and go for the 'exploratory' setting.

A strong bet that I will be playing on that mode:)  But before I start, I want to do more research on how much I would miss by not having multi-classes as an option and whether there are any other limitations besides being easier.

I don't think I have played anything on the easiest mode just out of sheer shame

Someone posted on the main Larian forums (which my account has been deactivated, not sure why) that you can switch between difficulty settings so you can multi class on the easier level. Sorry, that's vague, but since I can't log onto their forums that's the best I can do.

Great if you can, but would need to find the details as I haven't come across it yet.  Appreciate the heads up.

Also, it looks like the Larian website is pretty taxed so a lot of people cannot log onto their forums (hence the account deactivated message)

Resistance was futile.  Downloading now.

Yea, I'm not sure why I'm holding off buying this. It's not going to be discounted for many many months and while there are some bugs/performance issues, I'm not sure they are game breaking. Something just nagging me about buying it right now
