Go figure, the game's getting reviewed-bombed on GOG for being full price in Early Access.

Well... it's fair to say BG3 has both better and worse hair than DA:I.

60k concurrent players on Steam. This is a buggy early access game.

And lots of people switched to GOG because Steam was suffering earlier today.

And sorry Hrungr those hair are better than DAI, all of them.

edit:

Watched the reviews, one fight took the player over 40 minutes to finish, not because it was so hard but due to the lack of real time option paired with the high number of enemies. My god this is ridiculously tedious, I'll give it a HARD pass and only consider buying it if they fix that.- Combat should be fun and NOT something I'm afraid of and run away of due to the looming boredom. Trying to mimic D&D tabletop 1:1 in a computer game does not work. 

And that comes from someone who played the trilogy nearly a dozen times and loved the battles against Firkraag, the Demogorgon, Mellisan, Watchers keep baddies and Irenicus. (Sarevok was too easy, couple explosive arrows and the fight was over:P )

Which is a shame, the rest looks incredible. 

Heard a lot of negativity around the game so far which is a bit worrying
