Played it all day yesterday. It still has some bugs and if you play co-op you should do it in a separate save file because you can’t ever remove your offline friends’ characters from your party, but at a mechanical level, the game is a masterpiece.
It’s D&D 5e translated with extreme loving detail into a video game. Conversation is nearly as engaging as combat and many of the NPCs have massive dialogue trees, all fully voiced. You can switch between using a controller to directly control your character or using the traditional keyboard and mouse controls like the older Baldurs Gate games.
Hells, the character creator is probably worthy of an award by itself
I’m now 38 hours in and my opinions are basically the same, though I will add that I love how fast they’ve been patching it. If Larian ever release DLC or expansions for this game I’d expect them to be the best goddamned expansions I’ve seen in at least the last 10 years.
I’m really hoping it’s reasonably moddable because I’ve little doubt the community would love to mod entire custom campaigns into this engine.
Long story short: I am absolutely inexperienced with Linux distros but made the switch from Windows a bit more than a year ago. Right now, everyone’s talking about Baldur’s Gate 3, including a lot of the podcasts and shows I follow: since I never experienced the OG games, I wanted to try them out. They were on sale on GOG,...
I switched from using Lutris to using Heroic for my GoG/Epic games. Works perfectly for me. When in doubt, Heroic with the latest Proton-GE plays basically any Windows game, and for GoG it handles the native Linux download/install way more consistently than Lutris and its pile of crowdsourced scripts.
Linux with 6.1 kernel and Kisask-Mesa drivers on an RX 6700XT: Vulkan works better with fewer crashes/glitches for me. Also seems to load a little faster, but that could just be because I’ve used it more so there’s more cached shaders.

I tried playing the two original Baldur's Gate games on Ubuntu. It's hell.
