You just can’t get away from Baldur’s Gate 3? The community has only one solution – and it’s quite drastic.
Almost a year has passed since the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 and the RPG is still one of the big hits on Steam. This is quite unusual for an RPG, as typically these games disappear back into obscurity after a hype.
But Baldur’s Gate 3 is still thrilling hundreds of thousands. One of the reasons: After Baldur’s Gate 3, no other game is really as much fun.
What was said? In the Subreddit of Baldur’s Gate 3, “Mountain-Mall3840” writes that the game has ruined other games for him:
Baldur’s Gate is such an extraordinary game, after having played it multiple times now. When I try to get into other games, they just feel pale in comparison. […]
Since then, I have had trouble enjoying other games. I really wanted to check out Skyrim again, but it just felt… like something was missing. Every game I play doesn’t captivate me like [BG3] does. It’s an honest problem; I can’t enjoy other games as much after playing perfection. […] I think to myself every time: “Baldur’s Gate 3 did that better.”
This is what the community says: Under the post, there are some tips on how to get rid of the “problem.” The most absurd yet at the same time logical answer comes from “SmartAlec13,” who advises: Just play more Baldur’s Gate 3. He writes:
Just play too much Baldur’s Gate 3 and at some point, other games will become enjoyable again. For me, it was that I failed at one Honour run after another until I was finally able to find my next game. […]
But you are not wrong. I feel sorry for my fiancée and her best friend; this is the first RPG they really liked, and now they can’t find anything else that is as good.
Or in short: Just play so much Baldur’s Gate 3 until you can’t see it anymore.
Also, domiwren seems to have some problems with or thanks to Baldur’s Gate 3:
After playing Baldur’s Gate 3, I bought some other games (Witcher, Skyrim, Dragon Age…) to find out what other gamers have been playing, but I just couldn’t… get over it. They just couldn’t offer me the experience that BG3 gave me (Skyrim might come close if I figure out how to mod it). This game is all I can think about, and I know that will last for years (or decades…)
Have you had a similar experience with Baldur’s Gate 3? Or did the RPG not grab you as much as it did so many others? We reached a very similar conclusion at MeinMMO a few months ago, which you can read about in the article “Baldur’s Gate 3 has ruined all other games for me”.
