Man, this really was the GOTY. I mean, I didn't play anything from 2023 other than WoW SoD, but that point still stands. It was amazing!
I must admit that it's the first time I play a game of this genre, but it was so good. The characters, the freedom of choice, the combat, the story were all very nice. Of course, some parts were bullshit like the Gondians quest, and there's a couple of bugs here and there, but that doesn't take away too much considering the rest of it.
Party was Dark Urge, Shadowheart, Astarion and Karlach; went for a good alignment experience. And man, good Dark Urge, Shadowheart and Astarion really resonated within me, I love them. When DU rejects Bhaal and Withers (who I assume can't be anyone other than Jergal himself or an avatar at least) resurrects him free from Bhaal's influence, that's when I thought "this is peak fiction". Perhaps I would've enjoyed the story and the world a bit more if I had played BG1 and 2, as I didn't bother on keeping Jaheira alive or meeting Minsc.
Also, this game was very special for me because back in highschool I used to play on solo DnD campaigns with an old friend, who was the game master. Brought back some very nice memories.
Perhaps in 1 or 2 years (if I still have the time) I'll consider playing the evil path.
