Almost all of my original criticisms in my initial launch review have been addressed in some way. And while I still have a couple of minor nitpicky things, BG3 kind of really is a CRPG for the ages now.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a must play that pushes the genre forward and will almost certainly be remembered as The Benchmark to which other crpgs are compared

It feels so much like Dungeons and Dragons in a modern game and honestly I'm a huge fan of that part of it.
