Larian’s Swen Vincke posted a tweet yesterday showing the game hitting 500,000 concurrent players, making it the third most played game on all of Steam He said that he told IT to only expect 100,000 concurrents at max.
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
