It is a big commitment. I did not dilly-dally and am a veteran gamer. It took me 90 hours to finish a moderate play through. It's worth it but it did start to drag at the end. And that's just one ending.
I got roughly 100 hours in. I only played a few battles over, opened most of the maps, but didn't complete all the side quests. I got frustrated by the length at the end and simply

I'm half way through my 3rd run. What I really appreciate, is you can hit F5 anywhere to drop a save. So if something comes up, like the kids need your attention, no worries.
Even if you can only find an hour every few weeks, you can still progress.
Now if it's you don't have time because there are other things you absolutely need to focus on then I get you.
Yeah i just bought divinity 2 for 20 bucks and i do not find the time to play that either. Gonna get it in a sale a few years down the line when i have more free time and a tinier backlog.
A game selling as well as BG3 is currently the best sale you are ever going to get for a long time is the 10% off on the steam winter sale and I’d be surprised to see it go any lower for years at the least.
These are the kinds of comments that made me and my partner give in to extreme FOMO and buy full price. We regretted it, and so I think it's nice to supply an alternative opinion to those who may be suffering that same FOMO.
You can find BG3 for a little less than $55USD right now. I strongly feel that the effort, labor, care, and love that clearly went into it from the entire team is well worth that given just how remarkable the game actually is. Secondly, considering just how much of a middle finger the game is to the standard AAA battle pass/dlc nickel-and-diming that is common in the industry, I'm very happy to support Larian.
We should be enthusiastically supporting good game making, I think.
That being said, $55 is not nothing for what amounts to a luxury purchase and I completely understand not being in the position to nonchalantly drop that much on those kinds of purchases.
