Seen so many people playing this. It does look really good. Pretty impressive how widespread the hype is for this despite the style of game it is!

Agreed. The RPG elements are fun, but I can see people hating the turn-based combat and puzzles. Being DND-based, there's great stories and lore.

Are there more puzzles than regular games of this genre which could put people off or do you think less so? There's a lot of people playing who don't normally play DND style games.

Most of the puzzles are easily solved or a Google search away. Some fights require more strategy (like Moonrise Tower).

A lot of recent games only provide about 20-30 hrs of playtime, BG3 gives a lot more. Most of the difficulty can be lessened by settings or doing sidequests.
