Baldur's Gate 3 has blown away expectations and redefined what an RPG can be, and that may put Bethesda's upcoming Starfield in a rough spot.

I almost bought Baldurs Gate 3, but stopped when I realised I had DOS2 in my Steam library that I haven’t played.

So I’m going to be playing DOS2 for a bit, and when Starfield comes out I’ll buy BG3 at a reduced price, then when I’ve finished that I’ll buy Starfield at a reduced price

I was replaying DOS2 while I waited for BG3. It is a great game. The only thing I think it was missing was cinematics. The voice acting is great but it plays out with you looking down at your characters. I believe Larian knew this was a weak spot of their games and fixed it with BG3. Now their cinematics are fun to watch. It is now very entertaining to interact with these interesting NPCs.

I was playing DOS2 dwarven Beast as a fighter with a shield.

I wish BG3 had interaction between player characters in coop, I seem to remember DOS2 having that but it's been a while and I never finished it.

You are correct. Your friend could have the option to interject with their own sentence. Cool until you play with someone who immediately zones out when a cutscene is playing.
