I've finally cleaned up enough space on my 250GB SSD to download BG3. I've tried Divinity 2 before, but bounced off it for some reason. Still, people are raving about this one and I think Illithids are cool, so I decided to give it a try.

Still there are so many options. Generally I like X-com, so which classes are interesting mechanically from the "tactical" perspective? Also there are backgrounds of some sort. Which of them make the game more fun and which are the opposite?

Honesty not sure how to approach this big-ass game...

if you want a Tav that isn't a blank slate, go with Dark Urge background; it is edgy but the story is interwoven with the rest of the game's narrative vs a normal default Tav just kinda standing there smiling.

Pick whatever race/class combo seems cool; Wizards have access to a lot of different types of magic so they come with a high level of complexity, but other classes like Way of Shadows Monk can be OP as shit if you abuse stealth and teleport mechanics.

Dialog is a bit more impactful so make sure you're saying what you wanna say because you might not be able to take it back. There are a lot of ways through the plot.

But yeah pretty much just do what clayh said.
