I never played DnD even though we planned to start a group but you know how it is. So far we had three sessions of BG3 and it's a bit chaotic. Different people starting dialogues at the same time, people starting dialogues and no one else is noticing it stuff like that. I enjoy to play just one character and learning it's abilities inside-out but the level of control I have in single player suits me more. That is, if the npcs aren't too stupid to follow me again.

About OT: I'm 12 hours into the co-op campaign and 55 hours into my solo campaign. So far I had some issues where quest markers didn't vanish after the quest was finished, some quest log entries didn't get set to "done" once the quest was finished and at one point a item I needed to progress wasn't where it's supposed to be. Most of the things could be fixed by just reloading or restarting the game. Same goes for HUD Infos that I am silenced, even though I'm not even in combat anymore. Once reloaded it was gone. Sometimes the camera does weird stuff which can make it tricky to go where you want to go, especially if there are multiple floors in a building. All in all it just needs some polishing. Story wise I was just at a point where I thought I really understand what's going on just for the story to broaden so widely that it would've been enough content for three games. Even the companion quests are well written, interesting and unique. Sometimes even intertwined with each other.
