I haven't played any Baldur's Gate games before but I've heard so much about this game that I'm going to buy it.

However, before I start, I always wonder about this: some games allow you to unlock any weapon at some point in the game, and if you miss one in some quest you can always go back. If you accidentally sell one you can buy it back or forge a new one again, or have it respawn. If you want some other class you can switch later.

Other games are not like that, and if you screw up or aren't aware of [full in the blank] then you can't unlock something.

What's the story with BG3? Do I need to be careful and plan before going on missions?

I think the Divinity games are great and very well crafted. But Larian went to the next level by adding these awesome cinematics to the game in Baldur's Gate 3 that were missing in the Divinity game. I remember playing Divinity 2 and there would be this great voice acted scene with a lot of weight, but you would be looking down on your character and other actors. Larian fixed this with fantastic cinematics that let you see the faces and emotion of the scene. Just awesome work.

I wholeheartedly agree.
