Determined to complete Baldurs Gate 3 this weekend. I've been playing it since like April or something, so many hours, I dread to think of how many actually. I'm close but still have some pretty hefty battles remaining. Sweet game. Very rare I see these big open world rpgs to the end.

After 450+ hours, I did manage to finish it, completing all the side missions. Act 3 was BY FAR the most overwhelming part of the game.
Still need 5 achievements to unlock in order to 100% the game (including finishing it on Honour difficulty )

Ive never been a 100% kind of guy, especially for these kind of massive open world games. Don't you get bored and ready to move on around 200 hours? I was very happy to finish when I did. Still loved the game, but where do you find the time?

Act 3 was indeed too bloated, and I think the story and momentum suffered a bit too. Some amazing fights though, and loved in the city setting, so not bad by any means.

After the first ~150 hours of playing with my friends, we kind of stopped at Act 3 because everyone was overwhelmed.
I then took a four-month break, after which I just restarted the game from the beginning solo. Playing DnD on Sundays kept things interesting for me - without it, I'd probably get bored pretty fast.
As for finding time to play, I usually squeeze in around 4 hours after work - it adds up pretty quickly.
