Baldurs Gate 3 is a Masterpiece and I am only 6 hours in

I have been looking forward to Baldurs gate 3 since it was announced. A combination of Dungeons and Dragons and Divinity Original Sins 2 seemed like a winning combination and it is. Four of us have been playing a new campaign and two sessions in, we have already come to the understanding that there is so much customizability in narrative where different characters can opt to resolve an issue in a wide multitude of ways.

The most interesting story so far is we came upon a spider boss, a giant spider with underlings. It looked like we were going to lose and that we would end up as lunch for the beast. All of a sudden the monky in my party pushed the thing off a precipace on the cliff into what seemed like an unending cavern. While it appeared we had won, we didn't get any experience for killing the thing. The rogue in the party asked if I could pause it because he wanted to try something. He then jumped off the precipace also and fell to his death. However, when landing on the ground, he noticed he fell next to the spider. I then suggested we should use feather fall so that we could gently land next to the body and after a quick restart we did just that. After looting the body, we were set upon by giant scary minotaurs who killed us all. Thats how we ended the last session of the game and I am beyond excited to see what is in store for our party next!!!
