I am comfortable assuming that we can ignore anyone who posts on X for any reason other than, like, their contract with whatever studio they’re working for includes a clause about promoting the product.

@Vulgar-Boy lol to say nothing about how Twitter was losing it’s mind over how good Final Fantasy XVI is barely a month ago.
Most users on Twitter have the memory and attention span of a ADHD cocker spaniel.

My experience with this game so far is “JFC, this is still downloading?”, because my Comcast is garbage.
Hopefully I will have more to say soon!
-
Taking Karlach into the Goblin Camp and start literally throwing Goblins around and across the battle map has been the most hilarious, but wholly accurate DnD thing I’ve ever done in this game so far.
10/10 GOTY

First I tried a bard. Then the Dark Urge. Then a paladin. Now a sorcerer. Think I’m sticking with the sorc.
-
I have tried 9 times so far to enjoy a character enough to make it past the first battle once the main character reaches land.
I am supposed to be playing in a group of regular PC gaming friends, but they haven’t been able to purchase BG3 yet, so I’m just spinning my wheels searching for a character concept I want to stick with for my first full playthrough.

You all need to see this video.

I finally settled on bard/warlock because somebody sold their soul for rock n’ roll.
(No idea why I said Sorc. Must be high).
-
I was looking through some of the hotfix notes in the game being patched, and I came across this gem that gave me a chuckle. In a week where things have been utterly terrible for me lately, this made it a little less bad.
-
I love this game. I love this game so much. I haven’t fallen for a game this hard since playing the original Baldur’s Gate 3 in 1999, and my play time on BG3 is swiftly approaching my total playtime for Crusader Kings III, which I’ve had for almost three years.
My current playthrough is a Seldarine Drow rogue and I pretty much squeal at every cut scene. The animations on the facial expressions are nuanced and perfect, which adds so much to the dialog when it comes to the heavy hitting conversations.
-
@Aria I put off buying it because I didn’t think it would be that good and I didn’t see how a D&D game could be as fun as tabletop, where you have flexibility in what you do. TBH, in some ways, the game is MORE flexible than tabletop and the choices they’ve made to balance mechanics and make tweaks are all pretty good.
Mostly.
Except for making hypnotic pattern last only two turns EXCUSE ME THAT IS BULLSHIT LET ME ENTHRALL THE ENTIRE BATTLEFIELD.
I just hit Act III last night, and some of the nuance and branching character conversations just fucking leave me sitting there surprised as HELL that they took the time to flesh things out this deeply down the tree in such different ways.
-
i can’t get past act I because i keep changing my character/class.
-
also hot take, but playing this game with friends is kind of butt. much funner as a solo game. idk who sold this as a multiplayer game but it’s just not-- fun that way.

Huh. I didn’t even realize BG3 had a multiplayer mode. I’ll need to read up on it.
-
I really want to like this game. And I was but my computer is old and grinding to a halt every time the screen changes suck the fun out of it
-
I have really enjoyed taking my group of disaster bisexuals through the Realms. It’s making me feel very seen. I’m a wood half-elf paladin oathbreaker.
-
Save #1: “Dragonborn” Monk named Quick Hans. He’s totally not a dragon, just a normal guy being a dude. Doing guy stuff. Leaning into the worm. All praise the worm.
Save #2: Githyanki Oathbreaker Paladin called Trev. He’s interesting as there’s a lot more early game dialogue about mind flayers, being a Githyanki.
-
I made a tiefling bard modeled after my favorite Dimension 20 character lol I really want to play more sooooo badly but I started this new job and it’s in the actual office so now I can’t spend all day gaming

Yeah, even with my relatively new-ish computer, I don’t think it could handle this game.
