Finally picked up BG3 this week and I can say that I haven't done much of anything else LOL.

Who are you all romancing or trying to? 🤣

Game made by and for Redditor millennials who say "doggo". Not funny. Did not laugh. Impressive on the technical level, though.

I think FedEx just delivered a package with the physical version of BG3. Looking forward to getting home and checking it out!

I'm nearing the end of this gargantuant game as I have defeated Raphael (though I should have made him dance while he was singing, but my character forgot to use it instead of Chain Lightning) as the final thing to do before the final boss. I will say this: Baldur's Gate 3 is a really, really good game that I not entirely fawning over it. I'm on a teeter totter of liking and loving this game. Maybe because this kind of turn-based combat isn't my favorite type of gameplay. Feeling very slow paced with no way to make things go by faster. Though I am really enjoying myself as an incantation wizard. This feels even worse when there are so many characters in combat. Maybe it's because I wanted more mechanical moments as fun as the House of Hope, Gortash's Iron Throne and Gortash's fight being my second favorite fight in thr game. Maybe it's because my favorite moments were backhanded into Act 3 and Act 1 feels kinda like a blur to me due to how meandering it felt. Act 2 was more consistent though with such a really nice crescendo. Maybe it's because the writing is not my favorite. I mean lots of respect to Larian for how much was written and voice acted, how so much of decisions come in to force later on like with Mayrina or Yurgir, but the main plot is just ok. Act 1 meanders which really tested my patience, Act 2 has exploration that takes part into the main plot of the Act and the most amount of focus in its narrative. Act 3 is questwork to get everyone to fight the big bad while also getting 2 MacGuffins, possibly 3. Still home to some amazing quests though. Though as I said, Act 2 stands out. Maybe it's how some characters don't feel like they progress up until the end of their quests like Astarion. Maybe I don't love Baldur's Gate 3. Maybe I just really like Baldur's Gate 3.

Baldur's Gate 3 Fan Finds Hidden Shadowheart Dialogue

The topic of this article is about hidden dialogue that happens if Shadowheart chooses to reject Shar of her own volition without your persuasion. Ironically that’s the only way I experienced the game and I had no idea that other players had to convince her to reject Shar until I read about it after my second playthrough. Got to love any game that includes things that one player takes for granted, and another thinks is a big deal, just because the options are so varied. Until today I didn’t know the way I played it was not the default and the default perceived by other players is wildly different.

Lore experts out there, is Shar really that evil? She comes across as kind of absurdly, unapologetically evil and spiteful in the game (I just finished Shadowheart's questline)

I really adore the game, possibly my all time favourite game, but boy is Act 3 rough sometimes. The size of the city is overwhelming me and it seems to be pretty buggy. I mean, it's still good, but some quests straight up bug out if done out of order. I missed the strange ox in the beginning of act 3 and going back to its location now, it just straight up isn't there. My Tav even commented - It's that strange ox again!, though it is nowhere in sight. I am disappointed because I was genuinely invested and curious about the quest. The companion banter is also gone in act 3, and some characters straight up don't acknowledge things I have done out of order in the quest I declined Mizora's proposal for Wyll AND saved the duke without long resting. After saving the Duke I had a talk with Wyll about how his father is dead because of his choice or something along those lines. The game itself set a really high bar, maybe too high even for itself for act III... Act 3 kinda made me transition from - wow, gonna replay this a lot - to a one and done kind of deal.

I wish the entire game was set in the city but I understand that not everyone likes urban environments as much as I do lol
