Fun game. I got to throw poop at a goblin. Got myself killed shortly after, but I did throw poop at him, so who's really the looser huh?

So uh... I may have gotten a bit too comfortable with Mr. Vampire and he also may have um. Killed me. Just a little though. I got better.

I don't know if I should be more disturbed that none of my party members cared/said anything when they found my body in the morning or that none of them cared when …

I really need some help with Auntie Ethel in Act 3. I learned that you're supposed to destroy her mushrooms before she takes any damage but they fully heal every round. Is there some way to make the damage stick? It doesn't help that every round, someone is turned into a sheep.

So, learned the hard way that if (spoilers for Act 2) you go through the Shar storyline before assaulting Moonrise, all the prisoners get ganked.

Time to reload a save from several hours ago, because I refuse to accept that outcome.

In response to Ubisoft's recent comments about subscription services, Swen Vincke of Larian had this to say:

Whatever the future of games looks like, content will always be king. But it’s going to be a lot harder to get good content if subscription becomes the dominant model and a select group gets to decide what goes to market and what not. Direct from developer to players is the way. https://t.co/wEUvd5adt0

In such a world by definition the preference of the subscription service will determine what games get made.

Trust me - you really don’t want that.

— Swen Vincke @where? (@LarAtLarian) January 17, 2024

TLDR ; you won’t find our games on a subscription service even if I respect that for many developers it presents an opportunity to make their game. I don’t have an issue with that. I just want to make sure the other ecosystem doesn’t die because it’s valuable.

— Swen Vincke @where? (@LarAtLarian) January 17, 2024

I genuinely hope Vincke sticks to this line of thinking for the rest of his career, but it is nice to hear.

About 15ish hours in. Last night I sat down after work to play for a bit. Next thing I knew it's 11pm. I stumbled upon a side quest that immediately grabbed my full attention and had me so invested I couldn't stop til finished.

This game is. So. Damn. Good.

I discovered a funny bit of dialogue the devs didn't account for. I cast seeming on my whole party because we were all hiding from the Steel Watch since they're hunting us down.

Anyway, I thought that was funny.

Time to start Act 3!!!

Which reminds me, this game feels very much like the D&D novels I read as a kid. Ketheric Thorm could easily be a villain in a Douglas Niles, Elaine Cunningham, or R.A. Salvatore series. Those novels were always divided into trilogies. They always had some near death boss fight at the end. BG3 is already …

So... it seems I have been babbling enthusiastically too much about this game, was talking to a friend who has it and he ended up gifting me a copy through steam for my birthday. The game cannot download fast enough. I'm so glad I'll be able to play with him too!

The urge to buy this game full price is so strong.... Alas, I'm a poor minimum wage worker, I (probably) shouldn't put my wallet through this. And yet....

I'm kind of afraid to start this one. The Witcher 3 was one of my favourite game... Until I got so bogged down with side content that I wound up getting seriously bored of it.

Can this game be played as like a normal 40-60 hour campaign, or is it going to wind up being one of those bloated games …

Call it slander, but I do not like the combat in Baldurs Gate 3. Everything else is great, but I am used to the XCOM style, tactical, isometric games. It's not been a smooth transition for me.

My biggest complaint is I'm used to the tab key cycling through characters during combat, but that's missing here & somtimes clicking on a character's icon switches to them, sometime it causes friendly fire. I'm about to switch to Easy mode.
