  • I stopped playing BG3 to try Starfield when it came out. I got through the intro, landed at that first populated world, and stopped to talk to a janitor at the train station. She said something like, “Boy, I sure would like a cappuccino from TeraBrew!” and a quest tracker popped up for me to go buy her a cup of coffee. I delivered it to her and she gave me a bag of apple slices that healed 1 HP or some shit.

    I went back to playing BG3.



  • I have fallen into the same trap that I always do with this type of game, and which I begged myself not to this time, to no avail: Roll a character, be having a good time. Suddenly think, “I wonder if there’s another way to solve this area if my character were any good at stealth…” Roll another character, replay the same 8-10 hours of the game. Think to myself, “that was interesting, but how would that play out if I took the bad guy path? Or if I was a magic user? Or if I had a mustache?” Replay the same 8-10 hours of the game, ad nauseam.

    And this is even after the 100 hrs I sank in Early Access.
