    Agree completely except for the vast underselling of BG3. It’s one of the best games in years IMO and as far as I can tell, Larian is up to few or none of the usual money vampire tricks that have disgustingly become standard practice of the industry! ✊️❤️

      I’m a picky gamer and very, very rarely buy games at full price (last one was Elden Ring) but decided to pick up BG3 last night to see if it lived up to the hype, and return it within the refund window if it didn’t. 6h later, I still couldn’t put it down.

      One of those (sadly rare) instances where a game absolutely deserves the premium price tag.

      I haven’t bought it yet because I’m poor. Most of my games I buy on sale for under $20

        Probably won’t be for a long time with BG3, then, but at least the already thriving mod scene will have become even MORE comprehensive by then! 😁

          I did get BG1&2 for six dollars total on GOG, so I’ll be trying those out in the meantime. When I really got into the genre was Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny.

            Keep your eyes out for Planescape: Torment, regarded as the all time best CRPG, if you like the early BG games.

              This was the game that popped my cherry. My very first game, links awakening was my second. Up to this date I still love Zelda but haven’t tried the spiritual successor to planescape “tides of numenara”.
