Do I actually have to do a tease for this?
Do we not all know what it is?
It’sBaldur’s Gate 3!
Once you get over the fact that Baldur’s Gate 3 is quite hard it’s actually rather freeing.
I was a big fan of the way your choices layer up like a Hollywood-handshake-winning puff pastry.
And so on, and so on.
In this film, Kelsey Grammer says “you wanna bet on a dude fuckin' an alligator?
You wanna walk in on a bugbear and an orc mid-coitus?
You wanna sneak into hell?
Baldur’s Gate 3.
Ollie:I’ve never finished a CRPG, not once.
I love them, and I spend hours in the character creator putting together the perfect fantasy specimen.
And then somewhere along the way, I fall off the bandwagon.
And I still haven’t finished it.
At this point it’s fairly clear that this is a me problem.
Though it’s admittedly also because Baldur’s Gate 3 is so goddamn huge.
So much to see, so many choices to make, so many enemies to Thunderwave off clifftops.
But boy, am I looking forward to starting the Baldur’s Gate 3 journey again.
I long for those first moments inside the Illithid Leviathan.
But this time, I’m determined to keep both my character’s eyes in their skull.
Alice0:Very excited for a future mod to edit this down to a manageable hour or two.
If you love RPGs you must give Baldur’s Gate 3 a go!
you’re free to talk to Yorkshire cows and Scottish eagles, that’s reason enough to play.
Edwin:I’m still in Act 1.
Baldur’s Gate 3 exists to me as a million oddball headlines and forum gossip about e.g.
people reverse-pickpocketing demons to make them explode.
There’s still a game in there somewhere, right?
Or does it now exist exclusively on Reddit?
Ed:And I’ve only just reached Act 2.
When they do happen, though, we’re fully absorbed forhours.
Often, it’s two hours spent in a single fight trying to break out of prison.
And we’ve learned that every fight is significant.
In fact, that everything is significant.
