Really, really want to get this game but can't right now. 

The great news - it is what it is.  Single player, play at your own pace and your own style.  No plans for big future content.  Just a $60 that's got hundreds of hours of content AND is not nickel and diming you to death.

Finally picked it up and I'm having a blast. About 12 hours into the game right now. 

Oh, so you just made your character? /jokes!

Yeah, I've been busy but I still love jumping in to play!  There is SO MUCH replay-in-the-future in this game, and it's a HUGE game.  I've gone through several instances where I wish I had done things differently.  I'll get there =P

Looking at the larger world of gaming - the only lesson the rest of the industry can learn is to make quality games and not nickel and dime your players to death with battle passes and microtransactions.  BG3 is a unicorn because it had the support (from players) to take their time, a long early access, and they took the time to craft a work of art.  That's just not going to happen often in the current world of gaming.  People are just too impatient.

Divinity os 1 and 2 were games by Larian that I really enjoyed. So I had no doubts about this one at all. This is the lovechild of os 1 and 2 for sure. You could probably say it was os 3. Lol. 

I'm about 20 hours in now..... I can't stop playing.

Just finished up my first play through. So deep. Really enjoyed it. Started a new character, but need to take break from it for a bit to breathe

LOL yeah!  I play for a bit, into act II, then I'm like "but what if I did this instead?" so I start another... I have five saves...  LOL

I played the early access like 5 times before full release then went hard on like a 100 hour play through on my first full one and haven’t been able  to touch it since. It’s game of the year 2023 but I feel like I burned myself  too much lmao

its a grind for sure

If I could just skip to Act 2 I’d play it more but I went multiclassing pretty heavy into my first run and I’ve been a DM for a multi-year campaign so it’s hard to get excited about “trying” something new. 
 

When they make updates to the evil play through and flesh out Mynthra more I’ll give it a shot but you get rid over tons of hours of side quests if you go evil play through. Idk

I was going evil in my 2nd play through and noticed that fairly early.

Yeah like half of the companion characters leave your party and thus you lose access to their side quests. Until the either don’t make them leave and add dialogue to make it work or add other companion characters to replace what you lose than I’ll wait. Plus Mynthras dialogue was bugged for like a month on release so alot Of her options weren’t available.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
