That's true. Just that this game even has Ship, sinking/falling ship, beach all in the exact order DOS2 had is especially weird.

It's weird that they chose to have DOS2 and Baldur's Gate 3 start basically the exact same. Start on a ship as a prisoner, ship goes down, wake up on a beach. I can't tell if it was on purpose? Or maybe they didn't realize how similar they are. Either way I can play about 20 minutes then I stop caring. Not sure exactly what it is about larian games that bores me so much.

I'm not a big fan so far. Feels a lot like DOS2 but prettier(which was never my issue with the game). Although the dialog parts where it shows your character "speaking" or thinking make me laugh... It reminds me of fallout 4 with the voiceless protagonist mods.... Just an awkward pause with a close up on your characters face, then back to the other character talking.

But he was employed by multiple companies before the accusations... So does it really make him less hireable? That being said, I probably wouldn't hire him because of all the trash talking of former employers. However, that does not seem to be the case.

I think that's kind of missing the point. I'm not a big fan of his personally. But the **** talking isn't what made him lose his job(s) The main problem with the metoo stuff is that the difference between a successful flirt and harrassment really comes down to if the lady likes the guy. Essentially they want you to know if the lady is interested before flirting . This of course is not defending any of the more extreme circumstances

I was jokingly going to complain how I can't handle minor changes and the new forum is bothering me... Looks like someone beat me to it.

I like being eased into fantasy games and before even starting the game it's all squid people and dragons.

Has anyone mentioned tyranny?

Tempted to get it. I read everyone's pansexual, that's my least favorite style of relationships. Aside from, of course, real life relationships. Anyone want to argue about turn based being better/worse than real time with pause?

Surprised he is using a sharpie, thought for sure he was a crayon kind of guy.

Blasphemy! You can tell him to go away. I think story wise the reason to keep him around is that he knows a lot about the history of the dyrwood and he also knows you're a watcher the second he sees you. He is very useful to someone who knows nothing about his/her current situation. He is an ass though.

The trick is to not have any friends. I like to think your character name is very offensive. Something Jim perhaps

Every game in my steam library for 15 minutes before getting bored

Probably in the minority and his build isn't bad but tekehu from deadfire annoyed me a lot

I doubt it will flop. Even if it's not as good as people think. People will have rose coloured glasses At least to start off. Example is how much I loved outer world's at the start. Now trying to replay I get bored super quick. It's not bad... Just not as good as I thought it was to begin with

Why would obsidian make another IP for post apoc? Microsoft already has fallout and wasteland... Not sure they need a third. Although you did sway me with "start working on PoE 3" I do worry a bit about obsidian after Microsoft bought bethesda.

I'd probably be forced to join the people who were murdered faction. My weapon would be the stench from my rotting corpse.

Funny that I'm pretty sure this doesn't change the fact that there are still no launch titles... Even after buying that many studios. Very interesting though

Kinda weird if new elder scrolls and avowed are Xbox exclusives. Really hoping for a obsidian fallout! Also I hope this means avowed is more RPG heavy, seeing as they are definitely not competitors now. Elder scrolls can be the open playground and avowed can be more hardcore rpg.

Just finished wasteland 3... Weird that this game had no real twists and turns. 10 hours in I was thinking 9/10 midway through was thinking 8/10 by the end it really feels like a 6 or 7. Won't spoil anything but the motivation for your alternate choice(not patriarch) doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I really just felt nothing about the whole ending.

Cigarettes

I'll have a listen... If for no reason other than to see how you fill up a podcast talking about a game with barely any information out about it.

I'm curious why some people dislike Sawyer? I think He is a bit combative with fans occasionally but I doubt that's the only reason.

Just wait until you've gone between Colorado springs and the palace a few times. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the game. I dread reloading or entering areas due to the very long load times. I blame unity

She seems unhinged... My first playthrough is my idealistic naive playthrough... Try to do everything that my younger self believed in... My second play will be more cynical where I'll side with the patriarch. Third if I get to a third will be psycho(I rarely finish these as I tend to feel guilty even if it's make believe) 8/10 seems right... Could be a 9 of those damn loading times were cut down
