Not gaming opinion but: Twilight isn't ****. It's just not written for you. Being able to find a market and tap into it is extremely difficult and takes more skill than the vast majority of people possess. You can say the same thing about the Bioware RPG's. Heck, look how difficult it has been for them to maintain that edge.

I'm still amused by all the "BG in name only!" reactions. I mean, yeah, this is not a game that came out 20 years ago. It isn't the same developers. I get the concern that they are using the name, but just like with Fallout, you've got to be realistic. Larian is going to make the game the way they know how. It's totally fair to say if you didn't like D:OS, you probably won't like Larian's version of Baldur's Gate 3. But again, it's been 20 years. No one else was doing it. Pillars of Eternity is probably a much closer successor to the original BG's, and thankfully that franchise seems to be continuing on.

I'm actually excited by the gameplay video. It looks like the good parts of D:OS with a much better world building. Honestly I think it's very well done. I'm not sure where the Dragon Age comparisons are coming from.

I loved Minsc and he stayed with me through both games. Who was better, Khalid?

I wouldn't classify the Divinity games as sandbox. You get an area to quest in and can't move on until you progress the story. Now the story may be goofy and silly, but it still drives progress. I do agree that systems are a bigger focus than they were in BG, but I'm not sold on that being a bad thing. I am curious isf they can overcome my biggest issue with Larian games, which is how the systems get overwhelming as you move through the acts, and the story is rarely engaging enough to keep me playing.

Neverwinter Nights is an MMO that is still active, so pretty clear why they didn't use that as the name. People had the same complaints with Fallout and look what happened. It became a monster success!

Hmm, that made me think about what possible IP's Microsoft could give them access to. I found this fairly outdated list: I'm hoping for High Heat Baseball or RC Pro-Am.

I'd say he's like Trump without the 4 years of entrenchment.

With those Garmin devices, you can also safely become a wilderness explorer.

I've been curious about this game, but the graphics turn me off. I had trouble getting into Prison Architect for the same reason.

Yeah, I'm not going to just let it go. I apologized for any misunderstanding, but you have not apologized for the insults.

You wrote this in response to Amentep. There is a trend of people not understanding you. Do you really not recognize that? This is where you used the word retard while attacking 3 other posters. Look, I'm not sure where I insulted you so bad that you feel the need to go on with these attacks, but I apologize. We've been on this forums for years and I'm happy to say sorry if I've upset you. I also freely admit that I struggle to understand where you are coming from, and that is partially on me, but maybe you can make an effort to be more clear as well. Otherwise we are just spinning our internet wheels here and not growing or maturing.

You've called me literally retarded and insulted me repeatedly. What are you gaining from these attacks?

I have no idea what that means.

I'm just trying to figure out if I'm the literally retarded one. I guess if I knew, I wouldn't be, but if I don't than I am? What a puzzle!

I've been enjoying the cauliflower crust craze for pizzas. A couple places make it really well and I prefer it to the traditional crust.

majestic is a Wrath Baby.

Nobody understands him and it is clearly our faults. 😭

It seems like you are misinformed about India.

It is suprisingly common for endurance athletes to struggle with GI issues. But the alternatives of high blood pressure pills, heart disease, etc. and are much worse long term. I was shaking during the entire procedure amd had to really calm it down. I was also very aware. But it was fast and nothing major seems to be wrong. There is some esphogal issues that I will be trying some acid blockers for. I am also back on bread, so super happy. Two days of fasting was no fun.

Thanks. It is pretty trippy when your stool clears up and smells like mango. 💩

I'm prepping for a colonoscopy today. Yay. I'm getting the endoscopy done as well, which is probably the more worrisome one in terms of results. But the prep...ugh.

I think it is safest to expect Divinity gameplay and writing in an FR setting. Which is fine, I enjoyed both of the recent games.
