~ In This Together ~ OST from Our Planet by Ellie Goulding & Steven Price

Thanks for sharing Indira! I'm excited and laughing/giggling/smiling like a stupid. Yes, despite my concerns, every time I hear some news about BG3 my excitement grows. I am happy to read about Astarion, because I'm very interested in him. I hope him killing off party members (for good?) is not entirely based on dice rolls alone. Looking forward to the Reddit AMA!

Yeah, I am starting to see that. I am just not used to this, that's all. Since I have never played a game by Larian. But I see what you are saying. I will have the freedom to fill in the concrete, specific words of my character and even his voice by myself. Maybe that's a thought I can even learn to appreciate. I will try to stay open minded. But in the end I may not be able to get into it, and that would be okay, too. Different tastes for different folks. I imagine it would be easier for me in a 2D game rather than a 3D game with close-up conversations.

*I decided to post a link to an article that pointed out the problems with the dialogue system in Baldur's Gate 3. - What would the Obsidian forum members think about it?* https://screenrant.com/baldur-gate-3-dialogue-past-tense-breaks-immersion/

I grew up with Baldur's Gate and the Infinity Engine games. And I love them so much. I have never played a game from Larian, not even heard of them before. Now, after watching the gameplay video from Larian of Baldur's Gate 3 I can't help but feel... I feel excited, actually. More than anything I am so looking forward to the opportunity to go back to the Forgotten Realms, and have another adventure at the Sword Coast and in Baldur's Gate. I feel that I am supposed to hate Baldur's Gate 3 and Larian. But I can't based on that gameplay demo alone. It's far too early to tell for me. There are some things I am sceptical about, yes. 1.) I have never played an RPG with TB. But for that very reason I cannot condemn that. I do not know what it will feel like. I only know turn based from the Heroes of Might and Magic games which is an entirely different genre altogether. So it's something new for me. And I will stay open minded about it and try it out in BG3. 2.) The dialogue system. That is my biggest concern at the moment. That is so unusual for me. The dialogue is held in 1st person, indirect speech, past tense. I Imagine I might eventually adapt and get used to it. But I fear that this may be a huge immersion breaker for me. Also I do not like silent protagonists (although I understand that voicing all possible combinations of lines for the protagonist is too expensive). I am not fond of the "3" in the title either. But I put much less importance on it. No matter how you call this game, it will let me revisit Baldur's Gate! And so far I have no reason to believe that Baldur's Gate 3 will spoil my fond memories of BG1 and 2 in any way or take them away from me. I'm already looking forward to play as Astarion, the vampire spawn. 😄

That'd mean I could never reach those items without opening my CE box, which... is never going to happen O______o

Aww So it will get another nerf. I know, I know, it's a bug, it should be fixed. Fluffle sad though

It has been ages since I last played a Ubisoft game (not counting HoMM3 HD). So that wouldn't be any problem for me anyway. Even if they copy+pasted content from their other games, it would be new to me. But the thing about Assassin's Creed Odyssey is, that they are in fact trying to change the series. They are changing the genre of the series to RPG. So it's not "same old, same old". Certainly not for AC Odyssey within the game series Assassins Creed. This one is going to be very different from its predecessors. Of course, now fans are outraged that this isn't a "true" Assassin's Creed game anymore...
