I guess it was Baldur’s Gate 3. Fantastic game. I got partway through a second, heavily modded playthrough—I say second, but I spent a ton of time with it in early access—but I got a bit burned out, and have subsequently been replaying Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

I dunno how difficult to implement this might be, but it ought to be cognizant of Linnaean taxonomy. I just had one where the word was seahorse, but the bot claimed it was not a ray-finned fish.

Other than that, how was the kerning, Mrs. Lincoln?

Yeah, I got a free copy, and couldn’t get into it. Granted, I haven’t gotten into any other games in the soulslikeaverse.

Yeah, I just finished the game, and inventory management was probably my number one gripe. Hours were spent micromanaging all the luggage. I had the same experience with the gift bag. If I had it to do over, I’d go Lone Wolf, just to simplify the logistics.

Having just finished DOS2, and played a ton of early access BG3 as well, I think BG3 really does take it to another level. It does a better job with immersion, I think, which engages you more in the story and characters. Based on what I’ve played so far, they’ve managed to do that without sacrificing any of the complexity of DOS. We’ll see how fleshed out the rest of it is soon, but I’m uncharacteristically optimistic.

One thing I’ve found helpful is to make sure everyone has at least one mobility spell, so they won’t be stuck trying to trudge through a lake of fire. Positioning is super important. Also, teleport and netherswap are incredibly useful.

I played through that fairly recently! Unexpected gem, I thought. In the early game, doing missions for Copeland’s camp will eventually get you access to a larger fuel tank. The best rewards, imo, were the guns you unlock by taking down hordes.

I’ve been meaning to pick up Rimworld for years, but it never seems to go on sale for more than 15% off. Consequently, I haven’t been able to justify buying it. Suppose I’ll eventually get to play a very polished version.

Ayy, I’m also currently playing DOS2. Recently remembered that I never finished it; started a co-op campaign of it with my ex on PS4 years ago, then had a house fire and never bought another console. In early Act IV now, so I should have time to finish it up before BG3 releases.

DOS2 is a great game, and I’m enjoying my playthrough (running ranger Ifan, rogue Sebille, geo/pyro Fane, aero/hydro Lohse)but it doesn’t hit quite the same as the early access parts of BG3. Hard to put my finger on why, exactly. Maybe the more cinematic dialogue camera makes the characters in BG3 feel weightier. Anyhow, pretty hyped for the 3rd.

Absolutely. I played through the available content a couple of times right after it came out in early access ages ago, and thought it was pretty fantastic. I know they’ve added scads of new stuff since then. If you liked Larian’s previous RPG’s (Divinity: OS 1 and 2), you’ll like it.

I played that fairly recently; I think it was a weekly freebie on the epic store. Thought they really nailed the Firefly-type vibe they were going for. Spent a lot of time playing pool in various space stations.
