Favorite minor/side character?
  • There are a lot of great minor characters but I especially liked Barcus and Rolan and being able to impact their stories. I would have liked to see where things were going with He Who Was but never ran in to him again. Did I miss it or was there just the one encounter?

  • What are folks playing this weekend? (Sept 22nd)
  • I'm still caught up in Baldur's Gate 3 and on my third playthrough. I don't understand how it can still be fun but am enjoying it.

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 - Discussion post #1
  • After reaching act III with a sorcerer, I got overwhelmed and restarted with a spore druid dark urge. I still have a handful quests left in act III and it feels a bit weird being that close to the finale with an underwhelming epilogue to look forward to. But it truly is an awesome game and I'll probably start another dark urge as soon as I'm done and not try to save everyone and their mother.

  • I've never thought of myself as a compulsive person...
  • Schrödinger's rotten basket: The magic thingamajig you didn't know you needed could be in the next container but you won't know for sure unless you look and find the rotten carrot.

  • Baldur’s Gate 3’s Metacritic Score Now Tops ‘Tears Of The Kingdom’
  • The first area is really big. I think I'm about to move on to the next area after 40 hours or so but I also thought that 6 hours ago but keep stumbling into new areas.

  • Searching for a grindy game for on the Steam deck
  • Siralim Ultimate maybe? The Steam description: "Siralim Ultimate is a monster catching, dungeon crawling RPG with a ridiculous amount of depth. Summon over 1200 different creatures and travel through randomly generated dungeons to acquire resources, new creatures, and loot."

    At some points, you need to rethink your setup and incorporate the new stuff you've found along the way to be able to mindlessly grind on but I've played for 160 hours so far and having a blast trying different strategies. Evoker is my favorite class so far - casting so many spells before the battle even begins that the enemy never gets their turn.

  • What's Everyone Playing in Their First Playthrough?
  • Half-elf draconic sorcerer with charlatan background. I'm attempting to trick and persuade my way through Faerun and when that doesn't work, a fireball usually does.

  • My puppy might be part bat.
  • Aw... the shark-stage - so cute when sleeping!

  • What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?
  • If Crusader Kings is ever combined with Mount & Blade, I'll never see daylight again.

  • Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 23rd
  • Just started playing Grim Dawn again while waiting for Baldur's Gate 3.

  • Reddit braces for life after API changes
  • I love Lucky Charms but unfortunately, they're not sold where I live. The sugar content is probably above the official EU limit for cereals or something :(

  • I am surrendering a 13 year old dog soon. I feel his QoL is not so great. I would Like advice on how to help my other dog cope.
  • I would recommend this as well if you have the option. With my previous dog, the regular vet recommended another vet who was semi-retired to only doing final house calls. She was really nice and empathic and made it all easier to get through.

    Whether getting a new puppy is a good idea or not very much depends on what your shih tzu is like - would he be able to keep up with a new puppy and enjoy it or is peace and quiet more his thing?

  • Ruins & Riches - a single-player Ultima Online experience.
  • This is awesome! I've been wanting to play UO for a while and single player is perfect. I really don't miss the PK guilds - one step outside the city and bam, you're dead! Being gutted by a stag due to your own stupidity is much less infuriating.

  • What's your idea of relaxation/a relaxing time?
  • Had to look Arnold Palmer up - looks nice! I'd never have thought of combining the two.

  • How do you stay interested in something for a long time?
  • I have ongoing hobbies like training my dog and doing garden-stuff during summer but other than that, I switch between gaming, reading, writing, drawing and making pixel art. I've had the same hobbies for years and must have spent several 1000 hours doing all of them by now but suspect I'd have burned out on everything if I didn't switch around. I like making things but I'm not trying to make any of it into a side-hustle - I have plenty work at work - so there is no pressure to keep doing a particular hobby when it begins to feel stale.
