So we should expect indies with a comparatively tiny budget to match the scale and scope of BG3?

Real-time with pause is superior than turn-based for CRPGs, especially given how many encounters there are in the games.

Turn based wins out the less encounters there are.

I have no stake in this, but I'm just curious - are these two separate things, or is the article referring to XIM users as cheaters? From a brief read it seems that cheaters are using XIM for nefarious purposes, so XIM detection is also hitting them as well, but I want to make sure that I understand it correctly.

Are there a large variety of mods for D2R? I know of the one for D2 (Median XL), but as far as I know, that isn't coming to D2R. What are some for D2R that you would recommend?

I picked up Monster Hunter Rise it's Steam Deck verified and should run a lot better than MH: World!

I'm interested in picking it up! Do others think that the game has enough longevity to hold attention for months, or even years?
