  Thanks :) Can I ask why you can’t play BG1? The Enhanced Edition on Steam isn’t very expensive and compatible with almost all possible modern OS’es. I can very much recommend it ;)

  It’s not a problem with turn-based, per se. I love Xcom. I finished Expeditions: Rome which is 100% turn-based combat on a grid exactly like BG3 & D:OS I&II. I love D&D rulesets as well. It’s just something about the exact combination of these things in BG3 that really REALLY irks me and prevents me from enjoying the game at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays old games⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what it is, but… I have always been a Baldur’s Gate fan of the first hour. BG1, when I played it back in 1998, blew my mind so completely that I STILL consider it the best CRPG ever made, hands down. After that came NWN and NWN2 and I enjoyed those also. It was also what introduced me to D&D and I read a ton of D&D novels after that.

  So you’d think that when BG3 came along, especially with me being Belgian, I’d be completely stoked. I immediately bought the game and… found to my greatest surprise that I just couldn’t enjoy it. At all.

  See, I bought and tried Divinity: Original Sin 1 & 2 and had the EXACT same problem. I just couldn’t/can’t get over the turn-based combat. It sucks so much ass. Realtime with “hidden” dnd rules was the way to go.

  So now whenever I see people gushing about BG3 I somehow feel like I “failed” myself for being disappointed in what seems to be the objectively best game ever made according to, well, everyone.

  Maybe it’s just a sign that there’s something wrong with me and that I’ve lost the ability to enjoy good games. Ah well.

  Like the other poster said, just make it yourself. Reddit is bound to piss off more of their users and they’ll need a place to land.

  You’re kidding but this is actually true. Investing in funeral parlors and similar services is probably a good idea right now; first the excessive dying of the poors, then war. It’s going to be a golden age for gravediggers.

  Damn I remember this post from when I was on 4chan still. OP did provide links and his story was 100% true. The girl wasn’t ugly, just kinda plain but almost every pic of her somehow exuded despair, and that was honestly offputting (except for the kind of creeps who get off on that I reckon).

  Yeah I fucking hate this stupidity/incompetence rethoric. We’re way past all that: this is all done with intentional malice. Hell, the malice is the main motivator for these people.

  Negativity bias has been an evolutionary advantage for hundreds of thousands of years of our development. You don’t exactly “breed out” a trait that has been honed to such a degree in a generation or two.

  When it got this bad in Rome most emperors quickly pulled a Liberalitas and, quite literally, showered the plebs in coins or at the very least, tokens for the grain dole. Unsurprisingly this worked (though it did have its limits).

  I feel like that’s one texture replacement away from reality. But knowing that side they would relentlessly attack it and make it seem like some kind of “maga kill simulator” or w/e.
