  I’ll second Tyranny and Pillars 2.
  Tyranny’s ending is… well… they tacked on some text - but it’s a great game otherwise.
  PoE2 is more enjoyable than the first one, IMO, just for the lighter tone. They do a better job of explaining the world, too, because you aren’t bludgeoned with lore-dumps like in 1.

  Tyranny is so good, and I prefer it to the first Pillars of Eternity. Shame the ending is so abrupt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games that force you to make hard choices⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love Steins Gate, but the choices you make are so wildly disconnected from the consequences that I don’t think it really counts. It’s such a strange system.

  I fill in easier crosswords left-to-right, top-to-bottom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am LOVING Baldurs Gate 3⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure if I’m enjoying it yet. I’m only 4 hours in and it feels like Divinity Original Sin 3 and not a Baldur’s Gate game. Maybe that’s fine, but it’s not what I was expecting.
  The combat seems more complicated and I’m having to rest after even basic encounters, but I guess that’s the way BG1 was too.
  Still messing with the graphics settings to get it to look decent and run ~60FPS on my creaky old Vega 56.

  How does multiplayer work without Game Spy?

  I actually just finished PoE2 yesterday, but I haven’t given any of the Pathfinder games a shot. I played a few hours of DOS1 and it didn’t really grab me.

  Same here. And look how long it’s taken for grappling hooks to be reintroduced to gaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2023 might be the best year for sequels and worst for new IPs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I just installed BG3 and I’ll probably start playing today. This was my concern - that it will feel like a Divinity Original Sin game and not a Baldur’s Gate game. Not that I have anything against DOS, I just really love BG2.

  I started playing Pillars of Eternity II about a month ago, then I was gifted BG3… and dammit, I’m going to finish PoE first. It’s a very enjoyable game. Lighter in tone than the first one and a bit less brutal with the lore. This time I have a good idea who the pantheon are, but I still occasionally find myself confused about people and place names. I used my saves from the first game to start this one, but I have very little recollection of what the hell I did back then, so maybe I should have started fresh.
