A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

baldurs gate 3. One thing im learing is I was to obsessed with stats and build. The mirror thing does not happen till way late in the game apparently and you can respec at any time so only the witches hair matters at all but unlike the mirror it has the 20 cap so its only real use is getting a stat to 20 at level 4 (or before level 8 or 6 for fighter) or for a particular min/max thing. So you can use it for an early power boost or leave it in your inventory but it ultimately does not matter much. Im still not sure if I will use it at level 4 or whenever I get it or just leave it in the inventory to see if there is something I would like to do at very end game. Im leaning to using it but I bet when push comes to shove I leave it in my camp chest. The main thing to remember is it does not really matter. The biggest thing is race choice and background and yeah it makes a difference but not a whole lot. If you want to min max melee damage you can do half orc but elf will give you a bit of extra movement. halflings get a redo of 1's. gith get access to all skills of an ability. ultimately it does not matter tha much.
