Please no, not bigger! Its been months and I've only reached Wyrms Crossing this week! I have so many other games to play and not enough time to play them all

I really wanna play the game, but i know it's too big and i will drop it and never pick it up again. It's also too big to play with friends who don't play too often

Same. It looks super interesting, but I haven't finished anything similar in the past, so I don't think I'd finish BG3. Some games still waiting for me:

  • RDR2 - loved RDR, but RDR2 is just way too long
  • The Witcher 3 - haven't even started; I tried the prior games, which are shorter, but still haven't finished any of them (loved the short stories though)
  • The Elder Scrolls - never finished Morrowind or Skyrim, despite having lots of hours in each

So yeah, I just don't finish long RPGs. I like shorter ones, but I just lose interest around 30-40 hours in.

I just gave up on BG3. Updated it, lost my save (corruption likely due to mods). But it took so long to get to Act 3 that I won't be playing again for months.

Just started RDR2 and it's already feeling cinematic and long. Trying to take it in doses.

Witcher 3 is more fun with mods and cheats, so you can just explore and hack shit to death.

Skyrim is easy to waste weeks in. I'm like 3,000+ hours in total.

But most people didn't even get past act two and the most common complaint is it's so big you end up in a hundred unrelated quests and quest items with no idea what any of them are about.

Honestly I'd love something similar but a bit more manageable thoigh of course I'm happy to accept it's not a game for me and hope those the enjoy it love it.

Can someone explain to me what "to dwarf the scope" means? As I am a non native speaker

Does this mean reduce the scope since dwarfs are supposed to be small?

[-] arrowMace@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

"to dwarf" means "to make look small by comparison". So they're saying the new scope will make the BG3 scope look small.

[-] Mirakulix@feddit.de 3 points 7 months ago

THX :)

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

Or it'll be similar scope, but just have a lot of dwarves.

Is this account a bot? It's taken over literally my entire front page (when set to "subscribed"), and some of page 2, with multiple posts in a single minute at times.

[-] nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works 19 points 7 months ago

Sorry I just post everything at once when I filter through all the posts from various websites and communities.

[-] Opafi@feddit.de 9 points 7 months ago

I'm not sure if I'm convinced. Could you post a screenshot of a solved captcha to prove it?

^/s^

[-] MHLoppy@fedia.io 5 points 7 months ago

It does absolutely flood the feeds of some subscribed users when you post 40 (!!) things in one go to a single place. Would you be willing to consider either submitting in batches or spreading some submissions into more targeted communities? While I admire your dedication (and of course don't speak for everyone about preferences), I find this amount of stuff from a single sub/comm/mag at once really undesirable because in the aftermath it temporarily turns most of my subscription feed into just that and not much else.

Rock and stone... I guess?

[-] Redwastaken@lemmynsfw.com -1 points 7 months ago

And with DoS2 and BG3 under they belt they can count with my money, I assume they won’t forje pre order shit so a Day One for me, will probably take a vacation just to play it, got to adictos to BG3 and did barely any work in the week I got it.
