Yeah - I don't want to be too dismissive. I've read interviews with him, and despite his success, he hasn't measurably changed his lifestyle or fallen into the traps a big influx of money can cause. It honestly reminds me of No Man's Sky (minus the redempetion arc) where enough money was made from the base product that it funds ongoing development for the forseeable future.

I mean this is great, props... But didn't he already make his nut with this game?? I mean I can play it on my fucking Tesla, I assume he got paid.

No, any business major could tell you they release the game, then lay everyone off and sell the IP for parts!

I damned those bugs myself with a combo of napalm, flamethrower, and incendiary breaker.

But in all seriousness there are some huge bugs that can ruin a run you spent almost 40 minutes on... So I also bring a 500kg to deal with those.

BG3 was in development for 6 years, had a huge budget, and a development studio with experience making RPGs.

You can't expect a small, indie studio to match that when they've only had... Jesus 9 YEARS?!?!

Yeah, it's kind of messed up that I read a 66 as a stunningly negative response.

"Gave me a terminal disease." - 6/10

I was hoping this was going to end with a call to help so I could then recommend Bunny Drop. Because the internet has poisoned my brain, so why not share the damage?

Alfira is such a big one. I know it's an easy choice because of her Weeping Dawn scene early on, but this girl has "Get in the Party" written all over her. Tragic backstory! Thirst for Adventure! She's a Bard; I need a Bard!

I'm only to Moonrise Towers so far; there may be more I've yet to encounter. Wulbren was a big letdown, I've been looking for him since I accidentally flung his friend off a windmill. I was hoping to find a fun gnome inventor, instead, he's just kind of a prick who doesn't even care I helped all his friends in the Underdark!

The horse testicle physics are the heart of the game, and we should be boycotting any game that doesn't have them!

It's such a bizarre, but real issue. I've always been boggled by the idea that you can't offer your opinion on some games without first giving them a full work week. "I know you just sat there for the length of 5 movies and didn't like it, but it doesn't really get good until you sit through another 10."

If you give it 2 hours, a game should have made it worth your time.

My genx Brother in Law loves to bring up how he had to pay for college working a pressure washing and catering job. So that's two part-time jobs. 🙄 Of course the idea of student loan forgiveness is outrageous to him.
