I was kinda hoping it'd take Baldur's Gate 3 longer to ruin my life
I guess that saving throw for my real life didn't work out.

I have fallen into the same trap that I always do with this type of game, and which I begged myself not to this time, to no avail: Roll a character, be having a good time. Suddenly think, "I wonder if there's another way to solve this area if my character were any good at stealth..." Roll another character, replay the same 8-10 hours of the game. Think to myself, "that was interesting, but how would that play out if I took the bad guy path? Or if I was a magic user? Or if I had a mustache?" Replay the same 8-10 hours of the game, ad nauseam.
And this is even after the 100 hrs I sank in Early Access.
This is ALWAYS what I do with these games and then never finish them because I burn out on the same 8-10 hours of content. Really silly…
Hopefully by the time it finally makes it to Xbox, I can get these impulses under control. 😂
Respecs are only like 200 gold! I would just reload and respec if you want to try out a different play style for an encounter.
Only 100. I respect constantly for slightly different stats/subclass/spells I want to try
I didn't even have any hype for this game because I don't do anything DnD related and I typically don't like how complicated CRPGs are, but this game has me by the balls and I constantly think about it. I find myself having to avoid some fights even on easy (those god damn phase spiders in the well at the goblin village) but it's so freakin' great either way. I played co-op on Friday with a friend who has been playing DnD for 30 years and he was impressed by my experimentation and creativity which is something I'm usually pretty poor at.
I haven't been this excited to have a game ruin my life since I took 11/11/11 off of work. Unbelievable that that was A DOZEN years ago, jesus.
Oh a Dragonborn! Me too!
I've put almost 40 hours into this game since it came out, I'm only just finishing up Act 2. ::: spoiler spoiler (Moonrise, Nightsong, Blood of Lathander and I think there's a fight I missed in Reithwin, left to go.) ::: And I have no doubt I'm going to do at least 2-3 more full playthroughs, plus a dozen odd partial playthroughs messing with different builds, permutations, modded content, etc. This game is going to be the death of me. :P
