2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It's disappointing when game companies place it at the bottom of the priority list (lemmy.world)

Baldur's Gate 3. But the learning curve even on the easiest difficulty is pretty high. You're going to die or save scum a lot if you don't know DnD that well. Worth it though 100%.

Though bg3 contrary to a lot of good story games has excellent gameplay

I’m willing to accept the downvotes, but I found BG3 bland and corny.

Maybe I didn’t get far enough in the game, but the stories were kinda boring and the characters were annoying. Every time they spoke I wanted them to stop, especially Astarion.

I know different people like different things, but I gave that game far more time than I usually would’ve because of the critical acclaim and it just fell flat at every point.

Upvote for relevant discussion/opinion. Remember it's not an agree/disagree button.

I'll up vote this. I can't pick it up any further because I'm sick of hearing about all the companions "troubled pasts".

It's also so over the top for each of them, it would be more refreshing if one of them just had a normal cliche backstory. Instead everyone is extremely damaged and fucked up it's like playing D&D with a PTSD Support group.

"Oh yeah so sorry you had to watch your mother shoot up heroin and pass out every night with a different stranger. That's pretty sad. Well um hate to interrupt, but uh just want to um keep the game going... So let's roll to kick this goblin off a cliff."
