!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

This is how I felt with bg3. Like I know there's a lot of little assets for every bookshelf and basket type you have to click on incessantly, but...150GB for a third person isometric? Is every book ready for rendering at 8k or something?
Is it maybe voice files etc for all the potential branching storylines and conversations that can happen? It's such a spiderweb of branching storylines that I'd imagine it can take up a fair whack but I genuinely dont know jack shit, just spitballing.
it definitely is significant. that game has insane amounts of voice work and voice audio takes a lot of space. it used to be a huge problem with physical media
