Baldur’s Gate 3 is a masterpiece built on a bad tabletop game (www.polygon.com)

The writer got mad when a goblin shoved Astarion off a cliff. It reminded me of when I had Karlach shove a goblin in lava, then a goblin ran up and shoved HER in the lava. I didn’t get mad; I took it as a learning moment: enemies can shove me back, so move away from the lava.

Baldur’s Gate 3’s combat encounters are particularly tedious. I have taken to saving right before I enter any combat encounter so that I can start over the second things start to go sour.

Tell me you're young without telling me you're young.

Saving before every corner used to be SOP

Yea this reeks of the writer only ever knowing games that pander to the player so you stay happy and more likely to spend money on mtx. Games used to kick you in the balls repeatedly and laugh as you cried, some people didn’t grow up on that

It still would be if developers would let us fucking quick save anymore. Why that power got ripped from our hands I'll never know
