There are a lot of great minor characters but I especially liked Barcus and Rolan and being able to impact their stories. I would have liked to see where things were going with He Who Was but never ran in to him again. Did I miss it or was there just the one encounter?

I'm still caught up in Baldur's Gate 3 and on my third playthrough. I don't understand how it can still be fun but am enjoying it.

After reaching act III with a sorcerer, I got overwhelmed and restarted with a spore druid dark urge. I still have a handful quests left in act III and it feels a bit weird being that close to the finale with an underwhelming epilogue to look forward to. But it truly is an awesome game and I'll probably start another dark urge as soon as I'm done and not try to save everyone and their mother.

@JJROKCZ I totally agree. I don't miss having sliders and spent plenty of time playing around with the options in character creation without them. My husband ended up with an awesome flute-playing tiefling bard that looks like she's in a punk-band.

Schrödinger's rotten basket: The magic thingamajig you didn't know you needed could be in the next container but you won't know for sure unless you look and find the rotten carrot.

The first area is really big. I think I'm about to move on to the next area after 40 hours or so but I also thought that 6 hours ago but keep stumbling into new areas.

Siralim Ultimate maybe? The Steam description: "Siralim Ultimate is a monster catching, dungeon crawling RPG with a ridiculous amount of depth. Summon over 1200 different creatures and travel through randomly generated dungeons to acquire resources, new creatures, and loot."

At some points, you need to rethink your setup and incorporate the new stuff you've found along the way to be able to mindlessly grind on but I've played for 160 hours so far and having a blast trying different strategies. Evoker is my favorite class so far - casting so many spells before the battle even begins that the enemy never gets their turn.

I finally got a greenhouse resulting in loads of padron peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers over the past months. It really made a huge difference in yield. Also, three squash plants is way too much unless you're the Duggars.

Less spectacularly, the sunflowers still haven't flowered and my clematis died of unknown causes.

Half-elf draconic sorcerer with charlatan background. I'm attempting to trick and persuade my way through Faerun and when that doesn't work, a fireball usually does.

Aw... the shark-stage - so cute when sleeping!

I had no idea they were edible! Now I'm definitely getting some.

I can totally see the clematis getting out of hand now that it actually started growing. It will be interesting to see what happens next year but so far, it looks great. Is your clematis wild type or cultivar?

Great suggestions - I actually already have clematis growing up some elder trees close by the spot I'm looking to cover. It took three seasons to really start growing so I didn't consider it a viable candidate but maybe I was just unlucky?

Hostas sound perfect for the place I have in mind and deer won't be an issue there - thanks for the suggestion. Do you have any favorites? It seems like there are a ton of variants to choose from!
