Enjoy it while you can boys. This will be a classic up there with the likes of BG1 and 2. BG4 will be something completely corpo infested. I honestly can't believe how well they pulled this off, considering my love for the first 2 games.
I played the living fuck out of 1 and 2 with my two best buddies in the world at the ages of like 15-19. BG1 is in my Top 10 and BG2 is probably my 2nd favorite game ever. BG3 has been fun as hell but it has honestly been pretty tough for me to play due to those memories. 1 of those homies sadly shot himself 7 years ago now due to depression/mental issues and the other hasn't gamed since probably 2017 or so, due to wife, kid, work, etc.
So, while the game is great, I'm not gonna lie that playing it gets me in the feels pretty goddamn hard. What a bitch I am. Getting old sucks.

Pretty sure Microsoft tried to buy them already and they said no because they didn’t want to lose control and go the corporate route. Which, if making games is your passion no one should sell their studio to a giant corporation. It devastated every studio that does it.

There has to be a point where morally you are making millions and are creatively fulfilled, and you don't need to sell out for hundreds of millions but have a corporate overlord.
All these people who sold out end up leaving the parent company and setting up depressing failed game studios to recapture their former glory.
I just don't get this greed towards getting ever more money to buy a yacht instead of having some sort of great legacy in your industry.

The problem is that even if you have a guy in charge who "won't sell" - money talks, people age/get replaced, and as you get on in life, "one last payday" doesn't sound so bad.
Your family is going to care a hell of a lot more about all those houses they could buy instead of internet neckbeards freaking out when they see their name mentioned on an "in memoriam" YouTube video 30 years from now.

My plan is to finish the first part of the underdark and grymforge then go to the mountain pass. If I'm understanding correctly, that's what you're suggesting.

Haven't gotten anywhere near end of Act I because we're autistic and keep restarting/rerolling trying to find the closest port possible to our 5e/CE mains and testing all available encounter cheesing. Kitbashed repeatedly at Lvl 4/Feat unlock, landed on double wild/beserk barb/warlock as having the most meat grinder potential. Dark urge full villian no takebacks, fun as fuck

Ending is pretty flaccid - really feels empty compared the rest of the game up until that point. Lot of threads that don't really tie up at all or aren't even mentioned, and there's no epilogue of the aftermath or anything at all.
Strongly suspect their decision to launch ahead of Starfield came at the cost of a more refined ending. It's lame enough to cement the game firmly as like a 7-8/10 rather than an actual 10.

I mean I don't expect something profound. BG2 was a stereotypical DND campaign.
Be forced to run away from home for some reasons. Go on adventures. Meet weird characters who are good or bad. Slowly uncover the big bad. Become more powerful. Go on more quests and do more weird shit. Go cool places. Confront big bad. Run off into the sunset with the boys.

Do you think you just got a bad ending? Aren't there supposed to be quite a few? If not, that's disappointing, but I guess it's the journey, yadda yadda...

I was reading an article that there is probably no plans for an expansion for BG3 which makes really sad. I’m loving this game. The article said the reason being that it may be impossible to balance the game at higher levels. The higher level spells are really powerful like Power Word Kill, Foresight and Wish. I can’t even imagine how in the hell they would incorporate Wish into the game.

they would have to use it narratively or just use it to copy any other spell. casting wish to copy a spell is the safest route anyway, since using it ANY other way can cause you to lose the spell permanently as well as basically get rez sickness

PWK is limited by hp if I recall correctly, and spells like foresight and wish you could just alter their functionality to fit the game. Or just remove the big problems.

People are fucking stupid if they "don't get" why someone would want to be so rich they can live a luxuriously for the rest of their lives without ever working again when they could be slaving away to make a few more games for neckbeards who are going to bitch anyways
