#BG3

7 posts7 participants1 post today

I'm grumpy this afternoon, so lets see if I can focus on #ThreeGoodThings and lighten up a bit:

1. I'm in Act 3 in Baldur's Gate 3 (#bg3), and the story continues to surprise.

2. Relatedly, I love my #Framework laptop. I got tired of Windows enshittification and saw the tariff problems coming last November. Glad I acted then rather than hem and haw.

3. One of the kids has an activity in Duluth, MN this weekend; it'll be a quick trip but I've never been there before.

You know what'd be nice? If one single companion in BG3 wasn't a fountain of drama. Like, wtf were the mindflayers thinking, gathering up the most burdened people in Faerun?

It'd be nice if just one companion was like: Oh sure, I want to get home, but I have a strong family network, and I'm confident they'll take care of things while I'm gone. Let's get this thing figured out. I'm here to help with whatever you need.

But no, I have to deal with whatever Gale is whining about now.

#BG3 thought - every time I do an Origins playthrough, I wish there was a way to simulate having a Tav: just this one good-hearted, chaotic NPC who (based on my play style) would wrestle God to protect a street urchin, but loots everything everything that isn't nailed down (and some things that are.)

Let's take this from the top, one last time.

I'm Diotima (obv not my real name) and I'm:

- A tiefling (horns and a tail, yes)
- Kind of obsessed with #BaldursGate3
- Writer of stuffs, SFW and NSFW.

I'm silly & weird. But my soul is also full of broken glass and rusted metal. Consider that like, fair warning.

Likes: #BG3, #ttrpgs, #adventure, #spicy things, and #travel.

Dislikes: Reply guys, fashies, and other icky things.

So there. That's it. That's the #introduction.

I'm giving Baldur's Gate 3 another shot, and so far I don't hate it.

DESPITE the fact that Lae'zel's scar is on the wrong side on the loading screen.
I mean, what the hell kind of sloppy operation are they running?

(also, multiplayer setup is hella buggy. C'mon, they've had 2 years to make this game not be so rough around the edges!)

But I'm kind of having fun this time around... at least for now. We'll see if I make it further than my first try 😅
