Glad i restrained my self from buying it back in 2020. The wait would have killed me inside. But popularity of this game is crazy, tempting me to try before release.Played through BG3 EA a couple of times again.
Once with a party of rangers (good actions). Once with a mixed party of Githyanki (evil actions)
However, due to the vagaries of dice rolls, my good rangers ended up destroying the Druid grove and my evil Gith preserved it.
Still, doesn't look like it will be out of EA this year, so still limited to Act 1 only
Oh you should really give Wraith of the Righteous a try when you have the time. So many classes + sub-classes it's crazy how much time you can spend just brainstorming different builds and party set ups. And the story is mind blowing ( specialy Minagho voice actress ).Its different. Its very much a Larian game with a D&D skin on top. But that's not a bad thing per se, i enjoyed Divinity 2 a lot.
Its certainly the prettiest of the current crop of D&D based RPGs and has some interesting mechanics. Good story so far (will have to see how it develops). Its very open world in terms of how you approach quests and go through the main quest. Which is good for those who enjoy that, bad for those who want to be told where to go and what to do.
Its been a good couple of years for D&D based RPGs though, with Kingmaker, Solasta, and BG3. I haven't tried Wrath of the Righteous because it goes into silly Epic levels and has Paragon paths and stuff, and i kind of got tired of that silliness many years ago.

My favorite emergent gameplay innovation in Alyx was when I found a wastebasket and started filling it with grenades to get around the grenade carry limit. Then I'd wander around the levels with my basket-o-grenades in one hand, and initiate most combat encounters with explosives. Of course every now and then the basket would get knocked out of my hands and my precious cargo would scatter everywhere.Half Life: Alyx on the Quest 2.
Yes, I know I'm late to the party... but still. Wow. No idea what I'm doing (feels like I'm spending half my time figuring out the controls), but it's amazingly atmospheric.
Tried playing sitting down (my default), but I think this is one that really demands you stand up with a Guardian area (I normally have that turned off) to get the best out of it.
That reminds me of a character I played in pen and paper rpg. After DM complained we pull too many guns from hammerspace he made us track how we store the gear and instead of getting rid of my arsenal I bought a wheeled golf bag.My favorite emergent gameplay innovation in Alyx was when I found a wastebasket and started filling it with grenades to get around the grenade carry limit.

Having just updated the major bits of my machine, I can empathise. I have a feeling that this winter and it's bills will be cruelI'd bought the game a while back but was waiting for GPU prices to fall so I could play it with a shiny new card. When I saw that was never gonna happen, I thought I might as well try it with my slightly tired system
It played okay. I did get warnings that my graphics card wasn't really up to the task, but I just clicked them away. Now that prices are dropping a little, I might be able to upgrade if I can survive the raise in the cost of living
A few months of huddling around a candle for warmth and eating Tesco's own brand gruel I might be able to afford one, and then I'll have another playthru of Alyx... this time trying Kaocraft's basket trick
When you need your fix...World of Warships might tickle my fancy if it wasn't for the P2W business model.
I backed ED game and paid upfront for the founders edition. The issue know is the travel time sink since going to Hutton orbital' is no longer funny
That and the fact the some Fleet carrier owners are selling low cost goods for cash plus the usual Eula breaking that goes on.
