If you spent thousands of hours with your ex wife/gf, should you be forbidden from later calling her a fucking bitch, and saying you wouldn't recommend anyone else to get in a relationship with her? Is it that weird and unthinkable to you, that looking back, moments that were positive before, can be soured by what happened later?
Straight answer, to a very gay question: you aren't forbidden but it speaks more about you than about her.

There is a saying: "Never diss your woman or your car - you chose them yourself".
At least with a car you know how it works under the hood.

IIRC, Death Knights of Krynn was my first D&D RPG. I played it on an Amiga 500. They used to have this awkward thing where the game referenced pages and paragraphs in the game manual for longer game texts. To this day, I am not sure whether this was done to save memory because the game also had to run on the C-64 or if it was a form of copy protection.

It was both if I remember correctly. Same with Starflight.

I'm not so sure, because I also remember that it did have a traditional manual-based copy protection when you start up the game ("Enter the word on page [...]") in addition to the diary entries.

I thought people would be talking about how turn based combat doesn't belong in Baldurs Gate but it's mostly gay sex
You are 1000 pages late for that discussion. It's all sex now.
This looks too good to be true.
Why though? From watching Swen's public behavior, I've always imagined he is the Steve Jobs type of boss. The boss who is 100% salesman and accomodating host when talking to clients is usually 100% slaverunner once the cameras are off, and he is at the office.

Just wait when after the hype normies and journos will realize that this is a classic TB RPG and not Dragon Age Inquisition. There will be a glorious cognitive dissonance.

So you can respec companions, which is great, and apparently necromancer gets some good summon shit later in the game.

Strongly considering going with Gale, and respeccing him to a fucking lich nigga and running with it.
my TAV is a paladin tho, will he be cool with that? kek

Also, I kind of need a rogue char in the party to unlock shit.. eh but i hate rogues.
And no way im taking asterion in my party

Bruh, NTR is the most popular fetish currently. People crave a good cucking. Plus, it's BG, it has to have it.

Since I am a porn dev, here is finally some perspective that I'm uniquely able to give.

NTR has a giant hatedom and fandom, and they are both notoriously insane.

As a dev, you don't want to dip a single toe in these waters.
How could an NTR "hatedom" be insane? Isn't that just called being normal?
Some insane people count all womens sexual encounters with anyone but you as NTR. Not even close relatives are allowed to have sex with anyone but them, so yeah, there are insane people there.
