if owlcat games are cardboard boxes, bg3 is at least a nice sand castle
what does that mean?? a cardboard box is more durable than a sandcastle
Pathfinder is probably the best game ever made if you like masturbating to Excel (it's average or worse in pretty much every other way).
In literally every other aspect, BG3 is either better or at least the same.

Late game spoiler.

So they just went ahead and decided to ruin
Sarevok's entire character arc from ToB, if you decide to alignment shift him, huh?

where the best is like the worst
You don't like MILFs?
Swen, I swear, if you ever arrive in Poland even Jean-Claude Van Damme will not be able to protect you.

I'm going to kick your ass with such a force you will fly around the world and travel more distance than Tin-Tin during all 24 comic book issues.

I bet you are a Walloon, you lazy hack. You are so lazy you grab your dick and wait for an earthquake when you want to masturbate.

Actually, maybe you are Flemish. This would explain how souless your games are.

Go choke on a chocolate waffle.
Poland was a mistake

But we Belgian bros still love you

:love:
Learn how to speak to elders, you jumped out of Netherlands cock just 2 centuries ago and still got no moral spine.
Nobody organizes such events in Africa like the Belgians :)
Congo became a mess because Belgians couldn't organize shit and put niggers in charge of other niggers which led to hand choppings

That, and also Pathfinder is all about pre-buffing and storming through dungeons as fast as you can before your enlarge/reduce/whatever potion effects wears off. With Kingmaker, it's my curiosity that wore off quite fast.

She would just drop her 2.5 as the definitive and KING score and then start getting into verbal slapfights with everyone.

So, basically like any other codexer.

Insert Title Here RPG Wokedex Codex Year of the Donut Pathfinder: Wrath
I just got educated about the harmful drow stereotypes by the drow whore in the brothel.

After that we set some respectful sex work boundaries.

In the end, all you can get from her is some gentle touching and ASMR.

You can get fucked by her brother though.

Pathfinder's biggest problem is handicapped dewelopers. There's a reason they're sticking to 1e if they went for 2e they'd actually have to do more than just increase AC and call it a day.
Add low enemy variety and no real fight design.
BG3, despite its similar length, is much less tiring mainly because of how many fights are unique.

There are probably 10 different types of Babau in WoTR.
As long as I don't see what they do with Rogue Trader, I won't change my mind that retarded monkeys work there.

Good metaphor. If Pathfinder is masturbating to Excel, at least BG3 is masturbating to bear sex.

Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
-When Nere is freed he immediately starts killing the gnomes unless you fight him. This inexplicably turns every dwarf in the area hostile, which is a fight you probably aren't prepared for. (Reload)

Played it without reloading.
Was not prepared for a such a large fight, could instantly tell my party's days were numbered.

Three members go down valiantly trying to put a dent in the enemy numbers.

While Potion of Invisibility Wyll -> run the hell out of there -> Revive the dead members at wickers -> pre-buff and utterly decimate from the upper balcony.

Only in Act 2, but with ability to use fly / invisibility etc to flee any battle, and abuse wickers revive, BG3 feels like a game where a blind Iron-Man run is possible.

Has anyone played (and completed) the game solo? How viable is it? On balanced at least.
I beat it mostly solo on balanced with the party there just to provide long rest buffs.

Completely doable without mods but probably not recommended. Just expect every fight to take much longer than normal and the final boss fight to be really annoying.

I can't deny it.
Although after WotR I would like to see how degenerate their new game would be if they had the same amount of money as Larian.

I guess kinda? Yet the outcomes of Baldurs Gate individual player runs were never canon to begin with. The canonized BG2 heroe, Abdel Adrian, traveled with Sarevok for a time because Anchev thought he still could play a cirtical role in fulfilling Alaundo's prophecy.
But alignment shift never was canon. Sarveok became head of the Murder Tribulan in Baldurs Gate and remains to this day. This is not made up by Larian, but pretty much the lore.

He already did that and called it a reddit game.

He? I thought Lilura was a girl.
