I just don't understand how it's possible that this was necessary. Tactician is already so easy 90% of the time for me and I'm a mediocre player at best.
Oh sweet summer child, you vastly underestimate how bad some people are at virtually anything.

I read a reddit thread the other day of someone asking a simple question that could be answered by simply reading a tooltip. When people explained, he just kept asking 'why?' the deeper the conversation went, when every question he asked was literally explained in the next tooltip.

How some people manage to live without a voice whispering in their ears to breath in and out, is beyond me.
Could you link that thread?

I critisized Kingdom Come Deliverance for siding too much on the side of criminality but in restrospective that game was fucking Shakespeare compared to this. And imagine attempting to put a bromance like that of Harry and Hans Capon in a game like this without instantly devolving into gay sex, completely missing the point in the process.

I'm actually bored with this thing btw lmao.

The shit writing just killed it for me and it seems i can't muster the motivation to keep going.

I might try again once the definitive super duper edition is out but for now i'll have to call it quits.
The game is Pillows of Eternity level of blandness. I've reached Act 3 but I cannot take it anymore.

Act 3 has some bugs but overall it's remarkably polished for a modern game.
Sadly a 7/10 game is now considered a 10/10 revolutionary piece of work due to how awful the industry is right now.
edit: great patch, they fixed the performance issues seems like

"Over a thousand bugfixes" my ass. Reminder that these phoneys are fake hyping even early patches.

And nothing of note added. If patch 2 is really just performance instead of what they announced some days ago(actual community requests) then Swen deserves the rope.

With enough games behind your back, you can criticize a game you haven't played.

This is the 1.0 release. Any features will be months down the line.

Even the bugfinder games were released with actual ending implemented.

This is made even more egregious by the shitheads actually hyping "17000 ending variations" and a "15 minute epilogue" in the press just weeks before release.

you gotta really hate yourself if you spent this much time playing a game you dislike
If you've thrown tens upon tens of hours at something you might as well finish it off, some people are just completionists.

It really chafes your butthole doesn't it
No?
Let me reiterate it again for Redditbrained scumsuckers like you:
"Don't touch the poop" refers to continually doing so after a game has proven to be shit. This is the case for, say, Skyrim or Fallout 4 or CP77. BG3 is fairly new, although it IS reaching that state of poop-ness by now.

Im playing it because theres nothing else to play right now anyway and it at least manages to hold my attention, up until Act 3 at least. People - YOUR PEOPLE - claimed that playing Durge is "way better" so I tried that too but they were wrong obviously.

Everything I said would happen with the game has happened. Shit writing, falls apart by the third act, shit ruleset made shitter by Larian, journo and tranny pandering... It's all there.

There's something to be said when we, people with very different overall outlooks, come to the exact same conclusions regarding the game.

I killed everyone who annoyed me and now my campsite is empty. I think I broke half the questlines in my log and I'm only 20 hrs through Act I. Can't stomach any of the dialogue or the characters which is a shame because discovering dungeons and delving them is quite enjoyable but I can't do them solo.
