BG3 Act 3 spoilers
Finally beat it today after figuring out that one can stop the ritual by pulling Astarion out of his spot with the “Help” action…

I’ll put it behind spoiler tags:
It’s the fight against Cazador. I can prevent him from doing anything by using Counterspell pretty easily, but I get swarmed by his minions and I do not have enough damage to kill him in the 3 turn limit anyway so he ascends.
Jumped into the newest patch and expedition of No Man’s Sky. Always good fun but after finishing the tasks of the expedition I always get bored very quickly. :D
In Baldur’s Gate 3 I’m stuck in a fight against a boss in act 3, always getting absolutely smashed even though I’m highest level and have (I think) decent equipment and spells. Haven’t found any guide that explains a way to deal with the fight in the intended way, everyone just says to cheese the fight which I’d like to honestly avoid. :/
The editor is in the game, no external tools needed.
I know the Enhanced Editions of BG1 and 2 allow you to choose from different scripts and there’s a few On/Off buttons, but nothing like the PoE editor where you could do things like “If 3 enemies stand around you, use this spell” or “If enemy is threatening an ally, use this ability on ally, but only if $resource is higher than x and only once every 30 seconds.”
Guild Wars for some nostalgia and Baldur’s Gate 3 (second playthrough).
I plan to start WH40k Rogue Trader when I’m done with BG3…so that could take a few weeks still :D
I had to start Pillars 1 multiple times until it clicked for me and I was able to finish it. It’s a good foundation that Pillars 2 very much improved on. A feature in 2 I absolutely love and wish more party-based games would include is the (albeit rudimentary) editor for the party behavior.
I often struggle controlling multiple units at once so that editor was a godsend for me! Too bad it’s the only game I can think of that has something like this. :(
Gonna go for a renegade run across all three just to see what happens lol
I told myself the same once but I just couldn’t do it. 😭
Baldur’s Gate 3 is my main game currently after taking a break from it for a while. If I just need something where I don’t have to think too much I boot up Risk of Rain Returns.
Also been in a kind of MMO mood recently so I tried out Neverwinter, World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV, but found myself not really having fun with those.
I played through NFS Heat which was more enjoyable than I had expected especially since I got it during the hefty 90% off sale recently.
Now I got a bit nostalgic and installed divine divinity again.
My experience with modding games while using Proton on Linux (without Workshop support): It’s atrocious, cumbersome and even outright does not work for some games because communities tend to build a Mod Manager (that then other mods start to hard depend on) that does not work in that environment at all. I’m at the point where I don’t even bother trying it out if there’s not workshop support.
The Oracle games are amazing, Oracle of Ages pulled young me into the Zelda series.
I’m currently switching between Armored Core 6, X4 Foundation and Baldur’s Gate 3, depending on my mood.
Armored Core 6, first time I’m playing a game of the series and it’s kicking my ass! But it’s fun and has a really great atmosphere and setting.
I’m on my second playthrough of Baldurs Gate 3, this time with a Dragonborn Fighter ( Half Elf Gloomstalker was my first ). I’m still not sick of the game even if I already have 100 hours in it.
Also picked up Remnant From the Ashes to play together with my SO. So far it’s a fun game even if the story is still very confusing and we had trouble joining each others session. Had to set the session to public, Friends Only didn’t work. Thankfully it is possible to change it back to Friends Only afterwards.
Neverwinter Nights (the first one) and Heroes of Might and Magic (3 and 4). They’re just so comfortable for me to play so I just start them up when I’m to stressed out to play anything new.
