Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

              elden ring: not having fun coz I basically followed the walkthrough due to its difficulty
Baldur's Gate 3: too many choices and decisions to be made so couldn't play more than few hours each time and eventually burned out

Playing BG3 a few hours at a time is fine, if your normal gaming sessions last for a day or longer please consult a medical professional

Elden Ring yes, I've never in all my years experienced such a mismatch between how amazing everyone said a game was and the actual experience of trying to play it. It's not even about the difficulty, it just feels like I got thrown directly into the 20th hour of the game without any idea of what anything is or how it works or what I'm supposed to do

BG3 also, if you're into d&d it's probably amazing. But the learning curve is insane. Just so much niche stuff a non d&der would never think of.

I have never player a TTRPG before playing BG3 (so no DnD background) but I still had lots of fun, though it was kind of annoying seeing people criticise the game for being too easy, while it felt very hard to me.

It's only easy if you cheese it (or have it set to easy) I think. Ignore those people.

The 5e rules certainly make it a lot easier than most CRPGs, but if you're a newcomer to CRPGs I can still see it being difficult.
