Gonna have to wait until after BG3!

That's a solid list, though I'm surprised to see Pillars up there. Gave both 1 and 2 really serious tries, tens of hours each, and just couldn't get through them. Flat characters and uninspired world, I felt. I even like Critical Role but found their performance in PoE2 phoned in.

Both of my playthroughs were completed before that feature was added.

Personal taste is always a factor. I'm curious, though - which CRPGs do you consider less tedious/more interesting?

How quickly gear became obsolete in DOS2 is a super valid criticism. No loot, no matter how unique, ever felt special because you knew as soon as you leveled up there'd be better at the merchants.

Since Baldur's Gate 3 is built on a framework of D&D 5e, however, there should be a lot less shopping - upgrades are rare in 5th edition and almost always found while adventuring instead of bought from stores. Good news for anyone who hates shopping!

To the Moon is both one of a very few games to ever make me cry, and the only game to ever make me ugly cry. I'm talking full-on runny nose, the works. The final 10% of that game is devastating.

I stopped giving my characters alignments after 5e came out, and I've never once missed them. Safe to say by this point I never will. Good on Larian.

It's not an all or none thing, either. You don't need to sell your car and swear off animal products - even small changes help. Pick one place you normally drive to and try biking there or taking public transportation instead. Give up beef but keep eating chicken etc. You can make a difference without doing a total 180 - and you might even feel healthier for your trouble.

Was he chittering, too? My cat makes exactly the same face hahah

Best one I've seen yet. Wefwef really needs a new icon yesterday.

Yarp. I have a pair of shorts I wear around the house, no belt no problem. The moment I put anything in a pocket, though? They'll be 'round my knees if I don't watch out!

Mechwarrior 5! I've always liked the series, but this one fell off my radar with an Epic exclusive deal that also had some pretty big problems at launch. It looks like it's in a good place now, though, so I'm looking forward to exploring the coop with a friend.
