Would you say that Baldur's Gate III is worth buying during early access?

i am not going to show you the absurd amount of hours i have poured into the game thus far, anon, BUT as much as i want to say yes because of that, it would entirely depend on what you are looking for as an experience.

bg3 gives you a lot to enjoy, but it's by no means a finished product. there's bugs, there's underdeveloped characters, there's questlines that remain open-ended for now, there's a limited space to explore and you will run into dead ends, there's some jank, there might be changes that you like and changes that you won't like down the line as it is still developed.

larian is relatively silent about their development with the exception of streaming their panels from hell every few months or so. there is no road map. a release date is set tentatively for sometime next year.

you also have to keep in mind that you are paying the price for the full game in advance. it is 60 bucks even for early access right now.

if you are ok with that, there is a lot to enjoy, however:

you get a relatively expansive character creator with different races, classes, background, voices and, of course, various cosmetical options -- and there's still more coming.

the companions in bg3 are all very distinct and unique, most of them from what we have at the moment are well-written and fleshed out, revealing their motivations, the beginnings of their quest and the beginning of their friendship/romance paths. the voice actors across the board are amazing and, what i love most, is that they all have their own unique body language.

that attention to detail is something you find along the entirey of the early access.

i don't want to spoil plot points for you so i will only say that the early access sets up a lot of intriguing plot points that i hope we can fully follow up and explore once the game is released in its entirety.

the turn-based combat itself is fun for me and very complex, it allows for a lot of freedom to think and decide how you defeat an enemy, but the expansive dialogue options also allow you to avoid many fights if you are so inclined.

there is a lot to explore and, what's more, your exploration will be rewarded.

what also may be important is that you do not need to have played the previous games to understand or get into this one. it certainly hopes, but it's not necessary.

overall, like i said, i, personally, would whole-heartedly recommend it, but it depends on what you expect from it. there are many pros and cons to be had here.

still, i hope that helps! 🖤

ps: i found this spoiler-free before you buy vid you could watch if you're interested! it's a bit outdated, but overall still a good way to get a glimpse and perhaps make up your mind.

I get in moods where I wish I could just go mute for a while. Just…be quiet and not have to speak. Not have to explain, or rationalize my every actions. Not have to react to what anyone says. It’s all so exhausting and I just want a week off from speaking and to try and get back in touch with my voice

in order to keep my home, i have to raise $100 daily and pay it to management. the office is closed on sundays (today), but they are open monday - saturday. i need any and all help with this. i have been trying to do this for months, this is a last ditch effort/attempt. i have an upcoming colonoscopy & then my top surgery consultation is in june (& then the surgery itself is six to seven months from after that appointment). top surgery also depends on the results from my CT Scan and colonoscopy. toes crossed everyone, i am so close to the finish line.

this is my paypal link: you can donate here.

$0/100 - March 24th

i have 3k+ in arrears. for every $100 paid, i will be posting the receipts to show the amount going down. this really needs to get paid! received a notice at my door today (a reminder notice, which gives me about two weeks to really pay some of this down). for every $100 not raised, it will get tacked onto the next day & so on and so forth.

ANY and ALL help is greatly appreciated.

🙏 please help me & my furbabs keep a roof during this time. my name-day is also coming up on April 10th and it would be super awesome to see this get paid to some degree 🩷🩵

The "golden child" in a "black sheep"/"golden child" abuse dynamic *is also being abused*. Always. Children don't have any culpability in a parent or authority figure pitting them against each other like that. They're children.

It disturbs me that, with both Adora and Catra on She-ra and Zuko and Azula on ATLA, grown adults will refuse to acknowledge this basic fact.

an anon asked me for my favourite mods and i'll definitely make a list with screenshots and/or gifs soon!

Felt at peace today for the first time in what feels like a decade…idk tho, more realistically it’s probably just been a few years. I did have some peaceful times at college despite my suffering. I think. Like when I sat in a big tree with my two friends and then it started to rain while we were in the tree. That was nice. And then we stayed a bit because it was light rain, but as we left it picked up and it poured and poured and we ran for it and got soaked, but when you get soaked by the rain with your friends that you love, after you’ve just spent time in a tree together, well, it feels nice. That’s the kind of life I want. I want to spend it with people that make what could be a miserable circumstance into something nice. I’ve since lost touched with those friends mostly. It’s not the same now. One just became a parent. One I haven’t talked to since before the pandemic. We scattered like leaves falling off a tree; maybe off of the tree we all sat in together. I have a picture from that day. I’m going to go find it after writing this post.

Anyway, feeling at peace. It was so strange. It was so serene. I kinda feel it now. Anxiety lingers, I won’t lie. It’s always at the ready. But mostly I just feel peace. It washes over me, as the poets say. It really does though. It’s mid September exactly—the 15th. My window has been open for days. The weather is immaculate—I adore the changing of the seasons more than almost anything in the world. Especially summer to fall and winter to spring. A rebirth and a death. But this death comes with the promise of rebirth, and the rebirth comes with the promise of an ending. I just love when the weather breaks. It stays the same for so long, so hot or so cold for so long, and then there’s a few weeks’ time where it breaks into something magical. I wish we could have it all the time. But not really because I really do love the snow and frost. And I really do love the summer sun. But this time of year is my favorite, this and winter/spring. I was at peace just laying on my bed as the window washed beautiful air onto me. I’m finally learning to let go of all the pressure I put on myself. I’m finally free from the guilt of not talking to a friend all summer (they never faulted me at all, knew I needed space). I am not used to such kindness from friends, I guess that’s not true though. I have had some really good friends for a while now but the trauma of having bad friends and really really low self esteem lingers. It has been lingering for years. I think it’s finally starting to leave for real. No more impossible pressure to be the perfect friend, or the perfect student. There are no right ways to do things. That fact frustrates me endlessly but it is the key that will free me from the prison of perfectionism. I didn’t realize that all this time I could be at peace; I guess I just assumed I’d always be tense and anxious and stressed but just less so. I didn’t realize that I can live without it consuming my life. I thought everybody did this. I thought that learning meant hurting, misery, and pushing through those feelings, and then you’d be learned. I didn’t realize it could be relaxing and fun. Or at the very least—chill. I’m feeling some anxiety creep back so I’m going to stop now. I’m going to go find some more peace.

Me seeing piles of disco elysium posts over the years: wow this Kim guy really has everyone in an absolute death grip huh

Me actually playing disco elysium: they were right. I understand now. I must get a good grade in Kim, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve
