New thread! Whatch'a all playing!

I have been playing Blasphemous 2! Its really good so far. I think if you're a fan of the first there's nothing to dislike here (so far)

Trying to get into Baldurs Gate 3. Never played the original games, never played D&D, and this is the first hardcore RPG of this sort I've played in awhile.

It is a bit of a struggle - the game is intimidatingly big and deep. I am also having troubles wrapping my head around the battle systems, and the random skill checks really don't make much sense to me (am I expected to save scam in this game?)

But all that seems to be a question of habit. I went into the game for the joy of exploration and discovery, and I hope to lose myself in it very soon.

Nice! I'm not too far off that, but I have a touch of experience with DnD and played the first Divinity game for a few hours (before losing interest). REALLY enjoying BG3 so far. It's miles beyond that first game, which was a bit jenky and not as well written.

Save scumming required? no not at all. It's a DnD style game, so the way the quests play out will change but barring a full party wipe you shouldn't need to reload much. But do I save scum to get better roles so I can loot the chest? absolutely.
