I'd survive 37 seconds in that world.

Possibly less if there's grease on those stairs.

That's like six rounds of combat. Better than most NPCs

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Definitely less if I'm told to roll initiative.

We can't stop here, it's Mephit Country!

I actually have managed to successfully quit BG3 for months now.

(my computer can't run Act 3)

were you having trouble with the ghost house? they came out with some new patches.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

No, sadly, it's the whole of the city. Just lag everywhere, even with the options turned down.

I bought a new ROG laptop... Just for BG3. Well, it was time for a new one anyway, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I get it, I bought a new PS5 just for Diablo 4. But that game wasn't all that interesting after finishing the story, so I'm very glad my PS5 turned into a Baldur's Gate 3 machine.

This was my PS4Pro -- bought it for RDR2, but was a little disappointed. But man did I play a lot of No Man's Sky on it 😀

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

No kidding? RDR2 was the first game I actually finished since the original God of War. I loved that game. At least you found something else that you loved.

I put this game in the "top 5 games that I wish I liked" because I can see everyone having more fun with this game than I am.

Try it with a controller if you haven't already, it makes a huge difference.

Honestly, it's Divinity Original Sin in a D&D wrapper. Same shitty traps everywhere, same shitty environmental damage, same forced battles with enemies always having advantage, and lack of customization. I'm bored and barely done the first act.
