It varies depending on the drugs used, I've been under multiple times now, the big one being for an open heart bypass.

That one I saw nothing, felt nothing, but coming out of it I remember them pulling out the breathing tube and putting me on a bi-pap machine. I had to beg to be taken off of it because it was stopping me from exhaling. I could breathe in fine, but the back pressure wouldn't let me breathe out.

Then the drugs, it was a combination of a bunch of things, propofol (the stuff that killed Michael Jackson), fentanyl (the stuff that killed Prince). Oxy, the works.

I was having weird hallucinations. If I closed my eyes, I could see a perfectly painted brick wall about a foot in front of my face. I could see the detail on the bricks and the mortar, the texture of the paint. Bonus - every time they put me in a different room, the wall would change color.

Choices like this is why I gave up on Disco Elysium.

Honestly, it depends on how aware you are of fantasy tropes. I found the DA games to be utterly boring and predictible point for point, and I'd be sitting there going "Oh, this is where X is going to happen..." and sure enough...

If you haven't played a lot of fantasy games or read a lot of fantasy fiction, they're probably fine... I found them annoying.

Spoilers, probably:

Destiny players are the worst... "We need more vault space!" No, you need to learn to let go. Why do you "need" 14 different kinetic Scout Rifles. Pro-tip - YOU DON'T. I'll make an exception for elemental weapons, it makes sense to have one for each element. But other than that? Nope!
