09.14.23 | What race/class ya'll playing?
I have three concurrent playthroughs due to playing with some different people and solo:
Tiefling Cleric, Trickery Domain
Half-elf Sorcerer, Wild Magic
High elf Rogue, Thief |
Veldin
09.15.23 | Human Bard, College of Swords
40 hours in and recently started Act 2. I know nothing of D&D but I’m having so much fun with this game. I’m excited for when my two buddies get the game so we can play together. Will probably try Druid for that playthrough |

09.15.23 | goty
wood elf, wizard necromancer |
MeatSalad
09.15.23 | I went as vanilla as possible for first playthrough and did a human oath of ancients paladin. Divine smite spam and holy righteousness is the only strategy |
heyadam
09.15.23 | Divine smite is hilariously strong - there was a certain enemy Paladin in Act 1 that fucked me up bad the first time I tried the encounter haha.
Def goty for me as well. Can’t wait to get to the titular city haha, but I’m sure it’ll be a while bc I’m still running around this damn beginning forest |

09.15.23 | Yeah, it’s sick.
Been playing a drow mage with my wife who’s playing a wood elf ranger |

09.15.23 | its great but im also sick of every game being like 150gb to download! |

09.15.23 | Not once, but twice! |
heyadam
09.15.23 | pizza you already KNOW
and @samwise, just buy a ps5 and play the less optimized version so you can save 40gbs haha. I don't have a PC, but it's surprisingly intuitive so far on the ps5. Had to mess around to figure out how to set up reactions, but other than that it's been smooooth |
heyadam
09.15.23 | @botb hell yeah -- what npcs are you using to fill out the party? the co-op is so much fun tbh. |
pizzamachine
09.15.23 | Damn right I know |
Trebor.
09.15.23 | Lies of P bout to come out |

lol dude i saw so many reviewers and players saying act 1 is like 30-40 hours long... i finished it at like 67 hours. did everything that i could and did a lot of experimenting. idk, maybe i'm just a way slower player than most. act 2 also has a ton of stuff to do and i'm sitting at around 110 hours total playtime atm. |

09.15.23 | Playing Resident Evil 4 rn and will probably play the Cyberpunk DLC first, but I def plan on really diving into this game soon despite not really being a huge fan of CRPGs. Should I just play on the easiest difficulty and push through the gameplay segments for the story and decision making? |
Gyromania
09.15.23 | you don't need to play it on the easiest difficulty, med isn't insanely difficult. this is one of those games where i'd recommend it to people who aren't even fans of CRPGs, it's just super accessible and hard to put down. and re:Cyberpunk, i'm sort of leaning towards getting this game now. it took a while for CDPR to iron out some of the more egregious bugs of Witcher 3 and properly optimize it, but that game is more of less perfect now. Cyberpunk seemed like one of those games that would inevitably need time in the oven before it's actually worth playing |
heyadam
09.15.23 | @gyro I feel you, I bet I could probably get close to that as well in my solo playthrough. Can't wait to see where the story goes from here tbh!
@wildcard sounds like a good option! It's definitely a CRPG, and combat can be a learning curve if you don't play D&D or don't like crpg combat in general, but the encounters can actually be super fun and rewarding just because of the many different ways you can approach things |
heyadam
09.15.23 | @trebor Lies of P honestly looks like a game I'd love to watch someone play but would be awful at playing personally lol |

09.16.23 | @gyro
I liked it when it came out tbh, and I’ve heard it’s only gotten better since then. I’d wait for the DLC for sure tho, it sounds like a lot of content and they’re patching even more fixes along with it. |
Deathconscious
09.16.23 | On the final stretch of Divinity Original Sin II. BGIII looks like a sequel to DOSII, and im totally fine with that. Super stoked for it. |
heyadam
09.16.23 | I'm heavily considered putting two levels into fighter (as a sorcerer) so I can get action surge and potentially throw three fuckin fireballs in one turn hahaha.
@death It has a lot of similarities to Div (obvi), but I'm also glad it feels distinct enough to be it's own thing. What kind of build you think you'll try in BG3?

botb
09.16.23 | We’re in like act 2 so not super far but we’ve been running karlach and shadowheart mostly or the vamp guy if we need to get rid of traps or lock locks |
heyadam
09.16.23 | haha I'm still in act one of all my playthroughs. My main co-op one has Karlach to fill the gap and she's so good. Can't wait to get her to be able to multiattack |
