western programmers can't make games for poo poo, it's crazy. i guess id was doing a good job at qaqc and epic but the rest of these companies just don't give a gently caress but hell i guess they make a ton of money so maybe I'm the idiot

it always was. Fromsoft also uses their own engine and has incredibly janky Multiplayer compared to Taleworlds but its fine for them because precision japanese engineering or something.

I'm deciding whether I want Baldur's Gate 3 or Starfield. I usually don't like turn-based RPGs, and I love Bethesda games, but I hear good things about BG3. How does the party work in Baldur's Gate 3? Can I make an entirely custom party, or do I make one character and there are a bunch of named characters that can join me? Do I control everyone in the party, or do I control my character and the NPCs act for themselves?

you make one main protagonist (that can be one of the normal companions if you wish) who is the focus of the story but you control everyone in the party. you can also co-op and everyone plays their character independently

it's good you should get it

well elden ring crashed zero times for me whereas bg3 sometimes the map button just decides not to work or you can't move the cursor on dialog options or you tell someone to jump and not only do they not say "how high" they don't do a god damned thing. plus every menu is complete dogshit with input lag and a dozen bizarre decisions that make everything clunkier. and there's a button to make tooltips come up but half the time it doesn't do anything so you have to cycle it on and off. maybe it's europeans that're the problem
love the game though

hell if theyre saying they can do pirate installs you probably will just be able to do an api call with no cert or credential to add +installs to any game without even installing it
