If we got another NWN I would give just about anything for a slightly lower fidelity game with a suite of module making tools like the first one had. Some of my fondest memories were browsing the old Vault website and popping into dinky persistent online worlds with esoteric roleplaying requirements. That little universe was such a wonderful and fascinating one.
From a few pages back but... FYI NWN is still very much alive, bizarrely and amazingly enough. The Enhanced Edition was released in 2018, and it's still being patched and updated (which is mad). There are a huge number of of persistent worlds and a good number of them have an absolute ton of players.
Also the game can look kind of... good(ish) now? Some screenies for proof: https://www.alfanwn1.org/gallery/

Are there any good beginner guides for BG3 on Xbox?

Google throws up so many trash results.

Pretty exhaustive but you can just keep the video open in another tab and click on a section whenever you have a question about how stuff works.

GameFAQs never died but it has been bought out by Fandom in October 2022 :negative: Good text guides are also plenty, but of course "I miss text guides" is code for "I miss getting more into games" and that's just growing older

It's true. Gamefaqs for the late 30s crowd is doing your taxes / health insurance stuff.

When will you be able to point an ai at a video and have it spit out a nicely formatted article with screen cap pictures!!

That sounds like an actually useful feature. Not a transcript but if it can summarize without ums and ahs etc.

There’s plenty of text guides. But much like recipes, they’re now SEO’d to hell before you can actually get the answer you need.

I too would love to know the hidden repository of good text guides because it sure as gently caress isn't Gamefaqs.

Even the BG3 link there is nothing but a bunch of different class guides.

I like IGN walkthroughs. Mostly text based with screenshots and embedded video bits. Entire thing broken out as a wiki with links for individual missions: https://www.ign.com/wikis/final-fantasy-16/Walkthrough

In my experience Neoseeker, gamepressure and Samurai Gamers are good sources for text guides. Certainly better than most of the clickbait stuff out there.

On the surface, some of these sites might look like SEO nightmares (I guess you can't blame them) but I've found very useful guides in all these places that don't require me to navigate through hundreds of YT videos to find specific pieces of info, and these sites also don't have autoplaying videos for unrelated stuff or AI chatbots that attempt to start conversations with you.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Honestly as much as it sucks, Reddit is often the best repository for that kind of info. I usually search for something like “bg3 best wizard cantrips reddit”, and then just read through the comments. At least if someone gives lovely info they get challenged or downvoted, and the responses aren’t SEO-gamed to hell

Xbox on Twitter posted:

Xbox is aware of a problem that can cause players to lose saved progress in Baldur’s Gate 3. In order to avoid this issue players should save their game and then return to the Xbox dashboard and select “Quit Game” or “Save to Quick Resume” from the game menu (Home, Game, Select, and then choose "Save to Quick Resume" or "Quit") when they finish playing. Users should not disconnect their console from the power. Users should select “shut down” from the console menu and leave their Xbox connected to power. We are working to fix this ASAP.
