Fortnite seems fun. Played a few matches with one of the Mega64 guys. We won but I think it was against bots so I will not be claiming gamer cred for that

I haven't triggered any polycule plotlines in Baldurs Gate yet so I must not be very far but I am enjoying it. Made a necromancer because necromancers own but haven't really unlocked any cool necromancer stuff yet

Real time with pause is an unplayable mess and I'm so glad they didn't go with it.

Skill issue (that I agree with)

RTWP is a godsend for trash fights though. Haven't noticed any in Baldurs Gate 3 yet but imagining Pathfinder without the seamless toggle and shuddering. Pillars 2 being strictly one or the other was bad enough

There is an issue in the 80s that has a reporter confronting Bruce Wayne about his fortune being built on arms manufacturing.

can you not kill the goblins. i generally get along with goblins

I think so yeah, you can use parasite powers (not collecting rent cheques, the tadpole mind control thing) to walk around peacefully in all their camps and I got an option to side with the drow at the druid hangout fight. Didn't take it because the party member who seems to worship an evil god thought I was hosed up and switched sides though. Don't know it gets all 'but thou must' after that

Siding with the goblins and attacking the druids felt really messed up in a good way lol. Really just miserable evil poo poo. Was shocked they didn't let me Anakin Skywalker that cave full of kids myself. One of the few times in RPGs where being a bad guy actually felt good

you get to whip out insanely sick evil lines on the guy you betray to his face at the gate. as dark urge you get to pwn a child when you first walk into kahga's room or w/e then dunk on their parents. also as dark urge (think anybody can do it but dark urge gets the hilarious jack the ripper dialogue) theres a graveyard of ppl that end up dying in the druid place and you can desecrate their graves lmfao.

I can’t believe drow are still a thing. yes their current origin story is not pure racism but their original story sure was (they became evil so their skin color turned dark). should just remove them from the setting entirely imo.

True but also you get a lot of very funny evil dialogue as drow so I guess racism ftw? Disappointed but what can you do
