    Looking forward to playing the full game. I stopped spending time with the pre-release version to not get burnt out ahead of time.

    makes sense, baldurs gate hits similar audience to starfield. Although I wonder if their release will be that big anyways, since their early access was so polished based on the reviews, many people got it

    So excited for this game. I still play BG1 & 2 occasionally, as well as some of the others (IWD, NWN), and they still hold up to this day. Incredible storytelling.

    I also wish they would release a port of Pool of Radiance. I know it’s mostly just a grinding game, but so much fun.

      You mean Ruins of Myth Drannor from 2001, not the older one by SSI?

      I remember I really tried to give that game a chance back then, but after a while I just gave up.

      The first part with those mindless dungeon levels bore me to hell. The worst part about them were the dozens of zombies, that visually moved ultra-slow but somehow could cross the whole screen in one turn, making every fight take ages. And then when I finally got to the town after hours, finally met a few NPCs, it seemed like things might become slightly interesting… And then a cutscene makes the game crash. Absolutely no way to go farther than that.

      Rarely have I been more frustrated by a game.

        That’s the one! Lol, the ridiculous grinding in that game… I don’t even remember any actual story (I’m sure there was, but still).

        It’s weird how much I disliked it when I first played it, but now I have sort of nostalgia for it.
