    It continues to have strong player numbers in general, which is probably why it never goes on a decent sale. Best I’ve seen is 25% off launch price. My patient gamer ass is not paying that for a years old game, no matter how good it is.

    After having watched me play BG3 solo for 2,100 hours (with occasional breaks for other games, obviously) my spouse suddenly decided they want to play BG3 with me. They’re not a gamer and we’ve never played a video game together before for more than a half hour. Now we’re on our second multiplayer playthrough.

    I’m so happy about the sudden interest and their sincere investment, and I don’t want to break the spell, but honestly I was kind of ready to play something else. 😆

      I feel this. My spouse and my brother are both autistic, and they’ve decided BG3 is their comfort game. At least three nights per week, for coming up on three years, we sit down and play it together for a couple of hours.

      I’m glad my partner and my brother get along and have fun, but FFS, let’s play anything else.

        artyom@piefed.social too (is this how you tag people on lemmy? - no it’s not, help lol)

        Are your SSD’s nearly full by any chance? Could that be messing your performance up?

          Not even close. I understand that some people find it playable; I said for me. It’s a desktop only title. I didn’t like the controls on deck either.

    206.3 hours for me, I’m only halfway through the achievements and I am on my way up to the giant brain for the first time.

    spoiler

    I’m really pissed that I had to become a tentacle monster to take on the brain. (Not sure if different choices would have changed the outcome.)

      Absolutely could make different choices. There’s… a lot of different ways for the game to end.
