I’ve used AirVPN for years. Works great

Buggiest and one of the best written. RPGs need high quality writing.

Never said it was perfect, but the game got great reviews and won a bunch of awards because it’s good despite the bugs.

This comment is 100% on-point, I’m just here to address a pet peeve: Queue = a line that you wait in, like waiting to checkout at the store Cue = something that sets off something else, e.g. “when Jimmy says his line, that’s your cue to enter stage left”

So when you said:

Queue BG3, where Larian got added money from Wizards of the Coast that they could invest into the graphics.

What you meant was:

Trogdor ended up being the big bad of my brother-in-law’s homebrew campaign that he ran for our family D&D group

Not just multiplayer-inspired. Fully multiplayer start to finish, if you want

Plenty of communities in that vein overe here on lemmy.sdf.org

D&D itself is close to the highest popularity it’s ever been at (I suppose with this game now it is at the peak), what with the movie having brought mainstream attention to it and Critical Role and other actual play shows bringing buckets of attention to the game/TTRPG hobby over the last 8ish years.

Not to mention it’s in 28 parts if you’re downloading the standalone installer and not using Galaxy.

Copying my previous comment from Sunday:

Played it all day yesterday. It still has some bugs and if you play co-op you should do it in a separate save file because you can’t ever remove your offline friends’ characters from your party, but at a mechanical level, the game is a masterpiece.

It’s D&D 5e translated with extreme loving detail into a video game. Conversation is nearly as engaging as combat and many of the NPCs have massive dialogue trees, all fully voiced. You can switch between using a controller to directly control your character or using the traditional keyboard and mouse controls like the older Baldurs Gate games.

Hells, the character creator is probably worthy of an award by itself

I’m now 38 hours in and my opinions are basically the same, though I will add that I love how fast they’ve been patching it. If Larian ever release DLC or expansions for this game I’d expect them to be the best goddamned expansions I’ve seen in at least the last 10 years.

I’m really hoping it’s reasonably moddable because I’ve little doubt the community would love to mod entire custom campaigns into this engine.

It’s D&D.

Do you like D&D? If so, yes. If not, no.

That’s true of D&D in general. Like yes, technically there’s a main quest, but honestly they all kinda intertwine in a big plot soup.

No wonder there’s 17,000 endings.

I switched from using Lutris to using Heroic for my GoG/Epic games. Works perfectly for me. When in doubt, Heroic with the latest Proton-GE plays basically any Windows game, and for GoG it handles the native Linux download/install way more consistently than Lutris and its pile of crowdsourced scripts.

Linux with 6.1 kernel and Kisask-Mesa drivers on an RX 6700XT: Vulkan works better with fewer crashes/glitches for me. Also seems to load a little faster, but that could just be because I’ve used it more so there’s more cached shaders.

As someone who’s played Duskers and 5D Chess (there’s a league on the Discord!), those two games are phenomenal. I’ll definitely play the rest

Not quite the same thing, but Project '06 is a ground-up fan remake of Sonic '06 in Unity engine that’s actually fun to play
