Choices don’t matter much in ESO, but the game does do consequences better than I expected it would (but my bar was pretty low). I like how towns folk will comment on deeds you have done(quests you’ve completed). And there are areas where you can clean the bad guys out and it’s friendly from then on (though that’s…

Could have been Jack and Jackie.

What do you think I said?

I feel like one of the big rules the movie tried to establish is that new branches are only created when an infinity stone leaves the timeline. If a stone was returned to the point it was taken, the new branch is erased. So Captain America always fought himself for the staff (he and Hydra just believed it was Loki) So…

What?

So Billy Blaze grew up and named his twin children Billy and Billie?

I haven’t had my mind blown has hard in a very long while as it had just been blown watching that Secret of the Oracle video showing a secret area/exit in the very first level. My world is shook.

I never considered non-player characters to be a defining characteristic of role playing games. Expected, maybe, like how I might expect a restaurant to have a bathroom, but it isn’t the bathroom that make it a restaurant.

Well, something happened in Appalachia that made all humans and non-feral ghouls disappear. There are robots scattered across the land, but most of them aren’t very chatty, and the few that are, mostly monologue at you. The world is also littered with holotapes and terminal entries that tell the story of what happened…

It’s like the say-- it’s better to burn out, than fade away!

Whitaker plays Saw Gerrera in Rogue One. It would be worse to have the character look like someone else. It would be like having an Indiana Jones game where Indy didn’t look like Harrison Ford.

The question is really, is this a marketing decision, or is it a meaningful sequel? If the only reason they’re not calling it Baldur’s Gate: Oh Shit, Mindflayers! is because there’d be less hype and sales then if they called it Baldur’s Gate 3...

the PC either destroys the throne of Bhaal, which eliminates the office outright

You are correct!

Yup, I just read that, too! That, honestly, was not one of my guesses, as I never looked very closely at Spelljammer. Pretty cool.

The Baldur’s Gate games exist within a bigger world that kept developing. About a 120 years after the beginning of the first Baldur’s Gate game, the last Bhaalspawn died, which allowed Bhaal to reconstitute himself and reassert himself as the god of murder. I kind of expect this game to have something to do with…

Seems as though the villain isn’t just an illithid. Took about four viewing to notice this.

Goddamn, that Gambit, though.

Is the 2D-ness that big of an issue for you? I thought Kingdom Hearts picked up the mantle of that kind of game.

Well, I was mad that it had nothing to do with Led Zeppelin!
