I swear, if M12 has a long-haired martial artist with DID ... I'm gonna laugh.

After the successes of D:OS2 and BG3, hopes were very high for D:OS3, but ... this really did cause that to all come crumbling down.

Kind of makes me glad that development on BG3 has pretty much stopped.
Has there ever been a case where a company says "We're not using Gen AI for our flagship title!" that wasn't a bald-faced lie?

I love this so much ... I've been asking for a more convenient way to store Artifact armors for a LONG time.
For SHB and STB, it seems you have to complete those respective armor sets through Bozja and Eureka respectively before they become Outfit-ready.

Never played it, never engaged with it in any way, never bothered.

To me, it felt like that whole sequence of events (bleeding into HW as well) posed the question: "Are you this good because you're Hydaelyn's champion, or in spite of it?"
It felt like we as the player got to decide for ourselves how to view that connection.
(Sorry for the thread, lol)

I don't really like super cliche "Chosen One" stories unless they do something unique with it.
Until Elpis, the story builds you up as this prodigal combatant, even compared to others with the echo, especially when Midgardsormr seals our connection to Hydaelyn, testing us on our own merit.

It was more as a setup to frame that idea.
To me, the concept of Dynamis fueling the WoL's successes, combined with the fact the events in Elpis explaining why our character is the WoL, really detracted from the character's own agency.

Yeah, but that's just less fun. I've never liked the whole "WoL is stronger because of the power of friendship through dynamis" trope, because it feels too convenient.
I enjoy the idea that they work hard to maintain their skills, and even without the Echo, are a prodigious fighter because of that.

We're not really getting "stronger" in a conventional sense, but instead the WoL is always improving the mastery over their own aether, and weaving it to produce stronger effects, with less waste.
Meanwhile, the ancients with insane reservoirs of aether, have never had to contend with that problem.

Mood. I’ve tried several times to do the evil Dark Urge run of BG3, never made it out of Act 1.
Redemption Durge? Full playthrough, every time.

Honestly, it's disgusting.
Just because it's a digital avatar doesn't give people the right to make those kind of comments. I can only speak for myself, but stuff like that, directed at me, makes me really uncomfortable.
It's one thing if it's with a friend you trust, but randos? Hell no!

To be fair though ... people look at Pagos and act like it's the worst thing in gaming, so ...
