For those interested in the latest big RPG from Larian Studios, here’s my quick initial report on Baldur’s Gate 3 running on Steam Deck and desktop Linux.

    I might get it, I’m not sure. Some of the press info turned me off it. Like custom genitals and the bear sex. It just seemed unnecessary and strange. I don’t do romance in games, so when it seems like there’s special attention to it, it just kinda turns me off it. But, I do like fantasy rpgs. I played around 4 or 5 hours of divinity original sin 1 and 2. I really liked those, so maybe I’ll get this since it seems like they’re biggest effort yet.

      Everything is optional and your choice. Don’t romance anyone or do, your choice. Show genitals or don’t, your choice. The Druid wearing a bear form is a choice too. This game is great because of all the choice and how many different outcomes a quest could have, or many different ways to solve a problem. Will I romance a guy wearing a bear form, no. But I’m glad it’s there if others want to.

      I’m old and it reminds me of the marijuana debate. I’ll never smoke marijuana (I think all smoking is bad for you) but I don’t care of other do. I’ll vote to make it legal even though it’s not for me. Why force my beliefs on others. Seems un-American.

      Time to explore that camp I found just before bed last night.
