Thanks. That, together with what Elk said, gives me motivation to try to continue until I reach the city itself, because as I said in another thread, it has become a bit disheartening to see how I begin to grow tired of games lately, and I don't want to stop playing stuff entirely. But if...

Thank you for the warning. So if the alternatives are either spending a lot of time learning in Kingmaker to be able to thrive in WotR at the risk of burning out, or reading and looking up an awful lot of stuff, I think I'll pass for now. Sadly I seem to burn out at or get tired...

Of course. Thanks for your insight, especially the comparison to BG1/TotSC and BG2/ToB. I personally like BG2 more than 1 because of the companion interactions and preferring the variety of higher level play, but both parts have their merit. I also like continuity, and wouldn't want to play...

I guess I'll just keep going then until I get through that part, I was a bit worried the whole game was going to be like this from now on. I liked the half wilderness areas a lot more. But good to know the fortress and the city proper don't feel like that.

I don't know what's wrong with me but since I've reached Wyrm's Crossing I'm not in the mood to continue. I can't even really say why. Maneuvering between and in all those buildings makes exploration less fun to me, with all the camera and pathfinding stuff I mentioned before. Also, there are...

So their chance doesn't affect my kills but my chance affects their kills? Sounds a bit counterintuitive and also difficult to control who kills especially on a ranged character, but I guess I'll figure it out. Right now I don't have items with magic find chances anyway, but good to know, thanks.

- a barrel of Stout - a big stack of Time Stop scrolls with a duration of several hours each instead of just seconds - a very convincing speech, song or poem of why I should use the time for that game instead of other ones

So it seems I got a mercenary following me around. Is there any disadvantage to keeping them, like sharing XP or something? Are they worth being equipped with better spare stuff before I sell it?

Ah, thanks, what I meant was more like how do I recognize what is part of a set item, are they always golden too and do they have special names, that kind of thing. Until now I have sold every blue weapon or armor piece that's not relevant for my current character.

That does NOT sound like my idea of fun. For now I'm still switching between D2R, BG3, Stray Gods and ESO anyway. Definitely won't touch WotR before finishing BG3.

So are set items always unique items too? Having a cross-character stash hopefully won't turn me into a hoarder keeping everything that looks remotely useful...

That's only 10 planetary rotations where you come from, isn't it? I don't think I'd want to play higher difficulties especially on a first attempt, unless I realize I get very bored. I've heard about the prebuffing though, so I appreciate the advice.

I bought WotR today during the Steam Autumn Sale because it was 70% off. No idea when I'll get to play it and if I should play Kingmaker first, but I wanted to have it in my library so that I can use the opportunity to try it when I feel like it. Added to the "some day" list...

That reminds me that I really need to play Portal 2...

To clarify: Do you mean having played the game is not a hard requirement, or owning it? Because it simply didn't occur to me to check beyond the suggested games that I have played. VR, Better with friends, and Steam Deck are out either way because no idea.

Game of the Year - Baldur's Gate 3 Best Soundtrack - Stray Gods for the rest of the categories I have very little options to choose from, not sure if I'm going to vote there at all.

Hey, only level 5 and my first unique item! I'm not going to use a club but it's nice anyway, even if I sold it. It only occurred to me later that I could have kept it at the stash in camp, should I do that with cool stuff in the future? Is it cross-character? Or does it only make sense to...

I hope Amazon is a valid choice for melee now that I opted for javelin/spear instead of bow. I don't think I like throwing javelin much, the projectiles are so slow that critters easily avoid them unless I'm close.

Ah so the two weapon slots are more to be used like "spear with x bonus" and "spear with y bonus" than with two different weapon types?
