Bethesda's latest can't help but feel shallow by comparison.

The ambiguity of dialogue choices evens out as Harry recovers from his hangover but never completely goes away which honestly is part of the magic for me. Never being 100 percent certain what he's gonna do and sort of trying to nudge him along in the right direction is the game. But it's not a traditional RPG and nowhere near as deep mechanicall as BG3. It's just really good in it's own way. I also had a lot of interest in the politics of the game and a personal battle with drugs and alcohol in my life so it may have resonated more with me as well.

See, that was my problem. I would never choose to play as a brain damaged wasteoid, but that was the ONLY choice in that game.

So bad that I went online and was like "Sooo... did I fuck up my starting stats? Is this my fault the dialog choices are this bad?"

Nope, just the way the game is... Time for the game to go away. Which is bizarre because I had heard so much good stuff about it.
