...but I often find myself NEEDING TO CHECK EVERY LAST CRATE, BARREL, ETC.

It feels wrong to leave an area when you know there's that one you didn't check--PROBABLY it's just a rotten carrot, but you never know.

If it makes it any better at all, I found out at 1am yesterday that I can save before each and every dialogue option. And so many of them are so worth seeing that I can't stop.

Particularly with Astarion, since he's such a fabulous drama queen about everything that happens to him. I could be nice and curry favor with hands-down my most useful teammate like I actually want to do OR I could watch him throw a giant angry tantrum at me for "ruining his fun all the time" and demand to know whether I have "some sort of condition." I don't necessarily want the negative points on my file, but I know which one's funnier.

That is SO much fun. I try to not do it so future runs will still have new content. But it's HARD.

I'm not even sure I mind that, I would love to see that all over again. The acting and animation in this game are clear through the roof and my roommate has to be sick of hearing me praise it by now. I don't believe I've ever had trouble choosing a favorite before, or really so much to say about their individual behavior.

Tbf, I tend not to enjoy doing wildly different playthroughs because being (permanently) mean makes me feel bad. So I'm able to get half of it out of my system as it presents itself.

Not saying I don't heavily respect your plans. But it has to be awful. If I were religious, I might pray for your strength, lmao
