Good to hear. I always new the lie the AAA publishers push that no one wants single player rpgs anymore, but numbers like this prove it out. No AAA we aren’t skipping your games because we don’t want the stories m, we are just tired of spending $70 only to discover it is full of micro transactions, always online issues, and all the other AAA predatory tactics!

AND, didn't actually wrapping up the story, for sequel sake.

BG3 is so huge even if it's only the beginning arc(Larian tends to taper off at the end, lol), I had to "replay" some decision making and see how outcome and the exp net gain and to decide how I proceed.(yep I save scum, don't hate me I have limited time and want to explore content and choices to my desire outcome. Then my other play through I can be more free form, and I bet there are something I haven't seen yet from this good guy talk things out approach.)

Well deserved. Im in Act 3 and the game is phenomenal.

I took off Thursday - Friday to play and that's all I've done all weekend. Back at work now. :(

Wait, acts? Are there literally like title screens like "Act 2 - The bad thing happens" or do you just call it act three in a storytelling structure kind of thing? Because I played like 15 hours this weekend and only barely made it to the underdark for the first time (no idea how far into the game that is). Howlongtobeat said the main story takes like 24 hours so I figured I'm a good way through the game already.

Can't wait to get back to it

Underdark is still Act 1. You're on your way to the Act ending, but not quite there.

That's probably an estimate for Early Access. There's so much more to the game. You're just scratching the surface of the game :p

The no lifer, are you not married or have kids to tend to?

But I am glad that you literally can save anywhere(except cutscenes) and continue.

Yeah, I literally had the entire Sunday off to play with nothing (urgent) to do. Don't get many days like that though. Literally played for 13 hours yesterday
