General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

[Resardiv]

I've come to appreciate PoE more after playing through BG3.
It's rough around the edges and clunky in more than one instance, but has great depth for an RPG, both in gameplay and themes.

That being said, I recall White March part II being kinda meh.

I have yet to play BG3, but that's great to hear.
So far, I've enjoyed the depth of different cultures in Poe. The premise of Hollowborn and the general theme struck a cord with me.

BG3 is far suprerior in terms of combat and obvious technical advancements, but has a lot more simpler and straightforward story. It's more BG simply put, while PoE has shades of PST on it.

That being said, PoE kinda overstays its welcome at some point, with its somewhat uneven/slow pacing and occasional unnecessary walls of text.
Also I found those backer NPCs, although a minor detail, to be very annoying.

I agree! I stopped reading the backer-npcs after I left Gilded vale, they add nothing. Thankfully a lot of the reading is optional, as you said, too many walls of texts.

Luckily it is quite obvious which ones are backer NPCs, but the fact that 90% of them are colorful Godlikes is annoying on its own.

The golden frame is a godsend. Human fighter remains the best overall class in all RPGs, not sorry.

Started an Extreme playthrough in Terminator Resistance. Learned quickly that the game has a mechanic to avoid one shots, one shots from enemy weapons anyway. Yes, everything deals insane amounts of damage, even the weakest enemies.
