How's Baldur's Gate 3 going for you? (kbin.run)

I'm currently holding off on buying it because it's the kind of game that will eat up my life in a way I just don't have time for right now, and I figure the price will drop or it'll go on a better sale than it has been on before by the time I have time to play.

Also worth mentioning spoiler formatting:

appears as

for both Kbin and Lemmy folks, though if you are on an app there is a chance it won't display properly for you as some Lemmy apps don't implement this.

Sad to report I haven't beaten it and got burnt out from it.

You see I got the game when it released and there were a lot if strange bugs for the playthrough I wanted to do. And I had to be constantly paranoid about missing or breaking story flags. An entire boss fight was just missing on my save and I had to mess with the memory with Cheat Engine to manually activate it (still kinda proud I managed that). I lost steam in the final act of the game.

That and some other bad experiences not related to the game itself has soured my feelings towards it. It's a great story but a nightmarishly coded game. I wish I could wipe my memory and play it from scratch as it is now.

I'll likely go back and finish it at some point, but then Elden Ring got an expansion and I'm in a new playthrough for that.
