Stephen Bush: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: video games are such terrific value, and it is truly amazing how many playthroughs there are to do in Baldur’s Gate 3.

I still play Skyrim ten years on. Was nice escapism in the pandemic and lockdown.

Still play it, still never completed the main story.

i am in this post and don’t like it

I only found out about a month ago that you can play against the Dark Brotherhood by killing Astrid in that hut.

Same, I played *so* much Skyrim in lockdown. Basically switched between that and Subnautica for most of it.

I've been watching my partner, who's never been into D&D, play through it the last few weeks. It's been a joy to watch, they are frighteningly good at the strategic combat part of it; I'm considering inviting them to occasionally play as the NPC enemies in my weekly Zoom-based campaign. ☺️

That good? I’ve replayed 1 (which is fairly linear tbh), never completed 2.

Yeah - and much less slow than 2, it’s a terrific bit of work.

How many playthroughs have you done in Exocolonist?
