Lae'zel:"Do not trust anyone. Not even me."

Me:"It's going to be Lae'zel."

*Lae'zel ends up being Orin.*

Me:"CALLED IT!"

It'd be great if this could magically put an end to the idiotic spawn vs ascended Astarion discourse because people think that choosing one or the other puts them on a moral high ground, but alas...

I have a strong feeling that if he could, after Durge and their LI show up at the coronation Gortash would go upstairs to his office, lie down in his tiny ass twinbed, put on earphones and blast Mr Brightside on repeat for a couple hours while staring at the ceiling

I like the narrative framing and cutscenes but Cazador is such a little bitch for anyone that knows anything about 5e vampire lore. Woooooow bestie you want to fight me? On this platform over an endless abyss? Right next to your final resting place where we can see all of your spawns magically connected to your real corpse? That's so crazy. Karlach throw this guy into the hole

yes, it is g i would argue even more so than dragon age bc there's a lot less of the game taking your previous playthrough's events into account, except for the broader sense

however! as someone who played baldur's gate 3 first and then went back to baldur's gate 1 and 2, i would strongly recommend you try rhem out as well. they're a bit dated, but both of them are worthwhile experiences and give a lot more context to the wider world

the player character of baldur's gate 3 (tav) is different to bg1/bg2 (charname) but aa lot of people (myself included) think that the baldur's gate 3 origin character called The Dark Urge is linked to the bg1/2 player character for story apoiler reasons, so make of that what you will

Is baldurs gate like a dragon age situation where I could technically play the third game without playing the first two or is it a mass effect situation where you've got the same player character through all three games so you really should play the first two games before the third?
