Heeeey! It's okay if you ignore this bcos random but you said you were OK with talks so I wannah shoot my shot lol butt I was curious which part of the game you don't like at all and which is your favourite? Again totally cool if you don't answer! Love your stuff!

Hiya, flower! I'm assuming we're talking about bg3 because that's the one I talk about the most, but if not, hit me up and let me know!

As for which part I like least and which I like the most...huh. Good question, honestly! I'm not super sure because I generally really enjoy the game as a whole but...hm.

I guess my favourite part of the game would be the mountain pass! I really like the surroundings - like really it's so fucking pretty there with all that sunlight! - and it's a nice to run around and explore some old monastery. It's just a...Nice break, I guess? The rest of the game feels either busy or rather heavy - especially in act 2 - but the Mountain Pass is relatively quiet and easygoing. I also really enjoy the Crèche bits, for some reason? Gith fights are, in my opinion, some of the hardest fights in the game and I always always always struggle so much, but I kind of like them exactly because of that.

I'd like to throw in some honorable mentions - I do like the Temple of Bhaal (as Durge), the Circus of the Last Days, the Thorm Siblings, the big Moonrise Battle and Waukeens Rest a lot as well! Oh oh oh, and the fight against those wee beasties in the Shadow Lands! I'm sure you know which one I mean, the one where they basically leash you and drag you all over the place! Oh, and I really like the haunted house and the iron throne in act 3!

My least favourite is probably the Underdark. I love the setting. The lighting is absolutely stunning down there, and I like meeting the Myconids, Blurg, and Omeluum, but the quests are just really...meh. I don't really like most of them.

Boooal and the Myconid quests are a bit boring; I don't give two flying fucks about Baelen; the minotaurs, the bulette and those sussur tree dinosaurs are some of the most annoying shits in the game - as is Lenore's entire tower, btw, how redundant of a quest is that please? - and I absolutely HATE the Grymforge.

(And I'm being for real, the Grymforge is where most of my playthroughs stop for weeks to months at a time because I hate it so much. It's the most boring part of the game, in my opinion, and I'm saying that as someone who went and pieced dribbles together multiple times. That was bad but the Grymforge is worse. The set is ugly, the duergar are pretty much all the same, the fights are annoying, and the entire adamantine shit is a hassle. Get the grymforge away from me, please.)

If it weren't for Omeluum, Barcus and the exp I would probably just skip the Underdark entirely. It just isn't really worth it to me. So, at this point, I mostly just speedrun the underdark bits because I can't be arsed to do them slowly, haha.

Once again, some honourable mentions: Auntie Ethel pt. 1 and the Sharlympics. (And dribbles, haha.)

Now, I generally like the Auntie Ethel fight, but I hate the climb down there, which is precisely why I have many playthroughs where I don't bother most times. (And I don't really like Mayrina all that much...? Not enough to want to save her...? Should I be saying that as a social worker? Probably not, haha. And yet...) But I do like the ethel fight in act 3!

And the Sharlympics are something I have to be in the mood for. If I am, then they're cool, and I have a good time with them, but if I'm not, they're just a darn hassle because the Gauntlet is fucking confusing and I always get lost down there.

And, dribbles...meh. meeeeh. I don't like quests that are just running around and searching for shit. Dribbles felt like the Demiguises from Hogwarts Legacy all over again.

But what about you, flower? (Or anyone else reading, you're invited too!) What do you like and dislike the most? Tell me all about it, I'm super interested to know!

Have a lovely day/night now!

Gonna be honest, first time I did this part it stressed me out more than the entirety of Sharlympics lmao

Got him good and the displacer kitty lives! I love how this is my third time here and each time it was different. (just wish that the first time I wasn't reloading the battle over and over again at 3am 💀)

What if we kissed...in the orthon's lair...hahaha just kidding...unless...?
