Please no, not bigger! Its been months and I've only reached Wyrms Crossing this week! I have so many other games to play and not enough time to play them all

I really wanna play the game, but i know it's too big and i will drop it and never pick it up again. It's also too big to play with friends who don't play too often

Same. It looks super interesting, but I haven't finished anything similar in the past, so I don't think I'd finish BG3. Some games still waiting for me:

  • RDR2 - loved RDR, but RDR2 is just way too long
  • The Witcher 3 - haven't even started; I tried the prior games, which are shorter, but still haven't finished any of them (loved the short stories though)
  • The Elder Scrolls - never finished Morrowind or Skyrim, despite having lots of hours in each

So yeah, I just don't finish long RPGs. I like shorter ones, but I just lose interest around 30-40 hours in.

I just gave up on BG3. Updated it, lost my save (corruption likely due to mods). But it took so long to get to Act 3 that I won't be playing again for months.

Just started RDR2 and it's already feeling cinematic and long. Trying to take it in doses.

Witcher 3 is more fun with mods and cheats, so you can just explore and hack shit to death.

Skyrim is easy to waste weeks in. I'm like 3,000+ hours in total.

But most people didn't even get past act two and the most common complaint is it's so big you end up in a hundred unrelated quests and quest items with no idea what any of them are about.

Honestly I'd love something similar but a bit more manageable thoigh of course I'm happy to accept it's not a game for me and hope those the enjoy it love it.

Can someone explain to me what "to dwarf the scope" means? As I am a non native speaker

Does this mean reduce the scope since dwarfs are supposed to be small?

"to dwarf" means "to make look small by comparison". So they're saying the new scope will make the BG3 scope look small.

Or it'll be similar scope, but just have a lot of dwarves.

Is this account a bot? It's taken over literally my entire front page (when set to "subscribed"), and some of page 2, with multiple posts in a single minute at times.

Sorry I just post everything at once when I filter through all the posts from various websites and communities.

I'm not sure if I'm convinced. Could you post a screenshot of a solved captcha to prove it?

^/s^

It does absolutely flood the feeds of some subscribed users when you post 40 (!!) things in one go to a single place. Would you be willing to consider either submitting in batches or spreading some submissions into more targeted communities? While I admire your dedication (and of course don't speak for everyone about preferences), I find this amount of stuff from a single sub/comm/mag at once really undesirable because in the aftermath it temporarily turns most of my subscription feed into just that and not much else.

And with DoS2 and BG3 under they belt they can count with my money, I assume they won’t forje pre order shit so a Day One for me, will probably take a vacation just to play it, got to adictos to BG3 and did barely any work in the week I got it.
