I was really happy that I didn’t read any spoilers for Phantom Liberty so when that concert occurred I was just transfixed.

This game makes me want to play it. i see it on YT and in streams a lot now for some reason. Seems when one person does something the rest follow...even if its KISS in their disco era. :)

I only own the normal game though. Tried it twice but stopped after first mission each time.

It's funny when people freely talk about the spoilers they are most happy they avoided.

To be fair, the person you quoted was simply replying to a post that spoiled the thing he was glad wasn't spoiled for him.

I was having some misgivings posting after the fact but I was just so moved by the most accurate depiction of a steel band in a video game ever! :wub:

I've been playing for a few weeks - it finally clicked this time. I just started the intro mission for Escape from New York Phantom Liberty.
Spoiler:
Apparently I'm supposed to talk to someone at a certain gate to get denied entry, after which I can approach the objective. I went the wrong way, and they started trying to murderize me.

Oopsy.

To be fair, that pistol was responsible for almost none of those kills.

Minor annoyance: Why is it that every time me and whoever go into hiding in an abandoned building, the first thing I'm required to do is turn on the lights?

I've had the exact same thought. You are being hunted by a large group of soldiers, you hole up in an abandoned building where the walls are mostly open to the night, and you set up a beacon for everyone to find you.

Way late to the party, but it is on sale for $29.99. Been playing BG3 for about the last 4 years. Need something to tide me over for the next 4. :roll: Hope this lives up to the hype.

It's one of the best games I've ever played. I think I finished complete plays of the OG game twice, and did a third run through the entire game plus DLC. And then another one to see an alternate outcome to the DLC story line.

Baldur's Gate 3 has only been out since last year.

D'oh. I completely forgot that BG3 was an early access game (and I did buy it right at the start of EA, too, on 6 Oct 2020 according to Steam).

Sometimes, the joke is me! :lol:

I was going to say something similar to this, but to actually see the date kinda puts things in perspective. Had no idea it really HAS been 4 years!!

I'm very close to the end. My next main mission is the 'point of no return' for the main story, and I'm one mission away from the Big Decision in Phantom Liberty. I do appreciate the freedom to choose what to finish and what to ignore (NCPD dispatches, etc) and be able to simply finish when I'm ready.

And I'm nearly ready. I'm loving the game, but it's been front-and-center for months, and I've got a few others that I really want to give some time to.

I have gotten past the tutorial and into the first main mission. I am going with a stealth build on normal, mostly because I suck at combat. Met my first major decision, but research says it really has no future impact either way. Now I want to jump off the rail and start doing side missions before progressing.

Stealth, I have found, is so, so powerful. I also like that they didn't implement it with a straight stealth tree, but with just a couple of skills that build off on another stat.

I was able to get a legendary weapon:
Spoiler:
Errata, the katana that burns. You can pick it up from the furnace during the Disasterpiece mission. I followed a guide to a box that was supposed to have the Mantis Blades. I found the box, but apparently the blades were patched out.
Now I am relatively fearless.

And I just got:
Spoiler:
Sasquatch's Hammer, by sneaking behind her and snatching it.

If you're interested in making sure you don't miss legendaries, my son pointed me to this guide. It's as spoiler-free as it can be, and simply tells you which items are available in which missions.

I have reached the spot where it says: POINT OF NO RETURN.

Of course I backed off to do other things but it appears I am nearing the end. Some people say the real game starts with the DLC. I will probably take a break before going that route.

I am standing outside the door of Embers. When I walk through, I'll be at said point myself. I'm ready to move on to something else, but I'm not ready to be finished with it.
