I only took Wyll on a couple of missions. I made him take Mizora’s deal to save his dad.

I think I messed it up by not going to the Gortash ceremony when I first got to the Lower City. I figured it would result in a fight, so I never went until I was ready (by which point I'd taken out the Steel Watchers and they attacked on sight).

I'd have been very surprised if it hadn't.

One of the most polarizing games. People either love it and gatekeep it, or just hate it. Definitely a niche game that...maybe got lucky. My coworker is someone who plays Baldur's Gate constantly on a pc and tells me all the cool things he can do in the game but doesn't tell me about the story, lol. I'm going to blind buy it because of him

Bg3 absolutely deserved GOtY. It was hugely popular for a reason.

Not a chance, it was nailed on to win. Not my favourite, but it's undeniably amazing.

Still niche, i'm not wrong there. This isn't a universally accessible game to people in the Fortnite world, lol. I will pick it up on sale and do look forward to it. As of now, it'll be hard to beat Diablo, Hogwarts and Spider-Man in my book.

How is a game with more than 22 million sales niche?

and Fortnite players mainly just play Fortnite, so their opinion is limited.

at the end of the day, we don't have to personally like something just because others determine that it's the best and at the same time that opinion doesn't make it gospel for everybody.

You're also the guy that said our opinions of what's best don't matter, so...

Niche has nothing to do with overall sales or success, the style of gameplay of Baldur's Gate is niche, it's not common, it's not something you see on many AAA titles. Maybe that's why it's so popular. Maybe because people like customizing penises? I'm not putting down the game at all or knocking if people are having fun with it.


But, I guess you got me and put me in my place.

Lots of games have turn based combat. Are Pokemon games niche? Final Fantasy? Anyway, you reducing the interest of BG3 to penis customization tells me everything I need to know.

A lot of genres were niche before they became commonplace. Standing out from the crowd shouldn't be held against it just because it doesn't toe the current industry line. That's partly why it has done so well.

That's what I was getting at. People are talking about this game outside of the circles that know about game 1 and 2 in the series. I personally only know about the penis thing because that's all over my twitter. I don't seek out games. But when a game like this does well, that means developers have the green light to make something that's not a shooter or a simulation game. We will have a healthy slate of games for the forseeable future because of games like this being successful. Niche, lol, yes, very much so. But because the accepted norms have been a different way for so long. We will have change because of this.
