New thread! Whatch’a all playing!
I have been playing Blasphemous 2! Its really good so far. I think if you’re a fan of the first there’s nothing to dislike here (so far)

I’ve never played any baldur’s gate game and only played the first half of the beginner campaign of 5e. I have seen some dimension 20 shows though.
With that background, can you recommend jumping directly into bg3?I don’t really want to play bg2 but bg3 is being hailed as one of the best games in a decade. So I wanted to see how it holds up.

I’ve played planescape and ice wind dale. Also tyranny. Seemed like a decent genre.
Yes. I just have a compulsion that most people don’t where I feel like I need to see the earlier games in a series in order to get the proper perspective on the later ones. For instance, with returning characters, winks and nods, etc. It’s orders of magnitude more approachable than BG1 and 2, which were harder to get into than Planescape: Torment, IMO. And at least right out of the gate, they don’t expect you to have any foreknowledge of what came earlier. I’ll bet they’ll drop that lore as I get closer to the in-game location, Baldur’s Gate, because you do not start there, and I understand that, like the first game, you don’t see that city until toward the end.
Wife absolutely loves BG3 to the point she ordered some 5e books to better understand the systems. She went in knowing nothing about the lore, the systems, or anything and it quickly became her favorite game of all time.
I have yet to jump in though. Played about an hour, but I feel like I need a good block of time I can dedicate to getting acquainted with the game before I can really start to enjoy it.
Neither of us have played any prior BG games.
