Finished #ShadowsofAmn, I'm now in #ThroneOfBhaal. Irenicus wasn't too hard.

Got a few new games in the #SteamSale.

Freaking Emily, I wonder which part of my character's life she'll wreck next.

#BG2 #EmilyIsAway #Gaming #RetroGaming #PCGames

I've almost finished #BG2. I just need to see if there are any loose ends to tie up before I face the boss. I don't think I've even done Jaheira's quest yet. I'm ready for this game to end.

I've just realised there's still the expansion pack to go.

Emily still sucks.

Anyway, here is a cool thing.

I don't know when I'm going to revisit #BG3, but I'm planning on ignoring most of the NPCs next time. I'll probably only recruit Astarion, since I've not done his romance story yet. Gale is annoying. Shadowfart is annoying. Lae'zy is annoying. Wyll, eh, he's kinda okay, but also annoying. Jaheira, I liked her until she started hitting on my player in #BG2 within hours of finding her husband butchered, so she's annoying. I wonder how many of them I can just ignore completely and how many I'll have to just bench or... Oh yeah. Karlach, she's also annoying.

They're all annoying. I just want my Ajantis back. Ajantis, noooooooo!

You can't bench #Jaheira without her whining and saying she doubts you'll ever meet again. I don't need her in my group, but once she's gone, she's gone. So I'm stuck with her. Also, girl is meant to be heartbroken over losing Khalid, but she's already chosen my PC as her rebound. Girl!

#BG2

My memory is completely going, I was so confused by why I was seeing two different protagonists in my screenshots for #BG1. I actually forgot I played the EE twice :(

Six weeks after the World Series, I completely forgot who we played. I was wracking my brains for days, I had to look it up in the end. This even after I made several posts on here about it. But I can remember we played the Yankees in '24.

Anyway, back on topic, I did buy #BaldursGate2 on DVD, because of everyone saying the EE ruins it, only I found the interface too clunky, since I was used to the EE version from when I bought BG1 on Steam (I played the 8 disc CD version many, many years ago). So when I saw #SiegeOfDragonspear and #BG2 were reduced, I got them both.

I have to say, since playing BG2, #BG3 is feeling a lot more like a sequel. After replaying BG1, BG3 seemed like a different franchise altogether, just in BG wrapping paper. But it feels more linked now.

Anyhoo, I miss Ajantis :( I do wish Larian had kept the same vibe with the UI though. I'm not expecting them to keep the same UI, but something reminiscent of it would have made it feel more cohesive. I still like BG1 best though.

Wise words, Khalid :'(
