Oh man I can't wait to just wander around the city, discovering all the little side stories that are happening around me!

The first thing I'll say is that I really enjoyed it, and I don't want anyone to think otherwise; binged it all on release day and don't regret a second. However - and I never thought I'd be this guy - there were a lot of changes to the story compared to the books; some of them were minor, some...

Baldur's Gate 2, I think. I absolutely played it to death back in the day, and it's the game that REALLY got me into gaming beyond just messing about on whatever I had to hand.

Haha thanks, although you may not be so forgiving when I say this: Triss is, by far, the much better choice! I think the Netflix show is the only iteration of Yennefer I've liked :eek: and I normally prefer redheads anyway too

I honestly think the game isn't quite as good as the general consensus would have you believe. It's good, very good even. But, for me, a top tier game is one that I can just play and play and play without feeling the urge to play something else mid-flow. RDR2 was a long way from that, unfortunately.

I finally got around to playing Thronebreaker. Solid RPG with a good story and solid card-playing. Unfortunately, the itch to play some Formula 1 and Civ 6 recently has kinda kicked it to the curb!
