Happy weekend everybody. I finished a playthrough of XCOM 2 and now have started a new playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3, as “The Dark Urge”. Hope everyone’s summer has been going well

      I’m around 30 hours in too! I’m stubbornly sticking with survival mode, haha.

      One thing I will say, I genuinely adore the “biome” aspect with the different districts. They each have their own flavors of raiders and flora/fauna, something the official Fallout games haven’t quite nailed yet.

      Any Londoner probably appreciates the mod’s references far more than I can, but I have the main games for that, haha.

        who’s your favorite faction so far? i’m a big fan of the Pistols. i don’t know if they’re considered a faction but i love the Thamesfolk too

          I love the Pistols! Thought naming a dog “Anarchy” was a bit too on-the-nose, but otherwise a solid group with a lot of funk to them, and not portrayed as worthless or too idealistic to ever get anything done, as Anarchists are often miscategorized in media.

          The Thamesfolk are a cool, unique faction that I actually really appreciate creatively.

          Overall, I still really enjoy the Vagabonds, they are just a fun group character-wise.

          I also really like the Beefeaters, genuinely scary.

            the first time i fought the beefeaters it really felt like a life-or-death situation. i really like them and wish i could join as an evil character
