Last paragraph…

"Then the wheel falls off while you’re driving, or the autopilot plows into a jersey wall, and you’re meant to be thrilled.* Glad even. Grateful! This is proof: You were an early adopter. A beta tester, a brave explorer. You’re helping to work out the bugs, mapping new territory. Who knows? In a hundred years this car’s descendants might be as reliable as cars that by then will be 150 years old, and you will have played a part in making it so. Won’t that be nice.

*Assuming you lived through it."

I got just inside Act 3 before I put the game on hold to wait for patches and things like that to come out…almost ready to jump back into it. I have been romancing Shadowheart because her story seemed to be the most tied-in to the game’s plot. If/when I do a second run, I will be Team Karlach all the way.

I have fallen into the same trap that I always do with this type of game, and which I begged myself not to this time, to no avail: Roll a character, be having a good time. Suddenly think, “I wonder if there’s another way to solve this area if my character were any good at stealth…” Roll another character, replay the same 8-10 hours of the game. Think to myself, “that was interesting, but how would that play out if I took the bad guy path? Or if I was a magic user? Or if I had a mustache?” Replay the same 8-10 hours of the game, ad nauseam.

And this is even after the 100 hrs I sank in Early Access.

SRD enthusiasts probably all OD’d in the last couple weeks.
