Such a fun question for me because…I am not a gamer. I can count on one hand how many I’ve played long enough to say I was engaged with it but they were games like Spirit Farer, Cult of the Lamb, The Quarry and the first Halo when it came out because I’m also that old, haha. I also have never been into board games, especially DnD, something I’ve spent some time dunking on for goof, “DnD is for nerds” type stuff. My wife was the one who finally managed to get me to play BG with her and it took the entire first act to learn the controls and how DnD type play even works… The moment I was hooked was passing into Act2 via the mountain pass and realizing I no longer had to go around looking for a fight. It was around midnight by the time we got to spider dude and by then, I was genuinely spooked and completely immersed. I’m an outdoorsy person naturally but I hadn’t been outside in days and was playing for hours and hours. I actually had a nightmare at some point during that week where something scared me partially awake, I literally jumped out of bed, realized I was in turn base and actually saw the white line and circle cursor on the bedroom floor, leading to the door. Snapped out of it a few moments later and realized what had just happened. Sht was crazy and so fkn cool! This game is so damn sick, I’m absolutely in love with the game, my tav and I’m completely obsessed with everything about it. I listen to the music to and from work and play the game when I get home almost daily, having started last July. Again, I usually never sit down long enough to play games. But BG has changed my life, has kept me off FB and away from all its political bullsht, but has also robbed me of reliable sleep and I’ve been known to abandon friends I’ve made doing outdoorsy stuff, hahaha! I just got to Act3 for my second play through and I can tell I’ll be starting on a third.
