Started reading Dying Earth series, didn't know d&d stole so much from those books, prismatic spray and many other spells are straight from those books. Visiting a magician if you find a magical item to ID it, that also started there.. Many of the stories are very d&d too. Hard to believe its from 1950 when you read it (eariler than LOTR).
For what it's worth, there are paths and a few substantial areas that can be missed depending on one's decisions (i.e. saving the ̶B̶e̶a̶r̶ Grove vs siding with the Goblins, being a valiant hero vs serving the Absolute) which was nice to see after I restarted the game as a Dark Urge edgelord. It's also possible to refuse to rescue companions or even kill them miserably (though Gale should stay alive for...big bang-related reasons), replacing them with generic Hirelings -- you won't be able to tackle their side quests so it's not recommended for a first playthrough, however, it's a solution in case the cringe factor becomes too unbearable.
Played it at the time and stopped when I arrived in BG proper.
Will give it a year or so, and the final-final patches and mods (whatever those might do or add) to dive in again, restart & finish it.
As I said way before, it didn't "click" like BG I and especially II did, but it's will by then be fine enough to be venturing forth, and have a vampire make me feel like he has no teeth

This is it. Our final major game patch for Baldur’s Gate 3.
Outside of minor bug fixing, Patch 8 will be the last game patch to introduce new content. That means we won’t be adding any new narrative content or significant changes to storylines, Origin characters, or companions. We’ve told our stories the way we needed to tell them, and tried our best to make them impactful and engaging, and we’re continuing to get better at handling our own chaos so that we can continue to create more chaos in the future.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
