I started a second run of Baldur's Gate 3 this week. I don't know the last time I've ever finished a game like this just to go right back into it. It's certainly been 20+ years since I've done it with an RPG. Part of why I wanted to do it might have been how much more polish there is in the first act, so it's a cozier experience. I also skipped a full zone and a half on the first play, so that's all going to be new, and I want to see the other side of a big decision point in Act 2. Probably going to end this run around that point and maybe actually play a different game for once.

I'm realizing now that this game fixes all of my problems with Divinity: Original Sin 2, and that was an excellent game. There are very few steps back here, mostly just the lack of polish.

BG3 is still a triumph despite the (many) rough edges. I'm sure I'm going to go back to it yet again down the road after a few patches and some of the cut/unfinished content is in the game, especially around the ending.

I don’t know the last time I’ve ever finished a game like this just to go right back into it.

Elden Ring is this game for a lot of people, myself included. I'm early in BG3, but just like with Elden Ring, I'm already thinking about other things I'd like to try on subsequent playthroughs.
