oh it’s working exactly as intended. they’re just trying more and more overtly to push you to the content they’re paid to. cause you’re right, it’s Google, the ad company. this is what they do.

to me the biggest difference is that in divinity it still felt like i could do literally everything, and like I was just checking off steps in a task list until i made it to the end.

bg3 is the first game where i actually feel more like I’m playing an actual ttrpg that organically breaths and moves with my actions and let’s me do it all in literally any way i can imagine. it’s the first time I don’t think i could ever play through to every eventuality.
