    I love Joel but the ending where it was like “SPONSERED BY BALDUR’S GATE 3” really woke me up to realize I just watched a 6-and-a-half-minute ad and that’s it. In fact, I feel like if he had put at the start of the video, I would have taken it a whole lot differently.

      I first thought it was a joke, but no, it’s legit, lol. Just makes me appreciate Larian more.

        Yeah, I was caught off guard by it and thought it was a joke but it seemed clear by the end it was Joel’s way of displaying that the video was a paid ad. IMHO, is far too late in the video to display such information.

        Why do you appreciate Larian more? Larian is just paying people to make ads. A lot of studios don’t even do their own marketing and just pay ad agencies. Either way seems silly to praise Larian for paying for ads.
