    Got back into gaming when BG3 was blowing up. Felt like I was part of a moment. Is that just buying a AAA game list price? Or was it as special as I remember?

      Nah man, BG3’s release was a phenomenon. I had people who are barely gamers casually start talking about D&D party dynamics and how nice it was to have a game focused at adults. I don’t think Larian was even prepared for it to be such a slam dunk.

      Honestly i feel like it was huge, i can only think of a few titles that i would consider their launch to be so much of a culutral event, and not many in recent years. Half-life 2 for sure, skyrim, i guess doom 3. Since then maybe only cyberpunk and elden ring i guess? But even that felt different
