What are we thinking about this one KIA2?
After sometime with it. Regardless of if/if not you believe it's woke trash I will absolutely hand them credit for not having MTX and having a (mostly) complete game at launch.
Now on to the other shit...
Wokeness - Honestly? Sure there's a bit of it sprinkled on (Pronouns) but I can confidently say at this point that it never felt like it was forced down my throat or that woke topics were an inherently "positive" thing to witness. Even the flamboyant gay characters like Astarion seem to be there for comedic release and "playersexual" has been a thing since Dragon Age: Origins.
It appears to me that the dev's cared a little less about pushing a message and more of: "I'm going to just throw my hands up, do what you want!" All of the interactions in the game seem less set to follow "ThE MeSsAgE" and more to allow the player to "Have at it!". I mean hell, if I see some faggots or some niggers I can straight up delete em cause Paladin go brrrrrr.
All in all, I've been enjoying it. More than Armored Core and Starfield thus far.
(Armored Core VI fucking blows donkey dick also. Not a bad game, but sure as fuck isn't AC.)
Would you recommend a playthrough of Neverwinter? I missed it but now wonder if it would be too jank.
I like Neverwinter Nights. It's got that old school D&D vibe, and if you actually play through all the expansions, it feels like your character going from lvl 1 killing rats in the sewer to god-like capabilities.
The only thing that might give you pause is the old graphics and interface, but c'mon, it's not any worse than than Diablo and it's ilk. And the Neverwinter Nights interface is loads better than NWN2. Something about that game's interface made me dump it before finishing the tutorial.
NWN is jank. I love the game but if you plan single player you will have a hard time getting in to it. Try NWN2, it has little with NWN and it is polished. The main game is fine but NWN2 MOTB expansion is just something else, one of my favorite games of all time. I still return to play it every now and then.
Still old so don't expect graphics like in BG3.
Single player is meh, many active mp servers still. Can recommend some if interested.
