I don't play many PC games these days because of how woke a lot of the shit is. I got burned on Cyberpunk, so now I pretty much play FS2020 and that's it these days. The last game I played through was System Shock remake, which I found to be decent enough.
BG3 won game of the year from Worth a Buy, but I hear it has a lot of gay sex?
Gortash (evil follower of Bane) got the Crown of Domination from Mephistopheles, not Raphael. This is discussed in your meeting with Raphael at Sharess' Carress. (Personally, I'd have liked to see that story. "Go all the way down to the Eighth (of Nine) Rings of Hell and steal an ancient Netherese artifact from and Arch-Duke of Hell..." Sounds cool)
The premise of your first part is mistaken.
OK, that at least makes sense. I thought it was the same guy do to the chick that helped him and also helps you.
