      I really wanna play the game, but i know it’s too big and i will drop it and never pick it up again. It’s also too big to play with friends who don’t play too often

        Same. It looks super interesting, but I haven’t finished anything similar in the past, so I don’t think I’d finish BG3. Some games still waiting for me:

        • RDR2 - loved RDR, but RDR2 is just way too long
        • The Witcher 3 - haven’t even started; I tried the prior games, which are shorter, but still haven’t finished any of them (loved the short stories though)
        • The Elder Scrolls - never finished Morrowind or Skyrim, despite having lots of hours in each

        So yeah, I just don’t finish long RPGs. I like shorter ones, but I just lose interest around 30-40 hours in.

          I just gave up on BG3. Updated it, lost my save (corruption likely due to mods). But it took so long to get to Act 3 that I won’t be playing again for months.

          Just started RDR2 and it’s already feeling cinematic and long. Trying to take it in doses.

          Witcher 3 is more fun with mods and cheats, so you can just explore and hack shit to death.

          Skyrim is easy to waste weeks in. I’m like 3,000+ hours in total.

    But most people didn’t even get past act two and the most common complaint is it’s so big you end up in a hundred unrelated quests and quest items with no idea what any of them are about.

    Honestly I’d love something similar but a bit more manageable thoigh of course I’m happy to accept it’s not a game for me and hope those the enjoy it love it.

    Can someone explain to me what “to dwarf the scope” means? As I am a non native speaker

    Does this mean reduce the scope since dwarfs are supposed to be small?

    Is this account a bot? It’s taken over literally my entire front page (when set to “subscribed”), and some of page 2, with multiple posts in a single minute at times.

        I’m not sure if I’m convinced. Could you post a screenshot of a solved captcha to prove it?

        It does absolutely flood the feeds of some subscribed users when you post 40 (!!) things in one go to a single place. Would you be willing to consider either submitting in batches or spreading some submissions into more targeted communities? While I admire your dedication (and of course don’t speak for everyone about preferences), I find this amount of stuff from a single sub/comm/mag at once really undesirable because in the aftermath it temporarily turns most of my subscription feed into just that and not much else.
