BENEATH THE READ MORE IS A POLL THAT CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR BALDUR'S GATE 3 - I WOULDN'T NORMALLY DO THIS, BUT I NEED SOME ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO
Who should I side with in the final battle? The choices are ass follows.
Side with the Emperor: No one has to become Illithid but I screw over the entire Githyanki race and Lae'zel in specific and dit feelss like a douchebag move.
Side with Orpheus: Potential salvation for the the Githyanki and feels like the right thing but someone has to become Illithid or Gale has to blow himself up.
So, please vote. Also offer me any advice you can. I'm really torn on this.

This looks amazing, but I would argue thatt a truly Tolkienesque game would be playing as a man of Gondor being tasked with teasing life back into the ruined land of Mordor. Watching battlefields and wasteland give way to good earth and green grass.
Rereading the Lord of the Rings series recently, and it's so fascinating to me how much the series is a denial of the typical juvenile power-fantasy that is associated with the fantasy genre.
Like, the power-fantasy is the temptation the Ring uses against people It tempts Boromir with becoming the "one true king" that could save his people with fantastic power. It tempts Sam with being the savior of Middle Earth and turning the ruin that is Mordor into a great garden. It tempts Gandalf and Galadriel with being the messianic figure of legend who brings salvation to Middle Earth and great glory to herself.
The things the Ring tempts people with are becoming the typical protagonists of fantasy stories that we expect to see. and over and over we see that accepting that role, that fantasy of being the benevolent all-powerful hero, is a bad thing. LotR is about how power, even power wielded with benevolent intent, is corrupting.
And its so fascinating how so much of modern fantasy buys into the very fantasy LotR denies. Most modern fantasy is about being that Heroic power-fantasy. About good amassing power to rival evil. But LotR dares not to. It dares to be honest that there is no world where anyone amasses that power and remains good.
I guess that's one of the reasons its so compelling.

#every time someone explains fnv it makes me want to struggle through the pain of playing an rpg more and more#i really . really . do not like dealing with numbers in games. ive TRIED playing fallout but i suck so bad#that one quote about gamers optimising the fun out of everything#except i cant figure out how to optimise shit in a lot of rpg games
Listen to me.
Listen well.
Do not bother with optimization. Do not try to min-max this bitch. Pick whatever you vibe with, perks and stats included, and fuck off into the wasteland. If you die, lower the difficulty. There's no shame in it. It's just trial and error, baby.
go for it.
I love the differences in Fallout protagonists.
Fallout 3: You’re the child of a brilliant scientist and the one destined to save the world through both your own and your father’s actions.
Fallout 4: A survivor, a literal piece of the Old World that woke up to change everything. The human equivalent of a nuke in its silo.
Meanwhile in Fallout New Vegas you’re a random fuck-off mailman who stumbled dick backward into being a warlord. What’s going on? Courier 6 doesn’t know! All they know is that a motherfucker in a checkered suit shot them and stole their poker chip and now all the Mojave will feel their wrath. Their friend group is less The Avengers and more the gang from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It’s amazing.

*At Baldur's Gate, confronting Gortash*
Durge: WOAH, WOAH, WOAH. Hold up, were- were we a THING?!
Gortash: *gasps* You remember dearest?!
Durge: ...Holy shit I had horrible standards.
Gortash: ...what?
Durge: *turning to Astarion* Babe, look at this. I must have had, like, rock bottom standards back in the day 'cause this is embarrassing.
Astarion: I know, darling, but you've certainly improved since then.
Gortash, fighting back tears: I'm right here you know.

Halsin: So, enlighten me, how did you get a harem of both Karlach and Minthara?

Halsin: ...eh?

*at the Temple of Bhaal*
Orin: Aw, look at it. It's mind meat is all twisted up. Have you forgotten the way home, slaughter-kin?
Durge: ...I remember it all. I remember a little girl I tried to protect from father's voice. I remember my beloved niece who I would have eviscerated the world to protect. I remember trying to shield you from the path I walked. I held you, nurtured you, I LOVED you and cursed the fate that Bhaal had given you! *chokes back tears* I wanted to SAVE you!
Orin: I DO NOT NEED SAVING!
Durge: ...No, I suppose not. *summons their staff to them* I'm going to end this, Orry. I'm going to kill you, spill your blood across this altar and then- then the world will finally be safe. From you. From US. It's time to end this Orry. I'm sorry. I love you.
Orin, tears of blood running down her cheeks: I DON'T! I HATE YOU! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!
Durge: ...I'm sorry, Orry.

"I'm going to play Dark Urge, I'm going to play a Drow, I'm going to play a Half Elf Cleric of Selune-" No. I grow tired of filling Faerun with hotties and encouraging my party's fatherless behavior.
To remedy this I have made Your Dad, the ultimate 1:1 replica of the average New Jersey father to save the realm and put a stop to my party's sad, horny business.

And before you can even ask "oh what is the Guardian Your Mom or something" of fucking course she is you fool

Stunning designs of Hercules and Eris.
Although I still hope that the colors on the Eris sprite are a guide for future coloring(?)
