Finished Baldur's Gate 3 today.
Something I've not done with many narrative games, instead getting caught up in making new characters.
I've not finished Skyrim (or Morrowind), nor Dragon Age Origins.
I completed Oblivion once, The Mass Effect trilogy once and Fallout 3 once, Fallout 4 three times.
Dragon Age Inquisition twice.
I still have like 40+ Tavs so I have plenty of playthroughs to do if I feel like it.
Anyway, BG3.
It was really good y'all. :)
In some ways I benefited from not completing it before now. I got the option to send Karlach to Avernus with Wyll, and I got the post-adventure gathering that Withers put together, for my first playthrough.
I've seen some posts about the % of players who have completed the games vs started it, or gotten off the Nautiloid, or finished Act 1.
I took some screenshots of them, but at the same time I'm not sure how accurate they are.
I know for Elder Scrolls/Fallout games I play with mods and never cared about the achievements, so they are always disabled for me and not part of the statistics. I imagine it's the same with a not insignificant number of BG3 players as well.
(I plan to mod BG3 as well, I just wanted to make a Tav playthrough and a Durge playthrough before I start in on the mods.)
I also don't know if the stats on the achievements are updated every time you open Steam/look at them. Is the 50,7% of players who have completed Act1 from august 28th when i got it, or from february 3rd when I looked at it today?
Also, the numbers of allies who showed up to help in the final fight, as well as all the letters you get in the little camp get-together, were both really cool moments.
The allies coming together to help you was a real cool and emotional payoff for all the quests you've done and people you have helped during them game.
The letters were less awesome but in many ways more touching.
Especially hearing that Arabella is a student of Elminster, Alfira has a successful bard school, thanks to Lakrissa saving up her waitress wages and buying a house for her.
Barcus, leading the Ironhand gnomes and making peace with the Gondians, doing great work in the rebuilding (and saying that 'it's not a big deal really'), Jaheira's kids doing great work in the city with Jaheira herself being alternatively proud and worried about them.
Halsin being a father figure to a gaggle of kids in the cleansed lands around Moonrise Towers and Orpheus and Lae'zel meeting with the gith'zerai leader to form an alliance it also both cool and sweet.
Also, Scratch and Anji playing fetch with the now inert Astral Prism. XD
Props to Larian for sneaking in a post credits scene too.
Seems Jergal is not happy at all with how the Dead Three has conducted business in the Domains he once held sway over.

I am proud to say that I have officially completed my apprenticeship with a Pass grade! I am done done done done!!! I told my manager Tracey and she said "Well, now you're an actual Junior Software Developer! No longer in training!" and I am so happy! 💻💗
I told my Dad, Mum, my fiancé, my sisters and my uncle and they're all super happy! Do you know what that means? Gifts!!! Hehe!
And what a coincidence my 21st birthday is in 4 days so extra gifts AND work are taking me out for my birthday so extra happy day!! ✨
However, even though I finished the apprenticeship, I'm obviously not an expert so I will be continuing studying on my own. I still feel like "Oh I know some stuff but I'm not 100% confident in the rest" so will continue trying new things, building random projects and just go from there!
Thanks to everyone who helped me here and externally! 💗💗

Let's try to do one thing at a time, to pursue one goal and then another, instead of doing multiple things trying to achieve several milestones and getting burn-out. It is better to take things slow and accomplish them one at a time then it is to worry about doing everything you dream of at once. You will reach each goal you have set for yourself, but take your time and patience to dedicate yourself to it without it causing your health to crash. If you can afford to take your time with achieving each goal, then do it at your own pace. Don't let anxiety guilt you into multitasking and micromanaging too many things. It's okay to take a break from a goal, it is okay to rest and plan again. It is okay if it takes time to achieve things you dream of.
