Happy weekend everybody. I finished a playthrough of XCOM 2 and now have started a new playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3, as "The Dark Urge". Hope everyone's summer has been going well

    Big Total War fan? I'd be interested to know how it compares to Warhammer 3 and 3K. I played a ton of Warhammer 2, Shogun 2, and Attila but kind of fell off when they killed 3K early (rip my baby) and started milking the WH3 DLC super hard.

        That all sounds great. 3K was my favorite because of the setting (it was really surreal to see Three Kingdoms memes on the English speaking internet), but Attila is a close second because of things like the family trees. The slow pace and more stuff happening outside of battles made it more personal. I like Warhammer a lot too, but like, I'm not gonna empathize with my orc warboss. I couldn't care less if he dies on an emotional level. So having stuff like trade and diplomacy be important, which it was in 3K also, is a huge benefit. I've been hearing the positive buzz about it too but was skeptical because of how CA has been these last few years and because of how Pharaoh was received on launch, so I'll probably look into Pharaoh as my gateway before they launch 3K2 (eventually... )
