    A co-worker was asking me if I could find a truly unlimited data plan for the Netherlands (we aren't from there but she frequents the country a lot and I lived there for a while). It is absolutely impossible. Every data plan has a 5-10GB per day restriction, even though they all claim to be unlimited.

    I get that it's generally done to discourage hogging the mobile network and making it miserable for everyone but in that case you shouldn't be able to call something unlimited, because 5-10GB is far far from unlimited...

        Tell me about it...I'm German, so I understand your plight. German data plans are the worst. It's gotten better over the years but we are still far away from sensible prices. If it continues the way it did the last couple of years you'll get your old Irish mobile plan for the same price in maybe 10 years or so, it's such a fucking joke.

            Lol, 16mbits is absolutely atrocious, but worst thing is that it is not even all that unique...I know a couple of people with the same speeds.

            Good to know that there are companies with good English support in Germany as well. That is pretty unique in general. I can only speak for myself but my experience with 1&1 is really good. Their customer support was really helpful when we had internet problems that, as it turned out, they weren't responsible for at all. They also switched our connection to a dynamic ipv4 address just by asking for one over the phone, with no extra charge. The price we pay for our 250mbits connection, even with a pretty much constant discount is still too high imo, but that is true for every German internet provider.

            Aww man. You're missing out then. I'd say the day one version of BG3 is pretty good, as long as you're not racking up a huge amount of save games you should be fine (as there is a bug that was fixed with a recent hotfix regarding having too many save games). Cleric Dragonborn sounds interesting though! I'm running with a Dwarfen Paladin, which has been really fun and seems to jive well with the companions I've found so far.

                Got it! BG3/DnD is pretty human looking focused with all the half-human races and very human looking races (like Gnomes and Dwarfs), which is shame in cases as yours, so it really seems that the Dragonborn is your best bet. I usually play Orcs but Half-Orcs just aint that unfortunately, although I adore Dwarves as well so it's fine for .

                Sounds like it, yeah. I have a really hard time replaying parts of games which is why I avoid early access and the likes usually. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to play BG3 near launch, but I pirated the game to try it out and then it sucked me in and I bought it the next day.

                    Got it! So how do you usually play RPG games with character choice? You said your first character was a half elf warlock and then you switched to a dragonborn cleric, what made you choose the half elf at first and what made you switch to the dragonborn?

                    And if you don't mind me asking, have you ever encountered a game which had the perfect character creator to build a character that actually represents you?

                  I am aching for some good beastfolk. Like yeah, I can finally run the CG Drow Warlock that got laughed out of an IRL brick-and-mortar a decade and a half ago, but my character design preferences have gone so far past the core four(human, elf, dwarf, orc) since then that it's actually kind of hard for me to make mundane humanoids again

                    That sucks, that it is becoming harder for you. Maybe mods will help, when they inevitably come. Although you should obviously be able to get representation without mods.
