my first 6 hours of any crpg consist of me making a character that seems cool, playing for an hour, then saying “ooohhhh, but what if I…” and starting over to make a new character.

it turns into 12 hours if I make a character I really like, then I meet a companion and they’re cooler than me + the class I made. I remade my first character in BG3 this way, because I was a cool dragonborn barbarian, then I met Karlach and went “well, I’ll never be as cool as her. main menu…”

30 skills but you have no idea which ones will actually be checked.

this was fine when i was 12 and was going to re-play the game five times but that’s not how life is anymore.
