I'm happy to see this as another possible option since Baldur's Gate 3 is really tempting me to use a streaming service. I am hoping it works via Proton soon after release, but if GeForce NOW enables me to play the Steam version of the game, it lessens the risk of purchase a bit.

Looks like I should start a habit of going to the Epic Store and claiming a free game every month so that I have a library to play if I subscribe to GeForce NOW.

Quoting: rcritI know that work ain't free but I'm not really up to buying NWN for a 3rd time. I have a boxed edition somewhere, I bought Diamond from GoG already and now another version...

Well, you get to keep that version as-is ;)

People are saying to stay up to date, but I don't see any patches announced in response to BlindSide.

Quoting: 14Glad to see Steam has a demo button. I want to try it out. Only problem is, my friends and I have a fairly stable schedule of playing board games in person, so playing online isn't a large desire for us. I think I would need to add a different circle of players to get some use out of it.

I was always an "in person" man myself, but with Covid we went virtual . . . we'd probably have gone to in person, at a park maybe, for the summer except one of our GMs is married to a doctor and so is being especially careful.

We were on a break for about two months or so where we played regular PC/PS4 games online on our schedule instead of anything in person. We could have used it then. But now we play tabletop in person again.

Why are they making a brand new game that looks like it was for the year 2002?

Quoting: Eike"Allow for more development time to further polish the game, ensuring that it [...] meets the high expectations of fans and beta testers". Sounds like the testers weren't too happy (and sounds a little bit like they'd want to say it's the testers' fault).

I watched one or two live streams when it was either EA or a beta the other week. It seemed pretty good to me, but the streamer did question whether a lot of little things were bugs or not, making me think he must have run across a few certain ones and then became suspicious. You wouldn't want to be in that mindset when playing a game you just purchased. When being a beta tester, sure. So, yeah, my guess is the same as yours -- that the beta/EA feedback revealed more work areas than they forecast.

I must say, though, that watching the game got me quite interested in it! I think I would enjoy it and am likely to buy it when it's "finished."

Thanks for the news. I like to buy the Battle Pass usually, but I'll wait until a solid date is scheduled.
