Yeah I’m really excited for this game but 17,000 different endings just sounds like “yes” and “no” bs

An ending that mentions a yes or no response to 14 things would have 16384 variations. Don’t get too excited by this big number. It could easily be just “one ending” where they mentioned the outcome of 14ish things you did.

I grew up with the first Baldur’s Gate games and both are amazing but BG3 seems more of a standalone. I played the early access and I don’t see much need to play the first 2, the story is not connected.

From what I’ve read, while there’ll be a few nods and references you might only get if you’ve played the original games; the game can be played with no need to have played the originals.

Also, if you do decide to pick up the original two games, keep in mind they were made back in the THAC0 days.

The first two were amazing but long ago, in sure there will be treats for those of us who remember them but I’m sure they’ll be expecting a mostly fresh audience.

Just know if you hear ‘go for the eyes boo’ it’s referencing a hamster.

I mean, it’s just variations of similar endings… I’d prefer what Nier Automata did with their 26 endings. Getting an ending because I backtracked, or because I fished, or because I exploded at a very inappropriate time and place… Yeah that’s my kind of multiple endings.

You should definitely play “The Stanley parable” if you haven’t yet

I’ve never been made to laugh till I had tears in my eyes by a game before

(following the adventure line / the narrator losing it in the cupboard)

Not the longest, but hands down the weirdest game I’ve ever played, and well worth the money. Now, where did I leave my bucket?

But ultimately, they are just variations of game over screens or just transitions between acts. Actual endings are like 2 or 3.

It was 5 main endings actually. Plus maybe another one related with Emil to wrap up other Nier game storyline
