The Nextlander Podcast 112: Top-Ten Skeleton
🕑 Added 2023-08-09 23:34:36 +0000 UTCIt was hard to resist the dark urge to keep playing Baldur's Gate 3 long enough to go on this podcast and talk about Baldur's Gate 3, but we pulled it off, plus WrestleQuest, a long-overdue Red Dead Redemption rerelease, Final Fantasy XVI sales numbers, EVO impressions and a Killer Instinct blast from the past, and more.

I think the “driving into the water” thing happened when Apple Maps first rolled out before they started using google maps. At least people were directed to drive into the water, I don’t know if anyone actually did.

Fun hearing about Vinny and Alex being within driving distance and doing stuff together.

After boxing up my PS3 (where I played Red Dead 1) and ultimately acquiring a Series X, I was able to get Red Dead 1 & Undead Nightmare for even less than that on some sale a while back, in case I ever want to play it on a current console on my current TV.
Daniel Mancini
So, Vinny was talking about whether or not it was better to start with an origin character or an original character, but he got cut off before he said which he feels is the better option. I know in Original Sin 2, it was more fun to play as a premade character, but does it make that much of a difference in BG3?

RDR1: they didn’t bother remaking it for Xbox because you can already buy red dead AND undead nightmare for 40 bucks instead of fifty PLUS the Xbox version is the only one that has multiplayer.

I made Aberd (IYKYK) as my MC even before I saw there was an achievement for it. I'll say having all of the classes at my disposal is great for seeing all of the various class based dialog options. Like an easy example is being both a bard and barbarian gave two wildly different ways to react to "the barn scene".
Mike
Same! I’m saving it for my PS5 play through with my partner.

BG3 is indeed great. Looking forward to the stream on Friday. Like Vinny I’m saving dark urge for my second play through.
fusigogo
BG3 is so good
Mike
48 minutes of BG3? I’ve been waiting for this since Friday since I knew this would be an incredible talk through. Thank you for not disappointing !!!
