look, not to start anything or rile anyone up, but I've been playing a little bit of Divinity Original Sin 2 and, oh my goodness is it a million times better than Baldurs Gate 3. It's amazing what happens when you design your systems around a video game rather than an abstract theatre of mind TTRPG

i have been hunting for about an hour in i am your beast to get a certain sound byte to play. i get really frustrated. i keep trying. i eventually give up and extract all of the assets from the game. the sound byte that i'm after does not exist.
