You started with saying you’re “genuinely curious” but the rest of your reply indicates you actually aren’t, so I won’t be engaging further. Have a nice day!

Oooh haven’t heard of this one! Sounds perfect, thank you! The environmental Easter eggs is something I love abt BG3.

Also…now what lmfao?! I followed BG3 with E33 and the bar is SO high for what my third ever video game will be 😂 taking recommendations! Story & world-building is most important to me, followed by exploration & accessible combat. And there’s gotta be an easy mode (I played E33 on story mode).

Wow SO weird!!

I’m a new gamer, BG3 was my first game and E33 is my second - so the bar has been set VERY high 😂 I think my only critique so far is the combat feels tedious at times but could be that I’m underleveled.

And I do mean anywhere - for a different auction I once got up very early to visit a student group in South Korea! It was really fun. So don’t hesitate. And if you’re not a teacher or librarian you can still bid on this if you know someone you wanna gift it to!

Thank you so much! So do I!
