back to BG3

 The single strand of plot I've chosen to follow in Baldur's Gate 3 is devoid mostly of subquests, and mostly deals with the killing of the three rulers, and I got to thinking about "Orpheus," who is a character in the game who mostly sleeps.

Who is the god of sleep?
(Irrelevant)
Morpheus is the god of Dreams.

If you followed the orpheus-link, you'd see that I probably play the most g-rated quest, Mindlflayer-free except for the emperor.
In my last winning playthrough, there was no beach-scene, they just completely eliminated it.

Without this scene it's a little pointless playing beyond a certain point; it all becomes very mechanical.

I also don't think it's nice to play as some sort of gnoll (troll/elf/goblin) with spells, my arrows kill anything but I can't play the game in pieces so it's impossible to know how I'll do against the steel robots.
I only know to pump up my "Dexterity" and let the rest take care of itself.

I need to study up on where to find the bestest scrolls.

It's 3 days (or so) till "starfield" and I can wait for it and a review (and a walkthrough and cheats)

--------

Well, I couldn't wait, and there is a gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach, did I balance My checking account correctly?

I don't know but let's say I did.

I started out as a miner (cool) / "Long Hauler" and then some shady guy grants me the use of a spaceship and a bot.

Am I thinking "Star wars" yet?
no.

And is this bleeding edge game good for my video-card?

It's very odd, the game starts out too dark, too-low contrast.

If it silently prefers HDR or some other trendy feature, maybe this is the condescending way it infers that.

Anyway I got to thinking about my AMD-Adrenalin driver, which only lately has decided to reset itself every time the computer boots up.

Bombastic know-it-alls will point to a possible error, or a conflicting driver.

*I* point to the fact that it never reset itself before, and the drivers are the same, and the card (through testing) works fine.

Damn fine.

But 3DMark is a heartless taskmaster and only says "Good" as an appraisal.

I suppose if I wait a year, it'll be "Average."

I like driving except it's boring not knowing where I'm going.

From wherever you're at, a drive to Orlando or Vegas would be a long trip, right?

The little egg on my screen is telling me I'm aiming for the right spot, but it's been a half hour and the egg hasn't gotten any bigger.

They trap you in the tutorial, into believing you'll actually *drive*, but the googled reality is that you just hop from one planet to another using a map they forgot to mention.

Will I eventually meet good guys intent on meeting me to extract the alien information from my mind, with bad guys trying to do the same?

Carefully setting up my trainer-cheat one key at a time, is instantly destroyed by me mashing a bug.

The things I do accidentally are exponentially worse than the teeny things I try doing on purpose. But especially this ripe-smelling keyboard.

I kind of liked being a miner.

Nope.
No nice face for me!

My looks are not Office material but deep in a dark mine, maybe no one notices.

(their face-looking thing kind of sucks)

My blood sugar is dipping too low, did I double inject?

Lower and lower it goes. Usually for a week it's been alarmingly high.

Real life cuts-in and pulls you out of immersive situations! I suppose I could go google the plot, but I'd rather not.

This game is seriously nested-quest, alligator / drain-swamp game.

Go to the planet to meet the guy who wants to travel to the bank which is being robbed with hostages.

o...k.

I suspect womanly charms are in order, 

I hope I'm gussied up and my charisma is tip-top.

Tonight I dreamed of demons with evil intents doing gross things using cryptic phrases, in a language befitting Le Morte d'Arthur.

My dream factory is stuck on BG3.
