Baldur's Gate 3 is incredibly detailed in combat though, so much so that it takes sometime to wrap your head around it. I'm addition to pushing and jumping, which both sound so simple but have a huge effect on gameplay, there's also environmental things that you just don't think of because in other games in the genre it isn't an option. As an example, there's a giant spider that wanders around on webs and summons smaller spiders from eggs, you can sneak around to destroy the eggs before combat to stop summoning and destroy the webs whilst the spider is on them to cause it to drop and take extreme damage.
So you're right that character building may be better in Pathfinder - I really do love casting touch spells through weapons, it's great - the combat in Baldur's Gate 3 is far more interactive and dynamic. It's also way more accessible.
Either is a good choice, but I give the edge to Baldur's Gate 3 because, well, every single line is voice acted and motion captured, and the freedom you get in the story is astounding. It's such a profound improvement, a night and day difference from the basically everything else in the genre.
If you're looking for similar games to move onto, Baldur's Gate 3 is in its own tier, right at the top of the genre. Not only that but it's a step forward mechanically and presentation wise for the whole genre as well. In this game I once threw an angry hyena at an enemy. Later just threw enemies at their friends.
Pathfinder Kingmaker and Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous are both excellent as well. Especially Wrath, though still with the aged style graphically speaking. You can cast touch spells through weapons! In the second one I became a lich queen with an army of undead, it might be my favourite CRPG ever because of that. It's awesome.
Divinity Original Sin and its sequel are also brilliant, made by bg3 Devs Larian on their own ruleset. I'm currently replaying the second one with my sister (yep, it's co-op), we are both playing undead. We are healed by poison and damaged by healing. Very cool.
The ads on that page are so shit that I stopped trying to read three paragraphs in after I tried to close the popup, floating, and auto playing video and the x didn't work.
I did, only shortcuts are turned on. It's just sites that I go to, after a few times they show up on the shortcuts section until I hold on them and select delete from history. Does seem weird that it does it considering jump back in, recently visited and recent bookmarks are disabled.
I've actually removed them, I want a way to stop it happening again. I'll visit a random site a few times for a screenshot when I get chance soon. The sites I've pinned myself have a little pin icon on them whilst the other stuff that's appearing doesn't, if that helps?
It definitely detracted, there's a boss fight against Deathstroke (takes over the militia after Arkham Knight is taken care of in the story) but instead of an amazing fight you get chased around in the batmobile, it's a shit joke.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the Batmobile itself, just how much of a focus was on it. I didn't even dislike the tank combat, other than repetition. The first scene and arriving at GCHQ are extremely cool, they just put way too much of the batmobile stuff in.
My other disappointment is that they insisted Arkham Knight was a new character, but I'd already figured out who it was before the game released, so the "reveal" of Todd in game was more like a reveal of their lie. Outside of that and too much batmobile that game is absolutely phenomenal.
Funnily enough Mad Max had much better vehicular combat. If you want a similar (melee) combat system to these two that's also very well done, Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor (the first one, not Shadow of War) is fantastic for it. The second one kinda fumbles expanding on it in my opinion (it didn't do so much expand on it as split it up into play styles, so you had less stuff available to you at any moment), but the first game's combat is fantastic.
I love the Surface Pro 2 I had, unfortunately the charger stopped charging so now it's a big, thicc placemat. Tablet with a full OS and detachable keyboard was my dream since about a decade before any of them existed. Similar to how the Steamdeck was my dream gaming device for a decade before the switch even existed. Now if only I could afford one...
Do you really think the people in charge and responsible for that decision are the ones who got fired? Do you really think that's how accountability works in giant mega corporations?
Now I just need a way to stop it dumping other stuff in there, making the shortcuts function more like the recent sites bit that I've already disabled.
It's an RPG on a computer? Specifically tabletop, like Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder, but on a computer. Example games : Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, The Temple of Elemental Evil, etc.
