I don't know how much Larian has changed BG3 from the classical tabletop, but it feels like everything is the same. To be fair, just pick the class and race you most like and play it, ignore all the minmaxing gatekeepers and articles like this, just have your own fun and come to your own conclusions.
How is it for role-playing? I think that was my favorite part with the character I had.
I have about 30 hours and I haven't even left the first area, but from what I've seen, you never go long without a dialogue choice with a skill/race/class check. The charisma and wisdom based checks are constant, so my Warlock is always useful no matter what.
The sheer number of high level enemies and bosses I've killed as a Warlock with one hit of my Eldritch Blast charged with Repelling Blast that throws them down a pit begs to differ. There's no ukulele strumming or bongos banging that'll top the fun and laughs I have every time I see an enemy relatively close to a big fall.
Other than that, the game is VERY generous with healing items and options all around. There's so many dialogue options which gave me DC 5 or less to pass, along with many inspiration sources that you'll barely need Bard's "essential" skills.
When you play with a controller, the UI is completely different. Menus are simpler; you control your character movement with the left stick, camera rotation and zoom (from third person, perspective and tactical view) with the right stick; you don't have a hotbar with your skills, instead you access everything with the shoulder buttons that open a radial menu; you can use the dpad to change what your target is (enemies, items, world clutter).
In general, you can play the game without any problems with a controller.
Samsung hasn't fixed it, because there's nothing to fix, as this is Google's intention. The gestures work but are very finnicky and the animations are laggy or don't play at all. Xiaomi decided that they don't want this so they disabled gestures with third party launchers.
If this is anything like the first EU decision and how it is worded, people are vastly overstating what it actually means. The important part about that one decision is that devices with water protection should only be serviceable by certified professionals, which should include the manufacturer's repairmen and third parties, but not the end user. On the removable batteries part, having pull tabs already suffice the requirements, the batteries just can't be glued down requiring alcohol or other prying methods to remove.
The thing is that the people that buy Nintendo they don't care about the performance of the console, they care about the games, and those you can only get on Nintendo consoles (yes, you can emulate games but emulation is a very niche thing that most people won't bother doing)
This might be applicable to the handful of people that care about this. To the general populace? They don't care and will keep buying the consoles and games.
GHUB likes to wipe my keybinds and onboard settings every few weeks for no reason, and then sometimes it just completely refuses to open, so I have to reinstall the program just so I can reconfigure everything again.
It sure is a good plan when the country's population is tired of living in constant fear of being robbed, tortured, raped, killed because a gang wanted to have a giggle
Try talking to literally any El Salvadorian (?) for a minute and you'll see everyone supports this cracking down of gangs. The gangs left the country in a deplorable, ridiculously violent state, and now people can finally sleep with two eyes closed.
While the salaries and economic power in Brazil are a lot lower than the US, our internet and phone plans are a lot cheaper, accessible and provide a better service than most of the US, that still stuck in data caps, feature blocking and low speeds.
I have never heard about this here in Latin America. If you want to port forward you can easily do it via your router, even the ISP's provided ones. There's also nothing stopping you from using the ISP router only as a bridge and handling everything from your own router, the ISP router only needs to receive the internet and nothing more.
The only thing about being connectable is that we have dynamic IPs, but you can easily solve that with DDNS

That still comes as a surprise to me because Eldritch Blast feels like it hits anything anywhere in the game.
