I was kinda hoping it'd take Baldur's Gate 3 longer to ruin my life

I guess that saving throw for my real life didn't work out.

I have fallen into the same trap that I always do with this type of game, and which I begged myself not to this time, to no avail: Roll a character, be having a good time. Suddenly think, "I wonder if there's another way to solve this area if my character were any good at stealth..." Roll another character, replay the same 8-10 hours of the game. Think to myself, "that was interesting, but how would that play out if I took the bad guy path? Or if I was a magic user? Or if I had a mustache?" Replay the same 8-10 hours of the game, ad nauseam.

And this is even after the 100 hrs I sank in Early Access.

This is ALWAYS what I do with these games and then never finish them because I burn out on the same 8-10 hours of content. Really silly…

Hopefully by the time it finally makes it to Xbox, I can get these impulses under control. 😂

Respecs are only like 200 gold! I would just reload and respec if you want to try out a different play style for an encounter.

Only 100. I respect constantly for slightly different stats/subclass/spells I want to try
