I kinda disagree, keeps me from keeping a barrelmancer in my party at all times.

I don’t mind encumbrance in Baldur’s Gate. I think people are only thinking of I got all this cool stuff why should I have to choose between it all. I see it as limiting cheese mechanics. It could limit infinite money by not letting people pick up every single item to sell. Or if there was no encumbrance why would I use tactics when I can just use barrelmancy? I have to fight these powerful opponents? Nah I’m just gonna hit em with x amount of exploding barrels till they die since I can carry every barrel ever.

I don’t like encumbrance, but I’ve never felt it negatively impact my enjoyment of a game. I didn’t even know encumbrance was this much of an issue honestly. It just makes sense in certain games, imo.

Edit: Could also be made a toggle-able feature or unlock?

I would probably save up for the seriesX or PS5. If the S is already getting iffy here, what content are they gonna take out in future games? Why take that chance instead of saving for a system that’s actually convenient? I’d say avoid the series S.

I get what you mean lol. I used to get pissed at the luck, but enjoyed when I was outsmarted. Now I enjoy all outcomes cause I have been able to get others into boardgames. If I play with new people I try to play towards getting them to win cause that gets them to want to play more. And once everyone knows how to play I get to play an earnest game. I’ll even take a day off work every month to get friends together for boardgames, food, and drinks.

I guess that’s kind of a reason I have so many boardgames, depending who’s playing we might enjoy one more than another. But I noticed more people liking the co-op ones more than vs games lately. Started with pandemic, then Arkham Horror and Mansions of Madness, and now Eldritch Horror is what we’ve played most. Hopefully I get to try some of the new ones I got, looking forward to Unfathomable.

I also have a butt load of boardgames, I like playing Catan not a lot but maybe once a year. The ones I keep going back to are Star wars epic duels, Eldritch Horror, and Arcadia/Starcadia Quest.

Kingdom Death, damn their amazing looking miniatures.

I have no ragrets paying full price for this one. And I don’t get why missing the launch week means you have to wait for sales.

Tbf when I worked at BK they told me everything I would be doing as a line cook. When I started my shift the first thing the supervisor told me to do was clean the washrooms. I told them no, I was hired as a line cook and no one told me about washrooms. So the supe says I can clean them or he’ll get the manager involved and I’ll probably be fired. I said sure call him. Supe comes back and tells me to start in the kitchen. Turned out line cooks were not supposed to be cleaning washrooms and the manager came in the next day to explain everyone’s duties.

But later turned out that supe was going out with one of the cashiers.
