I spent about 15 hours on this already, and luckily for me, I only ran into one major bug (froze but thankfully game autosaved a lot) and one light one (two enemies in one spot). We played online two people with two characters each and it was fun and worked great, we only controlled our own characters. Sounds like maybe it's more optimized for online than couch co-op, but who wants to buy two copies of the game if you don't have to?

Music is improved, couldn't play a lot of the first one because it kept making my partner pass out, too sleepy vibe. No issues like that here, soundtrack is nice.

I suppose it is really similar to the first, except the new taller models and stuff. The dead heroes thing seems new to and possibly neat, but I could be wrong. I see it more as a story sequel than a game sequel currently. I was happy buying it early, but for others, I'd probably recommend getting it on more of a sale.

The coolest thing I've seen all year, if only someone makes a digital/emulated version of this I'd be set for life. FFCC is an absolute stellar game that really needs a proper remake and more love

I would say...this is cool for communication in general, but it doesn't seem to help at all with flirting. Even the comments seem kind of like how I feel after watching.

Sure, knowing is important, but how do you get to the knowing part? How do you understand that it even is flirting, how do you "get on the same wavelength"? How do you communicate subtly without being misunderstood? How can you be confident that your message was received, what are the signs?

Video is a good first note: consent in communication is key, but it doesn't really offer much more.

So like...it's next month, did they happen to put up a new eta?

Finds it just as I say this...whoops https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se I think this is it, if it works let me know and I'll edit my og reply to for future sake because yeah much nicer to get something from github than some random link.

Hah, thankfully not really like that

It had one huge impact on elf culture which was completely dividing their society into 1) people that isolated and 2) people who wanted to help the other races, guide them in the right direction and such.

Since the "borders" on elf lands went into lockdown, the ones that chose to leave and help also can never return (until far far in the future when a world event breaks boundaries). They also insist on keeping their existence secret for many decades, until the other races are no longer so...combative.

In the eyes of the "inner" elves, they are giving the other races a chance to flourish without putting themselves at risk. They could have killed them all, and considered it, but they chose not to because they were once family. Let them have their chance. There's only so much damage they can do to the world without magic and they cannot enter elf lands without it, so "it's fine probably".

In the eyes of the "outer" elves, the others abandoned their kin and are putting up ridiculous walls. They see them as lacking compassion and often resent them as they made these elves choose. They also often feel the others abandoned their duty.

Just got it from this link from the nexus comments so I don't know, I heard mention of script extender many places but didn't see any kind of link until that comment

I guess I was asking broadly because last I heard anything about it was shortly after release when there was so many missing compatibilities, lots of things broken and unfinished, and everyone was hands down saying don't touch it with a ten foot pole. It sounds like it has gotten a little better, enough for some people to be fine with it, but by the majority of the replies it sounds like it still isn't "done" or is never going to be. All your information was helpful and I haven't read elsewhere so thanks!

Oh man, I typed a big response and lost it so this is going to be much shorter whoops.

To answer your questions: In the time immediately after the conflict there was a lot of desire to "go back to elf", but there were a few problems.

• They went through brainwashing to feel separate from elves (as they were created to kill them) and even though they managed to kind of break out of it, they still feel like they are and are not the same at the same time. They don't really "fit" anymore.
• It wasn't actually possible to undo the changes.
• Elven society made a decision to cut them and similar races off completely.

As for culture, there are virtually no similarities remaining at the main time period I'm writting in, as elven culture further developed in a magic-centric way and goblin culture developed in a very different direction. And since they weren't interacting whatsoever during that development, very different.

Of the elf-based races, goblins are probably the most content with their new way of life, and are usually the least ambitious. While others, like humans, deeply desire reclaiming magic somehow (not being an elf again, just getting their "birthright" magic back). Goblins have a bit of pride in their new lifestyle, and power like that would disrupt their way of living. They don't really teach about their origin (though they retain stories of it as needed) and they live among many also non-magic races, so there isn't a lot to be jealous of (for the time being).

There's also definitely some difference between the ones that have a symbiotic thing going with creatures in the wild vs those that are urban. The grief is mostly for the latter, who have to deal with the people who see them as "trash rummagers" and "thieves", and treat them harshly, instead of seeing them as the "recyclers" they are. They'll never acknowledge that cities with goblins living nearby are always cleaner.

Unsure if I count, non binary but biological women and I have had this terribly bad for all my life

Oh and I think you need to have 3 or less people in the party when you make the size change. Not 100%, but I remember doing it so it may have been necessary.

I found this in the comments of the Party Limit Begone mod by the way.
