I put about 30 hours into Witcher 3 and keep feeling like I'm missing out on something, but I also don't want to RP as Geralt, lol.
I get that and also prefer playing as Ciri, she's a really interesting character.

Hopefully they don't make Ciri start grunting all the time lol

For some reason underground giant mushroom caves just creep me out and make me feel very uneasy. I hated blackreach in Skyrim for the same reason lol
We need to study our brains and see what pathways differ. I saw you post about the Underdark and thought, "OH NICE! best part... WAIT WHAT?!" The Underdark is the one place that I wanted to live in... I'd play a whole trilogy there. I even loaded up Menzoberranzan last night... but it didn't age well.

Blackreach was my favorite spot in Skyrim too. I wonder if my ancestors lived in caves... and came out to fight your ancestors! lol.

I was thinking along the same lines! I stopped playing BG3 when I left the Underdark because I missed it.

I also forgot the rest of Skyrim existed when I found Blackreach and spent way too long down there.

@ward & @Archmage How did you two feel about the Shadow-Cursed Lands? I eventually came around to feeling neutral towards the Underdark, but I don't think that will happen with the Shadow-Cursed Lands lol

I felt at home, I wanted to slap a cabin right in the middle of it all.

I really like the more 'contained' areas of Act 2...Sharran temple, Moonrise, the Colony. The open wilderness area is fine, but it's not my favorite.

I've been playing the 1.0 release of Timberborn, they introduced some new mechanics along with automation. I'm still early game so I have not been able to play with the new stuff but I think they improved the water physics. I'm having far less floods compared to the last time I played.

Trying to diversify from only playing Hades II. Cleaned up my 3DS library and made it so that I only have three games immediately viewable when I start up the system: Pushmo, Shovel Knight, and Link Between Worlds.

Pushmo is a lot of fun. Really cute puzzle game that you can quickly pick up, beat a level or two, and then put down.

I've also been getting myself to replay Shovel Knight. I haven't played through all of the DLC and love a good platformer.

Eventually I'll get myself to pick up Link Between Worlds. I really enjoyed it when I played it and haven't played the original Link to the Past, although I really should get around to it.

BG3 update. Act 2 is done!

I really enjoyed this part of the game. The larger plot is all starting to come together and there was a lot of good character quests and moments for the companions. The gauntlet of shar stuff was probably my favorite part of this act. That Balthazaar fight sucked though and I thought he was way tougher than the actual big bad boss fight for act 2.

Towards the end of this act I did manage to get an ending to the game after telling a companion to blow themselves up because I didn't think they'd actually do it lol

I'll probably pick it back up tonight to start act 3, but I've also thought about taking a break to play something else. I'm just worried I'll forget what was going on if I do.

@bumbervevo

Pushmo World on the Wii U is a favorite puzzle game of mine, the artstyle is super cute too!

Act 3 is... huge and has some of the most fun dialog. I still like act 2 just because I love the underdark. but I'm betting you'll like act 3 the most. I'll wait and see.

Minor spoiler... do whatever you can do make it to Raphael's world/lair... it's one of the best parts of any game ever.
