Shadowheart my beloved 😍

I mean, it's incredible. The fact there are people saying this shouldn't of won game of the year is absolutely baffling.

This is just one of the greatest games I've ever played. It truly plays like a game of D&D where it feels like anything could happen at anytime and it's entirely dictated by you.

Wanna kill an entire town? Go for it. See where it takes you.

Wanna just plow everyone you see? Go for it be a whore and see where it takes you.

Wanna spend your entire time shopping and making everyone look pretty? Go for it and see where it takes you.


Obviously there is a story to follow but you decide which way it goes, every decision you make has consequences that you will definitely regret most of the time but also ones that will lead you to incredibly satisfying conclusions.


Same goes for the gameplay, I understand it may seem daunting at first especially if you're not really into the whole turn based RPG thing but my god, the way you can customise your character and how they fight it really is just you perfectly fine tuning the gameplay to fit your style and it can get so goddamn satisfying when you figure out the perfect builds that work for you.


Speaking of decisions and fine-tuning, the world is so freaking detailed, anywhere you go you'll either find a secret, a side quest or just a random goofy ass encounter and it brings the feeling that the world truly is teeming with life.

And oh my god your companions are the best, well some of them.

I didn't really care for Gale.... Fuck you Gale.

But everyone else, Karlach, Astarion, Shadowheart my beloved 😍. I fell in love with some of these characters so goddamn fast just purely from how well they're written and voice acted. I only wanted happy endings for them. And the fact I even missed some unlockable companions just from choices I made which makes me wanna go back and replay it even more.


I cannot stress enough how obvious it is that so much love and care was put into this absolute masterpiece. I mean there is a sex scene with a dude with tentacles for a face. Like if that doesn't scream masterpiece I don't know what does.



Do yourself a favour and play this. Imma go make another character and start again. Karlach romance timeeeee, sorry Shadowheart bb.


I'm pretty sure most of this made sense, I am ill and sleep deprived and it is 1am shhh
