feels monumental to get the first story achievement and see that only 0.1% of global players have unlocked it. it's like i was there for the building of the pyramids or something. for the start of something great and massive and infallible.

at the time of writing this i am still in act 1 (which, as an ea player, i am blazing through) and while there are certain elements i miss from ea, particularly how bitchy your companions were, most everything else perfectly nails what it attempts to do and beautifully captures the essence of what makes dungeons and dragons and the forgotten realms so mystical and enchanting. beautiful game larian. you've outdone yourself again.
