I got the same thing

This is still my favourite vim-related meme. So fucking funny

I just love everything about this whole thing.

I love the game itself, what an incredible feat.

I love how almost naively passionate and nerdy the folks at Larian are.

I love how aside from a few AAA game developers trying to tell everyone that this masterpiece shouldn’t set the new standard for RPGs (LOL) Everyone else just seems so happy these maniacs have actually pulled it off.

I love the freedom this game offers. So many permutations, over 170 hrs of cinematics, most of which the average player will never see. All so that the world can feel almost as limitless as the tabletop D&D. There were no shortcuts to this goal. I’m sure the tech is great, but fundamentally, this wasn’t about clever technology, which can only do so much. It was about the herculean effort of 400+ people making content for over 6 years in some of the most indulgent over-engineering I’ve ever seen in a AAA title.

They could have rolled out the EA Act I a few years ago and it still would have been better than most RPGs out there. Instead, we get an Act I with 33% more content and 2 entirely new acts.

Got two kids under 4 and a demanding job so no idea when I’ll get to play even. But I’m just so happy something like this has happened in this shitty, cynical industry.
