My first (and for now, only) full playthrough was around that ballpark, and I really took my time to wander everywhere, read all the books and such. Now I’m wondering I might’ve missed stuff! Uh oh!
You probably have missed stuff! When I started my second playthrough I couldn't believe how much more content there was. And I haven't even finished act 3 in either playthrough...
Me and my partner started our second play through. We cheesed and got Karlach early, literally when we got to the grove. So there whole bits of dialogue that are new.
We found parts of the map in the forge we missed. Some side quests we missed. Characters.
We are doing things in a different order this time. Like the first time at the forge, nere was already dead. This time he was alive and we managed to get him out from behind the cave in.
We're actually talking to the companions in camp.
We didn't get rejected by astarion at the party, but rejected him instead.
La'ziel didn't reject me at the part. But I rejected her.
So much stuff is different.
Being a bard is fun. I played at the party and volo and alfira joined in on the performance.
So much fun to see all the different stuff.
264 and I just started it on one of my playthroughs. Yee
Lol I'm about there now, halfway thru act 2 but I've been doing a ton of other shit in between main story.
Holy shit I thought I had dumped a lot of time into it
I put over a hundred hours in the first week I'm pretty sure.
Honestly, Id probably won't be touching act 3 again until the eventual release of definitive edition. The act 3 ending and what happened to kalarch is such a bummer.
I'm still contemplating if I should lie to myself and say "I can totally do an asshole playthrough this time!" only to end up doing the exact same things as I did last time because I can't stand making lines of code sad.
Dark Urge made it easy for me. I kept wanting to do an "evil game" but would always lose heart and pick the nicer choices.
And then my group made me the Dark Urge character on a different playthrough. And once I realized some of the evil shit was beyond my control, I just kinda said "Fuck it" and went evil as possible.
10/10 recommend. It's so OTT it's hilarious.
Are you me? Haven't played this game yet but I always have to roleplay the good guy.
Ah, the Skyrim effect – "this playthrough will be different, I won't even touch the beacon!"
I have started Skyrim around 5 times just to make something other than a stealth archer. I now have the stealthiest orc you'll ever see.
Is that because we won't see the stealthiest orc?
Just started a new play through, wanted to delete the old one....wasn't going how I wanted.....accidentally deleted my multiplayer save I had owing with friends.....
As long as you don't close the game, your changes don't get synchronized to Steam Cloud. So you can head to your local Steam Cloud folder and copy the savegame from there.
Windows: C:\Programme (x86)\Steam\userdata
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata
Linux: ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata
In that folder the BG3 saves will be under Your_User_ID/1086940
Or you can download your savegame from here: https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage
If you did close the game though, Steam Cloud won't have your savegames anymore either and even the Steam Support won't be able to restore them.
Also take this as your sign to start making regular backups of your files ;)
I've got it on GoG, and honestly, meh. We weren't far into Act 1, so not a big loss, more of a facepalm moment.
lol ima at the same run and same time
I have 161 hours in Cuphead on the Steam Deck, I have about that much on the Switch too. I have spent over 300 hours playing Cuphead. Holy shit. I knew it was a lot, but damn.
I have S ranked every boss multiple times and got every achievement on both Switch and Deck.
That’s absurd, isn’t if?
Cuphead is a dope ass game tho, fr fr.
Tbh I haven't played in years...
...I'm about to disappear from my "social circles" this weekend.
In the thumbnail, the woman on the left looks like some dude with long hair sunglasses and a huge beard
Rock and stone!
I finished the game in 100h. I started the second playthrough and I'm too bored to continue. Not even mods can hold me.
I have kids and not a lot of free time, 4 hrs logged lol
Double load in grad school, 2 jobs including a full time job. I left the game open for days and logged 170 hours while playing exactly making one character in 15 minutes.
Pffft, amateurs. I'm at 390 hours in Starfield, started playing on September 15th.
... Help
Dude, less than 700 hours have passed. You're averaging over 12 hours a day for the last month?
Seems about right for a Bethesda game
Wow, you dodged a bullet. Could be so much worse. ;)
I have 100h with 5 campaigns and haven't finished Act1 yet
Uhm... I just hit 80 hours. With only one campaign. I haven't left act 1 yet.
Same lol. I've been just replaying the first area in a bunch of different ways. I just made it to the Underdark for the first time. Each time I start a new game I find something new it's insane how much stuff is in the first big area.
laughs in 4 thousand+ New Vegas hours
Are you okay??
Most certainly not, but if it's any consolation you can cut that number to about a 3rd and it would be more accurate to what I've actually spent playing the game over the years. I have a habit of alt-tabbing out of games and never closing them for long stretches of time where I'm watching YouTube or looking up mods for said games, lol.
5-6000 hours in factorio. 99.9% spent playing. Worst thing, that is normal numbers on factorio.
Yeah you guys in the building games sector are on another level. I never have to feel too bad about my Stream library hours knowing there are people out there playing Factorio.
200 hours? Them's rookie numbers
I don't get it
I'm seriously considering restarting at my druid grove save tens of hours ago because I missed helping the singer in the grove finish her song
Also to successfully complete "party at the camp" which I have done twice and completed not at all
What happens if she's finishing?
If you help her, she offers to let you join a duet, and you get the performance skill
