It took me a month and a half to finish it back when it came out, and I never did find every cave or every Addison sign simp. Such a humongous game with too much to do, I was extremely burned out by the time I finally took on the final boss and saw the ending. Last week I reached the point where I felt like I'd gone enough distance that I was starting to forget bits and pieces, so I started my first re-play from scratch last week before the holiday. Played it for almost four days straight, took about 8 hours off to actually interact w/ my family on Thanksgiving. Loving it just as much the second time around. Definitely my goty 2023.
But I know Baludur's Gate 3 is going to win. God I loathe games like that. Never played a WRPG that I didn't think sucked shit. I suppose I got all of that stuff out of my system by playing actual pencil & paper AD&D for several years starting in 1980.
