    From what you played I only played Witcher myself, and recently watched a video on, dunno maybe that can make you understand why people watch gaming videos, it’s essentially about what would happen if you play the game out of order: https://youtu.be/aA0KgaW513g

    I have mostly been playing Baldurs Gate 3 and Beyond All Reason

      Ah, yes, BG3. I’ve spent way too many hours on that game already, figured I should replay some other games. Still probably will go back to it though, it’s just so good. Hadn’t heard of Beyond All Reason, but it does look interesting. I see it’s pvp RTS, yes? Pvp is not my thing, but a solo campaign would be nice.

      And that video, yeah, I certainly understand that people want to know these things, different outcomes and dialogue, because I do too, it’s the reason I love RPG’s so much, but you see that’s the thing: I do it myself. I already played the Witcher multiple times and did everything in different orders. I’ve played Mass Effect more times than I care to admit and make different choices each time. Doing missions in different orders, or not doing certain missions at all. Letting different people die, making different companions loyal, different romances, paragon/renegade decisions, etc. Same goes for BG3 and Dragon Age and Divinity:OS/2, etc. Any game I enjoy enough to replay, I’ll replay in different ways and it’s so awesome to play a game for the umpteenth time and still find things you haven’t seen before. So I’d prefer no spoilers. I’ll cheat sometimes and just try something out of curiosity, then afterwards I reload. Or I change plot flags. Ha, but most people probably don’t want to spend the time on it and videos are a lot less time-consuming.
