It's interesting hearing what counts as a campaign for different groups, for mine (if we still played) the Draw Steel version of the Delian Tomb would be a full campaign.

Hopefully in 6 months they'll have come up with better criticisms

nevermind, this whole topic is a waste of time

Did it never occur to you that what you're reading as disinterest is...him roleplaying Jago?

From recent appearances it seems like he's getting worse at it.

I've been tricked by a string of unrelated people across several places online insisting that anyone who liked Baldur's Gate 3 would absolutely love "Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader". I've played it long enough to say that unless the reason you liked BG3 is you just love any and all CRPGs...

The characters are a big part of what sets it apart from other LitRPG stuff I've had the misfortune to read. The fact that the characters also think the AI's pop culture humor is as dumb as I do helps too.

I'm of two minds about this. I do find that most of the people doing it are not really adding much more, or worse, are there to argue. And if it's thing I notice someone doing habitually it makes me start to consider putting them on ignore. But sometimes when I don't like something I want to...
