Also, Karlach is overrated.

Yeah that was probably just the tadpole talking.

I really think this is accurate. Some good foundation was present in Act 3, but it really felt rushed and less nuanced. Also…

Spoiler: Spoiler for BG3 ending

I really didn’t like the focus on the mind flayers, and I thought surely there will be some solution and achievement for not using any tadpoles or tadpole powers! Nope, nothing, and not only that you’re forced to empower the Emperor (who I hated) or sacrifice one of your characters so that you can drive a mind flayers at the end. The devs seemed to think illithids were “rad” and everyone must want to play one! As I understand there’s a way to glitch the game with Gale and Lae’zel during the Orpheus conversation so no one has to become a mind flayers, but I had no desire to go back and try it u

Agreed on your spoiler tagged text!

Yeah. I'm really hoping Hazbin Hotel gets the fifth season its creator pictured being the logical endpoint for the series.

While there have been some notable series that have been "rescued," I feel like those are in the minority. But one can always hope.

I hate that it is such a gamble as it restricts what stories can get told, and they seem to never want to gamble on anything solid it is like they are using bad data.

not a me series but I hope it ends well if only so I do not have to get another firefly situation washing up on my shores

Arguably, not taking chances and gambles is part of what is deadening modern media, leading us to formulaic storytelling, to so many premature cancellations.

This one is not so much a case of needing rescue at this point as just they've gotten the go-ahead for seasons 3 and 4, but not yet 5. The last time I saw that situation was Babylon 5, and it produced a very rocky last two seasons (its more complicated, of course).
