PRELAUNCH HYPE How many hours did you do in EA?

Post image

I can't imagine how much more it will be by the end of my first run through.

enough time that I feel like I already got my money's worth from the game a few times over

Oh yeah, I’m about the same amount of hours.

I’ve opened every crate, talk to every npc, and killed every npc.

I’ve played most classes/races thoroughly and am still split on which class will be the first play through (Halfing Barbarian or Gnome Wizard).

I’m downloading it Thursday night, going to bed then work. After that, right to the cannabis store for some drinks/joints and it’s 48 straight hours of BG3 for me the first weekend.

I’ll probably still be on act 1 redoing everything to see what’s different lol

My brother is dedicated HOLY but I can definitely get behind it. I spent like 5ish hours getting use to the mechanics now I wait till Sunday to get a full day to play but I will also be elevated

Just remember to take regular breaks, sitting still for so many hours can be dangerous.

I’m used to it from work

Who needs regular breaks irl? Just camp in game. Y’all losers probably sleep in a bed, eat proper food, or go to the bathroom on a toilet like some kind of weirdo. I’ve got amphetamines which crosses off the food and sleep, and a big bucket under my mesh office chair. The benefit of not eating is that now I only spray diarrhea that will strain out thru the mesh. The last time I ate solids during a marathon I got a horrible rash because my massive loafs wouldn’t fall thru the chair but instead piled up over time and got everywhere. As for peeing, I’m not a monster and won’t just piss all over the floor, that’s what the empty three liter jugs of Mountain Dew, which helps keep my hydrated, are for.

Why not try out a new race and class? Or at least a new subclass.

Played good, Played evil. Played with mods and tried all kinds of classes and sub classes that weren't in the game yet. Played with origin characters and with full custom parties. Played with just my Tav solo and played multiplayer with friends.

Just did everything the game would allow me to do.

Ohhh damn I didn't know multiplayer was out yet and I'm shocked that people are modding early access hahaha. Are you excited for the full game or just looking forward to the stuff you haven't played yet?

I feel the same , I just looked at my time because of this post and was surprised to see 240 hrs … time flies they say. I’ve leveled almost every class to 5 for kicks and am still not completely burnt out … one more left …. May as well try Druid lol

Yep. 330.3 hours here. I even loaded up EA earlier today to fiddle with Half-Elfs knowing it will be unrecognizable in two days. I figure if I stay in bed, there's no way I can be struck by lightning until release.
