You're telling me now for the first time.
bluejean baby.. Hogwarts lady
idk I played some starfield and I watched my gf play the harry potter game and it doesn't seem much better
baldurs gate 3 tho seems pretty great, but I don't like that the plot is all about illithids (boring)
Just install a mod to replace all mind flayers with mine flails
This really has no right being this funny
I don't like that the plot is all about illithids (boring)
Mind Flayers are the hook, but its a full on brawl between supernatural factions by the end. You get a healthy number of gods, devils, and undead monsters all piling in.
But mostly curving back around to illithids, especially in the final plot beats.

Anti-calamari discrimination 
Yeah mind flayers suck, and it sucks that anything involving the underdark has to so heavily involve them. Give me more svirfnebli if we must go to the fucking underdark
(I've never played Baldur's Gate 3 so I have no idea whether we get svirfneblin action but I have read R.A. Salvatore's books and this reminded me to rant about it)
My character's guardian is a svirfneblin! She has both of her hands, though, so no bivrip 
action.

Oh no the wizard apartheid enforcement game doesn't have lasting appeal except as nostalgia caressing for insufferable liberals 🎻
Nobody cares about my bad wizard game 
Idk, man. Sounds like a skills issue to me.
What a crossover between Armored Core 6 and the TERF wizard game would look like:
Does the HP game actually do anything... interesting? I saw footage of it and the whole time they were just inside the school or in some backwoods. I would like to terrorize people in the city with my magic spells, create money from thin air, and get sponsored by the shadow government
None of those things except maybe the shadow government because you basically play a born-special child soldier enforcing the status quo against a marginalized ethnic group.
Thoughts on a game (that wasn't TERF shit) where you still put down a slave rebellion, but they full on lean into being a neoliberal ghoul? You can get sponsored by the shadow government for unlimited currency, you can instigate wars off of false pretenses, you can empower landlords for rep with your shadow faction, you have missions to extract slaves and resources from other countries, etc. Would you play it?

not that i'm aware of. good thing too, those goblins sure scream blood libel, it would be crazy to have them in a game at all in 2023
Yeah. Gamingcirlcjerk obsessed over it for months beyond its initial hype. It was another cash grab attaching a popular IP with a mediocre product to create buzz. The Mario Movie and One Piece Live Action also fall into this category.
Basically it coasted on advertising. People thought it's the next big thing because they saw it everywhere, not realising that thats because more money went into advertising than paying the devs to make a good game.
