Yep, I was joking.
And I agree with you - mostly. Baldur's Gate 3, if done right (and admittedly that's not guaranteed) would have me missing work and playing for days straight, with the wife yelling at me in the background (unless I bought her a copy as well).
Not to get philosophical or anything (this probably isn't the forum for it, too) but I really do get hooked on some games, or the concepts of some games. My expectations for KotOR were ridiculously low (console - bah!) but my expectations for Freelancer were waaay to high.
Whilst I haven't been here for four years, do you strike me as a very level and dependable chap. I, on the other hand, am a gibbering monkey on crack when it comes to a good CRPG.
Here's hoping BG3 lives up to expectations. Or even, unbelievably, exceeds them.
(But I won't hold my breath.)
Cheers,
