Edit: It's also in the original post, I just noticed. Not used to Lemmy yet. And I'm treating the first part of your post as being as flippant as I tend to be. If you meant it, please let me know so I can swat you with the clue-by-four.
You know, I wrote it kind as a flippant comment, not expecting anyone to pay attention (because, really, who pays attention to me?) and suddenly it's all over the place.
Anyway, I already responded to a lot of people who commented on the original post. I eventually had to mute it due to too much traffic. So if you want to see more, go look at what people were telling me over there. I don't disagree with most of it, and I think having a good discussion on the subject of this is probably a good thing.
Sounds like a contradiction in terms to me.
Interesting stats in the statistical analysis: "The most decisive contest was for Best Game or Interactive Experience, where the winner got 47.0% of nominating votes and 42.7% of final ballot first preferences, winning on the fourth count of a possible six."
The other finalists were Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Chants of Sennaar, DREDGE, Alan Wake 2, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Samantha Béart was apparently at the convention as well.
There is/was a video of the ceremony at this link: https://glasgow2024.org/whats-on/events/hugo-awards-ceremony/ The Larian crew shows up about 2/3 of the way through the ceremony.
A "save Karlach" DLC that takes into account all your choices during the main game... like, did you rescue the Gondians? Did you kill Raphael so the House of Hope is available? Did Tav and Wyll go with Karlach? Did you romance Karlach (I want SPICY)? I'd want lots more lines from Karlach and a frigging dancing scene with her at some point, because Karlach just begs to be danced with.
In my mind, the story would have to range all over the world, and we'd finally see the upper city and some of the other places visited in the previous games. Add in more potential companions, and some hard choices to make it interesting. I think my fantasy would basically make it into a BG4, so I know it'll never happen.
Tagline, "First you saved the world, now can you save your friend?"
I play (PC). Finished with the current season, just doing daily challenges now. I usually go nuts on the seasons/scoreboards and finish them as quick as possible without doing the xp grind, and just wander around having fun the rest of the time. I've been playing a bit more than a year, and I'm around level 650 or so. I'm usually close to max on caps, so all my plans and recipes sell for 1 cap no matter how rare they are, but lately I've been anti-social and put my camp away so I can just run around shooting things.
