there are probably mods to increase FOV even further and disable head bobbing, I'll look into it even though I think it should absolutely be the industry standard to already include such options in video games
I've arrived at Talmberg, so it's just the beginning of the game; first thing I did was get my ass kicked by a drunkard so that was fun then I came back, managed to beat him up and stole all of his chickens; the fact you can't save scum really does make it better, which is kind of surprising since that's how I usually play
> I doubt that any of the cut scenes are more than 2 minutes. Why do you feel the need to pause that?
sure, it's only two minutes but I just don't see why not include the option to hit pause whenever - what if my phone rings or someone knocks on my door? game is just a toy and it doesn't take precedence over real life
haven't played any of the BG games, I've attempted to play BG1 once but I think I'm too spoiled by modern games because it felt clunky and frustrating (same happened with KOTOR which I wanted to play so badly); so I'm going to start with BG3 - I did the same with Divinity: Original Sin 2 (probably missed some lore or throwbacks but I don't really mind)
