Sounds like Baldur's gate is quite captivating game. I am still to play it. When I will have time for games again. I am currently fully lost in the creative world instead.
I get what you say about the mix of reality and fantasy worlds. Perhaps, it is a coping mechanism or we all would be too depressed with the real all the time. Maybe that is why I am such a nerd. I need the escape. I need the wonder and the different perspective. Otherwise it is hard to see the light.
Otherwise, it is hard to see the light. I couldn’t agree more. Then, I hope what I immerse myself in outside of games shines bright for me, because sometimes we play dark games. Giving in, giving up, distractions and pleasures, vices and habits- they can play us more than we realize.
