The new one hardly seems appealing either. It looks like a solid reset on everything you’ve done so far.
Getting it right the first time has become an impossible task.

We so far met an Otter wizard in Candlekeep, but currently on a break due to the dm being overworked/stressed and needing a rest.
That’s the one.
The tonal shift was also pretty poor - a self-interested/selfish character is not going to care about a city of paladins going under, and a good character (I was playing a paladin in the city guard) is going to ball at the idea of trading souls as currency or fuel in Avernus, ruining the main mechanic of the campaign.
So instead we just went back to the city inside hell and fought to liberate it instead of whatever you’re meant to do

Our party consists of an angry dwarf barbarian playing into the stereotype of that, a human monk small town girl who is a goody two shoes and idolizes heroes and adventuring lifestyle(but getting dissapointed by how it actually is), a nerdy wild sorceress who is mainly looking out for herself(and friends) and my character who is mostly good, but she isnt a people person and kinda accidentaled her way into adventuring.
do we have a fellow rude tales fan in the audience
The players is a dnd nerd so possibly. I dont know though, need to ask her!
The entire group is just our usual friend group that plays stuff together.
The hell bit of Avernus is really cool, the Baldur’s Gate bit is lame.
Life currently is a balancing act between;
Work - actually pretty ok right now
Regular life - flip flops between ‘ok’ and ‘what even is my purpose in life, and why do I feel crushingly overwhelmed and anxious?’
Time management - Bitter laughter
Living conditions - good at the moment, but due to change in circumstances I need to let the housing folks know at some point, and I have no idea if I’m going to be allowed to stay where I am (it’s work housing, long story short) or if I’ll be given a timeframe to move out, and just what that timeframe will be…
-Buries head in pilow, muffled screaming-
Felt like it only existed to give players a way to get to the required hell level and so they could put Baldur’s Gate on the title.
Elturel: Descent into Avernus isn’t quite as name recognition.
Ight, cheers you two for the answers. I too find that community in these games often ends up being complete dog 
, so I’m kind of expecting the same with Chiv2. That aspect aside, don’t see much point in switching from Mordhau personally (not that I played it in the last year lol)
Going Medieval is consuming my time.
I like to build the pretty castles.

I love my violent idiots.
So many comedies that aged like a bowl of milk with a drowned rat in it. Great for novelty, the memes and occasional nostalgia but then this one scene comes along…

Ace Ventura recently played on our tv channels a while back and thats one movie thats aged terribly with the entire finale being one giant transphobic(and homophobic) “joke”.

Oh they’ve tried to justify the joke with it being about how a cool guy like Ace is so weak that he goes crying game upon realising it, which is nonsense.
How about recognising that Einhorn is actually a murdering obsessive who went through all these procedures not out of some deep seated need but pure vengeance?

Isnt the sequel also basically just “haha Africa is weird and funny, they speak ooga booga and live in hutts”? stretched into a movie.
I like Jim Carrey but not his best work(s).
You mean Resident Evil 5?

That was very Yikes back then. Its like they couldnt help themselves, it was not so bad until that one part.
That’s what makes it so great/terrible. It starts off pretty innocent and then you hit the river level and then
and THEN
