Put next to each other, I'm impressed with how they work as a set ... either the standard or alt covers. I actually see myself going either way (can't justify getting both).

Bioware got their lunch so thoroughly eaten by Larian and BG3 that there's no way DA4 can measure up. I'll watch the gameplay but it sounds like it'll be more on the action-y side of the equation. But then, my fav has always been DA2, or as I know it, the one where Hawke and a bunch of...

I like the idea of a giant circuit board. Capacitors and Resistors as large as a person and energy arcing around changing it as gates alter the current around the map.

Well there's the matter of why Mae thinks she and the Jedi have "unfinished business", we might get a flashback to that. There's clearly something more to that childhood incident.

TBH, I sort of assumed that was what was going to happen, when all the promotional material had that character in only one setting.

The fight choreography is really good

I voted MM, but tbh, they look great together, there's a cohesion and yet distinctiveness.

Initial impression ... this is my fav of the three. Really digging the back cover, just a wall of monsters staring right at you, but the action in the front is really nice too.

It's not like Lindy was incapable of walking, it's that she's not used to making the decisions of where/how to walk. The skill is there, the mental effort to steer and control had been left to the Dots.

I prefer a landscape screen because a portrait screen is too tall for me and really separates me from the players. I dislike setting myself that apart from the group. Also, I do not roll dice behind a screen in combat, so I'd find portrait too intrusive for me. Heck, there are times I find even...

I think I'll skip to the Druid and Sorcerer first (my fav core classes), then go back and read through the whole book.

Yes and no. The microaggressions and comments were there, I didn't notice them during the first watch, but they're there on the rewatch. I thought she was pretty horrible from the get go, but I had worried that this whole episode would be "old man yells about the kids and their social medias".

The Mystic was definitely pulled too thin by trying to be "all of Psionics" in one package, but we now have the Soulknife and Psi Warrior, Aberrant Mind and Great Old One Patron, so another take on the Mystic can be narrower in scope

This all gets reinforced by the DnD fantasy fiction that reinforces those DnDisms. And in more recent fantasy fiction, the Iron Druid series is all about a Druid that shapeshifts and is considered super powerful because he can use cold iron and wield magic.

I frickin' called it. Myself from the DMG cover thread:
