    I was actually in the middle of my first playthrough of Disco Elysian when BG3 came out. I wasn’t planning on buying it until I saw the crazy positive reaction. I had been struggling a bit with Disco, but BG3 grabbed me immediately and I’ve been playing it a ton, and haven’t had any interest in putting it down to go back to Disco. At least for me, I can appreciate that Disco is good but it doesn’t get anywhere near they same level of interest and engagement from me. But fantasy is just my bag, so that’s a big part of it.

      If you like fantasy, there are two things you should look into when you pick up Disco Elysium again:

      • try to find and connect information about the “pale”

      • progress the main story to the end

      The game keeps some of its most interesting ideas and elements either until the end, or well enough hidden that it’s not necessarily obvious. As much fun as I’ve had with BG3 so far, nothing has stuck with me as much as those two things - though I’m only getting to chapter 2 :)
