2024-03-25, 07:57 AMwarty goblin replied to a thread Baldur's Gate 3 II: The Urge for a Second Playthrough in Gaming (Other)The combat was pretty repetitive, I didn't find it worse than a lot of RPGs, and better than some.

Blood-red were his spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat,
When they shot him down on the highway,

Down like a dog on the highway,
And he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat.Alfred Noyes, The Highwayman, 1906.
