The EG preview has me sold on a new game start (finished pre expansion with a male V) in 6 months time or so on the new expansion once they iron out the inevitable bugs.
Figure I’ll be burnt out and not finished on Starfield by then lol. Likely 1yr before BG3 PS5 gets a reasonable discount being digi only so that can get bought after CP exp.
Best year ever to be an rpg gaming fan? I might say yes tbh!

Quite the headline there from RPS
"perhaps the best expansion pack ever made"

I'm all over this. I think I'm free on day one as well!! I'll have to re get used to it I'm sure as I haven't played the main game for ages so not only do I get to enjoy the expansion apparently the game is very different.

I'm quite happy to do another play of the base game as well, going to approach it very differently this time and see how that goes.

Going to play for the first time (although might wait until I've finished BG3). My plan is to start with the free update and then add the expansion later on, if I like the game.
Anyone know if I'm going to be able to add the expansion on mid-game or will that require restarting?

You will be fine, one the reviews actually suggested new players do that to ensure they like the game.

I mean at this point if you're playing these kind of games on a PC, or using a pc in any serious capacity then you really should be using SSD as standard. It shouldn't be a shock.

Yeah, I bought, downloaded and started it up. Played around with the graphics then checked this thread. Glad I didn't start playing properly.

Got the original for £20 a couple of months ago and played the prologue. Was good but decided to wait for the 2.0 update. Looking forward to starting again after I’ve finished Starfield

Info from Nvidia a couple of days ago says it will be included with the patch (confusingly, it talks about Phantom Liberty being out on the original release date of the 26th, but further down mentions the 2.0 patch will include DLSS 3.5 on the 21st). www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/dlss-3-5-cyberpunk-2077-september-21-launch/

Yeah, already completed once, but I will give to another playthrough with the DLC.
But it ain't getting a look in while Baldurs Gate consumes my every free hour

Definitely jumping on this with a restart. Also, Lamplighters League and AC:Mirage releasing next month. Starfield might be relegated to explore a couple of planets before bed for the next month or so.

And Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2 and Mario Wonder. October is nuts.

Aye, I've got Spider-Man 2 and AC pre-ordered already, but no idea where I'll find the time to play them. Just hopped on a plane to Moldova to grab this too. I should probably chill the fuck out with all of these preorders (AC seems like the sensible one to give the chop)

I want to play AC but as I know it'll hit the Ubi service, which is included with PSPlus, it's the easy one to ignore for a while.
