I would love to buy this game on sale and never get around to playing it.

I stopped playing BG3 to try Starfield when it came out. I got through the intro, landed at that first populated world, and stopped to talk to a janitor at the train station. She said something like, “Boy, I sure would like a cappuccino from TeraBrew!” and a quest tracker popped up for me to go buy her a cup of coffee. I delivered it to her and she gave me a bag of apple slices that healed 1 HP or some shit.

I went back to playing BG3.
