    I played a ton of D2 and didn’t particularly care for D3. D4 is better than D3 but it doesn’t live up to D2 for me. It could just be where I’m at in my life and not having the time or desire to grind, but late/end game is entirely unappealing to me. The campaign is intriguing so far (I’m in act 4 out of 6) but I’m not really enjoying the gameplay overall and I’m planning to return the game.

    I’ll be picking up Baldur’s Gate 3 once it’s released. It’s not going to be D2 (which is what I thought I wanted out of D4), but I think it’ll be a better fit for what I actually want to play.










  • I don’t have much to offer in the way of suggestions, but it is genuinely relieving to know I’m not the only one with this kind of issue.

    On top of noise reducing earplugs, I’d also suggest that you try to figure out ways you can reset your stress/overwhelm levels. For me, that can be listening to music on headphones (a predictable noise, which helps settle me) or taking a shower. You can work with your partner (or family/friends/neighbors) to support you in avoiding situations that are triggering (preparing dinner, for me). You can have activities ready to entertain your child while you take care of yourself (maybe an audiobook on headphones for them, coloring pages, sensory play, etc).

    The game is about managing things and identifying when you start to get overwhelmed. There’s no silver bullet, but lots of little steps can make a huge impact.
