Eh, I don’t know. Been many years since and thus I don’t remember many details, but indeed the first few episodes where not very gripping for me, and the whole show started being very good after I had familiarized myself with the cast first.

I would say that the characters and the dialog are the strong points of the show. If that doesn’t click for you, then maybe skip it.

It is in a “typical” Aaron Sorkin fashion, at least from a couple of decades ago as I have not watched modern shows of him like Facebook etc. I did like it. I also liked very much, maybe more, the Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip which had similar style and dialogs, which I would heartily recommend to anyone liking the style.

The west wing is very good.

In this case it should probably classify as “offense spending” rather than defense.

Would the super kamioka in Japan count?

Path of exile.

A hot springs open room in a Japanese Ryokan near Kyoto, with a very wide barrel that I would lay with my back turned into a small hot water waterfall.

Here’s a downvote for you then. Maybe. Maybe not. Guess you’ll never know.

I have had one of the pathfinders games gifted to me, but not tried yet. I guess I should give it a go after I finish up with (totally unrelated) Monster Train.

So as someone who is an avid fan of Bg1 and bg2, but having never played divinity games because of kinda lack of interest, is bg3 worthy or not? I don’t want to get disappointed.

I had played some post-bg rpgs like dragon age: origins, but it felt like meh and I did not complete it.

Except maybe office online in my experience, but I still use Firefox regardless even there. Not a deal breaker.
