The more annoying aspects of modern gaming are completely absent in Baldur's Gate 3.

I remember when all these games were just coming out and the hype surrounding them. My favourite was always Minsc and his hamster companion Boo from BG1.

I adore Minsc but feel like WoTC has started flooding him into stuff once they realized that he was popular. He's in a comic, in Magic the gathering now, and I think even showed up in modules and games. Their involvement in any of this has made me trepidatious, tbh. It sounds like Larian may have made a good game despite them. (I have my own nitpicks there but I'm a very inflexible and nostalgic person, so that's to be expected.)

Wasn't he also in BG2 or Icewind Dale? I have vivid memories of him but never played BG1
