I am doing you a favor, this is a warning.

Yes, yes, I'm sure you've heard that this is the game of the decade (It is), and that the video game industry at large should look towards this game to gauge where the medium should be headed (They should), but no one is talking about the human cost. This game is going to rob you of all your time and connections.

I introduced my girlfriend to this game, she now has more hours than I do.

We introduced her best friend to this game, he now has more hours than I do.

I introduced *my* best friend to this game, he has passed me in the story.

*He* introduced his girlfriend to this game and now she plans on buying a gaming pc so *she* can play it.

I just introduced my cousin to this game a week or two back and watched her make, and fall in love with, her character. I am only now realizing my mistake.

This game will take everyone you love away from you if you let it, and they will only come back once they've satisfied their lust for Gale or Karlach or Baezel. (All green flags, romancing Minthara is a red flag ((It's me, I'm the red flag, and I'm only doing it because they won't let me smooch Jaheira))). They'll come back to you, but they'll never hold you the same way ever again, they'll have a far off look in their eyes.

They'll be thinking about Faerun.

And you will be too.

I usually appreciate reviews which discuss the content of the game; yet, describing how all your friends, one by one, succumb to BG3, is telling in itself.
Also, good parentheses :p
