Podcast episode 112: the excuse to talk about Baldur’s Gate 3 specialRoll for perception
Roll for perception
Alice Bee is back from holiday in time for a massive CRPG to enter early access, so this episode is supposedly about our favourite companions in games, but is really mostly aboutBaldur’s Gate 3, Larian’s massive new Dungeons & Dragons-themed, reawakening-a-classic fantasy game. She and Matthew have both played a bit of it (Matthew a lot more than her), but we have a chinwag about it and the characters in it nonetheless.
We do also get to chatting about our actual favourite companions from other games, though. There are mentions for some old reliables that I bet some of you already knew were going to come up, as well as some surprise entries from new up and comers. We like to keep things fresh here at the Electronic Wireless Show. Just don’t hit your head on all the digressions, or in this week’s Cavern Of Lies, which is a lil' D&D treat.

Nate also talked a bit about the characters in spaceship battle blockbusterStar Wars: Squadrons, which herecently reviewed. In particular, he hates Fisk the abominable lizard, but in a good way.
We couldn’t get out of a discussion on companions without talking aboutMass Effect, in particularMass Effect 2, and in most particular Garrus, the best boy in the universe. But we mention a lot of others, too. Matthew is disappointed with Thane’s plotline in ME3, but we can’t have everything.Mass Effect 2is on our best RPGs list, but also ourbest space games, andbest games of the 2010s. Mordin is on Brendy’sworst scientists list. Booooooo.
Nate also got in a late shout out to King Shit Lizard the Red Prince fromDivinity: Original Sin 2.
My impression of the Chamberlain from The Dark Crystal is very accurate.
