So far enjoying the first two episodes of this adaptation. The storylines are intriguing and the show is visually stunning. There are some bad reviews out there but they mostly seem to be personal preference or, in my opinion, people looking to be intentionally negative. Yes, there is diversity in this that was not written in by Tolkien, but I simply see a "normal for modern times" cast chosen to be good characters, not a woke focal point of the story like the absolute travesty that was the Wheel of Time. If what you're looking for is a LOR storyline, wrapped in a beautiful show, keeping true to not only Tolkien's writings but Peter Jackson's visions, this seems to be it. I'm enjoying this much more than I did the Hobbit movies and I'm looking forward to the release of the next episode.

I've never had a more frustrating experience with blizzard. The graphics on this game create an ashy look on the screen, the text is not scaled correctly playing on a 60-in TV, the "fog of war" lack of line of sight is ridiculous, every night I've tried to log in, there's been a 25 minute update before I can begin play, and the fact that there's no option for offline play is unacceptable. This is substandard in every category. I guess. I'll look forward to the next baldur's gate because I'm about done trying with Diablo 4.
