First Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough completed

On September 16th, 5 days short of a year after I started playing Baldur's Gate 3, I watched the credits roll on my solo playthrough. I'd played 420 hours up to that point across all my playthroughs, the rest of which are all co-ops or crossplays.

BG3 is a truly special game, and I feel lucky to be able to experience it. Now that I've finished my solo playthrough, I will start a different game, but I will still continue my playthroughs with others. And after finishing a couple of different games, I will go back to BG3 to play it through once as Shadowheart and once as resist Durge.

In my solo playthrough, Karlach was my lover, Orpheus became a mind flayer, and I decided to join the Harpers when I spoke with Jaheira at the reunion party. I played on Balanced difficulty, and I found two battles especially hard: Cazador and Viconia. Possibly because I did it after these two, Raphael felt almost easy. The last battle on top of the brain was a lot of fun; Mizora disintegrated the Emperor, somebody immobilized the dragon with Hold Monster, then Lae'zel finished the brain with the Silver Sword of the Astral Plane.
