Sharran Shadowheart run started
I've started my second playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 in which I play as Shadowheart and aim to romance Lae'zel. Before I started, I had a chat with my teenage daughter who is a huge fan of the game, an all-around go-to person for all things related to the lore, and a self-proclaimed follower of Shar. In this run, I will keep my Shadowheart faithful to Shar with the hopes of gaining more insight into the thought processes of the teenager closest to my heart. :)
I've installed some visual mods but will not use any which would make the gameplay easier. I'm attempting the Tactician difficulty and having a lot of fun with it so far! The same way when I played on the hardest difficulty on my second run of The Witcher 3, I'm enjoying the heightened immersion which comes from relying more on Alchemy, having to manage resources better and needing some careful planning before and during combat.
Another thing I'm doing differently this time is keeping a notebook and pencil next to me while I play. During my first playthrough, I noticed there were plenty of English words used in the game which were unfamiliar to me. And since one of the reasons I play video games is to keep my brain sharp through learning new things, I decided to write down and look these words up in a Dictionary & Thesaurus. At the same time, I'm also collecting words which I understand well but would be unable to translate to Hungarian despite it being my native language. I'm looking these up on Google Translate.
Here are just three examples of English words I learned from this game:
AUSPICIOUS (Hungarian: kedvező) = suggesting that there is a good chance of success - favourable, promising, encouraging, fortunate, opportune, timely, advantageous, good
INDOLENCE (Hungarian: tunyaság), indolent = lazy
RESPLENDENT (Hungarian: fénylő) = attractive and impressive
