Dragon Age Origins was a spiritual sequel to the Baldur's Gate games, and even that came up short in terms of fle🐎xibility.

DA has only retreated from that, as if that wasn't what the market wanted until they got to Veilguard which is basically a rejection of what inspired it🎃.

BG3 💙is an exception, but it does show how misguided that approach was even now. BG3 took the pen and paper approach beyond the orig൲inal games, while VG is very much an action game made to appeal to current audience... comparing the approaches is relevant.

The Pro is ꩲgoing to run most games with comparable(sometimes better or much be🌃tter)graphics at twice the framerate. That is far from meaningless.

I love my steamdeck bಌut the resolution and framerate can still be downright nasty o𓆏n many games.

If I could have🐠 a new one✤ with twice the framerate on every game or much higher res with fps isn't a concern I would be pissed if they don't make it.

All the review bombing aside I'm under the 🐟impression the viewership is far far off most of the other SW tv shows.

It would indicate the lauded accessibility to new viewers is working even less than🐈 🧜the shows that are built on existing lore.

Generally overall quality seems to be a bigger driver. Some of The Mandalorian's biggest viewership came from the deepest lore cuts and even the best Star Wars of the last two decades (Clone Wars, Rogue One, Bad Batch and Andor) is still fundamentally built around e🃏xisting lore. The shows are built around it without it being just lore dumps.

Quality is very possible anꦺd often bolstered by strong, relativel♍y strict worlds.

The MCU has gone off the rails, but its crowning achievement(arguably the most successful movie in history) relied in a heavy knowledge of 20 movies worth of story, characters and lore. It has struggled, much like Acolyte whe𝓰n it strayed too far from its own world.

The Acolyte is not the worst t𝓡hing ever created, despite all the backlash, but it isn't a strong argument for wider stories written by non fans either.
