The Odyssey is just celebrity memoirs for ancient Greek mythology.

Good. I need time to play at least a few other games once I finish with BG3.

I love the battles in Total War games and I still end up auto-resolving most of them. There's just too damn many battles and a lot of them are largely the same thing over and over again.

In MOBAs I've always heard them called gap closers or dashes.

My secret to avoid that stage is to never get around to writing in the first place. I'm a great writer as long as I never have to put words on a page.

Just take the first thing that's good enough.
