Episode 17 - Baldur's Gate 3 and Oblivion Remastered

This week I played a bit more of Baldur's Gate 3 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1086940/Baldurs_Gate_3/) and decided maybe it's just not going to be a big deal for me.

Lastly, because it's the only way I could play the remaster, I recommend Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass). As always, ...
