Well, I finally did it and broke free of Baldur's gate 3's yoke, uninstalled it, and reinstalled Total Warhammer 2 in its place. And I'm probably going to uninstall that too, because it's really not good for me.
It's the kind of game I think I could play for 12 hours straight without even realizing it, because I did play it for like 15 hours in 2 days. Once you get over the high learning curve, it's a bottomless pit of a timesink. There's so much to do, the victory conditions for each campaign take astronomically long to complete, but it never feels boring or repetitive. Even if the Mortal Empires campaign ultimately has you running around basically the same map regardless of what faction you play, their playstyles are so decidedly different that it feels fresh each time. You always feel like you're inching towards a greater goal. There's so many layers and approaches you can take, and I haven't even touched on the real time battles yet, which can turn into nail-biting chases of snatching victory out of the jaws of defeat.
So yeah, a phenomenal, preposterously huge game, but I'd like to have a life as well, thanks.
