Good, you will have a blast and you may laugh. Don't let anyone push the second one on you though unless you've traveled awhile with the first. There are improvements, but Larian also forgot to entertain through a good narrative.

and Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

Even though I have both this game and the sequel, I'm not going to shill one over the other. Both are wonderful in their own way, and you're going to want to camp in the first one enough so that you can appreciate how good it is before the second game adds a negative state to it.

Eventually I want to try Pillars of Eternity as well.

You'll likely want to play them both, but the first game only does real time with pause while the sequel has options for turn-based. That somewhat matters because Baldurs Gate 3 only does turn-based. Both Pathfinder games allow you to choose between either.

Right now I'm researching on what exactly the fuck a 1d6+3 or 1d10(1d8)+3 means

1d6

one six sided die

initial strike without (strength) other modifers can be either 1 to 6. Without strength modifiers or luck or blessings, the lowest strike is 1.

The (+3) is then added to whatever the initial roll was. If it was a 1, the strike's total is then 4 instead.

Knowing this much came from my own research with 'Pathfinder: Kingmaker' when I wanted to go as a full party of wizards using daggers. Default daggers in that game do 1d4 damage (so one 4 sided die) for comparison.

Spend any decent amount of time in prison and tell me how great it is to be separated from free society. Tell me how great they have it.

They get to LIVE. They get to continue existing when the persons they murdered don't. In most cases, they even got to watch the family bawl their out eyes in the courtroom before their prison sentences begin.

I'm not being obtuse in saying that it isn't vengenance. Of course its vengeance, with the benefit that the family themselves don't have to be vigilantes. The investigators can prove who did it, and then deal with the disposal.
