Na… Honestly
Baldurs gate and bgII had an open world where you could go anywhere. Go to certain places early game, you’d get hard fucked up. Go there later, you could make progress.
I loved the feeling of getting more powerful and that was what unlocked more of the game.
I’m not particularly surprised.
I’ve had a hp laptop provided by work before. There were DVI ports on the laptop and fucking station. I’m Windows, the ports on the laptop were disabled when plugged into the docking station. I presumed they were hard wired over to the dock
On Linux, all the ports worked just fine and I could hook up every port on the laptop and dock just fine
