Happy Thursday PC gamers! What better way to celebrate Friday eve than with a brand-new episode of the PC Gamer Chat Log podcast?
First of all, thank you all for your kind words on last week's episode with Baldur's Gate 3 lead writer Adam Smith. I'm glad you all enjoyed listening just as much as Lauren and I enjoyed recording the podcast. If you haven't had the chance to check it out yet, what are you doing?! Go, go, go! Then come back here to listen to this week's episode, obviously.
It's just Lauren and I this week, and we're gathering up our strongest videogame heroes to compile the ultimate RPG party. Every good party has a strong tank, dexterous ranged damage dealer, a powerful mage, and someone to keep them all alive along the way.
We picked our parties in secret, coming together during this episode to reveal our choices and do our best to justify them. We both went for pretty different methods. By that, I mean I took on this challenge like an absolute goblin, while Lauren did the task properly. Sorry, Lauren. Make her feel better by dropping your own ultimate RPG party picks in the comments, would you? Also just so you know, we actually filmed this right before Baldur's Gate 3 came out, if you're wondering why there's a distinct lack of horny companions.
Don't forget to join us at the start of the podcast for our weekly catchup, where we chat about what we've been playing over the last week. Is it a lot of Baldur's Gate 3 again? Perhaps. Give it a listen and find out!

Mollie spent her early childhood deeply invested in games like Killer Instinct, Toontown and Audition Online, which continue to form the pillars of her personality today. She joined PC Gamer in 2020 as a news writer and now lends her expertise to write a wealth of features, guides and reviews with a dash of chaos. She can often be found causing mischief in Final Fantasy 14, using those experiences to write neat things about her favourite MMO. When she's not staring at her bunny girl she can be found sweating out rhythm games, pretending to be good at fighting games or spending far too much money at her local arcade.
