well maybe, but Saint Nicholas, who Santa is (loosely) based on, is real (https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas)

Always these lickspittles with their rushed compliance before anything is even “ordered”

that sounds extremely funny! i find it pretty tough making imperfect choices in BG3, my gamer brain wants to play it “correctly”, it’s easier at the real table with dnd

imho, the funniest/most difficult choices are not in character creation, but in roleplaying. make stupid choices outside combat. steal everything. steal nothing. murder everyone. murder as few as possible. talk to nobody. always go in disguise. don’t recruit anyone to your party. etc etc
