My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
The leaks looked somewhat promising to me. If the battle system doesn't have D:OS2 armor system and they have hand placed loot instead of leveled randomized garbage it already fixes most of the issues I had with their previous game.
I can see the similarities when people say the artstyle looks like DA:I, but as long as it doesn't have abominations like that one elf I don't really care.
The past tense dialogue is weird, but it's something that I stop paying attention to after an hour of playtime.

Could they have AT LEAST kept the style and aesthetic of Baldur’s Gate, ffs of course not. This is genuinely the only thing pissing me off.

No because nobody is crazy enought to make painted backgrounds anymore and making them in 3D would be too much of a work.
To retain the uniqueness and flair of BG but in 3D, that would need a tremendous number of 3D assets that would only be used once or twice.


why are you the absolute worst poster on this forum?

because you're the absolute BEST and nature's all about balance and such.



In old IE game you always could understand what happens on the screen.
that is absolute false

The absolute madmen.
How Swen's cock fits your mouth?
Jeesh... at least take it and suck it somewhere with more privacy.

Visuals - dogshit
Writing - dogshit
Plot - guaranteed dogshit
UI - dogshit
Music - inevitably dogshit
Character advancement - probably dogshit
Itemisation - probably dogshit
Exploration/Setting - I foresee that it's dogshit
Combat - probably good, but who cares when it has nothing supporting it?

It's dogshit. And why are we even talking about it, just because some corporate IP vampires managed to shell out some dosh to plaster Baldur's Gate on their gayme? Dogshit.

What's the difference between this game and BG3?
Bcause from what I've seen from leaked screenshots, Solasta is visually more appealing and has some better dialogue design.

Oh, boy. Only two hours left for the rapidly increasing butthurt-madness in this thread. 300 pages is only prologue for this legendary folio

I daresay the leaks mitigated The Edge somewhat. Not that there's any foreseeable limit to it.

So my official blog-based predictions were turn-based combat system with rotatable/zoomable isometric-esque perspective (30-08-19). I think most 'Dexers share that prediction. I also made predictions on overworld and campaign design (contiguous vs. quest-based). It'll be interesting if more of that is revealed.

What is your point ? You can still enjoy one game and not play the other ? I am sure it works both way. Still trying to figure out, though, what you are trying to say...

I myself prefer TB and value good gameplay, but this false dichotomy of storyfags and combatfags is shit. While some of us can tolerate bad gameplay when there is a good story to be experienced (or vice versa), a true RPG connoisseur should demand both good combat and good story from their games.

Huh... It looks like turn-based, but with the AP and BA bars I suspect you will be slowly depleting the first and then the second in order to perform actions. I won't be surprised if actions will use "seconds" as time units, meaning a single turn could consist of more than a single action AND it could potentially be played simultaneously (with each character having their own separate bars). Then again, the lower left corner of the screen seems to indicate a turn order of some sort (unless it just shows the currently selected character?).

In short - it could be even crazier than it seems at first glance.
