Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 Pre-Release Thread [EARLY ACCESS RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Hellion]

Swen is a comedy mastermind.

Even D:OS-like combat is better than any RTwP-adapted D&D abomination.

From what i see in live footage its not DOS combat its real D&D combat with all its perks, truly by the book. Was expecting a betrayal but now its most incline thing since 20 years….

Almost by the book. For example the Special Attack like Pin Down for each weapon type is something that was trialed in some of the 5E playtest versions, but didn't make it to the PHB. Seems like they're bringing back a few more complex parts of the playtest material that's better suited to a CRPG.

All of the spacing in terms of seconds does seem to indicate that RTWP is not out of the picture, or am I missing something?

 

[sullynathan]

Verticality in this type of game is huge incline

 

[rusty_shackleford]

This looks fantastic.
HATERS BE GONE

 

[Shadenuat]

well 6 stats are in, skills are in, and saving throws are in instead of retarded blueshield. mechanically seems d&d, but do all abilities and spells restore after every combat?

 

[Seari]

I would be okay with this game if it didn't use the Baldur's Gate name.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Dragon Age camp, wew.

 

[Delterius]

'might as well ADAPT TO THE DAYWALKERS WAYS' :D

 

[fantadomat]

This game have absolutely nothing to do with BG.

 

[Tyranicon]

All of you are missing the most important detail from the combat reveal.

You can attack with mage hand.

Faithful my ass.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

That chick does look like the DA:I elf

 

[Xunwael]

Gay representation!

 

[Theodora]

is dipping actually in D&D?

It's a pen and paper RPG, you can do anything if your DM isn't boring. Larian's goofy "set everything on fire" approach to environmental effects fits my actual D&D experiences more than anything else really.

why do people always get mad when youre the one to set things on fire it results in objectively better outcomes

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Sven playing a literal faggot, so at least it's immersive.

If the GM allows it.

sure, i meant if it's rulified or something

 

[Lacrymas]

If the maps aren't too linear, this has quite a lot of potential. The writing is going to be cringe, no doubt about it, but everything else looks fine. This being an AAA game is surreal.

 

[Grotesque]

that writing..... introspection..... exposition....that voiceacting.

 

[Siveon]

Faithful my ass.

He did also point out that the Mage Hand died which wasn't supposed to happen.

However there's nothing in the 5e rulebook that says you can't throw things with Mage Hand

 

[Goromorg]

Me axe be bloody ready t' spill some Larian blood!

He clearly said it wasn't intended. Its only supposed to push and pull.

 

[TwoEdge]

Way over the top, this might end up being good, but Baldur's Gate this is not.
