The insistence on making games 3D in the early 3D era was such a fucking mistake.
IWD still looks amazing, NWN still looks like trash.

early 3d is like mid 90s. By 00s 3D was already decent, it's just NWN looked like ass because of tiles.
Van Buren demo looks quite pretty imo.

I wonder how much less butthurt there would be if it was simply called "Baldur's Gate: subtitle" rather than BG3.
It's should've been called just "Baldur's Gate". In fashion of modern Hollywood sequels for maximum butthurt

RT and TWRP fanboys will take any opportunity to throw shit at each other, so it wouldn't make a difference.

NWN production started in 97 iirc, and it shows.
I remember game "journalists" saying NWN looked great in reviews, fucking shills

idk
i remember thinking that oblivion looked astonishing in 2007.
Now i think it looks like ass thanks to shitty bloom, glossy plastic textures, ugly NPCs and speedtrees, while other games from that time and earlier aged better.
Maybe it's the same

Blade runner was 3D and came in 97 as well, but still looks good
It's up to dev's skills if 3D works and ages well.

To those of you thinking, in hope or in despair, that Minsc will not appear in this title - how much are you willing to bet that Larian Studios has enough willpower not to include a well-known, goofy character within their game?

The official list of races and classes for early access:
6 classes (subclasses)
- Fighter - Battle Master, Eldritch Knight
- Wizard - Evocation, Abjuration
- Rogue - Arcane Trickster, Thief
- Ranger - Hunter, Beast Master
- Cleric - Life, Light, Trickery
- Warlock - Fiend, Great One
Missing for now 6 classes
15 Races (subraces)
- Bard - Sorry but a DND game without them shouldn't exist, must be included!
- Sorcerer - easy to implement just but jut edgier wizards could be cut IMO
- Barbarian - easy to implement and should be in
- Druid - lots of work with their transformations probably, extremely unpopular due to limited role-playing won't be included
- Monk - since Pink Eye doesn't care about BG3 they might not make it
- Paladin -edgier cleric
Missing for now:
- Human
- Half-Elf
- Elf (High, Wood)
- Drow - why aren't they an elven subrace?
- half-Drow -WFT?
- Dwarf (Mountain, Hill)
- Halfling (stout, Lightfoot)
- Githyanki - makes sense for the theme
- Tiefling (Asmodeus)
Can't decide whether that's a lot for an AAA game or severely lacking for a DND game.
- Dragonborn - Will most certainly be included but they need their own animations
- Half-Orc - Semi popular might not make i
- Gnome - Given their unpopularity, I think they'll be cut
- Yuan-ti Purblood - I just like them a lot.
Where did you get the list of subclasses? That better not be the complete list, I hope for gloomstalker ranger and assassin rogue.
I thought it was confirmed by the way that all 12 classes would be in?
Periodically I find myself looking for information on The Black Hound just to get my monthly dose of suffering, but I never knew this. Fuck me, fucking MARALIE FIDDLEBENDER as a companion, I can't live with this. I would honestly play the game 24/7 just to listen to her and cuddle her to death.
Sorcerers are not edgier wizards in 5e. They are the only ones who have access to metamagic.Missing for now 6 classes

Druids are essential. A D&D game without druids would be a fucking disgrace.
Monks are disgusting and should be deleted from every game in existence.
Paladins have nothing to do with clerics in this edition. They are fighters with different features.

You cunts deserve all your D&D games in the future to have just the Fighting Man, the Cleric and the Magic User.
Gay half-drow vampire spawn for maximum flakiness.
Cleric is too complicated.
All future games should have Fighting Man, Stealing Man, Magic Man. Those are all the classes you need.
I would play another KotC

Completely missing the point that those were the only 3 classes in the first incarnation of D&D.
