    Keep repeating that to yourself every night before you go to sleep. Eventually, you may believe the lie. :smug:

    I remember reading a horrible blog. Was it yours? I'm not sure. Who can tell between one nameless hack and another? Can't remember you now, won't remember you tomorrow. No body will remember me for now but as soon as I release my blog I will rise above all of you.

    Okay. Prove I wrote a blog. I'm honestly interested to see who writes like me. By all means...

    It was probably sorinmask 's or Sykar 's Baldur's Gate blogs. Those two are barely literate, and both of them pulled the plugs before Google indexing (yeah, that's how "long" they lasted).

    Only two Baldur's Gate blogs of note remain: Beamdog's and mine.

    Wrong person dip shit. When are people on this site going to learn that accusing everyone of using an alt isn't funny and definitely isn't clever. Our writing styles are so different but I wouldn't expect you people to notice or even know what writing style means. I'm assuming you didn't read literally any of the thread or else you would realise that there isn't a single person here who hasn't used that angle. Fantadomat just goes against the grain for
    attention anyways. I do it because I truly have potential to make a change and have the passion to attempt it. Eat ass idiot.

    Oh, my... It's almost like I made a joke that fanta took too seriously, so I pushed it a bit further than I originally intended by looping it back to where it originated from. How terrible of me! But do not worry - it's not supposed to win the Fields Medal.

    Then you'd wrong, o Bitch Queen of Bitching. Maybe if you weren't wailing so much about how everybody in this thread is conspiring with Larian you wouldn't be made this much fun of.

    Final battles in Baldur's Gate and ToEE were fine despite the games never going past level 10 as well.

    If you want to affect change, think of it this way:

    This thread has 1,000,000 views. Wow, right? But most of it's just F5'ing by a trashmob.

    It's just the same dozen 'tards reading your shit. And some curious onlookers.

    This is where blogging comes in. But the problem is, how can you make a blog that gets indexed by Google, and attains a high ranking?

    How can you make it so that, every time you post, Google likes it?

    I wish. Larian won't be able to resist the urge to make it "epic" though.

    Let's not forget that just a couple of months ago we were preoccupied this was going to be a Baldur's Gate: Inquisition game. Maybe Larian can still positively surprise us.

    We speculated that it being TB would be a very unlikely miracle, but still possible. Larian not going epic with these writers is impossible ;d

    Imagine unironically thinking that would be a bad thing.

    "Oh no, they found a way to use a terrifying monster as an endgame boss instead of just throwing it against the player as cannon fodder. I want to fight gods and only gods!"

    Imagine unironically holding the opinions he spews on a daily basis. That's far scarier.

    I hope the finale isn't about picking one of three colors or having a nice talk with a large statue ...

    If they get rid of their environmental gimmick (or seriously tone it down), get back to a classic D&D itemization and get rid of the cool-downs, it works for me ...

    Is not knowing what words mean your writing style?
    Work on this before you start the blog.

    Wrong. The biggest concern is that Larian will NERF most enemies to make then fightable vs low level parties.

    Intellect Devourers are CR 7 on 5e. https://www.5esrd.com/gamemastering...s-by-type/aberrations/intellect-devourer-3pp/

    And a bunch of lv 1 poorly equipped guys defeating a bunch of then on the beginning of the demo.

    No, and you only fight DEMI gods on epic levels. Mephistopheles is the final boss of hotu. You face him at epic levels. Baldur's Gate 2 Shadows of Amn had the lv cap varying for classes. For sorcerers is 17(EE and ToB raises it to epic levels), so no stop time, wish and etc. PFKM demi god(lantern king) is a optional enemy and without disabling xp share, you can end the game around lv 17. Similar to BG2.

    With lv cap = 11 you can have the warlocks mystic arcanum, artificer spell-storing item, fighter third extra attack, cantrips like fire bolt to 3d10, rangers and monks archetype feature and rogue´s reliable talent... And a single use of a tier 6 spell per rest. Descend to Arvenus is a lv 1 to 13 module, so i believe that lv cap = 13 is more appropriated.
