Imagine the guys today at Owlcat like "yeah, this is a fucking good day for us today" and then... BOOM... BG3.

Owlcat also released their game during the same day as a PoE2 DLC and their first DLC close to another one of PoE2's DLCs. Funny stuff.

Oh btw this game has "branded hashtag" (custom emoji thing) on Twitter:

IIRC that thing costs 1 million USD. I wonder who paid that. Google? Larian?


Yeah, probably Google as a sign of good will

Oh, I can't wait to get it, Swen:
This leads to a bigger question about general accessibility – if you come to the original games now, it’s very easy to bounce of the idiosyncrasies of simulated D&D systems. Vincke reassures us that “5th edition [D&D rules] is very different to 2nd Edition already, so it is much more accessible — this is also why it’s enjoying an increased popularity. So the videogame will be similar. We’re not going to compromise on depth, but the way it’s going to be brought to you, when you see it you’ll think ‘I get this, everyone can get this’.”

Do we know anything except for the title yet?

If we're gonna have illithids in Baldur's Gate, then the game will consist mostly of sewers. Despair.

Don't worry, the guy who invented D:OS2's broken initiative and called it a feature, and said he was proud of his armor-as-extra-health-pool system, promises he will not compromise on depth.

The GOG entry indicates it's either real time or RTwP. Link.

Baldur's gate 1/2 are also listed as "real-time".

I don't understand why people are remotely hopeful for this.

I assume Obsidian will not just sit there passively but try to make poeIII even better than bgIII.
poeIII vs bgIII
The fight has started.

That's like bringing a knife to a penis measuring contest.

You know you've already lost and are just bitter about it.

Oh I like RTWP in the IE games, don't get me wrong. That's just a fun piss in the Larian fans' cheerios.

It's the whole "Developed by Larian" part that I believe makes it a looming disaster. For example, see AwesomeButton 's posts above.

Here is how it will look.
Larian never wanted to make good games. They just were looking for bunch of idiots to fuck out of money selling them lies. After they were cash strapped after failure to get that AAA cashcow crowd they went and they sold you dreams. Like whore who presented itself for cheap to 30 year old incel. They recovered and now they are looking again for that AAA lowest denominator crowd. The moment cash will really start flowing they will drop everything you liked about them and will fully transform themselves into Bioware you know now.




You can't teach old dog new tricks.

Them squids agoraphobic?

Well, they're gonna make devious plot hiding with the sewers, have a few politicians in they pocket, infiltrate the chantry, etc.

I don't want it from Larian. This kind of stories for some reason always turns out stupid.
