Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Takamori]

This thread will soon devolve into penis inspection day.

Most of it is of Shadowheart

THAT'S MY FUCKING WIFE YOU'RE DRAWING THERE.

 

[Lacrymas]

She looks good naked and with a cock in her ass, not gonna lie.

 

[Storyfag]

One thing the game has got going is waifu material. Not great Bioware levels but at least more than Outer Worlds. Im sure we'll see an uptick in Githyanki porn soon.

Already ahead of you there, buddy -

NSFW obviously

Most of it is of Shadowheart, though.

Are those Mind Flayer tentacles?

Didn't play the EA, is there some place like a tavern within Act 1 where it looks like they will be able add merc recruitment feature in the future? I would like to kill all the premade companions asap but don't want to play solo, especially since it seems that there is a lot of content in act 1 alone.

I feel the same way. The only thing I can think of is maybe they could put something in the Druid's Grove, but there isn't a tavern proper. It's mainly a wilderness setting for act 1.

Since Swen has confirmed that the EA intentionally contains the neutral and evil companions, I wonder if the final game will have different companions in the place of some of those it has now. If swapping them is possible I wonder if it may even be possible that they be randomized.

Actually I wouldn't mind having then as the main companions, change the dynamic of feeling easy with a Good aligned character. Love the "This motherfucker might stab me if I don't play my card right"

What continues to go unmentioned, including in this thread, is that, as far as we can judge from the EA content, we seem to be in for an RPG where roleplaying an evil character is viable and has its own story paths and rewards. This is nothing short of "revolutionary" considering previous BG games, IE games in general, and RPGs in general, especially big-budget, big-hype, AAA RPGs. Why isn't anyone celebrating? For me this is a much bigger event than having turn-based D&D.

They aren't celebrating cause to discover stuff like this you have to play the game . It's full of posers, like this guy pretending to replay BG1 to get kool kodex kredits, as usual it works.

I'm sad that you cannot trow objects at enemies. What I mean is - in Goblin camp there is Bugbear leader. And there is a chest up high at platform, I tried this and that but you just cannot pick up it and drop on head of the bugbear (who was siting at his throne). SAD

Or that when you're up there you can't drop one of the chandeliers or braziers hanging from those chains .

You can drop the braziers, there is the "wooden hinge" with 1 health that can be shot off. If you position like 3 flammable barrels right you can pretty much one-shot the other enemies on the throne room.

 

[Robber Baron]

I actually just finished BG1 story in my heavilly modded BWP run, took like what 6 years? I'm still on the fence if I should complete Drizzt Saga or jump straight into BG2.

That's our Larian!

 

[Lacrymas]

I thought everyone had 3 flammable barrels sitting around in the open.

There unfortunately no place to hire normal companions, at least for now. I had urge to kill everyone, except Gale (he wasn't bitching much about my decisions and I don't think he conspiring behind of my back with demons/mindflayers or some other shit), but alas hiring is impossible right now and I had to tolerate green bitch and vampire, since I doubt that my cleric of Moradin and wizard can handle majority of encounters in duo on 4 level.

 

[Fedora Master]

Fucked around the druid grove. Used the elevator. One party member doesnt get on in time. The other two immediately jump off once it stops at the top, killing themselves. Then the game crashed.

I've read that there's a trick to getting your own party members but I don't remember all the steps. Something about opening the game 4 times from the executable, creating the 4 characters you want, then having them join up in some multiplayer set up. I think that's the only way to get the party you want but I hope and expect that it's a bit easier than that in the final release.

I can confirm this works in DOS2, even with spliscreen coop(start a coop game then close and load it into singleplayer). since this is DOS3 on same engine then it should work too.

built such a bond that they'd rather die than leave one behind, yes

Most cuckdexers don’t actually like rpgs.

Can you ally with the Duergar instead of the Myconid?

Read an EA review. They said it was straight garbage. Looks like another Outerworlds-esque failure.

Watch some actual game footage and make up your own mind instead.

That's all until WHITE CIS MALE arives and solves everyones problem, gets rich in process and kill some minorities(that are majority).

Not just any WHITE CIS MALE. CLERIC WHITE CIS MALE!

Rumours that I just made up have it that for the inevitable Enhanced Definitive Director's GOTY Cut Larian will team up with Studio FOW, whatever that means.
