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

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Well, if he thinks that's abrasive we now have confirmation that Larian don't read the Codex. Extra props to the guy asking "if you hate the game so much, WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE!"... in an Early Aceess feedback thread.

For added comedy I'd stress that it's MY feedback thread.
"So yeah, that's what I was doing there. Thanks for asking, bootlicker".

The guy seems also to be extremely fond of dismissing any criticism as "a vocal minority vs the silent million of satisfied buyers" (an argument used so frequently that few of us even started mocking him/her about it in other threads) and showing off a confrontational tone while asking people "How many games did you work on?".
Which would be condescending in general, but it's twice as hilarious if you keep in mind that by his own admission he never worked on any game, either.

they do

 

[BarbequeMasta]

God, those posts just confirm my feeling that Larian Fags will be the death of everything good about CRPGs.

 

[NJClaw]

Oh no, they do. They sure do.

Never forget the time Lacrymas called their writing team the "7-man cuck squad":

[...]

Writing is something completely different than what vidya gaem writers treat it as (those that actually do want to be writers, like Larian's 7-man cuck squad) [...]

How do you feel knowing that even after all your shilling they still acknowledged Lacrymas more than you?

And what's more important, they probably despise both.

Right, sorry, I forgot about you.

Oh no, they do. They sure do. [...]

Huh... Thanks, going forward I'll assume they're fully aware that their controls are worse than NWN2's. For no practical reason whatsoever.

 

[Cryomancer]

Oh no, they do. They sure do.

LOL...

Anyway, there are larian employees who read the Codex? Probably.
There are larian employees who take advice from Codex users? Probably no.

If Swen reads RPG codex, he will probably think that we are a bunch of boomers disconnected from modern market demands and their target audience. There are a lot of Larian haters and lovers here. I was a Larian hater but now an more neutral. They did a ot of awful things like HP bloat, but a lot of amazing things, like helping some KS projects and RE popularizing turn based combat RPG's.

I guess you could say this is the reply that got me banned:

But according to him it's really more of a case of "I don't like your tone in general" rather than a single infraction.

Resetera tier of moderator. Weak reason to get banned.

 

[Fedora Master]

If they read the thread, all the better.
Hey Larian: I hope you get raped to death by refugees.

Lol, Tuco's post was rather innocent and the thread had proved useful, most posters agreed with the issue as presented. He gets a 14 day ban and didn't offend anyone in particular, then someone targets him specifically and mentions his "masturbatory compulsions" and gets a 3 day ban. Amazing. If Larian gets that moderator to balance the encounters, we may have a fun game after all.

 

[Delterius]

I an probably the biggest magefag on Codex

Only the loudest.

i feel insulted by both statements

I didn't read through the rest of the thread, but from what I saw Tuco was being normal and the people responding were being overly emotional or aggressive.

 

[Thonius]

Well, somehow I managed to get a two weeks ban from the Larian forum.
For being "too abrasive" or something, despise not really breaking any specific rule.

Larian's mods on their forum and on Steam have gotten really itchy trigger fingers.

You can get banned just for backtalking to BG3 fanatics after they have literally insulted you simply for posting legit criticism of the game.

Stadia guys pushing or applying pressure for faster release to save their unborn still born creature abomination, ergo no time for changes ergo shut up our product is good.

Eh, I doubt it. If Larian would read the Codex, then D:OS 2 wouldn't have a ridiculous shield system or a deterministic combat system.

Unless maybe they are just hate-readers.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Eh, I doubt it. If Larian would read the Codex, then D:OS 2 wouldn't have a ridiculous shield system or a deterministic combat system.

I mean, Swen even admitted openly that they were full aware of how disliked the armor system was but that they assumed people just didn't get what was supposed to be so good about it... Then they realized that they were wrong and people had legitimate grievances only months later.

Here, at 40:00 minutes: https://youtu.be/uKwi_5nePZg?t=2400

Except they are making the exact mistake now with the control scheme.

"Nah, it's good, you guys will come around eventually"
*Four months later*
"Boy, that surely sucked, uh? Too bad now it's actually too late to do anything about it!"

Too pathetic to have that kind of power.

I took a gander at your posts after you were ejected from the Owlcat forum and saw nothing bad, and I would agree it looked similar to the Tuco situation. I don't think whatever you posted that "earned" your ban was still there when I checked though.

 

[Desiderius]

New poster wrote a book about all the cool new ways he’d discovered to play that were obviously the only viable approach and turned out it was the same old same old Vivi MMO except with two healbots instead of one.

I welcomed him to the forum and told him I hoped he enjoyed being wrong and then improving as much as I did.

He was offended by the notion that I thought I knew more about his enjoyment than he did as if we weren’t both hiring Owlcat on that exact basis. He reported my original along with my reply that there was no reason to report me that he could just return the favor of telling me when I’m wrong as I often am.

All boils down to epistemology. Unapologetic realism is a bridge too far. As is ironically arguing for playing the game as designed, tho I made some converts there.

when is this gonna be playable (all chapters in)

I’ll buy it on sale. Looks good except for the ugly characters and those can be modded.
