Are You Going To Play Baldur's Gate 3?

[Drowed]

I will play it, just to be able to say how much it sucks. So I will probably end up playing it again, to confirm that it really sucks. Eventually, after accumulating much more time than would be justifiable, I will say that the game really sucks, and made me waste all my time. And in about 15 years, I will be complaining about how BG3 was the beginning of the (nu) decline and one of those games that are no longer made, and how the current generation only likes shitty things, as usual.

Will you fuck a bear while traumatizing squirrels?

 

[Erebus]

I won't touch that thing with a 10-foot pole. Instead, I intend to replay BG2 for the 30th time.

 

[e-mailio estevez]

No. Game appears to have more dick options than it does face options.

 

[ArchAngel]

My answer would be Maybe at some future time.

[hellbent]

Will play it with mods from the beginning. Learned my lesson when I quickly realized that D:OS 2 was unplayable for me without them.

 

[Raghar]

Czech assholes. How they dare to feed otter so poorly?

 

[Vic]

I see no reason to.

 

[gurugeorge]

Of course I'm going to bloody play it, it's Baldur's Gate ffs, plus it's Larian, some of whose games I've honestly enjoyed.

I don't know whether the bear buttsecs, penis 2 and all the rest of the bs will be so pervasive and in-my-face as to put me off, but so long as it's optional I don't see why its presence should outweigh the things that Larian do well. Also, you only have 4 characters at a time anyway, so if some of the characters are unbearable I can leave them in camp.

I'm confident that Larian will have done a good job with responsiveness and C&C, plus I'm used to 5e from Solasta, so yeah.

I'm enough of an addict of these stupid things to be able to hold my nose if I need to - it's not like there's any other option these days, other than just ditching the hobby altogether.

Maybe, eventually, but it's behind a bunch of other stuff in my pile of shame. I figure the longer I wait the more patched-up it will be. There's no rush.

 

[Rahdulan]

I'll get around to it eventually. Time, what is time.

 

[xuerebx]

Eventually yeah, it's turn based so that grabbed my attention. But definitely not at the price it is today, I've got enough games to last me until the price goes down considerably.

 

[Latro]

Serious non shit post response: no. because larian games are flawed and terribly written. Once the hype dies down it’ll just be divinity sin 3 and the usual 6.5/10 larian experience.

But it will assuredly bring the pink dildo apocalypse to crpgs…fear the future…

 

[SimTrY]

Yes, AAA RPGs that actually have pretty high quality are pretty rare.

high quality gay bear sex

 

[Tavar]

No, as it is just a "Divinity: Original Sin" reskin and I don't like these games.

 

[Vyvian]

Yes.
I am playing it actually after dabbling a bit with Early Access. It's pretty good so far.
I haven't ran into any nasty bugs yet, a few audio/visual bugs but nothing major. Apparently there's an issue with cloud saves so I avoided that for now.

 

[Catacombs]

using 5e rules

 

[POOPERSCOOPER]

I will, I do like Larian's openness of how to solve quests and do shit out of order and really try messing with the system. Hopefully the writing, story and other stuff is better than Original Sin 2. I kind of don't like how popular BG3 is though and my internal instinct is to call everyone fags.

 

[AdamReith]

Would I eat poop if they started labelling
it as chocolate?

Nah.

 

[Lily "Miss July" Ferrari]

Not even when Fitgirl posts her repack this week.

 

[Falksi]

Yep, but like most not for a few years when it's all been ironed out.

It really is a marmite game for me from the promo. One minute I really like the look of it, the next I don't want to touch it.

But I want to see more D&D turn based stuff so it'll get my coin and, whilst I though D:OS was ropey, I fucking loved Divinity 2: TDKS. So Larian are OK in my book so far.

I'm kind of in the proper frame of mind to play this, having played the NWN modules Bone Kenning I and Swordflight 1 & 2 a couple of months ago (before that, I hadn't played a fantasy RPG since Pathfinder Kingmaker several years ago). So I should strike while the iron is hot. I think mind-flayers in the skull make a great premise for a D&D antagonist; lots of opportunity there to slide into either a good path (if you choose to fight it) or go hog-wild being a completely evil shit. I only played and completed one other Larian Studios cRPG, and that was Divinity: Original Sin. It seemed like quite a competent and, at times, challenging RPG. Also have fond memories of playing about half of Divine Divinity. I can't remember why I quit that game since it was so long ago.

Nah. Wait until the patched versions are available on a privateer's vessel.
