I wouldn't even pirate this shit, it looks like game made for gender fluid zoomers.

My eyes hurt just watching a stream.

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.
I figure if it hasn't been patched to a working, stable state by now after 5 years (?) in EA, it never will be. Besides, I want to play it before all the inevitable DLC and expansions come out that turn a reasonable 30-60 hour game (?) into the reeking and hideous 100+ hour gas of cRPG corpse-bloat like what happened when I played Kingmaker.

It's already 150+ hours of cutscenes alone.

You better be using hyperbole or I'm going to be very cross with this game.

Wow, I thought you were joking. I may have to attempt playing this in very small increments then without the focused goal of completing it, like an MMO. But given the different paths taken in this game, I'm thinking no one on a single playthrough would actually see 150 hours of cut scenes. Probably a small fraction of that.

Btw, for all you whinetards constantly complaining about too much sexual diversity in this game, why not just play an evil character and kill 'em? Kill 'em all! If Larian Studios did their job properly, you should be able to do that.

Nope. Larian have been on a nosedive starting with Original Sin 1 EE, DOS2 I quite honestly loathed, and everything about this looks like DOS3. Seeing benis selection in chargen only reinforced me in completely ignoring this game's existence.

File size too big, too recent, and too expensive. I haven't played a game close to its launch since I had an Xbox 11 years ago.

I'm not gonna use 10% of my storage and pay $80 for a game.

I'm sure I'll get to it in 10-15 years or so, eventually.

Don't understand what draws people to play BG3 to begin with really. Nothing about it looks especially appealing to me, the writing looks like it ranges from bad to bland at best, the characters look dull and uninspiring, and the game's premise and plot looks like they lack any original ideas and are some utterly trite rubbish especially for a campaign starting at level 1. Graphics look like shite too, making the game hard to look at on top of everything else (compared to BG1&2 that look beautiful), plus the game has full voice acting which is an obvious huge drawback and paired with Bioware-style cutscene dialogue on top of it. I really don't see the appeal, maybe there's some fun to be had if you can overlook all the flaws, but I'd have to force myself to play it with how uninteresting it looks. Somehow that's an outlier view and it's managed to draw most people in.

BG3 looks like it's made by and for the lowest common denominator, sign of the times when such crap appeals to the majority even on what's supposed to be the "prestigious" RPG forum I guess. I can only assume part of the issue is gamers having narrow tastes and only playing video games, I rather play a tabletop RPG, read a good book, or do just about anything else.

Downloading 100+ gb of Larians bloatware of bestiality and cuck porn is not something i want to do right now.

Seems like modern fantasy rpgs are just collections of fetishes and woke garbage for degenerate rainbow fanbase. I learned it after Pathfinder dilogy.

Even if i play it sometime later this year, first i want to go through originals again.

I picked yes because I planned to play it relatively soon but I'm not so sure anymore.
Why not? Even if you disregard the story, combat is fun and there's no shortage of build options. You can build whatever you want, really.
That part is fine. The problem is I feel compelled to kill almost all the companions but then I lose a major part of the game. I'll probably do a dark urge playthrough at some point and in the meantime there are much better games to play like rdr 2, etc

I'm saying she looks like a man.

You mean BG 1 and 2? Or Original Sin 1 and 2?
