I turned grey in my mid 20s ...

My condolences on your transformation into an anime character.

 

[Takamori]

B12 vitamin deficiency + genetics can make you grey early. Chicks dig NATURAL grey hair with young face.

As we have a folk saying over here - the smart ones go bald, the whoremongers go white and the idiots remain as their mothers made them.

Spoiler

Then again, another folk saying states that smart hair leaves a stupid head.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Is there a reason for the young dude above having white hair, or is it just a case of anime character design?

Silvery-white hair is a typical hair color for a moon elf.

 

[Varnaan]

Vampires don't lose their hair color though.

I'm sorry I tend to avoid vampires

There might be more than 1 difficulty mode at release too btw.

I can already tell you there will be, there's casual classic and tactician mode in the files.

Couldn't that just be something they carried over from D:OS?

Your in-game save file (main menu, bottom right, shows most recent save played) also show difficulty mode as 'classic'.

Baldur's Gate 3 failure stuff was influenced by Disco Elysium

Found this - is it true? Or I'm fool to belive that even for a second?

 

[Poseidon00]

BG3 from a purely entertainment perspective is pretty meh. I bought this and Tyranny at roughly the same times. I have 12 hours into BG3 and 60 in Tyranny. Nothing about BG3 really draws you in, or makes you care about the setting.

Did DE create the notion that failing a roll doesn't necessarilly close a route ?

 

[Ontopoly]

I'm just curious how larian studios are going to figure out a way to somehow revive and reuse Braccus Rex in a game that takes place in the forgotten realms.

I don't think it crate a notion, but instead created prerequisites for a trend. So that was my question - is it really trending now?
Of course, Vince D Veller did it before with Age of Decadence, and probably someon else.

It was a rhethorical question, not to be rude but I think DE is pretty inconsequential at least when it comes to BG3 that just implemented "regular" D&D stuff.
If you've ever played D&D with a competent DM sometimes you fail (a) roll(s) but the DM keeps doors open/opens new doors based on your failures to keep the ball rolling with different circumstances and final results.

makes you care about the setting.

It's forgotten realms.

 

[Poseidon00]

It's forgotten realms.

A setting that truly isn't bad and can make for an interesting narrative backdrop if you put some effort into it. It has been done before, so I don't see why they should get a pass on their boring story.

Again, the EA so far is pretty much half of the first chapter.
We don't know shit about the story, you're comparing a game in basically pre-alpha that a Larian writer confirmed was going to be at least partially rewritten to Tyranny, a game that's almost in beta testing state.

They're the only ones that like Braccus Rex. I'm interested in how he'll be back in Original Sin 3

Depends on the canon ending.
They differ pretty wildly.

If Larian can't get you invested in the story within the first hour or so of the game that is on them. Shouldn't have to wait until Act 3 to care. The tryhard super epic dragon fight in the intro doesn't do them any favors.

 

[Fenix]

Lol, but the game afaik is revolving not aroung it setting, and most o those who bought it didn't care about setting either.
What they DO care about you can asknowledge if you find BG3 thread on any imageboard.
And with 99% precision I can tell you what it is - sex scenes, romances, mods about "girls" with dicks and etc debilitating degenerative bullshit.

The Witcher 1 is pretty much like this, sometimes is worth it to endure the shit of Act 1 and 2.

This was the case with Divinity as well.

Vampires are cool.

 

[PompiPompi]

Bald men, guys with early gray hair... they make up all kind of shit to excuse their recessive genes.

MOTB is forgotten realm setting, yet provide more interesting story than anything Larian has provided in their entire existence.
