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

Will weapon maneuvers even make sense when you can just boink stuff 9 times per round as a hasted fighter?

Haste is supposed to be fixed at launch. That's still a hefty 8 attacks though!

Nice, got any source?

 

[Jermu]

I would be curious about that too, no1 mentioned about that in here:

Of course, Good Drow is a stupid idea

So is non-Human paladins.

Fuck you all, I'm playing albino drow tav who acts as the smuggiest snowflake in all of faerun and saves the world from the tadpole menace.

He is also a goody two shoes paladin who fights prejudice and hate with his every action.

 

[Decado]

Does this game have the same terrible inventory system of the last Divinity game? Or have Larian gotten their act together on that?

It's very good now mister San Diego

Okay. Is it filled with exploding barrels?

Fun fact - my first charater was girl Seldarine drow named "Mary Sue".

Are Mortismal's class description videos worth watching? Does he have fulle release info, or is he just going off EA, and hearsay?

no

@ERYFKRAD was right all along then

Was there ever any doubt?

There was never any doubt and I have personally krumped all the gits who falsely claim otherwise.

I'm probably going to try goolock first because I'm curious to see how they implement a great old one patron, especially since they suggested there would be some sort of patron interactions, although I suspect that fiendlock will end up better fleshed out in that regard

I'm not confident they will add much in the way of patron interactions. They have made it clear you will be able to invoke your patron for help during some checks and such, but I doubt there will be much more than that.

I would bet serious money for instance you won't be able to pick a specific patron or physically interact with it in any way(i.e: the patron won't actually show up in the game or change anything of importance). They have a lot of resources but not that much. It will be just a voice in your head on some specifc interactions you can ask for help and that is it. Won't even have a name or specific identity beyond "archfey" or "fiend". The exception is the Wyll origin off course.

Plus it will be very schizo having another noncorporeal entity interacting with your mind besides the tadpole. Convoluted even.

I have to dig up the interview, but I am confident someone confirmed that there would be ample patron interactions; probably not to Wyll's extent thought.

To processdaemon post, Goolock could be good/neat if there was a reliable way to crit. Mortal reminder is an AOE, 2-turn frighten now I think, which is yet another advantage for the next ability/hit roll. It wouldn't surprise me if someone finds a cheesy ranged-build, like that one warlock EA build dedicated to use of Fly and hand crossbows.

Not going to happen bro. You can't possibly expect anything remotely as developed as the interactions with tadpole or the dark urge "butler".

It will be some(or perhaps many) dialogue options and that is it. I mean some races already have hundreds of unique dialogue interactions...not unlikely for wlock, but that is mostly flavor. But you won't have any deeper plot interaction with your patron as say Wyll origin.

True, I just know of at least 2 on the EA: opening the book of dead gods and replacing the absolute with your patron (for the tadpole? I forget the full context). For the latter point, I feel like it could lead to someone more substantial.

No. Mortismal is a solid guy, but those videos are for complete newbies who have never touched an RPG before. He is just going off EA.

this guy makes some pretty good videos

Mortismal is not the right person for any gameplay/meta knowledge (in any game)

Reminder that wymmin are incapable of being funny.

 

[Grunker]

lol. did not expect that to be legitimately funny

 

[Barbarian]

She has a sexy voice though.

Voiced Nyrissa in bugfinder.

 

[AwesomeButton]

"Pornography is for closers" was the only good one. Takes a woman of taste to have watched "Glengarry Glen Ross".

 

[Incendax]

Nyrissa, Wenduag, Malady, and dresses up as a tiefling in a 5e D&D stream.

She's basically discount Claudia Black.

There was this shitty web game murder mystery a month or so ago that Larian did. Kind of an introduction story for "Dark Urge". Someone wrote a summary of it in the forgotten realms wiki:

https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_in_Baldur's_Gate

Spoiler

Not much beyond what is already known anyway, he was a sadistic serial killer active in baldur's gate prior to the events of the game, and is canonically established to be a dragonborn sorcerer for some reason. Tophat goblin acts as a henchman of sorts.

LoL a lot of page moving for this garbo. Anything funny worth reading trough ? The game seems like a satanic porn fantasy of the faggot swampgermans.

How much did you pay that 3080? Just curious. I'm not going to get it myself, I plan on building a new PC later this year, with most likely getting a 4090 to replace my 1080.
