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

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.

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

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

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.
