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

[Infinitron]

Well Sarevok could still be alive? Unless they put more faggotry in I just saw what they did in the Comics to Coran lol.

I remember reading somewhere - in this very thread in fact - about how Sarevok ended up good after the events of ToB, but then found it a hollow existence, became a homeless alcoholic or junkie or both and then Bhaal found him in the streets and gave him new purpose.

That's from Minsc and Boo's Journal of Villainy, which apparently isn't canon (although based on some things in EA I think they're going to use some of the content from it, specifically Edwin's section, so they may lift Sarevok's story too).

Here is the Sarevok section:

Wait a minute, Melissan wasn't a Bhaalspawn. :facepalm:

RENT FREE

However I didn't find the minmax video that salty. It was more like him lolwutting at a journalist who wrote some dumb shit

May well be so, depends on context, but in the proper context he sounds hilarious.

Notice the "when I'm the designer you are my enemy" (wink-wink, I'm not saying I'm serious, but I'm not saying I'm joking).
But when he is the player, what does that make Swen to him?

hey're definitely reading the Codex. XD

Everybody reads the Codex.

Josh Sawyer has been in game development for what, 20~ years? and he still doesn't understand why his games fail to become more popular?

Maybe make better games & stop trying to limit how people play your games and you wouldn't have to seethe on twitter like the irrelevant never-was you are.

Spoiler

^ This nigga has me on ignore because he was too butthurt about my opinion on BG3, and he whines about "snowflakey people who stay in their little bubbles". Larian fans are truly built different

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Something about the gloss they put on the skin makes all the male characters look very gay. Gonna have to use the age slider on a lot of them, I think.

This was a non-canon book, written by a former BG dev who based it off his gay D&D sessions, where he made Imoen a vampire and Cernd a faggot.

Weird that it was published though.

It was the same in DOS2, also all humans/elves have uncannily long faces, they all look like this dude, shit feels weird:

Same here lol. He must be a furry.

New Vegas will forever be an infinitely better RPG than this faggot shit BG3. It was better than Original Sin 1 and Original Sin 2 and it will still be better than this shit game that can't even implement day / night cycles.

Literally a single player MMO at this point with NPC's standing around doing fuck all until you show up. A static gameworld in a single player 2023 RPG is a fucking joke. And you've got to be kidding me with those dialogue cutscenes, they are so fucking shit it's like you're playing dragon age 2 again.

But you faggots praise BG3 because there's nothing else for you play. And by shitting on Sawyer, who had a hand in creating New Vegas, is just the ultimate butthurt from the Larian fags.

People remember New Vegas for being a diamond in the rough. It is a beloved title because it came about during an era where we got shit like Dragon Age 2, which is exactly the kind of RPG Larian is bringing back with BG3. What will BG3 be remembered for? Catering to Bioware faggots? This game is regressive, cancerous SHIT!

This guy just endorsed Oblivion with its Radiant AI as the height of gaming. Now that's a dynamic game world.

Even Oblivion is more dynamic and reactive than BG3.

What kind of reactivity do you get in BG3? Stacking boxes and shooting flammable oil puddles with a fire spell? Fucking retarded game.

It was better than Original Sin 1 and Original Sin 2

Of course it was. D:OS2 has some of the shittiest, most tedious combat I've seen in RPGs, and was written by reddit (or so it felt). Utter trash. No idea why people think BG3 will be any different.

The difference between D:OS2 and BG3 is that with BG3, Larian has been given a few extra hundred thousand dollars to blow on marketing material and paying journalists under the table to shill their game. Larian faggots are just like every other consumer, they cannot think or learn anything and have to be told what's good, and are too afraid to go against the grain. They are a waste of oxygen, the whole lot of them.

I mean, I'm a Larian hater and think their games are decline, but still, just the fact that they have turn based, stat based combat, rather than being first person shooters, already makes them better RPGs than nuFallouts.

New Vegas is still better because it had a believable world and characters within. I can't with these goblins fucking each other in the ass and shit. Attach the best turn based, stat based combat you want, it doesn't make it worth playing when I have to listen to those insufferable, pretentious voice actors.

Sponge-based combat, more like. It doesn't matter whether your combat is turn based or not if rather than being fun, it slowly kills you through a metric ton of tedium and boredom.

 

[Zed]

I have nothing better to do next weekend so I'll give this a go after hearing they cut down on the environmental combat bull-hockey, and that the game will actually feature the city of Baldur's Gate.
Steam always has the refund crap in place in case it's a disaster.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

The core of any CRPG is dungeon crawling, party building and monster killing not reactivity.

Warlord: This is good, but what is best in RPGs?
Warrior: Collaborative story-telling, choice & consequences, cinematic narrative, and companion romances.
Warlord: Wrong! Conan, what is best in RPGs?
Conan: To crush your enemies, explore their dungeons, and to see the glitter of their treasure.
Warlord: That is good. [crowd cheers]

Yeah, but nuFallout combat is even more boring. Overall both suck.

I dont care about muh writing, romances, reactivity, night&day cycles etc. I just want good combat and party management, some dungeons to crawl, monsters to kill and magic items to find. Am I asking for too much?

The game has these things as is.

That seems like a lot of shit to wade through to get to the good parts. Did you exhaust all blobbers?
