You should pirate everything anyway - games are an art, and the best art is always created by poor and hungry artists, fueled only by passion and autism.

The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European but an Asiatic and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinaman or a Japanese and, from what I’ve seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them.Wtf, I thought this was from a year ago, where they did slimy Eula change that ended up killing one of the best mods for the game before they backtracked it.https://www.pcgamer.com/fan-outcry-...of-the-outburst-surpassed-worst-expectations/
My weak competition destroys itself. When reviews of BG3 come out it will only get worse for Owlcuck studios.
You're next Todd...
But they did it again apparently?
Owlcat is retarded. Looks like their warhammer is getting pirated.
Tell that to Mutti Merkel, Butin's BFF for over a decade.
They've added an extra "N" to Onlyfags.

This has probably been discussed several times in the thread already, but since I'm playing through DOS2 at the moment, it strikes me that it must have been quite a downgrade for the Larian team to have to shift from the fair degree of virtual world simulation in DOS and DOS2, to the D&D vibe, which to be sure is modestly simulationist in terms of character builds, but hardly at all in terms of world responsiveness (since that was supposed to be taken care of by GMs).
I mean, aren't the build/virtual world systems Larian came up with on their own in DOS/DOS2 just much more juicy and complex and interesting than anything in D&D, especially the highly streamlined 5e? What a downgrade for them it must have been - and what a temptation it must have been to stick in the things they're familiar with (i.e. barrels, in a trope).

A perfect example of why the art and atmosphere is all fucked up. This... Uh... Girl...? Has a filthy face in the style of a chimney sweep but also perfectly immaculate salon hair and a freshly dry cleaned renaissance fair shirt. The way everything clashes tonally is nauseating to behold.

Most working people will really start only playing on the weekend
Serious? Where did they say this? Won't be much of a problem in my case but yeah it's stupid.

What you don't like the level 1 archmages and level 1 archdruids?I'm going to slay Jaheira like the mutt half-breed she is. I'm talking murder in the Realms.
She may have miraculously survived the Nashkel Mines, the Bandit Camp, the Cloakwood, the Iron Throne, the Candlekeep Catacombs, Durlag's Tower, the Isle of Balduran, the Confrontation with Sarevok, Irenicus' Base, the dangers of Athkatla and the surrounding areas to include vampires, dragons, liches, and beholders, Spellhold, the Underdark with the dangers of the Drow of Ust'Natha, Illithids, Ulitharids, an Elder Brain, Elder Orbs, Hive Mothers, and a Silver Dragon, the Cleansing of Bodhi's Lair, a reckoning and goodbye to her Harper friends, the Final Confrontation with Irenicus in Suldenessallar and in Hell, the Watcher's Keep with its Helmite cultists, seasoned adventurers sealed by ancient magics, elemental monstrosities, devils and demons in wild magical rooms, vampire Illithids, demilich, a Githyanki war party, and Demogorgon the Prince of Demons, and the Struggle with the Five most powerful Bhaalspawn, culminating in an epic clash for the metaphysical control of the Throne of Bhaal before starting a fulfilling life rearing her multiple children.
But she's going to die to a character who was level 1 a couple weeks or so before killing her.
That look of defiance and will to power will not survive a man with a tadpole in his brain.

Maybe since it's such a hugely popular game they don't want it datamined before release, + maybe final build isn't up anyway. Swen did say they were working closely with Steam (for support purposes) for the release so i doubt preload was not discussed, especially with such a huge game. Won't be an issue for people with good connections, for me it'll be ~3 hours if the speed is constant.

So far there's been no official statement about whether or not there will be a preload, but apparently it will get addressed in the final community update next week:
fear of datamining

Imagine not having fiber with at least 500Mbps, where the fuck do you all live, Africa? I'm in a middle of nowhere 100 people village in Potatoland, and even I have fucking fiber and will download this shit in max 20 minutes.
The US has third world internet in many places. I pity the fools. In glorious europe, you have to be true peasant not to have fiber

Basically you're like the NFT boomers who wanted to convince everyone that they would revolutionize videogames, but couldn't tell what exactly they meant, because deep down all they had was a vague promise of something amazing. You might want to go check Star Citizen. It has strategy, simulation, everything. Nobody knows how it's going to work, though.

That's literally Larianfags tho, they're the ones screeching for 1000 pages how BG3 will revolutionize the genre, but when pressed for details they shut up and just rate your posts as retarded
