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

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

This may be a rather naive question to ask, but shouldn't most of the bugs have been worked out by now? Hasn't this been in EA for like three years or something?

EA didn't give us access to the full game. Just Act 1.

It was just basically a paid demo. The most people could do was report a few bugs and give thoughts on the stuff we could see. I think it led to the game being dumbed down more than it did it being fixed.

Hindsight being what it is, especially with the tranny stuff, I don't think I would have bought it if I knew this in advance. But it was a weird time in the world and I was bored.

Chris Roberts should do an RPG next. Star RPG or something like that. It's never finished, but you can buy just about anything in the game from characters to plate mail to customized swords to entire castles and the like.

It alone would fund the RPG industry for years to come.

From a business perspective, especially with Steam, EA makes a lot of sense.

You get the preorder money, but without the risk of people refunding at the last minute.

You dipshits are the ones who're constantly hyping it up blahblahblah

Look, asshat, if you're not going to respond to my points, I'm not going to read your tldr. And I haven't used the word revolution except to respond to you.

Again, you can watch youtube vids for examples. Until you actually look at what the game has to offer, you're just sperging for the sake of sperging, since you have no idea what you're criticizing.

If you don't want to do that until release, fine, but you're wasting your time and everyone else's talking about it while you're still ignorant.

Don't know if it's still in the game but the "we'll always be watching" video is pretty old.

edit: I wish they incorporated it by having her walk backwards doing the "I'm keeping my eyes on you" gesture.

I probably responded to all your points, refuted them all, and obliterated you with facts and logic, but it was like 10 pages ago, I already made 20 more posts since then, so I dont even remember what we were talking about, and I dont care anymore. Be faster next time nigga

If this were Witcher 3, they probably would. That game had animations down a lot better, ironically, despite not using mocap for a lot of dialog.

You didn't. You're too retarded to read your own posts, let alone mine. Git gud.

 

[Rhobar121]

I don't think anyone expects that the game will not be bugged, the only question is how much.

So you did read my tldr after all

All games are rushed. But BG3 is first 100% finished on premiere.

This bug with dwarf woman is from 2 or 3 patch. The last patch was 9 and I didin't seen many bugs.

Lets use night and day and cycle discussion, if the game were a hardcore experience where you are actually rushing against time to deal with the tadpole. I'd say yes not implementing this system that would decrease the quality of this game because how you turn time a resource if your game don't track the days passed?
But I saw people arguing about fucking AI of night and day cycle, this game is not a immersive sim or a exploration game like TES, so it doesn't add nothing.

Well, maybe it should be.
Great RPGs should always strive to be almost in equal parts [player-driven] narrative experiences AND simulations of a fictional place.
And that's aside of what type of combat (or what amount of it) they would decide to include.
That's a big part of what made games like Ultima, Gothic, Fallout, Arcanum and countless others in genre absolute classics.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

That's pretty much the standard for narrative-heavy games. Can't do much that requires a lot of reactivity that could impact a large portion of the game (or the main plot), because that would require a lot of re-writing. Wasteland 2, for all its fault, shows how content-exclusive reactivity can work. This is why you either get "nothing really changes" or "changes only affect some part of side content".

The Fallout games adopted a hub-based approach, in which choices made in one hub almost never had consequences outside it, but this did allow for more extensive C&C outcomes within each distinct hub.

Great RPGs should strive to offer fun monster killing and dungeon crawling, everything else is just fluff

Correct and based, as long as by "customize in a cool way" you mean customizing the character build and not its penis size.

clearly should have specified such, i now realize my mistake

i did feel like it followed from "...so i can kill" as huegpenises seldom enable monster killing though i guess that would be a novelty

I have no clue of where the fuck did you even get the idea.
I said that RPGs are for a sizable portion narrative experiences. I never said "I'm in for the story".

i'm deeply sorry about your short term memory loss disease but fortunately i am nothing if not a helpful soul and thus shall recover your own words from the abyssal depths of... the current page

You're not wrong. That's why D:OS2 Act 2 and Act 3 were so polished, and why Owlcat's final acts are always so well crafted.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

i'm deeply sorry about your short term memory loss disease

As I'm equally sorry for your fucking terrible reading comprehension.

Once again, claiming that "narrative" is a sizable part and core aspect of a CRPG is fucking lightyears away from claiming its "story" is the most important thing.
And the misinterpretation is even less justifiable when I even specified in the following sentence that this is ASIDE from how predominant the combat may be in the overall balance of the game.

If I told you that wood plays a big role in furnishing a home, you shouldn't be authorized to interpret it as "We should have a whole bunch of fucking trees in the living room".

blackguards is a great fucking rpg and it simulates a fictional place just about as well as you're able to maintain goal post position

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

blackguards is a great fucking rpg

Yeah, we disagree from the very premise.
You're also delusional if you think Blackguards doesn't have a sizable narrative component, incidentally.

it does, and it's incredibly shit, which doesn't matter in the slightest

You gonna romance her?
