Gonna cook something to eat pretty soon. I will be waiting for your top 10 list. I bet you can't make it to 5.

I read your list. It is like the sum of all critique from this thread. The problem is there were many counterarguments for what you were written. I put shortened list:

  1. Not true. Just compare Baldur's Gate with Wrath of the Righteous, real Zoomer game. Larian was always humorous, even silly, but in own, Belgian way.
  2. There is a lot of reactivity, that makes this game so alive. Just look on YouTube how many variants has simple situation like conversation with Priestess Gut.
  3. That's not true (except Wyll). Astarion is annoying, but is also a coherent and properly included in story character. Gale is boring, but I say same about him. Shadowheart is simply good written character with a lot of reactions and very particular personality.
  4. You can pass it.
  5. you can pass it.
  6. You can pass it.
  7. Not important.
  8. This game is not simulation, but artificial, timeless reality. Very gamy, if you prefer.
  9. Never was a problem, now or 20 years ago.
  10. I can say many words about BG3 fans, but Bioware still has the worst.
What is meaining of this hurted penisman?
A scene in GitS:SAC2 where the main villain reveals that his patsy terrorists all have one thing in common which he believes is necessary for a true believer in a cause like his: virginity.

I seen only first season. But yes, porners are very zealous virgins.

Damn, if ya'll talked as much about games as irrelevant bear sex, this might be an actual game discussion forum.

Niche game threads are where it’s at. The culture wars people and the degenerates (strange overlap there I've noticed) steer clear of those, for the most part. Or they actually engage in game conversation

Explaining Minsc and Jaheira is even worse consider near-demigod powers at the end of ToB. But I mean, who really gives a fuck.

guess all the people sperging out about companion respec

Didn't they say somewhere that you can't respec all companions? I'd imagine Jaheira and Minsc would be the exceptions.

No, you can. Unless I've missed something and I've been following the news kind of closely the past few days.

Your list is retarded. Point 1-3 is just "Writing bad, mkay". Point 4-6 is "Oh noez degeneracy". Point 7-8 is "I'm Drakortard and I want every game to be Oblivion" shit. Point 9 is just inane and 10 has nothing to do with the game.

So it's really just 3 Points.

The first is utterly subjective boilerplate shit you can write about every game. If you can't come up with substantive criticism, just claim that the writing sucks, that one always sticks. You don't really have to go into detail WHY it sucks, either. Just mention something something reddit and tumblr and twitter and declare victory. That's some real big brain shit right here.

The second is just your autistic OCD pearl clutching. We get it. You're an insecure little bitch who can't deal with the ghey elf. Get over it. You don't have to fuck the bear, so simmer down, retard.

The third is just fucking stupid. NPC schedules are scripts, not AI, you dumb fuck. Not every game needs them, they're completly worthless in a game like this. Dito with the fucking day-night-cycles. Who gives a shit in an turn-based isometric game? This isn't a fucking Bethesda walking simulator. In a game like BG3, crap like this is nice to have, at most. It's pretty far down on the priority list.

If this limp-wristed laundry list of non-issues all you can come up with then BG3 will be a fucking great game.

I consider this to be high-level C&C. Larian decided to go down this path and so sites like RPG Codex are going to examine and critique it.

In fact, I expect any and all reviews of this game, once we finally get around to them, to include in-depth analyses of all romantic possibilities within the game and their effects, if any, on the more traditional aspects of it.

Wait until they get buttfucked by angry graphicwhores when their next game doesn't have the graphic fidelity of The Last of Us 3/4 and they re-use 90% of the animations from BG3. Never should have pandered to the pixel hunting scum. I have some hopes for BG3 but I'm afraid their next product will crumble under the weight of the expectations of the people they are drawing in with this one.

Here is a list of 10 reasons why Baldur's Gate 3 is worth playing.

1. Writing
2. Choice and consequence
3. Companions
4. Romance
5. Homosexuality
6. Zoophilia
7. No Day / Night Cycle
8. Basic NPC AI
9. Silent Protaginist
10. The Players - you know I'm gonna play it no matter how many ratings I spam!
ftfy. this is a more concise version of what you probably really think, IMO.

And Kiste is right, you padded out the list by writing about the same things multiple times. Just made it tldr though.

Note that Larianiggers are writing essays why @Late Bloomer's list is wrong, but as he correctly predicted, not one of them can actually write his own list of 10 positive things about the game.
2 lines is an essay?

And I just did write a list. These are all the reasons the 3 or 4 main haters are obsessed with the game. And why all of you will play it, probably day one.

Ok, I start:



1.Turn-based is based.

2. Reactivity

3. Replayability.

4. Actually professionally written characters.

5. Lot of spells.

6. Girls are pretty.

7. Maps have many layers.

8. Good dub.

9. Best facial animations in gaming.

10. Manly men with homosexual tendencies are angry.

I've played EA so I already know I enjoy the game enough to play, but specifically I like the environments, most of the combat, some of the companions (same proportion as most RPGs), the setting, the writing during the goofy parts, the main story, the side quests, a good number of the non-companion NPCs, the reactivity and based on the trailers I'm interested in finding out more about the villains. I feel like all of the above is enough to justify a purchase.

See, you hide behind "haha I'm just being ironic", but degeneracy like romances and bear fucking, are indeed the main selling points for you. That's why you cant write a serious list, because once you remove the things you don't want to seriously admit you love about BG3, you're left with nothing.

You waste your days furiously reading through every single post here and spamming reactions to defend your incoming fap material, while still desperately trying to present yourself as some monocled RPG enjoyer, but you only end up looking permanently butthurt and frustrated. Just stop, accept yourself, admit you're a degenerate. Truth will set you free.

And 5E isn't 2E. A level 1 character is far more capable in combat.

Yep. In AD&D, a lv 1 of any class is marginally better than a lv 0 commoner. Sure, he can maybe cast one or two very weak spells and then be worthless for the rest of day, a fighter can have a little training of martial weapons and so on, but a lv 0 commoner with a bit of lucky CAN kill them with no problem. In 5e, even lv 1 nobodies fells like Heroes.

Being attracted by two women kissing each other is not gay.

Yes!!

Why you forgot about me? It was about my five-minute-to-make-but-vastly-superrior list?

Reddit is being a bit of a pain at the moment.

I'm trying to make my Reddit avatar in the image of my real life self, but the balding hairline option is locked behind a premium membership paywall of $6 USD per month.

I think I'll just hold off a few more days for BG3's character creator, then. I just find it more immersive when I can self-insert myself into the fantasy. I really want to put myself amongst those characters and see them interact with my avatar. It just makes for a more intimate play-through, personally.

This is how most men have seen it for the past 100 years, technology aside. It was one of the arguments used to push faggotry for a long time: "b-but lesbians are hot!"

Then it went to "bake the cake bigot", and now it's at "either you give your kid puberty blockers or the government will".
