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

[Zombra]

Gotta say I agree with Takamori about the trope of "you are a very special Jedi". I want to make a troubled knight, or an obsessed rogue, or a wizard under the thrall of an evil god, and tell a fascinating story about that person ... but then your character gets buried under this "OH YOU ARE ACTULALY HALF DROAGN AND CAN YELL NAD KNCOKC DOWN WALLS" bullshit. Sigh, okay, I guess I'm watching this story now.

Reminder for everyone that this game was supposed to be released on Stadia. But Stadia is dead.

The King is dead. Long live the King... and all that...

Whelp, I will be doing two playthroughs right off the bat. I'll be doing the monk run on my own, and roll a cleric in co-op, with a bro.

What? You got a problem with drag queens??? Bigot.

I hope the Social Police don't show up and knock at my door when I choose the "No, I'm not interested in a sexual relationship with you or your animal companion, thanks" dialog option when dealing with a male druid party member.

J.R.R. Tolkien- The Hobbit

Even LOTR wasn't about a chosen one. Frodo was just a guy who inherited a ring and seemed to deal with it well enough for the others to trust him with taking it to Mordor.

Aragorn is the chosen one in Lord of the Rings. Or close enough, anyway; I didn't want someone to have a stronger complaint about anything included in the list than the Elric stories.

Think of all the free money Larian got from Google to support it.

I chose to spare the graphic details, but you had to show it anyway, don't you? You sadist!

Live your truth, friend.

Bane of what? Heterosexuality?

You know things have gotten really, really bad when you miss Sarevok...

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

[Takamori]

At least Sarevok didn't join a KPop group

The weirdest part to me is that the images for Bhaal and Myrkul that came out at the same time were way more interesting. I have no idea why whoever okayed the art decided to fuck over Bane in particular.

Bhaal

Myrkul

Sarevok was a great villain and doesn't afraid of anything.

Getting him to question his fundamental convictions was one of the best parts of the series. I mean, actually getting there is retarded and nobody sane should let him anywhere near their party, but it was still memorable.

I mean, it's retarded and nobody sane should let him anywhere near their party, but it was still memorable.

Hadn't he lost the Bhaal essence at that point? There was nothing he could do.

I consider a portion of Imoen's soul a small price to pay for his services.

4. ?????
5. Profit?


He does have some great quotes though. I'm reading through them now.

Sarevok: I like you, Dorn. We've much in common.
Dorn: High praise.
Sarevok: Indeed. It's a shame you're a fool.

FUCK I had to look didn't I? Disgusting subhumans.
I remember Sarevok having this super attack when using a two-hander in ToB. he'd just do 100 damage and fuck anyone up. It was great, but I had no idea what it was.

Yes?

You're talking to someone who thinks Korgan is probably the best companion in the game. Recruiting psychos isn't exactly something that bothers me.

This is making me start to agree with the turn off the narrator crowd.
