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

Were you playing it a ton in EA or something?

This is why I never touched the EA, its all fresh for me

BTW this channel has also started a "hype train" chat room.

I played EA on release for 6 hours, before going into the waiting mode for 2 years, and then played for 6 more hours couple weeks ago.

Still hyped.

I just struggle to find time to play big uh, hefty cRPGs without splitting up sessions to the point you lose track of what you're trying to do. So it just makes zero sense to me to play them in EA. Much less of an issue with roguelikes and roguelites.

BTW this channel has also started a "hype train" chat room.

There's no preload because they're worried about people playing EA on the eve of launch? That's bizarre. Especially given they're telling people to delete their saves anyway.

I'm watching this video and he says that even if you break your oath as a paladin, you will be able to reset it because they want you to be able "to continue your playthrough no matter what." Decline. It's almost like they're afraid of letting players make bad or non-standard choices.

Well, I think most people struggle with that once they're out of school/university

Taking it away before release probably breaks some steam rule for developers.

Well, You can get your eye gouged out with an ice-pick trying to pull out the worm and get a permanent debuff for the rest of the game.

we get it junmarko, ur edgy.

anyway, how many of you are planning to coop bg3?

I find cRPGs in coop to be an absolute slog. Granted, I only tried it with both DOS 1 and 2, which I don't particularly like, but still. I want to play on my own time.

Never, ever do this. Faggots will insist on playing in coop with you, nolife on the first and maybe second day and then somehow never have time to play. I know better now and just tell them to fuck off.

100% accurate to my experience. They go hard as fuck for 72 hours and then you never see them again. In many games you are then stuck with the shitty characters they created and have to "pilot" them for the rest of the game. Most people are absolute fucking flakes and totally unreliable is what I've learned in life. Co-op turn based RPG is just asking to be frustrated & disappointed. Hard pass!

But why do you guys play coop with random morons you met on the internet?

you think these misanthropic weird fucks have irl friends

Hard to call that a dealbreaker. They destroyed all sense of permanence for sure, and I'd rather it not exist... but I'll also just not use it.
Not the first time an RPG came out that required some self-restricting rules to make better.

I always try to look for the good in people.

The more important question, Who's dumb enough to ask a friend to play a video game instead of going to party and have fun? Baldur's gate 3 in top of that.

Don't answer I know it: Codexers.

This Morgana Evelyn channel got me curious. Was someone really obsessed enough to feed a voice generation algorithm with Shadowheart's lines? Because I don't see how else he is making the videos in that voice.

I wouldn’t call it an obsession because It’s not that hard to do nowadays, but yes it’s probably AI.

Hit a nerve, did I?
It's okay to have incel and asocial friends, not surprised coming from you.

For sure, but sometimes people are a bit funny here if you haven't played their favourite RPG yet.

Uh, why not both??? Comes across as roleplaying having a social life if you think it's not common for people to play games with their irl friends where interests align...

This is probably old by now, but some redditor created a character builder. In case anyone needs/wants it:

That wasn't even true 20 years ago and now even less so. My niece and her girlfriends run a D&D round and it's not something particularly unique in their age group.

It’s probably bcause you are an ugly alcoholic, not because of tabletops.

Helpful for those who didn't have EA access or didn't play, but definitely missing some things.
Just a heads up if anyone uses it, make sure to recheck options in game.

Please post pictures of your niece and her gfs.

Man, the hypetrain on reddit and youtube videos is disgusting.
I bought a game and I'm pretty sure I will have some fun with it but everything to the regular degree. Some people are expecting a total masterpiece that beats every other game out there. There are delusional types who actually add unexisting "future features" to the game, like GM mode (Confirmed as "Most probably not coming") and totally new modules. Try to speak some truth about the game (eg. that modding in new content piece on their engine is a bitch) and you're getting downvoted to hell. Try speaking against ridiculously written characters (sorry, I feel like most companions simply sucked in EA) and they call you incel and other names, lol.
And I thought people learned their lesson with being hyped about other titles.

I wonder what will be the end verdict after several months.

Also, Youtube sewer going strong.
