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

[rusty_shackleford]

Early access is a scam when it's done by a big company like Larian. Indie early access could be scammy too, but sometimes they just really need the money to develop the game. Nowadays people are so dumb that it's basically a scammer's heaven.

Larian's entire philosophy behind their marketing for this is their public image. By maintaining the status quo by making those utterly loathsome videos of Swen in armor, it dazzles the eyes of the common consumer into believing the BULLSHIT that Larian give a fuck about anything other than what's in their wallet.

thanks for reminding me of how dashing Swen is in his armor, going to go buy another copy to support him

How hard do you have to mentally suck a Belgian's dick before you realize that you're a fag?

rtwp is trash

The only people who hate RTWP are the guys who don't have enough neurons for real time strategizing.

Then why do you need the crutch pause?

This is a retarded comment. In RTWP, you don't need to pause unless you want to. I've run no-pause challenges since the dawn of RPG's. In turn based, you are basically forced to pause whenever anything happens, even for things that you absolutely do not care about. If anyone needs a crutch, it's the turn based advocates because they can't possibly process two things at the same time even with the help of the pause function in RTWP.

No. A turn is not a pause.

 

[JohnSmith24601]

No. A turn is not a pause.

It's a mandatory pause that makes no sense. A whole room of people are not going to just stand around waiting for you to shank them all with your super agile 20+AP ranger, but with turn based, it's not only possible but also optimal.

you realize IE RTwP is still turn-based, right?
The entire thing is an illusion.

Good thing that's not how it works.
Look, I know the concept of turn-based itself is hard for 2020s but such blatant ignorance is no excuse.

I blame gamedevs for this. What's happening would be more apparent if the game paused on your turn rather than having people play idle animations and whatever.

The only people who hate RTWP are the guys who don't have enough neurons for real time strategizing.

They lack the constitution to follow multiple things at once

Then why do you need the crutch pause?

Because it's strategic pause

All in all tb and rtwp are both great, but larian has no business changing a beloved series

No idea if other games have done it, but I saw this indie game do it and was really impressed at how combat flows

That argument/myth is so old...Your attacks may be turn based in RTWP, but your movements are not. You and your enemies move simultaneously in RTWP, and the resulting attacks of opportunities are way different.

BG1 & 2 don't have AoOs.

 

[JohnSmith24601]

BG1 & 2 don't have AoOs.

Ah ha! So not ALL RTWP games are just turn based now, huh? So it's not all just an illusion? Word of advice, next time before you spout out old myths repeated many times by other people, think about whether it's actually true.

I already stated there's a difference between true and fake RTwP though?

When? To me or a few pages backs?

Interview with Nick Pechenin the system designer: https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news...the_pure_RNG_of_Damp_Dinspired_dice_rolls.php

<...>
Some players want to save scum! They feel like this is the degree of control they have over the experience and they want to exercise that control. My fiance, she loves to save scum and if the game will not let her save scum she will make sure that she will hack it to be able to.
<...>

If I didn't know better, I'd say that he's gonna marry fantadomat

Who knows,maybe i am his gorgeous fiance ? I could be a top tier wifu,for all you know.

Holy fck, Nina Dobrev is a bulgarian cutie?!!! FCKING INCLINEEEEE!!! I want bulgar waifuuuu!!

She is not even that good looking lol. Also nah,you should keep to picking british.....ladies.

Lol british "women" are disgusting.

You're not gonna stop me Mitko, fuck corona, I'm coming to get your sister!

 

[JohnSmith24601]

Why are British and American women so fat?

 

[Swen]

Why are British and American women so fat?

British sloots are inbred and don't know how to take care of themselves.

Night out with the ladies:

...but I confess, I do love some slag once in a while. It's like you crave for a kebab sometimes but after you finished, you feel disgusted with yourself.

 

[sullynathan]

What page can i find how butthurt the codex was when this sold 1 million copies in a week?

So you are here exactly why? Just to piss ppl off?

I am happy that they sold so many copies because every company that produce solid RPGs is a win in my book. Now, did they (so far) create a BG3? No, hell no.

I am here to to laugh

 

[Yosharian]

I just got back to the UK after a 3 year stay in Japan and honestly I am revulsed by 95% of the women I see, they are disgustingly overweight especially compared to Japanese women and also just generally ugly. And I'm not even one of those people who has 'yellow fever', I actually find western women more attractive in terms of body shape and face shape, but Japanese women (and men, but I'm straight so whatever) actually take care of their bodies and have a degree of class that most UK women couldn't even dream of.

Western culture is just degenerate honestly, not saying Eastern culture is superior in all ways, far from it, but fuck me people are just morons here.

Where were they in the Shrek movies? They would fit right in Shrek's swamp.
