PST doesn't need a sequel.
Torment doesn't need a sequel but Planescape is a good setting.
Makes me almost wish WotC would be as retarded with their license(s) as Games Workshop.
"oh you're gonna make a shitty cash in mobile game, here is the 40K license."

ITT: people not realizing that BG3 already is a direct sequel to PS:T. WAKE UP SHEEPLE
BG3 is going to be a monster game tying together Planescape , Faerun, Eberron, etc... through Spelljammer.

Strap Yourselves In Serpent in the Staglands Shadorwun: Hong Kong Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
To be more productive about the feedback thread I'm glad that Larian is at least aware that the evil route is downright comical and veering into cartoon evil territory. Also it's interesting that they are surprised with Halsin's popularity, I mean he is an elf who has the form a bodybuilder, a good druid and is more than willing to slaughter goblins. What's not to like about that? I would gladly trade him for Wyll.
Halsin being young/fit was a last minute change according to the writer, he previously was old and wizened.
But, yes, dude is jacked AF.

Grab the Codex by the pussy Strap Yourselves In Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Basically, CHARNAME under the influence of someone else murdered Skie(BG1 companion that got an expanded story in SoD) using Soultaker. That's about all I can remember, and it's never followed up on at all.
Beamdog continuing BioWare's tradition of killing off BG1 companions.

What can change the nature of an autist?

Anyway, is it just me or does vulkan look like complete shit compared to DX11?

:nocountryforshitposters:

Swen dumbed down the gameplay in DOS2 immensely and added a ton of Bioware style sexy time options specifically to cater to casuals and the mainstream.
At this point sex scenes don't count since they're a staple of the genre. AAA, indie or AA arpeegee fans expect some form of romance and sex scenes.

Yes we know some mechanics in OS2 was shit but it's more enjoyable than OS and better in other ways (companions, Quest design, interactivity). So far, BG3 is better than both.

One of these days I'll actually apply for a 40k license and make that debauched slanneshi cultist simulator that everyone's been waiting for.

Plot: lots of sex, punctuated by occasional murder by khornate berserker.

I'm probably biased, but lol at these pg 13 "sex scenes."

Go hardcore or go home.

Is there any way to hide that fucking minimap? There's a little arrow on it that looks like a collapse button, but it doesn't do anything. Damn thing's an eyesore.

Depends on your hardware, RTX 2XXX don't play nice with Vulkan.
Didn't even try Vulkan, but the game's perfectly smooth with DX11 on my 2070. I suspect most mid-range GPUs from the last four years will be able to handle it just fine.

Yeah basically the game runs perfectly fine on 1660 and 1650 and AMD equivalents in Vulkan but RTX cards shit the bed with Vulkan, at least from what I've read.
DX11 is also possibly slightly better if you have less than 16gb of ram or use an HDD.

I'll quote myself because I'm that hot and sexy:
From experience and what I have learned :
If you have an RTX 2XXX use DX11.
8GB of RAM is borderline because the game has memory leaks, on my machine it typically averages 10GB of RAM usage.
HDD are a bottleneck for the game, if you don't have an SSD to install it to I wouldn't even bother playing for now.
The game is relatively light on your GPU and previous gen GTX 1XXX run it fine.
CPU doesn't seem to overload but I haven't really checked it on my old FX-8350.

I think there’s a setting to hide it in settings.
