fighting various amounts of goblins in low level D&D is not one of them.

The problem is not fighting goblins. The problem is fighting goblins that can soak multiple crossbow hits due his insane hp. Larian could give the option to at least speed up the combat. Allowing concurrent turns for enemies and 10x faster animations. It would drastically improve BG3. Many people here in codex prefer RtWP cuz they never played great TB games(ToEE, all D&D games from SSI, KoTC1/2 among other examples).

And the other problem is that the story on BG3 is not a low level campaign. A game which starts with a mindflayer spelljammer ship fighting a draconic army and you quickly meet wizards with netherese orbs of destruction is more epic than the beginning of Hordes of the Underdark and Mask of the betrayer combined. Two epic level adventures.

 

[Ruchy]

Ahhh back to the demonstrably false hp bloat myth.

 

[Ontopoly]

Lot's of myths floating around BG3. The Myth that larian is competent. The myth that Swen dumbfuck has ever made a good product or contributed positively to society in any way. The myth that larian cultists aren't blind fanboys that would enjoy any piece of shit their cult leader puts out.

[Alienman]

Oh boy. Prepare for cringe.

 

[NJClaw]

At Larian they weren't satisfied with relegating the cringe only to the content of the game, so now it overflows also into every single piece of promotional material.

Oh boy. Prepare for cringe.

You must clench you teeth before venturing forth.

 

[gurugeorge]

Hey, at least they can afford decent cozzies

No, I genocide elf also. Goblin genocide is a side gig.

I'll be busy DMing on thursday at that time, so it will be up to Codex to keep me updated on the patch notes.

Not that it really means anything, but just for the record I was checking an update Fextralife published on Youtube about how they are going to co-stream and comment this PFH 3 live:

We'll be Co-Streaming the Panel From Hell III for Larian as they discuss the upcoming changes to Baldur's Gate 3 occurring with Update 5! The Livestream will take place on the 8th of July at 11 AM PST on our Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/fextralife. You can also expect a patch notes summary here on YouTube immediately following the event, and you're going to love the changes!

It seems to imply that they are already aware of at least some of the changes being introduced and they also sound fairly happy about them.
Hope I'll be able to share the enthusiasm when the reveal comes.

 

[Larianshill]

I don't think Fextralife liking the changes is necessarily good news.

I don't think Fextralife liking the changes is necessarily good news.

I have honestly no idea of what they usually like, which is a big part of the reason I'm at very least wary of sharing the optimism.

Going by their usual content, Fextralife should be pretty awful. I remember looking over some of their builds for a few games and wondering how someone could come up with character builds so bad and then presenting them as guides, then felt sorry for anyone who actually followed them. I think there was even someone who did a challenge run for DOS:2 called a "Fextralife builds challenge."

 

[Lacrymas]

Oh boy. Prepare for cringe.

My body is ready.

 

[underground nymph]

I hope we will get more haircuts and Halsin as romanceable option. Swen don’t let us down.

 

[jackofshadows]

I hope they'll LARP their way out of at least few sex encounters.

 

[The_Mask]

I laughed. It's bad. It's cringy. But I laughed. I don't know what this says about me anymore... or about my sanity, but I laughed.

They were pretty good on D:OS II. They have some decent talent if the game has enough eyeballs.
