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

[Heroic Liberator]

I can never tell with these Larian presentations, if its cringe or fun. Its riding a line 1 atom wide, somehow.

One man's cringe is another thing's fun.

It's awkward from a spectator's point of view, but the employees seem to be having fun. It's a very thin line.

Also the new rolling interface is nice. I'm glad they added the option to cast modifiers immediately before the cast so you don't have to manually cast it before every stat check.

fun, only codex cringetards would be incapable of having fun

 

[Quillon]

What are your salami skills?

 

[Hellion]

Presenting new game features/updates via a LARP stream must be a world first.

Swen's genuine laughter and enthusiasm over the whole thing sure is contagious.

Shut up, normie.

Kill the elf.

No! Fun! ALLOWED!

 

[rusty_shackleford]

where you camp now depends on the zone you're in, no longer always go to a forest area
resting requires supplies(food, etc?)
short rests + long rests are both in, long rests require more supplies

hope I got that right

 

[Infinitron]

 

[CodexTotalWar]

It sounds like they will be implementing a partial rest system where if you don't have enough supply, you only get a portion of HP and Spells back during a long rest?

Swen says this is not the patch. The next one is the patch, featuring a new class. So, excited for paladin in half a year.

Still no Duergar, still no play.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Got up to get a drink so I missed half of that, something about backgrounds + inspiration points. Infini?
Also, he was asked about races and said a lot of it is being saved for release.

Multiclassing will come eventually to early access
Something about reactions being extended

Paladin for Christmas sounds nice.

Swen talks about extending reactions, but not in this patch.

Can't they use nu-XCOM's take, like Solasta? It basically has overwatch stance. You "precast" an ability on this turn, and it goes off if you get a valid target, on the target's turn.

OR

If they want to be autistic (though for a AAA++ big budget game this is stupid to try), they can do a mini-scripting interface, like Dragon Age Origins had. If enemy under 50% health, cast X. If ally surrounded by 3+ enemies, cast Y.

 

[Larianshill]

The disengage and jump have been split.

 

[Gargaune]

"Playing to your background" will net you inspiration points, now capped at 4. If you're full up on inspiration points you'll get XP instead.

something about disengage+jump being split then twitch hit me with a commercial right in the middle of swen speaking

Ideally they should just copy Solasta's pop-ups.
I'm not sure how well scripting AI behaviour between turns would work in a turn based game tbh, especially when reactions are a limited resource [per turn]

I keep two Twitch tabs opened and whenever the one I'm watching gets the 30s purple screen I just switch to the other tab.
It's probably not the best solution but it works and I don't have to update ad block scripts every week to stay ahead of their constant cat-and-mouse hunt for ad blockers.

ALERT ALERT SAVE SCUMMER DETECTED

 

[Larianshill]

I am enjoying this.
