*it* is an elf. Think with your WIS, not with your CHA, please.

I like elf boobies

 

[whydoibother]

NOOOOOO DONT PROMOTE THE ELF

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

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.

Yes, we wouldn't want to look like NERDS as we tune in to a stream to learn about upcoming patches of Baldy's Gape 3

 

[rusty_shackleford]

inventory is being revamped, he didn't expand past that
disengage will be a regular action, not a bonus action

and another fucking commercial, fuck it someone else can post the info

New spell effects to make it easier to recognize spells in combat, combat AI improvements regarding spells, Swen cussing and apologizing because some american in the chat pointed it out.
No new quests and no new "content", but new permutations in dialogue and quests depending on variables on your character and what you've done before.

It grew on me, I now think its 99% fun and only 1% cringe. HOWEVER, Baldur's Gate 3 isn't supposed to be a nerd game, its supposed to be a mainstream big seller, with big budget and big marketing. They do want the notorious "call of duty audience", or I guess Fortnite audience these days.

 

[Larianshill]

It doesn't exist! Nobody puts anti-magic fields in their games anymore, this is 2021!

Not bad.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

that's supposed to be shadowheart and her box thing, right?

 

[whydoibother]

Is this meant to be Shadowheart under the hood there?

 

[Larianshill]

They seem to have animated the race war in the Druid Grove

 

[Larianshill]

Also, finally the bonuses are added from the roll, instead of substracted from the difficulty.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

"active roll system", can cast bonuses in the roll screen
roll UI itself has been revamped

Its a class war, the tenants against the landlords.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

your background now has goals and when you do things that align with your background you get rewarded for it
"hundreds of these goals have been added"

 

[Infinitron]

Would have been nice if they'd just shown this video at the beginning.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

shadowheart can now be freed in the tutorial due to considerable feedback asking to do so

Great, Guidance was very awkward to use before. Now it seems solid.
Also I hope they changed Shadowheart's stats, since iirc she was specialized like a DEX cleric, and had low DEX? Or some such.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

like original BG games the characters have more comments when given a command(over 800 voice barks in the EA alone so far)

 

[rusty_shackleford]

you can now do non-lethal attacks via a toggle for pacifist players

 

[whydoibother]

You can now simulate people's death instead of proper killing them, for uberautists who want a pacifist run of a murderhobo campaign.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

the cost of camp supplies needed to rest increases when you level up, camp supplies itself is a new system being added

 

[Larianshill]

Well, that was certainly something, but now I want patch 6.
