Guess that settles the debate on whether this was made for boomers or zoomers. Owlcat's idea of a tutorial was to provide a link to PFSRD...
Which was pretty incompetent, considering their audience seems to be mostly LGBLT faggot zoomers.
Au contraire, their retard filter is working as intended.

If you mean that only the retarded play it, then yes.

Anyone on this site can play it, tutorial or no. But only the brain damaged can actually stomach the beyond dogshit writing.

Any game that simply hands you a link to the rules and expects you to learn them is bound to be more inclined than one that "revolves around accessibility and on-boarding."

Unless they put in a bunch of dumb tranny shit and their source material is written by a fat, batty fag hag.

What, like this:
:nocountryforshitposters:

A single optional gay romance scene isn't a main quest filled with poorly written fags that you can't get rid of until the end game.

Not that I want to defend Larian's games, since I've openly stated I didn't really like any of them apart from BG3 and the original Divine Divinity, but you're grasping at straws here.
At least Owlcat has the excuse of their Paizo contract...
And the companions written by Owlcat?

I can tell you're butthurt by my criticizing your favorite sodomy RPG, but at least try to be tactful and stop digging through Larian's old games in a desperate attempt to find anything even remotely as embarrassing as Wrath of the Tranny.

I'm saying that BalD:OS Gate 3 is a dogshit game that is more focused on gimmick bullshit like Mo-cap and VA rather than creating a great multiclassing system, and you're hiding behind some ridiculous argument about how you can't play WotR because it has trannies in the main quest but it's okay for you to play games with gay sex if they have single optional gay romances, and you think I'm the one who is grasping at straws? Pretty much every main stream cRPG for the past 20 years, including BG2, has had this crap in it. So drop the stupid talking point and explain to me how BalD:OS Gate 3's character creation system is better than the one in WotR.

And the companions written by Owlcat?

The entire extent of your childish argument is 'LGBTQ bad', so I concede the point. But if that's true, and you refuse to play any game that have that type of content, why would you be interested in ANY Larian game?

D:OS again. Took me a second. The game really lives in your head rent-free, huh?

It's 5e, none of the systems are going to be great. That said, they say they're working on multiclassing. If they complete it before the end, will you do a 180 and suddenly like the game? Of course not.

You've already decided you hate it just because of the developer. Which is a shame because it's actually a decent RPG. Beyond mocap, they really focused on quest design and dialog. There are more stat rolls in this opening section than in most full-fledged games.
Pretty much every main stream cRPG for the past 20 years, including BG2, has had this crap in it.
As I said, there's a difference between having a single gay character in your game and making the entire main quest center around a lesbian orc and her transsexual "wife", or having the majority of your NPC companions be sexual deviants.

To make it even simpler for you: A little of something does not equal a lot of something. And merely including something in your game does not equal virtually centering your game around that thing.

What BG3 does already much better than WOTR is immersion. Both visually and narratively. And this is the most important thing for me in games. I can’t be interested in a character creating system without a legit world this character supposed to inhabit.

5e is really ok for me. Yes, it is simplified in some aspects, but imo that has been done on purpose to make all stuff meaningful. I enjoyed combat in Solasta and BG3 with the exception of their home brew stuff. Although I see why some people may not be excited about 5e. So to each their own.

Anyway the main reason why WOTR is irredeemable for me is the writing, characters and the overall tone which treats you as a pink haired, juvenile imbecile. As for the character creation simulator, I see why some people may be excited about it, though I find it a little bit bloated for the sake of it. I still can see Pathfinder pros in regards of mechanics.

Hey, it wasn’t me who demanded to include romance-able NPCs in CRPGs. Although I am not a big fan of this feature, I can understand where this comes from: it is natural for human beings to develop complex relationships after all. And since a lot of people as it turns out seek these relationships in a video games, here we go.

As for the sex scenes I guess there was no workaround for Larian to implement romances without actually showing how people bang since hey we have all other aspects mo-capped already, just fading screen to black with a vague indication of something happening would have been lame. Will it be cringe? To some extent. Depends on your tastes I guess. If you like soft porn, I guess you’ll enjoy it. Since I only trust this aspect to the very few dedicated producers some of whom were persecuted by FBI, I don’t think it’s going to be my favorite part of the game.

Heh, this thread is working wonderfully as a containment device. Glad I don’t see most of these posters in threads for games that are actually good.

The development speed of Baldur's Gate 3 might seem unreasonable to many, but when you look at the closer picture it makes sense:
Swen has to fly all the way from Belgium to California every day in order to rub the the BG intellectual property in both Feargus Urquharts and Brian Fargos faces.

This thread also tends to attract an immense amount of butthurt :lol:
There's 3 or 4 no-lifers here that come over and scream any time the thread gets bumped over their precious Wrath of the Tranny for any extended period.

They're insanely angry at Larian for games released more than 4 years ago, in their own IP.

Probably because they didn't have enough faggots in them, and completely lacked WotR's poop-eating scenes or whatever else they loved about that buggy piece of trash. They whine about things like mocap and sex scenes, but they'd all be singing the praises of both if they were in their favorite Sodom simulator instead of BG3.

I applaud the steadfast believe of some posters in this thread, that BG 3 will be pure incline by codex standards, but the truth is Baldurs Gate 3 will be pozzed, no doubt about it. The question is, how much.

I believe that Swen himself would not pander to SJWs, but there are a couple of concerning developments. For example: The first Gameplay-Demo, played by the man himself, he chose his sex and called it "body type", I only saw this video once, but I still remember that. Another bullshit decision is that female Dwarves can have a beard, which I presume stems from the stupid joke in The Two Towers, about female dwarves having a beard etc. Even if implemented as a joke, there is no joking on such matters with SJWs.

One big concern is the impression I got from many casul BG3-"fans", who seem to be of biowarian stock, you know, mainly concerned with how their MC looks and who to romance and who should be romanceable etc. And the biggest concern is that BG3 is on the mainstreams radar! You can bet your ass there will be many games "journalists", if not payed off properly, writing stupid takes on even more stupider topics, that somehow involve BG3 and Twitter-Scum will flock to it and demand changes for a game they never wanted to buy and still will never buy. So if you say: "BG3 does not have Trannies", the right answer is "does not have Trannies yet"

About 7 years ago I would never have believed that SJWism could truly destroy the fun of a game but I was young and naive back then

Now I have come to realize that well meaning SJWism can absolutely destroy a game. But I am an eternal optimist and I prefer to wait and see how any development company implements its interpretation of SJ because it doesnt automatically have to mean sacrificing gaming entertainment on the altar of political correctness ...it varies from game to game

But a big problem for me is when you have no hot female characters and metaphorically speaking the equivalent of no " chainmail bikini armor " . But as I have mentioned in the past I have faith in Larian to deliver on BG3, I believe they understand the importance and significance of this beloved franchise and I loved D:OS2 so their track record also matters to me

If ever there was a great example of how you people see SJW insertions everywhere no matter what, this has got to be it.

Maybe, but can you blame them? In the most popular games you never had the option of playing a female dwarf with a beard, so that it gets implemented now, might raise an eyebrow. I still assume that most people believe the female dwarves have beards-thing, is because of that one time joke of Gimli and not, because of some horny librarian like Greenwood.
