I don't get why people put so much value in Tb or RtWP. There are a lot of amazing D&D games in RT(ravenloft strahd possession), RTwP(BG2) and TB(dark sun : wake of the ravager). For me, not being a mindless low lethality gear farming, cooldown managing with zero concern about game mechanics and lore in line is already good enough.

This game is more like the spiritual successor to Mass Effect 3. It has much more in common with that than it does BG2.

This game looks like if someone attempted to mod 5E rules into DOS2. Did they fixed wizards being able to change spells on the fly?

EDIT: There is a caveat for size difference and Gerontophilia. Size difference is only acceptable if it is an average sized human male having snu sun with a much larger barbarian female. Gerontophilia is only acceptable with a man and a mommy wife.
Thank you Merchant anon! You are a good strong 1% wealths friend anon anon! You are! I do want cute BG3 tadpole snu snu mommy wife anon! I do!

Imagine fucking your BG3 girlfriend and then, after 9 months, she gives birth to A MOTHERFUCKING XAURIP.

Please Sven, just give me this one.
Buddy, if you fucked in BG3 and she gives birth to a creature from a different RPG setting, that woman has some explaining to do.

"That game was good and it had RTWP" is very different from saying "That game was good BECAUSE it had RTWP" (or more specifically that it was made better by having it).

All jokes aside goblins so far are one of the highlight of this early access.
Excellent models, animations and voice acting. Plus some fairly hilarious dialogues to boot.
Most of the goblin characters are the stars of the show up to this point.

Hi, coming back after a 1 year hiatus to remind every WOTR faggot that you have no business evaluating good companion writing, notwithstanding the high probability of the writing being an absolute cringe-fest in this game as well.

Except that nobody likes WoTR due the companions, writing or anything like that. People like WoTR due the insane amount of options to build your char and power fantasy. According to Lacrymas, WoTR is the worst adventure path and I wish that OwlCAt will adapt rise of the runelords next. A AP all about fighting ancient tyrannical ultra specialized high level Wizard-kings.

But why people keep bringing WoTR in this thread? I get that BG3 lacks any content to discuss and looks more like someone modded 5E rules into DOS2 than a proper BG sequel(Black Geyser which isn't D&D looks more BGish than this game).

But a question. Is truth that Swen is considering changing to AEDU system from 4E? That he said that spell slots aren't intuitive and that he is considering AEDU( A = At-Will, E = Encounter, D = Daily, U = Utility)??? 4E is so awful that even 5E looks good in comparison. Is an attempt to bring the WoW decline which killed the ideas of game mechanics being in line with lore and transformed rpgs into mindless low lethality gear farming cooldown managing with no immersion into tabletop. And now PF2e is copying that decline.

Take notes Larian ameteurs. This is how you start a game.

No time wasted with exposition for an hour. Just one minute into the game and you're ready to go. Also, beautiful 2d sprites with no animations to slow the game down instead of ugly 3dpd polygons with slow janky animations that make the game take an hour just to get through a single round in a trivial fight.

Combat begins in BG3 in like 3 minutes after starting.

People who haven't even touched the game bashing it because they think it earns them codex cool kid points is hilarious
You mean the trivial one imp encounter that takes as long as a large encounter yet has no difficulty whatsoever? Then you have to spends quite a bit of time going through those trivial encounters until you're finally allowed out of the tutorial to play the game?
