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

[The_Mask]

It's a Larian thread after all.

It doesn't matter what developer thread it is. We can go from quoting Nietzsche to talking about shovelling shit, as long as it's about the game.

If anything, it is you using "weebs" and "drones" and "trash" in a specifically derogatory way that is the one that dragged the debate(s) down.

My BG2:EE solo run on Legacy of Bhaal difficulty

Not the biggest fan of giving an assist to Swen trolling, but imagine complaining about "HP bloat" in BG3 and then playing BG2 at "Legacy of Bhaal", where even the starting rats in the basement have 90hp or so.

 

[Cryomancer]

I thought you only played the original version

I played both, EE and original.

Friendly reminder:

Friendly reminder. Game journalists are worse than 5 YO child, so theirs opinions should worth less than 5 YO children.





According to game journalists

• Gothic 3 and ArcaniA have the same metascore despite ArcaniA being complete shit and G3 just not as great as Gothic 1.
• Fallout 3 has a higher metascore compared to Fallout New Vegas which brings a lot of amazing stuff from FL1/2 back.
• Diablo 3 and Diablo 2 have the same metascore despite D2 being good and D3 shit
• Oblivion and Skyrim has higher metascore than Morrowind
• ArmA 3 metascore is 74 about the same metascore of CoD: Vanguard

I only played it ONCE to see if I can complete.

"By putting in a sequencer/contigency two lower resist + a greater malison, you can reduce up to 60% of enemy MR and make him deal a save vs spell at -8 penalty(-4 from malison + -2 from necromancer specialization + -2 from FoD spell itself), so, against Firkraag, the Red Dragon, great malison has a 95% chance of sticking. 65% chance of Firkraag failing his save against the FoD if the malison is on, 45% if it isn't. Combined, that's a 64% chance of failing his save. Then it's 95% to beat the remaining magic resistance with the FoD, for an overall 60.8% chance of the two-round kill vs the dragon. If you try to kill the same enemy using damaging spells, would take far more time on LoB with far less chance of success."

---------

You can just not use damaging spells and use enchantment, summons and OHK spells. Cloudkill still amazing vs low level enemies. Disintegrate/Finger of Death in LoB or normal mode are equally effective.

2-3 years later the game still looks like a divinity original sin mod.

And it is not?

Just look to this thread. People who played BG1/2 multiple times are hating this game and Larian fans are loving. I really miss TSR. Even if you only play CRPG's. we had tons of amazing D&D CRPG's in SSI times. the true baldur's gate saga, Icewind dale, two games set in Dark Sun, two in Ravenloft, Krynn(...) And now with Woketards? Only generic wow clones, mobile cashgrabs and a DOS2 reskin

Liking Pathfinder is all fine and dandy, but don't come in here talking about 'Woketards' without prefacing it with a big dick disclaimer that you my friend, are a fucking hypocrite.

I like Pathfinder RULESET and less than AD&D 2E. However, I do agree that writing in PF:WoTR is trash. And that modern Paizo is awful. But at least Paizo allowed OwlCat to maintain PF:WoTR in 1E instead of forcing the atrocious 4e/5e clone aka pf2e into then. Pf2e has all problems which plagues D&D 5e with all problems which plagues D&D 4e combined. I hate it.

Complains about "HP bloat" in BG3 are also a bit questionable in the context of praising Pathfinder in contrast.

There are a huge difference. hp bloat in a game where you can cast Absolute death :

Is 1000x less of a problem than hp bloat in a game where you can at best cast magic missile with very slow TB combat. And BTW, I prefer Kingmaker over WoTR and one of the reasons is because there are less bloat in Kingmaker.

therefore monks are commies and hence not as superior as you claim.

There are a huge difference. Monks made the vow of poverty and follow it. Commies wanna everyone else to make vow of poverty while the great leader and his friends live in absolute luxury.

Bloat is so bad, that you have to use 1 specific ability to counteract it.
-There is no bloat, guys.

What's up with you and Duergar? Is there any particular reason to like dark-skinned evil dwarfs?

I like Dwarves and they have more character than vanilla ones.

Today after being done with my patch 7 playthrough I decided to check the file integrity just to be sure if it was responsible of some of the missing audio I experienced etc.

Somehow, the client interpreted it like I was disinstalling the game and a survey popped asking me why I decided to stop playing and similar questions.

Still, at the question "WHAT WAS THE MOMENT THAT MADE YOU DECIDED TO STOP PLAYING?" I didn't miss my chance to answer "Every single second I had to deal with your chain-based controls".

Even today my job is done.

I don't understand why this game is still hyped here. I tried Belgian waffles before and they were nothing compared to Matza and Gefilte fish. And on top of that we have our own waffles that are superior. Why is everything the goyim do subpar and inferior compared to G-d's chosen people? If it weren't for us, the majority of nobel prize winners, scientists, inventors, lawyers, doctors, bankers, academics, and ceo's, the goyim would have NOTHING! Absolutely NOTHING! The goy is like a sheep that needs to be herded by a Jewish shepherd.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

The amount of times this guy's voice cracked. Ay caramba.

He sounds like the uh...wait, what was his name...?

Yeah, the Brian Stelter of games journalism.

Either that or their shitposting patterns are similar.

Believe it or not, despise the occasional shortcomings and the questionable (if not downright baffling) design decisions in some areas, there's something genuinely good here.
At times even genuine excellence on display.

Frankly even at worst I don't imagine this turning out as anything less than an absolutely solid game to play through. What's frustrating is that it could turn into a modern instant classic with some meaningful adjustments.

Don't worry Tucobro, your worries will be taken care of in the next few patches.

Come on, dude. I can't be everyone, can I?

edit: oops.

Are the animations, including preparing for a jump, still 15 seconds long?
Do you still need to pixel hunt your attacks and a screen shake can make you miss?
Does elevation still give you an IIRC +-15% variation on hitting ranged attacks, including spells?
Can I still dip my sword on fire, which affects my damage more than my equipment, talents or attributes?
Is barrelmancy still stronger than anything else?
Is moving speed still the most meaningful racial?
Can everyone still freely jump away from enemies?
Are the encounters still one round of walking away from each other?
Do you still rest in Dragon Age camp?

Oh yeah, activating Rage, something that should be instantaneous takes 5 whole seconds. And then people wonder why even the smallest fights in turn-based games take forever.

 

[Cryomancer]

The problem is animation speed + ruleset, not the turn based nature.

Yes to all. As for barrelmancy, Larian should add the barrelmancer wizard class and barrel thrower barbarian class.

 

[Larianshill]

Yes to all.

Victor confirmed for having no idea what he's talking about, yet again.
