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

There is one thing I really don't understand about this thread:

Where does the association between chains and toilets come from????

Spoiler

What a strange contraption. In what parts of the world are these common?

Pretty much anywhere they were civilized enough to have proper toilets, if go back in time far enough.

Then again I'm not sure how common it may be in English to refer to a "toilet chain", because quite frankly at first I came up with the label for the Larian system in Italian, using what's a very common italian way to refer to the "toilet flush" in old-styled bathrooms (I think my exact words were more or less "la loro catenella del cesso di sto cazzo" if we have to be that specific).

The translation is just something I improvised trying to adapt in English a rant I already had among Italian friends.
And then I noticed other people on the Larian forum adopted without protesting, so I assumed it didn't sound too weird.

You are aware that in any conventional toilet there's a chain inside the tank that connects the float and the valve stopper, right?

 

[Harthwain]

Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars had a toilet chain segment in Marib, Syria:


You can also see another a toilet chain in Paris, France (although there it is not part of a puzzle):


The game was released in 1996.

Judging from his avatar, I doubt his idea of a loo is anything other than a hole with a few bushes around it.

You still have 8 pages on fireballs to go. It's not the time to stray off topic!

Could you send a fireball up someone's ass to make him explode from the inside out?

If rule 34 has taught me anything, it's that you can do this with a magic missile. But they don't explode afterward.

Hotfix #21 Now Live!
Version Number: 4.1.1.1489302

Hello everyone,

We’ve got another hotfix for you today, addressing several crashes, glitches, and bugs.

Are you all aware of the phrase ‘Were you raised in a barn?’ Well, it’s clear that your party members weren’t, otherwise they’d know to close an open container! Last hotfix, they were flying fast and loose with lids. Who knows what sort of weird and horrifying grub could have crawled in? Not to worry, we’ve given them all a brief lesson in manners and now they’ll close containers behind them. Also, we found Withers’ face again.

Thank you to everyone who reported these issues to us via support, socials, and more - your feedback is always appreciated! Thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3.

CRASHES

• Fixed a crash that would occur when changing the selected character multiple times.
  
• The game no longer crashes if you move items to the custom Hotbar and stack those items in your inventory. This crash also occurred if you tried to throw the stacked items using the item icon on the Hotbar.
  
• The game no longer crashes if you try to join a multiplayer session with no controllable characters. You will now be unable to join the session.
  
• The game no longer crashes when the Examine panel is open and you try to resize the game's window.
  
• The game no longer crashes in the Camp cinematic with Raphael at the House of Hope.
  
• The game no longer crashes if you hover the cursor over the icon of the pouch containing the Spider Egg Sac after opening the pouch. However, please call the Larian helpline immediately if baby spiders begin pouring out of your monitor.
  
• Fixed a bug that was causing the sound system to crash the game during several cinematics.

GAMEPLAY

• Entering Turn-Based Mode with the filtered view enabled no longer blocks all the filtered Actions and Spells.
  
• You can now interact with containers (opened or dropped) once you pick them up and put them in your inventory.
  
• Containers now close after you drop an item into them.
  
• Fog of War on the map no longer resets if you reload a save after meeting the gith patrol.
  
• Changing the resolution mid-game no longer causes the minimap to rotate incorrectly when you rotate the in-game camera.
  
• A successful Saving Throw is now reflected correctly if the character breaks out of the effects of Hideous Laughter.
  
• The Spellsparkler quarterstaff now works with Activate Witch Bolt and the wielder now gains 2 Lightning Charges when using a spell or cantrip as intended. It will also trigger Lightning Blast.
  
• The Watersparker boots now only electrify water surfaces in combat.

AUDIOVISUAL

• Improved dirt and lighting on characters in-game.
  
• Fixed the wrong spell animations appearing.
  
• Fixed Wither's face model in all his cinematics. Literal nightmare fuel.
  
• Fixed lighting and shadow issues for Daisy in Character Creation, who had a bright red nose, lips, and ears. A bold fashion statement.
  
• You can now correctly hear Shadowheart's voice barks when she is stuck in the pod on the nautiloid.

• If you have followers or summons, splitting an item stack in the Party Panel no longer causes the portraits to suddenly overlap the UI.
  
• Concentration spell tooltips no longer display the Empowered Spell tooltip. Having the ability to cast spells does make us all feel empowered, sure, but this may have been overkill.
  
• Equipping a two-handed weapon now greys out the off-hand weapon slot in the Character Sheet.
  
• Portraits will no longer break for players who have been reassigned to a different character in a multiplayer session.

There was supposed to be 10 pages of fireball discussion. But looks like this thread is dead. Pretty soon it's just going to be monthly Infinitron posts

 

[Reinhardt]

About fireball, only I believe that it is a overrated spell? In BG2, I always memorize or lightning bolt or skull trap. A lot of enemies are fire resistant or immune, it can deal team damage and it has a lot of other problems. Lightning bolt in other hands, I can hit enemies in a line. Skull trap can be used as a trap or as a damaging spell and the radius is smaller hence less chance of team damage.

Lol, nigger, and you call yourself man in dress? I don't play wizzords and still know exact fireball range.
Also "hit enemies in line". Are you running away from them or what?

We always conduct sufficiently-extensive discussion of classic D&D to ensure that conversation about Baldur's Gate itself is thwarted. No need to belabor a point, when we can instead wait for the next opportune moment to intervene.

I can have my companions throw a rock to hit me and continue my rage

I wasn't assaulting you bro, I just want you to do your best.

 

[mediocrepoet]

I just wish the BG3 Barbarian character model was buff and huge like I think of a fantasy barbarian. If the character model looks like me doing some sort of gay cosplay thing, it's not sufficiently muscular.

 

[perfectslumbers]

That Barbarian looks like he spends all of his time in the corner of a Starbucks on his Macbook Air working on his Bachelor of Liberal Studies

Still excited for bg3 though

 

[Fedora Master]

You people are surprised that a company filled with soycucks can't design high testosterone characters?

Nobody is surprised we just like to circlejerk like redditors

Good, perhaps now the healing can begin.

I see your non-muscularity and raise you the limp wrist. That thing is worse than kevin trying to look tough for his group whale photoshoot.

Mods will fix it.

 

[Infinitron]

This isn't really an argument, but an actual "barbarian" in a medieval fantasy subsistence environment would be more likely to look like a wiry lunatic (think Sting in Dune 1984) than a protein shake-chugging gym bro. It's kind of interesting that they went in this pseudo-realistic direction.

I'd think they'd look more like Brian Blessed in his prime.

I am pretty sure body types is a work in progress thing
