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

[Morgoth]

Not bad for an Orcesse.

What the hell, you can fuck your followers as early as act 1?
Have they simply no shame or are they going all-in on trying to appeal to cumbrains and waifufags?

Maybe you would prefer to have a more cultured approach then? Some wine, the soothing sound of water plashing, and then a good-night kissy.

 

[bec de corbin]

Maybe you do increasingly kinky shit over time. A romance progression for the modern era

 

[J1M]

Any word on why fighters don't get to pick a combat style at level 1?

To be completely honest it's not as much about the approach or the way it's delivered, I'm just surprised they let you give your followers the sausage this early. Seems rather abrupt if you ask me.

I miss Gaider.

Gaider never did anything wrong he's just a liberal conformist going with the flow.

 

[BarbequeMasta]

I would if I can just stop laughing at her name.

 

[Shadenuat]

In my day to get virtual gaider waifu you had to go through dozen+ of triggered lovetalks, which were based on real in game time, yes darling there is red dragon right near us and half the party is dead and needs your res spells but we can talk sure, pick correct dialogue options, never remove companion from party or it breaks whole thing, kill Bodhi and get your sister soul back while level drained 10 levels, and then, only then, you maybe get a chance to create a 25 on 25 pixels item in your inventory which doesn't even look like me.

...kids this days.

 

[Fedora Master]

Big think

 

[Robber Baron]

So considering that both characters having sex can read and feel each others minds, do you think it gets weird when the charname sences how the girl he fucks feels his cock inside of her?

 

[vortex]

female = elf male
if you rearrange letters

This GOG review hits the nail on the head about this title :

I stopped playing halfway through the game. Don't get me wrong: Baldur's Gate is certainly a good game. However, it suffers from the same lacks in world building and setting as Divinity Original Sin 2. Instead of depicting certain races - Tieflings, Aasimar, Elves etc. - as rare, secluded and enigmatic, they are thrown at you in quick succession and shown as everyday occurrence. Right in the beginning of the game, for example, you meet an entire settlement of Tieflings - in the vicinity of Baldur's Gate - who are just another kind of staple Humans who happen to have Horns. This 'sloppy' kind of writing was already present in DOS 2. A whole lot of potential was going to waste for quick "show effects" - stong abilities, powerful races and monsters were thrown at you in the first act, obviously to catch the attention of the players. It would have been very easy to start more slowly. Maybe to have the protagonists happen upon a human fisher's village after crashing, which is under attack by goblins. And a secluded druids grove that doesn't want to help. And then, somewhere in the third or fourth act, you might have come across Tieflings. Going fast and flashy is not always the best.

The whole village of tiefling makes sense lore wise, since asmodeus rise to power everyone with a single drop of devil blood turned tiefling.Thats why they are refugee too and in a ghetto. Every time there's an edition change there's a cataclysm, time of trouble, spell plague and now the avernus events.GOg reviewer is yet another ignorant normie.

Makes good points gameplay wise. Both D:OS were frontloaded.

So its perfect for closeted faggot, again they their audience.
Swen is a godlike genius, just not when it comes to making RPGs.

 

[NJClaw]

Why the fuck is Laduguer a choice as a god when there is no duergar race option??
Why is Garl Glittergold an option IN A GAME WITH NO GNOMES?!

Yeah, why does this game in early access lack options? How is this possible?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

The max level is 4, and I was 3 at the time.
If you didn't notice she always prefers phasing onto the webs. Hit the webs with something(e.g., firebolt cantrip) to cause them to break, she falls to the ground taking a lot of damage. Hope that helps you git gud.

Hahah I fucking knew this supposed 'overpowered' monster was actually perfectly balanced, how embarrassing for the people who whined like little bitches about it.

Anyone having trouble with that fight is going to get slaughtered at the gith fight.

It was very wholesome.

As a reminder: remember that Pathfinder: Kingmaker has an elf that openly wants to cuck you from day one with a nigger (orc) and the two of them invite you for a threesome right off the bat.

You also can’t even get rid of them. They’re PERMANENT.

Compared to that, I killed the devil negro party member in BG3 and literally cut her head off and gave it to a party of ALL WHITE paladins.

There was an option to kill them both on a spot after releasing. Didn't do it tho because the game encouraging stacking companions for managing stuff. You mean it was impossible thing to do?

Gave up and reinstall BG3. All fine except one weird issue: no voice during cutscenes. Like, at all. Anyone had that? Google says nothing.

 

[Alienman]

Yeah, that said, this is to be expected with almost every games studio except the few with the balls to love the bad press like the Kingdom Come guy’s.

Hearing that story is what forever prevented me from trying Kingmaker.

You can tell them to fuck off when they bring it up. Besides they are just two twisted souls that have been locked up as slaves since forever, it's no wonder they are a bit weird in the head.

Are there any EA companions that don't look like they were designed by a circa 2007 hipster?

You pick on lvl 2 now. Not 100% sure why, maybe so that you can choose Githgirls fighting style since she joins at 1? Maybe they didn't want to lock her into a style for you.
Odd choice, but it doesn't break anything major. When you multi for fighter you usually multi 2 levels anyway, since action surge is goood.

I played the game, I will skip the technical problems we all know its fucking RAW, missing animations, missing customization ( I hope they fucking include the variant rules from 5E and the advanced customization because if they are going to use core 5E and nothing else this game is going to be a disaster)
My first thoughts is the introduction don't respect the terms of being a level 1 adventurer, all this shiny chaos happening around you not respecting the player almost treating me as a kid with ADHD, is it for the sake of feeding you with the information that you are "epic" for getting your face fucked by a mindflayer and that requires dire urgency to get solved?

The gameplay is ok actually, 5E system with some Larian shenanigans, its retarded fun to push people from ledges I know its retarded but nonetheless fun. Still have the old treatment of D20 systems how to improve you TO HIT bonuses in order to be successful. But sadly 5E have some heavy declines that is not taking into consideration positioning so sneak attack becomes some extra button to press and advantage and disadvantage bonuses you will have to rely on Larian combat designer subjective so who knows? I will end up being a fucking rainbow of optimism but maybe if we hammer the need of tactical combat and positioning we might get some neat in house rules for this game?

Companions, I will use DoS 2 as comparison, Fane, Ifan and Beast were ok, they had their own goals, some artificial drama sprinkled but passable. Red Prince was a stuck up noble kind, but that was expected from that character. Sybyll daddy issues I mean slave issues and Lohse being your waifu bard etc etc.
But hell why every companion in this game seems llike they are Red Prince but on Super Saiyan mode? Its like codex made a caricature of Larian companion writing and Larian said all right we are going to greenlight this.Dunno if its the face expression of the models or the voice tone, but they all talk like they are constantly sniffing their own farts and laughing about it ,they are insufferable cunts, enough for me to wish a mod or option to boot this game with then not existing at all, let me customize my henchmens at least they will be quiet and not giving retarded feedback.

Itemization has been discussed before, hope they drop the retarded MMO coloring, dont want the game UI telling to USE THIS ITEM BECAUSE IS ORANGE

So for one side I got joy from being D20 being translated into video games but there is lots of stuff that requires some rethinking, discarded and/or remade

 

[Shrimp]

They can't help it, bri ish voice actors are simply easier to get hold of for European game studios.

Don't worry the Larian fanboys think they will get a good game, so long as they buy into early access and give "feedback" lol.

Oh my god shoving dudes from heights basically hadoukens them across the map.
