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

[just]

I couldn't care less about the woke stuff. There's no day / night cycles, that's why I'll never buy BG3.

Menstrual cycles coming with patch 10.0. Your pansexual half-orc can leave a trail of blood that will debuff any creature in the vicinity for -2 CHA.

How does menstruation work without a functioning moon cycle ?

you open the wound

 

[Reinhardt]

excellent experience

 

[Reinhardt]

Missing out on an otherwise great experience, because 0.001 % of the content somehow pisses you off

if you add spoon of shit to the bucket of mead final result is bucket of shit. and bg3 is not even mead in the first place.

 

[Grunker]

ok the implementation of the oathbreaker paladin sounds kind of cool tbh. if they do more class implementations like that, playing the game blind could potentially be interesting

very rusty_shackleford way to do it. i can see why he would shill for the game if that is the approach it uses for roleplaying

Look here cuckboys, character creation in Patch 9:



Nobody forcing you to be a tranny in my game!

Let's consider all the woke tropes present in the video
1. Women warriors
2. Women with STR scores comparable to men
3. Bald women
4. Way too much bloom

 

[Johnny Biggums]

What's with these wild bluffs about the full game not having any trannies? Of fucking course it will.

nigger, you missed most obvious and worst offender - she's not wearing chainmail bikini, like proper barbarian wommyn.

bg2 already was woke shit - they replaced wommyn warrior leotard from first game with dress.

At least the choices are "Male" and "Female" as opposed to "Body Type 1" and "Body Type 2."
Silver lining I guess.

Bold is the most egregious. Bloom is absolute shit.

 

[NecroLord]

If a woman is a warrior, she'd better be clad in chainmail bikini.

Hell even if she's not.

It won't last till release date, I bet.

It's as if "modern" audiences and writers don't understand the point of barbarians or just armour in fantasy settings in general.
Yes, they wear little armour, that's the bloody point. They're either so backward, so cocky, so skilled, so hopped up on drugs, have some mystical shit or all of the above that armour is just unnecessary or unappealing to them.
The point of armour is to stop you from dying if you get hit. If you have other means of damage mitigation then you don't need armour. Simple as.
Armour is important in reality because we don't really have other ways of damage mitigation. The same could not be said of a fictional setting.

But no, everyone needs to be in a burlap sack because of "muh male gayze" or "reelizm."
Then if you criticize shit like combat wheelchairs in the setting they'll go "but it'z fantazy tho"

Having played the game with the patch on, I very much enjoyed the new reaction system, and I love how the paladin class was implemented. I do hope, however, that rogue's sneak attack will follow the same principle, and that classes like Fighter won't get left behind in optional content. Paladin has a whole secret subclass and an NPC devoted to tracking his morality, bard has 150+ different insults and 630 different instruments he can play, but Fighter has no real stuff that only Fighter can do.

 

[Cryomancer]

At least the choices are "Male" and "Female" as opposed to "Body Type 1" and "Body Type 2."

Yep. At least this, Blizzard wokefied even classic wow. And not only with body type 1/2, Enslave demon is now Subjugate demon for eg.

but Fighter has no real stuff that only Fighter can do.

Anything from 4E fighters that you would bring into this 5E game?

nigger, you missed most obvious and worst offender - she's not wearing chainmail bikini, like proper barbarian wommyn.

That feeling when you are old enough to remember when chain bikini was the terrible design that all nerds railed against, only to no see it be the holy grail all "nerds" want back.
Its like watching people be nostalgic for Halo.

 

[Dadd]

To promote gender equality, neither male nor female barbarians should wear anything above the waist.

Right on, brother.
Barbarians are lightly armored(if armored at all) for a reason.
A true barbarian berserker focuses on killing power.
Why worry about being injured when everything around you is dead, in pools of blood?

Crotch protection is for the weak. A true barbarian exposes all potential weak-points to assert dominance.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

people who slurped up elden ring's body type A & B shouldn't be throwing stones

True, but I'm pretty sure that was also criticized.

being offended by identity politics in games in 2022..

lol. where the hell have u guys been these past 5 years.

it aint going away folks, might as well get used to it, however much it grinds yours and my gears.

I'm not going to finance blatant wokeism, thanks for your input though.

Missing out on an otherwise great experience, because 1 % of the content somehow pisses you off and can be wholly ignored..

Yeah okay buddy.

would you buy the game if it required you to make a character that supports donald trump?

Such a rhetorical question is honestly out of place, because it seems to imply a context where developers normally choose between pandering to a political side or the other.
(in such a context, a developer should still perhaps choose to remain apolitical, to avoid alienating one half of the audience with either pick, but this is another matter)

Now, the actual context in our reality isn't remotely like that, I shouldn't even have to point that out.
There's only pandering to the extreme left and nothing else.
A few developers just try "not to anger" the woke mob, others go all the way to try and show how deep they can bow to the hive, how many woke code-words they can use in a single video, how thoroughly they can lick woke journo asses, and so on.

Well, it's now obvious which kind is Larian.
The silver lining is, I'm going to save money.

Anything from 4E fighters that you would bring into this 5E game?I have heard that Martials have some cool stuff.

Why bother with 4E? Here's some cool shit. And more. I love this guy's brew, he made every martial interesting.

I'm not really talking about combat abilities right now, however, I'm talking about cool stuff you can do in dialogue and side content. Like I mentioned - paladin has to actually follow his oath and repent (expensively) if he sins. That's cool. The paladin can also break his oath entirely and become a blackguard. That's also cool. There is at least one time in the EA where you can resolve a social conflict purely through your reputation as a paladin, because people just assume that since you're a knight of justice, whatever your judgement is, it's the right one. Barbarian also has features like it - instead of doing a little sidequest to open Shadowheart's prison, you can just break the cage with your retard strength.

Fighter right now doesn't really have anything like it, and he should. Maybe when the hag kidnaps that girl and puts her in a cage over a raging river, maybe they could give you an option to leap into the air and knock the cage onto the ground. Or maybe when the grove's people are preparing for the goblin attack, you could train them Seven Samurai style, making them better in the coming battle. If fighter's sole schtick is being a guy who fights really good, he should be allowed to use his strength and training in dialogue too. Otherwise he's paladin/barbarian, but with less content.

Maybe warriors could have something about binding a weapon, giving it a name, depending on what deeds you do you could give it abilities?
Or just skip the middle man, and warriors could get some minor abilities or alternative animations or so on depending on how they complete certain quests (feats of strength).
