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

[Delterius]

Allowing full body customization was a mistake. It's how you allow degenerate tranny shit to control and influence your RPGs.

we should also remove portraits and voice quips otherwise politics will start changing our games

 

[scytheavatar]

Booted BG3 just to see the current state of the game and I have this odd feeling that much hasn't changed? Like graphics ,movies and meaningless shit to impress consoomers doesnt matter for me, they didn't include much from the supplemental materials and the new class additions feels barebones, for example as paladins not being to choose a deity for their roleplay ?
Visually the character creation pretty much the same with the same template faces where you can dye your weird AI generated creature with funky colors this time. No other options like race variants or choosing equipment to at least give some flavor to your character background.
Game is releasing in august but I see too many skeletons and not much meat around me. Compared to DoS2 at least I felt they made their presentation pretty robust in terms of content and character creation.

Companions I just plan to eject them at the first possible chance and create a custom character even if I'm losing story content from, I think I never met a so unlikable line up of character in my life.

Paladins in 5e are supposed to swear to their oath and not to deities, though in the Forgotten Realms they are supposed to always have deities. WOTC has been extremely vague about this and has mostly let the DM do whatever they want with this issue, you can read about this here:

Did 5e rip off Pillars of Eternity?

Paladins of an ideal have been a thing since 2E.

 

[Maculo]

scytheavatar, did WotC explain why they removed deities from paladins? To differentiate further from clerics?

Edit: Never mind, apparently clerics follow domains. Strange that WotC put so much lore into gods just to drop it as a mechanic.

 

[Tao]

Lmao. You really need to ask?

 

[Maculo]

Lmao. You really need to ask?

Yeah, it really surprises me. I don’t follow DND or WotC that closely.

WotC stands for Woketards of the Cunts for a reason.

 

[Late Bloomer]

You don't have to follow much of anything closely to figure it out. They don't want to offend people. They want to be praised for being inclusive. Its the same as when they got rid of negative orc and kobol traits. Its the same as them dropping the word "race" and replacing it with "species". They want the most bland, unoffensive game system and world possible so that this made up group of diverse players can feel welcome.

Paladins are Oathkeepers now?

Fucking alt-right taking over everything.

No Gods no Masters

And no it's not anything close to about being inoffensive, it's about electing a new customer base.

 

[Sarkile]

I won't bother with Paladin until they implement Oath of Vengeance.

 

[Late Bloomer]

LOL!!! What a strange choice of words. You must be the new customer base.

It's from the poem The Solution Die Lösung by Berthold Brecht:

After the uprising of the 17th June	Nach dem Aufstand des 17. Juni
The Secretary of the Writers Union	Ließ der Sekretär des Schriftstellerverbands
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee	In der Stalinallee Flugblätter verteilen
Stating that the people	Auf denen zu lesen war, daß das Volk
Had forfeited the confidence of the government	Das Vertrauen der Regierung verscherzt habe
And could win it back only	Und es nur durch verdoppelte Arbeit
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier	zurückerobern könne. Wäre es da
In that case for the government	Nicht doch einfacher, die Regierung
To dissolve the people	Löste das Volk auf und
And elect another?	Wählte ein anderes?

 

[Maculo]

It’s hard to wrap my head around a company ditching its own fantasy gods of all flavors and mechanics, but I guess it tracks with the current insanity.

This is so different compared to ToEE where simply drinking alcohol could cause your paladin to fall.

 

[NecroLord]

This is so different compared to ToEE where simply drinking alcohol could cause your paladin to fall.

But going to the brothel in Nulb doesn't.

 

[Daedalos]

Why does reshade crash with vulkan?

Are u guys using direct x 11 or vulkan? why the fuck arent larian doing Direct x 12? gfucking larian

Anyway, reshade is best with x11 or what

Where a paladin sheathes his sword is none of your business

All those whores need to be redeemed, right?

He was just providing some lay on hands and cure disease while exercising his own immunity to disease.

 

[S.torch]

Did 5e rip off Pillars of Eternity?

No, both just happen to be made by people with the same stupid idea of morality or lack of it.

I mean, it’s really a shame all those charisma-based discounts are not properly utilized.

Nice.

Congrats on being their newly elected customer base then.

Last waltz I played with vulkan and it was pretty stable. Given they use as standard I fear Dx12 is an after thought in Larian mind
