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

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Will this be good?

It will probably be a decent RPG, but I think they've already dumbed it down due to fan complaints.

The only positive change I've seen is them lessening their reliance on environmental effects in combat, which was a holdover from DOS design. Graphically, they've ruined the color scheme, the animations are janky and they rewrote the starting characters to make them more likeable even though it stretches the credulity of their characters.

The core design of the initial EA build was extremely solid, but not having seen anything after the first act, I don't know how the rest of the game will be. I can only assume similar negative changes have been made, and I don't care about Minsc or Jaheria and wish they weren't in the game.

Also, due solely to their capitulation to trannyism on pronouns, I do not recommend purchasing it.

Shocking.

>Very accessible combat and RPG system

Yes, Wizards wanted it done using 5e. Did you really expect them to use the 2e ruleset?

>Porno simulator

Nudity?! In a vidya gaem?! Oh no!

>It is the umpteenth game set on the Sword Coast

Baldur's Gate is set on the Sword Coast?!! Madness!

Compare our two posts and you'll understand why I still defend the game despite not recommending it.

These aren't valid criticisms.

is it unrecommended because the gameplay and mechanics suck or

due solely to their capitulation to trannyism on pronouns, I do not recommend purchasing it.

a few words trigger you?

since idgaf and not some storyfag, does the combat suck or not?

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

I don't like trannyism or support products that openly condone it.

For me, it's the equivalent of pedophilia, since the ideology specifically targets children now.

Depends on whether you like 5e or not. If you do, you'll probably like it. If you don't, you'll hate it.

From a non-D&D perspective: it's reasonably fun and better than DOS.

let's investigate all the churches at the same time since that's a nest far larger with much more power than a few mentally deranged people lopping hunks of flesh off themselves, but nobody likes to talk about that since that's what those same folks running those churches want.

DOS2 was fun when you played to break it, like that telepath trunk thrower, that was stupid fun able to throw a six ton chest at a boss and instantly kill it.

Nice whataboutism.

Why not get rid of trannyism and investigate other pedos? Can we not do both? Why is your response to someone harming children to point the finger at someone else?

Since trannies have the backing of the state, the private sector and even some churches, I would say they're the greater threat. But I fail to see how me not telling people to buy a video game elicited this comparison.

I haven't seen anything like this in the game. Initially, there were these barrels that could explode and someone uploaded a vid of gathering a bunch of them for a 'boss fight'. IIRC, Larian already reduced the number of barrels though.

You can have tactical in real time as well but that fact never enters the codex simple minds.

Just look at how the camera jumps from one node to the next: it makes me vomit. Neverwinter Nights has better production values than BG3!



Dont know why I am complaining. This game is targeted for 12 year olds and they will love it.

Jesus fucking Christ wept, this gets worse with every new vid that I see of it.

Does anyone here who has played the EA version thoroughly can make a statement how BG3's story is going to shape up? Are the themes mature and thoughtful, or is it all just another fantasy theme park? Can it measure up to BG2's Chapter 2, or least have a sense that it might?

I don't know if it can really be compared to BG2. BG2 had a lot of concepts underpinning it that weren't spelled out to the player explicitly. This is, frankly, a style of writing you just don't see often anymore. Especially not in games.

It's extremely reactive and the characters and their motives are, for the most part, believable. The dialog is decently written and the themes are 'mature', in that there is sex, violence and death, but I can't say I think any of the writers has a PHD.

It's fairly straightforward often times. I don't think there's anything of philosophy or nuance in this that isn't going to be explained at some point during the game. The best you get are temporary mysteries. E.g., what are the mindflayer worms in your head really? Who is Shadowheart? What is the person in your dreams? Who is 'The Absolute'?

If you watch the latest trailer on one of the bad guys, he basically just dumps his backstory in a cutscene. Did Irenicus do this? No. From the very beginning, he was a puzzle to be solved. And if you didn't pay attention along the way, you probably wouldn't even get who he was other than 'some elf who wanted revenge'.

I'd call BG3 a fantasy theme park, but an enjoyable and unique one, with some mysteries and cool things to do. But still a theme park.

I haven't seen anything like this in the game.

also, because i find the reasoning you gave, not recommending a game over a few pronouns, an invalid reasoning for rejection. i base it on gameplay.

>2 years ago
Nice video, but like I said, I've never seen it in my gameplay. So either they fixed it or I never tried it.

But showing a guy famous for exploiting games exploiting a game 2 years ago isn't really impressive. I already mentioned another exploit that existed back then that was corrected (or they say was corrected, since I never tried it before or after).

It's not about the pronouns, it's about the ideology, but you do you.

 

[vitellus]

I never tried it before or after

but i have you fucking chimp. it works. it's fun. i linked the video since it give you literally the explanation and example, i tell you i did it, and you apparently didn't read it.

I would say they're the greater threat

dance to the rich man's tune and go die in their wars. they're distracting you and getting you to focus on that so you don't see the thousand or so ultra wealthy looting the world for personal profit and turning us to more stupid wars, but yeah, 'the greater threat' is mentally damaged body loppers not the dude's making themselves into godkings buying up all the politicians. our taxes are being dumped into weapons and being given to corporations, but yeah, dude, you do you i'll just raise my kid correctly and hope that the thousand defacto rulers of the planet haven't turned this place into a prison because so-called 'conservatives' became obsessed with trannies.

I'm talking about BG3, nigger. I really don't care what's in DOS2. I'm saying nothing like what you're saying is in DOS2 is in BG3.

dance to the rich man's tune and go die in their wars. they're distracting you and getting you to focus on that so you don't see the thousand or so ultra wealthy looting the world for personal profit and turning us to more stupid wars, but yeah, 'the greater threat' is mentally damaged body loppers not the dude's making themselves into godkings buying up all the politicians. our taxes are being dumped into weapons and being given to corporations, but yeah, dude, you do you i'll just raise my kid correctly and hope that the thousand defacto rulers of the planet haven't turned this place into a prison because so-called 'conservatives' became obsessed with trannies.

A lot of rich people seem to like promoting trannyism, so I think it's you dancing to their tune by ignoring it. And gain, I don't see how me telling people to hold on to their money is helping these rich people, or the church, or the next whataboutism you'll point your finger at to excuse the abuse of children.

 

[vitellus]

I'm talking about BG3, nigger.

then maybe you should use words right and say "In BG3..." before you say

>2 years ago
Nice video, but like I said, I've never seen it in my gameplay. So either they fixed it or I never tried it.

because you're talking about a video about fucking DOS2.

keep obsessing over trannies homie, i'm just gonna assume you watch tranny porn and feel guilty about it as this is pretty much how humans work, shame and all that.

I agree, I dont make any purchasing decision for games on pronouns. Its about the mechanics, feedback and history of the development studio

Pfft those would neither help nor hinder your purchasing decisions either, Boerboy.

To be honest, it's a different time when BG2 came out, the internet was in its infancy.

You don't even know you're in the BG3 thread, do you? Sad.

You only assume that because that's what you do. And while I think that's disgusting, I don't really care about it. I care about protecting kids from trannies that want to molest and mutilate them.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

More like it's because the target audience for BG2 was a white guy who read the manual, not some pink-haired degenerate who watches tranny porn and is just looking for a quick dopamine fix.

the vitriol in your statement only fuels the certainty of your shame. psychology is pretty neat. you claim to not care about it yet this whole arguement started because you stated that the game shouldn't be purchased because of tranny pronouns. to bring up so casually shows the extent that you think of it.

Is this real or a meme joke?

Cernd and Kivan faggots? Doesn't even make sense, both were married to wymmin(Cernd had a kid even).
