She's actually a male orc with high disguise skill.

Nah, the worm in the head would know and would tell me if that was the case. Nah she's ready to receive my PC's Selune into her Shar.

The worm knows, that's why he's making you lust after Orcus. He thinks its very funny.
Worms have fucked up sense of humor.

Here is a positive video about BG3 and its features , its a little cringe at times but overall it should provide some reasons why BG3 is going to be epic

I encourage everyone to watch it, its only 29 minutes

Nah man, the worm wouldn't lie to me. It wants a wormette to make little baby worms with, in dark, Shar places.

fuck day/night cycle if it's not some proper horror thingy where real scary things stalk the night and you have to stay indoors anyway.
otherwise it's just some arbitrary dark shit to make it harder to notice loot containers.
and there is zero horror rpgs.

In most games with day/night cycles I've played, the real scary thing that stalks the night is the player character.

In Valheim, the really scary thing is when the sun hits the plains grass in a way that makes my eyes feel I'm watching directly at the sun IRL.

In my gross uneducatedness I didn't know that Divinity: Original Sin 2 was the best RPG ever made.
I'll praise Larian from now on as our Lords and Saviors!

I enjoyed D:OS, flawed as it was

I hated D:OS2

My controversial and highly polarizing expectation is to enjoy Baldur's Gate 3 more than either of them, but I would be surprised if it made it into my Top10. I expect to enjoy the gameplay and kitsch mind flayer D&D planar aberration stuff, hate the companions and be 'meh' on the story

As not being in the "it's completely unplayable shit" or "it's the saviour of RPGs"-camps is in clear violation of the BG3 Thread protocols, I will now erase myself from the Codex forever

Full stops exist for a reason Boerboy, use them.

I hated D:OS2

The attempt to balance burst damage via armor was unsuccessful.
The nerf to crafting was uncalled for.
The power gap between levels made gear temporary, unless you keep it for a skill.

These are the flaws I can think of, in all other ways D:OS2 improved. Granted, the armor thing is a major game mechanic that continues to annoy throughout the game.

Thats a serious endorsement of Larian but I generally never question peoples personal opinions on what they like, so I support your sentiment

When you stop referring to me as Boer I will consider it, as I have explained to you several times Im not a white Afrikaner. Im white English. Boers are Afrikaans famers

 

[ERYFKRAD]

white English

In Africa

 

[BruceVC]

Yes, thats correct. In Africa there are people who are ethnically white English. And we also have running water and the Internet

The item system competes as "Most Ass Itemization of Any RPG ever", but mainly, my problem is this:

D:OS is fundamentally a pretty shit game that has two major things going for it, namely the environmental mechanics and the encounter design of Act 1.

D:OS 2 fucks the first with a rusty shovel in an attempt to balance the game, which makes sense since combat in the first game was essentially reduced to environmental interactions at certain points. Unfortunately for D:OS2, the environmental effects basically constituted the sole, redeemable quality of the game's combat. Unsurprisingly, when you kill your one hit single, the rest of the album will never leave the shelf. When you then also fail to perform on the encounter design of your first game's first act, which all but saved it from complete uselessness, you're left with a dud.

Stories and characters in both games are useless to the point of not existing. Core gameplay and systems suck utter donkey-cock in both - my God, the character system. So when you say "in all other ways D:OS2 improved", I'm not sure what you're referring to. It's essentially the same shit game just with worse combat, less interesting encounter design and (somehow, impossibly) even worse itemization. I think I literally quit after replacing some epic purple omegadrop like 15 seconds and a level-up later with some random item.

Turns out the chaotic combat and varied encounters of the first act of D:OS did a lot of the heavy lifting.

Astarion got something in Baldurs Gate. Same Gale. Frog in in unavailable Githinki route. Wyll has cambion and I believe this girl can even replace him. Karlach will be connected with all this Avernus things.

...okay?

Will got, okay?

William is nobody's concern here.

I was wondering why the urge to genocide came over me while reading your posts.

Launching week before Starfield, ohboy.

 

[jf8350143]

They should either delay the game or launch a few weeks early.

No point going toe to toe with Starfield, arguably the most hyped game this year, if not the decade.

I hope it will not affect availability of shareware servers.
