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

[Vic]

I enjoyed watching a couple of SDGs videos, they have a nice relaxing vibe to them, didn't watch any D4 videos tho

Just realized that Larian can now claim that this game was released as a PC-exclusive, just like the Divinity: Original Sin games. Codex credibility maintained!

SONY - Maintaining Codex credibility since 2023.

For the people who played the EA what is the tone of the game like? Is it as light hearted and faggoty as Divinity Original Sin 2? It looked a bit light hearted but I think even just a bit of a darker tone would be a huge plus.

I don't know what you people mean by light-hearted anymore but the tone is grimmer AD&D.
It has literally nothing to do with Original Sin besides being isometric 3d.

BG3's tone is grim and faggoty, YMMV.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

Whatever. BG3 is already more entertaining than any of those yawn inducing obsidian games

I'm not particularly invested with the current companions to begin with, but I have no idea who the hell at Larian thought that swapping from this character model

...to this one...

...was anywhere close to an improvement.

It goes to confirm that someone in that studio has bad taste pretty much across the board.

They turned her from an angry sidecut chick into a succubus waifu.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

...The sidecut is exactly the same, it's just a camera angle swap.
I'm talking about her facial structure.

Somebody call up the Paladins, there's some fiendish ass to smite.

What amount of sucking would you like to experience?

But she's still ugly!

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

[But she's still ugly!

She is. And the character model isn't particularly good in movement either.

The first looks like a distinctive character, the second is generic-stiff-NPC-face.

 

[Larianshill]

so whats the difference between monk subclasses

I can't speak for BG3, because Larian flat out said they'll homebrew the shit out of monk. I'll speak of how the subclasses are in the tabletop.

Open Hand is the "default" DnD monk. He punches people really good, and he can punch people across the room or knock them down on the ground. His capstone is the exploding heart technique.
Shadow monk is the ninja. He is edgy, he can become invisible in the darkness and teleport through shadows. He is really good at disabling spellcasters, because he can cast Darkness and Silence with Ki.
Four elements monk is Avatar: the Last Airbender. Except he sucks, and your elemental abilities are way too expensive for what they do.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

What's up with mongoloids posting reactions to the pictures rather than speaking their minds clearly?

...I'm not sure the Codexers who complain about ugly women in videogames are going to agree with you about this!

Also, haircut aside (which is the exact same, as I already pointed), a lot of Codexers saying some of the most retarded stuff isn't exactly earth-shattering news.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Admirable graphics. I hope it's fun to play.

Average Codexer upon learning the manly "chick" they planned to romance now looks less like a dude.


Though I'm forced to agree somewhat, the bottom picture looks like something out of a "more beautiful X" mod pack. Oh well...

I've steadfastly avoided most info about the game since early shots and the cinematic focus (as well as the overall aesthetic) were giving me a distinct DAI vibe, which was certainly offputting. We''ll see if Larian has managed to make something decent soon I suppose.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

I wasn’t actually “planning to romance” anyone, you fucking sad and desperate wankers.

I’m just saying that the new “more feminine model” looks like some half-assed shit from a low tier asset farm and not a good fit for what the character is supposed to be.

 

[Kiste]

I, for one, am fully in favour of the "succubus waifu" rework.

 

[Tyranicon]

Can I immediately attack fiends and fiend-adjacents in-game?

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

Repeat after me.

Rpg. Of. The. Decade.
