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

[Russia is over. The end.]

They can't even make a stream that works, how did they ever hope to make a good game?

 

[Swen]

It's streaming issues, not a bad build. It's 60 fps.

Infinitron just posted something passive-aggressively negative about the game, then deleted 5 seconds later.

"Shit I can't say this, I'm on their dime here. Deleting..."

I deleted it because I remembered that Swen said the game was running fine and only the stream had low FPS.

Wyll was completely rewritten. Probably a good idea, he is the least interesting character in the game so far.

Hope they take the whole "I need to eat your magical equipment or else!" bullshit out.

 

[Larianshill]

You're thinking Gale. Wyll is the forgettable black guy with a hero complex.

 

[Shrimp]

They really picked the audience member with the absolutely worst question for the AMA huh

 

[Larianshill]

Everything is p-p-political, even if gamers don't like that

Shut the fuck up, you ugly stereotype. Actually good answer by the team, didn't indulge her even a little bit.

Stream is live, gentlemen.

When you respec you can change your class as well? Did I hear that right?

Since multiclass is in the game it only make sense to be able to change the class.

If you're going to transition between genders, what's a little class change anyway?

Lol that has to be the most telling advertising trailer I've ever seen.

"Yeah this is a low budget porno game. D&D? Baldur's Gate? What's that, C'MON STICK A DICK UP YOUR ASS."

I'm actually baffled. Even if this is your type of game, it's surreal to try and sell an "epic RPG" by just showing a bunch of people you don't know kissing.

 

[Infinitron]

"You must gather your party before venturing forth" as the "catchphrase" of Baldur's Gate is an interesting take.

 

[jf8350143]

Right, guess I have to kick Gale out again.

this romance trailer is pretty bad, they didn't even showed the male dwarf kissing the male elf in the mouth. I want my money back (kidding, I didn't bought it...yet)

"You must gather your party before venturing forth" as the "catchphrase" of Baldur's Gate is an interesting take.

It's the de facto catchphrase of the series due to the brilliant pathfinding you can experience while playing the IE games.

You know, the trailer is just for marketing. Of course, in the first place, they will show those elements that will cause more sales.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

If you think this is degenerate, wait until you meet the kind of people who play Vampire.

 

[jf8350143]

Have they talked about more companions? Or it's only 3 of them and that's it?

With the addition of Karlach, our number of Origin characters now rises to six. She will join Astarion, Gale, Shadowheart, Lae’zel, and Wyll like a well-meaning, devil-fighting bat out of hell, rounding out the moral spectrum of playable characters from good to bad, and the shades of grey between. But she won't be our final Origin - you'll have to tune in to next week’s Panel From Hell: Release Showcase for that.

Along with your Origins, you can also expect to find four Companion characters who can join you on your journey: Halsin, Jaheira, Minsc, and Minthara. While we initially planned to lock players in with a core crew of companions past Act I, we nixed that plan in favour of a buffet-approach to team selection. You’ll be able to mix and match any of these characters into your group throughout. And, yes, you’ll be able to romance almost all of them (ask us sometime about that Halsin scene).

Yeah my angle though is I don't think it will. I think it's just inept. How many people actually are the Biowhore crowd? As we learned from Bioware's fall from grace when even they couldn't stand the "fanbase" they had cultivated, it isn't that many. They are just very vocal and terminally online.

Trying to reel in the Bioware $$$.

In many aspects, the Bioware crowd are more or less the average rpg audience. Both Obsidian and Larian have tried to cater to them in different ways. Still trying to ape DA:O and its impact among the general public I'd say.
