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

Interesting that the dark urge is the only origin character you can't recruit as a companion. Also he's completely customizable, including class, which none of the other origin characters are.

Pretty big incentive to play as an evil murder lizard. Wonder what his backstory is, maybe related to the god of murder? Considering it's propensity to kill and eat everything.

Alright, just some 24 days left. It's gonna be a tough month, but the game of the century is close.

I have a feeling that he/she was the original main character before they retooled the whole game to include other companions as playable characters.

He's not even a "lizard", You can play it with any race, sex, class.
Basically he's not even a "character" per se, but some sort of "super-charged" tag that you can pick and apply to any custom character.

If you have early access I think you can start playing the full game 3 days early.

July 31st.

 

[Orud]

Sven said you can play a party of all custom characters?!

 

[La vie sexuelle]

Heh. No sexes, but yuu can fuck bear.

Greewood is proud.

Yes, this is why I said 24 days. Otherwise it would be 27 days.

No questions about Custom Tav I have were answered on this panel. It's pretty clear that Dark Urge will have some unique content. But what about Custom Character? We take Shadowheart, and we take a custom half-elf female cleric of Shar. Will the custom character be able to experience any content that Shadowheart wouldn't?

Dragonborn looks so cool.

 

[ChildInTime]

Dragonborn looks so cool.

Sup, just dreamin' bout murder and stuff.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Dragonborn looks so cool.

Yeah the character design is pretty cool, especially if you chose to customize it with a tail. Looks very much like a bipedal dragon.

Yes, I think. Larian have a lot of resources, they could do something like that.

Too bad females don't have those hips from DOS2 lizards.

Furfaggots should be purged.

 

[Child of Malkav]

And the spider guy...disgusting as all hell. Wtf, the designs in this game are out of this world.....

except this one

 

[Shrimp]

I'm still not entirely sure what class I want to roll with as my PC

I was hoping today's stream would help me make a choice once I saw what the new and secret companion was, so I could pick something based on the companions I'd be interested in. But seeing as The Dark Urge appears to be a stand-in for a murder hobo PC that cannot be recruited I still haven't been able to decide.
Only thing I know for sure is I'll be recruiting Shadowheart since the device she's carrying around seems fairly important. Since the game somewhat railroads you into running into her immediately after the tutorial section on the ship I imagine Larian also really wants you to recruit her, so I want to see what her deal is.

 

[Ibn Sina]

They confirmed warlock patron interactions! So cool! I wonder about Great old one warlock!

 

[FreeKaner]

This game looks very good, which is really a surprise after DIVOS2.

As someone who belongs to a race whose origin stories include not one but two different tales of wolf impregnation I cannot make judgment on the gay bear sex.

 

[Child of Malkav]

MerchantKing Furfag? I said they look cool, dragon head, armor and all that. Stop projecting.

 

[La vie sexuelle]

Chicks are weird. They fantasies are especially twisted.

Dragonborn looks so cool.

Furfaggots should be purged.

Scalies*

BTW. What with females? They have tits?

 

[Ibn Sina]

The amount of reactivity based on class, race is unprecedented in any RPG the only RPG that comes close that comes to mind is Arcanum.
