Actually I talked about it before, but only Lae'zel and maybe Shadowheart make sense as level 1 characters.

Wyll - old version was a renowned hero who apparently defeated all kinds of menaces by himself. We'll see what new and improved Wyll is about.
Gale - has a True Resurrection scroll just lying around, and a netherese orb in his chest. I would also list him fucking Mystra, but Mystra is a whore who will fuck anything, so that's not actually much of an achievement.
Astarion - is a vampire spawn, and thus should be able to solo the entire plot of the early access.
Lae'zel - rookie space pirate, who explicitly has no achievements under her belt and covers up her lack of skill and knowledge with attitude.

I assumed he is lying about that stuff? My understanding was that his character is someone who wants to be a renowned hero defeating all kinds of menaces by himself, and he made a deal with a demon to make that happen, but it hasn't actually happened yet. So he's just boasting. Faust in the making.

Larian is the new Bioware, only 10 times worse.

A furry's dream studio. :lol:

That is what I thought as well, but I believe the bard PC explicitly recognizes him.

Remaking Wyll was honestly a genius idea, kudos to Larian for that. He was by far the least convincing and interesting character, and in every poll I've seen he has consistently taken the last place both when it comes to loved and hated characters. For someone so supposedly loud and in your face, he somehow managed to elicit zero emotion. Hopefully they make him actually good.

Why is everyone still so ugly is my main question.
Mods will fix it.

Ok now regarding the Belgian cringe etc, I won't engage because that's fucking low quality. But let them do whatever its not like I'm forced to get pegged by a bear or anything.
On last resort you can make your Billions Must die character and murder everyone. I will give to them that they are letting the player do the most unhinged stuff possible in game.

Just woke up and watched the launch trailer…this confirms my theory that despite BG2 being beloved its introduction of romanceable NPCs destroyed the CRPG genre.

Clown world confirmed when a developer thinks the best way to sell a game is to show inter-racial gay sex off. Is there really an audience out there for this that will be profitable?

Strap Yourselves In Pathfinder: Wrath
Looks like I turned off the stream at just the right time. I am not sure I want to go back and finish it, knowing what is going to appear.

I am glad to hear Larian is rewriting Wyll. He has the least compelling introduction imo.

Still wish they added hexblade, but there are mods.

Unlike most people here, I actually like romances in RPG as long as you can choose if you want to romance someone and who you romance.

But even I can't take what Larian is doing here. It's not the gay beastiality makes me mad, it's their god awful writing. If done right romance can help the player know a character better and get attached to them, but all Larian care about is "look isni't it funny a druid turns into a bear during sex?". The dialogue they show is just god damn afwul, there is no redeeming quality here.

Larian has always been focusing too much on the funny and edgy stuff in their game, I always thought they would tone it done a little bit but looks like they just go fuck you and cranck it up to 11.

Gargaune you know what? It was dawning on me that despise their irrational attachment to the toilet chain Larian probably hate these controls as well.

There's no public demonstration they made where they don't systematically ditch the party and try to do some convoluted shit with a single character, because in the end they know at an instinctive level that manoeuvring around with a full group feels like garbage.

I wonder why dont they fix it, do they hate themselves and everyone?

It requires too much work, they have more important things to do, like motion capture a vampire fucking a bear.

Hey Tuco should post that in the Larian thread: "Hey you fucks not even you guys like this piece of shit of chained party why don't you fix this? Who is holding you guys hostage?"
