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

[Yosharian]

Can you change the classes of companions when you meet them?

 

[Jermu]

probably not since some of em are pretty heavily tied to their story (shadowheart at least)
Minsc pure wizard

I think only their stats can be changed

 

[Zayne]

So, theoretically, you can make origin characters into any class, you just have to sacrifice one level?

 

[Jermu]

seems like it
also Jaheira had druid/sorc levels in stream thats.. interesting

 

[Volrath]

I'm going to play the shit out of this game. And you fuckers can't stop me.

Changing the (starting) class wouldn't make much sense, but I wonder if the subclass will be customizable.
For instance being able to make Shadowheart something other than a Trickery cleric.

Buy a CRPG sequel to BG3, get a zoophilia game with tranny pronouns.

Truly, Early Access is pain.

What are you complaining about, they let you buttfuck Russians, you should be happy

Spoiler

what do you think The Bear represents

ncr?

 

[Cyberarmy]

My go to character vanilla dwarven warrior or paladin seems like a really good choice now. Rivers will run red with the blood of degenerates.

 

[Swen]

Ah yes the bear (buck) broke the interwebz I see. Mission accomplished.

And everyone should be happy with my game; the woke degenerate furries and of course all of you codex coomers.

I think it's safe to say I got GOTY in the bag.

Sure, we could not stop SDG playing the shit out of other crap like D4..

 

[Larianshill]

You're being humble.

 

[ArchAngel]

Luckily Rogue Trader exists, I can always go back to BG2

 

[Modron]

Unless something truly amazing comes out of nowhere or some earlier than expected releases in the next couple months, I think it's fairly safe to say that Colony Ship will win codex's RPGotY.

 

[Reinhardt]

i wonder how far in the game is option to hire mercs and how much it will cost.

You don't think Gay Bear Sex Simulator 3 stands a chance?

 

[Yosharian]

oh god, THAT'S what they revealed? Jesus christ Larian

To be fair the final third of the stream where they showcased some of the new areas, general reactivity as well as the different ways you can approach quests, taking down what I assume is an optional boss encounter without entering combat etc. was pretty sick
The absurdity and unexpectedness of the Halsin scene they showed mindbroke so many people that the game probably is going to have even more of a presence on the usual RPG discussion platforms than if they had only showed gameplay. I can't really tell if starting out with this was an actual calculated stunt (especially considering Sven was bumblingly muttering they didn't know what to actually show so they just picked 'a bit of everything') or just them wanting to showcase something to the Bioware demographic. Any PR is good PR I suppose.

 

[Infinitron]

I think there was an intentional effort to show sex and violence in yesterday's stream. Very oldschool marketing approach really.

 

[scytheavatar]

Why is everyone freaking out about sex with bears in this game when you already got raped over and over again by bears in Elden Ring?

 

[ArchAngel]

Unless something truly amazing comes out of nowhere or some earlier than expected releases in the next couple months, I think it's fairly safe to say that Colony Ship will win codex's RPGotY.

Ha? Is anyone even playing that? Is that released even?

So old school that at start of stream I was thinking of buying it and now I am hating it completely and went back to playing BG1 to feel better.
And I was their target audience as someone that loved BG but hated DOS games. They already sold it to all DOS fans, they need to get the others

 

[jaekl]

Don't let them divert your focus with this stupid ass bear so they can trap you with "it's a joke". The scene was cringe as fuck before there was any bear on screen. The whole aesthetic is off-putting, it looks like something you'd see a bunch of dorky chicks gleefully watching on a wine-soaked girls night. It also seems to have the pathfinder problem where every companion is a lame ass clown so you have to make your own party, meaning it's up to you to write characters that the professionals should have. Of course if the companions are this bad, you're going to hate everyone else too so better hope the combat is *OUTSTANDING* because you'll be doing a lot of it as your annoyance with the realm of queers and fairies grows.

Believe me, they *have* the others.
