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

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

Because they are wasting valuable time and resource on this shit, instead of good writing, quests and encounters?

You might argue that writers spending less time on romances could do more with the rest of the script, but if they're not technically competent enough to write a simple romance sub plot without causing people to die of second hand embarrassment, what makes you think they're competent enough to write anything else at a good enough level?

As for the rest, most companies are not flexible enough to repurpose resources on the fly, and dev studios are especially inflexible in that regard. Not including a romance won't make for better encounters, because you can't magically convert writer man hours into game designer man hours, unless you want to restructure your outfit multiple times over the course of a project.

do you really believe codex would discuss "good writing, quests and encounters"? how many people played kotc2 here? now BEAR GHEY SEGGS is serious business.
if colony ship really wants any chance to get codex goty they should start working on romanceable bears right now.

Another buck broken by the BBC (big bear cock)

 

[ADULF HITLOR FAN KLUB]

I once was lured by interesting discussions about combat mechanics and although they can still be found, I now have to wallow through insane amounts of crying about romance, sex and other fluff that people normally boast to 'don't care' about.

BG3 is (porn) movie game with a grand total of 174 hours of cutscenes, so all of that discussion is actually quite relevant.

 

[ArchAngel]

Why do you even care about all of these romancing options? I thought the Codex would be above all of that juvenile shit. I have zero interest in exploring these possibilities, so all of this outrage because there's apparently no interesting spouse to be found should have zero influence on your game. Take a breath, go outside.

Even if the option does occur during your game, just reject. I've got a feeling most of you are intimately familiar with this concept, so it should come easy.

I do not know what you are talking about here all the time, most of us here shit on this and probably only place on internet that does (at least one without censorship).

Dude, you're posting on the Codex. You gave up your right to lecture others on 'going outside' when you signed up and hit post reply

If you are looking at interesting combat mechanics you are in wrong topic, BG3 is not going to focus into combat.

Tell me more about this game that I have already played myself - BG3s combat is excellent. Is it the best in the turn-based market? Of course not. Are it's mechanics interesting enough to offer an excellent game for lovers of combat? Most definitely, even more so once 1.0 ships with Tactician mode.

Let me guess, you are one of those that voted for DO:S and DO:S2 in Codex Goty polls..

Looking at what they are producing on quests and encounters I don't think you have a lot to worry. Writing - although a step up from D:OS2 - was never Larian's specialty, so it's a question if you want less or more subpar writing.

And let's be honest, even if a game would have the best C&C, Writing, Quests and combat mechanics, most of the basement dwellers here would still go on a crusade

 

[Nerevar]

Will Battle cleric be available on BG3?

Also will I be able to have good stats in chargen? I reinstalled the beta and everything seems weak and there are no good classes.

 

[Silverfish]

offer you alternate ways of approaching whatever quest or problem you have in front of you.

2h sword or 2h axe?

Neither. If I have to fend off rapebears in this game, I'm going full-on ranged.

 

[Reinhardt]

btw i don't understand why hate on bears?
rapebears are bg staple. remember running away from one together with imoen after leaving candlekeep?

You've got BG1 and BG2 fans in here, that's why. Don't like it? Maybe Larian shouldn't have called their trash Baldur's Gate 3.

 

[Swen]

Larian also exposed """gaming journalism's""" double standards. They were crying for years about gamers lusting for beautiful women in games but are perfectly fine with this bear seggs scene.

We at Larian cater to everyone, since we make real rpg games. If you want to be a degenerate furry you can, if you want to fck beautiful elf girls you can. You can do anything, embrace the freedrom of choice you prudes.

This is why BG3 will from now on be a landmark in the RPG genre, it pushed the actual ROLE PLAYING to another level that no other rpg has done before.

Only a small month remains before I will officially be crowned the absolute king of rpg's.

True.

 

[AwesomeButton]

The main reason humans suck is lack of darkvision. Almost every race in the game gets darkvision, but not humans.

There are no nights in Baldur's Gate, so who cares.

When they later do Neverwinter Nights III, it will be completely done in night time.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Unless I misheard what they said just now, act 1 apparently has 33% more dialogue compared to the EA build because they've added additional reactivity to your class/race in various dialogues.
Seems pretty crazy to me considering how much reactivity it already seemed to have.

Not all that inconceivable considering that 90% of the reactivity is going to be in Act 1. This is a Larian game.

YEs, I like BG1 and BG2. This game should be called something other than BG3, but now it has that name.

No problem with bitching about BG3. I complain about games, too. The funny thing is that some people can't let it go. Nothing wrong with that either, I suppose. I just find it funny.

I hate what they did to Fallout with Fallout 3, for example, but at some point I don't find it worth complaining and move on.

Obviously codexers can’t resist and say no to a gay sex with a bear when they get the chance, so they pray that devs don’t tempt them in the first place.

Man this is just a start.. I guess you were not around to see topics for Pillars 1, F4 or Dragon Age 2 and 3?!

Just like there people will play or watch stream and shit on this game for weeks if not months.

It is what happens when people make shitty sequels.

If you want a place where you can just get along and share your love for bestiality or degeneracy while playing Bad Game 3 you will need to join Resetera or Reddit.

 

[Abu Antar]

I don't get offended. I find it funny.

 

[Drakortha]

Baldur's Gate 3 discussion will be dead after launch. All the fags will be too busy playing, and I will have moved on to the next piece of upcoming trash. There's too many trash games, too little time. I hope Larian is enjoying the attention they've gained by making revolting shit, but it won't last.
