That much is true, look at how many people even arrived to Arx in DOS 2.

95% positive reviews for a game retards can't even be bothered to finish.
Its stupid, but this goes for almost every long game, you'd have an easier time listing the rare ones with a decent completion rate. They'll play a few hours, decide they had their fun, drop it, then pre order the next one.

I know it's weird, but I have this issue where I'll get to the final dungeon or level, and then never bother to complete the game.

Hi.

BUT THEY HAVE NO NIGHT CYCLE!!!! :oops:

Thanks,
Sherry

Reminds me of this bullshit line from Todd Howard, followed by a round of applause and woo'ing.



Because it's not like you could play as a female in Fallout 1 or anything. Or Fallout 2. Or Fallout Tactics. BoS. Fallout 3. New Vegas.. wait, when couldn't you play as a female in a Fallout game?

Bethesda and Larian are basically Kin at this point with their insipid shit.

31% finishing the main quest is pretty good.

I'm amazed by how much content the game will have that was never in early access despite the game being there for years.
It's so weird that even basic shit like multiclassing, monks, or dragonborn were never tested in early access.

The number of fetishes I've found so far in Baldur's Gate 3.
  • Foot fetish
  • Bestiality
  • Mind Break
  • Submission
  • Cuckoldry
  • Polyamory
  • Yaoi/Fujoshi
  • Femdom
Fuck, Wrath of the Righteous looks like a fucking nunnery compared to this pride parade of a game.


Also anyone buying BG3 on EA is a cash piggy to Larian's findom, too.

Couple of interesting things mentioned in the one of the articles (might be a bit inaccurate due to the translation):
1. They mentioned baking in the hexblade features into pact of the blade which is fine to me because the hexblade patron for warlocks was a bad band-aid fix by wizards of the coast and frontloaded too much stuff at level 1.
2. They mentioned something about changing multiclassing and talked about how players are penalized for multiclassing two casting classing. This one I'm a bit iffy on - casters are already very strong in DnD and basically allowing everyone to be a mystic theurge innately seems bonkers.

Ha ha what if you got the game on EA like 4 years ago and forgot about it. That's not gay then right? I mean you could have just finished playing DoS2 and thought "Wow these guys might do a good job with BG3 I'll get the game on discount and forget about it"

If you did purchase the early access. Not that I did ha ha.

NO EXCUSE!

Did you not watch the very first gameplay reveal livestream where Swen was shooting explosive barrels and stacking boxes? On a sunny beach, no less, that looked remarkably identical to DOS1/DOS2.

That was moment the alarm bells in your head should have been going off in full swing. But you let your urge to consume a new product take control. And now it is too late for you.

I believe, based on Swen saying his favorite part of the game is the newest part, that they kept a lot of these core mechanics hidden or they changed them at the last month to make the release feel fresh. But that doesn't bode well for the lads.

I just crossed an italian preview/interview with the game designer where this absolute fool brags about their bold idea of removing any stat requirement for multiclassing.
If this was bad in itself, what followed was the dimwit bragging about how they "reworked the assignment of spells and spell slots" to not make these poor multiclassing underdogs lag behind the privileged single-class players that were unlocking high level spells faster.

I'm starting to thin these people couldn't design a competent subsystem (or even just a decent homebrew rule) even if their entire lives depended on it.
So no penalty in spell progression if you multiclass? Are they retarded?
Well I will do a fucking Sorcadin then, shit was already crazy good

I know already which gameplay mod should be done day 1. 5e grognard edition, where you remove all the Larian retarded shit and add whatever material is missing from the supplements.

5E and grognard does not mix, they're polar opposites.

Well Larian managed the impossible to defile a system made for retards. So the game would actually benefit from being returned to the vanilla ruleset.

Off the top of my head the most heinous shit should be:
  • Using consumables is a Bonus Action for everyone;
  • Shove is a Bonus Action for everyone and it's not Knock Prone / Push 5-foot but Push for a huge distance scaling with charachter Strength;
  • Wizards can learn divine spells from scrolls, including healing ones;
  • Characters can be healed from a distance via throwing potions near them (throwing directly at them causes blunt damage with the risk of killing dying allies); there isn't an option to "Heal Other" with a consumable like in Solasta;
  • Characters can freely swap equipped weapons without penalties; picking stuff from the ground was also completely free iirc.
To me each and any of these points would be much more worth cutting Larian devs' throats (in-game) rather than an optional joke scene.
Video game streamers and its consequences have been a disaster for gaming. I get the feeling that WotC probably binge watch thots playing video games on Twitch and told Larian; "Make a game that will get Twitch thots to play our games! Our sales will go through the roof if you do!" Everything about this game is just to appeal to the lowest common denominator of streamers. All streamers and their brain dead audience want is "LMAO! Quirky humor!" and "LOL! Quirky sex!" RPG elements and gameplay? What's that? I can't jerk off to Pokimane having her character have sex with a bear when the game is about RPG elements and gameplay!"

Players of all kinds undoubtedly want one thing in their games; the freedom of choice. This becomes an issue when the mainstream headcannon of millenials and zoomers is that freedom of choice just means who you can fuck and in which holes, thanks to almost 10 years of decadent brainwashing.

So it's no wonder Larian comes out with their RPG and decided that the best way to illustrate freedom of choice in their games is .. well, you get the idea.

This Nick might be a retard or the interviewer is. He talks about how Pact of the Blade lacked an extra attack. This is not true, you got it as a invocation at level 5. Perhaps this is marketing talk for imbeciles, but I don’t know. Not a good look. The multiclassing buffs are also senseless. It doesn’t need any buffs.
