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

But only if you do the stupidest path in act 1 by siding with the goblins.

She's an evil bitch drow who wants to dominate you. Yes, in that way. Are you seriously fucking surprised that she wants to kill druids?

No, I'm surprised that they think anyone will go down the goblin path aside from people playing their donut steel murderhobo insert. It's weird gating a fully fledged party member down a path almost no one will take.

I'm assuming that there's not some alternate way to get her of course.

 

[Yosharian]

let's talk about Monks. I'm pretty sure people know by now I like the class

Don't drow regularly do evil deeds by using lesser races, like, I dunno, goblins, to do their dirty work?

Just doesn't seem out of place to me

so according to fextralife monk weapon is any weapon you have proficiency with
=> with single level dip you can do dex to damage/attack rolls with any weapon even heavy ones

They... they resurrected the single level Monk dip...

 

[The_Mask]

Monk, the most popular class: confirmed.

Monk, the most popular dipped class: confirmed.

Fixed for you.

Shame it doesnt turn the weapons into finesse or we would have rogues doing two handed weapon sneak attacks

Are you ready for the rpg of the millenium?

 

[ADULF HITLOR FAN KLUB]

Like I said 10 million for BG3 is a very low estimate. Wouldn't be surprised if BG3 in its early access almost hit that target.

Wat. 10 million copies? In early access? More like 2 million to 3 million tops.

I do hope that the real Swen pays you very well for your untiring and relentless shilling. There is no denying that you are very good at what you do.

We are transitioning into an era where new possibilities are being discovered in tech. First you had to physically buy a game. Now, you can just buy it metaphorically through Steam. Tomorrow, if you thought even once about a game, you've already bought it. The future is now, old man.

I think Swen may be right because the first Baldur gate games established a legend for 2 decades which include generations of players.
No doubt that the name "Baldur's Gate" will almost guarantee a MEGA hit on par with Skyrim.

What's interesting is what comes after, will people love it and think it's a worthy Baldur's gate? or a cringe pale copy of it?

The game's been out for two years in early access and people already love it. It's only up from here. It will raise Larian's credit with the world, but also Wizards', and that's the ugly part.

For a early access, it's extraordinary.
"Baldur's Gate" is a golden goose.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Yep. Helps to have a hungry core fanbase that doesn't actively hate the game.

I wonder if that's why they held stuff like the pronoun crap or the tranny(?) demon until this year?

It's a similar concept to Kickstarter: have a core base that's excited for the game and use that to spread hype and keep people talking about it instead of starting from square one and depending on media outreach.

Could be a big game, provided it doesn't have a Cyberpunk-style buggy launch. I would think that EA buyers are only a fraction of the market.

 

[Takamori]

Pronoun stuff, body type etc its a marketing decision. Adding this feature how much it will cost? Adding this feature will increment my market reach? Yes? Do it

Like if adding one blackface character awarded you with more money, you bet every game now would have a blackface character.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Yeah, but I'm saying they delayed it until this year why? If it's such an easy thing to add, and it's a no-brainer marketing decision, why not add it earlier?

Because they know the core fanbase of the old games was their target audience for the EA, and they aren't zoomer faggots ftmp. Whereas the broader audience of Critical Role-watching zoomer faggots who will respond to trannyism are who they want to buy the full game.

Its pure speculation from me so just giving a wild guess. Probably the first meetings trying to pull a profile of a CRPG consumer where the initial research pointed out the market are a bunch of old ass guys like us around late 20-50s.
Do your normie old boomer gamer care about this? No. So not worth the risk and just a headache for PR.

Probably after the first batch of sales and collecting data from WoTC, oh we are getting a younger audience interested and people that care about this sort of stuff? Ok lets spend a day just adding some non changes in the UI and call it a day.

People like us is like 1% of the pie share so yeah we get crumbles from decisions directed at us. Interesting combat, staying power of decisions, resources management etc etc. The regular market wants play barbie, be free to do whatever abstract creature he has in mind and engage with the story being acknowledged in whatever abstract way they thought about it.

 

[mondblut]

Yeah, we wouldn't want the game franchise where you can hire prostitutes or have a Drow masseur jerk you off in front of your whole party dragged into the dirt, now would we?

I don't remember Interplay choosing this as a focus of how they presented the game.

If Larian were making Arcanum, it would be known as "the game where you shag Betty the Sheep, also steampunk something".

Okay, i was being a bit generous.

 

[Late Bloomer]

The regular market wants play barbie

Does that mean BG3 has "appearance slots" ?

It has seperate gear slots for camp gear and adventuring gear, so you can outfit your companions in casualwear in the camp

Then, if a turn based RPG get as succesfull as Skyrim then it cqn only be total incline, bear porn content & pronouns or not. Surely it would be a nice opportunity for smaller studios, and for all the TB crowd, no ?

Typical DOS.

The optimist's perspective: it'll draw a lot more people to turn-based cRPGs, which can only be a net win!

The pessimist's perspective: they'll be degenerate tumblrinas who will further the decline in the genre. Soon we will look back on Pillars and Numanuma as good games in comparison.
