This is literally my current "Pre-BG3 playthrough" does this mean I am as much of an NPC as a (((games journalist)))?

Make the Codex Great Again! Pathfinder: Wrath
I'm going for Aerie or Imoen and also I just wanted to try a multiclass this time instead of another dual.

Oh shit I've been exposed as an Elf player. If I just stop posting for a few days everyone will forget about it.

Fucking retard devs shitting on Larian.

b...b.b.bbut they haadd MONEY, TIME and EARLY ACCESS?!?!?!

Nigga, all you triple A studios have exactly the same fucking thing, but you're too lazy and too focused on ripping ppl off for microtransactions, to actually make a good fucking product.

Take your envious ass back to the trailer park, and start cranking out good games, and shut the fuck up with this toddle-tier crying about how Larian is "AN ANAMOLY" of game making.

To quote the top comment on a youtube video about the drama...

"A triple-A game made by passionate, competent and creative people. It sure is an anomaly."

I'm sorry you fell for Larian's marketing. It's the typical method of convincing you, the customer, that there is more behind the product. You see it on the back of packets of crisps for fucks sake. "We're passionate about making potato crisps, we source only the finest quality potatoes and hand fry them with our special family recipe passed down for generations" LMAO fucking retard.

Nigger, get the fuck out, okay?
I played the early access, and BG3 is shaping up to be fucking good. Honestly, they made good changes from D:OS 2, and BG3 is a vast improvement from their divinity franchise, not to mention the story.

Sit yo ass down.

No idea what you talking about, Im playing G2 at the moment and its an excellent example of an open-world, challenging and worthwhile RPG

It has so many features that I expect in games like no level scaling and no map hand holding when it comes to finding things so exploration is mandatory and required and this creates real risk vs reward. It has quintessential RPG mechanics and this makes PB an excellent gaming studio

Just say NO to PB hatred :cool:

Enjoy whatever shit game you want. I'm just saying, stop pretending like the people behind the product are these passionate, creative people who deserve your money. They are not creating anything new, to say so would be dishonest. They are creating a product under a pre-existing, known brand name while iterating on the shit they already had in Original Sin.

You don't call Bethesda passionate and creative for making Oblivion with guns (Fallout 3). So why Larian? Serious bias on going here.

It's too similar to Original Sin. They couldn't get away from the cartoon style of those games. Some tweaks to the color saturation and post-processing effects to make it look a bit darker, then calling it a day. But try telling this to the Larian fags. They are convinced the graphics are a night and day difference and no comparisons can be made at all.

Yeah, despite the overall high asset quality, I find this game to be exceptionally dull from a visual standpoint. It's giving Rogue Trader a run for its money in the uninspired art direction department.

Then again, default DnD is dull as dishwater by default, so points for adopting the source material faithfully, I guess?
