You know what? Maybe beholders aren't actually all bad after all... we just need to do better with our *communication skills* - they can't all be bad apples!

Now what hole are you supposed to fuck on one of these things...?

And he is from 2e. Jaekl failed the lore check.

Should've known that some smart guy would have already thought to subvert our expectations regarding the most famous of evil creatures. How about... let's see here... an intellect devourer? Can I date one of those do you think?

Reddit doesn’t like Berserker. Soyboys can’t handle the primal energy and power.

for me its the shunning of armor. it feels less like progressing your character when a core class idea is not wearing any

Your half-sister, didn't your mother tell you?

If you can imagine a good drow, this means just one thing - you don't know the setting.

They seemed pretty nice in Skyrim, actually.

Please tell me, is the story about a diverse group of individuals getting together to defeat evil nazis? If not I might play it.

There is a diverse group of individuals but you can murder them all and get power ups from it to play solo if you so desire.

Pick Dark Urge, kill everyone, steal their tadpole power, become the ultimate highlander.

This definitely is a playthrough, but I am not sure I want it to be the first one. I want to see the companion quests too, and killing them cuts that short.
Besides, you want to know what kind of people they are, to know why and how to kill them.

Larian's games are shit. If you want a good turn-based game, Knights of the Chalice is what you want.

 

[Grauken]

are there any RTWP fans of BG1+2 left who still complain about BG3 being TB?

The real mistake was making it a Larian game. Even giving it to Bethesda to make Oblivion with dwarves wouldn't have been as big of a mistake.

why are you in this thread with this attitude, go play something you like more instead of whining

There is criticism and then there is being a Jewish clown that hyperboles.

I do wish it was RTwP instead (or had both options like the Pathfinder games have now) but complaining about it at this point is just yelling at clouds. I'm sure I'll enjoy it regardless.

That would be a rewrite of the tadpole system I could get behind.

Especially if I get to say 'there can be only one' at some point.

I mean I've always play as a good guy in almost all of the rpgs in first playthrough. But I'm seriously tempted to play a evil character in BG 3 from get go. They went extra way to make both the druids and the tiefling refugees unlikeable as fuck.

The druid is lead by a bitch who is so obviously evil she will straight up murder a child in public despite everyone against it, yet no one is brave enough to do anything about it. Meanwhile the tieflings characters are made up by buch of bratty childs who needs to be murdered, and idots, lots of them. The goblins are bunch of idots as well, but they are goblins so that's justified.

My bet is that they are trying to make those who chose the evil route feel better.

Reminder that this is the kind of character that based Gary Gygax used to write:

In the 2021 Io9 series revisiting older Dungeons & Dragons novels, Rob Bricken described Gord as "a young street urchin who rises from poverty and imprisonment to become one of the greatest thieves on the planet" and goes on to say that "Gygax also revels in the misery he can inflict upon Gord. He starts in the city of Greyhawk as a young, abused orphan who's grateful to be caught stealing, thrown into a stinking prison, and forced to hard labor because it gives him a little food semi-regularly. Eventually, he's brought into the beggars' guild to be a thief (which is weird because there's also definitely a thieves' guild, that D&D staple) where he learns his trade and eventually sets out on a series of adventures throughout the realm of Oerth. Actually, "series of adventures" might be a euphemism for a "series of ho-hum D&D game sessions." There's no overarching plot in the novel whatever. Gord has no emotional growth. The "adventures" are utterly unconnected from each other, and even the longest only lasts six of the book's 33 chapters." Bricken felt that the novel and its plot were "all terrible, but it might be mitigated if Gord weren't so deeply unlikeable. He's greedy, petty, and vindicative. He thinks of four of the book's five female characters solely in sexual terms; the fifth escapes his lust solely because she wants to have sex with someone else. When he joins a Romani troupe—of course negatively stereotyped in the story—he "wins" one woman after a duel but quickly decides she's "a nag and a bitch." The most heinous example is when he returns the noble Evaleigh to her home and he's thrown in prison. He pretty quickly assumes she's abandoned him and hates her but when he's freed and realizes Evaleigh was sent away to another nobleman because she was trapped in an arranged marriage—even though she sends him a note wishing she could have stayed with him—Gord calls her "a liar and a bitch." Gord sucks. I hate Gord."[10]

Bricken commented after reading Artifact of Evil that "Even in this mortal realm, where I've devoted my life to watching bad movies and reading bad books, reading more about Gord feels like a zero-sum game to me, so let's say goodbye to the unlikeable protagonist and remember him as we last saw him—turned into a fine mist of blood by a very angry boar."[11]
