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

So, is it a Larian game with DnD influences, or a DnD game with Larian influences? I intend to wait for a sale anyway, but if it's just reskinned Divinity, then maybe it's worth a skip.

The only honest answer I can give you is that in EA it did feel like a Divinity derivative that implemented D&D. The armor/shield system is obviously not there, but you can definitely feel its DNA.

How will it turn out for full release? No one knows. The media is already selling it as the best RPG of the decade, while others are already calling it a blight on the genre. The game isn't out for another week and a half, any opinion you hear about the final product needs to be taken with a metric ton of salt.

Same song with every major game

Yeah but BG3 will actually be the new standard for RPG's though.

Looks good so far but until most of us have actually played it, the jury is still out. The end game could suck massively, the story could be terrible, the writing could be retarded. This is Larian after all

Tieflings are essentially hell goats. So when you fuck the bear, it will be a whole new level of degeneracy.

 

[Barbarian]

Snowflake races now are drow and maybe gith. Tieflings have become trivial.

Used to be the former, now it's the latter.

Really you think 5E is inferior to DOS2's abominable combat system? Are you high?

5E spellcasters are fine, but 5E martials are mostly just boring autoattacks. Anything is better than that, and even Larian thought it was so boring they added a few weapon maneuvers ala 4E.

A lot of words for neutral human fighter.

Otherwise, are you looking to play pure paladin?

I've spent a lot of time thinking about it, and I'm still torn between dwarf bard and dwarf paladin. My heart says paladin, but my brain says bard.

What does your dick say?

My dick says paladin.

I'm not playing Dark Urge.

We are on the road to page 1000.

Late Bloomer ( ) hasn't posted in a bit. His next collection of thirstposts may put us over the top.

The most impactful moment for me was when you walk into demon’s den as Lohse and it shows you one candle per room with stolen soul, that you snuff out to make the demon weaker, only for you to walk into the last room that has hundreds of them.

And now with a picture:

Can you just cast the rainfall spell in there?

Yep, you can snuff them all out with rain.

I don't think I ever did Lohse's quest. Now I have to replay DOS2.

Is there a bonus for fighting the demon and not snuffing out ANY candles?

 

[Incendax]

The bonus is that we don't mock your masculinity.

What does your dick say?

The heart wants a tender paladin. But the booty dreams of a rough barbarian!

 

[Aarwolf]

How far is the 1000 page?

You say Paladin, I think Crusader. Nothing tender there

Will weapon maneuvers even make sense when you can just boink stuff 9 times per round as a hasted fighter?

 

[processdaemon]

I'm probably going to try goolock first because I'm curious to see how they implement a great old one patron, especially since they suggested there would be some sort of patron interactions, although I suspect that fiendlock will end up better fleshed out in that regard

Just pick dwarf monk.

His dick would probably veto that
