Preview Baldur's Gate 3 Gameplay Reveal, Previews and Interviews

[MrMarbles]

In this interview they are claiming that the game will have no day/night cycle at all.

Honestly this is the first thing I'm genuinely pissed about. I don't even want to hear the justifications about how it's a costly feature.

They are blowing basically unlimited budget on this goddamn production, I'm sure they could have spared a percentage of the budget to account for that.
It would also be a long term investment, as they'd be able to recycle the tech (variable lighting, time passing, scheduling, etc) for each of their subsequent titles, in some form.

What gets me is that they cut features like this, hand-placed items and item artwork, UI investment etc and then blow a trillion bucks on hours and hours of voice acting for their shitty generic dialogue.

The thing that really kills me about this is that their first RPG, Divine Divinity, had a day/night cycle.

.

Really doubt that. WotC is extremely stingy, or perhaps, Hasbro is extremely stingy when it comes to financing third party usage of WotC licenses.

WoTC is not funding BG3 to any extent.
They are just giving Larian permission to work with the IP.

Just for the record, unique and hand-placed itemization is confiermed to be a thing for this game.
Still, while it's a great news in itself I have faith in Larian to screw it to some extent.
It wouldn't be a Larian game without dreadful itemization, after all.

... well, then the budget is anything *but* unlimited. It is limited to whatever Larian has or can drum up.

Classic WotC.
