Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 Pre-Release Thread [EARLY ACCESS RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Lilura]

Of course, in Aurora you can see far ahead but that requires a wrapper or a hack and you can't click to to everywhere that is viewable. Not in one click, anyway:

Compare the above now with native Electron:

In Electron, I can click anywhere on the above map and my char will move there in one click.

And yes, these are in-game screencaps.

 

[Delterius]

Actually, it's the Aurora and Eclipse engines that have traditionally felt better

fake news

 

[Lilura]

To Larian: model the entire Baldur's Gate city and let the player move about each district from a bird's eye view similar to that Electron desert town. As well as from any angle and at any zoom level. Employ trucking, tilting, dollying on rails, zooming, the works. Make RPG cams great again: bring them back up to 2007 level.

 

[Delterius]

what about model baldurs gate and let the player move about it from an assassins creed eye view

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

What about I turn this car right around and none of us go to Baldur's Gate if you can't make up your GODDAMN MINDS?

 

[Feyd Rautha]

I would laugh SO HARD if they were to implement a First Person Perspective, and just do an Elder Scrolls: Baldur's Gate. And then, in a fit born out of pure despair and decline, I'd kill Lilura.

Behold Candlekeep in Skyrim:

I’m probably way late to the party here but what the fuck is up with Sven saying in that GameSpot interview that BG1 and 2 is based on D&D 3.5?

That seems to be a more widespread error. Yesterday another interviewer on the E3 Twitch stream asked how BG's ruleset was being converted from 3.5E to 5E and Swen gave an answer without correcting her. Either he's too kind to correct interviewers (and himself), or he doesn't know that it's wrong.

My personal assumption is that the people who prepare the briefings for these interviews made an error and Swen is following their script.

So the lead man on BG3 doesn't know the first thing about D&D, that's comforting

He said he grew up with BG, so I have complete faith in him.

Thread is too long to read already. So is it drawn portraits for party or some ugly 3d shit?

Anime waifu style of course.

Or that Dungeon Meshi style for BG is also nice on the other thread.

 

[Lilura]

ugly 3d shit?

Whatever they are, they won't be as good as these:

 

[d1r]

Why not? The artist is still around, isn't s/he?

 

[Master]

ugly 3d shit?

But those are 2d. You cant zoom in from any angle and pan around and whatnot.

It link to your facebook account pick your main photo and do a render from it, sven said" things never made before in rpgs".Also will update your status if you romance some waifu in game, you will no longer be single.

Must haves they like won't have:

1. Interesting subraces.

2. Legit subclasses.

3. Powerful iconic spells like wish, teleport, contingency, dimesion door, et al. done right.

4. Cool weaponry.

5. Characters worthy of being part of the BG mythos.

6. Connection to the Bhaalspawn saga. People whine that it is 'over' but bullshitz. There should be a connection of some sort.

7. Fun party vs party fights.

8. RT w/pause BG style is best case scenario but I can live with Tb if done right.

9. Party of six.

10. Nudity, sex, and romance.

 

[Oreshnik Missile]

Would anyone else actually like it if there was PvP with each person controlling a 6-man party?

 

[Delterius]

are you mad

Interview of Swen on DOS

(about coop dialogue)
https://www.redbull.com/ie-en/divinity-original-sin-kickstarts-the-team-rpg
Unusually, the game spun out of observations Vincke made from playing at home with his partner. "The idea of making it an RPG that featured a true cooperative party – in the sense that everybody can discuss with everybody and everybody can impact the storyline – occurred when I was playing Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance with my girlfriend," he says. "We were having some fun and I started wondering what would happen if it were a real RPG in which we could discuss on-screen and agree or disagree about pretty much everything."

He did grow up with BG. It's just not the expected BG.

 

[Sentinel]

It makes sense then why he said BG was D&D 3E.

 

[Volourn]

It makes sense when you realize he is ignorant and retartet. How he managed to make DOS1 is very surprising.

 

[Xeon]

Man, 30min video just for romances. That's a lot.

 

[frajaq]

So in what special snowflake way the Protagonist is gonna be for this I wonder...

 

[whydoibother]

ugly 3d shit?

Whatever they are, they won't be as good as these:

Welcome back. I thought you left?
Can't stay away from the delicious Larian waffle?

 

[Spockrock]

I agreed with Volo twice in one day... this must be a sign of what's to come, at this point I'm 100% certain Sven is making a Dark Alliance "spiritual successor"
