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

[The_Mask]

You cannot easily get someone who has never played an infinity engine game to play POE with its pre-rendered backgrounds and "complex" RTWP. Original Sin 1+2 are games that are a lot easier to get into for someone who has no experience with RPGs.

I disagree, but I'm sure your point of view and perception is valid to someone out there, so... moving on. Sorry for over reacting, I guess.

 

[Strange Fellow]

D:OS is easier to get into for newcomers in the sense that it is fun to play while POE is not.

 

[Tigranes]

Cyseal is the only truly great part of that entire franchise - though Cyseal alone is certainly worth the entry fee.

Who cares about making a good game, they have sales quotas to hit.

2 years in development, 300-strong dev team, and making good games is out of fashion.

Here i will disagree with you mate. Larian may be lacking in the talent department,but they have always put a lot of effort and soul in their games. I may not like their last two games,but i do still respect them. I do really like their older games,it is shame that the same level of writing and imagination is missing in their newer games. Also they are pretty experienced with mixing genres and experimenting,thus i am not worried that they will fuck up on a mechanical level.

 

[Tigranes]

Will they still have that soul now that they are hundreds of employees spread throughout multiple countries, needing to sell magnitudes more copies to stay afloat? Let's see.

Holy shit you guys are repeating the exact same pattern for over 100 pages.

Person A: It'll be gud
Person B: No because dev team has over 300 ppl
Baldur's Gate scholar: *lore stuff*

Ta-daa:

They can put all the soul they have, and as a player I will pick the games where the designers put their soul and made a good game.

Welcome to the great autistic sabbath known as the RPGCodex!

 

[Jimmious]

Larian brought TB CRPGs back in the spotlight with tremendous success and both D:OS games are at the very least above average.
I doubt they would create TB games if they only wanted sales. They have a vision and are working towards it, regardless if they always do it successfully.

 

[AwesomeButton]

How ufortunate that both their tremedously successful games are declined shit. Someone had to say it.

Divinity: Dragon Commander,the best political/wifu simulator ever made! It is shame that this writing and interaction wasn't included in another game. This will make a great "kingdom ruling" game.

From the illithids hideout in the sewers in Athkatla

 

[Roguey]

"soon we shall dominate"

If soon is "over 100 years later"

Their average lifespan is 125 years or so, so it's not like they're elves.

 

[Lacrymas]

"As is typical of their race" sounds like race realism to me, aka racism.

 

[Xeon]

I kinda didn't like the Hidden, when I first saw that, I thought the Hidden would be someone who would make more of an impact but you only meet him if you do the Gnome's quest in the sewer and its kinda of a shitty quest he sends you to. They really made them feel incompetent or something.

Alhoon seemed kinda better but I am not sure if you'll ever meet him again if he manges to escape.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

Tb got ahead. This is interesting.

It's funny how you think this poll matters. If this poll was on my blog, it'd have 10,000 votes.

Here is one poll I put up:

The figures don't matter. The goal is to draw attention.

Steam link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1086940/discussions/0/1639788130267067237/
Larian forum link: http://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=652746#Post652746

That poll is irrelevant. That fact that you cite it says sums about your discerning "intellect" (and anyone else who has cited it). Want me to put a similar poll up on my blog and see how many votes it draws? I will crush your pathetic "strawpoll".

Then do it!
Crush those pathetic peons with your might blog!

I already have with King Content, so what difference is a poll going to make? I don't need to pwn the poll peons. I punch up, not down.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

But is there anyone left to be punched up? Ahh! The SHOCK! The DISBELIEVE! The DISAPPOINTMENT!

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

so is Swen still cucking around with the gameplay details on this one?

They're a hivemind, the lifespan of one doesn't matter. I don't think a lifespan for Elder Brains are ever mentioned, maybe in some of the more obscure books.
