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

[Russia is over. The end.]

Do you actually want to see a BG made by larian????? I don't.

If there's a 1% chance that it'll turn out ok, what are we losing? Let them make it.

 

[RickOmbo]

Hope it's pirate themed.

Have we ever battled an actual Kraken in an RPG ever?

Grimoire of course!

 

[Neanderthal]

Shitloads o monster battles in early Ultimas, can't remember if they were Krakens but they were big sea beasties.

 

[Ismaul]

My bet is that the tentacles are a reference to the Illithids. But I dont see how this could connect to Avernus or Baldurs Gate.

I'm suddenly reminded of a recently unveiled Beamdog character concept. You know, the Illithid paladin. One brave revolutionary against his tribe. A new Drizz't. Such subversion.

I bet it will be rated 9/10 on meta-critic
and everyone(codex) will be mega butthurt

Also if they improve on the stupid armor/magic defense duality split so everyone can cc chain

it will be incline

 

[RickOmbo]

It's like releasing a parody as part of a series it's mocking.

Have we ever battled an actual Kraken in an RPG ever? PoE1's one is pathetic.

There was a Kraken you have to fight in Shining Force 2, got pretty dicey if multiple tentacles ganged up on your units.

Aren't you drunk most of the time? Who's going to want your organs, even in Albania?

(Have a good and safe trip)

There are certainly some concerns on the contrast in tone of the Infinity Engine RPGs to that of Divinity, but I think Larian has a lot of potential to make something interesting. I also wouldn't mind seeing Wizards of the Coast invest in more CRPGs from competent developers. A variety of campaigns and modules similar to the Gold Box and Infinity Engine RPGs would be interesting.

A million times better than Beamdog, or present day Bioware for that matter.

it's funny how lack of legs makes this scene seem like people are shoulders deep in the swamp

Man O' War Corsair for all your sea monster needs.

FYI, there's a new D&D campaign for Baldur's Gate releasing later this year. Noticed it a few days ago, maybe related?

[Safav Hamon]

They are definitely related. WOTC will want to cross promote the videogame and PnP campaign.

My money is on it being called Baldurs Gate 3: Descent to Avernus, and they will both release around the same time.

The kraken fight(s) is actually a quite big part of Divinity OS2, yet you cucks act like you've never seen one in a WRPG. In other words, you clearly haven't played the game, yet you have a shitload of opinions about it.

There was a thread last year about this, though it wasn't specific to RPGs:

For me it's enough that I've played part 1. Liked some aspects, hated some (particularly itemization, levelling, humor, theme park design). Then I read about part 2 and how some aspect they've managed to make EVEN worse (itemization, levelling) with a bunch of outright retarded ideas added to the mix (armor systems, round robin turn order). So thanks, but no thanks.

Amberstar!

(Dodo1610 Lots of it in Vielauges (manyeyes?) air)

 

[Dodo1610]

My biggest issues with Divinity games were related with their shallow RPG systems most of these should be fixed by using DnD D20.
Divinity games always had these boring classless system where you get attribute points each level up. Though I still believe calling it Baldurs Gate is a mistake.

 

[Nazrim Eldrak]

There is still no comment from Larian regarding the BG related stuff.
This could mean that the anticipated game is not BG3, but a sound strategy to keep things interesting for them.
In the end we will know for sure when they release the title of their new game.
I keep sceptical!

 

[Nifft Batuff]

What I want - 2D (!!!); less WACKY, ZANY humor, less humor in general maybe, they can't pull it off; I'm ok with either TB or RT tbh, but slightly prefer TB; less flashy SFX; more time spent low-level; no level scaling; hand-placed unique loot!!!

Isn't world a funny place? You're going to get exactly the opposite.

What is the opposite of "RT or TB"?
