Not gonna help if you want to play a full-blooded Dwarf.

And that way we could play an inbred rainbowhaired bisexual mutant in BG3, inclooosive!

The development cycle of Larian goes as follows:

1. Talk about the game briefly.
2. Spend 9 months in an opium den penning down jokes.
3. Implement the jokes in the game, before anything else in the game is even made.
4. Make the rest of the game.
5. Optional: donate your blood to Swen so he can restore his youth and terrorize gypsy children along the countryside.

Everybody else: LOLLLLLLL LET'S HAVE THE SAME DISCUSSION AGAIN FOR THE FIFTIETH TIME

Don't fool yourself, you play a huge part in this insanity. If there could be non-mega-threads about the topic, every big question would have its own thread and people would find the discussion they're looking for. The way it is now, every discussion is buried in a mega-thread no-one will waste time searching, and so instead everyone ends up repeating discussions.

The degenerate behavior you're laughing at is the direct result of your own thread management rules.

 

[Lacrymas]

Also, there's nothing to talk about but we still want to shitpost about it anyway, so quit complaining.

That's kinda true TBH.

I never seem to be capable of finding things (actual parts of a discussion) when I need to.

They should hire Ryoko Kui to do the portrait art.

Cobwebs of lies.

250 pages on a game that doesn't have anything other than its name revealed

jesus fucking christ

 

[Lacrymas]

There would be oceans of ink being spilled if someone announced that they are working on a sequel to the Bible, so 250 pages for BG3 with only a revealed name isn't so terrible.

Oh come now. There is *some* info. Name. Developer. Location. Major enemy faction.

There already is a sequel, it's called Quran. There's a pretty large fan club but not everyone liked it.

 

[Lacrymas]

The Quran did cause quite a lot of butthurt as far as I can gather, so 250 pages is still not terrible. And the Quran is more of a spinoff or reimagining than a sequel :p

I am a state cetified blood and cum donor, how can i help ?

 

[JarlFrank]

What about the Book of Mormon? It's kinda niche but the fan club is pretty chill.

Great musical in any case

Do Bhallspawns live forever or how is this supposed to work? Since he must have been very old to have a child that's now in the age to go adventuring.

 

[Xeon]

Do all Bhaalspawns beside the PC die in ToB? I think there was teleporting dude you help him by scaring him or something and he end up teleporting, maybe there are others as well in other places, so can't they just say your parent was one of the bhaalspawn instead of Charname specifically if others survived?

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

That would be a kickass setting, to be honest:

He explodes while teleporting, because he hits a magic barrier.

What about the chihuahua Bhaalspawn?

 

[Xeon]

You are right, I forgot, there was another quest with the mage merchant having his scrolls stolen and then warning the thief about that.

Thank you.

Oh crap, thats the source for the mormon jesus song?

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

No, Viekang did not explode while teleporting. He survived, as confirmed by the "A Murder in Baldur's Gate" adventure module, which takes place 123 years later.

I am pretty sure that after teleportation the game shows the body explosion animation and log says that he died.....

That's the way the game has of removing the character from play. Doesn't actually mean he died as in pass away, he actually teleported elsewhere. Do note that this is 2000 tech.

I think that Viekang is more like some easter egg/joke, because in all my years of play I haven't gotten any meaningful interaction with him. Maybe he had an actual story prepared for him, but I never saw that in the game.

Throne of Bhaal consists of pitting you against different Bhaalspawn, following that Alaundo prophecy. If you complete the game, you're like the last one standing so to speak (you can choose to assume a god's portfolio or continue to be a special mortal). I'm assuming -but could be wrong- that if you choose to ascend -which is the Evil option, I think, because you assume Bhaal's portfolio- all the Bhaalspawn essences would return to you, but the ending sequence is meh. Likewise, it stands to reason that if you continue your adventuring life, the surviving Bhaalspawn would go about their lives normally, since you wouldn't have a reason to hunt them down -especially if you're Good-aligned.
