YOU WAN GAME PRAY AMERICAN PIGGU?? TOO BAD HAVE A MIRRION CHEESE INSTEAD.

 

[Chippy]

To properly decide each Larian employee needs to play every cRPG in existence... At least 7 times.

That would be one hell of an improvement, can you imagine what kind of RPG would come out then when they eventually have to do it? I'm reminded of one quote from a woman who was locked up by her family her whole life - "to create art not out of love or beauty, but of solitude forever you must live and die in a dungeon". I feel like there's a poignant message there if we change up some words to be more appropriate for the situation.

Yeah, but maybe they just locked her up 'cause she was a talentless retard?.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Relax, Spidey-Gonzales.

ARRIBA ARRIBA

[Heinrich]

When is the next big game announcement thing? Swen said they had some real information after the holidays.

 

[LESS T_T]

We can only guess based on big gaming events. Since he said gameplay will be revealed before this year's E3, unless that's delayed...

Jan 17th - PAX South
Feb 27th - PAX East (bigger event, so if they do reveal at PAX this will be more likely)
Mar 16th - GDC

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they do their gameplay reveal in the week before E3 like other companies.

 

[Lacrymas]

Wouldn't that be a year without any kind of news about this game, though? That would just make it look like they are very, very early in development.

You mean like cyberpunk,anthem and nu vampire?! Devs constantly overhype shit for E3 (without any real reason) and then it ends up being still in the context stage.

He will say the game will come out in 2023

Why aren't they using Avellone? It would be an extra kick of publicity if his name is floating around even if we know he'll do like a sentence for a character in a graveyard which will be edited out or something.

 

[Alienman]

Trailers? As in more than one. Thought there were only one so far.

 

[Dodo1610]

Fuck even the new Magic RPG which was announced at The game awards already got a gameplay trailer

Larian

ftfy

Makes me wonder if Larian also will do GameInformer cover story thing.

 

[ga♥]

Why aren't they using Avellone?

Maybe they asked and he refused, who knows.

 

[Roguey]

Why aren't they using Avellone?

Maybe they asked and he refused, who knows.

It's also possible Larian's writers correctly believe having his name anywhere near this will overshadow them.

Which would be a good thing?

 

[Lacrymas]

Tbh, I'd be pissed if I were Avellone and Larian edited out my whole contribution, so maybe he doesn't want to work with them. Either way, having him on board can only be a good thing, even if only as a PR move. I doubt anyone thinks "Avellone wrote D:OS2!" only because his name was floating around.

You would be mistaken. There are also people who who still think he wrote Mask of the Betrayer, New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, and Kingmaker. Whenever he's on a project there are some people who will believe he wrote everything (I've even seen some give him credit for Baldur's Gate because he's listed in the thanks section).

The whole point of having his name floating around was so people think he wrote the game.

Infinitron can we tag this thread vaporware already?

get ready 9 jan new book announcement.

Announcement is delayed to next week:



People think it's another Forgotten Realms book, then I guess this book will be somehow relevant to BG3.


It's like WotC is doing everything hyping up Baldur's Gate.

Recently revealed this Laeral Silverhand's kit: https://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/rpg-products/explorers-kit

It's basically dice kit plus cards with lore info from the perspective of Laeral Silverhand.

The card for Baldur's Gate actually uses a still shot from the BG3 trailer.

And Funko Pop for Minsc & Boo and Mindflayer!

Not even talking about the ongoing Minsc comics series.
