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

[Elex]

In 5e books there is no reference about spellplague.

not a single NPC with a spellscar.

 

[Lacrymas]

Imagine thinking that TLJ 'fixes' anything

Don't worry, Rise of Skywalker brought back both the fascism and the incest, so everything is fine now, TLJ can't hurt the canon anymore.

I'm afraid to ask but here it goes - what "fascism" ?

More importantly, what incest?

Not true. the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide talks plenty about the Spellplague, and how the Sundering has reversed some but not all the effects of the Spellplague.

 

[Efe]

just took a quick look at two locations with spellplague in it. both said that part of the world was removed to another plane/world during spellplague and came back after it buggered off..
is this the common theme? if so its only a reference about spellplague's irrelevance .

 

[CappenVarra]

for BG3, much depends on whether i'll be able to create a full party of my own and condemn pre-made NPCs to the void where they rightfully belong

don't give me a D&D game but create the characters for me, or stern words will be sent in a letter to the editor

 

[Thonius]

This game is not real. It does not exist ,they have nothing to show. Game is development hell. I got proofs but I won't tell.

You're wrong.

Last time I spoke with Sven, he told me he's super busy working on it.

Come on Lacrymas, surely you're smarter than this. The 'muh fascism' thing is for NPC drones, not 'thinkers' as you say you are

Something to do with Ben and Rey being distantly related? I have no idea, I've tried my best to scrub TLJ from my memory and I didn't bother seeing RoS

Got any good houserules for multiclassing in B/X? It's weird how all demihumans are fighters.

B./X is not really about multiclassing, there's some options so your elves and dwarves arent just sub fighters after they reach their level cap, they got low level cap and supposed to learn a few more martial abilties learned from human races that to compensate for better saving throws and darkvision...Introduced in GAZ5 The Elves Of Alfheim , you can level your elf more as a druid, druidic spells in becmi were specific cleric spells(companion book). In GAZ13 The Shadow Elves, your elf can specialize as wizard(or was it in gaz5 already?) and no longer get martial abilities past the level cap.For dwarf cleric you have to look at GAZ6 The Dwarves Of Rockhome.Those arent houserules but real official material.

 

[Mortmal]

Also Morblot , read page 29 of companion's book. Demi humans clans have a very powerful relic they can tap power from+ special crafts , that allows them to cast whole range of cleric spells up to resurection. It's not clear although who's the keeper of the relic, if its the pc or another clan member.Relic said to be kept in the stronghold , and in expert rules you already can build the clan stronghold.

Didn't know that there were so many Disney fans on this site!

 

[Efe]

they actually decided on an unearthed homunculus like experiment from irenicus's lab being main protag as it also enables them to loredump the world while staying in character.

 

[Lacrymas]

Oh, and more more piece of information: Larian still hasn't decided who the protagonist of BG III will be. And yes, a Bhaalspawn is on the table, or at least was as late as December 2019.

Them not having decided on specifics does explain the total lack of PR and communication, so I'm kinda willing to believe that's the case.

That would hardly be surprising it's fairly normal that writers write the story around the stuff designers and artist have already made.

 

[Lacrymas]

That's the opposite of what they should be doing, lololol. If it's true, then it's no wonder video game writing is such a clusterfucky trainwreck.

How else do you think writing works for games? The writer has a great idea ->Devs try to make a game around it with the technical and financial limitations they have -> What they make turns out to be very different than what the author had in mind-> author changes the story because that's always cheaper than throwing away or changing the assets.

bet they will probably go with a similar system to DOS2?
predetermined characters with the freedom to build them how you want

 

[Delterius]

You sure do like orphan hamsters...

260 pages.

0 gameplay or even a single screenshot.

 

[Dramart]

I hope Minsc isn't in this game.

We are all heroes. You and Boo and I. Hamsters and rangers everywhere.
