In D:OS2 they gave you the option to create your own character (blank slate), but it was also possible to select one of your would-be companions as your origin story. As such both could be possible for BG3.
I had forgotten to mention the Hollow World Box Set, which includes rules for the Warrior-Elf class, so that all three types of demi-humans can just be fighters.
and how many NPC you meet in any 5e module that talk about that? how many place show the effect of the spellplague?
Already gone over multiple times in the thread but yes, he was turned into a statue, and probably, but that won't be canon/he'll get resurrected like the returning characters in BG2.
Ah yes that a set i am less familiar with,most adventures were in karameikos duchy and surroundings . I think they should reintroduce the basic set and mystara for 6E . Easy to make a few classes archétypes and resurrect the basic set, a simple and faster to play system.I had forgotten to mention the Hollow World Box Set, which includes rules for the Warrior-Elf class, so that all three types of demi-humans can just be fighters.
If the Star Wars sequels have taught me anything, it's that it's best to let this hope go. I can't imagine WotC or Sven having enough self-discipline to avoid cramming in as much creatively bankrupt fan service as possible.
the fact that minsc has a statue in baldurs gate makes me want to destroy the city
Once upon a time, fanservice was Princess Leia in a metal bikini. Nowadays, it is a purple haired stronk wymmyn who almost singlehandedly destroyed the entire Rebellion thanks to her arrogance.
Fan service in this context is used as in nostalgia bait.
I'm going to be going in with the expectation that basically the game won't have a single moment without some reference to the first two games, and it will all be cringeworthy and terrible. The actual story and the gameplay will be pretty much only afterthoughts, their most important priority will be unfunny references. This way maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.
Not if cuckdog has anything to do with it. It would be Neera if that is the case.
9 feet with a pedestal.
He's a throwaway joke character you might play for a one-off pnp session taken way too far because of the memes and name recognition. What are people unfamiliar with the original game most likely to recognize via cultural osmosis alone? Minsc, Jan and the Symbol of Bhaal maybe.
