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.

And it's nothing to do with FR. It's... a book about a campaign setting that is designed by Matt Mercer and played by his famous roleplaying group Critical Role.

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

I like Minsc, but the few panels I've seen from those comic books though are woefully cringe-worthy. They have the wrong phrasing, make him talk far too much, and abysmally retarded. Minsc is a bit part, a supporting character that interjects cultural/situational inappropriate humor and occasionally goes "Leroy Jenkins". He's not a character to build a story around. I am really hoping they keep him gone for BGIII.

 

[Efe]

why do you hate minsc? nobody forced you to recruit him?
"remove X content cos i dont like it BAAHH"

You misunderstand. I said that I like Minsc. Very funny. One of the all-time best bro NPCs. What I lack, is any faith in modern abilities to keep Minsc's charm and character from BG1&2 intact.

 

[Efe]

well duh... they are being by an entirely different generation of writers and of vastly lower caliber.
but still no reason to act like its beamdog making the game. i get lowering the bar of expectations but whats being done in this thread is destroying the bar altogether.
we should just stay fabulously optimistic for this Baldur's Gate and System Shock 3.

 

[Tito Anic]

BG3 will be to BG2 how F3 is to Fallout2. Gaymers will love it.

 

[conan_edw]

At last!

 

[Viata]

A FUCKING LOGO!!!!!!11111111111111111

 

[conan_edw]

looks to be during PAX East

 

[Jimmious]

IT HAS MOTION CAPTURE REEEEEEEE

 

[Dodo1610]

How is Volo still alive?

 

[The_Mask]

At 0:12 - there is one split moment of a dev working on something. Does anyone know what that is, exactly? It looks like someone working on the way characters look(?).

Otherwise:

1) They're using motion capture.
2) Orchestral music.
3) They're using stock footage of the sea. (I mean... Sword Coast - not shocking)
4) There's at least 1 angry woman in the game. (lol)

Looks like a 3d render of the motion capture tbh

 

[jf8350143]

Motion capture is expected since a game like this will likely feature at least some cut scenes.

The combat system is still unknown and that's pretty much the only things matters at this point.

Big reveal at PAX East, the consumer oriented expo. I guess that's aligned with trends and also Larian's strategy since D:OS. The E3 reveal backed by Google seems kind of an oddball.

Also they have posted several new job postings recently. While many of them are for internships at Quebec, some point possible release timeline.

BG3 2021 huh, that's fine, 2020's crowded enough already.

 

[LESS T_T]

I'm imagining Early Access in Spring, and full release next year.

 

[Abu Antar]

I still believe this will be third person action rpg.

you think they're gonna do an Early access?

Have you even heard of other Larian games before?

 

[Lacrymas]

The other games were kickstarted. And I think of all of Larian's games only D:OS1 and 2 had an EA.

For Swen Vincke, whose team earned a lot of praise for the turn-based combat system in Divinity: Original Sin 2 , the question of the combat system is not something he wants to put to the vote, even though Baldur's Gate 3 is a kind of beta test or early-access before release Phase should go through .

 

[Jedi Exile]

So we will visit Baldur's Gate at some point and there will be some characters from the first game like Volo. Nice. Can't wait for the massive butthurt at February 27th :D Because if it is turn-based and isometric, Bio's fans will go crazy, and if not, the Codex will rage at Swen and dethrone him.

 

[Haba]

Pah, if the RTWP is as good as with Kangmaker, I don't care.
