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

[Morgoth]

But that's old news!

 

[Van-d-all]

D:OS2's forced turn towards seriousness in response to customer feedback fell completely flat as far as I'm concerned.

Never thought I'd say this about any dev, but they take feedback too seriously. Majority of bad D:OS2 elements were results of such. Armor system, itemization craze, the serious plot moments...

 

[Elex]

OH NO

 

[Lacrymas]

They made up ridiculous solutions to criticism though. Too much CC -> armor system; too easy to cheese fights by going first -> round robin.

 

[Alienman]

C'mon Infinitron, you know I'm right. Compare with BGII's opening:

Man, just goes to show how much of the story's intrigue comes from the storyteller. Compare this to the opening of Deadfire when that chick tells you what is going on.

 

[Farewell into the night]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's happening...

 

[The Wall]

Realistic hope for realistic incline: it will be by all mechanical means Dragon Age: Origins in Inquisition or Witcher 3 size map(s). Any other hope is fool's hope and needless stress imo

Also: personal army of 5 characters max.

 

[Dodo1610]

Apparently the Liverpool studio Wushu Interactive is envolved in BG3 development they say on their website they do codevelopment

 

[CappenVarra]

search your heart, you know it to be true

 

[The Wall]

Armies of experts Larian & CDPR employ should produce after all these years at least two and half fun games. That's not unreasonable to expect, right lads? I mean with less people and resources we went to Moon, some 50 odd years ago ffs

 

[Sacibengala]

yeah, when I'm doing something that I really feel that is cool, I love to know the crap other people are doing just for comparisson sake.

 

[fantadomat]

two and half fun games

In five releases...

 

[The_Mask]

How is Volo still alive?

If Volo turns out to be the protagonist and he gets to become a mindflayer, the game is going to be so stupid it'll go back around to being funny, and I might just buy it twice at that point. Gotta love me a good troll.

 

[Abu Antar]

I want a bard companion named Kirill.

 

[Mortmal]

Thread title is misleading,there's no guarantee they show any gameplay still, could just be another trailer.

If they won't show any gameplay it means the game will be ready in 2034

 

[Thonius]

Let it come at 2022 at earliest. Kingmaker 2 needs a free space.

 

[Harthwain]

I got an idea what the motion capture is for.

Larian wants to tap into the untapped mobile Chinese market. Combat will be turn-based, with cards (like in Slay the Spire). The motion capture is there so you can see your character pulling out some nice moves in high quality 3D. It'll be a smash hit for sure.

 

[Lacrymas]

Imagine developing a game for the Chinese.

 

[Morgoth]

I wonder if Volo's statement is directed towards us, the players, or the protagonist? If the latter, then we'll be playing as CHARNAME? What?

R00fles!

 

[Black_Willow]

The BG series was ace at straddling the line between seemingly incompatible tones, which is something Larian has been unable to achieve since its inception.

Nah, Divine Divinity and Divinity 2 were fine with this.

 

[Roguey]

Imagine developing a game for the Chinese.

No chance. This will be a 2021 release. Dragon Derp 4 then for 2022.

Have they fixed Kingmaker's bugs in the meantime?

 

[Kleptocratic debt serf]

Dragon Derp 4 then for 2022.

I hope not, they should shelve that shit indefinitely...

Back to BG3, I am somewhat curious to see the gameplay on Feb 27th.

Is it TB or RTwP? (hopefully TB, departure from original BGs I know, but I would prefer TB)

My friend, you have no idea where you are.
