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

[Grotesque]

That's really cool to me since I never played the old games

So what the hell are you waiting for then?
Go and play BG1 (and not the fuckin Enhanced Shitdition), finish it and make a review for the Codex titled, "My impressions as a woke codexer on an RPG older than me."

Is it?

In any case, xir woedica got triggered nicely by my desire to fleshcraft xir into a piece of furniture, so I would wager xir is not a troll.

It's a shekel grab and nothing more. That being said, without being optimistic in the least, maybe something decent will come out of it.

Interesting how Sven said in the latest video that they're "on an adventure to make the best RPG that was EVER made."
Crazy or bold?

Not crazy nor bold ,define best... Best in sven mouth could be the most mainstream and accessible rpg ever made, even putting to shame the like of Bethesda and bioware.

Devs love to recast the same voices for some reasons.

Going to guess contractual reasons — almost guaranteed to be because of SAG being horrible. They attempt to treat the video game industry like movies and fail to understand that VAs are not the star of the show. Look at the big shitfit they threw a while back and game developers pretty much just laughed at them because they wanted a % of all profits from the game like real actors get with movies.
Upshot is that we're only about a decade away from quality voice synthesis.

Yeah, only problem is it was last decade, not next.

Vocaloid is not real voice synthesis, it's concatenative synthesis. It essentially has a massive library of sounds recorded from a real singer and uses them like an instrument.

That they have delayed and drummed up so much hype around a "gameplay reveal" makes me believe it will be shit.
I.E. RTWP

Lol. I'm betting they came to him, not the other way around.

Also, self-quoting because I don't give a fuck.

Funny it's bigger than Focus Home Interactive.

Looks like the Lord Belgium and Muldumarec Cromwelp the Bird Knight is planning a campaign.

It'll be a FPS where you can throw your boomerang sword at will with bangable companions which auto-level along with their equipment following their stupid IA archetype.

Spoiler

How many Codexers will think :" Oh that's cool, that's exactly the game i wanted to play" ?

They have more time, more space. More press time,
More visibility.

Also basically no others rpg release in the same period.


It’s gonna be the new skyrim.

Nah, he just said "best RPG that we've ever made", thus followed narrative about upgrading tools, technology etc makes perfect sence.

You don't hear the long S sound he makes when he says the word "was"?

If it is not isometric people gonna launch rockets at their office, but i am pretty confident it will be: both BG and Divinitys are isometric, so why they gonna change?

Greatest prank of all time if they make it TOW with D&D.

Unlike Obsidian they actually seem to have money.

Money was the least of Obsidian's problems.

Why would they hire mo-cap actors with face cap if the game is going to be isometric? It makes no sense.

I still bet my ass that its going to be something akin to Dragon Age Origins, with the third person camara and the tactical camara, its not isometric but i guess it works.

 

[Grotesque]

with face cap

this is face caption, not that

That's honestly the best case scenario, though 80% of the forum will still cry like little bitches.
