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

[vortex]

I want to know what was Sawyer's pitch for BG3. The second one. But I guess we'll never know or maybe sometime much later.

Obsidian's Baldur's Gate 3 was not, to my knowledge, a Josh Sawyer game. I'm not sure anybody from Obsidian has ever talked about it other than Feargus.

350 people are working and no leaks / image/ news. Only 6 days left. I don't understand this. Hey larian are you there?

We are all going to be massively disappointed, aren't we.

I have a positive outlook, but also low standards! :D

From the experience of digging here and there, I got the feeling that their employees and outsourcers were pretty well instructed about this matter.

Not if you expect absolute dogshit, you aren't.

James ohlen works at wotc. surprise name?

The best games have always been made by ~ 30-50 people sharing an intimate atmosphere in a basement.

5 studios and hundreds of employees sounds more like Ubisoft and their annual turds

D:OS 2 was amazing so I'm sure BG 3 will rock my socks off!

 

[Lyric Suite]

Amazing.

You can't be disappointed when you have no expectations.

The decline always seems to find a way.

 

[Lacrymas]

I expect the worst possible scenario but I know I'll still be disappointed somehow.

Stadia already leaked the release year. Of course they will not release close to cyberpunk.

From a business point of view, if even half of those 350 people work in-house, there has never been an isometric RPG with such a budget. So if they do that, they are certainly taking a risk.

The big budget "RPG's" are mostly third-person, though if they do something like a zoom-out to tactical perspective and turn-based combat - I guess that would be okay. And it's certainly something that no other big budget title has done so far.

From the video it still isometric game I think.

I'm curious how it will deal with gaming sets, we could have minigames in this.

In 5e gaming sets are a gaming tool proficiency, like dice, Dragon Chess, cards ect....

 

[Ontopoly]

Amazing.

If there's one thing every video game needs it's an old man reading a romance novel sex scene to you.

Full voice acting and sex scenes instead of fade to blacks were a mistake.

I am severely lacking a "fabulously pessimistic" button for this thread.

 

[Alienman]

I'm really excited to see how many studios out of those 5 survives the release. Sure, it might become a great success, but keep 5 studios running like that?

 

[Infinitron]

The Larian satellite studios are all in places that are cheap and/or receive government subsidies. Russia, Quebec, Ireland, Malaysia. Increasingly common practice these days to branch out to cheaper locations like that. Even inXile has a second studio.

More tweets from 1UP conference:

Not this story again... we already heard it a dozen times FFS

Hmm... you have to wonder about the quality from a cheap workforce ​

 

[hexer]

Infinitron prove me wrong, I didn't write anything racist.
Prove me that you can get a superb AAA product with a low investment

 

[Infinitron]

They're cheap compared to Western Europe. I mean I think we've seen that Russians can do a good job on RPGs.

I want a mathematical proof.
Give me numbers, I don't want a subjective answer.

Quantify the input and quantify the output or remove my racist tag.
I'm done with this site.

Don't sweat it, guy. I think every racist tag I've ever received has been from Infinitron. The latest was from when I remarked that some announcing NPC in PF:WotR is going to be a pedophile's version of Aerie from Baldur's Gate 2. How was that racist? I have no clue. Am I going to weep tears of blood of the libelous indignity? That's like asking me if I swat at every gnat, or discipline every stray barking dog. How you managed to be offended by it after >2k posts and 6.5 years is far more puzzling.
