It could be a first person shooter or a fucking racing game...

If its anything like Interstate 76 i'm all for it

My prediction: Codex hates gameplay reveal, but Minsc/Boo makes a cameo and is somehow still alive, so everything balances out.

Further prediction: Boo has achieved apotheosis and is now the patron god of idiot barbarian/ranger multiclasses.

 

[Lacrymas]

Is this the first game ever whose gameplay reveal was such a huge deal and so advertised? It somehow leaves a bad taste in my mouth but I'm not sure why. It's like it's being held hostage for marketing reasons, but those marketing reasons are insulting. I don't know how to explain it.

There are very few people on here who like Minsc, sooooo I don't know how that balances out anything.

 

[Crispy]

My prediction: main protag will be gay. No choice.

Game wins every award possible and Sven wins Nobel Peace Prize.

I don't want to be a cock gobbler unless I can also dive for minge. So, no thanks, Swen.

I'd love to see minsc alive on this one, just to kill him in the worst way possible with this glorious system that is 5E

I dunno, Sven beating "Greta Goblin" sounds like a stretch.

Is codex cool with 5e? Last time I brought it up it was like heresy.

I should have said "glorious" . But I believe it is not bad, it is just not as good to use in pcrpg as the 3.5 was.

I hope it isn't Minsc, I hope it's the chick who voiced Aerie, the best mage/cleric in history and the mother of my Bhaalspawn grand baby.

Aerie was disgusting.

Hey, shut all the way the fuck up. All the way.

One day until the Great Apoplexy of 2020.

HNNNNNNG-. HNNNNNNG- never changes...

 

[Lacrymas]

Is anyone doubting that Minsc is going to make at least a cameo? I predict him being a companion.

24 hours until the most massive butthurtness to ever be witnessed on the 'Dex

RT Action RPG inspired by The Witcher 3 and AC:Origins confirmed.

That would actually be hilarious!
I can appreciate practical jokes like that.

Who the hell dislikes Minsc?
He's the perfect character for a setting as cheesy as DnD. The embodiment of the entire spirit of the game.

There was also something about dead gods, I guess.... but who cares? I just want to ride into the sunset on my miniature giant space hamster.
I never understood why people liked to pretend Baldur's Gate was more than glorious cheese of epic proportions. You even had emo queens like Aerie and edgelords like Viconia. I mean, c'mon!

The encounters become "trash" when they're too repetitive and offer no real challenge and makes the player sleepwalk throughout the combat.

Congratulations, you described 90% of combat in every RTwP RPG ever released.

But I remember encounters in BG1 because of flair and in BG2 I remember adrenaline filled fights where the victory hanged by a hair strand, fights that were meticulously prepared, positioning was paramount and casting spells half a second too late made me weep.

Yeah, I remember those as well. Must've been 5-10% of all combat encounters in the game, max.
In D:OS2, pretty much every encounter is a close call like that (on higher difficulties, obv.) - until you figure out the most OP combos, but that takes a while. And late game breaks almost every party-based RPG anyway.

5E is alright.
A bit boring to play in PnP as the advantage/disadvantage system just turns everything into either instant win or instant loss rolls.
But perfectly suited for a PC game, no doubt.

Page 300. Maybe we should Retardo this one and start a brand-new thread tomorrow?

I predict him not just being alive and healthy, but also revealing being gay and making out with a furry tabaxi boy from the slums that tried to eat boo in a sidequest that you got from Mizhena grandchild.

That's my design philosophy in a nutshell.

 

[DraQ]

Who the hell dislikes Minsc?

Me, myself and I.

It never ceases to amaze me to see the number of 'dextards all up in arms against possibility of Larian's boorish, pedestrian humour tainting the subtle, high-brow wit of the series mostly known for mistaking loud annoying moron for comic relief, made by company mostly known for mistaking space lesbians and jelly-moulds for Sci-Fi and mistaking farts for high comedy.


Did you like Jar-Jar Binks too?

(mostly rant directed to general public ITT, not you specifically, thesheeep, although I'm not exactly in the mood for cheese, D&D or otherwise )

 

[Lyric Suite]

Bioware were retarded but the Baldur's Gate games weren't explicitly trying to be retarded. The fear is that Larian will go all the way where as Bioware never did.

Codex isn't a hive mind.

Posting on page 300 of an epic thread, don't mind me.
