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

we will be able to fuck a githyanki ima calling it.

Ok fuck it. I changed my mind. BG3 is going to be the GOAT

I wish we would play as an inter-dimensional squid on our squid spaceship. This way it would be even more similar to D:OS2, and cause even more delicious butthurt.

I have to admit the guy in the first screenshot looks pretty cool. Mustache man looks pretty gay though

Beamdoge have done a better job at honoring BG legacy compared to this.
Fuck this shit.

read the first dialogue choice.

So... why exactly Baldur's Gate III looks like Divinity: Original Sin III?

 

[whydoibother]

Can't tell which is worse - the contrarian codexers dissing the game just because its not a 1:1 remake of the old ones, or the coomer codexers praising the game just because it might have 2 lines describing sex.

 

[Desolate Dancer]

A nothingburger, just as I expected.

And the worst part? Based on those screenshots it appears that in comparison, even Soyer's Trashernity is closer to an actual IE game and BG than this new crap. But oh well, at least it's called Baldur's Gate III, ri-right guys? Never mind that it hasn't got a single BG bone in its body, we can substitute all that with gummybear graphics and sci-fiesque MMO HUD straight outta D:OS!

 

[Shadenuat]

remembr that discussion about that bg is minsc? well here you go. they probably thought so and ruined tone of the game.

Also I just find it so fucking weird that in places where they could stick to BG legacy, like dialogue, they injected larian into it. it is such a strange place to lack any taste.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Yeah not being Rtwp hurts as I liked BG Rtwp, but TB is far better than Skyrim and Dragon AAA, so at least it will playble.

Dialogue style is still DOS2 retarded. I guess its better for LARPING because someone will always say "My Paladin wont speak like that" or whatever but its still fking awkward.

 

[ArchAngel]

Why are dialogue choices written like our thoughts instead of what we are going to say exactly?!
This is as bad as Bethesda Fallout 4 dialogue wheel shit

 

[pomenitul]

Oh great, D:OS3 wearing BG3's face. Such fucking incline, I've never been more excited to meet a doppelgänger in my life.

 

[GhostCow]

read the first dialogue choice.

I've read all of them now and the dialog looks like shit. Why does every option have stars next to it like it's in quotes or something? Why is the character's thoughts in the dialog instead of left up to the player? I didn't get more than a few minutes into the Divinity games but I'm guessing this is the kind of stuff that causes me to see everyone here say that Larian's writing is shit.

The writing here reminds me of the shit people would write in RP BYOND games.

 

[whydoibother]

i judge games based on how close they are to infinity engine, rather than their quality

ur dumb lmao

Hey it could be worse! Remember when we went from Fallout 2 -> Fallout 3 ?

I regret ever shit talking Sawyer. Villains always become worse and the steaks always become higher.

Yeah not being Rtwp hurts as I liked BG Rtep, but TB is far better than Skyrim and Dragon AwA, so at least it will playble.

Stop saying reasonable things that make me want to give it a chance

*I explained to him that it's because Larian can't write for shit*

 

[pomenitul]

Does anyone seriously think they'll pull off a hybrid combat system? Either they design it for TB and RTwP is a pathetic afterthought or they go for the obverse and TB devolves into tedium. Or they attempt both simultaneously and dilute gameplay so hard you'll be forced to focus on the writing, which is bound to be absolutely horrendous given Larian's history.
