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

[Heroic Liberator]

So it's solely TB for those wondering about the 'Combat' and 'Turn based' @ the UI. It's so you can enter TB before being spotted.

 

[Chippy]

So they spent (how long has it been, over a year?) building up to this gameplay reveal...and it's just a reskinned divinity game?.

Aaaah, turn-based combat! So you can spend 25 minutes on every shitty encounter with 1 mage and his two bodyguards like a fucking autist and imagine yourself being somehow more prestigious for it.

Good luck selling this heap of shit, Swen, I'm off to the BG3 hate thread.

Oh please. As if BG1's encounters weren't ridiculously long what with the constant miss-fests.

 

[Seari]

Larian over the top animations for every ability.

 

[Ialda]

Art direction is atrocious. And the world looks much less alive and dense than DOS2.

 

[Shadenuat]

At least they can't ruin items because they're set to d&d items like armor AC14 so they can't make them ac 22555

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Larian over the top animations for every ability.

By the powers of Divinity and Dragon Age 2 combined.

 

[Shaewaroz]

At least health doesn't regenerate off combat. Gameplay is very Larian - good for what it is.

Just don't call this BG god dammit.

Presumably the encounters will actually be designed around TB combat and not trash fight fests.

Looks so goofy... compared to the trailer the tone just seems off. It really is Original Sin 3.

The biggest problem is that a turn took forever. Way longer than it would in something like Arcanum's Fast Turn Based.

who do I have to message to get a swen fanboy tag

 

[Ulfhednar]

It was cute while they were using their own IP... now...

 

[Radiane]

hmm they should at least playtested this a little more, or prepared some ready savegames or something
I mean, if they plan to present such an hyped game to the "whole world"..

 

[Saerain]

The personality of it is just so Original Sin. This reminds me of when the WoW clan made Diablo III and it might as well have been called Warcraft The Action RPG.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

the raw experience makes it even better rather than typical E3 garbage that never makes it to a live game

 

[nyjsu]

I hope they tweak the UI and overall looks, its way too similar to DOS2. But pretty damn good for some pre-alpha demo.

 

[tripedal]

Good god this slow-ass TB combat looks boring as hell.

 

[sullynathan]

There's nothing wrong with over the top magical powers

 

[Heroic Liberator]

You can use TB to navigate traps. "You get your turn, then traps get their turn".

 

[Curratum]

Why the fuck is everything flashing in at least 10 different colors for 5 seconds every time anyone uses any ability? What gay bullshit is this?

 

[Volrath]

Swen just made you all his bitch

 

[Falksi]

Just looks too much like a DOS & DA:I.

Big, bright, chunky bullshit. Looks wank
