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

[Rostere]

there's a pretty big overlap between people who hate this and people who liked disco elysium
really
gets that brain joggin

Let me tell you of the age-old conflict between combatfags and storyfags...

 

[Mazisky]

So, again, no day\night cycle? eternal daylight world?

 

[Ontopoly]

Wow. After that shit my new hate thread is going to get so much traction.

 

[holla_cabezas_de_mierda]

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

you know swen wants to though.

 

[BinaryForest]

Everything about this looks great except for the writing/story, which seems like the most important thing about a Baldur's Gate successor? Probably should have just made a differently titled D&D spinoff game instead of taking the mantle of one of the most well known RPGs of all time

 

[Bara]

Do spells refresh after combat? Be

then stop posting in this thread

Go and milk some space cow luke,now fuck off!

No love for Realms Beyond? (if it ever comes)

 

[Saerain]

Sometimes I catch a deity's symbol and only then remember this is Forgotten Realms.

 

[Ent]

Setting everything on fire and unnecessary mage hand shenanigans sounds like something that would happen in one of my weekly games.

 

[Mortmal]

Even D:OS-like combat is better than any RTwP-adapted D&D abomination.

From what i see in live footage its not DOS combat its real D&D combat with all its perks, truly by the book. Was expecting a betrayal but now its most incline thing since 20 years….

Almost by the book. For example the Special Attack like Pin Down for each weapon type is something that was trialed in some of the 5E playtest versions, but didn't make it to the PHB. Seems like they're bringing back a few more complex parts of the playtest material that's better suited to a CRPG.

yes and cunning action: disengage is translated into some epic jump too.

 

[Reinhardt]

Can't wait to charge into the tomb with my monk and breaking everyone's necks.

 

[Turuko]

hopefully the mod SDK is extensive

 

[fantadomat]

Swen just spent 10 minutes getting past a single trap. Are you clinical-grade autists actually enjoying this unironically?

I stopped watching during the second combat.

 

[111111111]

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?

Every fucking rpg has bright flashing powerups.

What a stupid complaint

 

[rusty_shackleford]

hopefully the mod SDK is extensive

It's using the DOS1/2 engine obviously, the devkit that ships with them is the same one they use themselves AFAIK.
They'd be stupid not to distribute the devkit again. Expect tons of content.

 

[fantadomat]

Replace both wymenz faces with "torrent" for accuracy.

Nah i do buy good games

 

[sullynathan]

El oh el

 

[Reinhardt]

 

[DraQ]

I haven't even seen the vids nor do I like BG, but TB + optional non-combat TB for timing critical sitauations alone make my dick do a pretty convincing Saturn-V impression*.

Without parts falling off, that is.

Wouldn't say that. BG might not be IW, but it isn't PST either. That being said, this shit doesn't even have that (good) campy feel going for it.

 

[frajaq]

LMAO THIS BUG

 

[Alpan]

Really enjoyed the conclusion where the game turned into a vibrator.

 

[culliford]

Game looks stable - release to production

 

[Alienman]

Awesome noise music.

 

[Strange Fellow]

this looks fucken great

 

[nyjsu]

What a great ending for the demo.
