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

[Theodora]

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

Exactly, that's why I'm digging this. It's nothing to do with the Bioware factor which seems to be playing culture wars via RPGs.

Bug was more exciting than the hour of gameplay before it. At least it woke me up.

Swen is a good dude and I'll buy his game, even in early access.

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.

I think the Epic Jump was a special ability granted by the mindflayer worm

What a great ending for the demo.

Truly glorious.

That's why you have to save often Swen.

The save system is broken, he said it at the start

Great first question from the audience ....

The game is also broken

Values are straight of of the book he says. So hopefully they'll make that the tactician mode instead of just nerfing stuff.

 

[Tyranicon]

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

"That's the end of my presentation today."

*Wild applause*

 

[Theodora]

But Twilight is horribly straight. (Just not intended for men.)

You can easily imagine the sparkle though.

As long as he be sparkling for me.

Captures absolute nothing of the BG series which makes it so charming and enjoyable.

Looks a bland, tiresome, DA:I + DOS mix heavily tainted by most modern fails which have eroded the CRPG

Fucking wank

 

[Volrath]

Take my money Swen.

All of it.

 

[Hamster]

Vancian casting confirmed!

 

[Mikeal]

Nah i do buy good games

Is Dex good?

 

[Naraya]

Whoa, no consoles?! Incline!

 

[Shadenuat]

spells do reset only after long rest at camp

 

[Lyric Suite]

The gyths riding the dragons lmao. What the fuck.

 

[sullynathan]

"It isn't ready yet"

 

[Jezal_k23]

Vancian casting, no consoles. Surprising really.

 

[Orma]

Why is she saying 'restack' instead of re-spec? Is it some gay boston accent?
