Nah i do buy good games

Yes.

[Heroic Liberator]

No alignment system since Wizards asked Larian to tune it down, so now you can only be paragon and renegade good and bad.

 

[deuxhero]

Confirmed Wizards is consciously axing alignment system. Good riddance.

 

[Saerain]

The vampire can turn companions, though?

Changed my mind. I'm all in. The true Bloodlines 2 right here.

WotC was behind that? Wtf? (Like, Wizards, not Hasbro?)

fuck you

 

[Spectacle]

The gyths riding the dragons lmao. What the fuck.

The Githyanki-Red Dragon alliance goes way back in D&D lore.

 

[Alienman]

wut, no alignment at all?

Mentioned by name because alignment is less prominent in fifth edition.

 

[Saerain]

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

Re-stat.

No consoles YET.

I mean, c'mon, you know it will happen.

 

[Latro]

WoTC told Larian to "tone down" alignment system on purpose

 

[Heroic Liberator]

wut, no alignment at all?

Sven only said that Wizards explicitly told Larian to tune them down, that you can do good and evil things to which your companions will react (including leaving your party) and that alignment change is not directly seen by the player.

 

[Strange Fellow]

But will there be co-op??????

 

[Ent]

I'll give it shot. I'm hoping the UI is cleaned up and made more unique and I really don't think the flourishes are necessary at all.

 

[Curratum]

Alignment in tabletop games is only used by cunts to seek attention and sabotage the party. It's an artifact of the 70s and needs to be done away with entirely, even in the printed books.

 

[deuxhero]

Alignment doesn't actually do anything in 5E. It's just there. Detect Evil and Good only finds aligned creatures, not alignment.

[Turuko]

so the previews that are going around are the same slice of the game + another 10 min
but played by somehow who rehearsed it i guess

 

[rusty_shackleford]

The gyths riding the dragons lmao. What the fuck.

Gith brokered a pact with Tiamat to forge an alliance between the Githyanki and the red dragons. This has existed since original AD&D. Maybe idk, read up on the lore before commenting on it.

 

[Lacrymas]

Amazing, I am floored. I didn't imagine even in my wildest dreams they would be so faithful to D&D. This is cause for celebration, anyone who thinks otherwise is insane. Speaking purely from a combat perspective.

 

[Shadenuat]

well idk, the stats are there, the mechanics look like solid base at least, larian are bound by d20 and can't do shit dumb numbers,, but it does look like dos2 reskin aka bg with exploding barrels, the combat wasn't that exciting and all of the writing that happened didn't appeal to me.

there is something that missing, as someone noted you only notice it's faerun when you see selune symbol on item, and all these "hurr i gonna bite my companion" are just not needed in bg game.

looks kinda like d&d for casuls I guess.

also I feel it's important that in BG1 you're thrown into dangerous world right away, somewhat same in BG2, this tutorial with 20 minutes dancing with 3 lvl1 enemies was p meh to capture a feeling of bg.

I wouldn't be surprised if the console manufacturers have been keeping them in the dark spec-wise. It seems only the bigger studios have specs and devkits so far.
