Imagine, just IMAGINE people not actually following D&D or understanding anything about 5E and living in their own rabbit hole where 3.5 is still a thing.
Oh you mean the peak of D&D? Imagine living in 21century and still thinking that D&D is a thing in the real world lol. The only people that still play that shit are old farts like us mate. Kids have their telephones and don't give a rat's ass about your muh paper shit.

well while diablo items are out, nothing stops them from giving you a lot of +1 swords.

Please just tell me that "pick" is not a typo.

Also, you are wrong, kids are playing D&D. A lot of kids get very interested in it during high school years.

I'm hoping they're still gonna have interesting "perks" or traits or whatever, like immunity to poison but take damage from healing etc...

Story shown was pretty grounded. Guys have worms in their mind and want to get rid of it. Wouldn't call ability to drink someones blood as a vampire necessarily funny as well, because it can kill people. I think Zwen trying to joke at every opportunity might have created a wrong impression about game's overall tone.

:negative:

I expected it to be bad an a larian style garbage,but didn't expect to be so fucking blatant reskin. It is disgusting!

Looks like they lost a sale :M
Actually they did loose my cash,i was more than happy to support a BG game,but this one is not it. I didn't buy the first two dos games,yet i did buy their older,good games.

critical role and youtube e-celebs gave D&D a second life, it's pretty active in tech culture cities in most first world countries

Wait, I just looked at the inventory screen and we can't possibly get a 4 men party, right?

PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME PLEASE I WANT TO LOVE THIS GAME SO BAD PLEASE GIVE ME THE FULL 6 PLEASE
mods will fix it

I don't want mods, I want the game to be balanced for 6 characters. D&D 5 has so many cool classes, you can't ask me to pick only 4 of them, it's cruel and I don't want to do it. I can't play a party without the 3 main casters (arcane, be it sorc or wiz, cleric and druid), so I will never have a barbarian, a bard and a paladin in the same group.

I am gonna scream at Swen for a very long time.

Also, mods? They are not authoritative. :smug:

Well, you're in luck, because only 8 classes are gonna be in the game. Wonder who they're cutting?

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
All the literal retards in here who thought A) 350 people were making Pillars of Eternity, and B) Larian wouldn't make a Larian game, sure look fucking stupid despite trying to sound prestigious.

In all honesty - they kept it behind closed doors for so long that everyone seemed to think it would either be a collosal fist fuck (like F3 - me included) or some kind of evolution of RPG that they had been working on for the past 20 years.

Turns out it's just divinity with a BG3 title.

There are gonna be more than 8 classes or I am gonna kill Swen with my very own hands

This is more like D:OS 3.

Pathfinder was the real Baldur's Gate 3.

The butthurt is glorious. I cannot deny it.

Wait a second, only 8 classes? Which ones are cut?
Where did you hear about 8 classes?

They can't cut classes and leave the warlock in, such faggotry is illegal

15 races and 8 classes with "more to be announced"

With all the shitstorm, I feel like one feature is not getting the deserved attention - reactive music! The score changed according to what happened on screen, if you miss or someone dies you get some minor chords thrown in, if you crit you get a swell etc. Bloody brilliant!

If DOS 2 didn't exist, I think I'd be screaming like a cheerleader at the prom. Except I'm not. And I already feel like I have already played the game. This is gonna be fun, but I'm having a little trouble getting hype. I haven't seen a really new feature. The story's like "boarf" to me. And dialogue... are weird.
They're doing a faithful adaptation of D&D from tabletop to cRPG, is that not enough for hype these days?

And they are posting their session stories/logs about it. Usually involving how their persistent vegetative patient of a DM let them do something retardedly outrageous because they rolled for it and, hey, nat 20!
