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

[Hamster]

I played through DAI, I have plumbed the depths of the Uncanny Valley and become inured to its horrors.

Not all of us emerged from the horrors with their souls unscarred.

Dude, you're trying to grasp at straws but there are no straws to grasp. As someone who's never quite forgiven CDPR for TW3 graphics downgrade, I tell you this: there's absolutely nothing wrong with the BG3 visuals even in the current pre-alpha state.

Well, it's hard to put it into words, i just get this unnatural, plastic feel from the character models. Maybe i will get used to it with time...

I can tell what gender these characters are, that's far ahead of Bioware or any old JRPG.

There are no genders. Just body types: https://youtu.be/XJhawYZwvPI?t=1786

Also, at least one companion is going to reveal that they are wearing a girdle of masculinity/feminity. Or maybe they all are sharing it with magical pockets.

What is this obsession with Half-Drow. I understand the appeal of Drow for the DANK AZZ DRIZZT MEMES but Half-Drow?

Drow look without Drow culture.

I kinda fear it's the obsession with impregnating elves. Being half-elf means something other than an elf has slept with the elven maiden and that's ...hot? Subversive? I dunno, you explain it to me. And yes, it's always the elven maiden, not the dude.

Kinda reminds me of an anemic Anne Hathaway.

No, it's what I just said - it gives you the Drow race without having the character be part of a shitty matriarchal culture.

Same reason games like PfK gave us half-orcs, but not ooga booga (full) orkz.

My favorite type is brunettes with big noses.

Dunno, I for one support the genocide of all the pointy ears (or their enslavement at the very least).

They seem to be around in almost all modern DnD games these days
All, like... 2 of them

Models look good. Maybe you watched too much hentai.

I'd take a guess and wager that it correlates with the inclusion of strong, independent, neon-haired womyn within tabletop groups?

Characters shouldn't be able to jump around like kangaroos in a middle of a fight.

I think they said the tadpole is enhancing your jumping capabilities just like how it allowed that vampire guy to be out in the sun.

Looks like we are witnessing birth of a new rpg meme - "tadpole did it"

What a convenient premise, allowing to handwave any retarded shit developers come up with in order to impress plebs.

Too bad it stays retarded nonetheless.

who wants anime d&d? I want to start at level 1 and be weak/average with 4 hp doing my 5 ft steps.

you can give me super jump 10 levels later or allow it through a spell.

This sounds like a promising start to your thesis statement. I assume you are getting a masters on critical race and gender studies with a focus on contemporary fantasy fiction?

 

[Lacrymas]

I already have a master's degree and my thesis was on John Cage ;d

Hmm, i just went back and watched some TW3 dialogue scenes on youtube and i think the possible reason i have such a negative reaction to Baldur's Gate 3 might be the combination of overly pristine character clothing and backgrounds clearly designed for top down view and not properly scaled for first person. Or maybe it's just my autism acting out.

Lots of empty pages?

Ha, but no. It was mostly about his sonatas and interludes, I don't think I've mentioned 4'33'' at all.

 

[Valky]

oh well it's actually in the Dungeon master guide page 270.

I guess I can absolve Swen of guilt for party initiative. The pattern now appears to be that 5E is just a fucking retarded iteration that removed fun and good from the D&D ruleset.
