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

[Valky]

Behold the most butthurt creature alive on this earth.

 

[Tyranicon]

This game manages to scream DOS DOS DOS a little more every day, in my opinion

I hate and despise that cinematic camera so much. And the dialogue.

What is it about how Larian writes dialogue that makes it sound so artificial? Feels like it was written by some half-baked AI.

Being butt hurt is a valid and healthy emotion and I find it disconcerting that you try to suppress it so much.

 

[Valky]

You're throwing a temper tantrum
Belgian man bad

Temper tantrums are a valid and healthy emotion and I find it disconcerting that you try to suppress it so much.

Are you less than 13?

No. I'm just Intune with my emotions and don't bottle them up like some old fart that's afraid people will judge him by rating his posts butthurt. I am comfortable with my emotions and have learned how to express them in an open and honest way.

 

[Volrath]

No he's just fluent's alt.

 

[Ontopoly]

n order for shame to work, the person has to care about your opinion. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest nobody gives a fat fuck about yours.

i'm amongst the most influential people on this website

You're no Lady Error

 

[Ontopoly]

No he's just fluent's alt.

Why do you keep saying this? I'm not fluent. That would be ridiculous. And illegal. I'm sure fluent is on some forum that better fits his ideas of what a forum should be like. Enjoying some nice video game discussion with people that actually appreciate him.

You repeated this multiple times. Trying to convince yourself, eh?

 

[Tytus]

Can we retardo this off-topic conversation about "muh emotional state" or something?

 

[aweigh]

No he's just fluent's alt.

It does sound an awful lot like fluent. (((YIKES)))

 

[Grunker]

the difference is the hamster and aloe vera balm stuff is sprinkles at least in no. 2

Outside the Kkkodex, "HURR FOR DEM EYES BOO! DURR FOR DEM EYES!11" is literally the only thing BG is remembered after.

This is patently untrue - I have plenty of normy nerd friends who have various fond memories of BG and cite it for this or that tidbit.

 

[Yosharian]

Oh god it is Fluent

 

[Ontopoly]

Listen people. I'm not fluent. You guys are getting side tracked. Can we please continue talking about Baldur's Gate 3 and how its a blight on the gaming industry as a whole. If you want to talk about fluent make a thread about it. I have even less in common with fluent than this game has with Baldur's Gate. Also why is everyone acting like fluent is some infamous guy who's mere presence would be a cause for alarm? He was creep, he got banned, he tried to come back, it didn't work out. That's all, that's it.

During the BG3 Q&A someone asked if there will be a certain ranger with a hamster.
Someone in the crowd shouted "GO FOR THE EYES"
My balls shrivelled and went back up my anus.

 

[Alienman]

Went for the brown eye in your case

 

[Tytus]

My balls shrivelled and went back up my anus.

Went back? Do you normally keep your balls up your anus? Huh...

 

[Seethe]

I don't care how good or bad the game is. The fact that it looks exactly like Divos 2 makes it untouchable to me. Just too many bad experiences with that badly designed game.

I would probably have murdered myself to avoid the ptsd if I was present

fluent was the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel filth, a real piece of shit. One of the few people who actively degrades a place by being in it, it is only normal to be alarmed.

Bioware developed the first two Baldur’s Gates games. How did you come about developing Baldur’s Gate III?

If you’re an RPG developer, Baldur’s Gate is like the holy grail. Swen visited Wizards of the Coast after we did Original Sin 1. He showed it to them and said we wanted to do Baldur’s Gate III. Swen tried to sell them on what a modern computer RPG is. He explained our design philosophies, what gameplay means to us, and our ideas for RPGs. They said no. I don’t know whether they thought we couldn’t pull it off because we (were) a small-time Belgian developer or if they didn’t want to do a sequel.

A year later when we were working on Original Sin II they actually got in touch with us. They said they were still thinking about the presentation Swen gave them talking about how we’d do a Baldur’s Gate III. Wizards of the Coast became more interested in getting back into computer games and thought of that crazy guy from Belgium. So that’s how it happened.

Apparently they wanted to make BG3 even before D:OS2, but WotC gonna WotC . Now they crawled back after OS1's later success, following the scent of Dem Dolla Bills and Larian agreed.

Dude, it's warm up there, try it.

Senile Wizards probably saw that Pathfinder did decently well on PC and that turn-based games aren't dead so they decided to chime in. Otherwise it'd give Paizo a monopoly on fantasy tabletop rpgs in video game format.
After all, the last D&D video games was Sword Toast: Legends, a game that people didn't care about so hard it got removed from steam.

Doesn't sound like me at all. I'm a very positive and productive person when I'm not dealing with deep decline.
