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

[Elex]

Does anyone else feel really unimpressed by the companions (apart from the weird green alien elf)? Like not one of them even stands an inch next to how unique and snatched Pallegina lewks (or any of the main cast of Deadfire). Like older not as cute Timothée Chalamet the vampire elf is so bland. That nobody cutscene halfling that Swen fights before the dungeon totally looks like he has as much effort put into his lewk as some of your party? That's my only criticism tho and maybe they'll fix them and make them more unique during early access.

In today interviews they confirmed again that you can kill them so i guess there are more companions npc.

I love the way Larian are pretending to ignore the barrage of outrage from the actual Baldurs Gate fandom about their Divinity 2 re-skin. They couldn't be more obvious about wanting us to be demographically displaced by the fanbase they've been cultivating with DOS.

100 years after BG2, the only companions alive are going to be elves and dwarves.

LOL. BG3 could be a gay sex sports management flight sim set in the distant reaches of space, but it WILL feature fucking retard minsc and his miniature giant space assplug. That's the only thing pleb recognizes about BG.

Imagine coming to the Codex and saying BG's 'tone' is any good lmao.

Grotesque, why post that? ↑

It seems the only thing this game has in common with Baldur's Gate is the slogan they keep forcing into every single trailer, web page, and anything else that has anything to do with the game.
Gather your party. Gather your party. Gather your party.
Doesn't it just tickle your nostalgia when we use this one line as our catch phrase while simultaneously ignoring everything else about the originals?

Could you, like, venture forth?
As in somewhere else perhaps?

Seems like legitimate reason to me.

Oh shit. This is gaming's darkest moment. We truly are in the age of decline.

Someone get me in on this.

Why not? You can have some great conversations there about hardcore RPGs. They know what incline is really all about.

According to this article ( https://jv.jeuxonline.info/actualit...-imbert-senior-designer-combats-baldur-gate-3 )

will be no short rests. So why pick warlock if you can't use short rests in the game?

Removing the short rest mechanics is retarded, a lot of features in the game are linked to short rests

Larian making absolutely retarded design choices? I'm SHOCKED!

And further in the thread user Nightfallbob prudently assume : "Which is why I think they probably won't introduce a cool down and RPG Codex is probably missing a detail."

Maaaybe, but only because it focus on the bigger picture : islamist cuckholdry apologists !

Spoiler

Did S0rcererV1ct0r made that thread?. Writing style is very similar at least.

I doubt there will be cool down on spells or abilities. At most, if short rest aren't there, then maybe some skills or spells may have out of combat cool downs to compensate or as someone has said, probably limited uses per combat. Perhaps Larian wanted to avoid the players spamming short rest too much after every fight, which would be a stark contrast to D:OS 2 auto heal and easy rest. Also maybe they were worried that it would somehow affect the "flow" of the game if players rested after each fight.

Is there any info about how long rests are going to work? I really hope they do not let us just rest without consequences, it would defy the purpose of the mechanic if it were like that. Either limiting when to rest or some kind of time limit should help to encourage the players to manage their resources instead of relaying on resting.

 

[Spectacle]

Seeing how BG3 features spelljammers, I wonder if we'll finally be encountering some giants space hamsters of the non-miniature kind?

Yeah, RPGCodex is the sort of wretched hive of scum and villainy that makes Mos Eisley look like a desirable vacation destination. I'm not clicking that link, it might give my browser cancer.
