“According to RPGcodex...”

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.

or is simply the fact that you can't cast that spell with a bonus action

Yes. Was me.

For short rest, IMO limit 3 short rests per long rest and GG. But classes like WLK needs short rest to be viable. Unless you wanna half of wizard power and then a endless eldritch blast spam...

Is this Jan's nickname or something?

Sister/wife of the lead designer is a Islamic Studies major in London. Unsurprisingly, the lead designer says the design of Baldur's Gate is "outdated".

Is it just two people that aren't married or siblings with the same last name? Because that happens sometimes.

You'll have to check with the original person who made the claim. I've seen enough coincidences of this case to be less lenient on exceptions.

Gamers, of the tabletop or video variety, didn't used to be such titanic pussoise. But then again, nobody was. It has gotten worse everywhere.

Wasn't it confirmed that there wouldn't be short rest? Regardless, I really doubt they would implement Warlock and not have some mechanic in place for them to recharge their spells. Still limiting it as you say doesn't sound bad to me. Perhaps they also can adjust it depending on the difficulty, so Easy have unlimited rest, Normal have 5 short rest per long rest and Hard 3 per long rest. That way they could keep the casual audience happy while still allowing a decent amount of difficulty.

Seems the more likely to me. The twitter account that posted that did so without providing any kind of source or proof beyond them sharing last name. Not saying they aren't related, but I think there is just not enough proof.

Nah, it's advanced sarcasm hidden deep behind layers of irony. You got to up your game fam.

Functioning perhaps, but evidently not high functioning.

We must rout the casual Larian scum where ever they may stand. No longer will we be treated as second class citizens in a series that we have dedicated 20 years to. No longer will we have to explain our selves to the Larian fanboys. No longer will we sit aside while our beloved series is tainted with filth. We shall work in the shadows today so that tomorrow we can walk in the sun. The glorious sun, side by side with our beloved Baldur's Gate. Happy in our pride, integrity, passion, and knowledge that that which we covet is known to all as a superior product than that of larian's. They speak ill of that which raises them upon its shoulder. That which influenced the petty games which they play. That which glows as a shining example of what the series should be. A standard. The Golden standard to which all RPGs should strive for. We shall inform them of their wrong doings, and if they can not be convinced they will be shunned on the day we stand above.

Prepare for the refugees when bg3 falls. On that day we will give no quarter. Let any man or women make their choice now and prosper or fall on the day that is to come.

 

[Lacrymas]

I don't know who has dedicated 20 years to the BG series, I've only dedicated like 3 and a half playthroughs.

 

[Grotesque]

Grotesque, why post that? ↑

because there are parallels with what Larian is doing now in respect to Baldur's Gate

 

[Lacrymas]

Ummm, no, BG3 is not like the nu-Fallouts.

 

[Valky]

Newfags have no idea how the codex was on 2005. It was far more elitist, even the raving lunatics of that time were more inclined than of today. It is pure decline.

This post was made by the Roqua gang.

I probably played BG2 once every year or so through the rpg dark ages

I think I stopped playing it like 5, maybe 4 years ago. But before that, I used to play it about 6 months a year - constantly. Went through all the classes. Went through most combinations of companions in a party.

Not sure if the BG games are the best, but they're definitely the ones I've played the most.

Hard standard to match.

 

[Serious_Business]

Baldur's Gate was an ok game.
