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

[TT1]

Actually, looking at the trailer again, seems to me that this skull+triangle symbol is like a "warning, this place is contaminated by illithids", something like that. The skull/hand have some tentacles in the bottom.

 

[Mortmal]

gonna say every other page in this thread i guess, a hand and a skull gotta be Vecna

Doesnt fit so good, vecna symbol is hand+eye. And i dont see he's prominent in forgotten realms.

D&D without missing in combat, because that's no fun. What drugs are they on?

Only hope I have is that they'll replace "missing" with being parried, dodged, etc.

 

[Martyr]

lol the release on the steam page just changed from "Release at 3:17 PM" to "To Be Announced".

 

[hexer]

Maybe they're going for the Witcher gameplay? Graphics sure do look like they're going in that direction

[Mazisky]

what is this symbol on the left?

It's clearly Wilson ball from castaway movie lel

They didn't announce it for consoles(right?) it won't be third action game, prolly.

Beamdog's / Trent's reaction

 

[Shadenuat]

Shut up Beamdog. Nobody likes you.

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

before venturing forth..

They sure know how to hit you right on the feels.

GOG: https://af.gog.com/game/baldurs_gate_iii?as=1649904300

It probably doesn't mean anything, but the page lists it as Real-time..

Shut up Beamdog. Nobody likes you.

I bet they wouldn't have thought to remove misses (and probaby the rest of dnd systems) from their game if they were making BG3.

Yeah, I doubt they've seen the gameplay.
And are those user tags like on Steam or GOG puts them up?

Ladies and Gentlemen, what do YOU think? Will they retcon (for the third time) the whole Abdel Adrian/CHARNAME thing, tastefully ignore it, or sooner or later bite the bullet and just flat out state the facts?

It's going to have nothing to do with the Bhaalspawn saga.
Just enjoy it as a new D&D game set in Baldur's Gate and forget it's called BG3.

 

[MicoSelva]

At first I thought I mislicked and watched some Cthulhu game trailer instead of BG3. I did not expect vomiting one's teeth.
Not sure if . Needs more investigation.

 

[volklore]

I haven't seen any 'missing is no fun' except in crappy mainstream reviews whose reviewer notoriously have less than 10 hours to spend on each game they review. To think game designers have to cater to those to hope gettin numbers like DoS2 is beyond depressing.

 

[himmy]

Regardless of what wagon of the hype train you're in, you gotta feel good for Swen for shit like this:

Larian actually originally pitched for Baldur's Gate 3 back when Divinity: Original Sin 1 was in development, but Dungeons & Dragons owner Wizards of the Coast thought the Belgium studio too green, too inexperienced, Vincke said. Funny to hear that now, given the enormous success of the Original Sin series - and evidently Wizards soon cottoned on to what Larian could do. "During DOS2, they reached out to us and said, 'Do you still want to do it?'" Vincke said, to which the obvious answer was: "Yes - of course."

Technically Bhaalspawn is still around right?
He's just on the Outer Planes, not on the Prime Material Plane anymore

 

[Background Character]

With my last breath I curse everybody who wanted Baldur's Gate 3

If they are sane they will never mention any Abdels except maybe as some easter egg meme.

Don't lie to yourself, you'll play it from the afterlife with the rest of us

Don't know. The storyline for the Bhaalspawn post-ToB is fucked due to there being multiple interpretations.

I've never heard of this Abdel Adrian even though I love BG2, wouldn't be surprised if the average BG2 fan has not either. Not sure that they need to address it if that's the case.

It's worse than anything that will come from larian's BG3.
