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

As if that's a bad thing.

Memorable-looking characters are good to have. Everyone knows Minsc and Edwin. An effort was made with Shadowheart's hair and headband, but eh.

The art style and good, but simple character design (as in the case of the aforementioned Minsc and Edwin) should be what makes them memorable, not .

BioWare made a good attempt to sabotage Edwin though. The BG2 portraits are tragic.

Eh, still looks fine to me. Minsc looks fine, Imoen was an improvement, Jaheira and Viconia are also more iconic with their model-makeovers.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

The BG2 portraits I liked:

Viconia
Keldorn
Korgan
Jan
Imoen

IWD had the best selection of portraits though.

Spoiler

Are the immediate ones that come to mind. Especially the first one. Oh baby.

Edit: Apparently the first image stopped loading but it was the "Human Female Mage" portrait from IWD. The one in black, pale complexion and BIG JUGS. God bless.

"The boring answer is that it was just really good writing"

ohgawd come on. come on, person who supposed be writer *kicks larian writer* say something fuck. ugh here, i do this for you:

"bg 1 had writing like you played d&d session with your teenage friends and bg2 had irenicus"

this is not hard to come up with something about game you supposedly played and now writing 3d part

 

[Nano]

Viconia's was the only improvement IMO. Edwin looks goofy, Minsc looks uglier than he did in BG1, Imoen looks too childish, and Jaheira looks like a fish.

 

[Dodo1610]

Still, Larian's Gith design looks a lot less ugly than the official one. Apparently WOTC gives them a lot of freedom when it comes to art. Which makes me wonder what their Dragonborn or Gnomes look like.

 

[Outlander]

For some reason they have changed key art on Steam.

Before:

After:

That Warlock guy who was not shown at the PAX demo is removed. They said he will be available at EA.

They changed it so people don't make the mistake of assuming that a 4+ party would be possible

 

[Tao]

I thought they changed it so people dont mistake it for a D:OS2 dlc

Probably would be fewer fanboys interested in romancing that character, if her design were similar to Jeff Easley's classic cover for Tales of the Outer Planes:

Can't we have at least ONE hottie? Jeez

So my options are a girl wearing ten layers of foundation and a bowl haircut, or a person missing half their face. Thanks a bunch Larian

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Shadowheart doesn't really have a bowlcut, more like fringe bangs but her hair is tied back so it makes it look awkward especially from that angle.

 

[Riddler]

Do they really have to put that yellow girl at the center stage of the promo material? Looking at her gives me the shivers.

What do you mean you get the shivers?
You want to tell me they "raped" the lore and carved that beautiful nose on her for nothing?

Just say thank you to Larian and appreciate what you get.
Because they clearly made that character more fuckable and now every Lardtard can put their virtual dick in with more ease.

Otherwise you would've got something like this:

Spoiler

Wth are you talking about? That is vastly more fucksble.

I thought we established that Larian devs neither played or liked BG a while ago, what do you expect?

 

[AwesomeButton]

I can't believe no one wants to fuck Shadowheart. You are truly worthy bearers of Bioware's legacy.

Am not sure I'll stop laughing at her name long enough to have sex though.

 

[Daidre]

Then you'd just start laughing at her hairdo.

Shadowheart's hairstyle actually looks like something from this mod (collection was ported to many games):

Spoiler

 

[Saerain]

You think so? Those are very Japanese styles while this is just your typical a fringed bob.

It is not a typical bob, she got a long braid too, with some decorations:

Spoiler

 

[Elex]

That has to be bullshit, right? How would it even be realistic or possible for an adventuring party to not come across enemies who refuse to negotiate, or just some plain regular wild animals? And what about random encounters?

Wild animals?
this is why animal handling skill exist.
Also druid and rangers spells.

 

[purupuru]

Shadowheart looks too generic to be attractive.

 

[Elex]

Choose:
One evil alien green woman.
One fat pink hair human genderfluid “female”.

the green alien is the lesser evil.

Who do you think you are talking to? "I want to fuck Shadowchick" was literally my first post in this thread after the gameplay reveal.

I don't know why, but I'm pretty sure she gives some amazing handjobs
