[Lacrymas]

Oh, that headline doesn't do them any favors.

 

[BarbequeMasta]

They did fuck Baldur's Gate up, we can agree on that...

 

[Lacrymas]

I was thinking of a word with a more ...forceful meaning than that. They are also calling the gith an orc lololol.

 

[NJClaw]

"Orc warrioress Lae'zel".

 

[Lacrymas]

To be absolutely fair, she doesn't look like a gith and even I thought she was an orc at first, like I've mentioned several times. I'm more willing to say Larian haven't made her gith enough when basically everyone doesn't know what she is than blame the journos this time. The article is quite cringe-y, though, sooo.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

She looks like Zhjaeve to me.

nobody besides ultra-nerds even knows what a gith is

 

[Serious_Business]

Some gith cunt think she can end the unspeakable plans of the Elder Brain

Foolish!

 

[Peachcurl]

Orcs are fungus. She doesn't look like fungus.

Wrong thread mate.

"Orc warrioress Lae'zel".

Thus their creditability is zero. A shit hype spam garbage,delete it with its writer.

Hi!

gosh okay tu so much Infinitron for taking the time to post that article it is very and it is a stew of two games brewed together but I do not undertsand how traps in a dungeon turn to turn based? Do they get a turn to fire based on your search/disarm skill or that what could it be right?" From what I have seeen it does not liok like it will meet the expectations of previousx games of the genre like Siege of DDragonspear adn Pillars of Eternity series and I hope we can create our own party instead of meeting with them scripted encounter NPCs to join the party. I just do not like how their faces looks and why aree they so clean looking right? RIGHT?? They are adventurers do they get laundry service or something?

I think right now the game Josh put money into to design the Lich Tower is the best bet in meeting our high standards and demands of the Codex vs. finding full barrels of oil in a forest ther ejust ot break and spill onto the forest floor and ignite with a fire spell while none of the trees burn around you during battle just so you can hope to divind the monsters between you and them with hot flames in a hopeful attempt to get them to be near them to cast an ice spell to freeze the flames and oil and slow the monsters down so you can then cast an acid spell on them to corrode their armor and weapons before finally finishing them off with a sleep spell right?

|Okay keep fighting the fight and see you on the field of barrel-filled combat squares! My initiative is over it is your turn!

gosh almost forget pls eveeryone be safe and listen to your local governm,ent or mayor okay? OKAY!

Thanks,
Sherry

I miss the old days, when we actually killed green skins(except in warcraft for the horde and all that) instead of having degenerates fap to them....

"Orc warrioress Lae'zel".

So... now Dak'kon's an orc.

Many of them worshipers of an entity known as the Absolute. There's a world-changing conspiracy to unearth

From the forgotten realms wiki though I have no idea where they're pulling this from

In the late-15th century DR, many tribes began to swear allegiance to The Absolute, and other creatures became united and rallied to the cause. Volothamp Geddarm had heard about this and sought out any who made contact with the zealots of the Absolute. He claimed to have interrogated a goblin captive, who told him that they had forsaken Maglubiyet "in favor of someone called 'The Absolute'." Volo noticed that, since their loyalty was now with the Absolute, they had become "informed by a kind of strategy anathema to their kind." The well-known story teller intended to get to the bottom of the matter.

Like I already knew not to expect anything much from Larian writing but they they really do start this plot hard with kidnapped by Illithids to a far-realm god or creature pretending to be with "world-changing" truths.

Why can't it just at least start off simple with a mission to retake a city like Phlan or waking up in a dead house.

Also god help us if this is true. When I was looking up info if Absolute was something already established in the setting or not I came across this video.



Kiss the feet of a goblin to steel a ring. ALL IN MOCAP. I hope his source is wrong.

 

[Lacrymas]

Larian like their cults with concepts as the names. The Immaculate, the Absolute.

Larian like their cults with concepts as the names. The Immaculate, the Absolute.

And yet have no idea about the feelz behind such words.

 

[Lacrymas]

I'm not sure they want to go into Socratic dialogues, post-Hegelian idealism or Christian theology. If I were them, I wouldn't go there either.

Why should we be fair? Anyone who knows anything about D&D knows the difference between an Orc and a Gith. They don't even look the same, there's many differences. For starters the noses are completely different.

I'm done being fair to incompetent journalists. They can fuck off.

 

[Gyor]

I'm not sure they want to go into Socratic dialogues, post-Hegelian idealism or Christian theology. If I were them, I wouldn't go there either.

If we are exploring Theology I'd prefer Henadic Platonism and Modal Realist based Polytheology.

Not meaning something that melodramatic,but such words do have an impact when meant for a character. Yet they use them in such a meaningless and empty ways. I would love to play an "absolute" RPG!

 

[True Ukrainian]

Divinity 2 was really disappointing. I got bored close to the end of the prison colony chapter as it just dragged on and on. BG3 better have faster pacing and more interesting writing.

 

[jackofshadows]

I just do not like how their faces looks and why aree they so clean looking right? RIGHT?? They are adventurers do they get laundry service or something?

To be fair, Swen did promise system that will fix it.
