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

[Desiderius]

If I had to reinvent/depict dragons, I'd have made their relationship to humans like the one humans have with animals in terms of brain power and overall superiority.

The intelligent dragon is already an old fantasy trope, mate.

Yes, but we don't ever see that in games. And it's not so much intelligence as incomprehensibility.

They can't fuck busty blondes if they are dragons and that's the true motivation of wannabe-nazis.

Half-dragons beg to differ :D

What was this thread about again?

Lacrymas displaying his feminine nature?

 

[Lacrymas]

Can't wait for early access of this D&D turn-based RPG.

 

[Cryomancer]

Divinity: Original Sin 3: Baldur's Gate.

At least mechanic wise, doesn't have the BS armor mechanics, BS cooldowns and etc

Lacrymas displaying his feminine nature?

That is not exactly true,since he is doing it in like 20 threads a time.

Well, women do tend to have long hair and short thoughts.

I don't doubt it will at least be better than "actual" BG games (or at least BG1) and quite possibly better than Larian's previous TB offerings.
Maybe they will also retain whatever they learn about not marring good mechanics with retarded crap (cooldowns, stupid armor system, massive stat inflation, item fever) in their next project, whatever that might be.

I don't think taht will be good as BG1. IMO will be far worst than BG1/BG2 but far

It's puzzling, BTW, how none of the local wannabe Nazis have latched onto dragons given how perfect metaphor they are for majestic K strategists withering the onslaught by the unwashed hordes of r strategist barbarians.

Makes you think lol.

 

[Gaylord III]

Wasn't a diehard fan of DoS, haven't played DoS2 but this new sequel of theirs might be worth a look.

 

[Cryomancer]

I was re watching the gameplay and is sure that they are fighting 3 intellect devourers as lv 1? They gave me a lot of trouble at lv 6 on NWN1. How much enemies will gonna be nerfed in this game?

 

[Lacrymas]

Enemies don't have the same CR in D&D 5E as they had in 3.5E. We've been over this. These intellect devourers don't have their signature ability (devour intellect), that's why they are such a pushover. Why they would strip them of this is a mystery to me. Maybe they wanted the first enemies to be "weird" and "mind flayer-y", but it's kinda tasteless.

They could have called it "LESSER intellect devourers", or "baby" or anything. Pathfinder Kingmaker did it with Jabberwock

intellect devourer in 5e have 12 AC and 21 HP +4 to hit and 2d4+2 damage.

The thing that make them dangerous don’t really matter in a video game where you can reload.

also probally intellect devourer don’t consume a brain infested by mind flayers because they are mind flayer pets.

Wotc embraced the “tadpole in the brain is not a big deal”:

“You were implanted with a mind flayer tadpole, but the ceremorphosis never completed. And now the psionic power is yours. When you use it, your flesh shines with a strange mucus.”
