You do know that WotC has published a campaign that starts the characters deep in the Underdark at lvl 1?
Yes, and it has an interesting concept but it's meh to run. In terms of creatures, you mostly fight lowly duergar or spores, with the occasional weirder Underdark denizen like an ixitxatchitl. Descent into Avernus takes a lvl 5 party into Avernus, but I wouldn't use it for justification. I suppose they are doing this because they know higher level D&D gets bogged down in combat and abilities. Out of the Abyss bogs you down with NPCs, so good job there.

It's more correct to say there are no more epic levels, so the challenge ratings of these beings were reduced to accommodate that.

What about dragons. If you're not fighting a dragon is it even a fantasy game?

Ancient dragons are around 20-25 challenge rating, adults are 13-16 depending on type. For comparison, Zuggtmoy is 23; Orcus, the demon prince of undeath, is 26; Demogorgon is also 26.

So now dragons in this one? Most disappointing thing about bg1 was no dragons. Probably the only thing Larian cunt swen took inspiration from. It's probably the only decision he took that resembles the original series.

Maybe I should go draw a sequel to Mona Lisa. Artists know what's up, they would properly criticize and shame me. Unlike you spineless cucks. Be more like artists because Baldur's Gate is art, and bg3 is the metaphorical shit Mona Lisa stick figure drawing I drew.

You know that we already have a shit-ton of Mona Lisa sequels and that some of them were made by some of the most influential artists of our century, like Duchamp and Dalì, right?

You've transcended retarded. Your stupidity is limitless. I can't even fathom what the fuck you're moaning on about here.

Is this a cry for help? What is wrong with you? I played BG 2 for like 10 years straight and I don't compare it to the Mona Lisa. What... ?

Heh. They couldn't help themselves and made even the half-elf waifu ugly. Larianfags will defend this.
The first one has a man-jaw and beard shadow. I'm not surprised the Codex is devastated by the change.
Fuck off! The first one is a lot more fuckable than that retard in the second pic. Clearly Swen got butthurt that people prefer the tranny elf over this nose hook porn fetish or the faggots. Thus he decided to just uglify the poor pixel lass.

PS:You have shit taste of wenches lol.

Jesus you dont check this thread for a day and tis a waifu thread now. You guys are hornier than the JRPG crowd.

Could this be a sign of visual customisation instead of broad character redesigns? Maybe they let you do the visuals for all story characters if you want.

I use magic to emulate a computer. Fuck these techno babble cunts and their gears. I am a master wizard with an arsenal of knowledge I have gained from my travels of the worlds. I have seen things you wouldn't believe. In some worlds computers existed whose very essence was controlled by the schism of chaos. Others by lightning in devices. Some incompatible with the essence of magic that exudes from my body but my intelligence knows no bounds and I have found a way to shit post on the codex despite it.

I'm more salty about going into the Underdark at lvl 3 or whatever.
Is that a thing or are you just joking?




Please tell me that it is a joke.
Ok, it's just a joke.
Ohhhhh ......the game is fucked beyond believe. Don't know what kind of retards will end up liking it. I propose a permaban punishment for any cunt that actually defends this shit after release!
Why wait? Ban all the Larian cultists now.

I have no idea at what level we go there, but it's less than 10. I guess we'll find out in 2 days.

Not a huge deal in 5e, the level curve is very different. There is no going above 20 anymore and a level 20 party can massacre through pretty much all of the hell lords in Descent into Avernus.
To make a single Drider a medium difficulty fight (which usually is a steamroll in your favor) you only need 4 level 5 heroes. 2 Driders at once become medium at 4 heroes level 10.

https://kobold.club/fight/#/encounter-builder you can play around with this thing and input a few well known monsters like Trolls, dragons etc to get a feeling for how the power curve of 5e is.

5e is the worst D&D garbage and DOS3 will be an epic example of how shit it is. The lore doesn't make any sense,the mechanics are gimmicky shit,the writing is retarded...there is no redeeming qualities in this game.

Personally, when I get to go to the under dark I want to see some of the cool intimidating monsters but I guess a couple mushrooms and only mushrooms can be fun too...
