Triple jump. Only in D:OS3

Thoroughly enjoying how the butthurt increases the better this game is looking to shape up to. Some people just want it to fail.

I want a really good disaster of a game.

I don't want it to fail. I just don't want it to ruin my memories. I was expecting them to make it a turn based slog that takes 200 hours to finish for 20 hours of content, but at least no talking lobsters and shit would be nice.

I wish the stream quality was a little better, but the game is actually looking really cool. Idgaf about "stiff" facial expressions.

 

[jackofshadows]

Anime jumps, fuck yeah! Although, as silly as it is, I'm actually forward to explore shit like Swen doin' right now.

Enviroment looks boring, wanna se some other locations.

 

[Robber Baron]

Still that crappy fog/haze, I hate it so much

Wathing to the stream. Is impression or the "3x longer jump" has cooldown?

One of the funkiest forgotten things about Dragon Age: Origins is that in some of the beginning cutscenes your silent avatar has facial expressions, especially at the Mage Origin. It looks kinda goofy since, you know, silent protagonist so BioWare clearly gave up on doing that 1% through.

I'm very happy Larian seems to be fully implementing it. Both ironically and unironically.

I'm way past the point of caring about how much a new installment in a franchise resembles the original. Like, was Splinter Cell: Blacklist close to Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (both in how good the game was and the style/atmosphere)? No, but it was still a very competent stealth game and I enjoyed it greatly (although not using Ironside as Fisher's voice was a crime). I hope that BG3 will be a similar experience - not a real Baldur's Gate game, but still a competent and enjoyable cRPG. As far as I can see, it certainly has the potential to be one.

Githyanki seem to have the level 1 spell Jump as a cantrip from a racial ability.
(Cantrips are level 0 spells with cooldowns instead of per rest casting)
Potent ability but pretty cool, I am a fan of races having utility level 1 spells as cantrips.

Greece I presume?

 

[jackofshadows]

What's up with extra-clicking on the dice before checks? Why they couldn't properly steal feature from DE?

 

[Child of Malkav]

This game has some fetishes, damn.

 

[User0001]

the goblin chief interaction is very good

 

[Lacrymas]

I'm not particularly sold on "easy rolls" every time you need them, regardless of what it takes from your character.

No, Baldur's Gate.

Eldritch Blast and most cantrips that i know had no BS mechanic like cooldown. Sadly looks like 5e is worse than i was thinking...

 

[Infinitron]

I can see why Swen doesn't really want to go to the Underdark. His writers did too good of a job with these goblins. The solo mission with Lae'zel is cool as hell.

True actually, 5e has no cooldowns only longer casting times on spells and stuff like only one effect per hour. Still its no biggy as long as its only on utility effects, not on combat abilities.

 

[Morgoth]

In terms of tone this is nothing like the Bioware BG's, but this is still shaping up to be a hellya good game on its own. Writing and gameplay looks very good. So they got my money.
