Cool shit, never heard of that game. A cross between the FFT descendant SRPGs and accurate DnD rules sounds hella dope tho.
It's an incredible adaptation, with the unprecedented addition of 3.x psionics (there are both the Psion and Psychic Warrior classes), but it's painful to play. The interface is atrocious and you get almost no feedback for your actions. Controls are awful even for a PSP game... you have to select "move" from the menu every time you want to take your move action, for fuck's sake.

Game is not released. They don't even know how well BG3 would sell and yet they decided to retroactively change description of their other game...Thats rather bold if not stupid move...
I agree it's a laughable to change the description like so at this point in time (for the reasons you mentioned), but it's not exactly wrong statement either. Technically speaking they are the creators of Baldur's Gate 3. I am more annoyed at the spoiler they put in there.

The "challenge your companions or your friends playing as companions for divinity" premise was used to advertise the game before it even had come out so it's not like you wouldn't know what you were getting into if you were interested in picking up the game. Can it truly be considered a spoiler in that case?
Besides it just turns out to be a red herring (at least to some extend) since when you're finally at what you think is climax of the journey the device that's meant to be used to turn you into a god gets destroyed.
Sure you essentially get another shot at the same thing at the end of the game but at that point your story goal is not really to become a god/divine/whatever and rather about stopping the crew that blew up the machine[/QUOTE]

After that it's just been utter dross though, it's incomprehensible why WotC let the license go to waste for so long.
It's because they have been waiting all this time for the perfect developer. They didn't want to pick a bad developer that makes horrible games. In my opinion, they should have kept waiting. forever.

I can't think of a single dungeon worse than the house at the edge of time. Even Arcanum mines have more diverse encounters.

Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor gets constantly shitted on, yet its first dungeon is a hundred times better than the hateot.
Does the Magma Chamber in IWD2 count? Some of the best dungeon design in Return to Dragon's Eye immediately followed by some of the very worst. And then there's NWN2's Orc Caves™ that might like a word...

The time loop was cool. I enjoyed the beholder fight and the concept was interesting. Probably wouldn't be too fun if I ever replay the game but for the first playthrough I'm glad it made it in. Riding a boat through lava is incline.

I just read the Descent in Avernus campaign that this game is supposed to follow.. Isn't it just a revised version of the scenario of Siege of Dragonspear ?
And if so, what happened here ?

AS i've said some posts ago, August would be the announcement of the announcement date of the early access. Surprize : I was right once again. Now would I be right about...??? :

  • Most Larian haters will purchase the game on day one.
  • Most Larian lovers will love everything about this game and see no problem if Lariajn decides to do a awful thing like put lootboxes in the game
  • Will be a great game if compared with other modern RPG's but a trash game if compared to BG2 or any 90s game
  • EA will be only one if not two chapters
  • Will have romanceable elf companions
  • Balancefags will complain when people "discover" the Pun Pun Builds
