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

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Communists used to be decent writers,

Name one.

Lem?

Several of Stanislaw Lem's stories are thinly-veiled critiques of communism, in particular Ijon Tichy's Thirteenth Voyage in which he sojourns on a planet whose inhabitants are compelled by a totalitarian government to inure themselves to living in water.

So you're that retard who keeps spamming this on every... single... BG3 thread on 4chan. Comrades, we have a true blue autistic retard here.

I'm not surprised you're this paranoid, comrade. Or that you'd prefer to suppress the inconvenient truth, even (especially) when it comes from the horse's mouth.

But no, I've not been spamming this on /v/. Haven't been there in quite a while, ever since I realised what an unhealthy cesspool it was. Used to be a /vg/ regular until /pfkmg/ died and monkanon aka Pink Eye showed the way here. I'm largely free of that place nowadays, and quite happier for it. Is it that surprising there's more than one guy disagreeing with you? I assumed you'd have gotten used to it by now, "comrade".

I never mentioned the board. Thank you for confirming my suspicions.

You really think Codex is better bro? Early /pfkmg/ days were fun though..

Better than /v/ for sure, and better than a single thread teetering on the verge of death. And the codex ain't so bad, there are some non-retarded people here.

 

[Pink Eye]

Well. For good or for worse. The Codex is our home now, I guess. At least we don't have to worry about threads randomly dying off.

[...] there are some non-retarded people here.

I'm not so sure.

 

[Pink Eye]

Me either. But hey. We have our own subforum. I call that a win.

 

[Harthwain]

Not really a true believer in the Communist Manifesto. He of course paid lip service were he had to, but didn't quite go beyond that.

I thought he didn't mean communist writers in the literal sense, but writers who had to create while living under communist rule. He even mentions "sci-fi/fantasy writers since 60s" in another post.

 

[Elex]

Well we have completed another bg3 off-topic bingo, the “discussion about comunist writers” was the last.

It's the thread that keeps on giving.

 

[vmar]

Did larian really write this?

 

[Roguey]

Did larian really write this?

No, that's official D&D lore.

 

[ArisatoSeldom]

Have any of the Divinity games had trannies or SJW NPCs?

At least Larian is not Beamdog, right?

DOS 2 had at least 2 lesbian pairs in the Arx (paladin member about to being executed by "white mail oppressor" and dwarven smith). Also in Divine Divinity there is no gender check in brothel, but i don't think that counts as such.

So...

P.S My first posts on codex after lurking as reader for so long and it's about DOS 2 in BG thread. Damn.

 

[Bara]

So going through the prequel adventure Decent into Avernus at least one of the critical role characters is cannon thus making the setting and all the characters apart of the universe. Originally I thought they were their own world and had zero cross over.

Specifically it's this guy called Arkhan the Cruel. So if anyone is wondering where the hand of Vecna is in cannon lore it's in hell and he's trying to use it to free Tiamat.

Just speculation but seeing as cyberpunk 2077 going to features streamers as quest givers I wouldn't be surprised if they had characters from critical role or such in game. Though there is still a hope maybe not as this is still a low level adventure so we may yet avoid this.

 

[Salvo]

critical role

Potentially the most damaging influence in the medium of the past five years

Someone has been reading Warhammer novels methinks.

Official D&D lore has absorbed elements from various creators campaigns since the beginning. That doesn't mean the entire campaign is canon, only the elements that are actually put in print.

Oh, no... That doesn't necessarily mean the character's gonna feature in the videogame, right? Right, guys? One of the things I liked in the BG3 promos was the complete lack of Dragonborn. Don't do it, Swen, my ass can only take so much... You can't do anything about nü-Tieflings and chaotic Pallies, but you can still say no to scalies!

That's an excellent start. Now go shit on Skyrim to pass the first rite of passage.

Well it’s more joe manganiello character than a crit role one.

Exactly. Whatever goes into print is official, stuff that's not printed isn't. What is your point?

The continent described in the book don’t exist in a void: the entire setting is canon, like the entire forgotten realms are canon even the part with no books based on them.

in particular: the event in the book are connected directly with the second critical role campaign!

What is this "entire forgotten realms" that's not from the books?
