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

[NJClaw]

Are you folks gonna play in EA?

I'm definitely dipping my bow in the fire on day 1.

 

[Swen]

Today is the day phaggotz, let the beta testing begin.

 

[Gargaune]

I'm not touching this until it released.
Not gonna spoil myself anything.

You're gonna have a tough time dodging spoilers for the whole duration of EA. Easier to do with something like PF:WotR since that's a smaller affair aimed at classic CRPG fans, but WotC will be trying to push this on the mainstream market, beans are bound to get spilled.

I'm just here for the cringe when this thing releases and people start posting pics

"Sorry, my tentacle-face is tired."

Minor spoilers like smaller story or gameplay infos, maybe.
But I'm more talking about how the game actually feels to play. That can't really get spoiled for me unless I'd play early access or extensively watch gameplay, neither of which I intend to do.

Personally, as much as this looks like Divinity: OS3, I believe that if you go in without your expectations being set too high you're going to have fun with this game. It also feels to me like some codexers WANT games to be bad so that they can complain about it, but then again seeing people shit on things is half the allure of this place.

Swen ,no more Definitive or enhanced edition. When BG3 leaves early access, that has to be Definitive edition. Take this as a quality standard.

There will definitely be some sort of X edition since the game is a PC and Stadia-exclusive launch. When it comes to consoles, new edition.

Wow, this sucks. Never mind the awful portraits, the UI is barely readable.

Like everything else in this game it just looks like D:OS 2.5.

I get wanting to improve the interface over Infinity Engine games. It wasn't the best. But I'd take that over these miniscule looking icons and vague symbols that could mean anything. What does the pig mean? Is that Polymoprh? Summon Familiar? The hand is MageHand right? Or paralysis? It's blue so is it some kind of frost spell instead? Larian are just so awful at design. Everything they do is "just good enough" and people wank them off and say their games have "charm" because they have forced, badly written humour and no one but me could be bothered to get past the first act to see how bad it gets.

I bet it's grease, HURR DURR we funny Larian.
PS Looks like it's copy from BG eh? Well I was 100% sure it was just a stain icon in either Ice wind dale or Icewind Dale 2/NwN1/2.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

At least there's no way this could be any worse than the other "spiritual successors" we've been fooled to purchase over the years.

I'm sure there is.

 

[Goose]

I'm gonna resent this game forever, the same way I resent Fallout 3, because it confirms we'll never get a real Baldur's Gate.

RIP

Again, has anyone even played the original Baldur's Gate in this thread?

Hurr durr, we funny BioWare.

Stop embarrassing yourselves.

 

[BarbequeMasta]

The real question for this early access, is how many weird ass Kinks will Larian satisfy for their degenerate fans in just chapter 1?

 

[vortex]

Why PS4 and Xbox doesn't have early access? God only knows console feedback is taken into account.

When something is shit, I will say it's shit. But the new UI is ok.

Don't you dare shit-talk IWD2's glorious spell icons:

They lack that old-style worn out spellbook look of BG icons, but I think that, despite their "modernness", they manage to be extremely evocative and pleasant to look at.

Sexyheart is hawt.

Stop embarrassing yourselves.

First of all I'm not a big fun of BG1 and BG2. I'm just very skeptical about Larian as icon RPG dev. Everyone busy trying to paint Larian and DOS as best thing ever since sliced bread.
Second, UI still suck's balls. If they wont give me a proper spell book overlay (quickcast) like it was in NWN2 I'm gonna be sad. Hotbars suck. I want whole spell book at my fingertips.

You don't make your real customers Beta test for you, you only use cucks who'll support the game despite it shitting on them.

How many kiloseconds left until I can start downloading this $60 demo?

The UI can still change my gopnik friend.

Around 21.5:

The choice of time zone in that post can't be a coincidence, Larian is hinting that their next project will be PlaneScape Torment 2!

But only after Beamdog lobby for it for 2 years and a rumor is leaked that they will get the franchise.

I would feel bad for Beamdog getting cucked that hard if they didn't deserve it, not to mention they likely enjoy getting cucked when seeing the kind of content they write.
