Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Suicidal]

From the PC Gaymer review:

Here are a few of my highlights:

• I'm becoming BFFs with an extremely theatrical vampire
• I recently adopted an owlbear cub
• I've embarked upon a complicated romantic relationship with a tiefling whose very touch kills thanks to the infernal engine encased in her chest
• I've replaced my eyeball with an artefact that lets me detect invisible enemies
• I consistently talk to the dead and animals, the latter of which are always a laugh
• I've put on countless impromptu musical performances for gold and applause
• I've caused more "accidental" deaths than Agent 47
• I've found several excellent hats

Those are his highlights, mind you.

A telling showcase of what's really important for vidya journos in an RPG these days. All fluff, cosmetic crap and cringy larping bullshit.

And I fear this game WILL try to cater to brainless puppets like this retard.

TBH replacing your eyeball with some device for a permanent upgrade (or maybe downgrade) sounds pretty interesting and is similar to something you'd do in PS:T.

IGN:

TOO MUCH CHOICE​

Gaming journos:
"It's too big!" "I can't fit it in!"

My Pally could choose from around 8 or so spells at level up. Some of them are utility ones. A lot of people playing the game are used to damage or healing and nothing else. Hopefully, it's going to make people realize that spells that aren't "useful" (read: not in those two categories I mentioned) are actually fun to use.

Okay. Rolls aren't artificially in your favor apparently. I've already failed two STR checks even though I have a +3 bonus. I'm glad this was reverted. I was succeeding every roll during EA's latter patches.

Nothing has been changed here unless you've turned Karmic dice off (which was also possible during latter EA patches). Which you absolutely should do.

300k all time peak. damn. Biggest CRPG launch of all time?

Probably not, but certainly the biggest PC-exclusive CRPG launch of all time.

What CRPG had a bigger launch?

What CRPG had a bigger launch?

I'm sure there were like a million or more people playing Skyrim across all platforms when it launched.

But hey, let's wait for the weekend.

How drunk is he right now?

Time for another "congrats".

Are you using Guidance?

Turn the karmic dice off from options just to be safe.

What CRPG had a bigger launch?

TWitcher 3 did 100k and Fallout 4 did 470k simultaneous players at launch but to be fair this game had a headstart of 3 years of early access sales. If it sells this well on the PS5 (doubt, but you never know) it might get into 10 million units sold territory pretty quickly.

 

[Cryomancer]

What CRPG had a bigger launch?

Not CRPG but Elden Ring had almost 1 million(952k to be exactly) current users in steam during its launch window.

As I've said, action games will ALWAYS sell more than more tactical games.

Oh yeah Skyrim for sure but I don't count that as a real crpg.

It must have changed because it was turned on. I disabled it.

You need to turn off the dice fuckery from the options. You can still fail checks when it's on of course.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

AwesomeButton or whoever commented on the character's walking speed. I just tested it and characters seem to walk normally if you click close enough to their position.

shadowheart VA doesn't fit her at all.

 

[Zariusz]

I cant wait for the glorius amount of luls that will come from this thread.

 

[Volrath]

It's finished downloading boyos.

I'M GOING IN!!!!!

Karmic dice works for enemy rolls too, just so you know. It’s basically a turbo mode, not an easy mode.

It can fuck up tanky builds quite hard though, so in some regards it’s actually harder.

This game has 250k players on steam. Welp, that’s it for CRPGs. It’s official, I'm gay.

Your salt is delicious. Still think AC6 will beat this?

Hmm so should I disable karmic dice? I want the biggest challenge, but read something that the dice is used by enemies too and therefore enabling it might make the game more challenging.

Karmic dice helps enemies more than you.

But it's still gay and should be turned off.

[Orud]

About to cross 400k players on Steam.

Yes. Goes without saying. But my pure tears of love are poured out upon this blasted hearth once known as crpgs…now known as gay games fer fags dawgonnit

I'm talking about CRPGs tho.

Why turn it off though? Scared of challenge?
