Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Grunker]

Man Larian can do whatever the fuck they want after this release. I wonder what Swen'll choose.

Well well well

Lets hope we get more games out of this than garbo movies like Honor Among Thieves

Planescape please.

Christ, the rate at which some of you are tearing through this makes me realize how much of a filthy casual I really am by comparison.

I don't have much time to play it, I was at act 2 but got my ass kicked so I'm back to exploring more of act 1 of which I skipped a lot.

Probably DOS or some other original IP. All that license money the Hasbro CEO is bragging about is money that doesn't go into Larian's pocket.

Something very gay no doubt

The underdark has some interesting bits, it's nice to explore everything. There's also a path into the underdark via the hag's area. There's the goblin temple and the zhentarim hideout as well.

Better have barbarians in them.

I mean I would frikkin' love TB conan after playing exiles, but I can't imagine Larian handling that setting with tact

No more Divinity, I hope, shit's absolutely tapped out by now.

It'd be brave of them to make a non-fantasy game next, some kind of unique new setting. Save the genre like Fallout did back in 1997.

I reckon that they'll want to pursue their relationship with D&D more for now, though - with the groundwork of BG3 in place they'd be fools not to. Maybe a different campaign setting, though.

Come onnnn Ravenloft

i believe that was the joke

BG3 should get an anime, will bring in all the japs. Then they'd learn what an actual rpg is.

Would be a hit seeing how the writing is on the same level as your average light novel trash and everyone wants MC's dick for no reason.

Joke?

Kindda painful that we all thought the old fallout and bg devs of obsidian would save us yet it was the goofy annoying belgian fags all along

Japs already know of D&D and they kinda like it, it's just that they have their own brand of pnp games. They have their own D&D-like in the same way germans have DSA.

Batman or Spiderman won't save you though. Tintin will.

Well, that does demonstrate the power of diversity and inclusion, doesn't it?

I work from home and the workload is flexible unless there's something urgent.

I personally hope they once and for all tie up Divinity 2: DKS cliffhanger.

No more Divinity, I hope, shit's absolutely tapped out by now.

Not really. You're maybe talking about Original Sin, but Divinity still has plenty to explore.

 

[ferratilis]

A few more reviews, and Swen can teabag Miyamoto, all day long.

I've been a bit of a Larian fan since DivDiv. The thing is, I really dislike the goofy side of them, but I've always appreciated the attention to detail/reactivity and immersion side of what they do, and the fact that they take risks and try things out. It was always evident that they have a commitment to giving players value for money (which I suppose must be carried through in the company culture through personnel changes).

Swen mentioned Ultima 7 as the example of game he was going after, especially with Original Sin, which seems like the type of game he always wanted to do.

New GeForce driver for BG3 out now btw.

Yeah the setting’s recommended for the old one were… not good.

That's the tragedy. Funcom pretty much nailed the overall aesthetics of the setting in both AoC and Exiles, but they don't do turn based CRPGs. Shame.
