Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Perkel]

Really hate armor design. It is like they never saw any armor in their life. Reminds me a lot Neverwinter Nights with those designs. Chain on armors is the worst. And they look like amateur modder work. Metal also has this weird "glow" especially on frog armor that feels more like polished mirror silver than iron/steel.

And there is this Betsheda like NPC character glow on characters regardless in what lighting they are. You can especially see that on that black guy as he stands in full sun and you can still see white light rim at the edges. I see it often in games and I always mod it out but here it is just atrocious.

Also, Its mom mentions something is annoying to her, and the kid's first idea is to steal the thing?

The kid was trying to stop the ritual that would cause them all to be forced out of the grove, I believe.

Frame rate has to be the most overrated metric ever, especially for RPG or strategy games. I turn of VSYNC and lock frame rate at 50 frames per second so my 3080 does not explode trying to constantly show everything at 300 FPS while I nerd spaz out and compare various +1 and -1 bonus that various types of Armour and weapons will give me in the character screen or turn based combat menus for hours on end...meanwhile my graphics card is smoking trying to realistically display flags and fog and worthogs back and nose hairs blowing in the breeze at 280 FPS...

Well thief got a fucking stake. Bravo on Larian to give me that chance.

Yeah, if this is what you're talking about. There is definitely incline in this game:

I can't believe this gypsy is trying to convince me his child had the right to steal shit?

Like it's part of their culture or something, so everyone should put up. Lol. What does this remind me of, let me think

Your MC looks like the avatar from Ultima, very nice

Spoken like a true retard. Just because you don't have the tech, knowledge or brain cells to appreciate high frame rate doesn't mean it's overrated, you idiot.

 

[Riddler]

Whatever the frame rate maxes out at is irrelevant, having a stable sufficiently high frame rate on the other hand is very important.

I'm fine with 60 FPS or even a bit lower if it's actually stable.

I have all the tech, but burning out my graphics card getting high frame rate on what is mostly just static windows is totally meaningless, nobody cares..lol

 

[Slimu]

How is the combat compared to Solasta's ? Also, are the feats better than in that game?

that is the thing, my computer will try to run it at 250 frames per second and can constantly, but its totally meaningless, and is no different than if I am getting 55 frames per second all the time and the difference in temp is night and day

Unknowingly though. Wait, I found a new signature line

Sex just feels better in 150 fps than 30

Nobody gives a fuck over 80-90 anyway. Diminishing returns kicks in hard, and you're basically just fighting your own FOMO.

 

[Konjad]

Wish I had more time to play, too much stuff going irl I wish I had a week off to enjoy the game, but instead I'm working 7 days a week recently and have to do plenty other stuff

He's right, partially. In a lot of games it makes no sense to run uncapped framerates in the hundreds. It wastes energy and running you GPU at full throttle all the time probably won't contribute to its longevity. In a game with no quick movement and lots of static screens there is little benefit to very high frame rates.

Capping the framerate as low as 50 and disabling vsync is plainly retarded, though.

There's an option to set up a maximum frame rate or not, just use whatever you want, fellas, nobody cares

The graphix are great and the facial expressions are especially noteworthy, because in a Bioware game it would look retarded and derpy as fuck.

Jezus, you feeling alright man?

You actually said something positive about BG3, go to your doctor now.

 

[Zarniwoop]

I'm playing tactician right now and it definitely feels right. General Zhalk is much beefier and harder to kill such that I just ran instead of killing the guy (He sits with 200 hps on tactician). Enemies are just a bit harder to take down.

So they learned from the previous game in the series totally unrelated D:OS 2. Tacticool mode there was ridiculous, just covered everything in armor plates.

You can always trust the Codex for having the biggest collection of autistic angry takes about everything.

"MUH TOILET CHAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

the facial expressions are pretty impressive have to admit

Initial impressions after few hours, no spoilers. I didn't play EA or followed game dev, went in blind.


- 5 edition i something I play first here and so far it seems great. Never liked insane micromanagement of 3.5 ed feats and this feels more like 2nd edition but with bunch more skills than just few or none on fighter.

I've only been telling everyone about this for the better part of a decade or so.

Wow ! I hope everyone is really enjoying Baldurs Gate 3! I know I am!
Shadowheart is my love! Shadowheart is my life ! Iwould do anything for her! God I hope she asks me to be her soulmate! lol!

 

[Jermu]

multiclassing spell progression same as 5e?
haste same as in EA?

also seems like magical secret does not work for pala/ranger/warlock spells so cant get "high level" spells

 

[Volrath]

I made an elf paladin. Sue me.
