Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

BTW, i talked to the goblin captive and of course the "Absolute" (lul) is a female goddess. I have a feeling this will be one of many times a powerful figure is always going to be a wombyn.

Meh, The Absolute is just a

proxy.

godess but something different.

As for main villains in the game, most of them are

male

.

But I guess that's also somehow pozzed. Because everything is woke. Everything is pozzed and you have to point it all out.

but it is female

That's a core trope of a hive mind tho and not a woke insert. I swear, people around here are just inventing stuff on the fly in their head just to get pissed off artificially.

i dont care about woke just saying it has female voice and mouth pussy

Beat the game yesterday and just realised I never actually got to use the horn that summons the ogres from the first act in the game.
During act 1 I kept holding onto it because I figured there'd be a time where I'd need it, but by the time I had ventured into act 2 I forgot that I even had it. Use your items, people!

You can't even use it after act one it just says that you are far beyond ogre ears

Same. There's a lot of similar items later that I also forgot yo use. The sheer amount of stuff you can use gets a bit silly.

After finishing up some companion quests in chapter 3, I have to say that playing as a custom character, you do feel more like a sidekick than anything else. There is nothing really unique about you since everyone else has to same experience, and then something unique on top of that. I'm still kinda unsure about my character's motivation, to be honest.

I read that like you miss being The Chose One.

Took down Raphael in the house of hope. Pretty disappointed with how easy he is since it seems he's supposed to be an optional extra difficult boss.

 

[Eisenheinrich]

Any verdict on the general itemization so far? Act 2 now and it's miles ahead of something like Pillars.
I do miss the oldschool "one +1 weapon" feels really special vibe, but many items enable a lot of buildfaggotry if that's your cup of tea.

Wyll's quest turns from boring to absolute dogshit

Spoiler

There's no option to tell his dad that you agree with him that Wyll did the wrong thing, and the dad instantly goes "oh, you sold your soul to save BG? All is well then." Essentially, the game does not recognize that one can disagree with Wyll's choice at all.

To top it all off, the game bugs out if you save Ravenguard despite saying FUCK OFF to Mizora. It essentially then thinks you did actually make the deal with Mizora.

Honestly, I disliked Wyll as a character the moment I met him. I don't know how well he is written, but he is one of those characters I don't want to see succeeding, I want to see on the ground being kicked.

This guy...

What a garbage game.

There's a reason why I never play any bioware games after BG1+2

Have you been hit on the head with a rock recently?

Lmao, welp, i'm actually starting to like Gale. Fucking gay shit can't even have a nice platonic bromance.

I warned you not to play this game, I told you what would happen!

There are some very good items, especially accessories like belts and rings that remain useful the entire game but it is sometimes difficult to sift through all the stuff you end up finding. Weapons however seem to be rather boring. For example I've not found any polearms that are particularly interesting. Best I have is a halberd with extra force damage.

A lot of the conditional effects just aren't worth paying attention to because most fights are over within 3 rounds anyway.
For example there are items that trigger on "if the enemy has 5 stacks of x" but the vast majority of enemies don't survive that long.

NuDnD has this obsession with differentiating sex and gender, so you get "female" Illithids despite them being an asexual race.

Mind flayers are hermaphrodites as per AD&D 2E's Monstrous Compendium/Manual.

Can't believe it's Larian that's forcing The Cuckdex to have an identity crisis.

Being forced to use the DND system is probably one of the best things that could happen to Larian because it forces them to not make retarded Diablo weapons with randomised stat spreads and level scaling

Well when Larian pulls actually a great crpg that is bound to happen. Of course you still have naysayers but well haters gonna hate.

You're a retard as evidenced in this thread. I'll take your opinion about as seriously as SDG's dating advice.

 

[Herumor]

Speaking of items in Baldur's Gate 3, is there a full list of legendary items available in the game so far? I found quite a lot, but it wouldn't surprise me if i I missed some as well.

So far, I'm loving the Balduran Giantslayer and Helldusk armor.

I think Wyll could be kinda interesting when you are playing as him but the character is annoying and cringe.

No, but it feels weird having everyone around you connected to gods and whatnot, while you... are just some hang-around? The mystra quest was hilarious. "Sorry, mate, you can't follow and meet the god of magic". While being a wizard myself.

Spoiler

Just had to patiently wait for Gale to finish up.

I don't mind having companions actually fleshed out and have an agency of their own, but the setting is already very epic without giving the player anything cool to play around with. There is nothing personal to look forward to.

I would argue it's the exact opposite: all the companions feel overdone, like they all have sprawling backstories that could be stand-alone adventures in and of themselves. I think having to fight for your life with an alien brainworm in your skull should be enough of a plot hook, but apparently the nautiloid was calibrated to only pick up people who were super special magick awesome.

That's true, but considering how the story is told, why not make for example Shadowhearts quest part of the priest's background somehow? I think it would be more interesting having a personal connection to something, instead of a companion. I'm playing a wizard, and apparently my guy is not interested at all in the wonders at that magical library, only Gale is.
