Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Desiderius]

The people who want flat stat checks are those that can't stop themselves from obsessively reloading instead of rolling with what the game gave them. Neither way is wrong, but dice rolls keeps things more dynamic and entertaining and makes sure replays are more interesting because you can see new things

Yeah, I tend to savescum to some extent while exploring game then tinman subsequent playthroughs where I have a better idea of what I'm missing.

Anyone playing english version has missing text in books problem?

Because I looted smut books from brothel and I can't read them!

You mean you miss the "gems" like this, showing how much those hacks care about the original? What a tragedy.

You depressed incels could never make a masterpiece, BG3 is better than the old RTWP trash in almost every possible way.

"MUH END OF WESTERN CIVILIZZZATIONN AAAAA!!!"

LMFAO at you tards

Honestly that image is actually pissing me off now and i may end up putting down the game just for that.

I had no idea they were capable of sinking that low. That's all i needed in my life, an image of Xan using his sword as a dildo. And i can already imagine the thought process here. Xan was kinda of a weakling in BG1 right? So let's make him gay, but let's be coy about it so we'll pretend we are making a joke. Isn't it funny? He fucks himself in the ass with his sword when bored so teh hilarity.

This game feels like eating a perfectly good sandwitch except every so often you get a lump of shit in your mouth every time you take a bite. I had some fun talking to the animals and thought the dialog you get with them was pretty BG1 like in humor. Then i gotta see that shit and now my mood is soured.

This is sadly true. Pretty much everyone in the game was hitting on me, including a fucking illithid. Yes, a flirting mind flayer. Like a hamfisted attempt to cram every possible deviation into the game.

lol, also this is not a history book describing historic events. It clearly says "pulp erotica".

But if it comforts you, he's probably just using the hilt.

 

[Desiderius]

The options boil down to either an if/else check "Did you raise your skill enough", or "Random chance + did you raise your skill enough". Whether or not the designer provides you with a quest branch if you lack the skill leve, or respectively failed the check, is up to the designer.

And in the case of D&D, and Baldur's Gate 3, its mostly dice and very little character.
If you try to read the arcane symbols in the tutorial, you roll a d20. If you are an expert on these things, you get, what, +2 to the roll? +4?
So the difference between someone who has no idea, and an expert, is +10-20% chance to succeed in the task. Nice "role playing" game, which almost entirely ignores the role you want to play. Which is stupid, retarded, objectively bad, I'm right, everyone else is wrong. Its math, you can't argue against it.

It's the tutorial. You've had a mindwipe or whatever. It doesn't take long to get way more than that (plus advantage which can halves miss chance and the like). Game actually does a nice job depicting how expertise functions, and at times fails to/leads one astray if you're not caught in minmaxxing DPS powergheyming.

Acts of Karlach as a companion:
The Beginning - "Hey, this isn't so bad. Codexer's were exaggerating."
The Middle - "Okay. She really doesn't act like a person who spent 10 years in hell. Not the best writing."
The End - The horrible realization that she's not a fantasy character. She is the annoying person during a tabletop session.

 

[MerchantKing]

It's not even communicated to you that "learning about the weave" from Gayle is the gay sex option.

This makes me glad I gutted her and moved along, not really needing yet another stronk whaman.

 

[Eisenheinrich]

The End - The horrible realization that she's not a fantasy character. She is the annoying person at the table of tabletop game. Possibly on twitch. She is that jackass who undermines any serious moment with an attempt to be cool or funny.

Yep, everyone is hating on Karlach as soon as act 3 starts. Her premise is good, but the execution is lackluster. Glad I killed her on sight for that sweet Greatsword of Tyr.

 

[Alienman]

Yeah, but I had already done all that in my good playthrough

You tortured the prisoner and helped the Hobgoblin converse with the dead in your GOOD playthrough? WTF?

Good in general terms, he he. However, I saved the prisoner.

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

I liked a lot Shadowheart and Leizel arcs. I like also Wyll but most of it i like Mizora.

 

[Lagole Gon]

I removed Karlach and got Jaheira. Not optimal for my party, but I feel sentimental.

She seems decently written so far.

Mizora is the companion we deserve but never got.

Love me a nice deviless!

Have any reviews mentioned how the game falls off near the end or are journos all charlatans?

Xan is a "Blessed of Corellon" and can troon out at will. Canon.

Dosn't fall off in term of story. Problem is i do believe the game is more focused in the journey than in the end itself and it shows.

 

[Desiderius]

You guys trouble yourselves so much for so little.

Western Civilisation (tm) is at stake, and you call that "so little"!

Nigga, you and Grauken start 10 pages long screeching campaigns whenever someone says anything negative about even the most minor part of the game, like dice system not being perfect for dialogue checks, or tactician being badly balanced.

You are right. Ok, I promise I won't react to even the most inane "Western Civilization is in danger", "our children will become trannies" however suceptible it is to being made fun of.

For the record - I think only poseurs say "Western Civilization", Civilization is only one.

Children are becoming trannies. You can say it's a fad or whatever but to act like its some kind of made up panic isn't exactly sagacious.

German Gamestar is withholding it's final score for the reviewer finishing the game. They already hinted at it being downgraded because of the rushed aspect of the last act.
This is how it should be done Journos.

 

[Swen]

Act 3 is still good, wtf are you fags talking about?

Besides the bugs Act 3 by itself is better than most games released.

Is it good. Tho the ending in the game is rather quick far distant from the long sliders usually we get. Is just different.
