Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Desiderius]

There's a ring on a strange ox in the druid grove which gives you +1d4 on all checks while shapeshifted, it works with the Mask of the Shapeshifter, so unconditionally all the time. Not bad.

Lyric Suite Since you still stumble around the Grove, you want might check that out now.

Since i cannot think of anything else to do besides talking to the ox, which i did, i allowed myself to google it, and, i'm a pally, not gonna happen.

Ox says it will meet you in Baldur's Gate so assuming more options will be there, like the chick who makes the bet at top of ladder. I can wait.

Where's the first item which gives easy access to animal dialogue?

The shorty vendor sells one. Effect lasts until long rest, so it's basically a permanent buff while you are exploring the whole druid cove.

He also sells a couple of the ingretients to actually craft the potion, and so does Auntie.

I have eight in inventory now at lvl 3. Game gives them out like candy (although may have pickpocketed half of those from Volo. He also has the Bless on Heal gloves).

 

[Lagole Gon]

Wait, so we never actually visit the Upper City properly?

Huh.

They should have at least make some smaller separated locations in other parts of the city. It would help in making it feel bigger.
I mean, it's big anyway, but I really wanted to see some classic landmark.

I met Jaheira. My god, this is hilarious.

Where the fuck did they get this voice actress? Never imagined Jaheira sounding like a Russian expat wife.

 

[HammyTheFat]

Just had my first game breaking bug. Approaching what I assume is the ketheric final fight door in the mindflayer area, I click the door, it says a conversation starts... and then nothing happens. I can't move, the bubble dialogue is to the left of my character, but no conversation or cutscene is happening.

Reloading to previous saves didnt fix this.

Probably from the same place Minsc keeps boo.

 

[Zayne]

Btw, about Jaheira.

Went to her harper lair and there's an interesting scroll on her table with druidic ritual of eternal youth. At first she refused to discuss it with me, but after we've saved Minsc (or maybe after certain influence threshold) she confessed that thought about becoming young again, because her power slowly fades, but then she met me and I'm such an awesome hero and now Jaheira thinks she can retire in peace because Baldur's Gate is in good hands.

So now I'm curious, if you manage to disappoint her(game hints that it's an option), does she go through with it? And if she does, post pics please.

Soundtrack so far is so-so. Some parts are truly nice. Underdark was good and gave me some NWN-vibes, everything at the mountain pass was exceptional with lots of changing themes.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Bring back plagiarizing movie scores for games please. Soundtracks have no right to be this anemic.

Nah, it really ain't that bad. There are some very nice themes that go along with the sense of adventuring. Also they somehow managed to change the theme of the music accordingly to what's happening on screen. It seems very organic.

I got to the shirtless ilithid dream as well . Thanks to the Codex bros who wanted to see the magic i told Gale to fuck off. But this dream with Emperor is unavoidable i think.

dream talk

- him: i'm so humane even though i'm a tentacle monster
-me: your human impersonation sucks
-him: look in to my mind
-me: no, you're an illithid you will manipulate me
-him: so that's a yes, here's a cutscene
-me: i still don't trust you
-him: you're nothing without me, you are slave RAAAAHGR, dream ends
Ooookay than. When i'm done with Orin, imma dark urge that tentacle fucker.

 

[Eisenheinrich]

I think Larian kinda fucked up with their "Act"-progression. It should be achievement based instead of being based on which location you enter.
End of Act 1 should be the camp celebration after the grove plot.

The way they implemented the Act thing is just ... weird?

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

In my Dark Urge replay, I'm resting more, and still haven't gotten Astarion to admit he was a vampire - probably due to not being far enough along in the story, or maybe my influence is too low.

It was great to visit the tea house and see him lie to the player about being a vampire. He says Cazador is a slaver. Astarion will say the gur lied if the gur says he's hunting a vampire spawn named Astarion too. There's also the wild bore that you find that's been drained of blood.

This is the kind of reactivity I expect from a $60 RPG.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

I think Larian kinda fucked up with their "Act"-progression.

It's just a Steam achievement. The real progression is based on which areas you enter, and it's not really act-based. For example, going to the Western Pass before doing certain quests.

Has to be this way, because quests need to progress by the time you reach Moonrise.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Did the game thought he is my gay lover and prioritized him because of it? I guess the homosex worked in my favour for once.

Why the fuck was fournival my beloved?!​

SPOILERS AHEAD

Spoiler

The whole game I chased after and helped the wife of the duke but at the end, in the final hall, I saw a fat ass old man running from the dragon. At the start I didn't even recognise the fat bastard, I thought he was just a generic NPC but after defeating the dragon and leaving with him, I realized who he was. It is even heavily implied that I had sex with Fournival... My character had sex with Fournival... HOW?!

 

[Eisenheinrich]

It's just a Steam achievement.

Just saying, people are confused where on act ends and the next one starts.

Not as if there was an actual point of no return dividing both acts. So typical of gamers to want to have games divided neatly into chapters for whatever the fuck reason I can't fathom.

I think it's time to stop playing for real now, 50% of notes and books don't show any text.

And quest related NPCs disappear. And some furniture.

Sucker

It's totally artificial but probably because every other IE-Game did that.

Ho sweet summer child:

It was a pretty common thing back then. Even if you payed for something, you could still effectively get B roll from some movie. Not "technically" the movie theme, but some rejected piece that's very similar.

Anyway, my reaction was to the anemic thing. I think the soundtrack, especially the main theme, is decent. It's doesn't blare horns at every point, true. But that's modern music for you.

edit:


The battle music is ok too.

Ho sweet summer child:

Wow, that's lame. Not the soundtrack itself but the blatant copying. I did not know about this?
Why is this incline? That's just a rip off.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Why is this incline? That's just a rip off.

Because it sounds good. But like I said, sometimes this is a result of buying the rights to an old soundtrack, or to an unused version of an old soundtrack.

In my game, Astarion admitted to me that he's a vampire in a conversation in camp.

Then after couple more hours, when I encountered the hunter and talked to him about it, he denied being a vamp and said the hunter lied, acting as if the previous conversation never happened.

Then he tried to bite me at night, and my character acted like it's complete news to him that Astarion is a vampire.

This is the kind of reactivity I expect from a $60 RPG. Amazin
