Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Morgoth]

The only thing missing is Kirill Pokrovsky,. His performance on Divine divinity and Divinity 2 was very good. I miss the guy.

Boris > Kirill.

It's annoying not having a manual or a class guide listing what you can get at later levels. Even Solasta did this basic thing fine.

Does anyone know if any additional warlock invocations have been added?

I don't think so

Let me know what you want to know I can test it for you

In 5th edition Pact of the Blade warlocks can take an invocation to get an additional attack at level 5. I'm trying to work out how to build a melee cha focused warlock, but without that additional attack I'll just go straight caster.

Warlocks get Extra Attack, it's from an invocation called Thirsting Blade. Only Pact of the Blade has access. Unless they didn't put it in the game? Which would massively suck.

Truly a Codexian game, starting in a flying

You just reminded me that I have to go earn my small PhD in 5e Build Theorycrafting before I can venture forth beyond character creation...


I miss the old times of clicking randomly on shit to make the level up screens go away

Also, I fucked the frog.

So, how was the cloaca?

Not good. Her face, especially in the intro cutscene, is as sexualized as a gith face can be. But naked they made her look like a frog grandmother, I guess in an effort to make her look strong.

Sanity Loss Warning

Also, minor spoiler to hopefully wash that image from your minds:

Fully-clothed, but weirdly Asian-looking loli Shadowheart

 

[Nerevar]

I guess there won't be many good multiclass builds.

I'm actually surprised full nudity is available in Australia. I would have thought our censors would have disallowed it as they have with so many other games (Even briefly Crusader Kings 3).

Whelp. I guess you did it so we don't have to.

Killing all the feature/stat stacking mechanics was the smart play.

Just LOL at the competition, peak steam numbers (so far):

• Baldur's Gate 3
  • 472,136
• Divinity: Original Sin 2
  • 93,701
• Pillars of Eternity
  • 41,906
• Pillars of Eternity 2
  • 22,724
• Pathfinder: Kingmaker
  • 22,643
• Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
  • 46,724
• Solasta
  • 8,291

Weirdly coincides with the rising number of troons worldwide

Man, Larian really outdoes Bioware in every aspect

I guess because Australia doesn't consider Gith as human or even real?

Cope, it's just a better game.

Played co-op until the druid grove. Massive slowdown (single FPS) problems and visual glitches, version number still showing after all EA files were deleted, but when it works it's pretty fun. Very obvious why the xbox version was delayed until they fix the co-op, it's barely playable on a decent PC.

They knew most PC players don't have friends

Who needs friends when you have a PC?

 

[Gradenmayer]

Keep in mind: Dark Urge goes batshit at the end of act 1 and resisting it forces 18 score wisdom rolls and if you fail them, well… let’s say that’s quite impactful to the story.

It also makes Halflings the best class to resist dark urge with, which is very based.

 

[Zarniwoop]

Stuck in the waifu creation.
Can't decide if she should be a mature drow or a human tomboy.

Gonna go with human I think.

As long as she has Penis B

Damn that's a blast from the past. Haven't played it in nearly two decades but that music stuck with you.

Wonder how many of that original team are still around. (And how many got attrited by the misery of making educational games in the mid-2000s.)

Many left after Divine divinity, the rest left Larian after Divinity 2 ego draconis/Divinity original sin 1.

It's an entirely new team now, aside from Swen.

Who left after Original Sin 1? It's true that few Divine Divinity developers remain, but there's a core team of guys like David Walgrave, Farhang Namdar, etc that have been at Larian for over 15 years.

What happens? Curious to know. Can spoil it for me np.

I found the hideout of tiefling kids, the kid tells me I have to get out before he counts to ten. He counts, then he gets bugged (or is it design?) and just starts endlessly yelling one voiceline *kids, scatter!*, but nothing else happens. I finally attacked him just to shut him up, of course he's immortal, when his hp drops to zero he just runs away while being invulnerable and non-interactable, then comes back after a while and keeps yelling the same line forever. Is this the polish, reactivity and freedom I was promised by Larian fans who played the EA?

I never even touched early access and I get a version number display anyway.

No Monk and Viv Dip ?

A lot of shit. It starts wiping out main story NPCs left and right, and

kills

kills your romanced companion if you don’t pass 3 18 score checks in a row.
