Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Nerevar]

This is my favourite song that has ever been in a Larian game.

This is my favourite song that has ever been in a Larian game.

I definitely like it more.

 

[Alienman]

The devil boss fight theme song is both funny and good. Had to take a break in the fighting to hear the lyrics.

Spoiler

My favorite piece in the game. Like that character overall. He should have been the main villain.

 

[Eisenheinrich]

The soundtrack is perfectly fine and the main theme is catchy. I just happened to have heard the BG1 and BG2 main theme like 2000 times more. And that's the whole gist of it.

 

[MerchantKing]

There's a difference between woke and cringe? BTW, have women warriors is woke.

 

[Eisenheinrich]

There's a difference between woke and cringe?

Easy. You're not woke, yet so cringe.

By the way, I wonder how much the new patch will weigh if Sven promised 1k bugs fixed.

 

[Elthosian]

The schrondinger game. Incline on one hand, utter degenracy on the other, manages to piss off pretty much everybody, conservatives because of the woke bullshit, some journos for being teh hard to play, corporate shills because they don't like a game that doesn't follow their hollow corporate model to be this successful.

This game is basically in a perpetual state of being both good and terrible at the same time.

Thankfully I don't give a shit about the West and its contemporary cultural issues, getting a lot of fun out of this just as I will get it from Colony Ship and whatever woke or non-woke game comes out in the future. My crusade is against the popamole and the graphicswhores alone

"Normal woman"

Apparently she's the only female romance option that is willing to fuck the bear and literally everything else. Surprisingly, the most "normal" and traditional romance in the long run, is probably the fucking frog bitch.

RPGs are an interactive genre. If you don't like one branch the story can take, why go that way?

Also, you even can play as her and fuck everyone you find.

 

[Herumor]

Then shit gets interesting but in a bad way. Suddenly, only Illithid can unleash the full power of Netherstones. I wonder if Karsus knew.

You misunderstood that part. It's not that only Illithids can use the Netherstones, it's just that when you're going up against an Elder Brain, only an Illithid can even begin to have hopes of fighting against it - though how that makes sense, especially since 99.9% of Mind Flayers tend to be enthralled by an Elder Brain when in their vicinity, I have no idea.

Failed to dominate the Netherbrain even though I rolled natural 20 on last check(no reloads, 1 inspiration, was willing to spend 2).

Yes, but the difficulty check was 99, so your 20 didn't count for shit.

By this point it's pretty obvious that most devs in the capacity to do something like BG3 will try to ride the wave of its work on animations, wacky romances and other stuff. I hope I'm wrong but I don't see Bioware implementing immersive sim level design for their future games.

The best outcome here is BG3 motivating new players to try things like Pathfinder, UnderRail, AOD, but I'd say that for many of these newbies the enjoyment has come from having a lot of freedom PLUS the shiny graphicz and animations to want to, which is kinda sad. And of course, a lot of people jumped into the bandwagon because of the "no DLC, no season pass, feature complete" takes and while these are good for the industry in general it won't necessarily lead to better CRPGs.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Since we're posting BG2 music, my favorite combat track is the dragon fights:

 

[mastroego]

I wonder why in literally every rpg black is always the most boring character? Is this some kind of requirement?

If you wanted proof that the game is woke, this is it, more than the bear stuff and everything else.
At this point we can all spot the woke blueprint for a black character from a single frame.

That's because you are fucking retard.

 

[gurugeorge]

Poor guy lol.

It was an interesting interview, for an interview with a writer, which rarely turn out very interesting for players. It had some reveals about Minthara though.

Poor guy because he had to talk to two women. That sure is a nightmarish thought around here.

No, poor guy because he has to conform to woke bullshit and can't tell stories freely.

Who really cares what Bioware copies? Everyone knows that whatever they do will most likely end up in shit.
How long has Dreadwolf been in the making? Will it be 4 or 5 years?
There is still absolutely nothing known about this game. They have shown absolutely nothing to prove that this game exists.

 

[Eisenheinrich]

There is still absolutely nothing known about this game.

there was leaked gameplay showing combat looking like shit.

Fun fact: despite the game having a Fly spell it doesn't let you freely fly or simply hover mid air. Instead it serves as glorified jump.

Funny, if BG3 taught me anything, its that jumping is completely OP

Verticality in BG3 suffers from a deficiency of the game engine that limits creatures to standing on surfaces; flight, levitation, misty step, and other abilities serve only to move from one surface to another, akin to jumping (which is, of course, quite useful). Solasta, by contrast, permits actual flight, with creatures/PCs/NPCs altering their distance from the ground below them, and even allows wall-crawling for some creatures (and PCs/NPCs via a particular magic spell).

Despite the massive funding of BG3 relative to Solasta, it seems Larian had worse programmers.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

I asked you this question to force you to

You're not forcing me to do anything I haven't already done.

 

[Tyranicon]

Sometimes reddit provides.

My favorite piece in the game. Like that character overall. He should have been the main villain.

Raph is too much of a mustache twirler to be a good main villain. He doesn't actually cause the player any obvious harm for most of the game. He's just evil and has selfish ambitions in the long-term.

 

[Zeltak]

I completely agree with whoever that guy was who said the combat in this game is good on an conceptual level but that the challenge just isn't there. I was sleepwalking through the game after lvl 5 with haste + fighter. That was literally my strategy for every encounter. It's strange how much effort they put into making unique encounters but didn't give the encounters a mean to survive past 2 rounds. I'm talking about tactician difficulty here.
