Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Lyric Suite]

Making Wyll white isn't going to make him any less of a shitty character so i don't care.

Agree, for characters with a defined character that mod doesn't change the experience at all. I think such a mod would be a nice-to-have cosmetic mod if it changes pedestrian and minor characters whose being black just throws you off from any feeling of immersion you might have. I'd happily race-swap black characters in the Last Light area (you'll reach it and you'll see). I'm not at the city yet, but I'd race swap there as well.

With the caveat that cynical old farts who have been playing games for 30 years, already need to actively put efforts into not trying to deconstruct the game they're playing. They have problems being immersed which wouldn't go away by just installing a race swap mod.

It's just my preference not to have token black characters in my medieval fantasy RPG. I don't interfere with how anyone else is playing, and I'm not advocating everyone should play this way, so live and let live.

If they wanted something that could make the game better they should replace all the black human characters with white people.

That would at least make the setting somewhat more consistent, all though that wouldn't solve the issue with all the other races and tieflings and shit like that being everywhere too, but it would be a start.

Changing Wyll to a white guy by contrast serves no purpose.

The black duke is not a 3e character?

So I reached Level 5, I expect the game to turn into a cakewalk now or I will be deeply disappointed. Also that fire in the inn was a cool diversion, never had something like this in an RPG.

Oh boy, and I thought I was behind with playing.

I take my time

Camera, movement and UI are worse than in NWN2.
Inform racofer, he must know.

Playing slow is a good thing, they'll probably have fixed a bunch of the stuff that's annoying fast players by the time you get to the end

often times I click somewhere and the game registers it as a click on a higher floor. How hard can good camera controls be in 2023

Seems to be a D&D tradition.

Hmmm lest make a fun turn based game with 15 monsters spawning every turn

lategame battle

 

[Lyre Mors]

You should stop playing the game, it seems to drive you crazy. I mean crazier than usual

But he was just dipping into the character creator to see "how far down the rabbit hole" it goes! Except now he just can't stop playing it! Or posting about it! Or obsessing about it!

Typical codex edgelord. Hypocritical and completely lacking in self-awareness.

Chain lightning works wonders.

just keep running up lmao

as much as i like the game it could've def use at least 6 more months of dev time
standards for quality are so low nowdays it gets a pass

Completely agree... final Act of the game is really bugged. Ending felt pretty rushed, some of my companions only had like a single line to say, some choices in the end lead to clearly underdeveloped outcomes.
There arent even ending slides to show what happens after.
Some people datamined the game and found out a lot of content that was cut out from the part of the game, including a scene where Withers would gather the whole party 6 months after the final battle and narrate what happened...

Ending slides are super easy to make.

Just do something along the lines of Shadowheart is: [alive/dead], if alive = [still hopping on your dick/not hopping on your dick and sad] + [companion quest result].

Apparently ending slides might be a thing.

What else do you expect?

Why would you need slides like this? end game conversation explain as much lol

Whoops, you ninja'ed my edit. No, this is what I'm happy with.

They should do this.

My game got bugged and all I got was Gale saying basically he'll fuck off now. :/

Then I got some weird post-coitus convo from shadowheart despite never having had sex with her.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Why wouldn't you? They can expand on what happens to both characters, factions, places etc etc and it's quite cheap to implement. No excuse not to.

 

[Rhobar121]

It's interesting that they obviously had it in their plans but for some reason they didn't make it to the premiere which is weird as hell.
I assume both artists and writers don't patch the game after hours, so what could have happened?
Maybe something went wrong and it doesn't work.

Wait this fucking guy just reached lvl 5 and have been commenting on why everyone’s takes on the shit writing or companions are wrong? Lmao. People should be required to state where they are in the game before posting.

The game's greatest defenders seem to be the slowest to play it. Odd, huh?

 

[Fedora Master]

GUYS GUYS I JUST REACHED THE DRUID ENCLAVE THIS GAME OWNS! SPENT 34 HOURS ON MAKING MY FUTA DROW WAIFU AND FUCKED GALE! WHY IS EVERYONE SO UPSET HAHA!

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

i finished it

I had no idea you were a tranny fan.

Almost as odd as the greatest haters ravenously devouring the game. Maybe someone who knows how to enjoy something understands that glutting oneself will lead to nausea regardless of how delicious the meal may be.

Employment tends to get in the way too, but you wouldn't know about that, would you?
