Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[whydoibother]

NWN2 OC was a trainwreck from start to finish most people were soured by it WAY before the ending.

Speaking of which, this game would have been ten times better if he and some of the old Black Isle or pre-exodus Obsidian gang had been in the writing team.

Good old Lyric "I complain about everything always" Suite.

Nice clipping, ASSHOLES

Yeah, no. A terrible ending can sour the rest of the journey.

Neverwinter Nights 2 main campaign. Rocks fall, everyone dies LOL

Same with BG3. The beginning of Act 3 soured me, and that's many hours before the end.

To be fair, that helmet looks retarded on everyone. The flawless version is much superior:

Which part soured it for you, exactly?
The performance was bleh, the few quests before the gate are meh. The introduction to the shapeshifters is cool. And in the city, a lot of the stuff is great: the Bhaal stuff, serial murders, Cazador's palace, Raphael's Mansion, the wizard tower, are all very good. Raphael's boss fight and theme music is the height of the game.

Amateurs, both of you. Half of the helmets I wore floated statically, detached from my head, in the sky.

In regards to the leaks I found Minthara pregnancy shit to be the most interesting, I wonder if they'll put that back in or if that got cut for good. It's pretty funny that there are two separate flags though, one where the kid is yours and one where it isn't which I assume is the lesbian version of the romance.

 

[Latro]

Why not just hire a real writing team

Oh yeah the mythical good writers that exist somewhere. I've been 5 steps ahead of you years ago when I've started my anti-storyfaggot genocide crusade.

Typical writer who's out there on the job market has a literature degree of some kind. What kind of stuff is he being taught there you can figure out yourself. Typical recent, new published author, and that includes genre fiction is a woman in her late 20's to early 30's writing ultra woke slop(did you know about this trope-ridden story? How about it, but the MC is a lesbian?). Those who will want to adjust themselves to work with a game dev studio in multi-writer team are also on the lower end of the already abysmal quality there. Outside of them you will have gigantic problems finding people who's skill as a writer or an ability to deliver a finished script on time can be confirmed in any sort of objective manner.

This doesn't even touch the fact that you may pick up the most skilled and talented writer in the world but due to the particularities of a creative process you're not guaranteed good output, but again that's like me in 2016 writing anti-storyfaggot screeds all over this website and getting thrown into prosperland as a reward for telling the truth.

Most of the cut content looks interesting, especially the missing high-town area (don't care about Avernus). I really hope that Larian also makes a 'definitive edition' for BG3 with most of the known cut content restored. I personally think the current game is really good, but the cut corners are very noticeable.

 

[whydoibother]

I hope Wizard smells money and pushes Larian to make a GOOD dungeon creator set, so we can have custom modules.
The player profile save system already has folders for different campaigns stories, whatever that means.

I'll also bet you 20 Codex potato's that WoTC is paying a lot of attention to BG3's success, compared to the failed movie attempt, and will look to add single-player/non-dm mode to their D&D online tabletop tools.

If they smell money they will probably push Larian to make (cosmetic) DLCs

From Horse Armor to new lingerie for Shadowheart.

 

[Orud]

new lingerie for Shadowheart.

Yeah, even half of the codex would buy this 'ironically'.

 

[Rhobar121]

Of course, then the SDG will appear and upload a video of him buying all the dlc trying to pretend he's not retarded.

 

[Parabalus]

Is the ending really a single scene?

I just want to know if the reason they cut the Minthara storyline is due to woke infiltraters or not

He posted the Grymforge helmet you get from the boss fight, not Flawed Helldusk.

 

[dbx]

So the hot dream mommy is a squid? Why even give the option to customize her?

The trannyfication of a generation. All those degenerates who want to fuck hot dream mommy only to discover it's the squid version of an old male hero.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Yeah, no. A terrible ending can sour the rest of the journey.

Neverwinter Nights 2 main campaign. Rocks fall, everyone dies LOL

13) Epilogues - Full epilogue cutscenes have been datamined that varied greatly depending on your choices. These were the "17K ending variations" that Larian told us about, yet they are completely absent in the final game leading only to a fade to black scene at the end of the game.

Wait, is this true? WTF?

Even the trannyfinder games had nice epilogues and Larian's ULTRA GOTY BEST RPG EVAH gives you a fade to black scene at endgame?

I imagine this post is either exagerated, poorly written or both - and that you actually get some kind of ending/epilogue for the companions and decisions you made along the way. Right?

No, there's literally nothing. Just a short cutscene after the last battle and a short cutscene after credits

That ending...

Spoiler

ROCKED

 

[volklore]

So a great first act, and good second act and a messy rushed out third act in a big city ? Sounds like larian alright.

Depending on the ending you won't even get the after credits one.

If you skip everything in A3 but the main quest you will still hit level 12 during the final part.

The story isn't as bad as people here make it out to be.

Game will make for a great definitive edition in 2 years too.
