Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Desiderius]

"You won’t be waiting long for Patch 2, which is right around the corner."

So EA never actually ended. When the fuck am I allowed to play this game? I don't want to beta test EA 2.0.

This is your world on legal weed.

Halsin made me wish I just let the goblins murder everyone in his stupid grove. I knew I should have gone for Minthara instead.

She gave me the quest to destroy the grove. The goblin shaman was dumb and poisoned me despite I accepted even the mark but she was sliced by a random babe that appeared from nothing. The other two leaders (the drow and the hobgoblin) are civilized.

Hobgob got lit up from the rafters so didn't have much to say. Man that fight has a helluva set up.

Welcome to early access+

BTW, am i the only one who finds this ability to just pick up every random junk pointless?

I understand muh Ultima or whatever but it just made looting stuff obnoxious since you have to sift through a ton of garbage to pick up the stuff that's actually valuable don't see the attraction of it to be honest.

Finaly bought it on steam and started playing. Until now it's not that gay. Hopefully it stays that way.

Embrace the gayness. It is worth every bite of the pillow.

 

[Avarize]

Increased players' HP bonus in Explorer Mode from +50% to +100%.

I just don't understand how it's possible that this was necessary. Tactician is already so easy 90% of the time for me and I'm a mediocre player at best.

[Modron]

The actual cope is not even playing the game then coming here to bitch about it. lul ur game sux anyway.

Fedora has been playing this for like 3 weeks straight now. When are you going to learn that the people who yell the loudest about slop consume the most?

With my completionism and restartitis I have yet to see any other than finding a lesbo note and Asstarion acting like a flamer, which fits his character. It's there on some dialogue options where it shouldn't be, but no raype yet.

Of course they put it front and center on the patch notes.

When are you fixing Dungeon Delver? Nature's something staff ability Fly Trap also randomly triggers from range breaking Concentration.

Define "gayest dialogue options".

Making every male character smoke pole is just stupid. I think there's a subconscious urge to make the ghey so annoying that the taboo gets restored.

The one where the wizard who has been ogling you asks you to come with him to a private place where he can show you some "magic".

I guess as a kid you would have gotten into the van with the strange man who offered you gummi bears.

So has anyone here played as Gale or Lae'zel origin characters? Just curious about the reactivity/experience from their POV.

Never even got there lmao. All the sex shit is gated behind the party sequence so even though i got a ton of approval with Gale for playing lawful good his advances are still locked away.

BTW, companions being gay (both in a literal and figurative sense) is part of the reason i lost interest. They are just all so terrible. Karlach was the last straw not only is her dialog turbo cringe with all the fuck this and fuck that but she also has an infernal engine inside her? Another one? So now we got two variations of the same shit between her and Gale?

It's like this game is written by people who don't actually find the setting interesting at all and so they have to bump the DnDness to the max or else the setting would feel boring for them. All those companons are written like shit from an high level campaign and yet they are all level 1.

Just today i saw some people commenting that the skelly respec guy is Jergal. Ho really now, you get to have a god just idling by in your camp? Is that what we are doing now?

And here i was thinking the Bhaal shit in BG was cringe.

I played a few levels as Gale. You have a narrated inner monologue (not actually voiced), like Dark Urge has, on some rests, and an early visit by your familiar bringing you a ring to consume.

Would just expect someone who constantly tells people to stop touching poop would not be touching that poop the whole time and planning on continuing to touch the poop for another 50 hours, that's all.

Game being over the top from the start is one of the reasons it achieved tremendous success

Who gives a fuck Bethesda also achieved "tremedous success" and their games after Morrowing have ZERO reedeming qualities. I remember trying Oblivion and Fallout 3 and EVERYTHING was shit in them, and i mean everything. Gameplay was shit, writing was utter retardation defined, quest design was beyond fucking moronic. Yet, this company full of amateurs and hacks also had "tremendous success" and God only knows why.

No?

Oh sweet summer child, you vastly underestimate how bad some people are at virtually anything.

I read a reddit thread the other day of someone asking a simple question that could be answered by simply reading a tooltip. When people explained, he just kept asking 'why?' the deeper the conversation went, when every question he asked was literally explained in the next tooltip.

How some people manage to live without a voice whispering in their ears to breath in and out, is beyond me.

I'm sure Plumbers are just scat fetishists and want to fuck pipes.
