Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[AwesomeButton]

How many years have I heard people complain about crappy writing? Writing in crpg games is almost always crap.
Let's not pretend otherwise.
BG1 had an almost non-existent plot for most of the game (until reaching bg).
Poe is complete
shit that's extremely boring. Deadfire was marginally better because the voice acting limited the amount of crappy writing.

Paper-thin or boring =/= Insultingly stupid
BG3 is the latter

The difference between the two is just the reader's disposition.

The truth is that throughout much of our lives our young age has shielded us from realizing how bad writing is in any media.

That's an explanation, not an excuse.

Terry Eagleton I think had said that even a bus ticket could be read as literature, in the right context. But come to think of it, I don't know if he has read anything of BG3

If BG3 were a bus ticket...

In the outskirts area, past Act II.




I killed a random Sharran guy who recognizes SH, after he had told me he will alert the local Sharran branch he has seen her, and then broke off conversation. The crime system kicked in and I rolled a 20 on an intimidation check, so I was let go. Taking your bets on whether there will be reactivity to him never managing to break the news.

Accidently aggroed whole gob temple by triggering crime check that I missed, including merchant I'd just invested a bunch of gold in who simply disappeared. Didn't realize it until after letting spiders out. Or maybe that aggroed them.

The writing is crap although the presentation is good enough to watch and play.
Compared to such PoE, I was literally struggling to get through the game. It's not a question of voice acting because I had the same thing with the outer worlds

They actually made Lae'zel less porny:

 

[La vie sexuelle]

Nipples horror, I suppose. Americans are afraid of them.

The game has full on nudity what are you schizos talking about

About objective change in game? You, that's one from patch notes.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

That almost normal nose is indeed indecently sensual.

 

[Sunri]

Im done with my second playtrough this time on tactician i had to repeat final boss battle few times before i realized that you can call allies and summon around 20 friendly npcs and use aerial dragon strikes i was wondering where everyone is lmao time to take break and play something else, lets hope they release game for peasant on consoles and start adding cut content soon.

Does the patch restore companion functionality? Namely Minthara who's apparently contentless after act 1.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

It apparently makes her clothing marginally more functional (but also less interesting).

Does that count?

• Fixed the dialogue flow when dating Minthara.

Uh, maybe?

 

[Heroic Liberator]

So apparently this was supposed to be the 'full ceremonial armor of the Absolute' worn by Ketheric Thorm:

Wish we could actually get that in game rather than his lame vanilla armor. That helm in particular is glorious.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Oh. I completely forgot I can summon allies during the finale. Oops.

No real use for psionics? Are you just ignoring Dark Sun?

 

[Sunri]

No, before patch you could ask her about companions infinite times after patch you can do it only once i didnt get any new dialogue options but Mintara have content after act 1 she will comment on important things and have her own quest related to Orin, but there is no more romance

 

[Heroic Liberator]

but there is no more romance

Are you 100% sure? It might just require a clean playthrough since prior saves might retain bugged checks on her romance progress even when patched.

Dark Sun makes Psionics viable by murdering Divine and Arcane magic, so...

 

[fantadomat]

The writing is soo fucking bad,it is DOS 2 on steroids. Quests just don't fallow any continuity lol. People constantly talk to me about how i did x quest for them even if i didn't. A few days back while exploring the underdark met some weird gnome bitch with a powderkeg,persuaded her and she went off in the dark,thus i forgot about her existence. Now in chapter 3 some weird goblin bitch whines that i did a quest for the powderkeg one which involved breaking up with the weird gnom lesbian. Took me like 10 minutes to remember that it was the powderkeg weido she was talking about lol. Quests are just broken and dog shit all around.

 

[lukaszek]

so far act2 is pure joy to play. Cool bosses mechanics, secrets, exploration, story bits.
If you didnt find lantern so early on it would be perfection.

To be fair, this isn't a gith. This looks like a random cosplayer thot doing body paint. Gith are like slenderman.

Yeah but all the items are borderline worthless in the game,it is one of the worst itemazation i have seen in a game.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Also, dunno if bug or working as intended, but if you start as a Drow Dark Urge, you retain the Underdark tag and don't get the Baldurian one.

Well original ones looked more like skeletals than humans.
