Depends on your definition of saving

No. It's even gayer than before.

See, Larian still hasn't managed to help MerchantKing accept his gayness. But the more he plays...

Literally the first person you might speak with in the city:

Of course they do this to troll normal people, and for no other reason. My guess is they held on until Act 3 to go into full force because they knew by then it would far too late for negative feedback to reach the surface in forums.

In Act 2 they were two gay gnomes.

Act 1, Halsin has a note saying that he's a faggot.

Tyranny from Obsidian had a retarded plot where a woman killed her lesbian wife because she somehow was the heir of the entire town's ownership, and that's somehow how inheritance law work in a Bronze age dark fantasy world.

And Pathfinder : WOTR has gay marriage in a world with crusades against real demons.

 

[Robber Baron]

The only really offensive shit so far was the angel and priest lesbian couple, 100% raw cringe from start to finish and you have to endure them if you're doing the good route

What is it with Larian and the peepee poopoo humor.

 

[Mortmal]

I play with a Ryzen 7 5800x and a RTX 3080ti and the drop in performances in Act 3 is immediately noticeable.
I went from playing at 130-160 fps to struggling to stay above the 50 fps in the lower city.

This might be a dumb question, but do you guys have some tool for FPS counting always on in the background?

You can easily view them directly within the Steam settings. Head to the "In-Game" tab and you'll find the FPS counter option there.The game starts at a smooth 144 FPS on extreme settings. However, as you progress through Act 3, particularly during the courtyard battle (which you'll recognize when you encounter it), the frame rate drops significantly to around 30 FPS.

And then there's the bisexual orc cuck with his bisexual girlfriend in Kingmaker.

 

[skaraher]

Kingmaker is surprisingly un-woke for the most part. The orc cuck writer ended up as one the main character writers for WOTR though, he's a self proclaimed brony and did his college thesis on anime.

Can't save gaming from the gamers themselves.

There is worse than that. The aasimar is pretty much on point as an aasimar character, as I've noted previously.

Who even calls this "humor", of whatever kind?

 

[Be Kind Rewind]

Seems that the brown special needs "people" in the shill cringe division have started to falter even here in their copium den, maybe they're having post-nut clarity over the cavalcade of faggy shit they've been jerking themselves blind too finally came to them, or they saw the unfinished third act, perhaps Larian turned off the shill funding tap and we can expect the obnoxious account that got made just to shill BG3 and its politics will become inactive soon. Only Braunken Von Schwarzkopf and the spelling bee champion tranny is left.

"This inn is as cleen as an elven arse" Bg1

Yes, we all know, I actually specifically came here to say that Dragon Age is just as dogshit and Larian cribbed a lot of their cringe and politics from that series. Notice however that asses were clean in BG1, it's only after the Blackrock dildo had been launched that it turns into a literal shitty mess in BG3. Baldur's Gate was never good, Dragon Age was trash, somehow BG3 has managed to sink even lower. You can climb back onto your dilation station now, turktranny.

So... has Larian finally saved gaming or what?

This is my honest reaction.

My honest reaction

Kingmaker is surprisingly un-woke for the most part. The orc cuck writer ended up as one the main character writers for WOTR though, he's a self proclaimed brony and did his college thesis on anime.

It happened because they had no more money and time. I guess you didn't read the interview where they admitted they wanted to put in the whole tranny dwarf quest. As I've said many times, the only thing holding Owlcat back is lack of money.
I can't wait for them to release their Russian ME.

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

It seems to me bg3 keeps winning.

One of the reasons why we trimmed the epilogue is because we were afraid the ending cinematics were becoming too long and would detract from the epicness of the experience. But clearly, not everyone agrees with us! So we’re going to do something about it.

Lol. "So we removed everything". Not sure how they define EPICNESS, but I think part of the epicness is to have a proper epilogue matching the mastodon length of the game.

 

[Tenebris]

This is pathetic.

 

[Barbarian]

Blizzard level PR.

"Guys we had this 15 minute epilogue we were pumping on the press two weeks before release, but we decided to cut it because it was too epic and you would not enjoy it."

Larian sometimes has odd takes on things as much i love bg3 there are things they did i dont support.
For instance missing the Ready action and the Dodge reaction and switch some Actions such a shove as secondary action. It will probably all be fixed but is not the first tine Larian has to slam the face on a wall before doing changes.

 

[perfectslumbers]

If this really is what they intended and planned long before release then it's pretty sad. The game feels so unfinished that the entire community was huffing "last minute cut content," copium but I guess that's not the case

 

[Barbarian]

Probably PR move, something which Larian seems to be(mostly) very good at.

I can't picture a way of coming out and saying "yeah, we cut a ton of shit just weeks before release" and getting smiling faces in response.

Adding back stuff like the upper city is also probably a task immensely bigger than it was cutting it.

Epilogue stuff is pretty shameful though. At least they say they are somewhat adding it back.
