You know what's ironic? Despite Larian being butthurt about people making WHITE MALE HUMAN FIGHTERS, that's probably the most appropriate character for the story. The Chosen are human (I guess Ketheric is a Half-Elf?), ceremorphosis works best on humanoids (so Svirfneblin etc should be outright not be available to be honest), the MC is usually from Baldur's Gate and despite all the ~most diverse city~ shit it's still mainly human.

Gortash is very much a weirdo, otoh.
A weirdo, but a bro. :love: Larian did him dirty with that ending.
Guy was murdered in multiple ways, his coronation was in a fucking bridge prison. If you decide to fight him its the only of the three that get no power up so Bane told him to eat a dick and if you decide to ally with him the BBEG just zap him like a fly.

Strap Yourselves In

the game's OST peaked here.

Meh. When I was playing this, I had to turn off the soundtrack very quickly into character creation because of how terrible the menu song is. I left the music off the whole time from beginning to the uninstall point.


Music's the least of the game's problems. Most of it's good. The male choir "aaah-oh" right at the beginning give a bad impression, but there's a lot of variety and some nice choons here and there throughout the game. There are even a few callbacks to Kirill's music (e.g. that strange sampled violin sound here and there, things like that).

It's generic like the rest of the game. I wouldn't even call it good.


How would you know if you shut it off?

I heard the opening theme and I took a look at the soundtrack on youtube. It's generic.


Some of it is, a lot of it isn't. For instance one of three underdark themes is very original, with its angular descending theme and perpetual motion rhythm - very reminiscent of a Krill Pokrovsky kind of composition.

Which is very generic.

It's funny how someone like MerchantKing complains about degeneracy. Given his obsession, shitty rp at least looks like he has fetishes for short people and that's assuming the best scenario.

I'm 10 minutes into starfield and nobody has tried to sexually molest me and no bears are trying to fuck me.. 4/10

Not sure about this game.. BG3 wins bear-chads.
Just give it a few months post-launch when sex mods save the game.

After i got around and played it for 1 week i changed my mind about BG3. It's great.

Kudos to Larian for making a great game in an era of bland and mediocre RPGs. I give it 9/10 and a game that deserves to be bought even by people like us who live in torrent paradises :)

Enver Gortash does receive his superhero transformation into the "avatar of tyranny" during the combat, but not until the third round and it doesn't grant him that much extra HP, so he should die quickly in that form, even if the player hasn't managed to kill him quickly enough for the transformation not to occur.

It's almost as if most woke shit are just lazily filling a corporate checklist

Since South Korea is ran by a feminist psycho cult this is a rare moment of truth in fiction from Swen and company, all the drow should be Koreans. It's almost as true to life as the hooknosed jewish hag that's reportedly in the game. Don't get fooled though, Larian isn't based and it was probably just an oversight due to a rushed development. This is an ESG game first and foremost.
