Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Hagashager]

I'm like those dog men fron Christian myth. Furries think the Christian dog men would be furries too, but they're actually the most devout followers and would kill furries on sight.

I think the Emperor scene is meant to be awkward because as you find out if you choose the rude options to turn him down the Emperor isn't actually into it and is just doing it to manipulate you, which makes way more sense than mindflayers getting off if you tug on their tentacles.

Is this game as bad as it looks at first glance?

No, it's worse.

Always go Assassin
Champion is the worst subclass in the game

Interesting, I didn’t know. Champion has been okay so far on tactician, but that doesn’t say much. It seemed like an easy source for the crit for an eventual pivot into assassin.

Know?

That's just, like, an opinion man.

...

That would imply that Larian considers fucking a squid an alluring idea, appropriate as a method of sexual manipulation.

how do you do, fellow baldurs gate 3 players. oh, bear sex again. why i'm not even surprised...

Full turbo build-autism à la Pathfinder is not required (thankfully).

I mean, even if you wanted, it's not like you could. At most, you're going to do what, pick level in three different class for a somewhat subpar difference ? 5e is tailored for normie, not nerd.

And that's a good thing

For making bank, yes, this is pretty obvious and the steam chart are certainly not going to contradict that.

5e introducing concentration to counter retarded buff stacking makes it superior to the old systems alone.

Keep the spreadsheet autism to garbage like Owlcat games.

 

[Fedora Master]

Pathfinder is bloated garbage
5e is dumbed down garbage
But they're both garbage

 

[Cyberarmy]

2e rules supreme!

 

[Yosharian]

Honestly there is quite a lot of build autism in the game, it's just that it's shifted to the insane itemization rather than the classes themselves - although even they can be a bit arcane due to weird implementations and abilities not working as described

So actually no, it's not much less autistic than PF

Although Concentration is a good mechanic for sure, even if people whine about it

Shit system for melee characters and casters were too op, 5e has better balance and less autism

So everything that should matter.

post summary

Keep the following in mind : @ 1,000 C0 PL @ C1, MAGNITUDE = SIZE OR MASS OF KNOWN UNIVERSE, which is about PL or power level that of MU Galactus. In other words, 100 C1 DP = 2 dimensional plane on a universal scale. Next, for LOBO’s C1 DP is (1/2) that of Nova, meaning if you put Nova @ 66 C1 DP, then LOBO be @ 33 C1 DP. But, if you put LOBO @ 33 C1 DP, then you need to put MU Wolverine @ minimum of @ 18 C1 DP, normally @ 19 C1 DP, but his highest rating ever was @ 20 C1 DP, but his power rating decreased over the years, since he first joined the X-Men, when he was @ 20 C1 DP in MU comics, but a rating of 33 C2 DP is thatfor Sabertooth & 66 C2 DP minimum rating forJuggernaut @ MINIMUM. And, RULE # 107 explains it in XDY system, where X = # of dice & Y = # sides for each similar dice, though I suppose you can use different combination of dice to play a or any rpg including HYBRID, for D6, D10, & D20 system, where the 1st # rolled = his C1 DP or default psyche as most common way to create characters, where rolling a 20 on a 1d20 = 20 C1 DP or magnitude for his/her/its soul.

3.5 is garbage if you play melee, that's a fact especially at higher levels. Casters are buff autists

 

[Black]

Nah

3.5E buffed a lot casters from AD&D editions. Some examples :

• No longer wizards need to find scrolls and pass a check to learn spells
• Much more spell slots. A lv 18 specialized wiz with 28 int have 8/7/7/7/7/6/5/5/4 spells of each level. Meanwhile a lv 18 specialist mage in AD&D would have 6/6/6/6/6/4/4/3/2 spells.
• Takes much more xp to level up mainly after lv 10 in 2e
• Takes one more level to get lv 6/7/8/9 spells in 2e
• Magic resistance is much more common in 2e
• MR is harder to deal in 2e
• d6 hit points instead of d4
• Less opposition schools
• And much more CON bonus in 2e
• Getting difficulty to resist spells is much easier in 3e

And in some settings of AD&D, being a pure caster was a nightmare. Most notabely Dark Sun. A single high level spell scroll can be extremely rare and well protected. Merely preparing spells where hard and Shadow Wizard from Defilers and preservers : the wizards of athas - page 60 could literally die while preparing spells. Magic is also extremely hated. So mages needs to disguise and be very cautious with their spells.

Ok Einstein, what is the perfect system then?

AD&D 2e, Retroclones very similar to AD&D 2e. And GURPS.

My greatest problems with 5E is :

• Too much hp at higher levels
• Too little nasty abilities from monsters eg - Medusas takes 3 turns to petrify someone
• They don't like hindrances and drawbacks.

For example, Necromancer specialized wizards getting resistance to necrotic damage at lv 10 is fine. Same with elemental damage for sorcs. But what is silly is that they don't get the drawbacks. IMO if the charname becomes resistant to necrotic damage, he should become vulnerable to radiant. If a silver/white sorc becomes resistant to cold, he should become vulnerable to fire. Prohibited schools from AD&D and 3.5e also should be back. In fact, I would love if Wizards had to have a "field of study" similar to Cleric's domain in previous editions.
