Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[ERYFKRAD]

Okay so you rated my post 'Yes' but apparently don't want to elaborate. Case closed, I guess.

He's just upset.

 

[Desiderius]

Fedora Master, I'm just curious: do you really want Infinitron to stop posting stuff like this? That is, for example, a tweet announcing the progress of the BG3 patch and its release. If so, why? Should someone else post that? Should no one post it? If not, why not?

You do realize this is a site about computer roleplaying games, right? You may hate BG3, and you may hate Infinitron, but you can't deny that kind of news should be posted somewhere by someone, can you?

The fedora didn't work out how I'd hoped either.

Give the man some time.

Have you reached the third act yet

Barely reached the second. Waiting for them to release the second half of the game. Evidently they rolled a little more out today.

Its Fedora Master you know he seldom has anything constructive or relevant to say

Just ignore him

Infinitron does good work.

I agree and I dont know Infinitron from a bar of soap. I cant recall a single discussion I have ever had with him but he posts interesting gaming updates all the time and this is a gaming website at its core. Its not like you have to read the updates but to not have updates doesnt make sense

He's an edgelord contrarian but deep in his heart he loves me and BG3.

I recall a single discussion. And a later one. His skills are improving with use. This is good design.

His only fault is his sawyer bias and lack of actually playing any rpgs.

BG3? Is that out yet? Heard you’re still ironing out the part set in, you know, Baldur’s Gate.

Even unfinished my game is good enough to win GOTY

 

[Cryomancer]

Not saying that BG3 is a bad game but if game journos praise BG3, that is a negative point towards BG3, not positive.

 

[MerchantKing]

I guess this is one way to mod the gay away.

I think RPGs should only have female caster companions while the main character should be a male martial character, especially a Gnome Fighter/Illusionist, with high STR and high INT.

I know. I also was a huge Larian critique and liked a lot BG3. If you look to hte 2% negative reviews is mostly "din't run in my potato 20yo pc" and/or "din't had translation to my obscure language spoken by 100 people".

Anyway, did BG3 beat the sales of Elden Ring? Beating Starfield I know that beated.

Sales are atleast 10 million by now, probably close to 15 million. Elden ring sold 20 million to date.

With Valve removing access to accurate data sales estimation has become incredibly inaccurate. Various sales estimators put Elden Ring at beteeen 8 to 37 million copies sold and BG3 at between 5 to 27 million copies sold. As you can see with those ranges, you might as well guess. 'Slightly less than Elden Ring' would be congruent with the peak player numbers however.

New patch

Community Update #25: Ain't No Party Like a Withers Party

Howdy gang,

Like a holiday turkey overstuffed with a moist heap of meaty bread, so too have you overstuffed our collective heart here at Larian. Since our launch in August, over
1.3 million
players have completed Baldur's Gate 3, which, to continue the holiday metaphor, has made even the most blackened Belgian heart expand to at least three times its normal size. We’re so thrilled to see so many of you are loving - and, you know, finishing - the game. Even now, doctors are closely monitoring our David Walgrave in case he begins to show signs of smiling.

So to all of you veteran players of Baldur's Gate 3 - and those still waiting to experience these Forbidden Realms for themselves - today we bring you another reason to return to Faerûn: Patch 5, our most feature-filled patch since launch, comprised of brand new epilogues that bring closure to each player’s unique journey, along with new game modes, and so much more.

Now without further ado: Patch 5.

Journey’s End: Playable Epilogues Are The Final Chapter In Your Adventure

A chance to say goodbye


Set at camp in High Hall, with a view overlooking the city, this new playable chapter takes place six months after the events of Baldur’s Gate 3’s story, and is accessible to all players by loading the game prior to the final fight.

Your epilogue
is defined by you. This is the culmination of every choice and consequence that you’ve made since the very start of your adventure, a gigantic tree of permutations that leads to an opportunity to reflect on that journey before you say goodbye. For the writers of Larian, this “final goodbye” has resulted in some of the most complex writing in the game thus far, as it takes advantage of Baldur's Gate 3’s reactivity across the entire adventure.

Getting the gang back together


You’ll experience
new cinematics
that reflect the arc of your story,
reunite with your companions
to reminisce and trade tales, read
letters sent by old friends
, and
keep abreast of the latest Baldur’s Gate news
with updates in the Baldur’s Mouth Gazette. Not sure where you put Scratch’s ball? You can
play a game of fetch using the Astral Prism instead
-
the Forbidden Squeaky.


Though happy endings are never guaranteed, this final scene aims to bring closure to your personal story, based on your choices. It’s a tender moment to reflect on the last six months since you took on your final challenge, together as a team, as well as your chance to say goodbye before the credits roll.

What else can you expect here? Well, there’s
new music from Bobby, brand new faces at camp,
and
a special cinematic ending for Gale and Lae’zel
depending on your choices along the way.

Patch 5 also features
fresh threads
, a hip phrase that my aged hands typed just before turning to dust.

Shantay, you stay


Origin characters have received
new outfits
for this final party, including Shadowheart, who is going for a kind of cute “they don’t even know I’m god’s favourite princess” party vibe.

Drip King


As modelled by Astarion above,
Orin’s outfit will now drop as loot
and can be worn by anyone. And it’s dyeable in the colour of your choosing.

Experience Baldur’s Gate 3 Like Never Before In Honour Mode And Custom Mode

Good luck, you’re going to need it


Alongside the new epilogue content come two new game modes, Honour Mode and Custom Mode.

Honour Mode ups the intensity of what was previously our most challenging mode - Tactician - and not only makes the game more difficult in and out of combat, but also introduces over 30 new tweaks to all of Baldur's Gate 3’s boss-fights, with a new Legendary Action system designed to catch players off-guard and increase the challenge. Now, bosses can perform new actions, adding twists and turns to all major fights throughout the game.

Survive Honour Mode And Receive The Golden D20

They see me rollin’


When you inevitably die in Honour Mode, you’ll be presented with statistics from your journey, including how long and how far you survived. Should you so choose, you can continue your adventure, which will then disable Honour Mode. But players who do manage to complete the entire game with Honour Mode enabled without dying will be awarded the coveted Golden D20.

The Golden D20 stands as a testament to your gaming skill, earning you such admiration that people may willingly kneel before you, offering to serve as a footrest while you continue your awesome pursuits of being a hardcore gamer.

Or Customise Your Gameplay Experience For A More Authentic Tabletop Experience

Play how you want to play


Those of you who aren’t gluttons for punishment (or perhaps want to push gameplay to its limits) may enjoy Custom Mode, a new game mode that allows you to pick and choose the type of experience best for you. With many options to pick from, a few favourites include the option to hide the required roll to succeed dice checks, which gives a more realistic D&D experience, as well as the ability to hide enemy HP in battle, again more closely simulating the tabletop style.

Other options in Custom Mode include Short Rests fully healing the party, as well as disabling Death Saving Throws, or even the ability to hide failed Perception Checks, which means you’ll never know there was even a roll to begin with!

And Much More!


Patch 5 introduces a huge quality of life update in the form of improved inventory access. Now while in camp, you will be able to manage the inventory of companions who are not in your active party without having to recruit them first - all from one single UI.

This update also brings performance improvements engineered as a consequence of the Xbox version of Baldur’s Gate 3, which benefits all platforms.

To our friends in Korea:
이제 Baldur’s Gate 3를 한국어로 플레이할 수 있습니다!

Baldur’s Gate 3 is now available with Korean-language subtitles!

You can also expect to find new changes for those who choose to become half-illithid, with your transformation now visually affecting your eyes.

And finally, we have updated our in-game credits to include a dedication in memory of our friend and colleague Jim Southworth, who passed away earlier this month.

We are still actively working on improving kisses for
all romanceable companions
, so expect even more new animations featuring unique snogging methods for our characters. No romance partner has been forgotten! Some characters were just a little too eager to get out.

With that, let’s unfurl the patch notes.

This is a nice change but way too late

This "honor mode" will be coming together with hardcore league for DDO. I honestly am interesting in seeing how far I can reach in both games. In the last HC league, I died at lv 11.
