New patch

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

Somewhere in America, rusty is giggling to himself like a little schoolgirl.

"Minthara will still appear at Moonrise Towers if she was knocked out in Act 1"

Does that mean you can recruit her without being a murder hobo?

You'll probably still have to get rid of the bear though (no loss)

I don't think so. If the druid grove is safe then why would we get rid of Halsin?

The new patch added epilogues. They are pretty decent, if you like the companions. However, the patch only adds an epilogue for the good ending - there is no epilogue for the evil ending, of any sort. Not even MoB-style slideshow.

you can't be serious...

the evil ending was such an embarrassment the party claps for 2 seconds then immediately cuts to credits

 

[Larianshill]

Yeah, well, what did you expect. I was writing a whole essay about how much evil playthrough sucks, but then I just stopped, because everybody who cares already knows, and everybody who doesn't care is a lost cause.

So they removed the only actual incentive of going evil by making the only evil exclusive companion also be recruitable by moralfags?
Instead of adding content to the evil path they removed the only reason for going for it?

You could already do this, it was just hacky.

Moralfaggotry is the norm these days. You see people posting videos with hundreds of thousands of views along the lines of "I played the evil path so you don't have to".

The incentive to play evil is that you can kill all these annoying NPCs. I need no other bribe. In fact, I'd like to be able to drag Karlach and Halsin along more easily when I do.

That's the consequences of the 80s satanic panic against D&D, the game was castrated and since D&D is pretty much the template for rpg stuff that's what you get in the end.

1889534784 Endings!!!

I'm on my 2nd playthough now so I'll be curious to see what they did with the endings; awful timing on the drow though, I just killed that bitch.

I disagree. You actually got a lot of creative workarounds for things.

Tieflings, for example, were mutants, not just half-demon. Devils and Demons got new species names in the Planescape setting.

Of course, there were also blatant cuts like making half-orcs no longer playable (which may have actually been a good thing, since half-orcs have only served to anthropomorphize orcs, to the point that they're treated as slightly ugly humans in modern D&D), but overall, I think "castrated" is too strong a word to use.

And now, the opposite is the problem: Tieflings have been dumbed down into playable devils. Half-orcs are not only playable, but they have no disadvantages. The entire game is like a pride parade of faggotry and BG3 is likely to make that worse.

On a technical level the game runs super well now in ACT 3 on PS5.

hahah

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Wow, the patch improved the game more than I thought it would.

Go naked with a bear headress.

Is that the G4 tranny?

Oh right, that dumdum

Good to know Alistair have found job after Dragon Age.

It really is amazing how much these mods help with my enjoyment of the game. The woke is almost gone, at least from the first parts of Act 1 - where there wasn't as much to begin with.

Gale and Astarion are no longer faggots. Shadowcunt is no longer the only hot chick in the party and she sits alone in her corner, seething as usual.

Since I'm doing a Durge run, I went ahead and tried the Cambion race mod, the default of which is pretty OP, but it's fun to fly around the map freely.

I almost feel sorry for PS5 players, forced to make do with the Diversity Edition.
