Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Most iRL poets were men and Gale was clearly written as a straight man.
You are coping, hard. I'm all for modding out the blacks but these genderswap mods are fucking cringe. Faggot.

Retard, if you make a character in a game that lets you choose their sex and you make her a female, are you making a tranny?

No, you're making a female character. Even in BG1&2, where canonically, the protagonist was male. And that's what you're doing here, thanks to the mod.

Enjoy your gay mage and effeminate elf, you closet homo. My game has no such things in it. The trannies exist only in your head.

So finally having Wyll, Karlach and Minthara in the same team without any use "hacking strategic 120 IQ guide" video?

Nice!

What's "nice" about it? Like people have mentioned before Larian removed literally THE ONLY reason to play as evil. Evil path was incredibly underdeveloped and pointless anyway but they somehow managed to make it even worse. That's quiet an accomplishment.

There are plenty of reasons to play as evil.

If your only reason before was to get some drow pussy then you're a fool

That said, you're going to miss out on the free Drow pussy scene if you knock her out.

She'll live, but you'll have to wait until much later to hear her suspiciously gravelly voice whispering sweet nothings into your ear.

Gale was clearly written as a straight man.

Then why does he sexually harass your male characters as soon as his approval goes up?

Minthara has to be temorary hostile to reappear in MT.

ok soo ive been doing honor runs of the act one to see if i can get minthara and i have found a way to do it so far.. its barebones at the moment, but it works so far

goes like this

- get off the ship ( duh)

-grab shadowheart/gale/astorian ( havent tried it with wyll and karlach yet)

do the fight outside the grove , dont go in make a bee line straight for the goblin camp

kill preistess gut

knock out minthara ( kill her bodyguards )

kill big red razzzlin

then go back to grove tell zevlor to party harty and once thats done if you go back to the goblin camp minthara should be standing where you left her..

( i know its a bit odd )

i have heard as long as you dont take the quest to kill the goblin leaders ( just do it anyway or rescue bear daddy ) it should work .. ( have fun )

Generally, I'd say no, but this is a D&D game we're talking about, so things get muddied.

No. This is a DAN DINO game.

I hate playersexual characters so much. If you're half-assing the romances just to appease the twitter coomers, just fucking axe 'em and be done with it.

ITT Non-Edgy Gamer getting really defensive about his love for dickgirls

 

[Nikanuur]

It's not that changing companions into meta-straight people (you have to play as a man...) makes the game so much better.
It's that changing mostly everything about the companions makes the game so much better.
Come to think of it, seeing a woman talking about "Not to be recommended!" stuff with such an assertive tone makes it even two steps closer to lovely writing.

That's because they wrote women and gave them a male model. A big problem with writers in the current year. They don't know how to write either men or women. They write effeminate men which are practically women and they only write the stronk independent no-personality girlboss characters.

Gale is a sadly common enough man. Been there myself. The female writers wrote him as if he were talking to a woman because that’s what they know.

You’re RPing a woman in BG3 interactions with men whatever your model looks like because that’s who wrote the dialogue trees.

When talking to female characters it works better because the writers have experience with those conversations.

did Patch 5 fix lot of the UI issues with the game? alot of filters missing, and generally the UI was cumbersome and shitty like D:OS 2 and D:OS 1, great and amazing tho.
Not sure I really wanna re-play rite now tho, but got a Dark Urge save in ACt 3.. so might finish that eh.

One of the things that pissed me off about Balduran, was always the ultimatum of joining him or joining the enemy.. like wtf bro

 

[Crispy]

As far as I know it didn't change anything about the UI.

I'm using Better Hotbar 2 along with Better Cursor Text Panel, which, after some tweaking (you just need to re-size the individual panel sections), made a big difference.

You could be anything you wanted to* and you chose to be bald?

It's not just the writing. The way he's animated is extremely effeminate at times. The only one who's worse is Astarion.

The fact that Karlach, Lae'zel and Shadowheart are so butch just makes it even more noticeable.

Wyll is the only character who acts like a man in Act 1, either in his dialog or his animations. Halsin just acts like some weird, musclebound alien. He's too wrapped up in being a druid.

As a monk I eschew any and all types of body hair. It tends to stifle my ki.

I just have to install a difficulty mod or something. The game is so fucking easy I'm bored to tears.

 

[jf8350143]

Removed the minthara mod because Larian's new patch. Knocked her out in the goblin camp as Larian said.

She doesn't show up in chapter 2 because of reasons. I fucking knew it's a mistake to trust Larian.

The epilogue is just fanficfion level of shit, they just throw what's poplular in the community and call it a day. And people are defending Larian said they have planned this from the beginning.

Also the new difficulty is as easy as hardcore. The legendary action is uselss. You can still kill everyone in just one or two turns before they can actually do anything.

 

[Shig]

Knocked her out in the goblin camp as Larian said.

Had a buddy who was seething about this too. Did you aggro her? My buddy's mistake was that he was just ambushing and bitchslapping her into the ground to avoid being drawn into large scale combat. Apparently you need to commit a crime or some shit in front of her, aggro her/roll initiative, and then non-lethally disable her.
I have no idea why you'd put that weird ass limitation on it, but there it is.

I killed the hobgoblin first, then walk to her and she turns aggro. I'm pretty sure those limiations is bug becasue larian didn't say shit about you have to knock her out in a specific way to make her appear in chapter 2.

Any examples of this? I have no idea personally.
