Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Perkel]

Some of these BG3 steam reviews man...

Seems like actual chad.

- Why i need a party of 5 when i can kill them with 3
- Shadowshit and frog shut up and follow me.

And then comes rpgcodex guy and says that "WELL YOU SHOULD PLAY 5 party size, NARF"

Smith: I remember once we had some playtesters and I asked this group of six who they were romancing. And every single one said, “No one will have sex with me!” And I was like “Oh god, this is the worst thing that can happen in an RPG.” So we looked at all the balance. And then I was like, "…I think these guys just aren't very good at it.”

 

[Padzi]

I finally completed my first playthrough. It was fun. I was playing on balanced, and now I will start again on tactical. I'll be probably playing it for a few more months.
I have a question for the good people of Codex, though. What was your toughest battle in the game? Because I don't know if I'm dumb or what, but I couldn't

handle Sarevok

. Took me several tries. Need opinions.

 

[MerchantKing]

but can you fuck a dragon?

Technically, yes. Just replace a character with a dragonborn.

You just spoiled the upcoming DLC

totally not leaked DLC footage

What's next? A new character that's a Half-Man, Half-Bear, and Half-Pig?

 

[Lagole Gon]

So 1,3 million players beat the game?

And in that 1,3 million there is no Grauken!

No, he's referring to 3 party members who "dislike talking" to him, meaning that he had a full party of 4 by "D&D 5th edition" standards, the maximum allowable in BG3. Sounds like his own only issue was not exploring or pursuing side quests.

The hardest difficulty adds special powers to some enemies, and for the Shar cult fight that meant several enemies that reflect radiant damage. I respecced my paladin PC for that battle and converted him back afterward (also retried it as a paladin on normal difficulty, where it was fairly easy). Don't recall having any difficulty with the fight you mention, since the boss should go down in 2 or 3 rounds, leaving a few weaker enemies to mop up.

Tbh I didn't even win that coz I was a bad guy. But you would want to mess with action economy first and foremost: haste your dudes, control enemy ones. That's the key to pretty much every encounter.

This battle is sort of inverted compared to most of the similar-looking ones because you have to focus-fire Sarevok. As I remember it, he gets bonus HP for each bitch you knock out. The good news is that compared to Raphael, he's a total lightweight.

What was your toughest battle in the game?

Killing Gortash during his ceremony.

There's no real benefit to doing it though. Just a long, difficult fight. You also lose out on Mizora's interactions with Wyll from that point on.

Wyll also whines that you killed his dad - which he himself can do later on in exchange for his freedom from a contract he'd only have to wait 6 months to end anyway if you'd played things right to that point.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Speaking of Wyll, I redid the my white version of the loading screen to be more like the Alternate Wyll mod.

Basically, he's older now and with scars and closer to the correct eye colors. Couldn't get the hair exactly like it is in-game though.

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

The game just won the goty at the kojima awards

 

[ferratilis]

He actually wore the armor for the whole duration of the show. What a guy.

 

[Larianshill]

Swen fucking won

 

[Arulan]

A CRPG winning GOTY at the TGAs, in a year such as this one no less is incredible to see. Swen fucking did it.

 

[Alienman]

Shame the awards is absolute shit.

 

[Infinitron]

Of course this is the only BG3 award they uploaded to their YouTube channel:

The bear buggerers finally got their spot in the limelight.

I am not really surprised. This is The Troon Awards, after all.

The Last of Us 2 and Dragon Age: Inquisition also won GOTY, so it makes sense that a woke pornographic visual novel, where you can fuck bears and squid men, also won.

 

[Swen]

Ah yes, now it's time to harvest the tears...

I can post more examples of why a troon simulator won GOTY at The Troon Awards, if you like.
