Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Why would he, "Black" isn't a thing in the setting.

Has this ever stopped a woke developer?

Shadow of War devs introduced a black to Middle Earth, made the black essentially royalty (and yet somehow still oppressed iirc) and gave him a blond princess to romance. All in a game series about a white guy.

What? Wyll is just one of these NPCs who die when you attack the druids' grotto, isn't he?

He was for me my first time through. But you can save him and Karlach both and still do an evil playthrough.

All you need to do is recruit them and then kill them. Then, instead of doing the large battle with Minthara, you use mage hand to push the idol off the statue from a distance, causing the druids to kill the tieflings (or maybe slaughter the camp by yourself in some other way idk). Doing this will skip the battle and have Minthara just conquer the camp the day after you make the deal with her. If you don't do this, Wyll will resurrect himself and turn on you.

This route probably locks you into a bad end for Karlach (as if being the personification of reddit weren't bad enough already), since she'll die if you don't get the mechanic to work on her heart, and the mechanic will get killed during the grove raid. There might be a way to avoid this if you knock him out (I didn't test), but even if you do this, and he still shows up in Act 2 (which I don't know if he will) at Last Light, that's another place you need to depopulate in an evil playthrough.

Oddly enough, even though Karlach and Wyll will turn on you for massacring the tieflings, they'll just reprove you for killing the harpers.

I absolutely love any game that invests heavily into awesome music with female vocals and I was not disappointed with BG3

 

[Yosharian]

I do not like Wyll at all. Also because of that fucker I messed up Karlach's ending. Fuuuck.

Huh. How?

Turn-based is great but even it cannot carry larian and 5e.

 

[NecroLord]

I do have to give Larian a bit of credit for not having Wyll reference the fact that he's black even once.

Why would he, "Black" isn't a thing in the setting. Instead he should explain how his family even got from wherever blacks live in Fearun to Baldurs Gate.

Not a Forgotten Realms lore buff, but they don't have a separate continent?
If not, then I am guessing it's Calimshan.
Also, Sarevok is not black, though retarded mouthbreathers like to say otherwise. As a Bhaalspawn with a Human mother, I am thinking she was actually from Calimshan. So, he's north african/moorish.

So, is the honeymoon over? Can we acknowledge the fact BG3 is a necrophilic desecration of the BG series with amateurish, fan fiction-tier writing?

Not yet. I'm waiting for it, though. The dialog system is completely stupid. As the skill system from 5E is.

Always was.

It's good for what it is. I see this as an upgrade to everything Larian did after Divinity II, but it can't be considered a worthy sequel to Baldur's Gate.

Huh. How?

I messed up seriously. I didn't know they are so connected since act 1 to 3. So:

Spoiler

After pact with Mozora ended, Wyll does not have any powers so I told him he should go into politics.
Because of that, he doesn't became Blade of Avernus and nobody wanted to go back with Karlach to hells.
So she exploded.

Facepalm.

Yes, but mods can fix it.

What? I thought the first tweet was ironical.
This is depressing.

No, he's serious about it and defending it (poorly) in the comments.

Wait what. So you *need* Wyll to get a good ending for Karlach?

Yes. But...

Spoiler

Tav can go as well (Wyll is not needed), but if you are not romancing Karlach but someone else, it ends the relationship with that person. I checked myself.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

lol lmao even. Wyll and Karlach were made for each other. Two nonsense characters with nonsense backgrounds rooted in 5E idiocy.

Karlach is great.

 

[Lacrymas]

All of the companions are bad and as if written by people who have only ever read fan fiction.

Karlach is great.

>Checks join date.<

Yeah that explains pretty much everything I need to know.
