Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Kiste]

Yeah, a regular person doesn't look like an idealized Übermensch or Novy Sovetsky Celovek from propaganda posters. Big shocker.

I wonder what kind of horrors we would be looking at on a Codex group photo.

Is that what Valeria is? Are Hollyphants Trans? That's what gets me most. I just...can't get over the trans elephant. Transgender pachyderms are simply too much for me and all that

Transplanar? Yes

What is the consensus on "honor mode"? Worth it? Sounds like a lot of fun but I would be very butthurt if say a game breaking bug or surprise party wipe would make you start over midway through to the game.

 

[Barbarian]

I mean, this game heavily motivates you to save scum in a way that basically removes all challenge. You can save scum during combat and even during conversation, and that is despite the generous rerolls you get with inspiration points and such.

Honor mode seems to remove that and likely provides a much closer experience to tabletop, nevermind actually providing challenge. But since you only have one save the game needs to be absolutely stable.

Wait a few weeks for patch 7

when I play honor run, I'll save the game before a big event, and if something doesnt go my way, my xbox always mysteriously shuts down

Why? Doesn't seem to add anything worthwhile.

More evil endings and a lot of bug fixes.

Yes. Perhaps I finish BG3 this time.

Not interested in evil endings and won't delay the playthrough for minor bugfixes.

Unless the game still has gamebreaking bugs after all this time off course, that is why I asked. Larian is not Owlcat though.

Apart from a few broken quests, it was possible to finish the game during its premiere, which is hard to say about Owlcat's games.

Very much worth it IMO. Includes many balance changes that should have been implemented in all game modes IMO.
Bosses get new abilities.
A vast improvement over Tactician.

And if you slip... its not a huge deal, really. You can continue playing with Honor ruleset and better bosses, you simply won't get the achievment.

Wait until they stop updating the game. Everytime they push a new patch it comes with new bugs, and it could be some major game breaking bug because it happened before.

 

[jf8350143]

I highly doubt they will make a better "evil playthrough", a more extensive evil "ending" is pretty useless when the whole way to get there is god awful.

Baldur’s Gate 3: The German government wants similar games developed in Germany​

The German government would love to one day see a work of the quality of Baldur’s Gate 3 come out from a local studio. It wasn’t just any official who said this, but Michael Kellner, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Economy and Climate Action of Germany, on the occasion of the presentation of the award for best international game given by the nation at Baldur’s Gate 3.

Based on how they judge a game on the looks of its fans, probably Tumblr hamplanets. Everyone here must be a blue haired lesbian, you all act like it.

I think when the ministry of economy says "similar games", they mean the profits, not the sex scenes.

[Mr. Magniloquent]

Did they fix the issue with wizards learning divine scrolls, and casters with a wizard dip being able to learn and memorize any level of arcane spells?

Last time I checked the first one was fixed, but the second one wasn't. I'm not sure if that's how they actually want it to work in the homebrew system they've implemented or not.

 

[Hagashager]

They wont *fix* the wizard dip because it's intrinsic to so many Wizard multiclass builds that getting rid of it would make the wizard virtually useless to multiclass when the level cap is 12.
