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.
That's what I thought, but I've not actually seen Larian come out and say anything definitive about it one way or another.

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.
whooooaaa..... not THE Michael Kellner? the most famous Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Economy and Climate Action of Germany? whaaaaaattt????????? That guy beat Wizardry 7 blindfolded

What Germs could do, when economy is failing, their plan for UE on edge of fail, and generally failed as society?

More CGI bear sex.

Fuck, what happened to germoids? I used to play games like Gothic, Guild 2, Spellforce, The Fall, Diggles when i was younger when germs were the shit. Now all they want to make is farming garbage and apparently squid humping simulators.

One of the biggest downfalls in gayming.

Battle Brothers, SpellForce 3, Gladius - Relics of War, The Surge 1 and 2, Everspace 1 and 2. There are still some good games made by Germans.

I think at this point, we're safe to assume wizard scroll learning unlimited by levels is to stay. Nothing indicates otherwise... and its a part of a lot of builds out there.

90s was for Germs, like for all old capitalist Europe, time of rave, ectassy pills and porn. Then XXI century landed, things slowed, and after 2012 eveything goes rainbow and brownskinned.

Similar story in France, just replace "porn" with "erotica"/"artporn".

Dropped Warlock playthought , started a Druid Drow.

So far, much better but also much easier. AOE Spell kinda break the combat in two. Act 1 is quite huge. I just finshed the ''Party'' post Goblin camp

The story is alright and the characters are fine so far. Astarion is such prick that unless you REALLY want to know about him and/or doesn't want to lose content, there's almost no reason to not stake the fuck out of him. Lae'zel is a prick but at least from the start she's clearly likes people that are pragmatic and useful, she's slighy more annoying Regill. Shadowheart is nice, she's almost too easy to like.. Reminds the most of Bioware companions, alongside, Wyll.

Wyll is underrated, i like him because admist a bunch of secretive assholes, you have missguided Good guy. Same goes for Karlach. Gale is funny , sometimes, but stupid.

I found that Astarion's actually one of the better companions as the game goes on, he just says more interesting things and interjections than most of the others most of the time, and his backstory is quite tragic really, with a weighty choice at the end of his questline.

A white Wyll mod (there are a few of them at RPGHQ, I use the foppish dandy-looking one, which is exceptionally suitable) with a voice mod (one at RPGHQ, and a much better one on Nexus - not specifically called a white Wyll voice mod, but one of a bunch of AI voice substitute mods that unfortunately haven't been updated to latest update in a while) makes Wyll actually quite a tolerable and recognizable character, since the Wyll writing is pretty good, and all credit to the Black voice actor, he does a good job that works well with voice mods.

ShadowHeart and Astarion have a lot of interjections, they feels like the most fleshed out characters in the game so far. Wyll in comparasion exhausted his conversation options before i finished the goblin camp.

I'm glad you enjoy your druid. What subclass? Spore goes well with Drow hand xbows?

However... why did you not use aoe spells on your Warlock? They are also very strong with them. I hope you were not spamming Hex...

I used Warlock's spell but honestly, I didn't had a lot options. Eldritch blast , Hunger of Hadar , Daggers and Hexes got old quick. Tried a Sorc Warlock but didnt felt much better.Also I just felt in a mood to play a summoner.

About my druid, doing melee right now , but I gonna change to dual hand crossbow by level 6 when I get my summons going.

Maybe should have went Bladelock?

Anyway druid is fine also! Although I think it may fall off a bit more at the top levels.

I think going for a BladeLock would have been the right choice , considering that Wyll as Paladin/Warlock is way better to play as compared to my boring ass Eldrich Blast spammer.

I just got to Last Light Inn and the fight was a mess. Fights that have ally NPCs are just the worst because they keep walking into to my AOE and triggering another fight..

Does this game contain woke content and if yes how bad is it?
No, only traditional Christian values. As conservative as they come. Even then, don't play it, there are better games to spend your limited time on Earth with.

A bit but it's not that bad

In my opinion the worst parts are:

- superhero aasimar NPC with plot armour who won't shut up about wanting to fuck her girlfriend
- lame companion writing/design in some places
- ugly female characters that the game clearly thinks are 'seductive'

There's also some stupid/inane writing here and there but that's less woke, more just Belgians

The Writing in this game way better than DOS2, so far. I played Act 1 up to Act 2 of DOS2 and the (bad) humor was everywhere.

Here there's nice balance of ''Wacky funny'' (most involving Green Skin races plus Animals) and straight moments. Some companions are a bit try a little to hard to funny but i expected worse. The Story itself is pretty whatever, but there's a lot involving the theme of Cult-like behaviour destroying people Sense of Self and bit of discussion about ''Faith vs Fanaticism'' with all characters.
