Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

You mean dwarf couple. Gnomes are all gay now.

The lack of beards made me err to gnomes or halflings, but yes, I see you're right.

I like that we have 3 types of midgets that are all basically the same now.

There are no Gnomes or Dwarves in this game. Only halflings and bearded halflings who LARP.

You are all alone, without the party, in the random location of the BG3.
And a bit of a faggot.
Who do you prefer to meet - Astarion or the bear?

Ah but you forgot the third option - kill yourself

Come on dude.

 

[Barbarian]

Astarion was okay. For a faggot at least.

All the companions in the game are bisexual, including Astarion. He still talks like a flaming homo though.

Astarion is probably the best written companion, which isn't saying much. Everything he says early on is lies upon lies. He'll lie slightly less if the player knows he's a vampire, but he'll still lie - e.g., saying the Gur is there to bring him back to his master. And figuring out just how little you can trust him is kind of amusing.

That sort of mystery to a character is a lot better than Shadowheart's or Durge's amnesia, which you know is locked behind some plot point. Or Gale's flat refusal to tell you anything until he either decides to creep on you, or everything gets revealed by Elminster anyway. Or Wyll's stupid hero larp when you know he's a warlock.

If TSR's Forgotten Realms was a Renaissance fair, Wizard's Forgotten Realms is a Pride parade.

Handing Astarion to Gurs was disappointing though. The quest line just ends with no explanations whatsoever. It’s only in the Chapter 3 when you stumble upon Gurs’ camp with everybody dead, but again no further explanation is given (not that you have any motivation to investigate more at that point to start with). As I said before, this game is designed solely for good goys who follow the canon narrative.

Had to pack it in at the beginning of Act 3. Act 2 had some cool villains, but almost every character in this game is boring or insufferable to the Nth degree (with a few notable exceptions). I think the straw that broke the camel's back was the dragonkin vendor who just wouldn't shut the fuck up. DnD is so pussified it's embarrassing. Even the designs reflect this. The dragonkin look like some twitter fag's fursona

[Fedora Master]

Dragon-Kin and Dragonborn are two different things.
Dragonborn are fanservice for furries they kept in after the debacle of 4e.

4e

How can so much evil stem from a single source(book)?

 

[jackofshadows]

I found her hilarious. One of the most memorable NPCs. At some point I accused her at arselicking (figuratively speaking) and she gave me some cool response in return. It also helped that by speaking to the blacksmith I sentenced him so to say (Orin) so it has added a bit of drama to her the whole adore fan shick.

For the first anniversary of Baldur's Gate 3, we talk to Larian about how it reinvented itself, why it scrapped its plans for Baldur's Gate 4, and what the future holds​

Wyll's original storyline had so much more potential. He was a showboating fraud who made a pact with Mizora all because a goblin took his eye. Thats why his early intro during the goblin fight is so out of place. Thats old showboating wyll

Pretty much. If it wasn't for the shitty rewrite, he probably would've been my favorite character both as a companion and as a PC origin.

 

[MjKorz]

Huh, seems like I'm one of the few rare people who liked Wyll: he seemed like a genuine, down to earth victim of circumstances in a party of special snowflake scumbags.

 

[processdaemon]

I can see why people who prefer straightforwardly good characters would like Wyll but I felt like his problem was that they leaned into the victim of circumstances thing so much that he seems to lack agency. I would have preferred his backstory if they'd had him actively seek out some kind of deal because he'd figured out something was wrong and nobody would believe him rather than having her luring him out and similarly having him actively make the choice to seek out Mizora again to make a deal to save his father would have had more impact than her shoving the offer in his face at the first opportunity.

I agree that he's one of the few companions who seems like a genuinely nice guy, but it would have been more interesting to watch him come to the conclusion that he might have to do some shady stuff for the greater good himself rather than having Mizora club him over the head with the realization at every turn. I think they just got scared of adding any nuance to his character because of the 'angry black man' allegations during EA, which didn't seem fair to me at the time anyway.

Are they going to showcase the plethora of degenerate pornographic cutscenes that their next game will revolve around?

I am pretty sure they’ve learned a lot from that post describing the problem of correct representation of sex between halflings and human.

I expect their next game to be a total banger.

To be fair it was a highly informative and scientific post. I dare say that person did 90% of the work for them.
