Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Cael]

MMO style so-called "mechanics"...

Such as?

It is 5.0, man. It is Diablo in tabletop, created by the same woketards of the cunts who gave us the original WoW on tabletop called 4.0.

 

[Cael]

the "possibly" part of his tag is putting in some serious legwork to make anyone who interacts with Cael think he has above room-temperature IQ.

Ahh, the cries of a noob not realising what those prestigious politics related tags come from.

Diablo in tabletop

How dude? Would appreciate it if you expound on this since I can't grok which part you're referring to as Diablo like or MMO-like

Oh, the timers, the once per combat shit, the attacks into blocks of HP, the palette swap enemies, the lack of non-HP destruction, the same enemies but with tiers (normal, boss, etc.).

Basically everything to do with 4.0 and 5.0 when compared to 3.5. When it first came out, 4.0 was laughed at as being WoW on tabletop. After 3.5, DINO only appealed to the dumb MMO millennial crowd.

Sounds all like 4e.

Pretty much. MMO tier shit.

 

[Just Locus]

I mean, one of the reasons I didn't play BG3 at release was precisely because it was 5e, but I wouldn't call it "MMO-like"

 

[Fedora Master]

4E was such a success they had to bring back parts of 3 to make it palatable.

Then again, those were less popular games, with less fandom on the IP. Maybe it works the third time around.

This time we are talking about probably the most retarded CRPG fandom ever, so

 

[Old Hans]

Level editor would be great. Maybe somebody will make a good game with it. My hopes are low though, seeing the dominating trends on Nexus.

at best you'll get a zillion mods with titles like " My skeleton cave mod" which consists of a 2 rooms connected by a hallway with no working navmeshe and filled with 500 skeletons

I’ve heard a lot about some “very cool” custom campaigns or scenarios or some shit in DOS2, but being unable to overcome the Larianness of the game never cared to find out more. Was it any good?

By the way how’s the coop performed in bg3? Larian twitter cringemasters seem to be dead silent about it. Well at least judging by what shillitroon spams here.

Do they actually add something new in the 'evil playthrough'? Or just slap some cut scenes at the ending and call it a day?

There's a special red filter on everything.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Or a Divinity: Dragon Commander type game with the Nautiloid. Spelljammer.

Larian clearly had Spelljammer in mind when creating BG3:

I said it many times and I will say it again.
Larian should have tried making a wacky Spelljammer game instead of Sword Coast level 1 adventure.
It fits the "Larian tone" better. And the overbloat of "awesome" and "epic" could maybe even turn into a plus.

True. But Spelljammer doesn't sell, "Baldur's Gate" does.

You know what? I'll give em Spelljammer. Go hog wild. Make a degenerate Larian sexweirdo story with all the Psurlon Sex you could want.
But make it a decent simulation of Spelljammer. Give us ship combat, and trading and freaky-ass planets to explore. That would be something new, something bold.

coop works just like dos2. You jump into the game and do whatever you want, even if that means causing no end to grief to your friends by constantly making them slip on oil

Kuo-toa allies, but I don't think you even have to be evil to get them. So, no, nothing.
