Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Drow stuff supposed to disintegrate once reaching the surface? So how come the Drow studded leather armor can be looted in the first area of the game?

yes, that's how it was back in the olden days D&D. I think.

PS I hate the drow armor, it's so ugly. it looks like someone's really cheap, low effort cosplay for Dragon Con

The equipment rot from sunlight was dropped by 3e afaik
The stuff also didn't fall apart instantly, it took a while. I think it has to do with the lack of Faezres.

balancing

Balance cultism destroys RPGs like equality cultism destroys societies IRL. Balance should never be put above fun and consistency of mechancis and lore. I play games for fun alone, if a class is overpowered or underpowered, is irrelevant, as longs I like playing with that class.

- No more than 12 levels in a single class(specially casting classes, spells beyond level 12 get absolutely broken)

Disagreed.

If you compare 5e tier 7/8/9 spells with AD&D or 3.5e, 5e versions are much, much weaker. Compare 5e weird with 3.5e weird. What happens in 5e is that monsters lost all powerful abilities hence is too hard for a DM to challenge a high level party.

What would be cool is if this game supported "alternative leveling", some adaptations of 3.5e has a hard level cap of 6 or 12 and you can only buy some specific ""feats"" after lv 6/12. Such system could work in BG3, and

Can you really go through the game with no challenge? Just steamrolling everything? It is not so much about balance as it is about having some hard fights, maybe even dying in some(now that honor mode difficulty is not locked behind single save).

7th to 9th level spells are very powerful and even scaling 5 and 6th level spells to higher levels would trivialize this game. I don't think a 20th level say rogue or monk would be ridiculously overpowered in this game, but a caster? Certainly.

"Power word kill" is an example of a 9th level spell which is available to the player as a single use cast, and it is extremely powerful. Imagine casting that at will every fight - instantly killing enemies with less than 100 hitpoints with no saving throw involved.

Exactly. Balance for balancing sake is useless. However maintaining a degree of challenge troughout the game is crucial to have engaging gameplay.

Doesn't hurt if there are a couple of ways to destroy the balance - if you've got intimate knowledge of the game's systems and can find and exploit some non-obvious synergies / loopholes. However if you steamroll everything without effort - that's very bad.

I can’t even find words to describe how shit this game is

the only kinky stuff I remember was from Viconia

Now let me think who's the head priestess or the cult Shadowhag is a part of?

The combat is by far the best thing that happened with this game.

 

[Haplo]

Level design is also pretty awesome. Multiple quest resolutions. Graphics. Plenty of things to love.

Funny thing is Larian tried to fuck it up so hard too: advantage from placing an attacker behind the target lol. Can you imagine how retarded these people are?

I don't know man, but getting stabbed in the back seems like a pretty big disdaventage to me

I don’t know man, but being a retard like you seems like a disadvantage too

Reactivity. I think most people don't praise this enough.

I have been frankly quite impressed time and time again, specially by act one reactivity and detail. Characters react even to being pickpocketed - consistently. This is just one detail off course, but quite illustrative.

There are videos for instance of unique dialogues and interaction for stealing Lump's war horn before talking to him, or for stealing Mattis' "magic ring" before he tries to scam you(he will praise you as a "master thief" lol).

That the devs spent the time going through every nook and cranny and implementing voiced interactions for random mischief 0,001% of the players will even see in a playthrough is pretty damn great.

Funny thing is most of this stuff is only seem on an evil playthrough.

On a good playthrough shadowgangbanged becomes a literal tradwife.

Swen literally cucking good aligned players.

How explicit are these sex scenes? Are these hardcore porno scenes with closeups of cock-chugging, pussy slurping & nibbling them lips, and slow full penetration riding that bronco cunt/butt to nut slam banging action? Are they dripping juices like some leaky faucet? Or is it just the standard clunky shit build the image in your head with imagination land? Either way.... not what I care about in a combat adventure rpg.

 

[Barbarian]

They reminded me of the Witcher 3 sex scenes.

Cringe, but it is not pornography.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Then pointless.

They're fairly demure as these things go.

There's a mod though.

 

[Fedora Master]

Adding dick options is the exact same shit as adding vitiligo. It's easy brownie points with the usual degenerates but doesn't affect the game whatsoever.

 

[Swen]

We're smart as fck! BG3 chads stay winning!!!!

[Hydro]

Must be scratching the bottom of the barrel for these charts lol. Try the “games with best representation of bestiality”

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

BG wouldn't be #1 that is for sure.

 

[Fedora Master]

LoL is a retarded gook clicker of a game, even if you assume it's ALL Koreans there's no way the _average_ player is over one standard deviation smarter than the norm.

 

[NaturallyCarnivorousSheep]

It's just a racial profile of people who play these games. Actual scores kind of say nothing because you'd assume gaymers are a bit more autistic so they'll score higher.
