Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Larianshill]

Wyll - haven't had him around much, but seems like the classic lawful neutral non-entity?

Wyll is very difficult to pinpoint, I'd argue true neutral. He strives to do good, but his morality is very dependent on what is convenient at the time.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

The game launched 1.0 with a giant early access version number on the top right corner of the screen that had to be removed with a hotfix. It's safe to assume a lot of interactions will be bugged for a while.

 

[Larianshill]

Nere is probably the easiest boss in the game. To kill him you just need to take a nap.

You also

Spoiler

Kill a lot of gnomes this way. And despite what some people here say, gnomes are not subhuman and are worth saving.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Lol. I spoke with that colleague of mine who wanted to do his first playthrough in single player. I ask him, how is it going, what are your impressions.

He replies "It's a bit annoying that you only have 1-2 attacks per turn. In D:OS I could do three. It's also a missing simulator, but the rest of it I like."

 

[Spectral Pontifex]

I'm pretty sure this is some scripting checks that need to be patched. I refuse to believe the game doesn't record it in the savegame if you've killed an npc as important as a party member.

Someone was saying some time ago, that he took Karlach to the party, and Wyll just acted like she isn't there.

Maybe both issues pertain to the same task, somewhere on a kanban board at Larian's office. But everyone is too drunk to work on it right now.

It's beyond me how this got past years of testing. I thought that the ability to kill anyone would be a real mechanic, not some meme shit for gamerbreaking runs. And I honestly went in thinking that I would play through the whole game. I just can't bear this shit. I can't play my character the way I wanted since no dialogue or quests reflect it.

Wiped the game off my disc because I just can't be bothered with this bullshit. Maybe in the future if they actually bother to fix these issues I will play it again.

Suffer not the gnome to live.

I'm sure Larian is really upset to lose your piracy.

Yup, can confirm. Retards are worse than the soldiers in XCOM 2.

So how many times have you busted a nut to bear sex?

It could be it was working until days before release, and something else they did in the whole chaos broke it.

 

[Mortmal]

You can go there basically the moment you pass Waukeen's rest being level 3, or you can do it like me and exhaust a ton of bonus areas and go there at level 6.

Did the Act 2 achievement bug out for me? I got it way later, after the underdark.

The Underdark is a part of Act 1, and the fights are easier compared to some of the challenges you encounter in the northern regions of the map. It's something you should explore just after discovering the goblin camp or any of the 3 entry points. The order in which you should do things, especially during an evil playthrough with no guidance, is not very clear

I killed the druid grove, so no bear sex for me to seek out and then whine about in the thread for cool points. Oh well.

Hey guys technical question here. My SSD is too limited to install the game.

Has anybody tried to play with the game installed on an HDD? Is it viable?

Thanks in advance.

I've seen some reviewers report they played with a HDD without an issue.

The issue would be long ass load times and save times.

 

[Renfri]

Some issues so far: several crashes, sometimes cutscenes dont play out like they should, some fights take really long cos so many trashy enemies, one quest didnt seem to want to work, but eventually did after trying just to later finding out quest giver was lying dead where I was supposed to meet him again, cba trying again. Otherwise game seems really nice, companions are less horny now in chapter 2.

Jaheira was so happy to join me after I fucked her friends over, made no sense, but she died in fight anyway and I cant ress her, cos she wasnt companion yet.

It's viable. There's a special toggle available under 'video' settings to leverage more RAM usage to offload more disk usage.

Options > Video > Slow HDD mode.

I crash several times a day, there's stuttering sometimes despite a very good GPU, and there's an annoying bug that gets Lae'zel stuck in the infinite dialogue sometimes if she picks locks. Which is a problem, because Lae'zel is my designated lockpicker.

I really haven't had any technical issues on my rather old machine: 4790k / 1080ti / 24 GB DDR3 / SATA3 SSD, Windows 10. Components from 2014-2017

BTW, I some gnome just called me a bigot because I assumed he is coming from the Underdark, while in fact he was living in Baldur's Gate. The whole situation with saving him and then talking to him felt very BG.

Didn't something like that happen in BG2 in the tavern?

Residents of Baldur's Gate are natively called BiGots .

 

[Jermu]

Wyll is probably more towards good alignment

druid/refuge place spoiler

he turned hostile after I started killing thieflings with drow mommy

You probably said something antinanatic and he was letting you know.

 

[Alienman]

You and I played Arma 3 once, so if we can schedule some time for it, why not go for some smiting evil in tandem?

I play a white heterosexual (human) male Paladin of vengeance.

Also, I'm confirmed heterosexual IRL. So, nothing to worry about

Sure, we can try. I assume new characters then? Will keep my flamboyant wizard solo.

Yeah he seems good.
