Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Rhobar121]

So apparently I passed too close to Waukeen's Rest before actually going inside the area, some timer started and now everyone's dead.
Backtracking here is out of the question as I've been seeing the edges of the building on the map for quite sometime, I'd probably have to lose hours and hours of play to go back to a point where the timer hadn't started yet.

Apparently this means losing quests and items.

This is fucked.
It's killing my resolve to go on with this game.

The building is on fire and the trapped people are trying to get out of the flames.
Let them wait what bad can happen #suprised pikachu

More of a moron who hasn't even read his own contract and then wonders that he gets his ass fucked every time.

Lae'zel's arc: If you do everything she wants, she's sort of, kind of, nice to you. After 60 hours of threatening to murder you and being a grade-A bitch. After you drag her kicking and screaming through each of her idiotic reveals about how brainwashing is bad. After the worst callback to Dak'kon I've ever seen out of fanfiction.

Internet:

And the other companions are so bad that numerous codexers prefer this frog instead.

"Le writing's okay."

I feel like I'm on crazy pills.

She seems alright so far. I don't know much about DnD but she's a dogsbody fanatic raised in a genocidal, ingsoc style military society?

Her romance shit seems genuinely hilarious as well. Effectively I'm going to rape you tonight, so prepare yourself.

Not giving you a dialogue option to Dark Urge that irritating Hollyphant detective in Act 3 into pieces is a missed opportunity

Are you actually embracing the Urge? If so, keep playing, there's a nice surprise for you.

I just got to this part of the playthrough, I retract all my criticisms of the game, no matter what issues it has from now on it's a 10/10 for letting me do that. Praise Bhaal!

I only saw the external walls strolling through the map, I had no idea there was a fire inside. Basically everything was grayed out as an ordinary unexplored part of the map.
That's why I said it's fucked up.

In fact, you've lost one meaningless side quest and a little introduction to Wyll's story that doesn't matter because you'll find out later anyway.

Ok, let's not delude ourselves thinking anything we say here has any bearing on the development of a future RPG with the budget and scope of BG3. Anyone who decides to participate here is autistically screeching into the void one way or another. With that said I'm still gonna be shitting on the writing because that's my opinion and go fuck yourself.

It probably has *some* bearing, it just depends on the subject. Devs read Codex, just as they read Reddit and Resetera, and generally as a dev you want to cater to as many people as possible. Sure, no one will remove trannies from the game and piss off a milion redditors just to satisfy some small niche, culture war topics are mostly pointless to discuss, but if you're a dev and see thousands autists on an RPG forums complain about some issue like the tactician being too easy, you might as well throw them some uber-tactician difficulty setting in the next game, since it doesn't cost you much and doesn't piss anyone, etc. Also even if the effect on AAA RPGs is small, majority of RPGs still come from the indie scene, and these games are often heavily impacted by what devs read on some niche internet forum, so any discussion might have an effect on the scene as a whole. If you don't like trannies in BG3, it's probably worth saying it, just so other smaller devs know that there is still a niche interested in non-trannyfied games.

When I picture devs checking in with the Codex, I picture it like one of those movie scenes where you have like the Forbidden Dangerous Object in a sealed vault capable of withstanding a direct nuclear hit, sitting in a force field, tied up with chains and a thousand safeguards and palm recognition devices, with clamps coming off the thing blowing steam

And then afterwards, the dev has to go through a decontamination procedure and a special interview with the HR department like the Replicant interview in Bladerunner.

Since there are no trannies, only a crossdresser in the circus in act 3, they just think you're crazy and dismiss your entire feedback

There are trannies, and you again talk about the whole game, despite still being in act 1 like you admitted yesterday.

Just because I'm still in act 1 doesn't mean I can't read up about other acts. So, what trannies are there?

have you tried to create your character yet?

Good luck with that. Her disappearing is a very common bug.

One of my wishes for Dark Urge is to get more unique kill animations depending on our choices in situations like that. I enjoyed gutting Wyll. Later on, you have the chance to regale someone with your tale of how you killed the detective - one of the options is to tell them you strangled him with his own trunk and I really wish we could have seen that.

 

[welly321]

well then

 

[Avarize]

Completely accurate description, too.

That guys seems to be the writer of Wyll. What a surprise.

 

[Rhobar121]

well then

Looks like something an extremely intelligent goblin would write.

have you tried to create your character yet?

Yes, and?

Nocturne in the House of Grief. Dunno if there's any others

 

[Grauken]

have you tried to create your character yet?

Yes, and?

so there are trannies if you create one

Well, how is Larian responsible if you create a tranny as a player character?
