Damn, where did you find Crispy 's photo?

I will only play if the game has romances in it. It's like a big deal for me.

Wonder if it will be like PoE2 where every male companion, in particular, is aiming lustfully at the violation of my butthole two minutes after joining the party.

It's like Larian is suffering from some kind of Orwellian psychosis. Their job was to make Baldur's Gate, BALDUR'S GATE, not more D:OS.

You can't just say "guys check it out it's the forgotten realms and the city has the name so we must be making Baldur's Gate lolol" when you ditch all the other basics like a modular world map, combat that isn't based on clicking all your generic-looking skill icons in order, RTwP, classic UI and a toned down aesthetic where armor looks sensible. It really bothers me how we keep getting these shit remakes of old classics because developers seemingly never sat down and thought about what made the originals great.

He doesn't give a fuck about BG fans. They have no self-esteem and they represent a minority. He knows most players didn't play and will never play BG again. That's his target audience right there.

Since this will be pure TB are the old fans really upset it isn't RTWP? I'd think they'd want turn based.

Yes, obviously making a successor to BG2 means abandoning everything learned during the past two decades; obviously everything after infinity engine has only been decline.
Fuck that.
I'm currently replaying BG1 and liking it but I can only stand some of the issues because of nostalgia and the realisation that 'they didn't have that back then'.

If they copy/paste 80% of D:OS2, fix the annoying armor/shielding thing, tone down Sven's surfaces fetish and replace Divinity's jokes, gimmicks and itemization with D&D-fantasy legendary items and storytelling; this'll easily be GOTY.

Hello, there's a new thread: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.p...meplay-reveal-previews-and-interviews.132070/

What's the problem with "Larian" itemization? It's a serious question, I never played D:OS 1 and 2 because I can't stand the writing and I never managed to go past the first few levels.

Larian itemization: 2-handed sword of sparks and healing - very diablo-like, each name just represents some stat boost

BG1/2 itemization: Berserker's Edge - Paragraph about weapon history and unique effects.

Kind of a question of how strict they are with 5e itemization.

You can only have three attuned magic items and it is extremely rare to find any that add + damage, etc. beyond +1. That sort of think (+1d6 fire damage) quickly breaks the math (and the designers even balance the game without factoring in magic items).

So, basically a toned down version of Ed Greenwood's lore endorsed by Mike Mearls.
