Just started, normally i would play as two handed sword wielding gigachad warrior/ paladin type but this time i wanted to try something different. Im going to play as Valamir, human Ice Mage who pursues his goal of obtaining hermetic knowledge by punching people in the face.

EDIT:
XD this was supposed to be in Black Geyser thread

I had a gypsy bf ten years ago he wasn't great in bed but kissed fantastically he was very romantic sentimental not so hardworking man
I suggested adding such npc to black geyser but developers said they had no time budget for an additional npc. Could have been good for a great romance or one.night.sex element for the game.

guys is this game actually decent? I've been thinking about diving into a new RPG and I am a BG and BG2 fan. I also like PoE 1 White march. Let me know if you recommend I try this. Thanks

It's not going to make you forget Baldur's Gate, but it was a decent game when I played it 6 months ago, and it appears they've continued fixing bugs and adding content. The visuals get a lot better after the first area or two.

Same, it was fun although not BG2 levels of greatness. Hopefully if devs make a sequel they can flesh out the companions a lot more.

Companions are one of the most important pieces in a CRPG.

How is it with the adventure part, are there any puzzles? Two or three ways to solve the map? Items to use at certain places, etc.? Or is it just kill everything on the map, pick up some herbs, open two chests, talk to one NPC, rinse and repeat on another map?

It is what it looks like. "I like Baldur's Gate 1 so much I will make a clone on a modest budget" the game.
It's... okay.

If the loading times have been worked on at all, I'd give it a modest recommend.
If not, eh, it's not bad. It's also not very good. The loading times will probably get to you before you finish it though.

It's probably the only game that actually feels like BG1 other than BG1, so it's unique in that respect I guess?

Game is on 40% sale, first time.

I have bigger breasts (real genuine 1s)

 

[ItsChon]

Is this game any good? How long is it, and how does it actually compare to Baldur's Gate?

The game is alright. It will scratch your Baldur's Gate itch but you'll feel like you ate some cheap fast food rather than a nice home cooked meal. I will say though out of all of the newer crpgs we've gotten Black Geyser feels the most like Baldur's Gate.

GreenMagicSpell how dare your tits hide behind such platitudes

Disgrasful

 

[GreenMagicSpell]

40% sale again for anyone interested.

BTW Black Geyser just the Bronze Medal of Game Of Teh Year awards of 2022 - Best RPG category on RPGWatch among players, only Elden Ring and ELEX 2 was able to beat it.

So it is not so much the taste of shit but the "whole slop it all over yourself and suck it off someone else at the office orgy" thing that they love?

 

[covr]

It's a nice game with a very simple writing and pretty complex mechanics.

 

[Justinian]

Is it worth 20 bucks? How does it compare to the most obvious competitor (Pillars 1/2)?

 

[SpoonFULL]

Every time I want to click on the buy button for Black Geyser, I read the consistent negative Steam reviews about the very long loading times (even with a SSD) - which is made worse with every transition from one region/room to the next. Has this been resolved as I have not seen any technical update regarding this matter?
