Larian cultists reviewing BG1/2 - NOW with IWD:EE reviews

"7 Ways To Deal With Retarded People". Or "When Larian Reads The Above Article Before Designing BG3".

1. Consider his/her mental age.
"The first thing to keep in mind while dealing with a mentally retarded person is to understand his mental age and not go by his physical attributes. You must make sure that you speak to the mentally retarded person in a manner that is fitting for his mental age. However, make sure that you do not try to imitate his/her tone or treat or talk to the person as if you talk to a child. You must also be willing to condescend to his/her mental age so that the mentally retarded person feels comfortable to respond to you and talk to you as well".
- I'm assuming Larian has questmarkers? So retarded players can actually play a dumpstat INT/WIS character true to RL.

2. Be Patient.
"Patience is of utmost importance when you are dealing with a mentally retarded person. They may not react to your questions or might be slow in understanding and responding to what you asked him/her. You might have to repeat what you asked in varying tones in order to make the person understand."
- From what I've seen Larian has that covered with how they've handled dialogue.

3. Do Not Be Angry With His/Her Unacceptable Behaviour.
"It is also important to note that mentally retarded people to have sexual urges and curiosities and they might behave in a manner that could be very unbecoming and unacceptable. You must never get angry or annoyed and flare up during such instances, as mentally retarded people do not know what is right and what is wrong".
- Doesn't BG3 have Biowarian romances & tits?. Once again: box ticked.

4. Show Interest In What He/She Does.
"Most mentally retarded people are ignored completely and no one makes an effort to show interest in what they do. Try to understand what their interests are and make sure that you ask questions based on these interests. This will make them happy and interested. If the person has done a task successfully, give him/her a firm pat on the back and appreciate his/her effort that he/she has put in to complete the task with great success".
- Ok, so I don't know if BG3 has furries, but maybe the Mindflayer powers/tentacles may scratch this itch?.

5. Challenge His/Her Mental Capacity.
"Make sure that you give him more challenging tasks so that he can challenge his mental capacity. Though he may not exactly do the task entirely, you must still appreciate the effort after judging the limits that the mentally retarded person might have. This will be a tremendous boost for his/her capacity and you would have given him some happy moments which would be so few in his/her life".
- More romance dialogue = more faps/tits?.

6. Be Calm & Smile Often.
"It is important to treat a mentally retarded person with a lot of love, care, and calmness so that he/she is very comfortable in your presence. Be very gentle when you speak and make sure that you keep a steady and even tone while you talk. Make sure that you are completely relaxed and smile very often when you talk to a mentally retarded person. A genuine smile coming from within your heart can lighten their mood and make them happy.
- And that's why BG3 and all modern games have facial animations. IE is so lame when we had to rely on imagination, an awesome portrait, and well written characters.

7. Do Not Talk In A Raised Voice.
"Mentally retarded people can mistake raised voices as indicative of anger and hence this should be avoided. Always keep a medium tone and it should not be too high or low. Keep in mind the triggers that can irritate the person and can make him/her violent as well".
- Well that's why Larian takes away hollywood level voice actors like Jim Cummings, Frank Welker, and David Warner and replace them with run-of-the-mill no-talent hacks straight off the street with 'authentic' manners of speaking. Like that black dude who sounds like a inner city Londoner with pidgeon English.

I don't know much of anything about BG3, but it seems Larian read this article and had it in mind when they designed the game. So you bigots can't really blame the fans of such a game for not being able to play BG1&2 can you?. I mean, basically, BG1&2 and all of the IE games at this point are (rightly) at risk of being burnt like books for the sheer triggering they must be causing these poor people?.

So: how dare you Codex? How dare you? Think of the retards.

No wonder their games are shit. Literally designed for retards.

And why everyone who mentions Larian modern games in the reviews of BG1/2 are so retarded. There are even a game journalist who failed to beat IWD:EE in story mode and praised DOS2 a lot.

Here is the game journo > with BG/IWD:EE https://youtu.be/kNOjyMGcbRQ
With DOS2 > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=don_Po6fRjM

The necessity to appeal to the lowest common denominator is the greatest cause of decline. Imagine any hobbi, skiing for eg. there are "tracks" for noobs and very hard tracks which only few can traverse. Yet, nobody goes into a ski resort in Bariloche and demands that every track is available for a ski tourist who only practice once per decade. People just go enjoy their hobby in a suited track. No tourism agency or magazine for the hobby would say that if you don't think that every track is for everyone, you are gatekeeping and a "elitist", no articles demanding more "diversity" on professional ski players. With gaming, everything needs to appeal to the lowest common denominator...

Well, we have an opposite approach, here, on the Codex.
Most of us are not patient with retards and the retards are even less patients.
We're angry at them or at least we're perfectly faking it.
We have no interest in the jrpg, walking simulators and RTwP garbage they like so much.
We do raise the "voice"
No smiles allowed.

As far as I know, it didn't help curing any of them of their disease (playing RTwP garbage) but on the other hand, that's not our goal either, we just like to rub their noses in their own shit, it doesn't help them but it feels good so in a sense, it's a personal therapy centered on ourselves, retards be damned, we don't give a shit about your video gaming taste or anything else you'd like.

 

[Chippy]

Darth Canoli Ha! I think you believed me!.

Or is that some superb and prestigious Codexian counter-trolling?.

 

[Nano]

There are even a game journalist who failed to beat IWD:EE in story mode

This is unfathomable to me. Story mode in Beamdog's EEs is almost god mode.

It is literally god-mode. You cannot die in story-mode. It would be impossible to not beat it in that mode.

Story Mode is an enhanced version of Easy difficulty, in which all characters in the party cannot die, have a strength stat of 25 (regardless of the actual value) and are immune to most negative effects, while all enemies can be damaged and killed easily.

Meredoth is just sperging, per usual. There is no such thing as not being able to beat it in story mode.

 

[Bruma Hobo]

I'm not a Larian cultist, I didn't play D:OS 2 and I have zero interest in playing Baldur's Gate 3.

But at least they made some good games in the past, unlike Bioware.

Did you watched the video that I've posted?

Watch from 1:20 to 1:40



If you refuse to listen to a video, I took screenshots from the youtube generated subtitles.

IS not exactly what he is saying but as you can see, "in story mode, he got trapped by enemies that you might not be able to take down(...)" Never underestimate human ignorance. This game journo failed in beating IWD:EE in story mode.

It's ok, Victor, you probably haven't played the EEs or something. Easy is the lowest difficulty, not Story Mode. Story Mode is an optional toggle that you have to select in the options that gives you huge buffs and you can't die. Your screenshots are not on Story Mode. They might be on Easy Mode, but they're not on Story Mode, which is a toggle god-mode.

It's not a codex thread unless at least two regulars are engaged in an energetic discussion about something either completely trivial or non-relevant.

At all times.

OMG. Please. Check the entire video. HE talks a lot about one thing and show different gameplay. He says clearly at 1:32 "cant be killed in the lowest difficulty". Can't be killed = story mode. If this is not story mode, what is? Please. Watch 20 seconds of video before jumping to conclusions. Note that Switch has a different UI. According to what he said, it is story mode.

 

[Morgoth]

Don't watch, just downvote.

I don't know if this is just a result of English not being your first language, but he's giving information on the game. He said as you progress through the game it can become incredibly difficult on the lowest difficulty setting, which again is Easy. This would be true for people that have only played Diablo III. He then said that there are enemies that can't be hurt by anything less than magic, but that magic is not super easy to obtain. This was purely informational rather than "HURR DURR I CAN'T BEAT THIS". He said that you "effectively" can't be killed on the lowest difficulty, but when he's saying that some of the portraits have 0 health, so it was not on Story Mode, because getting to 0 health on Story Mode is literally impossible. On Normal and Easy your companions cannot die permanently, which again is probably more what he was talking about.

All of this to say, I don't watch games "journalists" nor do I read them. I don't know why you would expect them to know anything about THAC0 or AD&D 2e. It seems like you're searching very hard for something to be buttmad about. But once again, acting like a journalist couldn't beat the EEs on Story Mode just makes you look retarded, not superior.

 

[Cryomancer]

If he can t do any damage to a type of enemy which is very common and get surrounded and unable to move, he cant complete the game. Doesnt matter if is in story mode or not. Is that hard to understand???

If he keeps getting "weapon ineffective" messages, regardless of the difficulty, he will never complete.

 

[FriendlyMerchant]

No wonder their games are shit. Literally designed for retards.

The necessity to appeal to the lowest common denominator is the greatest cause of decline. Imagine any hobbi, skiing for eg. there are "tracks" for noobs and very hard tracks which only few can traverse. Yet, nobody goes into a ski resort in Bariloche and demands that every track is available for a ski tourist who only practice once per decade. People just go enjoy their hobby in a suited track. No tourism agency or magazine for the hobby would say that if you don't think that every track is for everyone, you are gatekeeping and a "elitist", no articles demanding more "diversity" on professional ski players. With gaming, everything needs to appeal to the lowest common denominator...

I like how he can't understand tabletop mechanics enough to make characters that are good enough to make the game easier for him to the point where he needs to play on story mode, yet thinks DOS2 has "old school tabletop mechanics."

But he wasn’t saying that he couldn’t, he was saying this could be a common pitfall. Like I said, maybe it’s a language barrier thing.

Yep. Now that people mentioned, I forgot to check Larian cultists in IWD:EE steam store. I searched reviews while I was doing aerobic exercises at the gym, but since taking screenshots and typing in a cellphone is a chore, I only took the screenshots now.

 

[Serus]

Man, combat is shit but at least itemization is amazing, said nobody ever.

But Arcanum comes the closest for someone to make that comment.

But every RTwP fag can and will play TB.

It is only TB fags that refuse to play RTwP, for whatever reason.

And how did you came to this bizarre revelation? Did it came to you in the form of stone tablets or great voice from heaven told you? Perhaps it was a burning bush? Because I remember, here on codex, people who said that turn based is crap (in general) and that they don't play it.
Anyway. It isn't about playing or not playing but about choices. There are or will be in near future a few interesting TB titles. Enough to satisfy my needs for crpg. I don't need to play games with a worse crucial game system if i have a choice. I think that several "TB people" think that way. And i am not complaining. Although I enjoyed IE games 20 years ago i wouldn't care to return to a situation when you can choose only between rtwp and rtwp. However if some "great" rtwp game that everyone would praises will appear, i'll probably try it. And if the "rtwp or rtwp" times return, well, there are also tons of older crpgs that i haven't played.

That video is just bafflingly horrible. He has nothing interesting or meaningful to say and just whines for 5 minutes.

I guess this is baby's first D&D game. Probably. BG1?

I had to look this up my first time for some of the golems. I'm not sure why he couldn't.

I think Nalia explicitly tells you to use fire and acid arrows during her quest. I think this guy has reading comprehension problems.

This thread is fukkin awesome. Retarts proudly admitting they are retarts.

A lot of MY responses to these idiots would be RTFM or GIT GOOD.


Lmao

 

[Zeriel]

Be very careful reading this thread, it can cause brain damage

 

[Stella Brando]

Larian cultists ? Have they obtained the dark knowledge to summon the Sven ? Do they pray to the holy barrel ? What kind of rituals do they exercise ? I hope there is no mass suicide imminent.

This is better writing than a lot of today's games.
