Game News Larian is making Baldur's Gate 3

[DeepOcean]

D:OS 2 Codex GOTY.

Wizards of the Coast are finally making a high class D&D CRPG for the first time in a decade.

I am excited and also disappointed because that grand RPG in Divinity universe Sven was talking about is pushed further away. And we won't get Divinity 3 (which might be that RPG) anytime soon.

Well, define soon. I think it could easily be their next game after this one.

 

[Don Peste]

I'll buy it if they release it on Epic. I like to have all my games on the same platform.

deterministic system > RNG

 

[soulburner]

So... umm... how do we know it's going to be turn based? The fact that both D:OS games were and that Larian has experience with it doesn't automatically make BG3 so.

Anyhow, I'm excited, I think Larian can make BG3 "right" and yes, I think their writing style will fit the BG universe nicely.

 

[Gwendo]

An improved DOS2 engine, including TB combat system on a Forgotten Realms set sounds pretty great.

OTOH, Larian might respect the RTwP tradition of this series... I hope not.

God-damned now we wait for E3!
Bhaalspawn's story is over, I wonder what they'll pull off here.
Hope it's a good addition to the storyline and they haven't just picked the name primarily for cash grabbing

They could make him the antagonist, though I doubt they'll do something like that.

 

[Roguey]

Imagine being Feargus Urquhart and seeing Swen Vincke just stomp all over you.

OK, how'd we go from D:OS 2 Codex GOTY and a fairly positive reception to Divinity: Fallen Heroes...

I bet that when it turns out that this game will have 3d graphics with rotatable camera 99% of codexers will be fapping like crazy to this game.

 

[Infinitron]

That wasn't a joke! https://rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=10819

 

[Jrpgfan]

Yeah, it would be tragic if this was made Larian style whimsical. The writing is truly at risk.

"My hotel is as clean as an elven arse."

"Go for the eyes Boo!"

Bioware writing is shit too, so it's six of one and half a dozen of the other.

Never been a big fan of neither Larian nor Bioware anyway so it's whatever for me.

 

[luj1]

What, you think I'm joking? https://rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=10819

turbo-shill mode engaged

 

[luj1]

Quickly! Commence the retrospectives before its too late

 

[Infinitron]

*Completely neutral observation about a game*

WTF YOU SHILL OMG OMG HOW CAN YOU BE SUCH A SHILL OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

- a day in the life of luj1

 

[Valky]

There's some hope here, because Larian makes proper turn based games instead of that fucking gayass RTWP cancer.

OK, how'd we go from D:OS 2 Codex GOTY and a fairly positive reception to Divinity: Fallen Heroes to this post getting a bunch of Prosper ratings?

Idiots who want RTwP for some retarded reason.

I’d be extremely surprised if this wasn’t turn based.

Although, then the question is: Which edition? 5th ed seems weird for such an old series that goes back to AD&D, but they’ll probably get around that anyhow.

What. Can you imagine the reaction if BG3 is turn-based? Have you forgotten the shit storm when inXile announced Numanuma is gonna be TB?

BG3 is gonna be RTwP 100% or I'll eat exlusively my own shit for the rest of my life.

There is shit and then there is shit. Larian and BG2 era BioWare writing aren't remotely in the same category.

If writing was food I wouldn't even feed Slavs Larian's writing. Fucking Russians who barely can write (nevermind in English) are better writers. In fact, they should probably fire their entire writing staff and replace it with eastern Europeans.

 

[Jasede]

Larian is shit

 

[Crescent Hawk]

Great cant wait for even more obnoxious written Jaheira to hate fuck.

 

[Mustawd]

What. Can you imagine the reaction if BG3 is turn-based?

I’m betting the reaction will be higher sales and a few bitching and moaning.

Spending time on Codex made you highly delusional. There's a whole wide world out there. And it loves RtwP.
That's why I'm building my own rocket to gtfo this gay earth.
