Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

[S.torch]

Which one ?

None of them. DnD is a soulless husk.

Arcanum is the #1 best CRPG ever made. Nothing else even comes close.

Combat was garbage so it can never be #1

Planescape: Torment says "hello".

I recall that originally there was another more minimalistic cover with the Sigil symbol intended to be used, but the suits demanded a more conventional one with TNO's face on it.

That cover is great actually. Bold colors. Quite striking.

Some of the best RPGs ever have "garbage" combat. Morrowind, Fallout 1-2.

the fun animations definitely save the fallout combat

Yes. Arcanum's ruleset might be unbalanced as fuck, but it's fun. So many different things to invest your character points in, and so many different character types to play - even more than Fallout.

So many builds, not a one of them fun to play. Melee fighter? Nope. Spellcaster? Nope. Gunslinger? Nope. Techbuilder? Nope. Thief? Nope. Diplomat? Nope.

It's a hypothetical great game where the reality is crushing disappointment.

All of these character builds are fun to play. Arcanum is an improvement on Fallout in every way.

It’s an improvement in many ways, but not every way.

Arcanum needed autocontent generation and better graphics. They kinda dug hole for themselves when they designed it. They had too small team to make properly feeling living world.

Yes, they did. Made it gory and fun. Fun animations, but also awesome critical effect tables.
No other game ever came close to making criticals this fun.
Arcanum combat is very bland, repeatable and boring by comparison.


Incidentaly, its a similar case with Planescape: Torment combat. It might be simplistic, but still fun due to over the top jrpg spell animations and broken spells and abilities.
Missile of Patience... I don't remember many spells that creative in other games. Or any other level 1 spells half as powerful :D
Mechanus' Cannon was the bees' knees!

I was right all along and all the BearGay 3 hype is all bots and shills.

Strong cope, BG3 sold 15+ million copies and is the most successful CRPG in history.

Even the BG3 subreddit has 2+ million subs. Meanwhile we have a few old neckeards crying and coping here on codex about muh beargay 3.

Have you seen the subreddit?

Its cosplayers, waifu fags and queers. It makes Persona fandom look sane!

What can I say? BG3 has a lot of passionate fans. No other CRPG has managed to invoke such emotions in gamers.

Yeah hence why they're overrated and nobody cares about them besides nostalgia boomers.

BG3 is the total package and the best CRPG ever.

You were supposed to post this from your Swen account.

Will they ever go back and make a sequel to Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga? Because I sure as fuck want to see Damian stamped into nonexistence once and for all.

Morrowind is nowhere close to be a "best RPG ever" and Fallout 1 and 2 have more than serviceable combat (at least as far as you can rely as little as possible on the retarded automated companions).

If you wanted a better example Ultima VII would have been a better pick. Now that is a timeless classic and in many ways still a gold standard in the genre, regardless of having one of the worst combat systems ever seen (in fact, it barely had something that could be considered one).

Apparently Sven said that their next game is not going to be a Divinity game........ I will also be surprised if Larian makes an ARPG anytime soon cause Sven seems to still have PTSDs of publishers saying no to turn based games back in the past.

Larian cannot make anything but Divinity games. No different than how Bethesda cannot make anything but Oblivion.

They have a little bit of clout now with The creators of Baldurs Gate 3 going for them. They could do a new IP. But they need to do their homework and fucking nail the setting. A "fantasy" setting is a safe bet but I'm hoping they try perhaps Sci-Fi, or something different. Good luck Sven and team. Don't fuck this up.
