[buzz]

[Merlkir]

Fapping so hard. How am I typing?! Mmmm....guess.

 

[Onholyservicebound]

Gee, don't bother looking through the races and options, let's just choose the default.

 

[mindx2]

Only 5 minutes into the video before Josh starts in on the balance thing... Josh gonna Josh...

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

Solid UI choosable.

 

[dukeofwhales]

It is clear how much effort has gone into making this look identical to the IE games. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love it, but it's also kinda funny.

 

[buzz]

typical DoubleFine fag not getting old skewl

 

[Cynic]

Fucking hell that was awesome

 

[Ramireza]

Is ok, not great, but ok.

 

[Goegoff]

So... firs encounter are wolves? :D

 

[Cynic]

Dunno bros I was pretty impressed. Can't wait to play this shit.

 

[mindx2]

This clearly confirms the idea that this is the Baldur's Gate 3 we never got. I approve

 

[Duraframe300]

It was awesome in that I didn't see anything I could really complain about.

Otherwise it was the intro to the story. From the looks of it a better one than most/all of their games as well.

 

[Sensuki]

There's a lot of these ...

Twitter is on fire. Apparently lots of places have commentary.

Oh man, i can't hide this hard on i've got in work.
I'm so hyped right now, shit, shit, shit. I need to play this N O W.

 

[Perkel]

Love it.

Though i hope those red choices will be hidden unless you have the skill. There is nothing more stupid than to show choice you can't fucking make and it also destroys next play-trough as you know what you can expect having for example high inteligence or being thief.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was an option. (Or is requested and granted as such during beta)

 

[MasterSmithFandango]

It looks beautiful - I really like the art design and the animations looked nice.

I fucking hate the RTwP... I'm just looking at that wishing it was TB.

 

[Rivmusique]

It's cool that you can see the item sets you don't have equipped on the character model. Fighter is going to be a bloody pack mule.

That one wolf fight brought the girl to ~50% HP

I couldn't really see any indicators for engagement, were they going to put circles or something to show a creatures "threat" area? I did notice the player intentionally triggering engagement attacks to show it off at the end though.

 

[Perkel]

Yeah imo this is probably to show people/journalists how many choices there are if they choose other classes.

edit:

also 60fps video !
