Would you prefer if Baldurs Gate 3 was 2d or 3d?

[Nifft Batuff]

Let's focus. The real question is if Baldur's Gate should be with two or three tits.

I want 2d with prerendered backgrounds, sprites and paper dolls.

if you haven't played Underrail you should, omgitzheavan

Kingmaker

staring at the loading screen for 30 seconds and realizing i could be playing the fucking game on that picture was one of the major turning points in my life

3D by far, which it will be. It's going to be a FF15-like, action combat with a party. It shall be glorious.

 

[Ibn Sina]

Neither, I want it 4D

 

[Background Character]

I prefer if it wasn't made, now put the drill to my head and don't stop no matter how much I scream

Pillars of Eternity is 3d (yeeeeaaa I get it - it's 2.5d with pre-rendered backgrounds, but technically it's 3d). In matter of how it looks, it's pretty much identical to purely 2d infinity engine based games like bg, or iwd, and it doesn't make any diffrence for me. What you're probably asking is whether anyone likes very specific aestethics, locked camera position, camera distance (which results in really wide field of view), and level of detail that is put into environment. Debate 2d vs 3d is basically bullshit, well except 3d graphics in most crpg titles are rather low(ish) effort, since there is much more to take care of than in other genres. So from my point of view it would be great to see level of detail and incredible graphics that exist for example in Anthem, or maybe some incredible souls like intricate vertical level designs, but taking into account how massive and expensive that is, I would prefer same workload/money to be put into writing, implementation of some fancy in-game mechanics and additional features or generally speaking content.

 

[Comte]

Where is the "I prefer it is never made" option?

 

[Crispy]

I don't give a flying fuck as long as it's not in Unity.

 

[Crispy]

I guess that was a retarded comment because Unity is nothing but 3D, but its games all feel like 2D so fuck you too, luka.

First person "action" RPG for maximum buitthurt is what I hope.

 

[Beastro]

If 2D is superior to 3D, surely 1D would be even better? Or how about 0D? Now that would be classy (not to mention economical on asset development front).

This, but also actually good like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, so that the people who hate that it's an ARPG get even more upset when they realize they're enjoying it.

3D with turnable camera. I'm playing PoE 1 for the first time now and i hate that i can't turn the camera for better angles. There's no reason to be archaic imo, not much benefit in 2d RPGs over 3d other than nostalgia.

 

[samuraigaiden]

I hate isometric games where you can turn the camera.

I guess you don't like it when vehicles have wheels that turn as well.

 

[samuraigaiden]

I definitely don't see the need to control the camera in a racing game either, I'll tell you that much.

2d so i can run on my potato

Don't underestimate the capacity of modern devs to make games run poorly even without "next gen" graphics.

True, if by "nostalgia" you mean "area backgrounds that don't look like piss and vomit".

The best looking 3D RPG is Divinity Original Sin 2 and it still looks like shit when compared to PoE 2.

 

[Tytus]

Y no 2.5D option?

 

[CyberWhale]

I want Boulder's Gate 3 to be a third person cover shooter.

If it was given to inXile instead of Larian, then maybe your dreams would see the light of day.

PoE 2 is 3d though.
