Baldur's Gate #BaldurGate: Siege of Dragonspear

[Immortal]

Dude in chat told me BG:EE won't be on sale. We'll see though.

I'm not buying that shit full price on principal. GG beamdog.

Infinitron You lying cuck!
BG:EE is now on sale for 75% on steam.

 

[Infinitron]

Hey, the dude was wrong.

They waited a while before discounting it, though. Trying to catch some whales willing to spend the full $40.

 

[Excidium II]

They sure did, I remember in the last steam sale they didn't even give it a discount, while BG2EE was 75% off.

WE DID IT REDDIT

Had to uninstall the mod completely, repair game cache through steam and then install from scratch. Previously I was just trying to reinstall SCS, instead of going the uninstall + install.

I laugh at how now it says "destination unreachable." Locations being grayed out is not enough it seems. It most be moron proof!

They know that some modern Bioware fans will try the game now.

So, is it shit? But more importantly, is it better than Pillars of Eternity?

Gonna play it now.. Just making my character.. Douchius Maximus

Spoiler

FYI: I converted the portrait to a 24BIT BMP already so it should work if anyone wants to use it.

 

[Trodat]

Installing BG:EE and then SoD. Most play testing will go to tomorrow tho.

 

[Dreaad]

There's torrents out already. I'm impressed

Anyway, time to wait for 3 months for patches.

Is that Sawyer...?

 

[Gay-Lussac]

I actually love the new sprite outlines, but it makes my game crazy laggy. I'm running it on a toaster, but you wouldn't think adding little black borders on character would be that graphically intensive...

And when will it be coming to the iPad?

The reviewer lists 'better women characters' as a pro to the game. Then spends a section of the review praising bioware characters and romance. Overall he is pleased with the strong women portrayed in dragonspear.

Day one purchase?

 

[Taskityo]

Oh man, look at that location names fonts. It's so fuckin jarring and out of place.
And now compare it with the old style,



Imagine if the dude that is in charge of these aesthetic design decisions will also "revamp" Fallout.
Boyarsky will turn in his Blizzard grave!

That does look jarring. Although, hopefully they either revert it (make it look better) if they listen to feedback, or someone creates a new map (with old look).

At least most of the UI issues are being complained about on Beamdog forums and they seem to listen to them. Still waiting on content news since I can live with a poor UI.

 

[Kem0sabe]

What a train wreck, the Ui changes, the bugs.

Godamnit these dumbfucks will probably ruin fallout next...

 

[Roguey]

One of the reviews said that the writing is far more Whedonesque than it is Vancian, so I hope you guise enjoy your classic Bioware game as filtered through the lens of modern Bioware principles.



Given his demonstrated RPG-playing abilities, this isn't surprising.

 

[Trodat]

After first 15 minutes couldn't really tell if this was a Bioware game or Beamdog game. Which is good I guess. Time to sleep.

First impression is that it really looks pretty darn good. Like definitely "BG gone IWD" vibes.

 

[vortex]

There was talk in the stream about Pillars of Eternity. It was praised as very good game although not perfect. PoE2 should surpass this to the perfection.

As in BG with lots of combat or what?

 

[Excidium II]

Just watch a gameplay vid and see for yourself.

 

[imweasel]

My impression so far after a few hours:



Other than a few UI problems it feels like an old Bioware game, which is a good thing.

No idea why they are crawling in Obsidian's ass to be nice. Sawyer couldn't care less about SoD (not surprising as a BG hater and Fallout 4 Bethesda retardo-fag) and Avellone left.... Maybe it has something to do with Feargus and Feargus and Cain, I dunno.

 

[oldmanpaco]

Wow, is that real? Why would they do that?
