Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Gradenmayer]

Fucking hell, all the cool class combinations have some sort of redundancy or no-fun-allowed rules.

Just pick shadow monk, Swen even gave it an xcl00sive teleporting attack that never existed in tabletop.

Everything is better than the base version of the monk. Only champion is more boring.

Monks got huge buffs by Larian. Extra ki, 1d6 unarmed off the bat, new spells (especially for 4 elements- their spells will level up).

sdg sorceress?

Got halfway through ToB and decided to roll a new character for fun.

I got a 96.... Maybe I should play another playthrough before Bg3 comes out how many more days do I have? I could do BG1 Just get the tomes and XP cap and then export to BG2.

Not sure what your intentions here are. Why ruin the aftertaste of fine wine with a plate of dung?

the "fine wine" in question. the more i see of bg 1 & 2 the more i realize it's mostly just rose tinted goggle-posting. getting very difficult to take people seriously when they criticize BG3 writing/voice acting as goofy etc. it's like, compared to what?

lolwut, the protagonist in BG 3 isn't a traditional "Chosen One". You get randomly kidnapped by the Nautiloid along with thousands of other people you find again and again already in Act 1, most of whom have the same parasite as you. You're only special because you were at the wrong spot in the wrong moment, and you're not more important than anyone else with the tadpole in their brain

little do they know we are the Player, with all the capacity for meta knowledge and worst of all (for them), the ability to savescum

Yes yes we've already passed the usual Codex revisionism phase

 

[ChildInTime]

Just tried the Early Access version. I'm wondering, what options are you guys using for best anti-aliasing? Everything either looks blurry, or still have aliasing. Should I use DLSS? Kinda looks blurry there too, though

DLAA works great, you also need at least 1440p monitor.

 

[Serus]

Oh boy, Larian have "innovated" the "Doubly-Chosen One".

Mask of the Betrayer, Obsidian Entertainment. You're both the shard bearer/Kalach-Cha and the Spirit-Eater, what are the odds?

If people dislike chosen one stories, they should avoid fantasy

That's only true (maybe) when it comes to high fantasy Tolkien-esque stuff. Since when this is whole fantasy? It's certainly not in literature (there are whole sub-genres of fantasy that usually avoid the theme). It isn't even in games. There are still crpg with stories like: "party of random murder-hobos going on a quest a rampage to gain gold, fame and pussy". In the mainstream crpgs the chosen one theme dominates(?) but since when fantasy=mainstream fantasy computer/console games?

As a side note, I remember people writing that they want more sword & sorcery 15 years ago and we still don't see Conan-like computer RPG. One of closer ones was Battle Brothers and that says something considering it is barely a crpg in the first place.

Most cRPGs are high fantasy though and that's what sells. So, chosen one narratives are here to stay whether you like it or not

They are high fantasy but a high fantasy crpg does not necessary mean a "chosen one" theme. In the mainstream/AAA category it might be prevalent (is it really?) but I don't care about those. Also: write "fantasy CRPG" not just "fantasy" if that's what you mean.

 

[Orud]

Let me guess, you sold your house to pay for your PC and live in a cabin?

He says he lives in Ghent. The only thing a mere mortal can afford in Ghent is: a closet, carboard box or dirty shack.

We are in General RPG discussion, so when I say fantasy I obviously mean that, don't be a dunce

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

I went to a party in Ghent once. The guys said everyone's gonna be white there, unlike Brussels. "Just pretend to speak Flemish and they'll let us in." So off we went. We faked our way into the night clubs. Everyone was arabs and turks, like everywhere else in Belgium. That's my memory of Ghent.

 

[rojay]

So apparently Larian are recommending that if you have the EA version installed you delete all saves and uninstall the game before installing 1.0.

Go to the Overpoort

We need to resolve that black pirate tavern owner stuff.

First we need to get proper photo of that pirate owner.
Second we need to deliver a copy of that photo to authorities with explanation about why they should arrest that owner. And we should send another copy of that photo to the owner with notice that someone vile informed authorities about her/his crimes, so he/she has time to bail out.
Third hire protection to save us from enraged pirate/authorities before they arrive.
Fourth create a detailed map of representation of genetics where they are living to have proper statistic if pirates are common, and if black pirates are more common than non black pirates.

So which parts of the above map are populated by people that are over 90 percent of black homo sapiens? Drows are drows, thus they should be called drows not blacks.

EXACTLY because we are in "general rpg" subforum you need to be precise.

 

[Fedora Master]

Modern Fearun is like Brazil. You think they have actual human ethnically homogenous places?
Fuck, lemme check Rime of the Frost Maiden and I guarantee you there's niggers in Icewind Dale now.

Minsc is the free space on the shit writing bingo card. He was bad back then and will be bad now. Only normies like him.

BG1 in general has always had super wonky writing, especially its cringe humor.

BG2 is much better and I won't accept any slander.

 

[Fedora Master]

You know, if they set a module in the "ethnic" parts of FR like Thay or Kara-Tur I very much doubt there'll be random white people NPCs turning up. Just a hunch.

 

[Late Bloomer]

Only as a villian or a lowly fetcher.

 

[Aphex81]

ITT, not every fan of this game is a degenerate.

This gurl plays the harp, cello, flute and clarinet besides singing. Waifu material if you ask me.

What did this girl have to do to get the gig Swen? We know it's not her "talent".
