That Lambchop/Edgy Gamer annoying nigger will play dozens of hours as well.
I dropped Wrath of the Tranny shortly after the tutorial when content became insufferably leftist with no signs of improvement. Thankfully Steam support helped me with my refund issues, in spite of being over time.

That's unlikely here though, since I already played the Early Access for at least a dozen hours before they announced any trannyism in the game - which all happened this year.

So I plan to get my money's worth out of the game, and probably mod out all the trannyism just like I did with Stellaris' blacks. :M

I found the Original Sins to be kind of a drag so I wasn't too interested in BG3 until recently, now I'm starting to think it might be worth checking out. What's the kurrent konsensus?

Judging from the EA, it's DOS 3 with way more content and a much higher budget due to the big name IP.

They also fucked up 5e in some ways but allegedly it's otherwise pretty faithful to the pnp rules.

I'll probably buy it and play it at some point, and then give up after the first act like I did with DOS 2. Unless there is high reactivity to me playing like a genocidal LG paladin, then I'll see where it goes.

I was expecting a monstrosity, but she looks normal.
The Flanders (where Larian is situated) are quite conservative. If you want to find monstrosities in Belgium, you'll (mostly) only find them in the 'Green' party and the media based in the capitol.

To try first run on Tactician mode or not... That is the real question.

I didn't play through DoS2 to the end. How bad are Larian when it comes to combat design/balance?

And it's not even a good excuse to prevent preloads. The game is releasing in sub-48 hours.
Who gives a shit about people playing EA? They won't be able to continue those runs shortly anyway. Makes far more sense to dump EA and go right to preloads for the masses

They claim that STEAM doesn't allow pre-load for titles already out on EA, but that sounds a bit fishy. Not sure if it's true.
It is. For that to be possible, they would need to have two separate titles available, which is not that common. I expected that they would move the current EA version to a beta branch and have the full version as a preload, but that is also not possible due to how files are encrypted for preloads.

The math adds up. If people are playing on 0.9 and you implement pre-load for 1.0, then EA players would be updated to 1.0 and have their saves broken, and 1.0 would still have to be locked until release, so at that point nobody could play either version. Don't fuck your EA testers.

EA is long over, as is EA testing. Larian submitted the game files for Steam distribution quite a few days ago already, according to Swen.
Logical business sense would be to not piss off the paying customers on launch day, rather than worry about the relatively very small number still playing EA.

Fextralife just confirmed you definitely can respec SH into other domains

Nobody has made a statement to the contrary. What people are saying now is that respeccing class of class-sensitive companions will break plot/dialogue.

Because the update hints that this will be the case. Contrary to what Swen said (he specifically said the game would completely ignore companion respecs when it came to companion interactions).
