From our favorite gaming journo

I will never understand why people even bother with what he has to say after this absolutely retarded take on Dragon's Crown:

Wait until you see the abomination he married. Guy has no standing to critique any sort of tastes when it comes to women at all.

So, aaaaanyway, I see that Wizards get spell refreshes between fights. What's the point of Sorcerer then?

Twincasting haste mostly I think
EDIT: And it's useful to have a CHA class to be the face of course

They are definitely first cousins. Or siblings.

The ACG channel had uploaded a "Review in progress" called "Never a Drow moment" but they dropped it because it's probably too early

Of the weasel family.

Imagine getting your channel blacklisted just to have the video out an hour early.

HAWT!

 

[Jermu]

there is a good chance this is going to be the greatest baldur's gate game in the last 20 years

No BG3 will be the first good BG game.

Gonna give myself schizophrenia thinking of the various ways I want to play.
I think I'm going to take 2 Warlock (for agonizing blast) and go the rest in Bard (charisma based leader, no bard companion).
I'll do the usual good (but not lawful stupid) run for my first time around, with this crew probably. Bard is also a class you really want to be good and a team player with, so its not like I'll be a bard Dark Urge on another playthrough.
The background is the good old "tried to make it as a bard, didn't work out, so made a deal with a devil". Sold my soul to Satan to learn to play the guitar.

What the fuck has happened to Codex? An actual cRPG getting launched and instead of a bunch of nerds debating game systems, rat quests and whether 1 point should go into Strenght or Dexterity, there's a bunch of faggots violently atacking a game for having faggots and warring with some wokeness trend like twitter shits in their mouth each morning.

Now that you say it, I don't remember a rat quest.

Well, the game sucks now.

That may have been Arcane Recovery, which is once per day.

So still no preload eh? You need to whip the interns harder, Swen.

 

[FA7]

2 and a half million units sold, chuddie. Cry more.

Ahhh, in this case:

 

[Nerevar]

The Drow doesn't look pretty. Kinda got a manface. They would've done it on purpose too. Makes me mad just looking at it. She's no Valsharess.

It is simply a product of the times worshipping ugliness and faggotry maybe if this game was made when the culture shifts back to beauty and virtue we'd have a nicer game.

Oh well I'll still consume product.

None at all, unless you're a twitch streamer given the press release copy to avoid download times.

Is this satire or are you actually serious?

I was considering bardlock with goolock instead of fiendlock but I want to see what the deal with the multiclassing for full casters is first; if it's as broken as it sounded in the Italian interview it might be fun to play before they inevitably change it

 

[FreshCorpse]

I'm going with Gale, Shadowheart, and Jaheira (depending on when she's available).
"Nature's servant awaits."

Did ever find Jaheira's voice actress? I remember Beamdog saying that she was MIA. A shame if so, her BG2 barks were such kino.

Managed to watch the whole thing before it went private.

Overall, ACG loved it. Said it was everything he hoped it would be and way more. The audio aspects are all outstanding he said. The soundtrack hits, the digetic noises are great, the voice acting is all good. There's something in every nook and cranny. The gameplay and freedom of choice is nuts. Most side quests tie back into the main story and other side quests. He didn't encounter any boring fetch quests.

His only complaints: While it looks amazing, it has frame dips even on a 4090 (didn't say if it was 4K or not). It has a few bugs, like quests not progressing properly and some multiplayer games dropping often. Some quest hints aren't super apparent and aren't clear, which can be frustrating.

He did say Larian asked reviewers to primarily play with M+KB for their reviews. ACG said he played a ton with both M+KB and gamepad and said he was surprised at this, because gamepad works really really well.

He said it's a once in a generation type of game and is seriously incredible and worth playing. ACG also mentioned he played 20 hours in one day because he just could not put it down lol.

Could this guy not have found a clean t-shirt before pressing record? Why do you have to sit in your own house looking like a scumbag?

Swen, stop posting and allow me to start the download of your damned game.
