They massively slowed down the progression between levels 4 and 5 again. I did almost all overland content in act 1, and I'm still only halfway to 5.

Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
this looks like pure, modern day BioWare decline. what are you all doing?

oh yeah, consuming

On a related note--- It is sorta wild how sub-par the graphics are when compared to things like Elden Ring, God of War, FF7 reboot, etc. It reminds me SO much of Neverwinter Nights 2 (especially the janky walking animations which seem to be missing like 10 frames at least so look very jerky) which is like 20 years old now. It is very clear they just tweaked the Divinity 2 engine as its a near duplicate and that was simply a tweak of the D:OS engine which dropped in 2014 nearly 10 years ago.

Everything looks really plastic & cartoonish because the specular maps on the textures are cranked up to 11 its like everyone's skin is made of shiny vinyl or latex. It is a bit jarring compared to more modern games that at least attempt some realism. Oversaturated color palette doesn't help too. This is a Larian thing because both Divinity games were like this as well, I was just hoping they toned it down for BG3 but no such luck. It's like a LEGO world or something, very odd looking.

Just went to check the Larian forums out of curiosity and as I reach the page it says in size 72 characters "This account has been suspended".
Not just banned from the forum for something I did or said. I literally can't even see the entire domain even cancelling my cookies.
No idea what happened, unless in the last two days of barely-even-going-there my split personality stabbed Swen in his sleep.

This bear love simulator is going to be GOTY.

Codex is going to break down. There's going to be fire in the threads and riots in the subforums.

Ah, yes. About that topic... are you going to point out that female voice lines weren't locked to female characters and vice versa, going all the way to BG II? Or should we?

At least if you're going to shit post, put some effort into it. You're gonna make us blush otherwise.
Tbh, I wasn't even caring to engage on whole genitals mix-and-match thing, I just wish he'd stop trying to milk the thread for attention, especially given he has no interest in BG3 (or any cRPG).

It's insane that in over9000 years this game was in the EA, they managed to record 174 hours of cinematic cutescenes, but they didn't manage to make a fucking usable UI. What RPG game has no way to preview what your class/race will actually get at higher levels? Yeah, very cool, very tactical, just surprise me Swen, who would want to actually plan their fucking build in a turn based tactical RPG.

Also people who are familiar with 5e are going to have an aneurysm over the balance.

When you're some level one shlub and you find the first merchant in the game selling +1 magic weapons for 80 gold.

You've got to wait for the Enhanced Edition.

BG3 is shaping up to be game of the decade, and is a FANTASTIC experience. But if an unusable UI is a deal breaker for yourself, and would lead to a truly poor experience for you, then you need to be smart and not play it at release. Be sensible with your expectations.

2. looks like from Nier.

2 5 8 looks decent. Other haircut looks either wrong for her ethnicity/skin/face type, or these haircuts are atrocious.
Obviously they selected one of worst.

BTW people who are not using shoes or sandals outside don't use the above pants. For obvious reasons.
