Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Yosharian]

Fextralife is talking about Darkvision as if it still affects attack rolls. It doesn't. According to players I'm speaking to right now.

 

[Morgoth]

Anyone else having the no audio/sound issue? The logo sound plays fine but then in the main menu there's no sound, and when I try and start a new game, still no sound.

I tried multiple sources, both hdmi and just from audio jack, nothing works.

Tried updating nvidia drivers, tried switching to studio drivers.

Restarted PC a few times.

Anyone got any ideas?

You got Windows Sonic for Headphones enabled? Disable it.

 

[Fedora Master]

The game makes Shadowheart out to be this brooding Goth GF but really she's just timid.

The game makes Shadowheart out to be this brooding Goth GF but really she's just timid.

It's part of her backstory.

Also, I have to be surprised at the amount of people surprised that tieflings act like tieflings.

 

[Darth Valer]

according to the other codex thread, they made shield last until a long rest.

shield spell looking... pretty good (no mention about single time)

Larian really can't into balancing.

This is actually more bullshit than my rogue infini-stealth shenanigans. I'm having a really hard time not just having this as a spell because I will absolutely abuse it by having it perma cast on my party if I take it as a prepared spell.

It don't work none like that. The first attack you dodge with Shield ends the buff, and it should be 100% of the times the attack on which reaction you cast it. Don't know why it's labeled this way

 

[Vasya]

I'm trying to enjoy this, but it feels like a cringe tabletop dnd session with a typical Netflix scriptwriter as a DM.

 

[DemonKing]

Game is even fun when you screw up - I just tried to rescue a gnome strapped to a spinning windmill blade and pressed the wrong button and he spun off into orbit. Definitely a game to go with the flow rather than save scum through.

I also burst into a barn to discover a bugbear doing a female ogre from behind. Wonder if she even noticed…

Only issue I have so far is that none of the voice sets are really suitable for my hulking Dragonborn warrior, but game runs well and no real bugs so far.

 

[HammyTheFat]

Is anyone else getting a bug where if they skip through conversations too much their UI vanishes and they have to talk to a npc just to bring it back?

I'm here to engage in turn based combat not listen to British people talk.

I hate this mage guy. "Ahoy, mate! Thanks for getting me out of that portal - quite a jam I was in, if I say so myself. My name's Arsefuck, roguish mage, and I'm here because I'm what Larian think teenage girls want in a man. Now, let's tally ho, shall we?" Here's an idea, get off my team. Dickhead.

Dude the fuck. I met this mage guy like five seconds ago, and I've just walked into the bit of the grove where they're about to execute the goblin prisoner. I save her life and mage guy takes me aside to say "YOU'VE SHOWN INCREDIBLE COURAGE SINCE WE MET. I'VE... REALLY GROWN TO TRUST YOU". I don't think he even knows my name.

"WE'VE BEEN ON THE ROAD TOGETHER A WHILE NOW, HAVEN'T WE?" No? The distance you've walked with me is about half a trip to my local store in real life.

Wouldn't want to keep the players waiting too long before the verbose declarations of love start rolling in, we might get bored otherwise.

You're going to really, really enjoy your dark urge playthrough.

New all time high. Better than Fallout 4

BG3 haters on suicide watch

By the time people with shitty internet download the game, it might even break 500k.

Nope, don't have that enabled, tried enabling it, still no dice.

Just tried and rolled back to previous nvidia driver version, no dice still.

tried changing from 48khz to 44khz, and tried from 24 bit to 16 bit, nothing makes a difference wtf!

What I notice though is that game has a plenty of "you die" outcomes if you play on high def.

Man this world of magic sure is filled with bandits. Some are very cunning and try to lure you into a trap (traditional or....of a different nature).
It is in the best interest of every conscious citizen of this land to be vigilant in these trying times and take precautions.

Bandit:
Before:

And after:

The combat log agrees with me.

Do you?

 

[Fedora Master]

huh, stuck in the chamber Nettie brings you to it seems. The stone door is open but I can't go outside. Great.

 

[ADULF HITLOR FAN KLUB]

I won‘t touch this game with a 10 feet pole, so no way to check, but I‘m sure both Pillars games are 10x better than this gay shit. Give me Josh over that belgian faggot any time.

These faggots are still in their honeymoon phase, or what I like to call the consumer phase, because they are easily impressed by anything that's shiny and new.

Nope, the game is a huge hit. Swen won. Globohomo won.

Expect CRPGs to be marketed with gay bear sex, zoophilia, woke character creators, ugly "trannified" women and tons of other degenerated shit from here on out, because that is obviously what sells.

It probably reached the million on all platforms: PS5, PC and Xbox.

 

[Arbiter]

Genitals choice: Vulva B, Vulva C, what the fuck?

Is this real... omg

At least Diablo 4 does not have that.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

- Whatchu want?
- I want to look like my favorite character, Shadowheart.
- Say no more.

Reinstall the latest graphics driver (v536.67) again and restart Windows. According to a quick search, this seems to fix the problem.

Edit: Also skip Steam/GOG and launch the executable (bg3_dx11.exe) directly.

OK, now I'm in ragequit mood. Two things:-

1) trying to avoid slut/faggot shit in camp discussion options is like looking for a fucking needle in a haystack - every option seems to be about fucking furthering the fucking "adult relationship" - or just fucking. It's worse than those discussions with Sosiel in PFWOTR, the devs seem to be determined to get degenerate shit going asap. (Although it has to be said my character is incredibly handsome and attractive, so I can hardly blame them ).

2) The camp is gigantic and luxuriously appointed - when the fuck did we pick up all that shit? We should barely be able to get a cooking pot and some filthy rags together. It's like a "luxury camp" mod ffs.

On the plus side, I enjoyed that wee Harpy fight.

BG3 is anti woke since you can kill any degenerate you want.

It's jarring because in EA you would build up to that. You literally started out with the shit camp fire and you'd get more stuff overtime.

Now you immediately go to camp for the first time and it's luxury everywhere even for party members THAT YOU DONT HAVE.

 

[Yosharian]

I guess there won't be many good multiclass builds.

You know nothing mate, multiclassing is the route to some absolutely bonkers stuff in this game

The camp is a clusterfuck of bad decisions. Just layers of shit. Like missing out on huge chunks of the story and plotline cutscenes if you don't rest after every dialogue. Which makes no sense. The average player will be missing out on 90% of companion-related story, some of which isn't really optional and was meant to be part of the core storyline (for example, tadpole stuff).

The whole game feels like a wildly ambitious pile of nonsense. Like, there are a lot of cool ideas in there, but it doesn't gel, has tons of design flaws, and there's no "soul". I find myself just not really caring what happens, there's no anchor to lock onto, despite a few cool moments here and there.

Bg3 is anti woke because bears don’t need consent
