Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Drakortha]

I find out PoE was a good game, Codex always in shape. If it goes on like this, it will turn out that DA:I will be loved on Codex.
Let's be serious PoE cannot be defended in any way.

Larian fags feel threatened by PoE. That's enough reason for it to be defended.

Do fights in BG3 take as long as in DOS?

Larian clearly loves splash damage options and barrel nonsense, but those have been greatly reduced compared to the DOS games.

Also you don't have that dual armor system idiocy, and less painting of surfaces. Enemies are also less tanky.

But it's also a low-level adventure, so prepare for most of your initial combat to just seeing "Miss!" messages.

Low levels (3-8) are always best without all the retarded shit that comes at high levels

 

[ferratilis]

Da fck you're talking about? Itemization greatly improved and UI is good enough.

Greatly improved compared to dogshit itemization in DOS2 still doesn't mean it's good. Good itemization is about scarcity and quality > quantity.

And if a developer can't handle that, at least they should provide good UI design. Which is what both Pathfinder games did. They throw tons or random (and useless) items at you, but at least the UI helps you deal with it. Larian, on the other hand, actively tries to make the experience annoying. Or they just don't care at this point.

That hasn't been my experience. If anything the lack of misses is truly astounding for a D&D game. I just assumed it was a 5e thing.

Laughable. At best, people may consider you retarded.
Nobody in their right mind will defend PoE.

Has Sawyer already jumped off the bridge or is he still hesitating?

 

[Elthosian]

The fact you can't normally kill/attack through dialogue normally even when it would make sense is dumb.

Wat? You can force-attack like in the IE games. You want it explicitly through the dialogue options.

You can start combat with another character while your 'face' is speaking. No complaints in that department from me.

Woah, that's more than any Bethesda game and even the latest COD, and it's not even Sunday yet

"Go Woke, Go Broke", they said.

Well they lied.

You were as delusional as the woke snowflakes that hoped Hogwarts Legacy would flop.

If this were any other RPG, I'd call you a dirty cheater. But itemization and UI in this game suck ass, so it's perfectly justified.

Even after two successful Divinity games, Larian has learned nothing about itemization.

I just like hoarding things. Nothing personnel. Inventory limit gets in the way of that.

The visuals were very nice imo, and PoE2 looked even better (I only saw screenshots of the latter tho, not playing that shit).

My experience may be slightly different since I'm constantly fighting mobs 2-3 levels higher than me, but my AC is also absurdly high.

My usual combat is just a string of unbroken misses between melee combatants. Most of the major damage is caused by kicking someone off a ledge.

Speaking of which, any fight that has a cliff or ledge can be cheesed. The AI is incredibly dumb when it comes to ledges, and it's super satisfying to Leonidas kick em off, which does a fuckton of damage depending on fall distance.

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

While I don't like the "quirky" Larian writing, when I see shit like this in a modern game, I do want to support them.

I'm tempted to install the no-party limit mod to get a fifth character but the game doesn't seem to be a deadly challenge even in Tactician. Has someone tried to do that?

 

[AwesomeButton]

Of those 472k people, at least 300k will never finish Act 1

More like 400



Also lol that shit is out. Shame....that i am too tired from harlots and white thus i will sleep the next few days and won't play Baldur's gape 3 ,the biggest gay game out there. Heard that in between the main game mechanics of the game aka gay sex,you could also fight. Weird

Shame, I was really interested in fanta's takes on the game, but it's too large for him to pirate, and too demanding to play.

So now all he will talk about will be gay shit.

I love opening a chest to store shit in only to have to expand the box manually EVERY SINGLE TIME just so I can see what's inside.

Whoever designed this should be beaten.

Installing the mod prevents the player from selecting a voice type for their guardian, blocking the player from completing character creation.

Yea, that looks bad. Mods with bugs. Game with indifferent sex.

Watching download bar not moving is the real game. Remember, it's that experience. It takes 3-5 days with modern big games... And then... Then you play for 3 hours.
But is it good, is it bad, or is it just combat with under baked story?

 

[Reinhardt]

codex praising solasta ui... niggers, stop being edgy contrarians. what's next? "solasta character faces wuz gud"?

Low levels suck, because they tend to offer few options, and it mostly ends up being you and enemies just rightclicking on each other without much agency. High levels suck because they tend to offer too much options, and unless you're a complete retard, AI has absolutely no chance to deal with all the shit you have access to, so it's only works as a power fantasy for people who enjoy it.

The best part of RPGs with tactical combat, is nearly always the midgame.

POE will be my superior choice for a modern day cRPG long after the masses have moved on and forgotten about BG3. Why? Because the truth is that POE came from people who gave a shit about classic cRPG fans and actually made an effort to put out something reminiscent of the classics, which is exactly the opposite of what Larian has done. Larian went for the Xbox 360 biodrone crowd, which is without a doubt the worst era to be drawing inspiration from.

PoE isn't woke at all bruh, not a bit.

 

[Inhabitants of Khorinis]

The only real "pander[ing] to woke-ism" I've seen is the "identity" thing in char creation, which seems to amusingly have no effect on the game whatsoever.

I'll tell you what I don't like though. Everything feels like it's written by porn addicted creeps. There's this "priest of pain" who wants to hit me. Okay, I'll do it, to get the blessing of the Goddess of Pain.<

While I'm being hit, my companions say "ohohoh i didnt know she was into that " and "hmmm maybe i could do that to you later ". Fuck outta here you degenerate maggots. It feels like I'm in the sweaty grip of a Belgian pervert whispering his boring, tedious, predictable, mind-numbing "kinks" to me. Male writing at its worst. Away with you, vile fuckers.

Oh god why can't you make a team of four custom characters. I don't want these insane pricks jabbering on at me, I want four trained professionals who get shit done.

so why let them hit you? Consent was given. BDSM subcuck in denial. Were you jerking it while writing this post?

Why are you so obsessed? Why are you dying on a hill so low, its practically a swamp?

Sales are too high for a turn-based CRPG this is weird

I find TB combat in BG3 far easier than RtWp.
What I dislike in BG3 is when mage stands almost in front of the enemy and spell misses with 65% chance. I find this so unbelievable.
