I should be looking for a job to buy a pc capable of playing BG3

You can always pay Nvidia jews like 10$/month and play in cloud, that's what I'm doing, I'm not buying a new PC for one game, when after finishing it I'll be back to playing Battle Brothers and Crusader Kings 99% of the time
Like I have 10$, lol.
They have free accounts where you get one hour of playtime at a time, although you'll have to wait in a queue during busy times.

That swamp to the southwest is really annoying. Pathfinding is not my friend in this area. I have to micro manage the party to not walk in to that bleeding water.

If i'm not mistaken, you can't "create" a merc, you can only hire one of the 12 premade characters, you can't change their stats, classes, races and appearance. And surprise surprise almost all of them have shitty stats and awful class and race combination.

The whole point of hiring a merc is to make sure you can create an ideal character suit for your party, so why bother include it if you are not gonna let us do that Larian?

what the fuck
What? Did you think BG3 would actually have any merits of it's own?

I haven't followed the development of this game at all, so just checking this thread out of sheer curiosity was a bit of a culture shock when the screenshot with the naked chicks is the first thing I see. Scrolling a bit further, all I see is fucking ugly modern minimalistic UI design, cringeworthy dialogues that would make Bioware blush etc. What the fuck is wrong with modern gaming?

Maybe the combat is fun, I havent played it. But with a title like this I would expect it to be similar to the Infinity Engine games, which I would really love to play, which this game isn't AT ALL

Installed it, rolled a waifu, took one look at the in-game UI and went right back to NWN. Having focused so much on the atrocious party and camera controls, I forgot what utter dogshit the rest of the interface is too. You don't even get a scroll bar in the options menus, just mousewheel. The local BG3 simps are a sight to behold, fucking Console Peasant Codex right here.
Scroll bar in options is on the left. Put on your glasses, grampa.
So this is the quality of BG3 haters we get these days?

Also to change companions you need to go back to your camp, walk to one of your campaions, tell them to stay back twice because fuck you, and then walk to another companion and ask them to go with you.

Sometime I feel like this game was never tested on single player, only multi-player otherwise there is no excuse for Larian to make the UI and interaction with NPCs such a shitty mess.

Interesting that Shadowheart has the 90s bush and the Tiefling slut has the pre-pubescent baldy that has been all the rage for about 20 years or so now. (It's getting old...) I wonder who decided the shaving decisions of each of these NPCs and why. Although I'm guessing the Tiefling is vitellus' PC so I guess he likes the loli look. And now that has me curious about Gith pussy, does it have little dots around it, is it sideways? This is the how the degeneracy spreads like those Illithid worms! :lol:

I was talking to a buddy who was interested in cRPGs, and I described this game as one where I reloaded a save just so I could avoid encountering a companion.

When I said the companion was a cringe gay vampire in daylight, he understood completely.

Weren't all the companions in this game intended to be unlikeable in the beginning, in order to develop into a more likeable companion as it goes on? Thought I remembered reading that at some point.

Usually when it comes to companions, I'm willing to give them a chance to see how they develop myself. I don't think every character needs to be likeable from the moment you meet them. In fact, it might be better if they're not.

I've played a total of 1 hour of BG3 so far, so I can't comment on what they're like in this really. The few minutes I spent with the couple I met hasn't been unbearable by any means though.

I was wondering why that motherfucker didn't burst into flames immediately but now that you say it that way and especially with the ULTRA gay way you first meet him rolling around and frolicking I now realize he is a "Twilight" vampire not a D&D vampire, to which I say...

Gotta hand it to Larian, I’ve never seen so much barbarian-specific dialogue in an RPG before. And it’s none of that mamby-pamby “I am a kind hearted savage” crap.

My character threatens to kill everyone the moment he gets agitated in the slightest. Fun!

It seems they removed the rule in 5e where you can only cast one spell per turn, which is a massive buff to casters and especially to sorcerers who can turn any spell into a bonus action.

There is a scrollbar. It's on the left side of the screen. Blind fuck.

Motherfucker, where? Here's the fucking screen in full, spin up MS Paint and circle Waldo. Glasses didn't help, there's nothing on the left and the thing to the right is just a fucking ornament.

How are people doing non murderhobo evil playthroughs? I planned to side with the goblins, but the drow bitch and that dumbfuck red orc were too annoying, trying to boss me around and disrespect me, so I had to kill them. I'd like to finally find a game where evil characters are not actually retards, and when a superpowered psychopath with a massive ego walks into their camp, they could maybe try to manipulate him to their side by, you know, treating him respectfully and promising rewards and shit, rather than being all "reeee do what I want or I kill you". It's like some retarded scrawny nerd teenager walking to Jamal the drug dealer on the corner and trying to give him shit, like what the fuck do you think is going to happen, you gonna get shot nigga

Now I either gotta go the faggot route of being a hero, or go full murderhobo and kill the druids/tieflings too, it will depend on how exactly they will react to the news of me casually walking up to the goblin camp and solo slaughtering the whole army that had them pissing their pants. If they'll be like usual RPG cliche "thank you hero here's your 100 gold now fuck off" then these niggers die too, murderhobo it is.
