Online Petition to Include a RTwP Mode in Baldur's Gate 3

[Gaylord III]

So I signed this a while ago after concluding the turn-based combat Larian showcased at PAX East was too slow for my tastes. The online polls with the largest samples I'm aware of indicate prospective customers are split on the issue of combat so I don't see why the game shouldn't go down the PoE2 route. Also I don't think it's fair to compare RTwP from 20 years ago with modern systems and write it off as a mess the way one of their senior designers put it. The current TB combat changes the pacing to such an extent that BG3 should be renamed Baldur's Gate Tactics if the devs stick with their design decisions. While boss fights and the like are easier in TB I don't like this padding in that the game is billed as a 100-hour RPG even though you're likely to spend a minimum of 50 hours waiting turns with goblins and other trash mobs. Anyway, if there were a way to have both modes I think it would get more people on board. Wouldn't even mind a lack of balance to combat (can't really think of a RPG that has perfectly balanced combat etc.) as not even games that have a single combat mode can get it right.

Turn-based vs RTwP is the least of my worries with Larian developing Baldur's Gate 3.

 

[d1r]

Who cares, it's no BG anyway. Fuck them.

 

[Desiderius]

I do. I'd prefer they do both since it's evidently somewhat straightforward.

 

[taxalot]

I do not even sign petitions on subjects that matter.

 

[Bruma Hobo]

This is a Baldur's Gate game in name only, so who fucking cares. Just enjoy this game for what it will be, a high budget 5E turn-based game.

 

[RNGsus]

I'd trade this for Realms Beyond.

 

[smaug]

Gaylord, lol.

 

[Sweeper]

Just enjoy this game

a high budget 5E turn-based game.

And how the fuck am I supposed to do that?

 

[Catacombs]

You honestly think they'll care about some random, online petition?

 

[Atlet]

Imagine how nice it would have been if it was Josh Sawyer leading the BG3 team towards a RTwP and TB combat system (like in PoE 2: Deadfire) using the 5E D&D format.

 

[Darth Canoli]

A petition on change.org ...

Most people want to save the world, end famine, stop pollution, this fucking retard wants a RTwP mode for a video game.

You should ask for a brain transplant instead!

 

[RNGsus]

Could you include a game while you're at it?

 

[DraQ]

Could someone please escort OP out and shoot him in the head?
Thank you.

 

[Lurker47]

Can I sign against this
Like, how the President does

 

[DraQ]

I do. I'd prefer they do both since it's evidently somewhat straightforward.

Yeah, let's make combat great again, like in Arcanum!

 

[Desiderius]

I do. I'd prefer they do both since it's evidently somewhat straightforward.

Yeah, let's make combat great again, like in Arcanum!

The best kids movies also have plotlines for adults too, so it's only natural to add a RTwP option to the kid-focused TB.

 

[Funposter]

how about a petition to make it look and feel less like a divinity OS 2 mod?

 

[Dramart]

Just play other game fuck BGIII

 

[rusty_shackleford]

LARIAN DID NOTHING WRONG

 

[Mexi]

I'm more worried that Larian is creating this game. It'll be fucking Divinity-lite. TB is the least of their problem; although, RTwP is superior.

 

[Lord_Potato]

Black Geyser will be the Baldur's Gate 3 we deserve. It even has the same initials.

 

[catfood]

Who bitch dis is

We're busy. Wait your turn.
