Baldur's Gate Why do YOU hate Baldur's Gate 3?

Other: Four person party.

There are screenshots with 5 party members.

Not sure whether they confirmed the maximum somewhere, tho.

Swen confirmed 4 on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LarAtLarian/status/1233431915274870784?s=20 I'm less concerned about it since some 5E players enlightened me as to the versatility of class variants.

Example of a valid reason: the dumb past tense dialogue

Example of a retarded reason: because it's not RTWP

Both are valid points. My opinion of the game for now is that it doens't feel like a BG, the combat system is different, and I haven't seen any character from the last game. I think turn-based is more fun, but it's understandable that bg fans don't like this change. And the complainings about cutscenes, well cutscenes are normal in modern games, specially if they can afford it helps to make their game more attractive for most people.

I'm apathetic. I just don't care about generic fantasy crpgs anymore and this looks to be more of the same.

Larian logic: 3/4 Divinity: Original Sin + 1/4 Dragon Age = Baldur's Gate. BG3 in name only, since the rest is anything but a legit sequel to the original series. I wouldn't have minded this game to be called D:OS 3, since it is what it is. This could turn out to be a great game, but it's not BG.

Akward dialogue system, lazy design, cringe humour, no alignments, doesn't feel like a Forgotten Realms setting, the fact that gaming ''journalists'' are shilling for it like it's the best thing ever, etc.

Can't say I hate this game, I just don't give a shit about it anymore.

Dumb dialogues and ugly waifus is being faithful to predecessors.

I saw someone on twatter say he can't wait to see Drizzt again. Boy is he in for a surprise

I don't hate it, who the fuck has the time for that.

There are literally just five people total who have said such a thing, why are you following them?

Larian sucks.

Other: Wrong Name.

I bit I will like Divinity Original Sin 3. I just don't like that they somehow put the wrong name on it.

 

[Butter]

3D with rotating camera is bad. Full voice acting is bad. Corridor maps need to fall off a cliff.

Other : The Grease Trap room

It was a small part of the presentation since Swen doesn't die in it, but D:OS 1 and 2 both had horrendous full-on "trap dungeons" and this does not bode well. I mean you can meme that old RPGs like BG are built on a minefield and force you to take a thief in your party at gunpoint, but that experience compared to the original sin trap dungeons is night and day.

i hate everything
bg3 happens to be the latest thing

I do not hate Baldur's Gate 3 but I absolutely HATE Balders Gate 3

 

[Jack_Deth]

It's exactly what I expected with Larian receiving the license and that is not a good thing.

 

[user]

One thing I don't like is that camera 3rd person herp-derping that makes the 3D environment materials look even worse. There is no replacement for beautiful isometric 2D art after all.

Maybe we have a chance with IWD3?

 

[user]

Also suspect, considering what we have seen so far, that the game will be full of flavor-only skill checks with no C&C, rewards etc, which would be almost a deal breaker for me. Hope I'm wrong.

If it ever becomes a thing...
Imo it was what PoE got really right. It had a nice combination of 2D and 3D art.

 

[NJClaw]

I don't think we can hope for IWD3, it's a game remembered and loved only by a small group of very dedicated fans. But boy would I be hyped for that game

 

[Lagole Gon]

Oh I don't hate it. I just feel nothing...

 

[nikolokolus]

Dat past-tense dialogue man and "Other": Larian games always fall apart for me after the first act.

In the first case it's not that big of deal I guess, because I usually skip through that crap as fast as I can in most games. In the second case, Divine Divinity, Divinity 2, Divinity OS and OS2, all became nearly unbearable slogs at some point after (usually) fairly strong opening areas. I'm really dubious that they somehow magically managed to fix it this go around, but fuck it, it's turn-based D&D, with permadeath, so I'm going to play it like every other sap here when it comes out.
