god fricking damn it
they're pushing forward because they're out of money and they need income NOW, whether its done or not, if the game was actually done they'd just polish or sit for a simultaneous release, when's the last time you saw a game PUSHED UP? its rare for a reason, it isn't a good sign, larian is literally going to have trouble making payroll, you can't sit and draw finance for half a decade with basically nothing to show for it

Not at all, but I'm sure schizos will razor focus on some completely inconsequential thing and pretend like the whole game is ruined because of it. This guy

The refugees are shown to be thieves and cowards though.
the early access is just the first half of the first act, and thats after three years, but the shills are telling everyone that larian will somehow complete 2.5 acts and add several working classes to the game in just a few months. Its going to be a disaster.
They did the same exact thing with Divinity 2, so its not much of a surprise.
Champ Fighter is the most absolute basic training-wheels class there is.
Absolutely no abilities or spells to remember. Roll a 19, you crit. Roll initiative, add half your proficiency. Since its a game its done automatically for you.
If you want to step it up a notch while still keeping it simple, you could go Frenzy Barb 5/Champ Fighter 3/Barb 4.
Crit fishing build you don't have to think about outside of clicking 'rage' on turn one.

There’s subclasses on that list that ain’t from the PHB, but to be fair,
That was what everyone said about Berserker Barbarian and it ended up being literally the most fun subclass in the game. There’s nothing wrong with giving players a simple class that is hard to frick up and does huge satisfying damage numbers, especially since Larian gave it their own homebrew buffs.
could be right and it may be fun anyway, not that I’ve tried berserker barbarian in BG3 yet to check if he’s right because, wow, I think it’s boring so I haven’t tried it.

They removed the exhaustion mechanic of it completely, so it's simply the best Barbarian now with the ability to attack as a bonus action every single round you're raging.
On top of Larian’s homebrew buff to strength (bonus action jump/shove) you can pick up live enemies or corpses and use them as melee weapons or throw them as ranger weapons, and depending on your strength + the size of the enemy it does massive damage. You also get the extra frenzy attack without the moronic exhaustion debuff from the tabletop.
Thanks. Frick, now I have another class I'd like to try.

>you can pick up live enemies or corpses and use them as melee weapons or throw them as ranger weapons
Shit, now I'm tempted to play berserker. That sounds insanely fun.
It's a staple class of moronation, imagine some guy charging you with a sword and you look behind you at your buddy and he has his lute out and he's playing music at him.
Yeah it’s ridiculous if you look at it in reality. But even in reality there were bands that rallied troops before battle. I just see it as a creative interpretation of that. Plus with the fantastical setting, the music bards play are magical. So it’s not just music in itself that makes the difference in a battle.
holy shit. who let the guys who play cleric and wizard decide how many subclasses everyone was getting?
not to mention shit like arcane trickster and eld knight being listed under fighter/rougue
what bullshit
It's easily the deepest, most complex, most reactive and content rich crpg to date. It's just not sticking to the whole top down isometric perspective that's been popular with crpgs for the past two decades.

You can solo run the entire EA just by abusing the random exploding barrels they put everywhere and exploiting the moronic stealth mechanics they just ported over from DOS2 (completely different from how it is in tabletop)

You can certainly solo it but they dramatically reduced the amount of fire barrels.

BG3 is the only one worth playing on your list. Diablo is trash. 2077 is the same broken mess it has always been and always will be. New paint job isn't going to salvage it. Starfield is almost certainly going to be soulless, empty, buggy NMS clone. I will be genuinely shocked if it's actually any good. Nothing I've seen or read about it looks even remotely interesting or promising.
>2077 is the same broken mess it has always been and always will be
That is absolutely false and I very much doubt you played the game recently to be saying that.
I was being hyperbolic, obviously. They've made changes but they're surface level. Fundamentally, the game is still dogshit and nothing like what was promised. I don't see that ever changing.
It did, but that was when Larian was still indie eurojank studio. Now they have over 500 employes and 7 offices around the world. I'm pretty sure they're already bigger than Bioware at their peak. Basically they're an AAA studio and need good sales to sustain their business. I wonder if we'll see them tackle two games at the same time after BG3. They're definitely big enough to do so. Maybe an expansion or sequel to BG3, and a new divinity game.
This. The one big flaw of OS games is the lackluster worldbuilding. How is their setting still so undefined after five or six games? They just keep rebooting their universe after every game. The first OS was a little better in that regard, but bit too generic. The second was completely wishy washy and vague. Divinity OS gameplay with D&D or Pathfinder worldbuilding would be god tier.
>no grappling >no dodge action >no ready action >no shove prone >no mounting/mounted combat >reactions have to be toggled and taken at the first opportunity >features like smite and battlemaster maneuvers cannot be dice confirmed before using them >the ability to jump is uncoupled from your movement and instead turned into a bonus action that also functions as a mini dash even when moving in a straight line over no vertical terrain
Yeah I'm thinking Larian has no idea what they're doing.
What is your point? That a sequel 20 years later shouldn't be more system complete than its predecessor?

Please explain how having less options in combat than what's in the 5e handbook not the the game's detriment. Why can you shove an enemy backwards but not prone? Why can't you ready an action? Why can't you take the dodge action? Why can't you grapple? Even Solasta, another 5e game lets you do some of these despite being 10 times jankier.

Your premise is flawed to begin with. As I've already said BG3 is a sequel made 20 years later set in a different system of D&D. I expect it to include basic actions from the player's handbook. Nowhere in my original post do I compare it to previous entries in the series so you have no point.
>Why can't you ready an action?
How the frick are they even supposed to implement that in any reasonable way? Not even Owlcat games have that and their games are full of bloated autistic menus in a system that is a lot more complicated than 5e.
Solasta has basic implementation for attacks and cantrips which is better than not having it at all
>despite being 10 times jankier. >10 times jankier

Probably having a much smaller budget and studio, dodging, shoving, and readying work fine in Solasta.

Was about to say, anything more complicated than what it is in solasta (ready attack or cast a cantrip at the first enemy that moves in range) ain't exactly do-able.
Same with grappling. It's complicated enough in game, let alone having to program in the thousand edge cases for just that mechanic.

Yeah, Kingmaker/WotR also don't have proper grappling. I haven't tried Solasta, so I'm not sure how they do things there. It's a bit unreasonable to expect the proper implementation of fairly subjective tabletop mechanics in video game format.

It's not complicated, anon. Roll 1d20+Attack bonus. If the result is equal or higher than enemy AC, you hit. Roll your damage dice+damage bonus. That's it.

Curious.
No hexblade, what's gonna be best best way to play a spellsword? I've heard people mention paladin/sorc. Or do I wait for the hexblade mod to be updated for full release?
Hexblade was amazing for allowing physical attacks and damage to be under the same attribute as casting, charisma. It also gave you martial weapons, medium armor and shields, and the very powerful shield spell.
Bard, college of swords, has extra attacks, the ability to strength their attacks, and can choose a fighting style. They're also a full caster, but it's bardic magic. Their fighting and spell casting have different attributes.
Eldritch knight is a full fighter, even more attacks, fighter second wind, action surge, more fighting styles, lots of armor, more feats. They can choose from wizard spells, but they're not a full caster at all, and their fighting and casting have different attributes.
Paladin +sorc or warlock is also great, but again different attributes for physical fighting and casting.
It's just how it is in tabletop similarly.
Fireball is cool, but especially when sharpshooter and xbow expert are put in on release a hasted 6th level BM fighter that's got bless on them will be the strongest force in the game easily shitting out 70+ damage a round.
No. Battlemaster feels way stronger. Eldritch Knight feels incongruent, half your build towards being tough guy melee fighter, half towards being a ranged caster, better to just focus on one, especially when you already have someone in the party to fill the other role. It isn't technically multi-classing, but these sorts of multi-focus things are always a noob trap.
At least in tabletop multiclassing with Wizard makes for a great tank as long as you realize your spell slots have better uses than blasting. I love 5e for letting me play a heavy armor arcane caster without jumping through hoops or crippling myself for the privilege.
Funnily depending on your starting level you can go Fighter 2/Wizard X. Starting as fighter gives you heavy armour, shields, Con saves, and best of all, Action Surge, which isn't affected by the action/bonus action limitation so you can Action->Fireball and then Action Surge -> Fireball.
It's babies first op 'zero effort' multiclass.
Hexblade 1/Paladin X is the strongest thing in the game and a mouth breathing moron can execute it with no effort.
powergaming 5e shitters dont know how to make a good melee character without relying on SAD gimmicks. force them to balance their physical attack stat with their mental attack stat and they throw a fit
I just want to be able to blast spells and melee shit. It's why my first run of kingmaker and WotR I played a magus/ES. Also CHA being the main stat is a bonus for RP.
You should probably put those 14s into Dex and Con. Cha is a warlock's niche, leave the other mental stats for your companions to cover. Put that 12 into Wis so your other save proficiency and Perception aren't total garbage. Also take a background with at least one Dex based skill.
they're scammers, anon
they've but out pre-alpha demos each time because it's basically the new duke nuken
homosexuals are never going to complete the game
I really enjoyed what I played in Early Access, didnt want to go too far as I wanted to wait until full release to go hard. Facial animation really impresses me
Also is has little thick goblin chicks and thats an instabuy for me regardless
You can kiss her feet at one point if that's the goblin I'm thinking of. Successfully intimidate the goblin she's crushing on to kiss your feet in front of the others, then she'll timidly ask what it was like, and you can offer to show her if you pass the CHA check.

But I was told Larian were cucks? How did they make something that based?
Here you can see the samegay shill replying to himself to create the artificial impression of interest in the game he has been paid to market.
Here you can see the samegay shill using the console to attempt to hide his marketing campaign, believing that because he is technically illiterate, that anons will be as well. The idea that we're onto him and know he uses the console to obscure his (you)s is mystifying to him. He believes that if he just keeps replying to himself he will convince anons that people actually want to play this game. The game was in early access for three years, they only ever finished act 1, but suddenly they're supposed to finish act 2 and 3 in just two months, and even moved the release date UP. This is going to be Cyberpunk 2078.
Early Access grants access to the developer build of the game and Act 1 was the only one ever finished until they announced a release date. Apparently Act 2 and 3 will take less than one third of the time to complete than Act 1 took (and that still wasn't complete either), its going to be a disaster. People are expecting this really long game but I guarantee Act 1 will be 90% of it and then you'll get these rushed story beats they had to finish in a couple of months.

You have no idea what Early Access even is. Why do you think they NEVER released even a portion of the game past what they released in 2020 if they actually finished it? It took them half a year to get one class half implemented and you think they're going to finish two acts in two months? Christ. At least the webms will be kino.

What did Larian do to draw the ire of such a severely mentally ill and dedicated shitposter? I doubt I'll get a honest answer from you, but it would be nice to know why you have been seething for years and what's your end goal.
You don't need an excuse to dislike Larian, they are incompetent belgian metrosexuals who should stick to making fantasy dating sims. Which this game is.
They made a joke about how when they added up player character data and made a composite out of it, it was a bog standard white male hero type.
Ever since that day he's been perpetually sperging out about them.
they make unfinished games that steal the name, they hate their customers, and they want to turn dnd into oversexualized tripe for starters. if you want to see mentally ill, check out the clown show trying to convince people to spend money on an unfinished game being shoved out the door ASAP so larian doesn't have to auction off the office supplies
>is it only coming when the whole game is officially out?
More or less, but if you get the game now you should be upgraded to the digital deluxe edition at no extra cost. Which means you can be able to playthrough all of act 1 with all of the newer features, three days before the official release of August 3rd. And all of the progress you made then forth will be transferable.
I already got the game when it was first available but I’ve been waiting for Monk for years so would have updated and booted it up if they were playable now
what class has the most environmental interactions in combat? like ground surfaces, weather, objects, stuff like that. i fricking loved aero/hydro in dos2 cause of rain
Environmental/surface stuff is extremely limited compared to DOS2. I guess wild magic sorceror because they have chromatic orb, and a special skill to make surfaces last longer, but its not something you can really build around.
Woah! Did this guy le hecken say the number 33? Well, I have news for you. The number 33 is satanic because the freemasons use that number!

>release game in early access >introduce 90% of the companions in early access >add dragonborn and half orc to the 1.0 launch >the new companions on launch are old baldurs gate companions for some reason >no dragonborn or half orc companions so you will never see them in game
larian are hacks.
Dragonborn are supposed to be pretty rare in Forgotten Realms, but I also have a feeling there'll be more companions than they've told us about (i.e. still no Sorcerer or Good Paladin companion announced)
As a skost (skull ghost) maybe, since he isn't "jewkin half-Black person israeliteborn" or whatever official dnd lore races and ethnic geoups are called and BG1 happened 200 years prior to BG3.
Is this from that cucked artbook/whatever the frick it was? I can't believe the artist managed to make everyone look lame and generic. Imagine honing your skill for decades to reach this level of technical prowess, only to end up drawing stuff that's far more soulless than any ai art.
The same thing that separates an R rating from an NC-17 rating. Depicting sex is okay if it isn't too pornographic, but that will be in the eye of the beholder. Remember that the ESRB is basically a self-elected panel of church moms that companies just sort of submit to for no reason.
In 5e a paladin's power comes from the oath itself not a deity.
Seems a bit weird to me to be honest. There are mods that add a deity choice for paladins, even ones that do so for all classes so you can roleplay as a worshiper of a god regardless of your class.
What does Shadowheart's brainworm husbando look like?
Its a woman that looks exactly like Shadowheart herself.
From the datamined stuff it's actually a woman and it's (possibly serious spoiler) Viconia.
Do EA owners still get it 3 days early? Because that means there only 30 days left for us EA chads.
Yes. If you played the early access then you get bumped up to the special edition for free which includes the 3 day head start, some in game magical items that reference the DOS2 companions (Lohse's lute, Sebille's needle dagger, Beast's pirate hat, Fane's Shapeshifter Mask, the Red Prince's cape), some DOS2 songs that you can play in game if you're proficient with instruments and I think some other shit I can't remember.
While I couldn’t call him obnoxious, nor is it confirmed he is a companion. But we at least got Barcus Wroot that could fill part of that quota.

I think this guy will just hang out in your camp and eventually be your engineer helping you craft shit.
On 4chins, games are "literally unplayable" if they don't run on 15 year old hardware caked in dust and cigarette tar, or if a streamer takes two hours to setup a bounds escape and then posts a fifteen second clip of it.
>oh you have a Black personman larva in your brain that could transform you at any time? let's do so quests talking and helping everyone in sight instead of hurrying to find a cure
I hate this shit, why can't they make you play as an adventurer going on comfy adventures because he just want it instead of always doing these "high stake" stories from the start of the game when the result is the same anyway
The game makes it clear that something else is going on very quickly. Every companion is very interested in rushing a cure and is very disapproving if you take detours until that reveal occurs.
in baldur's gate 2 your sister is kidnapped right at the start and then you can go do hundreds of side quests before you even progress the main story towards finding her
Disingenuous, you have to collect money to be able to go after her. Also the game leaves it up to you whether you're going there to rescue Imoen or confront Irenicus.
well yeah but you can get the 15k in like a couple hours, but the amount of stuff you can do in chapter 2 is huge and you can easily end up with way more gold than that by the time you actually take the boat
>you have to collect money to be able to go after her
You have to find someone who can actually cure you and won't try to kill you the moment you mention you're infected, which happens a few times.
They say every fantasy property is a tolkien rip off, they forget to mention that they only rip of LOTR. No Hobbit adventures for gamers. And it's sort of their fault. People respond to chosen one plots, and games are a potent vehicle for power fantasies.
in baldur's gate 2 your sister is kidnapped right at the start and then you can go do hundreds of side quests before you even progress the main story towards finding her
In BG2, right after Irenicus is done diddling you, you will start having dreams that tempt/threaten you, pushing you to accept a great deal of power, if you could only stop being so human and moral. Dream Imoen (your IRL imouto) acts as some representation of your subconscious/soul and works even quite similar to the tadpole/dreamfu, tempting/threatening you to give in, or else. In both cases you can roleplay this as a sense of urgency or pretend it's just a thing in the back of your head that doesn't matter.
Anyone who's played the EA, what are the minimum specs for a smooth experience? without necessarily everything in ultra high settings.

The feeling's mutual, it's so jarring that every time you sheathe a long blade it just hangs on your back without a sheath. It also bothers me how even short swords or rapiers do much the same instead of being holstered along the waist. Perhaps someone might give a hand a modding in proper holsters and animations? It's unlikely but who knows?

i should’ve scrolled down, you are talking about the game, good.
has there been a dragonborn companion announced? i heard they recently revealed them but haven’t read much.
Zero chance. One of the brothel prostitutes in the city is apparently a Dragonborn, so if you're into that there's that, but I don't think you'll get a companion that doesn't charge by the hour.
This is phb classes only.
No xanathars bullshit no tashas bullshit.
And no bladesinger because that was first published first in scag before being included in tashas.
>wizard has the base 8 subclasses that do frick all for the class >Sorcerer has all the ass subclasses as well >Warlock has all the ass subclasses as well
amazing, what a frickin waste, where are all the cool caster subclasses
They were all in powercreeped splat books.
Technically spores, gloomstalker, storm, and swords are all xanathars but that's probably to shore up the classes with phb subclass problems. Like ranger only gets hunter and beastmaster, sorc only gets wild and draconic, druid only gets land and moon.
5e was released in a pretty incomplete state and it's been a hallmark of the system for a while that it is bare bones.
Larian including every wizard sub is pants on head imo. Just make new ones. Make some room for shit that isn't just 'scribing transmutation spells costs 20 less gold per level'.
None of the wizard subclasses currently in the game besides necromancy and divination do anything cool in the fricking game. It's all literal stock Wizard and some minor niche abilities tacked on.
Really hoping modders bring the cooler subclasses in the game.

What level of copium is this? We're 1 month pre-release and all datamined info points to Helia not this undersized abomination
Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same actor. Plenty of actors from Larian’s older titles have returned for this game. Minthara’s actress being one I heard.
Can’t say for certain. But in the handbook Minsc & Boos Journal of Villainy. It mentions Edwin is still alive and currently possessing the body of a wizard named Larroakan. Taking residence at Ramazith’s Tower. A wizard of the same name was mentioned at the grove by a student to be. He mentions the wizard is at the city, so perhaps?
Like I said, I couldn’t say for certain. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Larian was at liberty to have his character return. Minsc & Jaheira are back. If Edwin were to return that would be their ticket.
I'd be fricking shocked if Larian doesn't take that opportunity. He was a fairly popular companion.
Whats the go to build if i want to make the best possible archer?
I dont care about utility or anything beyond shooting as many arrows as proficiently as possible.
I dont mind muti classing or whatever for self buffs or any other stuff.
My first character was a Drow Ranger (called Traxex because I couldn't think of a name so I just stole it from Dota) and I picked the Hunter subclass with the Colossus Slayer feature.
Kept my distance, took the high ground (+to hit and +range), used Hunter's Mark and murdered everything. Being a drow means you can see in the dark so I was able to be very consistent with hitting enemies.
The animal companions from the Beast Master subclass offer some amazing utility though and is probably more useful overall.
are you guys going to play with your friends? The game seems way too long for me to want to do that. I cant fathom trying to coordinate 4 boys multiple times a week to play a game for hours, when I can just call off work and slam out 200 hours in a couple weeks.
I'm probably going to play with the dude I played through DOS1 and 2 with.
There are also 2 other friends that invited me to play with them
But I'll definitely have a solo campaign going as well.
Getting 4 people to play a long coop game is a fricking nightmare. I did it with Borderlands 3 and it was very hard getting everyone online between people having jobs, families and other commitments.

I don't know man, the enemies looked pretty defeated to me.
Next thing you're going to tell is that shooting that suspended block above the grave robbers outside the Temple of Jergal in order to one-shot them is unfair.
>Getting 4 people to play a long coop game is a fricking nightmare
I did it with 3 others, and we dedicated one night a week to it. Took us months to complete DOS2 on Tactician but it was honestly one of the best rides. One of the guys quit halfway too, but the 3 of us remained to finish.
I've also done a playthrough with my brother which went a lot quicker. He's been asking me to play together so that will probably be my first playthrough.
Should have been Traxer in continuation of drow men having somewhat funny names like (ob)Drizzt

>Drow Ranger's given name is Traxex--a name well suited to the short, trollish, rather repulsive Drow people. But Traxex herself is not a Drow. Her parents were travelers in a caravan set upon by bandits, whose noisy slaughter of innocents roused the ire of the quiet Drow people. >After the battle settled, the Drow discovered a small girl-child hiding in the ruined wagons, and agreed she could not be abandoned. Even as child, Traxex showed herself naturally adept at the arts they prized: Stealth, silence, subtlety. In spirit, if not in physique, she might have been a Drow changeling, returned to her proper home. But as she grew, she towered above her family and came to think of herself as ugly. After all, her features were smooth and symmetrical, entirely devoid of warts and coarse whiskers. >Estranged from her adopted tribe, she withdrew to live alone in the woods. Lost travelers who find their way from the forest sometimes speak of an impossibly beautiful Ranger who peered at them from deep among the trees, then vanished like a dream before they could approach. Lithe and stealthy, icy hot, she moves like mist in silence. That whispering you hear is her frozen arrows finding an enemy's heart.
I just wanted to jump right in and since I already picked Ranger and Drow female it was the first name that came to mind.
Does anybody here know if the GOG and Steam version can play together. The official website says yes but only when using 'Direct Connection' but I don't know what that is. Is it just a fancy word for LAN?
When you create a game in multiplayer you can tick a box that says "Direct Connections".
This will give you an alphanumeric Server ID code that you can then give to the people that want to join your game. They can input that code into their own game to join your server.
It's kinda like an IP.
Since you can play over LAN as well technically there's another option: you can use a virtual network program to set up a virtual LAN that you and your friends are connected to and you can play over LAN that way. But that just more hassle and only worth it if you pirated I guess.
i dnt know anything about 5e really but if max level is something like 20 then i do hope some higher level abilities are included in the game and are just scaled down to be available for level 10+
Scaling things down wouldn't really work well. The differences in levels is pretty stark, and easily viewable when you're familiar with D&D, and or Pathfinder.
Pathfinder being a thousand times better than Wizards of the c**ts modern D&D.
Where would you put the level cap then? Most 5E campaigns end around level 10-15. Going beyond might not even fit the story unless it's about ascending to demi-godhood.
Twenty anon, twenty is where the level cap should be. And if you as a developer are unable to fulfill the BASIC function of scaling your game so that the table top game you are converting for fits properly that is a complete lack of competence.
I am unwilling to settle for subpar fricking garbage, if you can't properly adapt something, don't fricking do it.
Adding to this, I'm more than willing to bet that the level cap will INCREASE for fricking DLC or expansions.
The "scaling" issue or whatever the frick Larian will claim, or people for free will defend them on is nonsense. They're just leaving room for future growth.

So you want ToB level cap in BG1 or 2? You want your wizard to pop Time Stop and Antimagic Fields like it's just a daily occurrence? Not everyone is into that and it's weird you had this expectation of BG3 at any point but maybe the first year of development.

No chance. Look up the illusionist wizard level 14 feature called illusory reality.
I don't know if they even have silent image or minor illusion working in game but as written that would allow you to make an illusory 14 ton weight above someone and then make it real.
That's minecraft bugs bunny shit, they can't put that in the game.
Also means no ones thought ahead about the implications of including illusionist wizard in the game unaltered. This games obviously successful already and the level cap will have to be raised in the future for expansion content.
And this is one feature from one subclass. Level 17 storm clerics have permanent flight with no concentration. Level 18 storm sorcerers also have permanent concentration free flight that they can share.
Anon if you're going to talk shit know what you're on about.
The description for illusory reality is "The object can't deal damage or otherwise directly harm anyone."
You solve this issue by cutting it. The reality is not every spell will transition over, but you can make a fricking effort to convert things.
Which circles back to the initial point of..
Why include every wizard subclass when the low level features are irrelevant and the high level features are broken and will require rewriting anyway.
This appears hasty and ill-conceived.
Shock arcanist in solasta is cool. It was well conceived.
This isn't. And release is 30 days away after 6 years of dev.

Whats the go to build if i want to make the best possible archer?
I dont care about utility or anything beyond shooting as many arrows as proficiently as possible.
I dont mind muti classing or whatever for self buffs or any other stuff.
the early access is just the first half of the first act, and thats after three years, but the shills are telling everyone that larian will somehow complete 2.5 acts and add several working classes to the game in just a few months. Its going to be a disaster.
They told everyone before early access began it would only ever contain that much content.
I feel like you know that though and are just desperate to spread misinformation.
It’s in early access but it will fully release on August 3rd. Refer to this as to whether or not you should wait.
>is it only coming when the whole game is officially out?
More or less, but if you get the game now you should be upgraded to the digital deluxe edition at no extra cost. Which means you can be able to playthrough all of act 1 with all of the newer features, three days before the official release of August 3rd. And all of the progress you made then forth will be transferable.

Shills this, shills that. Have you anything of worth to criticize or are you just going to rant about another boogeyman? What does difference do you think you make with your whining in these threads? It’s clear you aren’t interested in the game, good for you. You can go somewhere else and wax poetic about some other topic. Instead of wallowing about a game you’ve no interest in playing.

i have 1 friend that i play games with and we played divinity OS1+2 and we're gonna play this too. but i am gonna have a separate save file for solo play as well for when we can't play together
So far modders have delved into it more so than DOS2. Featuring armor edits, new face presets for characters, etc. I wonder if Larian will drop a proper mod kit?
more than likely most of the game was scrapped, they're releasing early and they don't even have the monk class built, or anything after act 1, they're probably cutting shit left and right
You’re talking to someone who has been trying to pretend the game’s an early access scam, anon.
He recently got blown the frick out by the game getting a release date and then having it moved forward, so he’s finding ways to cope and this is it.
Nope. The current build of the game is missing 90% of what they've promised and the game literally stops dead at act 1. Its going to be a game where 95% of it is the first act and then its one or two quests and you're done. People are setting themselves up for disappointment. Literally everything points towards this game being unfinished trash. They've wasted three years of dev time barely implementing the few classes they do have. They didn't even have level 5 ready until this year, and supposedly they're going to get to level 12 in one month. Anybody who thinks this isn't goign to be a Hindenberg is a knuckle dragger.

The only one that's not Shazamcope is act 2 and 3. We have seen barely any post act 1 content so there is a concerning chance that it'll be rushed as shit.
Are you unable to process the concept of content being already finished but held back for the full release?
Are you seriously expecting Larian to release everything they develop into the early access version and then have a release that doesn't actually add anything to the game?
>larian has a super secret stack of content they never bothered to push to their own developer build
1000000000% copium, cope levels previously not possible, holy shit
Why would they push the release date forward and add content not originally promised if you really believed this?
they have financiers same as any other company, there's a point where someone just says "alright its been three years and you've barely made any progress, you're not going to get there, release what you have ASAP and lets try to recoup something", and thats what this is. You think they're pushing the release up for a good reason? If the game was actually finished, they'd just take the time to polish and avoid spoilers for console users, but they aren't, they're pushing it out ASAP because they need money FAST. Larian will probably go out of business after this. The reason why PC is ahead of console release is that Steam will leave the game listed, and they're worried Sony will delist it before they can recoup as much as possible, so the strat is to release on steam and try to get a patch ready on PS5 that will at least keep the game getting sold before the door shuts.
>oh man but that won't happen beca..becaus...BECAUSE IT JUST WON'T!!!!
Yeah, stick around for release date, watch and see. This game is going to be a burning disaster. One unfinished act and two more they speedran through in a month.

Baldurs gate 3 was one of the best celling CRPGs to date while it was in early access. They are already in profit.
Yep, they are getting desperate now because they have got BTFO yet again and all their hours, days, months and years of shitposting were for nothing and their lies have have been proven wrong by facts.
I will never understand why they do this with every game. They spend all day everyday shitting on games as much as they can, here and on /vg/ and /vrpg/ only to get BTFO every single time.
BTFO by who subhuman? moron shills, larian drones and people who don't have anything to play because CRPG genre is fricking dead? i listed yesterday this game problems, from garbage companions, shitty story, politics, copy-pasta things from Divinity 2 (like UI), max 12 level, larian writing, etc but not a single shill tried to argue, because they don't have arguments against it, they know Larian can't make a good game, so BG3 is going to be meh at best, but they will act like is GOTY, but people will forget it by the launches of AC6 and Starfield, then they will go back to /vg

I want the game to level 20 because I want them to make expansions. The problem I always saw with making BG3 in the first place is they are making a full 5e homebrew adaption, for one game? Maybe they can reuse most of these spells for OS3 but it also just seems weird to invest so much time for these classes, features, systems etc for one game
People wanting the game to go to 20 never played Baldur's Gate in their life, because even Bioware knew it was unfeasible and moronic to try and fit all of that into one game, and had to spread it across almost 3.

Champion. Keep it simple.

Champ Fighter is the most absolute basic training-wheels class there is.
Absolutely no abilities or spells to remember. Roll a 19, you crit. Roll initiative, add half your proficiency. Since its a game its done automatically for you.
If you want to step it up a notch while still keeping it simple, you could go Frenzy Barb 5/Champ Fighter 3/Barb 4.

That's because it's from the PHB, those other ones aren't.
There’s subclasses on that list that ain’t from the PHB, but to be fair,
could be right and it may be fun anyway, not that I’ve tried berserker barbarian in BG3 yet to check if he’s right because, wow, I think it’s boring so I haven’t tried it.
That was what everyone said about Berserker Barbarian and it ended up being literally the most fun subclass in the game. There’s nothing wrong with giving players a simple class that is hard to frick up and does huge satisfying damage numbers, especially since Larian gave it their own homebrew buffs.
I haven't played yet. What makes berserker so fun?
They removed the exhaustion mechanic of it completely, so it's simply the best Barbarian now with the ability to attack as a bonus action every single round you're raging.
Thanks. Frick, now I have another class I'd like to try.
On top of Larian’s homebrew buff to strength (bonus action jump/shove) you can pick up live enemies or corpses and use them as melee weapons or throw them as ranger weapons, and depending on your strength + the size of the enemy it does massive damage. You also get the extra frenzy attack without the moronic exhaustion debuff from the tabletop.
>you can pick up live enemies or corpses and use them as melee weapons or throw them as ranger weapons
Shit, now I'm tempted to play berserker. That sounds insanely fun.

You fart out a random effect whenever you Rage
It's neutered wild magic too, you only get few effects and all of them are good.

Bard is a moronic class. "Magic music", have a nice day.
It’s a staple class of D&D, what’s the issue?
It's a staple class of moronation, imagine some guy charging you with a sword and you look behind you at your buddy and he has his lute out and he's playing music at him.
Yeah it’s ridiculous if you look at it in reality. But even in reality there were bands that rallied troops before battle. I just see it as a creative interpretation of that. Plus with the fantastical setting, the music bards play are magical. So it’s not just music in itself that makes the difference in a battle.
You have obviously not played the bard class
Yeah I'm not gay so I never will.
Try learning about what the bard class actually does, because it doesn't do what you think it does.
The anus doesn't do what you think it does either but bards keep trying to frick it just the same
Hava (you), I hope it gives you the attention you seek.
Have you got something to say for yourself? This took a sharp turn rather quickly.
What do you play? Let me guess, Warrior?
holy shit. who let the guys who play cleric and wizard decide how many subclasses everyone was getting?
not to mention shit like arcane trickster and eld knight being listed under fighter/rougue
what bullshit
This is 5e dnd, you play a cleric, a druid, a wizard, or a paladin.
Anything else is shit.
But those aren't the good vlasses of 5e
Wrong.
Another case of a troony dev getting their hands on an old IP and whoring it out for a quick payday
the development of this game can be called many things, quick is not one of them
Larian has been making rpgs since before you were born, homosexual
What's the last Baldur's Gate title they developed troon?
>durr they didn't make a baldur's gate game so they're all trannies
This is peak moron logic
No no, anon. Those are two different points. They never made a BG game, AND they're all trannies.

Baldur's Gate 3. You're a little slow in the head, aren't ya, boy?
You did not understand his post
You didn't understand mine.
>D&D 5e
>level cap 12
With gameplay guaranteed to be this fricking dull and shallow, might as well just read a book.
Makes sense, 5E goes to shit around level 12
No one plays dnd much past that level for long
I played some balders gate 1 and wasn't really a fan. I'll just wait for the next owlcat game
This is bait. Do not respond to the bait.
I wish. Balders gate was very boring, and I didn't like the exploration at all. I don't know much about balders gate 3 though, besides the name
The 2nd game is objectively better in every single way. If you liked Kingmaker and WOTR, you'll love it as well.
Maybe. I'm still playing wotr right now, is bg3 actually a crpg? From the images I saw it looked more like a dragon age style thing
It's easily the deepest, most complex, most reactive and content rich crpg to date. It's just not sticking to the whole top down isometric perspective that's been popular with crpgs for the past two decades.
>Dnd 5e
Litteraly how
they put an absurd amount of effort into letting you approach situations however you want, and there's a shocking amount of reactivity for basically everything in character creation
True
You can solo run the entire EA just by abusing the random exploding barrels they put everywhere and exploiting the moronic stealth mechanics they just ported over from DOS2 (completely different from how it is in tabletop)
>exploding barrels they put everywhere
You can certainly solo it but they dramatically reduced the amount of fire barrels.
When does Kingnaker get good also is WOTR owlcat oc or recycled like kingmaker?
Immediately, recycled.
From the start? Although personally act 4 is my favorite.
I didn't like the first big dungon, but it was good after that
though some of the townbuilding is a pain in the ass
Kingmaker is good from the start but gets REALLY bad toward the end
Owlcat games are BG copycats.

this is going to frick with diablo 4 first season :/
Yup.. I'm sad because I was planning on playing D4 and BG3. Frick starfield, that can wait.
>diablo 4
puke.jpg
>diablo 4 season, bg3, starfield, 2077 expansion all releasing around the same time
im going to be backed up on new games till next spring
BG3 is the only one worth playing on your list. Diablo is trash. 2077 is the same broken mess it has always been and always will be. New paint job isn't going to salvage it. Starfield is almost certainly going to be soulless, empty, buggy NMS clone. I will be genuinely shocked if it's actually any good. Nothing I've seen or read about it looks even remotely interesting or promising.
>2077 is the same broken mess it has always been and always will be
That is absolutely false and I very much doubt you played the game recently to be saying that.
Ganker is filled with meme poisoned bandwagoners who watch games on tiktok and think greentext is real
I was being hyperbolic, obviously. They've made changes but they're surface level. Fundamentally, the game is still dogshit and nothing like what was promised. I don't see that ever changing.
same, went from zero hype games to PLEASE GOD STOP THIS IS TOO MUCH really fast
I just hope they go back to Divinity after this.
They won't. The 5e fans won't tolerate that.
>The 5e fans won't tolerate that.
They don't need them. DOS2 sold really well.
It did, but that was when Larian was still indie eurojank studio. Now they have over 500 employes and 7 offices around the world. I'm pretty sure they're already bigger than Bioware at their peak. Basically they're an AAA studio and need good sales to sustain their business. I wonder if we'll see them tackle two games at the same time after BG3. They're definitely big enough to do so. Maybe an expansion or sequel to BG3, and a new divinity game.
I'd rather die than be stuck dealing with DnD fans.
Well, this is the new reality we have to deal with for Larian games
I think they're big enough that they'll be able to court the broader, casual "I want an RPG" crowd from now on.
Especially now that Bioware is dead
Exactly. They can tell the DnD nerds who obsess about the rulebook and lore to take a hike.
This. The one big flaw of OS games is the lackluster worldbuilding. How is their setting still so undefined after five or six games? They just keep rebooting their universe after every game. The first OS was a little better in that regard, but bit too generic. The second was completely wishy washy and vague. Divinity OS gameplay with D&D or Pathfinder worldbuilding would be god tier.
Make sure your stock reply actually applies before using it, moron.

Yeah I'm thinking Larian has no idea what they're doing.

didn't they change that?
Yes, and none of those other things were in the previous baldur's gate games. He's baiting.
BG1 and 2 aren't based on D&D 5e you moron. There's no excuse for all the missing actions.
Congrats, you took the bait and exposed your complete lack of knowledge.
AD&D2 had most of those things though and they weren't in the game.
What is your point? That a sequel 20 years later shouldn't be more system complete than its predecessor?
You're now moving goalposts.
>SHIT GAME DOESN'T HAVE THESE ACTIONS
>the previous ones didn't either, idiot

You are an ultratard

You are an ultratard
more like
>yeah well that's a bad thing, idiot
>why is that a bad thing if the previous games didn't include this and they were considered among the best RPGs of all time?
Please explain how having less options in combat than what's in the 5e handbook not the the game's detriment. Why can you shove an enemy backwards but not prone? Why can't you ready an action? Why can't you take the dodge action? Why can't you grapple? Even Solasta, another 5e game lets you do some of these despite being 10 times jankier.
Please explain how any of this is different than the previous games. You're baiting, I know, but your shit needs to be dealt with before other morons pick it up.
Your premise is flawed to begin with. As I've already said BG3 is a sequel made 20 years later set in a different system of D&D. I expect it to include basic actions from the player's handbook. Nowhere in my original post do I compare it to previous entries in the series so you have no point.
Solasta has basic implementation for attacks and cantrips which is better than not having it at all
Probably having a much smaller budget and studio, dodging, shoving, and readying work fine in Solasta.
>Why can't you ready an action?
How the frick are they even supposed to implement that in any reasonable way? Not even Owlcat games have that and their games are full of bloated autistic menus in a system that is a lot more complicated than 5e.
Was about to say, anything more complicated than what it is in solasta (ready attack or cast a cantrip at the first enemy that moves in range) ain't exactly do-able.
Same with grappling. It's complicated enough in game, let alone having to program in the thousand edge cases for just that mechanic.
Yeah, Kingmaker/WotR also don't have proper grappling. I haven't tried Solasta, so I'm not sure how they do things there. It's a bit unreasonable to expect the proper implementation of fairly subjective tabletop mechanics in video game format.
>despite being 10 times jankier.
>10 times jankier
I wonder if there's a connection
well they made Ranger and (hopefully) Monk viable so that's already more combat options than PHB

I wish I could practice the combat system in an arena
the game feels wasted on me not knowing how the combat actually works
It's not complicated, anon. Roll 1d20+Attack bonus. If the result is equal or higher than enemy AC, you hit. Roll your damage dice+damage bonus. That's it.

No hexblade, what's gonna be best best way to play a spellsword? I've heard people mention paladin/sorc. Or do I wait for the hexblade mod to be updated for full release?
>what's gonna be best best way to play a spellsword?
You can just do a shield dwarf wizard.
Hexblade was amazing for allowing physical attacks and damage to be under the same attribute as casting, charisma. It also gave you martial weapons, medium armor and shields, and the very powerful shield spell.
Bard, college of swords, has extra attacks, the ability to strength their attacks, and can choose a fighting style. They're also a full caster, but it's bardic magic. Their fighting and spell casting have different attributes.
Eldritch knight is a full fighter, even more attacks, fighter second wind, action surge, more fighting styles, lots of armor, more feats. They can choose from wizard spells, but they're not a full caster at all, and their fighting and casting have different attributes.
Paladin +sorc or warlock is also great, but again different attributes for physical fighting and casting.

white, male, fighter. All homies will die.
For all the talk about fireball, being a fighter+battlemaster really makes you feel like the terminator in this game.
It's just how it is in tabletop similarly.
Fireball is cool, but especially when sharpshooter and xbow expert are put in on release a hasted 6th level BM fighter that's got bless on them will be the strongest force in the game easily shitting out 70+ damage a round.
Is Eldritch Knight a good class?
No. Battlemaster feels way stronger. Eldritch Knight feels incongruent, half your build towards being tough guy melee fighter, half towards being a ranged caster, better to just focus on one, especially when you already have someone in the party to fill the other role. It isn't technically multi-classing, but these sorts of multi-focus things are always a noob trap.
You're honestly better off playing a Paladin than EK
At least in tabletop multiclassing with Wizard makes for a great tank as long as you realize your spell slots have better uses than blasting. I love 5e for letting me play a heavy armor arcane caster without jumping through hoops or crippling myself for the privilege.
Funnily depending on your starting level you can go Fighter 2/Wizard X. Starting as fighter gives you heavy armour, shields, Con saves, and best of all, Action Surge, which isn't affected by the action/bonus action limitation so you can Action->Fireball and then Action Surge -> Fireball.
Why every third moron is shitting his pants over the lack of Hexblade?
Because muh Gish with Paladin.
It's babies first op 'zero effort' multiclass.
Hexblade 1/Paladin X is the strongest thing in the game and a mouth breathing moron can execute it with no effort.
powergaming 5e shitters dont know how to make a good melee character without relying on SAD gimmicks. force them to balance their physical attack stat with their mental attack stat and they throw a fit
I just want to be able to blast spells and melee shit. It's why my first run of kingmaker and WotR I played a magus/ES. Also CHA being the main stat is a bonus for RP.
will this work?
>no CON
>barelt any DEX
It could work but it will be hard for your first playtrough if you don't know what enemies you might encounter.
I don't want to be stupid or unwise since I'm supposed to be the leader of the group
Be the dumb hunk your CHA deserves
10 wis/int means you have a pretty good amount of intelligence and wisdom already.
If you're going to go all over the place in attributes to pass checks and roleplay a good leader, I suggest picking human for the +1 to everything.
What's the 14 wis for?
You should probably put those 14s into Dex and Con. Cha is a warlock's niche, leave the other mental stats for your companions to cover. Put that 12 into Wis so your other save proficiency and Perception aren't total garbage. Also take a background with at least one Dex based skill.

Kys larian shill
I really enjoyed what I played in Early Access, didnt want to go too far as I wanted to wait until full release to go hard. Facial animation really impresses me
Also is has little thick goblin chicks and thats an instabuy for me regardless
You can kiss her feet at one point if that's the goblin I'm thinking of. Successfully intimidate the goblin she's crushing on to kiss your feet in front of the others, then she'll timidly ask what it was like, and you can offer to show her if you pass the CHA check.
But I was told Larian were cucks? How did they make something that based?
Here you can see the samegay shill replying to himself to create the artificial impression of interest in the game he has been paid to market.
Whats it like being wrong about everything
Here you can see the samegay shill using the console to attempt to hide his marketing campaign, believing that because he is technically illiterate, that anons will be as well. The idea that we're onto him and know he uses the console to obscure his (you)s is mystifying to him. He believes that if he just keeps replying to himself he will convince anons that people actually want to play this game. The game was in early access for three years, they only ever finished act 1, but suddenly they're supposed to finish act 2 and 3 in just two months, and even moved the release date UP. This is going to be Cyberpunk 2078.
why would you assume they were only working Act 1 for three years?
Early Access grants access to the developer build of the game and Act 1 was the only one ever finished until they announced a release date. Apparently Act 2 and 3 will take less than one third of the time to complete than Act 1 took (and that still wasn't complete either), its going to be a disaster. People are expecting this really long game but I guarantee Act 1 will be 90% of it and then you'll get these rushed story beats they had to finish in a couple of months.
They did the same thing with DOS1 and DOS2, only Act 1 was available for the entire EA period.
Yeah and it showed in DOS2, act 3 and 4 were extremely broken on launch.
There is that, but hopefully the longer dev cycle (and a corporate overlord) means they let the back half of the game cook more fully
You have no idea what Early Access even is. Why do you think they NEVER released even a portion of the game past what they released in 2020 if they actually finished it? It took them half a year to get one class half implemented and you think they're going to finish two acts in two months? Christ. At least the webms will be kino.
Because they didn't want to? We know Baldur's Gate (the city) exists as an explorable map but they haven't released it because it was always their intention to only release Act 1 in Early Access, same as they did for DOS1 and 2
>it doesn't matter that act 2 and 3 were in a state that the developer didn't even want to release them in an alpha state and yet the full game is allegedly releasing in one month
Shazamtrannies trying real hard now.
Larian said early access would be Act 1 only from the beginning.
No? It grants access to what the developers give you, there's no rule that says Early Access has to give you access to the up-to-the-minute dev build. It was never Larian's intention to release the game piecemeal.
>it doesn't matter that Larian never finished the game and are releasing it anyways
Oh no I sure hope the larian marketers don't post MORE goblin girls I would hate that! It would really convince me to buy the game!
What did Larian do to draw the ire of such a severely mentally ill and dedicated shitposter? I doubt I'll get a honest answer from you, but it would be nice to know why you have been seething for years and what's your end goal.
You don't need an excuse to dislike Larian, they are incompetent belgian metrosexuals who should stick to making fantasy dating sims. Which this game is.
They made a joke about how when they added up player character data and made a composite out of it, it was a bog standard white male hero type.
Ever since that day he's been perpetually sperging out about them.
they make unfinished games that steal the name, they hate their customers, and they want to turn dnd into oversexualized tripe for starters. if you want to see mentally ill, check out the clown show trying to convince people to spend money on an unfinished game being shoved out the door ASAP so larian doesn't have to auction off the office supplies

How can you not want to frick the female goblin? Are you some kind of queer?
He's one of those closeted pedos that must virtue signal how much of a nonpedo they are, so he conflates shortstacks with cp.

Do we get to try Monks before release or is it only coming when the whole game is officially out?
>is it only coming when the whole game is officially out?
More or less, but if you get the game now you should be upgraded to the digital deluxe edition at no extra cost. Which means you can be able to playthrough all of act 1 with all of the newer features, three days before the official release of August 3rd. And all of the progress you made then forth will be transferable.
I already got the game when it was first available but I’ve been waiting for Monk for years so would have updated and booted it up if they were playable now
Well then you'll just have to wait until July 31st at the earliest, I'm sorry to say.
You can mod them in but I don't know if the Patch 9 version is finished
what class has the most environmental interactions in combat? like ground surfaces, weather, objects, stuff like that. i fricking loved aero/hydro in dos2 cause of rain
Environmental/surface stuff is extremely limited compared to DOS2. I guess wild magic sorceror because they have chromatic orb, and a special skill to make surfaces last longer, but its not something you can really build around.
Woah! Did this guy le hecken say the number 33? Well, I have news for you. The number 33 is satanic because the freemasons use that number!

>introduce 90% of the companions in early access
>add dragonborn and half orc to the 1.0 launch
>the new companions on launch are old baldurs gate companions for some reason
>no dragonborn or half orc companions so you will never see them in game
larian are hacks.
Dragonborn are supposed to be pretty rare in Forgotten Realms, but I also have a feeling there'll be more companions than they've told us about (i.e. still no Sorcerer or Good Paladin companion announced)
What are his chances of showing up?
realistically zero since he's human and should have died of old age but it's fantasy so they can do w/e the fk they want
As a skost (skull ghost) maybe, since he isn't "jewkin half-Black person israeliteborn" or whatever official dnd lore races and ethnic geoups are called and BG1 happened 200 years prior to BG3.
The one in game sounds like she smokes engine oil
She's about to smoke something else

Is this from that cucked artbook/whatever the frick it was? I can't believe the artist managed to make everyone look lame and generic. Imagine honing your skill for decades to reach this level of technical prowess, only to end up drawing stuff that's far more soulless than any ai art.
It's amazing how long it took for me to realise he's essentially The Kurgan, especially given that toothed helmet

I've decided to have sex with Drow girls
https://www.dnd.kismetrose.com/DrowSensuality.html
what seperates an AO rating from an M rating? This game seems likes it pushing the line as hard as possible...
The same thing that separates an R rating from an NC-17 rating. Depicting sex is okay if it isn't too pornographic, but that will be in the eye of the beholder. Remember that the ESRB is basically a self-elected panel of church moms that companies just sort of submit to for no reason.
Wait what i thought game was released a year ago?
Just early access my dude. Full release is August 3rd.
Is game any good? I liked divinity sin2 but second half was boring
so you why can't you choose a deity for your paladin?
In 5e a paladin's power comes from the oath itself not a deity.
Seems a bit weird to me to be honest. There are mods that add a deity choice for paladins, even ones that do so for all classes so you can roleplay as a worshiper of a god regardless of your class.
From the datamined stuff it's actually a woman and it's (possibly serious spoiler) Viconia.
Yes. If you played the early access then you get bumped up to the special edition for free which includes the 3 day head start, some in game magical items that reference the DOS2 companions (Lohse's lute, Sebille's needle dagger, Beast's pirate hat, Fane's Shapeshifter Mask, the Red Prince's cape), some DOS2 songs that you can play in game if you're proficient with instruments and I think some other shit I can't remember.
I think this guy will just hang out in your camp and eventually be your engineer helping you craft shit.
>spoiler
Don't play with my feelings like that, I'm not ready to be hurt again
But how long after it's release will it take Larian to make it playable ?
It's already playable
On 4chins, games are "literally unplayable" if they don't run on 15 year old hardware caked in dust and cigarette tar, or if a streamer takes two hours to setup a bounds escape and then posts a fifteen second clip of it.
I am proud to report my hardware isn't quite that old but it has the other two and the game runs fine.
>oh you have a Black personman larva in your brain that could transform you at any time? let's do so quests talking and helping everyone in sight instead of hurrying to find a cure
I hate this shit, why can't they make you play as an adventurer going on comfy adventures because he just want it instead of always doing these "high stake" stories from the start of the game when the result is the same anyway
The game makes it clear that something else is going on very quickly. Every companion is very interested in rushing a cure and is very disapproving if you take detours until that reveal occurs.
in baldur's gate 2 your sister is kidnapped right at the start and then you can go do hundreds of side quests before you even progress the main story towards finding her
that doesnt count, new bad and old good
fair
Disingenuous, you have to collect money to be able to go after her. Also the game leaves it up to you whether you're going there to rescue Imoen or confront Irenicus.
well yeah but you can get the 15k in like a couple hours, but the amount of stuff you can do in chapter 2 is huge and you can easily end up with way more gold than that by the time you actually take the boat
>you have to collect money to be able to go after her
You have to find someone who can actually cure you and won't try to kill you the moment you mention you're infected, which happens a few times.
They say every fantasy property is a tolkien rip off, they forget to mention that they only rip of LOTR. No Hobbit adventures for gamers. And it's sort of their fault. People respond to chosen one plots, and games are a potent vehicle for power fantasies.
In BG2, right after Irenicus is done diddling you, you will start having dreams that tempt/threaten you, pushing you to accept a great deal of power, if you could only stop being so human and moral. Dream Imoen (your IRL imouto) acts as some representation of your subconscious/soul and works even quite similar to the tadpole/dreamfu, tempting/threatening you to give in, or else. In both cases you can roleplay this as a sense of urgency or pretend it's just a thing in the back of your head that doesn't matter.

The feeling's mutual, it's so jarring that every time you sheathe a long blade it just hangs on your back without a sheath. It also bothers me how even short swords or rapiers do much the same instead of being holstered along the waist. Perhaps someone might give a hand a modding in proper holsters and animations? It's unlikely but who knows?

WotC needed to promote 5th edition and they've had "baldur's gate" lying around and they've given ip to larian who made the most okay-ish rpgs in the last decade
>BG1 (1998)
>BG2+ToB (2000/2001)
The OGs who have since become cult classics
>Baldur's Gate III: The Black Hound (never)
Aborted baby in 2003, fortunately for everyone
>BG Dark Alliance 1-2 (2001-2004)
Some shit attempts at branching out to console arpg, mostly unknown or memory holed
>BG1+2 """"""""""""Enhanced"""""""""""" Edition (2012-2013)
Basically this shit studio called Beamdog tried their hand at remastering above mentioned cult classics by injecting their shitty OC characters, modern sjw politics, stealing the work of modders and taking credit for it and overall breaking the game with a shit ton of bugs
Look up "Beamdog is a guilty of a number of different crimes." if you want more information
>BG Siege of Dragonspear (2016)
No comment, everything above but even worse, and the infamous troony npc incident
>BG3 (2023)
At this point the IP had been dead for close to two decades, BG1+2EE were okayish renewed interest in the series despite all the controversies but that just speaks to the popularity of the classics you can no longer get but bundled up in the """EE"""
Larian win the rights for BG3 circa 2017 following their DOS2 success
Announced in 2019
And here we are 4 years later
cringe, dark alliance games were ludo
So why does no one remember them?
No overlap.
Anyone playing and enjoying cprg games likely doesn't care about console h+s games and vice versa.
i do
why can’t we just talk about the game and not about the shit stabbing, rug munching, fudge packing, filthy fat belgian bastards that made it.
You know why.
i should’ve scrolled down, you are talking about the game, good.
has there been a dragonborn companion announced? i heard they recently revealed them but haven’t read much.
no dragonborn companion known, just possible player race
there are more companions yet to be added though, right? so there’s a chance?
Zero chance. One of the brothel prostitutes in the city is apparently a Dragonborn, so if you're into that there's that, but I don't think you'll get a companion that doesn't charge by the hour.
ah well, thanks anon.
>Swen wants me to frick scaly pussy
>again
What is up with this guy?
Where the frick is Bladesinger Wizard?
This is phb classes only.
No xanathars bullshit no tashas bullshit.
And no bladesinger because that was first published first in scag before being included in tashas.
>wizard has the base 8 subclasses that do frick all for the class
>Sorcerer has all the ass subclasses as well
>Warlock has all the ass subclasses as well
amazing, what a frickin waste, where are all the cool caster subclasses
They were all in powercreeped splat books.
Technically spores, gloomstalker, storm, and swords are all xanathars but that's probably to shore up the classes with phb subclass problems. Like ranger only gets hunter and beastmaster, sorc only gets wild and draconic, druid only gets land and moon.
5e was released in a pretty incomplete state and it's been a hallmark of the system for a while that it is bare bones.
Larian including every wizard sub is pants on head imo. Just make new ones. Make some room for shit that isn't just 'scribing transmutation spells costs 20 less gold per level'.
None of the wizard subclasses currently in the game besides necromancy and divination do anything cool in the fricking game. It's all literal stock Wizard and some minor niche abilities tacked on.
Really hoping modders bring the cooler subclasses in the game.
Do EA owners still get it 3 days early? Because that means there only 30 days left for us EA chads.
>Every baldur's gate game has had an obnoxious gnome companion
Can't say I approve of their disregard for the tradition of the series
BG3 doesn't have one, unless that gnome you save in the Blighted Village and the underdark becomes one later on.
Whos the gnome in bg3?
While I couldn’t call him obnoxious, nor is it confirmed he is a companion. But we at least got Barcus Wroot that could fill part of that quota.
%3D%3D
>this random homosexual NPC could t-t-totally become a companion
What level of copium is this? We're 1 month pre-release and all datamined info points to Helia not this undersized abomination
He sounds like the many cheeses guy from DOS 1
Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same actor. Plenty of actors from Larian’s older titles have returned for this game. Minthara’s actress being one I heard.
Will Edwin be in it?
Can’t say for certain. But in the handbook Minsc & Boos Journal of Villainy. It mentions Edwin is still alive and currently possessing the body of a wizard named Larroakan. Taking residence at Ramazith’s Tower. A wizard of the same name was mentioned at the grove by a student to be. He mentions the wizard is at the city, so perhaps?
>But in the handbook Minsc & Boos Journal of Villainy.
Explicitly not canon.
Like I said, I couldn’t say for certain. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Larian was at liberty to have his character return. Minsc & Jaheira are back. If Edwin were to return that would be their ticket.
I'd be fricking shocked if Larian doesn't take that opportunity. He was a fairly popular companion.
My first character was a Drow Ranger (called Traxex because I couldn't think of a name so I just stole it from Dota) and I picked the Hunter subclass with the Colossus Slayer feature.
Kept my distance, took the high ground (+to hit and +range), used Hunter's Mark and murdered everything. Being a drow means you can see in the dark so I was able to be very consistent with hitting enemies.
The animal companions from the Beast Master subclass offer some amazing utility though and is probably more useful overall.
I'm probably going to play with the dude I played through DOS1 and 2 with.
There are also 2 other friends that invited me to play with them
But I'll definitely have a solo campaign going as well.
Getting 4 people to play a long coop game is a fricking nightmare. I did it with Borderlands 3 and it was very hard getting everyone online between people having jobs, families and other commitments.
>I abused high ground and darkvision to snipe enemies
You didn't beat the game.
I don't know man, the enemies looked pretty defeated to me.
Next thing you're going to tell is that shooting that suspended block above the grave robbers outside the Temple of Jergal in order to one-shot them is unfair.
>Getting 4 people to play a long coop game is a fricking nightmare
I did it with 3 others, and we dedicated one night a week to it. Took us months to complete DOS2 on Tactician but it was honestly one of the best rides. One of the guys quit halfway too, but the 3 of us remained to finish.
I've also done a playthrough with my brother which went a lot quicker. He's been asking me to play together so that will probably be my first playthrough.
Should have been Traxer in continuation of drow men having somewhat funny names like (ob)Drizzt
https://www.dota2.com/hero/drowranger?l=english
>Drow Ranger's given name is Traxex--a name well suited to the short, trollish, rather repulsive Drow people. But Traxex herself is not a Drow. Her parents were travelers in a caravan set upon by bandits, whose noisy slaughter of innocents roused the ire of the quiet Drow people.
>After the battle settled, the Drow discovered a small girl-child hiding in the ruined wagons, and agreed she could not be abandoned. Even as child, Traxex showed herself naturally adept at the arts they prized: Stealth, silence, subtlety. In spirit, if not in physique, she might have been a Drow changeling, returned to her proper home. But as she grew, she towered above her family and came to think of herself as ugly. After all, her features were smooth and symmetrical, entirely devoid of warts and coarse whiskers.
>Estranged from her adopted tribe, she withdrew to live alone in the woods. Lost travelers who find their way from the forest sometimes speak of an impossibly beautiful Ranger who peered at them from deep among the trees, then vanished like a dream before they could approach. Lithe and stealthy, icy hot, she moves like mist in silence. That whispering you hear is her frozen arrows finding an enemy's heart.
I just wanted to jump right in and since I already picked Ranger and Drow female it was the first name that came to mind.
When you create a game in multiplayer you can tick a box that says "Direct Connections".
This will give you an alphanumeric Server ID code that you can then give to the people that want to join your game. They can input that code into their own game to join your server.
It's kinda like an IP.
Since you can play over LAN as well technically there's another option: you can use a virtual network program to set up a virtual LAN that you and your friends are connected to and you can play over LAN that way. But that just more hassle and only worth it if you pirated I guess.

I can not believe level cap is 12 that is fricking hilariously incompetent.
Level 12 is FINE.
I hope you're baiting me for a reply.
Scaling things down wouldn't really work well. The differences in levels is pretty stark, and easily viewable when you're familiar with D&D, and or Pathfinder.
Pathfinder being a thousand times better than Wizards of the c**ts modern D&D.
Where would you put the level cap then? Most 5E campaigns end around level 10-15. Going beyond might not even fit the story unless it's about ascending to demi-godhood.
Twenty anon, twenty is where the level cap should be. And if you as a developer are unable to fulfill the BASIC function of scaling your game so that the table top game you are converting for fits properly that is a complete lack of competence.
I am unwilling to settle for subpar fricking garbage, if you can't properly adapt something, don't fricking do it.
Adding to this, I'm more than willing to bet that the level cap will INCREASE for fricking DLC or expansions.
The "scaling" issue or whatever the frick Larian will claim, or people for free will defend them on is nonsense. They're just leaving room for future growth.
So you want ToB level cap in BG1 or 2? You want your wizard to pop Time Stop and Antimagic Fields like it's just a daily occurrence? Not everyone is into that and it's weird you had this expectation of BG3 at any point but maybe the first year of development.
DnD doesn't even work properly at high levels, it is full of broken things. Why would you want that?
i dnt know anything about 5e really but if max level is something like 20 then i do hope some higher level abilities are included in the game and are just scaled down to be available for level 10+
No chance. Look up the illusionist wizard level 14 feature called illusory reality.
I don't know if they even have silent image or minor illusion working in game but as written that would allow you to make an illusory 14 ton weight above someone and then make it real.
That's minecraft bugs bunny shit, they can't put that in the game.
Also means no ones thought ahead about the implications of including illusionist wizard in the game unaltered. This games obviously successful already and the level cap will have to be raised in the future for expansion content.
And this is one feature from one subclass. Level 17 storm clerics have permanent flight with no concentration. Level 18 storm sorcerers also have permanent concentration free flight that they can share.
Anon if you're going to talk shit know what you're on about.
The description for illusory reality is "The object can't deal damage or otherwise directly harm anyone."
You solve this issue by cutting it. The reality is not every spell will transition over, but you can make a fricking effort to convert things.
Which circles back to the initial point of..
Why include every wizard subclass when the low level features are irrelevant and the high level features are broken and will require rewriting anyway.
This appears hasty and ill-conceived.
Shock arcanist in solasta is cool. It was well conceived.
This isn't. And release is 30 days away after 6 years of dev.
I like high lvl dnd especially in a video game, but it really starts falling apart as a system the higher you go.

She's not romanceable, just the Tiefling Bard from the grove.
>She's not romanceable
Hopefully she is, or at least I can sex her.
She says at the camp party to visit her in the city because she needs your help with something so there is more content with her.
Shadowheart was originally a lock, but Drow girls do have white pussy hair, so I'm not sure now
Elves do not have pubic hair
obviously they do
Do you have any evidence to back that up

>Have you ever seen an elf with a beard? or chest hair? or armpit hair?
Yes
Halsin is probably some half-elven mutt (he lies about it, of course) and the human part of him is evident.
The best Elf in this game so far. Looking forward for him to journey along with me in the forgotten realms. Particularly in the bedroom.
Uhh will players have access to this body type?
Yes.
is this guy romanceable? i want him
Yes he is.
Supposedly all companions are romanceable, so yes.
Not all, there are a few who aren’t. It’s likely Minsc & Jaheira who aren’t.
Ah, I must have misread the announcement. Shame I probably can't be the third wheel to Minsc and Boo.
Supposing you could, would you even want to.
That's a burly man with a small rodent.
You know where it's going.
isn't this game already out? like i can buy it and play it right now in early access. what's going to be different when it launches?
less than a third of the game is available in the early access
also saves from early access does not transfer to the full game
It is just act 1 in the EA.
Nothing will change story wise but there will be some gameplay changes and the graphics are being updated.
the early access is just the first half of the first act, and thats after three years, but the shills are telling everyone that larian will somehow complete 2.5 acts and add several working classes to the game in just a few months. Its going to be a disaster.
They told everyone before early access began it would only ever contain that much content.
I feel like you know that though and are just desperate to spread misinformation.
It’s in early access but it will fully release on August 3rd. Refer to this as to whether or not you should wait.
It's an incomplete act 1, so ~20 hours of gameplay if you will explore everything like an autist
it's buggy, pic related we had characters standing inside of one another in cutscenes
How do you get the background shadow on the text?
It is an option somewhere in the UI settings
Never noticed it, I'll have a look later. Sometimes the text is hard to read if it is a bright background.

As if it will be any worse than the trolls that complain about the game and how “pozzed” it is.
Go suck a wiener gay, oh wait you defend larian trash, you suck without someone to tell you
At least there’s a game to play that is fun. While you are just sitting here fuming over nothing. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
>fun
I mean subhumans call gacha games fun gay, your next argument ? And I am not fuming, just tired of larian shills and drones shiting on my board, 40% of your trash threads are just waifu homosexualry while 30 % defend the game with their lifes
Shills this, shills that. Have you anything of worth to criticize or are you just going to rant about another boogeyman? What does difference do you think you make with your whining in these threads? It’s clear you aren’t interested in the game, good for you. You can go somewhere else and wax poetic about some other topic. Instead of wallowing about a game you’ve no interest in playing.
are you guys going to play with your friends? The game seems way too long for me to want to do that. I cant fathom trying to coordinate 4 boys multiple times a week to play a game for hours, when I can just call off work and slam out 200 hours in a couple weeks.
I have a ffxiv raid group that is used to playing long hours together, we'll do a campaign later but probably start solo
i have 1 friend that i play games with and we played divinity OS1+2 and we're gonna play this too. but i am gonna have a separate save file for solo play as well for when we can't play together
How's the mod scene gonna be?
DOS2 a bit disappointing in that regard
There are already quite a few good mods for it, hopefully modders will be able to mod in different classes, spells and abilities.
So far modders have delved into it more so than DOS2. Featuring armor edits, new face presets for characters, etc. I wonder if Larian will drop a proper mod kit?
I wonder if Helia has been scrapped, a werewolf companion sounds fun and the model is great
more than likely most of the game was scrapped, they're releasing early and they don't even have the monk class built, or anything after act 1, they're probably cutting shit left and right
>they don't even have the monk class built, or anything after act 1
Is this b8?
You’re talking to someone who has been trying to pretend the game’s an early access scam, anon.
He recently got blown the frick out by the game getting a release date and then having it moved forward, so he’s finding ways to cope and this is it.
Nope. The current build of the game is missing 90% of what they've promised and the game literally stops dead at act 1. Its going to be a game where 95% of it is the first act and then its one or two quests and you're done. People are setting themselves up for disappointment. Literally everything points towards this game being unfinished trash. They've wasted three years of dev time barely implementing the few classes they do have. They didn't even have level 5 ready until this year, and supposedly they're going to get to level 12 in one month. Anybody who thinks this isn't goign to be a Hindenberg is a knuckle dragger.
OK anon, see you on release day when you get BTFO so hard we will all be drinking your tears.
>it took three years to get half the content done
>it will take three months to get the other half done, somehow
I'll see you on release day and we'll have a nice SLURP together

Anon, the game has been in development gor 6 years -1 year due to covid and lockdowns.
The EA is only act 1, the have a small team that was working on the EA content while the rest worked on the rest of the game.
After patch 9 for the EA they pulled everyone off the EA to finish the rest of the game.
Keep seething, your tears will be delicious.

Be a dear and dilate yourself to death, tendiebitch.
Monks do have unique animations though? Thats already confirmed at least. You should compare this EA to how Divinity 2 was, The part that was in EA felt really polished, and the rest of the game did not. Thats probably the worst case scenario.
"""confirmed""" in a press release, thats a frick of a lot different than a real game
let me know when you're a doctor and I'm a pajeet shilling dog water games online for pennies and then you can start telling me about who's smart, until then you really shouldn't speak to me at all, just post your ad material and get your rice money
>it doesn't matter that monk
Why do you keep doing it to yourself anon?
congrats you're about to learn the difference between faked, canned demos and released products, enjoy the disappointment on release day, I know I'll enjoy mining the salt
The only one that's not Shazamcope is act 2 and 3. We have seen barely any post act 1 content so there is a concerning chance that it'll be rushed as shit.
Are you unable to process the concept of content being already finished but held back for the full release?
Are you seriously expecting Larian to release everything they develop into the early access version and then have a release that doesn't actually add anything to the game?
>larian has a super secret stack of content they never bothered to push to their own developer build
1000000000% copium, cope levels previously not possible, holy shit
they have financiers same as any other company, there's a point where someone just says "alright its been three years and you've barely made any progress, you're not going to get there, release what you have ASAP and lets try to recoup something", and thats what this is. You think they're pushing the release up for a good reason? If the game was actually finished, they'd just take the time to polish and avoid spoilers for console users, but they aren't, they're pushing it out ASAP because they need money FAST. Larian will probably go out of business after this. The reason why PC is ahead of console release is that Steam will leave the game listed, and they're worried Sony will delist it before they can recoup as much as possible, so the strat is to release on steam and try to get a patch ready on PS5 that will at least keep the game getting sold before the door shuts.
>oh man but that won't happen beca..becaus...BECAUSE IT JUST WON'T!!!!
Yeah, stick around for release date, watch and see. This game is going to be a burning disaster. One unfinished act and two more they speedran through in a month.
Jesus Christ you are an absolute fricking moron.
Again, learn to read:
Nothing you said has shit to do with what I'm telling you, "learn to read" because I've explained this to you a dozen times now.
You are using the argument that just because the early access build only contains most of Act 1 that they have nothing done and are rushing.
I'm telling you they told everyone up front it would only ever have that much content in early access. Your argument is invalid.
Baldurs gate 3 was one of the best celling CRPGs to date while it was in early access. They are already in profit.
It's literally already sold around 3M+
Why would they push the release date forward and add content not originally promised if you really believed this?
When will reviewers get copies?
They usually get them early, the game must have gone gold by now.
There is a pan el from hell on the 7th so we should get more news then.
>5e
kys
Are we really on the "the final game won't be finished or polished" part of the shitposting campaign already? That one reeks of desperation.
so like Divinity 2 ? was 100 % polished, not like it was trash after 2 chapters and barely 10 % bother to finished the game, but keep talking
See that prostitute house in the less reputable part of Baldur's Gate? You can visit that.
Some people actually think that the EA is a direct representation of the full game. They are morons that have no idea how game development works
Yep, they are getting desperate now because they have got BTFO yet again and all their hours, days, months and years of shitposting were for nothing and their lies have have been proven wrong by facts.
I will never understand why they do this with every game. They spend all day everyday shitting on games as much as they can, here and on /vg/ and /vrpg/ only to get BTFO every single time.
What do they get out of it besides the “lolz”?
No idea, it is like they enjoy banging their head against a wall constantly.
BTFO by who subhuman? moron shills, larian drones and people who don't have anything to play because CRPG genre is fricking dead? i listed yesterday this game problems, from garbage companions, shitty story, politics, copy-pasta things from Divinity 2 (like UI), max 12 level, larian writing, etc but not a single shill tried to argue, because they don't have arguments against it, they know Larian can't make a good game, so BG3 is going to be meh at best, but they will act like is GOTY, but people will forget it by the launches of AC6 and Starfield, then they will go back to /vg

He’s been at this for years, anon.
He just sounds more moronic than he did then because the fact it’s releasing shows how full of shit he’s always been, which makes the straws he’s grasping at even more pathetic.
This compounds the fact that he’s fricking anonymous and has absolutely no need to flail around like a moron for his cyber ego, since nobody will ever connect his moronic posts to any other he makes here unless he chooses to, but he’s doing it anyway.
Is he the same guy that always spammed "dead game" and never ever shit in BG3 threads?
He’s the one that said it’s an early access scam and that they’ve taken the money and ran.
The release date moving forward has clearly mind broken him, because I’ve never seen him this deranged before. Even the screencap schizo is more composed than this, and he’s a cowardly homosexual

You sure sound like a brainiac b***hing about people talking about a video game on a video game board. 2 million copies sold btw
Just finished a phone call with Swen and he has confirmed my worst fears, the doomposter is correct, the game is 99% empty beyond what we've seen in EA. Anyway, that's just video games so trivially unimportant. I've got to call old Joe in 2 hours to solve an international crisis
People wanting the game to go up to level 20 never played DnD in their life
I want the game to level 20 because I want them to make expansions. The problem I always saw with making BG3 in the first place is they are making a full 5e homebrew adaption, for one game? Maybe they can reuse most of these spells for OS3 but it also just seems weird to invest so much time for these classes, features, systems etc for one game
People wanting the game to go to 20 never played Baldur's Gate in their life, because even Bioware knew it was unfeasible and moronic to try and fit all of that into one game, and had to spread it across almost 3.
>one game
If you think they aren't gonna milk this for sequels, you haven't been paying attention.
Does anybody here know if the GOG and Steam version can play together. The official website says yes but only when using 'Direct Connection' but I don't know what that is. Is it just a fancy word for LAN?
what does the champion subclass do for fighter?
Increases critical threat range to 19 on a d20 and allows you to add half proficiency to physical ability checks that don't already include it.
(It's shit)
Please don't make star citizen look good.
so just stick with battle master? it's what i played in EA and i enjoyed it enough
Yeah battlemaster is by far and away the best fighter subclass bg3 has.
Champion can work as part of a barbarian multiclass to crit fish with but it has no case where you'd prefer it over superiority die.
Wait what this game is actually going to be release? As in full release??!
Yes, August 3rd.

Sorry pajeet, you already got busted as ESL, don’t try to project now or you’ll draw more attention to it
