    Lorelet here, what changed regarding the general populace's perception of tieflings between BG2 and 3? Why are they not ostracized or hunted on sight like the infernal spawns they are?

      But they are? The whole camp of tiefling immigrants (they're all thieves btw) left Elturel because they were ostracized and hunted on sight after the city was fricked by devils.

      Chill with the xenophobia. Some of them are talented bards.

      The more I argued with them, the better I came to know their dialectic. First they counted on the stupidity of their adversary, and then, when there was no other way out, they themselves simply played stupid. If all this didn't help, they pretended not to understand, or, if challenged, they changed the subject in a hurry, quoted platitudes which, if you accepted them, they immediately related to entirely different matters, and then, if again attacked, gave ground and pretended not to know exactly what you were talking about. Whenever you tried to attack one of these apostles, your hand closed on a jelly-like slime which divided up and poured through your fingers, but in the next moment collected again. But if you really struck one of these fellows so telling a blow that, observed by the audience, he couldn't help but agree, and if you believed that this had taken you at least one step forward, your amazement was great the next day. The fiendling had not the slightest recollection of the day before, he rattled off his same old nonsense as though nothing at all had happened, and, if indignantly challenged, affected amazement; he couldn't remember a thing, except that he had proved the correctness of his assertions the previous day.

      Sometimes I stood there thunderstruck.

      I didn't know what to be more amazed at: the agility of their tongues or their virtuosity at lying.

      Gradually I began to hate them.

    Have they done/mentioned anything about optimization or filesize for the full release? (I last played more than a year ago, before bard and barbarian were release)
    It may sound weird, but the major flaw this game has in my eyes is that... The graphics are too good. It's one of the most demanding titles I ever ran, but there's not much to justify this considering it's a top-down turn based RPG. Larian really is aiming for maximum AAA appeal but this shit is heavy on the CPU

            They brought her back because fans complained that there weren't enough connections to the original BG saga.
            As for the de-leveling, I don't like it either, but it was a problem in BG1 as well.

            Character levels are never an indicator of their actual power within the story. In Baldur's Gate Khalid and Jaheira are supposed ot be experienced Harpers, and yet they're level 1.
            Xzar, Montaron, and Edwin are experienced agents sent out by their organizations (the Zhentarim and Thay, respectively) and they're level 1.

              Then you have even more hilarious examples in the Planescape setting, where some faction leaders are level 4, whilst the leader of the Dustmen is a level 20 Lich, along with additional unique powers, his own demi-plane, and a trove of powerful artifacts, who could wipe out most other factions by himself.

              Even so, that's a continuity nightmare. I can accept a certain level of discrepancy between the narrative and the in-game level for balance purposes, not that a high ranking druid would still be stuck in a relatively low level adventure.

                This isn't entirely true though. They would never have made that joke if the statistics showed a black person or female. They felt safe making the joke because it was aimed at the generic brown haired male character that hipsters make fun of.

                That's not really hypocritical. The black afro woman is the default female human (why that is, you might question but that's another topic) so it makes sense to use that placeholder in a trailer. It's not a contradiction to say that players as a whole were not experimenting enough with the wide range of character customization and in the next minute to also use the most bland, default model in a trailer since well, you can only have one model there. I guess they could have gone the route of showing a different player character model every other frame but that would have been more confusing than anything.

                You mean the EA one? That one clearly put more focus on the origin characters than anything else. To me the decision to only keep one model for the entirety of a trailer is purely a marketing-based decision, to you it may be pushing an agenda or a dig at Cis White Human Male Fighter Tal players, but either way we're both arriving at the same conclusion through different paths.

    Frick this character, truly an accomplishment to write someone so annoying.

    A question to the Larian shill, do you have any feedback or opinion on how the characters have been received? Because it feels like lots of people are going to play with a full custom party. So much time and money spent in your shitty characters for nothing.

      >A question to the Larian shill, do you have any feedback or opinion on how the characters have been received?
      Not the Larian shill, but the companions were originally VERY poorly recieved, with EA players simply calling them too confrontational and unlikeable. Larian's response was to at first make fun of people being annoyed that the companions are so confrontational, then they said that those are only the "evil" companions and the "good" ones are coming along (sure, I believe that, Swen) and finally, they decided to arbitrarily change some approval flags around and call it a a day, so while they are still grating as frick, they no longer disagree with EVERYTHING you do no matter what.

                You can make a custom party by making a multiplayer game, launching three more instances of the game, joining your own game, and then playing that save as single player from then on. I did it in EA and will do it at release. Same as BG/BG2/DOS2.

            Gale lacks charisma and his story is full OC donut steel nonsense. Plus even if you actively try to avoid it the game makes every conversation with him end up being homoerotic unless you just don't talk to him at all.
            Wyll is held back by the fact that he's an ugly mutt. I don't care if you're going to make a black character, but if you are, you need to make a BLACK character. Wyll isn't that. He's some ugly, puffy eyed, pasty skinned amerimutt and that makes him absolutely repulsive. He looks like an overcooked Irishman and sounds like a suburban american "youth". I'd much rather have some giga homie, a darkie Sarevok or something.
            Both of them are still preferable to the twinkpire or frog though, so I'll grant them that.

            Halsin, Kagha, and Minthara would all unironically be preferable to any of the companion characters present in the EA. Hell even the Tiefling chick in the OP would be preferable.

            Gale is incapable of talking normally (perhaps they wanted to make their own Jan or something, probably not, but you know the result) and he comes off very neutral rather than friendly.
            As for Wyll, he did seem to be a friendly goody two shoes but after he insisted on taking out the goblin camp because of the kids and then pulled "akshually I've got my own business here" I just kicked him out.

              LOL you complain about heterosexuality... out of REVENGE! Heterosexuality turned you gay. Is that your backstory?

              It's just a reality that many vocal anti-gay politicians and the likes end up getting caught with gay porn in their web history or gay prostitutes, I didn't come up with this stereotype.

            It's not difficult to undestand if you have an IQ above 90. Every time some boomer grognard complains about romances they only complain about waifus. Only about men that are interested in women, or from another perspective only about female characters made to be appealing to men. On the other hand they completely ignore similar pandering or characters marketed towards homosexuals and women. That's just fine apparently. Who knew grognards were so gay?

      Sequel to a very popular and loved crpg made by a developer whose last game was loved by a ton of people and hated passionately by others for various reasons.
      The very first early access versions of the game looked and played very similar to OS2, giving rise to the myth that it's just an OS2 reskin. Despite 3 years of large changes, this myth persists because at a glance the games look similar. (Top down, 4 person party, colorful 3d graphics)
      There's also the spam shitpost that's already been posted in this thread about the character customization, so I won't go into too great of detail about it. Suffice to say /misc/tards got buttblasted over it.
      And in general there's just a lot of misinformation and ignorance surrounding the game, leading people to make statements about things they know nothing about yet talk like they're experts. Typical Ganker type stuff.

                During EA they have to extensively test all the combinations of character models, the animations that go with them, and what that does with the physics engine (like tiefling tails). The post was meant to get more variety in characters going so more varied data could be gathered so they could make more armor, animations, possible customization options, etc.

                no, it isn't. it's to try the game out early. if they wanted people to ignore their own proclivities and devote themselves to testing characters they don't want to play, they should offer a discount.

                And I don't see why that warning would make them any more money than releasing the game the classic way.
                Also, that warning is on literally every EA game. You can look and see for yourself.

                QA beta testing is for finding these kinds of issues.
                The difference is now you pay for access to it instead of them having to pay as many QA testers.

                yes, but that wouldn't happen and isn't what happened, anon. for one, this is a single player game. in addition, the picture is an amalgamation of the most popular character choices, which they used to imply their player's aren't being creative enough, while actual people put their personal touches on as much as the limited creator allows. i wouldn't have a problem with their statement if it was that people were just clicking through with a default character.

                That's... going by the definition. If I average 1000 data points and the output is Tal the white human male, then the conclusion is not that most players choose to rp as an OC donut steel blue haired tiefling (female).

    You are preordering the full game. You get the full game on release, you get to play 3 days early and you also get a free upgrade to the deluxe edition.

    The EA is free, you get to play the game and test different builds etc. Don't want to do that? Wait until the game is released then buy it.

    Larian actually listen to player feedback and have made loads of changes based on feedback from the EA already. The EA now is completley different to how it was when it first came out, they have made a shitload of changes, even did a graphics overhaul. All of this based on player feedback which has helped improve the game a lot, EA has been a big help for the game and making it better.

    Without EA, all these changes and improvements wouldn't have happened for moths or even a year after the game fully released.

    EA is not a bad thing when done right, Larian isn't some literally who that relaeses a game in EA and then never finishes it. They use EA the right way, to improve the game.
