It's just Divinity 3 and has nothing to do with the Baldur's Gate name. Why was this game praised so hard?
BG3 had one of the biggest marketing shill campaigns in history. The devs collaborated with Sweet Baby Inc. and it was funded by Blackrock/Tencent.
>Sino-Semite coalition that produce and shilled the most seminal sodomy simulator to date
Proof that we live among demons. God help us all.
>it's bullshit
holy shit chuds are so quick to make up blatant lies, it's not even funny
Proof?
There is none, but most Anons never learned that there's more to formulating an argument than just spouting the latest buzzwords.
>BG3 had one of the biggest marketing shill campaigns in history.
Larian does not have the budget for that. Not even if you limit it to video game history.
>The devs collaborated with Sweet Baby Inc.
Sweet Baby Inc. is a couple brownoids that are paid to mitigate risk. They are not masterminds behind why you have moobs.
BG3 allows you to play a serial murderer, bully refugees, have crotch goblins killed by actual goblins and the story of its most well known party member is literally being forced to be a gay predator. It is not a safe game. Degenerate, yes, but it was made by Belgians.
>BG3 allows you to play a serial murderer, bully refugees, have crotch goblins killed by actual goblins and the story of its most well known party member is literally being forced to be a gay predator
... But racism is the limit!!!
But there's tons of racism in bg3
You can't even side against refugees.
Writing is atrociously bad. Story is shit. Act 3 a disaster.
>You can't even side against refugees
I literally did that in my first playthrough. I sided with the goblin camp and got an ebin battle where they tore through the druid grove and killed everyone with a giant spider army.
Refugees in bg, you trannime shit stain.
The absolute ending is siding against the refugees and enslaving them all. I'm not so sure what you're asking for as the way act 3 is set up is that the army of absolute has pushed all the surrounding villages into Baldurs Gate for safety, which has led to a refugee crisis. I don't know what the problem is. Like there's a quest where refugees have taken over a building and you can definitely side with the proprietor and kill them, there's quests like that, but obviously that's super evil and edgy. If you want the game to paint you as the savior of western civilization for walking around killing people that have been forced out of their homes then I don't know what to tell you lol
Oh and another thing related to the city, sword coast is Tethyrian, which is largely refugee diaspora in culture due to constantly being involved in civil wars and oppressed by stronger neighbors, and always has been. It's kind of their schtick.
I don't know that particular quest. Beginning of act 3 there's a guy ranting against refugees and out of like 8 answers all are pro refugee. That's what I'm referring to.
>but obviously that's super evil and edgy
Apparently it's difficult to deliver an evil alternative that's not edgy.
That's because egdy isn't a real criticism
>Beginning of act 3 there's a guy ranting against refugees and out of like 8 answers all are pro refugee
You're going to have to be more specific because I don't remember a point where I had to do that, but maybe it was because I was gith so there was plenty of "not my problem lol" dialogue options.
Gith, horc, duergar and drow usually have the same responses. Massive let down. Played gith, too. It's clear they had a special gith path in mind (traitor), but that was obviously cut.
The second playthrough I used a deep gnome durge and there was a different set of edgelord replies. Like I suspect people play tiefling because they're an uncracked egg and uwu devil horns not realizing that its the misfit rapefugee race of DnD and then being shocked when they have limited options to larp as a trump voter. I think the amount of racial options are definitely limited, but they certainly exist and I don't think you are ever pushed into a moral decision. Its just not morally grey like an obsidian game, although many of the characters are incompetent or sleezy so you have to make the best of a bad situation.
>the army of absolute has pushed all the surrounding villages into Baldurs Gate for safety
The complaining about refugees is sort of funny because they're arguably much less ethnicly diverse than the inhabitants of the metropolitan Baldur's gate. Like I see posts with people whining how the liberal urban baldur's gate city is pozzed or whatever for accepting these native rural farmers and I'm just like "Huh?" The internet has become a weird place.
Anyone who likes BG3 should return back to Ganker.
Because it was a good game. Next.
dubs of truth. even more obvious is how it made all the corpo shill Ubishit game devs cry. 'waaa, im being held to a good standard. waaa i cant shovel shitware anymore.'
Because it was Divinity 3 and had nothing to do with the Baldur's Gate name.
Shill campaigns because marketing is how they sell majority of games these days since average consumer is moronic. Also objectively speaking, it wasn't bad for a turn based game in terms of systems. Yeah the lore sucked, the redditism and tranniecore is deplorable but the system is sorta okay that you can ignore the rest.
Just pirate it and skip dialogue and it's managable. It's what I did.
Is it BG3? It isn't. It's Divinity: Original Sin 3 coated with a thin veneer of an older established title. But wait 12 months so that marketing Black folk calm down, and only bots remain, and everyone will agree with that.
Holy cope
I bet typing this out made you breathe heavy
Corporate shills trying hard
Yes, corporate shills for a board with 20 autistic morons who don't even play games anymore
But enough about Larian's ~~*marketing agency*~~.
You start the game shipwrecked on a beach, said ship used for a tutorial section just before. One of the very first companions you meet will try to kill you and you are expected to talk them out of it, what game am I talking about?

BG3
Deadfire
Secret of Monkey Island
Hexen 2
BG3 is a proof that the quality of a game doesn't matter in current age, just put enough LGBT content in the game and all the money into marketing and the game will sell.
Because it's a good game and it's clear you aren't interested in having a discussion about it, as this thread has been made a billion times and it just ends with you foaming at the mouth and screaming about Black folk.
>t. Black person lover
Because it's a good game, why would it matter what it's called.
Everyone is gay in it so you have to like it to show how not a homophobe you are.
We're all gay here
Wrong, I only like boys if they're cute.
We're all cute boys here and we're all bottoms, but we only date other bottoms.
> It's a race to the bottom around here
Good to know anyway frick Diversity 3, is The Thaumaturge any good? Got a deal on it of you cucked out to GoG's newsletter.
>is The Thaumaturge any good
Well gosh we'll just have to wait for moeblob to play it and tell us.
True love can only exist between two bottoms. It is only when two people fully submit to one another that true love can be had. Only bottoms, only love.
>ass2ass
I know, you are a homosexual that likes divinity 3, and that's also why I'll never play it or other homosexual shit.
It's not Divinity 3 or OS3.

Umm it's literally set in the city and has brought back big names such as Minsc, Jaheria, Viconia and Sarevok.
Okay I admit, I didn't play the game.
>Remember Balduran?
>Remember Noober?
>Remember Abdel Adrian?
etc. It's a disgrace, and shit-tier pandering. It pretty much spits on the memory of everyone and everything from the first game.
Next you'll post in the ff7r thread and call it the best game ever

>Minsc?
He's a criminal who hangs out in the sewers with doppelgangers and Zhents and robs banks now.
>Jaheira?
She's been reduced to a one-dimensional character of a CURRENT_YEAR "boss b***h"
>Viconia?
Lol no more character development for her
>Sarevok?
Yup, he was NOT REDEEMED SAR, he is somehow in Bhaal's good graces again and hangs out in the sewers waiting to tell you his life story. Also, bonus incest
>CHARNAME?
Yup, he's "Abdel Adrian" now, frick you
They literally went out of their way to shit all over everyone and everything from the first game. Game would've been a lot less offensive if it was just DOS3: Forgotten Realms Edition.
>It's full of Black folk and trannies now and heckin' inclusive gay marriage
I too believe society should have stopped progressing in my teens
>“We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man. There is nothing progressive about being pig-headed and refusing to admit a mistake. And I think if you look at the present state of the world it's pretty plain that humanity has been making some big mistake. We're on the wrong road. And if that is so we must go back. Going back is the quickest way on.” -C.S. Lewis

Atrocious
>full of Black folk and trannies now
That's all of DnD now. Larian just faithfully implemented the source material.
>Balduran
Lmao, who gives a shit? Dude was mentioned all of two times in BG before. But his inclusion into BG3 was totally unnecessary. The Emperor worked fine as a generic adventurer.
>Minsc
I mean...that's kind of what you do with him in BG2 as well.
>Jaheira
Disagree. She was always bossy. Her being a head harper now shows realistic growth. For us it was only 20 years. For her a century has passed.
>Viconia
Yeah, fair point. Milf Viconia is hot at least.
>Sarevok
His inclusion is comedy gold. The whole Bhaal temple is honestly. Larian should have played Slipknot while there. Orin hottest character though and great voice acting.
>CHARNAME
That Abdel Adrian thing has been accepted canon in DnD for a long time now.
I believe originally BG3 was planned with the party system of Divinity 2. If the npcs you don't take die at a certain point you only do the quest lines that actually matter for your party in BG3. That way the act would not feel so overladen with plotlines and irrelevant, seemingly half finished shit.
I think worries that BG3 would have too little to do with BG1+2 prompted those changes. And likely Hasbro pushing for inclusion of well beloved NPCs to nostalgia bait. I hope Larian gets free reign for their next BG project.
Kys, you consoomer slave.

This may be the case, but I think Larian doubled down on their "origin character" shit and had to shoehorn it in. You can tell they're salty about people not wanting to play as/with their donut steel self-inserts, from shit like taking away the generic mercs and replacing them with a list of predetermined race/class combinations.
>I think worries that BG3 would have too little to do with BG1+2 prompted those changes. And likely Hasbro pushing for inclusion of well beloved NPCs to nostalgia bait.
This is also very plausible, likely I think. I could easily see Larian approaching WotC to do a Spelljammer game or something, and WotC making it into necromancy of the corpse of Baldur's Gate to cynically appeal to nostalgia. It's not a game for people who played the first games, it's a game for zoomers who like Critical Role, and have heard the name Baldur's Gate and that it's supposed to be a classic. Overall I was quite displeased with how Larian handled the game, but I wouldn't at all be surprised that WotC/Hasbro did a lot of meddling. We know for a fact they shoehorned in the excessive intro to tie-in to some dumb module, etc.
>Sarevok's redemption in ToB was moronic
Yes, you're right. But they should have just left it all alone. Nothing good will come out of digging up the corpse of a quarter-century old game, half the players won't know or care, and half of them will be pissed at whatever dumb shit you did.
It's a safe bet that Hasbro weighted in heavily on the development of BG3. BG is one of the biggest brands of cRPGs and DnD is the biggest PnP. All of modern DnD is filled with diversity, homosexuals, and troons.
Literal homosexual enabler hands posted this. This is the very picture of a 2024 american zoomer.
>Yup, he was NOT REDEEMED SAR, he is somehow in Bhaal's good graces again and hangs out in the sewers waiting to tell you his life story. Also, bonus incest
Sarevok's redemption in ToB was moronic
Whats the deal with Noober anyway
>Whats the deal with Noober anyway
Noober was a joke NPC at the beginning of BG1, you encountered him in a farmer's field outside Nashkel. He was annoying and would tell you how all the other villagers throw rocks at him for being annoying, and if you kept talking to him he'd get into a script of "How about now?" "How about now?" and if you talked to him like 20 times he'd get to the end of his script and say "Huh. I guess I've ran out of things to say." giving you a minor XP reward as an Easter egg.
BG3 turned him into a meme and used him as a pretext to have some homosexual Youtuber "play a character"
>BG3 turned him into a meme and used him as a pretext to have some homosexual Youtuber "play a character"
Holy shit this is awful
If you think BG3 has anything to do with the classic BG design formula, you're severely mistaken and have never played the games. Only morons like BG3, that much is certain for everyone.
You are like someone calling Kingdom Hearts a Final Fantasy game because it brings back names such as Cloud and Sephiroth. Just plain stupidity.
>classic BG design formula
Describe it
Divinity Original Sin 3 would be kino tho.
turns out divinity original sin is really good, and a lot better than actual baldur's gate
This!
based opinion.
The only thing that i thought BG did better was the story, but then BG3 is better than Divinity and on par with BG, so it kind of equalizes it, all thats left is world design and gameplay and they absolutely smoke it.
Its babbys first crpg but with dating sim so as to appeal to wider effeminate audiences

You answered your own question.
Baldur's gate was never that good
Game finished or will never be finished?
Is the game relatively bug free?
Can I play now with custom characters or not? Can companions stay the whole time in camp or do they need to be taken around to trigger events?
>Is the game relatively bug free?
Yes, I've beaten it on ironman.
>Can I play now with custom characters or not?
Yes.
>Can companions stay the whole time in camp or do they need to be taken around to trigger events?
Yes, but obviously the introductory bits of certain characters are unavoidable, like Shadowheart having the prism in act 1. However, at no point is it necessary to have them in your party, never was.
>Yes, but obviously the introductory bits of certain characters are unavoidable, like Shadowheart having the prism in act 1. However, at no point is it necessary to have them in your party, never was.
Yeah, but they tend to leave if you never take them along. i just want to talk to them when at camp and expand their quest line without them blocking spots.
>i just want to talk to them when at camp and expand their quest line without them blocking spots
If you don't help Gale he'll start grabbing his chest in act 2 and then frick off somewhere to die. I don't think any of the other characters will leave unless you do something like killing the refugees. I don't know what you mean by expanding their quest lines. The companion quests are set up so they have to take a role in them to complete the quests, but you can leave them in camp and just come back and get them when you want to do the quests, like a quest npc mule you that follows you in camp. I actually think it's kind of annoying to play like this because you're constantly worried about missing content, so it's best to just stick with the companions you like and complete their stories while ignoring the others. There's a lot of companion quest content, a lot of the meat of act 3 is finishing up companion quest lines. I assumed your motivation for custom mercs is to avoid them entirely, but if you want companion quests you might as well just take them because they are fully customizable. On my second playthrough I wanted to see Wyll's questline, but I don't like warlocks, so I made him into a multi lock/sorc that converts his lock spell slots into sorc spell slots because locks refresh spells on short rest, so I barely ever had to camp.
Some aspect of it are fun:
Encounter design is (mostly) good and very varied. That means a lot.
I like the engine and the gneral semi-sandbox it supports.
...
Having said that, it has some of the worst writing I've seen in a loooong time.
Not "bland bad" type. But plenty of "cringe bad" and "what the hell were they thinking" bad.
Shame, first part act 1 is good.
I'am sad anons, playing Baldur's Gate Classic games in Spanish become officially impossible. The Revised Translations need the original translation texts made by Bioware or the Original Spanish releases of the games, to work properly and the Classic games are only available in English (at least thats the case in GOG). The thing is that we could download the Original Spanish Texts Patches for BG1+TOTSC and BG2+TOB from ClanDLAN (The guys that made Revised the translations) and then install the Translation patch, but ClanDLAN died last year and there is not way to find the Original Spanish Texts anymore. So the only way that I have to replay the original Trilogy in Spanish is the hideous Enhanced Edition
Eh, I played original BGs on EE, just with patch that removes Beamdog's bullshit and never played Siege of Dragonspear.
I did not play the game, but read angry threads here on release. There was a pushback from anons that woke shit is optional, e.g. you have to actively pursue a homosexual relationship.
Now, I came across a 30min-long video by a Russian dude that pointed out many woke elements. Holy shit, guys. In the main story white men = bad, women = strong+independent, refugees = good, heterosexual pairs are scarce and easily missable. If you don't see wokeism in BG3 you are a mindless consumer.
Thank God I did not waste time on this lesbian turd.
Honestly i dont mind if Anti-Woke warriors said they hate it because its woke (it is) but i hate it when they try hard and start producing bad faith arguments and shit tier criticism for the game.
The game is woke
The game is also well made and excellently designed
This is the truth, be mature and admit it, i respect people who do that, they stick for their beliefs, even if i disagree with them at least they are being honest and not desperate tryhard shitposters who want to remove their credibility with trash taste posts.
Oh, I don't doubt the game is good woke shit aside. Larian have a good track record, and the ratings are high across the board. I was considering playing it eventually. But now - not until more "based" mods fix everything.
Anti-alphabet already fixes most glaring shit.
What it can't yet fix is that some Larian cuck-hack seems to go fullmoron in the ongoing patches and makes things worse.
Minthara and DarkUrge bullshit is a good example from the last patch.
I genuinely can't tell if this post is for real or not.
It's real, pointing out western wokeness is OK in Russia.
there are no eng subs though
Yeah, I'll just wait until patches stop then
Nobody cares about it being TRVE BLADUR'S GATE or not, it's totally irrelevant to 99% of people that played it.
The combat is atrocious, 5e is an abomination of a foundation to build upon for a video game, and there are an unholy amount of bugs. Character building is shallow with very few real decisions, and DnD spellcasting should never ever be attempted in a game. It's designed for 3-5 encounters per sitting, not for the 10-30 encounters that the average gamer will plow through in an 8 hour session. Load screens fricking galore if you want to play a heavy spellcasting party. The plot is also meandering, disjointed, and poorly paced, on top of being wholly uninteresting. However, everything else in the game ranges from decent to fantastic. The production values are very high and the sheer amount of content is staggeringly ambitious. 70 gigs of voice lines is no joke. Coming from the pathfinder games and DivOS2, I found the companions to actually be likeable, even the homosexual vampire. Way too many rpg's in recent years have absolute dogshit companions that I feel pathologically compelled to help because, despite me hating them, I want to see all the content in one playthrough. It's refreshing to not roll my eyes every time one of them says something. The voice acting is superb, the dialogue is well written, and side quests are enjoyable enough to complete. The environments are beautiful and fun to fight in despite the setting being bland.
Overall it's a fine little journey, and despite the grandiose stakes being awkwardly hung over your head for 150 hours, it remained quaint. That's why I enjoyed it, because it was just an adventure I could become engrossed in with a few slices of a different world to explore and a ton of people I can talk to. It definitely overachieved in sales when looking at its quality, but I think there were a lot of people starved for this kind of game - a dialogue heavy (not exposition dumping *cough pillars*) adventure.
I would like to amend this post and say that minsc and jaheira were fricking garbage. Idiot with funny slavic accent and old incompetent c**t with funny slavic accent (that the game INSISTS is hyper competent dangerous lady) should have been left in the grave instead of being dug up and given a MEMBER US???? parade.
So the only quality of this game is the non-gameplay part of it? watching cutscenes, cute characters and choosing dialogues. A dating sim, through and through

>things that some schizo on Ganker told me were cut content
>content that was done but they did not have tie to implement due to moving the release day a month early
They added a lot of the things that were not implemented due to the early release. They even added a way to recruit Minthara without being evil.
Maybe not implemented, but definitely planned, like customizable mercs aso. They also promised 4 tav from the start, doesn't work without a workaround. They promised a lot and didn't deliver everything. Some shizos as you put it made perfect predictions years ago.
To answer your question:
that was done but they did not have tie to implement
They needed half a year, so moving the date forward to maximise sales as they were afraid of shart field has shit to do. Arx is still unfinished shit.
