I didnt understand the term white fragility until I saw Ganker is still seething about this off-hand comment 2 years later.
How long can you seethe about a fricking article?
Obvious samegay aside, what part about this do you see as people "seething"? We're clearly laughing at the devs who themselves are seething that their majority white male playerbase choose to play as white males.
>CRPG Audience is 95% White Men >They overwhelmingly create White Male characters >Oy Vey Goyim! Why aren't you RPing as blue haired trans-furry-demons!
Just more evidence that the propaganda isn't actually working and everything is gonna be ok.
They are still billionaires and they've moved the goal posts so far there's no hope of getting back to normalcy in a very long time. They do not care about money.
They keep moving the goal posts and you only fight the last move, until you lose and then you fight the next one. This has been going on for a very long time now.

Not a shitskin, but I see people who look like that character everyday at work, and me myself is probably more reminiscent of that character than any other you could make in this game. It really takes me out of the fantasy part of the game. >Here's Joe, Jim, Max, Greg and Bob from work in your rpg fantasy game
Real people are less boring than fake people. You'd know if you ever talked to one. Demon eyes, horns, and a tail wouldn't make a character more interesting, just more ugly, which is more boring.
> Demon eyes, horns, and a tail wouldn't make a character more interesting
It probably would, on the basis that the player gives a rat's ass about what it means for their character to be of another race beyond a superficial cosplay, what it means to be a tiefling, or drow, or githyanki. If not even that bare assumption is reasonable, then you probably belong in a completely different game of a completely different genre.

>having a character creator with all sorts of options >completely ditch out on Custom Voice Sets, making you always sound like a british slag or 100% generic male warrior
Development of this game has been plagued by tons of these idiotic decisions.
They recorded 300 voicelines for mocking words, but only decided to add reactions to the game after it became apparent that you can't play a fricking 5e dnd paladin unless you have a system to interrupt and declare smites.
And now they're sitting on monk which has the same problem with stunning strike potentially getting declared on any attack hit.
It's like they didn't even know the 5e rules before they started development and have just been shoehorning the rules into divos3.
Fricking belgians man.
You necessarily need to adapt pnp rpgs to turn them into crpg games.
The point of note is how far the game made it in development before everyone realized, oh actually this won't work and we break a really popular pc class if we don't flip flop.
and? BG didn't become a classic because of 2.5e. if anything it's in spit of it.

The story was over with BG1. The sequel added nothing to the storyline, and amounted to a sidequest, whilst ToB was completely unnecessary for the "remain mortal" option.

The only thing that is objectively "D&D" is its mechanics, meaning dice.
Everything else varies from a group to a group, from a setting to a setting, from a scenario to a scenario.
Also, as a sidenote, I find it hilarious that Larian finally realised, midway through development, that people want custom origins, instead of the premade ones. Now they've added at least two, and probably four, regular companions.

Its more in line with da:origin's tone than dos and darker too because the early access testers caught that shit so early on development they changed the writing style a good bit, hence why we have actual dialogue lines in stead of *raises spork* type shit they had in divinity. Its honestly shaping up to be amazing in the sheer reactivity the game has like if you're a drow the enemies practically let you in to their bases in act 1 because they revere you as opposed to ambushing you or passing speech checks to avoid combat if you were another race.
>amazing in the sheer reactivity >if you're a drow the enemies practically let you in to their bases in act 1
We had this level of reactivity back in the 90s
I am not the person you were originally talking to. Githyanki, Tieflings and Drow have a ton of reactivity in the early access. But this is because we only have act 1. You can expact other races to have more interactions futher down the line.

Neither an early Bioware OR an old-school Baldur's Gate feels are there
It's just almost literally just D:OS 3
4 party members instead of 6
No alignments
I don't know who the frick asked for one giant area for the WHOLE game instead of many hubs + dungeons like BG2/BG1. I blame the modern "DUDE OPEN WORLD LMAO" game dsign
Premium access unpaid alpha testing for the past 3 years.
Good strategy since you get money without offering a product and capture a shill roster through sunk cost fallacy.
Probably is an elf since elves are pretty notorious for cavorting with demons.
But the 5e ruleset takes a lot of the nuance out of having a character be of a particular heritage.
Rationally you'd say my character is an elf descended partially from fiends, but instead you just pick the blanket tiefling option and get some features for it.
Other games handle this better through backgrounds etc.
Yes the current customization system is very limiting and I'm suprised that people are satisfied playing with colors instead of sliders. Character customization systems are getting very lazy with the excuse of this pick a preset bullshit.
>I'm suprised that people are satisfied playing with colors instead of sliders.
That's because you're a homosexual or a woman, and you need your bara homosexual elf to top you, or 200 lbs elves (females) to waddle into cutscenes like an American into a fast food joint at 12 am. But this is fantasy, not America.
I thought that was the thread for getting disproportionately upset over a minor detail. Like the fact your character can only look athletic and in shape and you can't transform beauty into ugliness with one slider.
Every game with character creation should aspire to provide as much customization as possible. Ugliness and handsomeness go hand in hand and it makes the game more interesting to look at if you can see a gaunt deformed begger thats an afront to god and a handsome well-built adventurer its good variety.
It doesn't when none of the NPCs react to it in any way, and so far Arcanum is the only game in existence where beauty, or lack thereof, is reacted to.
>Every game with character creation should aspire to provide as much customization as possible.
Says who? This game makes the explicit choice not to cater to the beauty-hating abominations you are and you think that's somehow a dig against it? Where's the comedy punchline or do you just want to be ugly for the sake of being ugly? Go pick up literally any game made in America then. This is DnD and you need to be THIS attractive to be allowed on the ride.

I don't care about Wizards or Sorcerers. I like roleplaying a chivalrous knight with no magical powers.
The appeal is a completely normal guy going against supernatural threats equipped only with his cunning, martial prowess, and intellect.
He's just informing you that humans make average or below average fighters, dumb frick. If that's not an issue to you then carry on. You don't have to dump INT for the purpose of shitposting on Ganker.
Some people simply don't appreciate character building and taking advantage of the class and race systems in the game. They don't enjoy the gameplay, they do it for the larp. It's the new generation of ''roleplayers'' that don't play efficiently anymore but just want to be snowflakes playing always the same class and race no matter what.
Is there a bust slider in this game? I want to play an elf with breasts bigger than her head. I liked how Nioh 2 let you make a chick with gargantuan boobs.
>that UI >barbie make up and dress up
i know a lot of gays who "play" that are just wasting 10-20 hours into that character creation and never touch the game, but still shill for it. For everyone else, i can tell 100% the game is going to be shit, from companions, "cities", story, UI etc, gameplay is just Divinity 2.

You don't get to look down on Bioware shit while extolling Larian trash. At worst their equal, at best classic Bioware mogs everything Larian has done.
Mass Effect and Dragon Age are getting their fourth and fifth games a full decade after their last games where the company is well known to be trash, and they'll still sell. Hell Dragon Age only had one good installment and they still sell. That's how much goodwill old Bioware could get out of a single game. The only Larian game that comes close is DoS2 but that has it's own issues much more glaring than anything old Bioware did.
You don't get to prop up a dead company's corpse and name for your disingenuous argument. The Bioware of current year is not the Bioware of 20 years ago.
I'm not ignoring the past, I'm saying it has no relevance to your present argument. You're trying this inelegant studio war angle when nobody gives a shit about the slop that Bioware puts out nowadays. Compare the essence of the games you want to shit on, not whatever studio is behind it, that's your argument against BG3 being named that in the first place isn't it?
No anon, at worst Larian's history is equal to all of Bioware's. If we're being generous and only take their best parts Bioware mogs and it's not even a competition. Literally what does Larian have besides Divinity, of which 3/4 games are not looked at fondly?
BG3 shouldn't be called BG*3* because CHARNAME isn't the protag. Simple as. Call it BG: Original Sin instead and everyone's happy.

I think major cities on the Sword Coast can handle more than one protagonist's epic, especially with a century between.
IT's not about the city. It's about the implication that BG3 is a continuation of BG1&2, which it plainly isn't. It's not the same story. It's not the same edition. It's not the same gameplay. It's not even the same aesthetic or setting, if you look at the material they put out for "3", you'd never think it had anything to do with 1 or 2 if not for the 3 at the end. It's deceptive and malicious.

There is a tenuous link, but it's there. Also every single person who did play BG1+2 knows CHARNAME isn't the protagonist of BG3, nor was that ever a selling point. Who is getting deceived here then, except people who never played BG1+2 thus have no reason to bring up continuity?

For that matter neither is iwd2. It uses an adaptation of third edition rather than adnd.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH HELP ME Black personMAN
Man I'm 36 and never got into D&D.
Always told myself that one day I'd find a local comic store and join one of those sessions as a beginner, but everytime I see shit like this I kinda don't want to anymore.
Is everybody a pink haired half-dragon-elf-orc-shnorbling with one red/black eye (representing their DARK side) and a white/gold eye (because they can do GOOD as well!) and has a tragic past from being persecuted in their home village because they're polysexual druidkind horsefrickers as well?
Are there normal people left? >Grumli the dwarf fighter >Eluviel the elf sorceress >John the human ranger >Kruk*Gor the orc fighter
or is it just polysexual wheelchair multiclass troonylings with oh so quirky personalities everywhere?
My expectation was: Baldur's Gate 2, but with people talking and moving their characters on a tabletop set or screen with a map.
I don't even want to get into that shit anymore ;_;
Emoticon and emojis are interchangeable you are splitting hairs to argue its ok to do something female japanese teenagers do as a man nearing his 40's.
>You've existed on this rock for 36 years and you're still terminally insecure about what others think or feel? Get a grip.
this doesnt have anything to do with what others think, but with how they act though
if you want to spend your night watching sportsball and a friend would rather watch a movie instead, it's not about what they think but the fact that you have different ideas of whats more fun
You've created this chimera in your head about what the hobby has become or what kind of degenerates have ruined it forever even before taking your first dip in it. That is a very teenage-like way of approaching things, always in search of preemptive validation that you're doing things right or fearing you might be associated with the wrong crowds. Anyway nobody here has friends and we're treating BG3 as a single player experience so moving on.
Imagine playing a Larian game for the story, the game has frick all to do with the 2 previous BGs, it's a Larian game set in the pozzed DnD world, nothing wrong with that mind you but calling a worthy successor to BG2 is 1, disingenous and 2, moronic.

NTA but honestly dragon commander is some of their better work in the writing department. You can escape their damned quips but at least it gives you all sides to work with.
Dragon commander is really the sort of game larian should be making more of because its something they're able to create and write for in a way that suits their talent.
Skinsuiting around an aged intellectual property and attempting to adapt a popular set of rules for it is just inviting criticism.
i suspect it was a survey on their audience the way its designed like a fricking test. And you can tell that the writers never bothered to understand any other political side but their gay communism one, every other option but neolib is comically stupid, not to the level of the klan in rdr2 but close.
dragon commander already showed the signs
actually no, it was straight up, unveiled pozz with how you can ofcourse choose the other option but they dont give any moral justification to a different point of view, you simply choose the "evil" option, which is ofcourse religious conservatism or capitalism.
This game is a cuckold simulator, people are really paying $60 to have a leftist video game humiliate them when a black NPC steals their in-game girlfriend. How sad.
I hope it doesn't break mods too bad, I'd love some of the character creation stuff to still work. If only the hair ones, there is so many extra hair styles and variations, and the mod that lets you use any face on any character. For some reason we need unique Tiefling, Elf and Human faces instead of making them all available to all races
Probably worth it to wait a few weeks/months for mods to be ported, I agree they're really good. I'm glad that mods were able to work with the recent hair change where hairs work regardless of race
>doesn't break mods too bad
Most basic mods will be easy to reconfigure for the full game. Serious breakage happens only to complex mods. New hair models etc will be easy to adapt to the full version of the game.
All PHB races are confirmed, so dragonborn will be in.
July 7th is the final panel livestream. I expect we will see Dragonborn, Half-Orc and Monk demonstrated. I really monk has alot of homebrew to make them fun, otherwise I don't see many people enjoying them
Half-dragons were fine. I'm still not buying dragonborns as a necessity and they stick out as an overtly non-human race which makes it more difficult for players to relate to.
>dragons are rad and you only hate beast races because you grew up with everything being a fetish
I actually grew up with SwatCatz, Biker Mice from Mars, Tennage Mutant Ninja Turtles and ThunderCats. D&D Dragonborn are just meh. Maybe Larina will make them better, who knows.
This is one of the worst RPG's I've ever played. They clearly have a chosen character archetype picked out and just pretend to let you play anything else. The game fricking breaks if you try to do something they don't expect you to do and if they did think of what you want to do and it goes against their plans they just god mode NPCs and have them laugh at you.
I'm all for RPG's with a tight focused role but be up front about it don't fricking act like you will allow all these options when they are just off the table.
When you get to the druids their is a kid selling fake magic items as you talk to him another kid tries to steal from you. I caught the kid and was going to kill them for attempting to rob me. The game flatly did not allow this. The kid was god modded and despawned. I could do nothing to them. The kid selling fake magic items laughed at me and then refused to talk to me. If I killed him the guards attacked and did not let me explain that he was part of an attempted robbery and was selling fake magic items.
Secondly I decided to kill the druids because their leader was a little shit. I stealthed and launched a surprise attack. As soon as combat started the leader and her second in command were god modded and dewspawned. I killed what NPC's were left and tried to find the leader. I found her dead in the middle of the tiefling camp and I was not allowed to interact with her corpse. I can only assume that they planned some big show piece fight at that location and it happened while I was in the druids cave. Missing it completely.
I was playing an evil drow. The kid was a worthless inferior that decided to harm me. The penalty is death.
>he killed a kid >expected the guards to care about stolen shit
Are you brain damaged? This is a rhetorical question. Don't answer to me, moron.
I killed him to see what would happen since the game gave me no other way to interact with the scene as presented. I was not surprised to see that the game continued to ignore my intent and wants.
Isn't it possible these specific interactions were not yet coded in at the time you played? I'm guessing making sure the kill-the-kid-thief option played out properly wasn't a high priority because most players would not even think of doing that.

That's what I mean. Its one of the first things people think of when they think "Evil." Its why many games that let you be evil avoid adding in children that you can interact with. Its to avoid people whining that you can kill kids. Just look at Fallout, people could not shut up that the kids were invulnerable.
Either allow it or disallow it but if you disallow it do not pretend like it is an option and do not give the player a reason to want to kill the kid.

You guys are weird.
Evil is many things. The act of taking one's life for his loot/XPs might be perceived as evil and this is what players do in the majority of cRPGs.
You have plenty of such options - killing, stealing, cheating on people, manipulating them. And yet you somehow find it problematic that some specific, edgy form of evil is the standard all "evil included" games should adhere to.
Weird.

What kind of copium are you living on dude? Literally every relevant movie, TV show and game is full of Black folk, trannies and gays. Your mind is the only thing failing here.
>Literally every relevant movie
They're not relevant when they literally lost billions promoting their failed ideology.
thats why japanese products are at the top of popularity and why they want to destroy them

false flag
I have never once thought of orcs as Black folk
Me either, but for some reason progressives think Orcs are 'black-coded', then predictably project that belief onto everyone else.
Does BG3 even have orcs in it yet
I didnt understand the term white fragility until I saw Ganker is still seething about this off-hand comment 2 years later.
Its not even the fact that he's white, its that its the most boring looking character created.
>clean cut handsome guy
>VGH SO BORING
Want to know how I know you're a shitskin?
Not a shitskin, but I see people who look like that character everyday at work, and me myself is probably more reminiscent of that character than any other you could make in this game. It really takes me out of the fantasy part of the game.
>Here's Joe, Jim, Max, Greg and Bob from work in your rpg fantasy game
>his team isn't Arterios Treesinger, Gor Rockhammer, [ex gf's name], and Jim
>[ex gf's name]
Real people are less boring than fake people. You'd know if you ever talked to one. Demon eyes, horns, and a tail wouldn't make a character more interesting, just more ugly, which is more boring.
> Demon eyes, horns, and a tail wouldn't make a character more interesting
It probably would, on the basis that the player gives a rat's ass about what it means for their character to be of another race beyond a superficial cosplay, what it means to be a tiefling, or drow, or githyanki. If not even that bare assumption is reasonable, then you probably belong in a completely different game of a completely different genre.
>what it means for their character to be of another race beyond a superficial cosplay, what it means to be a tiefling, or drow, or githyanki.
not like any of that matters in this game
Well you certainly won't ever find out if you keep rolling human male Tav in every single game you play.
funny you say that when Im pretty sure there's more race reactivity than class reactivity. Playing a drow is completely different since the goblins are friendlier to you
>Ganker
It's the same guys posting it again and again trying to fish for (You) which is arguably what Ganker has become. A shithole filled with morons who don't play videogames anymore so since they don't get their dopamine boost from games they get it from getting reactions on an anonymous image board so then they can screenshot it to their just as pathetic discord friends "trololololo I'm le master trolle ebin trolled they took the bait epic lmao xD"

If I had to get into deep introspection on the subject, I’m afraid that I’ll have to finally admit that you’ll never be a woman.
I still don't believe they were actually mad in that post about the white dude. That's so dumb.
Your psyops have failed, Goldberg. We will keep laughing at this because it's funny and there's nothing your mutilated dick can do about it.

Larian are a little notorious for having really shit cm staff.
Raze recently got in hot water for making abortion jokes in the divos 2 boardgame kickstarter comments.
Somehow people keep shilling the company and their products though, so they perpetually manage to escape recognition as a questionable company.
Shit staff in general actually.
I'm reminded of the time someone on here applied for a position there, got to interview, and then when he told them about getting QA to hand in daily reports the interviewer was flabbergasted and said they should start doing that, "wow what a good idea".
>Raze recently got in hot water for making abortion jokes in the divos 2 boardgame kickstarter comments.
This supposed to be a bad thing?
It does speak to a lack of professionalism if nothing else.
the image that makes the BG3 communist dev team seethe so bad they have hired 3 different poopjeet "influence firms" to spam every post about it
Don't reverse the roles, the rare BG3 threads are always made and spammed by the same schizo with his white/cuck obsession.
is this "white schizo" in the room right now chud?
kek whites crack me up there the most schizo race thinking even though there the majority those crazy browns are coming to frick there wifes

Remember how three years ago they promised the game won't look like DOS 3 by the time development is finished? I remember

It doesn't look like Divinity at all except the fact it's isometric 3D, color palettes and art styles are completely different

What the frick is that el goblina
Why the frick is there such a focus on romance that you get a 2nd whole-ass character creation for it? The Romance parts in divinity were cringe af.
I just want to be a fantasy hero that fights monsters.
This isn't romance.
This is what the tadpol in your brain projects itself as (Your ideal lover) in your subconscious to seduce you into using it's power more in order to hasten your transformation.
>Why the frick is there such a focus on romance
If you expected anything else than fujo bait from Divinity 3 i have bad news for you

Why are you spoonfeeding the imbeciles? They don't deserve an explanation.
>Play the unfinished EA version and spoil the game for yourself
Stfu moron
If you don't want the game spoiled for you why are you in this thread? People have already posted multiplespoilers. Frick off.
Listen here pal, just because my Tav is attracted to a pink haired dwarf wearing a dress and dreams of him does not mean said attraction is sexual in nature. Get your mind out of the gutter.

great game you got there
Development of this game has been plagued by tons of these idiotic decisions.
They recorded 300 voicelines for mocking words, but only decided to add reactions to the game after it became apparent that you can't play a fricking 5e dnd paladin unless you have a system to interrupt and declare smites.
And now they're sitting on monk which has the same problem with stunning strike potentially getting declared on any attack hit.
It's like they didn't even know the 5e rules before they started development and have just been shoehorning the rules into divos3.
Fricking belgians man.
Not like the previous BG series games weren't adaptations instead of direct translations of the rules
You necessarily need to adapt pnp rpgs to turn them into crpg games.
The point of note is how far the game made it in development before everyone realized, oh actually this won't work and we break a really popular pc class if we don't flip flop.
Stunning strike would be easy. You just toggle it and if your attack hits you use the ki and if it misses you don’t.
It’s still going to be a mess just because of how much interaction monk has when they can stun, knock down, and then push away an enemy with 2 attacks
I’m fricking disappointed by the lack of monk. It was the class I was most looking forward to
Yes, I am not gay so I need a feminine face

Oh we're getting the whole chungus mcfungus humor pack and moronic larian systems as a bonus.
This isn't actually BG3, they're just using the name. Disgusting really.
it's already more dungeons and dragons than baldurs gate ever was
>it's already more dungeons and dragons than baldurs gate ever was
Nice selfie
>Nice selfie
From a mechanical standpoint it is, though. The adaptation in BG games was very loose when compared to the PnP.
and? BG didn't become a classic because of 2.5e. if anything it's in spit of it.
So you admit it's less mechanically faithful.
you didn't answer my question though.
>it's less mechanically faithful.
and?
Not the subject of discussion. You're deflecting.
no just trying to lead a horse to water here.
No statement about the quality of the previous games was made, only that they were less faithful. You're making much to do over nothing.
Not only was BG not unfaithful, D&D isn't just dice rolls. Even if that were true for 2.5e it's not 5e or Larians MO so it's moot anyway. And finally the original point was supposed to be a counter against BG3 not relating to BG which it doesn't even in this tangent. gg no re.
>already admitted it's less mechanically faithful
>B-BUT THE SETTING THO
>B-BUT THE STORYLINE (even though I know nothing about it)
BG3 is very connected to the previous games, and that's just based on information from the early access.
You can cope as you like. My main thrust has been put out there.
Hard facts aren't coping. Ignoring them in favor of delusion is.
Hard facts like ToB ending the BG story completely? Or like Larian bastardizing the former characters for clout? There is no BG3 you worthless gay, just some losers making Divinity 3 with a BG skinsuit.
How about facts like there still being more bhaalspawn in the world than just the MC from the previous games. How about the cult of the dead three popping back up. How about Jergal himself.
I could not care less about the WotC take on the BG storyline and no one else did until Larian started this garbage fire.
Now who's coping, homosexual.
Abdel is only and only ever was spoken of with disdain because it's a trash rendition.
BG Storyline is literally a continuation of a Wizards storyline though?
And it was good. Then Wizards did their own spin on a character going through Biowares rendition and it's regarded as trash.
Bioware are not the writing geniuses you think they are. They have been recycling the same story for literally every game they make.
Don't know why you're talking like I wasn't there. Zoomies don't play old isometric shit. BG has their most unique game paths anyway. What you're talking about came after.
They did it in BG2
I meant literally every game.
Yeah because the BG games are so similar to their
>intro
>3 zones
>interlude
>end zones
formula. You're out of your depth anon.
>You're out of your depth anon.
Sort of a dumb thing to say, like I'm supposed to know what is and isn't inside that single brain cell of yours.
By the way, Ed Greenwood is a lore consultant on BG3.
It doesn't matter how many old names they attach to it. Hell I'm not holding a torch for them or anything. Even Drew is a shitter these days. What matters is what they've done, and it ain't pretty.
Seems to me like you're coping even harder now.
No I just won't accept you appealing to authority.
>me no like wotc, not enough old thing
Ok it literally has the creator of the forgotten realms on board
>NOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT
This is just another old good new bad situation isn't it
It could literally be the old bioware team using infinity engine but you'd still piss and shit and throw a tantrum
>>me no like wotc, not enough old thing
>Ok it literally has the creator of the forgotten realms on board
I don't see how adding the disliked thing would make it more liked but even if it did I'm not kneeling to some homosexual just because he has the pen. BG3 is shit and pisses on the original games it's biting off.
And how does it piss on the original games? And don't say some variation of "continuing the story", that's moronic and you know it.
Most people complaining did not play the OG BG2. The main char story that was linked from BG1 to BG2 was done after Throne of Bhaal. Not that the shitposting turdblossoms here would know that.
And who says it has to be the same character? There are still plot elements that can be used to continue off of.
That's exactly how though? The story was over, these homosexuals just dug up a corpse to slap their name on it and make it a horror show. That in itself is offensive then they go ahead and pick the worst timeline to go from (Abdel) and then decide to bring old characters back to make into more horror shows. Frick everything about this venture.
So basically you can't put it into words and are eternally seething over nothing. Nice.
I just did put it into words. You just don't like them. That's called cope.
NWN2 absolutely should not have been made, yes.
You so dumb. I guess Neverwinter Nights 2 and Icewind Dale 2 shouldn't have been made either. moron.
They are completely unrelated stories.
Cmon, really.
You see the shill word tossed around these threads pretty haphazardly, but with so many arguments made in such bad faith and with such ignorance as these it really does seem appropriate.
>They are completely unrelated stories.
Isn't this why you're complaining about BG3? Because it is not a direct continuation of BG2. Make up your mind troon. You can't be in the middle. You're either a man or an abomination. There is no inbetween.
>inb4 this is not what i was talking about
It literally is. You just complained that BG3 was not directly linked to BG2. Are my eyes wrong?
That's not true, though. The Illithid plot point is a direct continuation of the unresolved "mind flayer conspiracy" beneath Athkatla in BG2.
>The Illithid plot point is a direct continuation of the unresolved "mind flayer conspiracy" beneath Athkatla in BG2.
Was that confirmed or is it just speculation? If there is official confirmation link it up please.
The story was over with BG1. The sequel added nothing to the storyline, and amounted to a sidequest, whilst ToB was completely unnecessary for the "remain mortal" option.
If you just stated, after the events of the first game, that CHARNAME lived in Baldur's Gate, where he eventually became a Grand Duke, you'd lose nothing from his personal story.
>If you just stated
But it wasn't.
>And how does it piss on the original games
homie ELVES
Those have been a thing for ages now.
People like to confuse Tolkein with D&D.
How about troony dwarves?
Now show me a troony dwarf in the game that is not player made. The only way to bring trannies into the game is if you chose to bring them in. Same as the homosexual that made the person he dreams of a purple haired dwarf. This is your choice. You're the homosexual. Now go choke on a wiener.

Exactly so.
If you ignore the Beamdog companions, skip the Siege of Dragonspear, and mod the cutscenes back in, then there's literally nothing wrong with the EE.
somehow I doubt he did half of that. it's even easier though since all EE copies come with a regular copy. I just doubt anon used it.

lol, lmao even
you're literally in a thread about the baldur gate series. how fricking contrarian can you be?
That was always the case. Even the Solar at the end of ToB says that "the majority" of Bhaalspawn are dead.
The fact that they're biologically immortal also isn't new - that was an actual Bhaalspawn ability in the PnP.
The only retcon, made by Greenwood himself, is that you can't get rid of all of Bhaal's essence within you.
I wasn't arguing it wasn't? Try and keep up anon.
ToB Ending is canon that Abdel Adrian (the canon MC of Baldurs Gate) took the decision to stay a mortal so it's not really revelant. What former characters is Larian bastardising? Minsc is his old Reddit-tastic self, and all the changes to Jaheira (of which we don't know have been brought into BG3) are from Beamdog.
First off, read the post right above yours. Second, I don't care if you don't like Minsc. If anyhting you should be more annoyed they decided to contrive him back into the scene. Third, arguing they're going forward with beamBlack person shit isn't a good look, nor did they actually do anything to Jaheira.
>canon
No such thing. The books aren't canon. DnD 5e's lorerape of Charname isn't canon.
>Not only was BG not unfaithful, D&D isn't just dice rolls.
The only thing that is objectively "D&D" is its mechanics, meaning dice.
Everything else varies from a group to a group, from a setting to a setting, from a scenario to a scenario.
Also, as a sidenote, I find it hilarious that Larian finally realised, midway through development, that people want custom origins, instead of the premade ones. Now they've added at least two, and probably four, regular companions.
It's kind of baffling to me how theyre still sticking to the premade character concept even when working a completely different game. RPGs have always been about making your own character and story.
So then make your own character? Nothing is stopping you.
>So then make your own character? Nothing is stopping you
Except all the content theyve put into their OC characters instead of making the custom character experience better.
You can experience that content by having that character in your party, numbskull.
Plus Custom Origin character have their own unique content.
Its more in line with da:origin's tone than dos and darker too because the early access testers caught that shit so early on development they changed the writing style a good bit, hence why we have actual dialogue lines in stead of *raises spork* type shit they had in divinity. Its honestly shaping up to be amazing in the sheer reactivity the game has like if you're a drow the enemies practically let you in to their bases in act 1 because they revere you as opposed to ambushing you or passing speech checks to avoid combat if you were another race.
>amazing in the sheer reactivity
>if you're a drow the enemies practically let you in to their bases in act 1
We had this level of reactivity back in the 90s
>We had this level of reactivity back in the 90s
No we did not. Not even close.
Race-level reactivity was the minimum. There's nothing special about the example you gave
To be fair, getting back to 90s level is a good thing considering who RPGs have degenerated over time.
I am not the person you were originally talking to. Githyanki, Tieflings and Drow have a ton of reactivity in the early access. But this is because we only have act 1. You can expact other races to have more interactions futher down the line.
I do expect it. It's the bare minimum and nothing special
In an ideal world it would be nothing special, but every other crpg on the market currently has much less reactivity
>but every other crpg on the market currently has much less reactivity
Bullshit. Relatively recent releases like PoE2 had plenty and we haven't even seen how much BG3 has yet.
There is only one game that has comparable amount of reactivity and story flexibility and that's Divnity:Original Sin 2.
Epic bait. Divinity:Original Sin 2 is barely even an RPG
He's right. It's closer to an XCOM game than a true cRPG
its combat is better than any "true dnd" "true rpg" one. I just wish it was harder with the way ai intentionally makes stupid tactical decisions so you could win. I dont need any of this shit.
Kingmaker is better. Even Pillars 2 is better
no its not. I dont need some stupid useless spells and abilities that do nothing, i dont need a chance they will work or chance that i will hit or miss. I dont need limits per day on how often i can cast. This shit doesnt belong in a videogame.
Stick with XCOM, moron-kun
stick with a slot machine if you like chance based gameplay
Alea iacta est, moron-kun.
you are either a shill (most likely) or an extremely gullible idiot
the beginning of the game always has the most effort put into it
you can expect much less "reactivity" further down the line
I played the demo for a moderate amount of hours
Neither an early Bioware OR an old-school Baldur's Gate feels are there
It's just almost literally just D:OS 3
4 party members instead of 6
No alignments
I don't know who the frick asked for one giant area for the WHOLE game instead of many hubs + dungeons like BG2/BG1. I blame the modern "DUDE OPEN WORLD LMAO" game dsign
Seething troon detected.
The game is functionally Divinity Original Sin III. It shares zero DNA with the old Infinity Engine games
More like functionally DnD
Divinity Original Sin wearing a DnD skin-suit, sure
Why?
It's being developed by those responsible for D:OS2. Naturally, it bears more resemblance to this than the old Infinity Engine games
its worse than dos 2 in almost everything
Larian are just using the opportunity to make D:OS3. The even forgot they were making a DnD game at one point in the development
It s baldurs original sin
Has this game actually fricking come out yet? Or is Early Access just a buzzword now for "vapourware that zoomers pay us to keep making"
Full release is this august according to the steam page
Premium access unpaid alpha testing for the past 3 years.
Good strategy since you get money without offering a product and capture a shill roster through sunk cost fallacy.
They can use the input from ea players to make the game better, everyone wins.
cute space buns
Does it have breast sliders? Because I'm not playing with flatties.
Why the blue hair? Let me launch the early access and show you how make a proper Thiefling Waifu, brb.
Should've chosed different horns. Those don't fit that well.
Looks like facepainted Elizabeth Olsen. I approve
>facepainted Elizabeth Olsen
Thanks, now i can't unsee this.
Needs some white powder of unidentified origin on the nose then
>tiefling
>looks like an elf
for what purpose?
Probably is an elf since elves are pretty notorious for cavorting with demons.
But the 5e ruleset takes a lot of the nuance out of having a character be of a particular heritage.
Rationally you'd say my character is an elf descended partially from fiends, but instead you just pick the blanket tiefling option and get some features for it.
Other games handle this better through backgrounds etc.
I'm amazed that you/they could make the snowflake aspects of tieflings even gayer.
>different races
>it's just a human with some shit glued on
style matters. this isn't style, it's petulance.
Yeah
40yo obese alcoholic man a la "Norf FC"
Yes the current customization system is very limiting and I'm suprised that people are satisfied playing with colors instead of sliders. Character customization systems are getting very lazy with the excuse of this pick a preset bullshit.
>I'm suprised that people are satisfied playing with colors instead of sliders.
That's because you're a homosexual or a woman, and you need your bara homosexual elf to top you, or 200 lbs elves (females) to waddle into cutscenes like an American into a fast food joint at 12 am. But this is fantasy, not America.
You are seething an awful lot for what is a minor criticism.
I thought that was the thread for getting disproportionately upset over a minor detail. Like the fact your character can only look athletic and in shape and you can't transform beauty into ugliness with one slider.
Every game with character creation should aspire to provide as much customization as possible. Ugliness and handsomeness go hand in hand and it makes the game more interesting to look at if you can see a gaunt deformed begger thats an afront to god and a handsome well-built adventurer its good variety.
It doesn't when none of the NPCs react to it in any way, and so far Arcanum is the only game in existence where beauty, or lack thereof, is reacted to.
>Every game with character creation should aspire to provide as much customization as possible.
Says who? This game makes the explicit choice not to cater to the beauty-hating abominations you are and you think that's somehow a dig against it? Where's the comedy punchline or do you just want to be ugly for the sake of being ugly? Go pick up literally any game made in America then. This is DnD and you need to be THIS attractive to be allowed on the ride.
This is a moronic arguement and its going nowhere. You've assumed things that have never been said like how its against beauty to have more options for a character creator for little to no reason besides a boogey man you've created inside of your, clearly, non-american head.
>You've assumed things
And you have the memory of a goldfish, these are your words:
>Ugliness and handsomeness go hand in hand
No, no it doesn't. In another story or setting maybe, but not this one. Go be an ugly freak somewhere else.
>Like the fact your character can only look athletic and in shape and you can't transform beauty into ugliness with one slider.
You brought it up first and used nearly the same wording that they are hand in hand. I'm done arguing with you otherworldly troglodyte. Go play barbie in the sims or something.
>I'm done
Hopefully, but everyone knows you'll crawl back in the next thread, with your sad kvetching about the player character being a Chad or Stacy and nothing else. You don't get to appropriate fantasy settings about beautiful and heroic people with your penchant for ugliness, homosexual.
they could start by spelling 'color' properly
>American
Don't you have a goat to frick or something? Go to your country's image board and complain about americans there.
Isn't it like 3 am where you live? Go to sleep, these are civilized hours.
Only English speaking country that matters
Excellent bait
>this entire thread
White boys will unironically spend literal hours crying about some random person on twitter creating a screencap where they call a white skinned character boring, instead of having sex with horny white girls during summer. What the FRICK went wrong?
Not white boys, just Ganker
Highly doubt it's brown and black people seething that someone called a white npc boring, but sure.
And I would hesitate to call Ganker white. Anons are the Black folk of the internet.
why do all the women in this game look like they're doped up on SSRIs and benzos?

>Wizards are Reddit

not entirely his fault
Na, that was a /tg/ thing back when it was a containment board (mostly for Warhammer). Actual newbie keep your mouth shut.
I've been here since 2007 you dumb underage. Ganker has been wizard central since forever. /tg/ likes the meme classes and /misc/tards are the ones larping about being paladins.
I don't care about Wizards or Sorcerers. I like roleplaying a chivalrous knight with no magical powers.
The appeal is a completely normal guy going against supernatural threats equipped only with his cunning, martial prowess, and intellect.
>I like roleplaying a chivalrous knight with no magical powers.
>chivalrous knight
Yes. King Arthur was one of my favorite tales growing up.
He's just informing you that humans make average or below average fighters, dumb frick. If that's not an issue to you then carry on. You don't have to dump INT for the purpose of shitposting on Ganker.
Some people simply don't appreciate character building and taking advantage of the class and race systems in the game. They don't enjoy the gameplay, they do it for the larp. It's the new generation of ''roleplayers'' that don't play efficiently anymore but just want to be snowflakes playing always the same class and race no matter what.
Is there a bust slider in this game? I want to play an elf with breasts bigger than her head. I liked how Nioh 2 let you make a chick with gargantuan boobs.
I would like an actual masculine body type instead of every male being an eggheaded pathetic twink, yes

>that UI
>barbie make up and dress up
i know a lot of gays who "play" that are just wasting 10-20 hours into that character creation and never touch the game, but still shill for it. For everyone else, i can tell 100% the game is going to be shit, from companions, "cities", story, UI etc, gameplay is just Divinity 2.
Yeah and rogue trader is just Pathfinder 3.
Shut the frick up homosexual.
hahaha, nice argument loser, why bring up Pathfinder? oh yeah, because you have no arguments against what i said, this shit is Divinity 3 and you know it, now have a nice day Larian shill, you make the same thread everyday, shilling that game for FREE, you're like Jannie
Damn that really got under your skin.

WHAT THE FRICK IS THE HOLD UP.
its basically finished.
So how many shilling threads per day for this "Game" ? kys Larian gays
>trying to shame people about the games they like to talk about
Typical female behaviour. Now some facts, b***h. Officialy over a million people own the game just on Steam(unofficialy it is something like 4 milion). You think that people wouldn't want to talk about the game they've been playing in early access now that the full release is like a month away? Go suck a shotgun you dumb twat.
Holy shit its farquuad. How come you aren't posting your characters?
Farquaad hates bg3, he may be in the thread but that post isn't him
Farquaad is as fickle as the wind. As long as he gets to make his gay male fantasy in a game he'll stay on it forever.
Farquaad is permabanned.
He ban evades on the regular
If it was him he’d already
1) already be posting his self inserts
2) utterly refusing to shut the frick up
3) tacitly admitting it’s him the second someone calls him out
He’s like manlet tears in that regard. Then there’s the fact that he hates BG3 because he got spiritually cucked by Astarion being bi, which will never stop being hilarious.
He might be the homosexual screeching about how the game isn't related to the previous ones story-wise, but then why hasn't he revealed himself? Puzzling.
I doubt it. Like manlet, Farquad is a narcissist that absolutely has to let people know who he is, even if doing so will make everyone instantly ignore everything he says.
>he got spiritually cucked by Astarion being bi
LMAO i guess all the homosexuals are now salty.
What are you talking about you dumb schizo? Also last time i posted my character(high elf eldrich knight) was on /vrpg/ like a month ago and his name wasnt Farquaad.
99% of BG3 threads used to hit page 10 though, there are definitely shills, the fact that you're a disgusting br*t is yet another proof that Larian's marketing team blows dick.
https://steamspy.com/app/1086940
It's not unofficially. It's between 2-5 million.
wow, 4 million people, a lot of anon, let's see steam numbers, impresive bro, where are those 4 millions again ? ok larian shill, now go and learn new shills tactics, those ones suck wiener, like you.
We're really pretending that DOS 3 is more of a BG game than BG2 just because it features the city of baldur's gate? Lariantroons are something else.
BG2 should really have been called Athkatla. Because it takes place in Athkatla, not Baldur's Gate.
It was supposed to be just called "Shadows of Amn", but then the marketing team insisted on keeping the old name for brand recognition.
I think the game was technically called shadows of amn.
It was changed to be the subtitle last minute.
Define a BG game now, troon.
A game that features BG1/2's aesthetic, gameplay and story. Boy was that hard.
Shut the frick up Farqaad.
Search the archive you dumb troon and stop calling me Farquaad.
See
>BG threads are just Biowaretrannies seething
Lmao
You don't get to look down on Bioware shit while extolling Larian trash. At worst their equal, at best classic Bioware mogs everything Larian has done.
>At worst their equal, at best classic Bioware mogs everything Larian has done.
this is your brain on bioslop
Mass Effect and Dragon Age are getting their fourth and fifth games a full decade after their last games where the company is well known to be trash, and they'll still sell. Hell Dragon Age only had one good installment and they still sell. That's how much goodwill old Bioware could get out of a single game. The only Larian game that comes close is DoS2 but that has it's own issues much more glaring than anything old Bioware did.
You don't get to prop up a dead company's corpse and name for your disingenuous argument. The Bioware of current year is not the Bioware of 20 years ago.
Ignoring the past doesn't make it go away, zoomy.
I'm not ignoring the past, I'm saying it has no relevance to your present argument. You're trying this inelegant studio war angle when nobody gives a shit about the slop that Bioware puts out nowadays. Compare the essence of the games you want to shit on, not whatever studio is behind it, that's your argument against BG3 being named that in the first place isn't it?
No anon, at worst Larian's history is equal to all of Bioware's. If we're being generous and only take their best parts Bioware mogs and it's not even a competition. Literally what does Larian have besides Divinity, of which 3/4 games are not looked at fondly?
BG3 shouldn't be called BG*3* because CHARNAME isn't the protag. Simple as. Call it BG: Original Sin instead and everyone's happy.
You could just try not being autistic.
No.
No it isn't.
IT's not about the city. It's about the implication that BG3 is a continuation of BG1&2, which it plainly isn't. It's not the same story. It's not the same edition. It's not the same gameplay. It's not even the same aesthetic or setting, if you look at the material they put out for "3", you'd never think it had anything to do with 1 or 2 if not for the 3 at the end. It's deceptive and malicious.
>It's not the same story.
Except it is, you just refuse to accept that because you're hyper autistic or whatever.
>It's about the implication that BG3 is a continuation of BG1&2
There is a tenuous link, but it's there. Also every single person who did play BG1+2 knows CHARNAME isn't the protagonist of BG3, nor was that ever a selling point. Who is getting deceived here then, except people who never played BG1+2 thus have no reason to bring up continuity?
>Also every single person who did play BG1+2 knows CHARNAME isn't the protagonist of BG3
How could anybody know this?
That's hypocritical.
See
I think major cities on the Sword Coast can handle more than one protagonist's epic, especially with a century between.
>I think major cities on the Sword Coast can handle more than one protagonist's epic, especially with a century between.

>Neverwinter Nights *2*
>Icewind Dale *2*
Stop being dumb. Most RPGs do this.
>Wizardry series where the most connected ones are 6+7+8 but all else is not
>Might and Magic same
I am starting to think that the idiots in this thread don't play videogames or are incredibly underage.
IWD2 & NWN2 are identical to their predecessors, not remotely similar comparison. Calling BG"3" is like calling Dark alliance BG3.
>IWD2 & NWN2 are identical to their predecessors
LOL wut? Are you on drugs????
are you pretending to be stupid? they're literally the same game just a different module
They arent the same, at least not NWN to NWN2 and while IWD 2 has a similar concept to IWD they are still pretty different because of the changes coming from the new edition.
NWN 2 isn't even on the same edition as NWN1. moron,
For that matter neither is iwd2. It uses an adaptation of third edition rather than adnd.
If you've played the recent pathfinder games and then pick up iwd2 somewhere you'll immediately recognize feats like spell penetration and power attack.
No ones going to dispute that it's an adequately titled sequel though since it was made by black isle and set in the same locations as the first game at a later date.
>The "CHARNAM" troony hasn't even played any of the other FR games that he keeps talking about
Holy shit
Now that's a moronic way to look at it.
What does BG2 have to do with BG? You have to be a full-on moron NOT to realize the BG1&2 games are not about BG but about CHARNAME. You could make a better argument for it being about the time of troubles than for it being about BG, which again doesn't even feature in the second game.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH HELP ME Black personMAN
Man I'm 36 and never got into D&D.
Always told myself that one day I'd find a local comic store and join one of those sessions as a beginner, but everytime I see shit like this I kinda don't want to anymore.
Is everybody a pink haired half-dragon-elf-orc-shnorbling with one red/black eye (representing their DARK side) and a white/gold eye (because they can do GOOD as well!) and has a tragic past from being persecuted in their home village because they're polysexual druidkind horsefrickers as well?
Are there normal people left?
>Grumli the dwarf fighter
>Eluviel the elf sorceress
>John the human ranger
>Kruk*Gor the orc fighter
or is it just polysexual wheelchair multiclass troonylings with oh so quirky personalities everywhere?
My expectation was: Baldur's Gate 2, but with people talking and moving their characters on a tabletop set or screen with a map.
I don't even want to get into that shit anymore ;_;
Pretty reasonable spread if you just play with likeminded players you meet on here.
Particularly the orc/goblin troublemaker player.
If you're 36 and still using emojis guess what camp you would've fell in to.
;_; is an accepted emoticon on Ganker, newhomosexual
No, it isn't.
Yes it is, moot used to use it all the time
Moot's not here anymore oldie, now bend over its time for your medicine.
k (._. )
>emojis
Zoomer...
Emoticon and emojis are interchangeable you are splitting hairs to argue its ok to do something female japanese teenagers do as a man nearing his 40's.
You've existed on this rock for 36 years and you're still terminally insecure about what others think or feel? Get a grip.
>You've existed on this rock for 36 years and you're still terminally insecure about what others think or feel? Get a grip.
this doesnt have anything to do with what others think, but with how they act though
if you want to spend your night watching sportsball and a friend would rather watch a movie instead, it's not about what they think but the fact that you have different ideas of whats more fun
You've created this chimera in your head about what the hobby has become or what kind of degenerates have ruined it forever even before taking your first dip in it. That is a very teenage-like way of approaching things, always in search of preemptive validation that you're doing things right or fearing you might be associated with the wrong crowds. Anyway nobody here has friends and we're treating BG3 as a single player experience so moving on.
There's still normal people out there but yes nerd spaces are getting run over with sexual deviants and wokeists.
Imagine playing a Larian game for the story, the game has frick all to do with the 2 previous BGs, it's a Larian game set in the pozzed DnD world, nothing wrong with that mind you but calling a worthy successor to BG2 is 1, disingenous and 2, moronic.
BG3>BG2>BG1
If we're talking about the pozz level, sure. It sure as hell doesn't shine by it's writing.
Let's not pretend BG 1 & 2 were some shining paragons of writing.
Sure, it's only making BG3 look worse though.
>Wait, are you implying that the older BG games have better writing than BG3?
Yes.
>Sure, it's only making BG3 look worse though.
BG1's writing is Larian-tier wacky at times.
BG1 is whimsical, BG3 is raunchy at BEST. Larian can't write nuanced characters for shit, let alone interesting characters. But hey, at least you can have anal sex with Shadowheart
>But hey, at least you can have anal sex
I will now buy your game.
You know, those sex storyboards never include half-size people, I wonder why. Sounds like heightism to me. Does Larian need to be cancelled for not even entertaining the idea halflings, gnomes and dwarves are sexual beings as well?
>he doesn't know
I'm pretty sure that some of the base work for sex scenes with halflings/gnomes/dwarves was leaked. So you can be a gnome sexing Shadowheart.
You can have sex with Minthara in EA right now. Somebody should see what happens when you do it with a dwarf or gnome
Depends if the scene is fully implemented.
seems pretty implemented to me
>You can have sex with Minthara in EA right now
This shit has never not been cringe in any RPG.
>So you can be a gnome sexing Shadowheart.
Pretty immersion breaking but at least we're continuing the tradition of having a gnome-fricking degenerate like Aerie in BG2
They're belgians but even so they probably aren't stupid enough to publish material that could be used to simulate something illegal.
Probably.
isn't that exactly the area where that "artistic e-girlta" shit is legal?
I'm not familiar with belgian law but what I am familiar with is modders and fantasy rpg games like skyrim.
Those goblin rigs are actually made for humaniod wiener
That's because manlets don't get any pussy.
Wait, are you implying that the older BG games have better writing than BG3? Take your meds troon.
>calling others troon
>while defending Larian
don't you have some bulls to fluff for the frog or some feet to lick or something?
>troon seething even harder
You don't have to lick the feet, you don't have to romance the frog. It is all up to you. It is all your choice. If you chose it, you're the gay. Are you the idiot that claimed that the game forces you to be gay because when he was asked ''who do you dream of, who do you desire'' in the character creator he made a purple haired dwarf? Seriously. You're turbo gay.
>NOOOOOOO IT'S NOT POZZED IF YOU IGNORE ALL THE DISGUSTING SHIT
BG3 is troonycore and you ought to know that, Lariantroon.
Ignore it? You can kill the goblin the moment he tells you to lick his feet. You can kill the frog. The choice is yours how you react. Stop coping, if there is something gay on the screen it was your doing, nothing is forced on you. You're just a dumb gay.
I am going to play the frog and frick the autist and maybe the halfling werewolf grandma.
The frog likes to dominate others. If you play with her you might get unique dom scenes with other characters that are not available otherwise.
the idea that the secret route content would be femdom shit is laughable. not unlikely, just hilarious and apropos for their homosexualry.
>secret route
What secret route? Stop talking out of your ass. morono pigu.
nah I just worded that fricked up. I was referring to path based content, as in red prince making liggers kneel and such.
You worded it moronic because you're moronic. What you're talking about are the origin characters and their backstories.
>Astarion vampire shit
>Shadowheart the artifact and Shar
>Gale the magic nuke
>Wyll and his patron
Lae'zel's backstory is more obscure but it has to do something with the githyanki raids and the creches.
yeah that's cool, and red princes backstory was searching for Sadha. but his path content has putting liggers in their place. that the frogs might just be femdom with other companions is a hilarious thought.
Hot
That's not even bg3 moron
NTA but honestly dragon commander is some of their better work in the writing department. You can escape their damned quips but at least it gives you all sides to work with.
Yeah but that's the tone of the setting. It's like complaining about super powers in a super hero setting.
Dragon commander is really the sort of game larian should be making more of because its something they're able to create and write for in a way that suits their talent.
Skinsuiting around an aged intellectual property and attempting to adapt a popular set of rules for it is just inviting criticism.
i suspect it was a survey on their audience the way its designed like a fricking test. And you can tell that the writers never bothered to understand any other political side but their gay communism one, every other option but neolib is comically stupid, not to the level of the klan in rdr2 but close.
dragon commander already showed the signs
actually no, it was straight up, unveiled pozz with how you can ofcourse choose the other option but they dont give any moral justification to a different point of view, you simply choose the "evil" option, which is ofcourse religious conservatism or capitalism.
did they add or improve some faces? I remember the elves, halflings, and gnomes looking terrible
every gnome is either an old man or a baby
>White
>Human
>Male
>Warrior
That's all I need.
Feels good to be an OwlCHAD, knowing there will be no /misc/schizos in our Rogue Trader threads.
I'm so sorry, Larianbros.
It's 40k, they're there they just don't b***h.
This game is a cuckold simulator, people are really paying $60 to have a leftist video game humiliate them when a black NPC steals their in-game girlfriend. How sad.
I hope it doesn't break mods too bad, I'd love some of the character creation stuff to still work. If only the hair ones, there is so many extra hair styles and variations, and the mod that lets you use any face on any character. For some reason we need unique Tiefling, Elf and Human faces instead of making them all available to all races
Probably worth it to wait a few weeks/months for mods to be ported, I agree they're really good. I'm glad that mods were able to work with the recent hair change where hairs work regardless of race
>doesn't break mods too bad
Most basic mods will be easy to reconfigure for the full game. Serious breakage happens only to complex mods. New hair models etc will be easy to adapt to the full version of the game.
How about putting a good game in it?
Are Dragonborn and Goblins confirmed?
Goblins are already in the game.
>dragonborn
What is it with people wanting this gay furry race in the game?
>gay furry race in the game?
It's a Larian game?
Unironically Larian dragons and dragonkin are actually cool. Not a fan of the D&D dragonborn.
I see a lot of pony talk about how there's Dragonborn as a playable race. I didn't know if it was just a rumor or factual.
People*
All PHB races are confirmed, so dragonborn will be in.
Confirmed where?
On Steam
Nice.
>I see a lot of pony talk
so BG3 shills were in fact from /mlp/
Illithid are Magic
/)
July 7th is the final panel livestream. I expect we will see Dragonborn, Half-Orc and Monk demonstrated. I really monk has alot of homebrew to make them fun, otherwise I don't see many people enjoying them
>Goblins are already in the game.
yeah you can kiss male goblin feet
dragons are rad and you only hate beast races because you grew up with everything being a fetish.
Half-dragons were fine. I'm still not buying dragonborns as a necessity and they stick out as an overtly non-human race which makes it more difficult for players to relate to.
>dragons are rad and you only hate beast races because you grew up with everything being a fetish
I actually grew up with SwatCatz, Biker Mice from Mars, Tennage Mutant Ninja Turtles and ThunderCats. D&D Dragonborn are just meh. Maybe Larina will make them better, who knows.
*Larian
I always self insert in games with character creator and you can't stop me
this ain't it
I knew you'd be back, shill
>This ain't it
what did he mean by this, I've been trying to figure it out for months
This is one of the worst RPG's I've ever played. They clearly have a chosen character archetype picked out and just pretend to let you play anything else. The game fricking breaks if you try to do something they don't expect you to do and if they did think of what you want to do and it goes against their plans they just god mode NPCs and have them laugh at you.
I'm all for RPG's with a tight focused role but be up front about it don't fricking act like you will allow all these options when they are just off the table.
Name one example.
I'll give you two.
When you get to the druids their is a kid selling fake magic items as you talk to him another kid tries to steal from you. I caught the kid and was going to kill them for attempting to rob me. The game flatly did not allow this. The kid was god modded and despawned. I could do nothing to them. The kid selling fake magic items laughed at me and then refused to talk to me. If I killed him the guards attacked and did not let me explain that he was part of an attempted robbery and was selling fake magic items.
Secondly I decided to kill the druids because their leader was a little shit. I stealthed and launched a surprise attack. As soon as combat started the leader and her second in command were god modded and dewspawned. I killed what NPC's were left and tried to find the leader. I found her dead in the middle of the tiefling camp and I was not allowed to interact with her corpse. I can only assume that they planned some big show piece fight at that location and it happened while I was in the druids cave. Missing it completely.
>I caught the kid and was going to kill them for attempting to rob me.
What the frick is wrong with you?
>What the frick is wrong with you?
Moralgaygery like this prevents good writing from happening
in setting it's completely normal to kill bandits
>little children are now bandits
Oh, so you're a mentally ill troon that hates children.
you're the one defending these writers lmao
that's a Larian dev? I guess I'll pirate
Children are not special. If anything they are worth less than adults as they do not have skills and abilities.
It's is a bog-standard evil decision you can make in every real ttRPG. If Larian can't even get that right, then things aren't looking good ...
I was playing an evil drow. The kid was a worthless inferior that decided to harm me. The penalty is death.
I killed him to see what would happen since the game gave me no other way to interact with the scene as presented. I was not surprised to see that the game continued to ignore my intent and wants.
Isn't it possible these specific interactions were not yet coded in at the time you played? I'm guessing making sure the kill-the-kid-thief option played out properly wasn't a high priority because most players would not even think of doing that.
but having several different options to lick hairy goblin feet was top priority
because that's what most players would want to do
>but having several different options to lick hairy goblin feet was top priority
Larian knows their audience
As it turns out, handling a hostile party through diplomacy, trickery, subservience or violence is a pretty common scenario. Child murder on the other hand, well you kinda have to dig deep to find people really into that.
>Child murder on the other hand
It's a game...
Child murder is basic evil. Its generic and expected.
It's a little cartoonishly evil. Especially in broad daylight and in play sight of other NPCs and expecting them to just shrug your actions.
>It's a little cartoonishly evil
It's a shame the game doesn't let the player role play as cartoonishly evil
Why is it a shame? It's like you're complaining the game has a plot and you're just not airdropped into some place with a weapon and a desire to beat a kill streak high score.
It's a shame in that the game has offered the player n choices instead of n+1 choices. Shame, really.
There are plenty of RPGs out there that successfully react to the player being a psychopathic murderer
That's what I mean. Its one of the first things people think of when they think "Evil." Its why many games that let you be evil avoid adding in children that you can interact with. Its to avoid people whining that you can kill kids. Just look at Fallout, people could not shut up that the kids were invulnerable.
Either allow it or disallow it but if you disallow it do not pretend like it is an option and do not give the player a reason to want to kill the kid.
You guys are weird.
Evil is many things. The act of taking one's life for his loot/XPs might be perceived as evil and this is what players do in the majority of cRPGs.
You have plenty of such options - killing, stealing, cheating on people, manipulating them. And yet you somehow find it problematic that some specific, edgy form of evil is the standard all "evil included" games should adhere to.
Weird.
I use it as a standard because the ways that the game let you interact with it is already supported. No new systems need to be made. Its not like asking them to create realistic market forces and the systems to take it over and ruin the lives of millions for profit.
> I
Here's where your problem begins.
And ends.
>violence
Which the game fails to simulate
Huh? Every combat is violence, and these games are mostly about combat sequences. You may seek some specific form of violence, to think it's "proper representation", but that's on you.
It's shame the game doesn't simulate that scenario
It does. You may argue whether combat cater to your needs, but you can't say it's not there.
It doesn't. The game is forced to break its own internal rules and make NPCs invulnerable
If you can attack and kill other NPCs, the combat is there. That you can't attack and/or kill some specific NPCs does not un-include the combat out of the game, you know.
A total failure of simulation.
As I said, you can discuss whether it's your cup of tea. But you can't deny its existence.
Since, you know, it's there. It simply doesn't simulate every possibility there is, your idea included.
Similarly, we can't deny the existence of its failures.
We totally can, since plenty of people will accept it as good/sufficient as it is.
It's just you and people sharing your needs that aren't satisfied with it.
But it does not erase it from existence.
"Plenty of people" will always, by definition, be satisfied by merely sufficient. The elect, however, will always attempt to soar to greater heights, as unreasonable as that may seem to lower types
bro you're on Ganker complaining you can't murder a virtual child
you're the furthest thing from elect LMAO
The aforementioned "lower type"
Whether you like it or not, belongs to different discussion.
It's there. You may not like it, but it's there, case closed.
The failure is indeed there.
The aforementioned "failure"
And no failure without the shadow of success, to quote yourself.
Nah. You simply won't acknowledge your mistake and decide to play circular logic here.
Have a good way.
>reality: x degrees of freedom
>simulation: x-1 degrees of freedom
>simulation fails to simulate reality by 1 degree of freedom
It's really that simple.
a lot more people playing video games are ok with murder (in game) than licking feet
you are the weird one here
No they're not. Only the sociopathic minority tries to murder children first things first to check if they're hard coded to be immortal.
>game doesn't let you play as a sociopath
I thought this was an RPG?
Sociopaths tend to be pretty high IQ and manipulative, just devoid of a concern for normal human emotions. They wouldn't rabbit punch a kid trying to pickpocket them, because that doesn't benefit them.
you're thinking of psychopaths, smartass
sociopaths are not particularly intelligent
killing a kid because he pissed you without thinking ahead is exactly the kind of thing a sociopath would do
>Sociopaths tend to be pretty high IQ
This is a myth. Serial killers actually have a below average IQ
I think this conflates serial killers with spree killers.
I could be wrong, but the kinds of people who ritualistically kill without being caught over long timespans are almost required to be 120+ by sheer aptitude/competency alone.
Name a cRPG where you actually have to defecate and keep personal hygiene by default.
Wait, are you trying to tell me that a cRPG is supposed to include things YOU personally like, to be called a cRPG? Daaaaaaaayum.
>defecate and keep personal hygiene
Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
Next question.
> Next question.
Name another cRPG where you actually have to defecate and keep personal hygiene by default.
Wait, are you trying to tell me that a cRPG to be a cPRG has to be Kingdom Come: Deliverance? Daaaaaaaaaaaaayuuuuuuum...
I gave you a game that has those features, it is only fair now that Larian fulfills their side of the bargain
And you asked for another question.
So I'm asking for another title. And I'll ask for another. And then, it might occur to you, that the games that cater to very specific needs and tastes are scarce and few, depending on whom you ask. Which is absolutely wrong to make standards of.
So, another title, if you please.
>violence
>very specific needs
Pick one (1)
I pick both.
> VERY specific kind of violence.
As I already said, violence is there. Evil is there. Just not the kind of violence and evil you search for.
Try to survive this blow to the core of your "self". In the meantime consider not playing the game until someone releases a mod, where you can run around and kill children, which seems to be the golden standard you search in games.
I have similar problem with NPCs or (gasp!) protagonists that I can't strip naked, and I don't play cRPGs until the correct patch is released. It's that easy.
so you want to strip the child npcs naked, but killing them is where you draw the line
You'd have to kill a child first to strip its body naked, Anon. And this is your realm. I definitely don't entertain this kind of activity.
This is rocket science to you?
you're the one who started talking about the necessity of stripping the npcs, this is purely your magical realm
Yes. I find it breaking my immersion where I can't loot dead body off of everything, his or her underwear included.
...but to do that to a child NPC you'd have to slay it first, and this is what you and the likes of you enjoy. For whatever reasons they might be.
"Kill All NPC"-type mods are very popular on the Nexus. Larian just pussied-out here and compromised their own "heckin epic reactivity!" vision. It's that simple. End of.
>Name a cRPG where you actually have to defecate
to defecate or not to defecate
truly deep role playing, homosexual
And your personal hygiene. Why did you focus on shitting? Do you feel personally attacked?
you are the one who focused on shitting when the discussion was about killing people
And personal hygiene.
Why do you avoid it and focus on shitting, instead?
personal hygiene could be a choice
everyone shits, hence there's no possible role playing aspect to it, you moronic monkey
>wasn't a high priority because most players would not even think of doing that.
Watch this rationale extend to every other potential decision in the game.
The game is a handful of months from release and the first act is "completed" as presented.
They can of course add more later but this does not garner hope. It also does not help that the game only pretends to care about your race. I picked a Drow and every NPC spends a paragraph acting like I am literally Hitler but even more evil and then ignore the fact I am a Drow offering to teach me or sell things to me or find their missing grandma.
>and then ignore the fact I am a Drow offering to teach me or sell things to me or find their missing grandma.
Wow massive reactivity
>he killed a kid
>expected the guards to care about stolen shit
Are you brain damaged? This is a rhetorical question. Don't answer to me, moron.
Noob dm putting a hostile creature in front of a player and then getting mad when the player tries to kill it.
If that's what the shills mean when they post that this game captures the essence of dnd then I'll admit this is a good example.
Holy FRICK this is bad. I thought this game was supposed to have the best role-playing mechanics ever?
What is she looking at and why is it making her look like that?
>she
I will make a white, generic looking, human male fighter and you can NOT stop me.
me too, it's almost a ritual for the 1st playthrough. 2nd run is probably a chaotic evil sorcerer.
It's a day 1 pirate for me.
It's on GOG, you'd be moronic to not pirate it since it's DRM Free
>10/10 reactivity, OST and art direction
>one of the shittiest writing in the industry filled with capeshit-tier quippy lines and edgelords OCs
Sure wish Larian would fire their writers and hire competent people
reactivity, OST and art direction
lmao
He is right on those points. The game is a 10/10.
In all seriousness though, he isn't. Level of reactivity can't be determined yet, art-style is generic, and OST is slightly above average.
Yes, I want to play as a Female Gnoll.
me on the right
No beastfolk no buy
Duel classing would be nice
so both Original Sin games got an Enhanced Edition, how long do I have to put Baldur's Gate 3 off once it releases until it gets the Enhanced Edition?
>game doesn't let you play as a timetraveling genius bringing back an assault rifle to kill the baddies
I thought this was an RPG?
>RPG games don't even let you name your character anymore
Where did it all go so, so wrong?
but you can...?
not. Your name will always be Tav.
the kind of moronic shit one has to read on this stupid fricking board holy shit
keep yourself safe
Why do doomposters lie about games they've never played
The game is that good. They have to invent bad things about it.
you can kill innocent people, but you cant kill criminals
it's what you would expect from writers who call themselves the "cuck squad"
Does the game at least let you use non lethal melee attacks?
It does. You can toggle them on and off.
You don't fool anyone, you "like" dice rolls but you just savescum if it doesn't go your way
What's the fricking point then? At least the people playing on Easy are honest with themselves, you think yourself some epic hardcore gamer but you reload your saves all the fricking time and metagame to know exactly what you have to build and how you defeat every enemies
you're just pathetic
Not that Anon, but I don't touch games lacking godmode or trainers.
I find it pointless to waste time attempting to "beat the challenge".
I can't believe this thread ends on a deranged note of would be child murderers complaining you can't brutally murder children. I will now start the ritual to close the thread before further injustice is done
>you can't brutally murder children.
Killing people in games is totally ok but killing children in games turns you into a child murderer?
Yes.
Murdering a child is universally seen as a particularly evil and more loathsome act than murdering an adult, yes.
Games where you're not meant to kill children shouldn't have children in them period.
If there's a killable child in a game and I'm playing an evil character, then I have no choice but to kill children, behead children, polymorph children into animals and beat them to death with clubs.
It's just what my character would do.
Who's more pozzed. Larian or owlcat?
larian 100%
>literal troon in WotR
You lost.
Huh? Whomst are you talking about?
Anevia, troon
>literal twitter screenshots
So....nothing in game? I accept your concession.
the game is literally written by trannies, it's all troony shit in game
>the game is literally written by trannies
>it's all troony shit in game
Nope. Doomposters confirmed to not even know what the frick they're talking about.
Keep living in your schizo headcanon.
Swen won.
Larian won.
Doomposters lost.
the game is literally written by trannies who call themselves "the cuck squad"
you lost your dick, you lost the game, you lost the thread, you lost at life
I dare you to post even one single troony who writes on this game
Go die, little worm less than the dust on my boot. See you next thread, you disgusting shitposter
