Dak'kon bros, not like this...
Dak'kon is dead.
>implying that means anything
Nope. The Nameless One resurrected Dak'kon at the Fortress of Regrets, releasing him from servitude.
He endured, and in endurance he grew strong
Dak'kon was already the perfect githzerai character, it'd be pointless to do another one.
Githzerai are so much cooler than Githyanki god damn. Why do we have to play as the brainless morons
hohol
How quickly can i get rid from the gay vampire and the coon?
The second you meet them.
You can shank any companion you meet if you want, and the tadpoles mean there are benefits from going full Kurgan
except you will get a game over if you do that because you're not allowed to kill them
Except that's not true at all.
That's literally only true for Gale because he's a walking nuclear bomb.
t. genocide runner in early access A1
simply not true
there's litcherally an entire background path that revolves around and forces you to do this
what path?
I dislike the politics the devs have embraced which anyone that's honest can plainly see but you can kill these people upon meeting them, no one is important. Literally just pick Shadowheart, the frog, Minthera and then you're set.
>makes random shit up
>gets upset at it
would be better if you could just choose for them to frick off instead of having to kill everyone you dont want in your party.
>no dwarf
Wait, really? Since meeting my bro Khelgar in NN2, I am simply unable to adventure without a reliable dwarf in my party.
>Khelgar
>monk dwarf
eww
Only if you allow him to make this decision. He is content with staying a warrior after passing his trials.
Larian can't imagine of companion that is not love interest
This game is troony sims game camouflaged behind dnd rpg title
You know, i didn't think about like that, but there really is probably no dwarf, gnome and halfling origin companions because they were afraid of backlash against romance with person that is as tall as a kid.
And they are dead set of having romance with every origin character possible.
Fricking coomers. How did the bear pass is a wonder to me?
Also it's apparently a pain in the ass to readjust all the camera angles and interactive cutscene animations for little people
so they were too lazy/incompetent to do it
>making things up
swen makes a point every interview about how ingenious the cinematic team was in doing just that
I don't understand this argument. Can't you play as a dwarf or a gnome and romance Shadowheart? Or Astarion?
I know that logic doesn't make any sense, but i am serious when i think that Larian was afraid of backlash when pursuing races with small stature, as opposed to playing as one and pursuing some human with added gay filter like long ears or horns.
Then why not just make a dwarf companion who isn't romanceable? Just let them have a husband/wife or make them a widow or a widower or something and have them say they aren't seeking another relationship. Or just make them not interested in romance.
Also why no Half-Orc companion then?
>no Half-Orc companion
They are problematic in modern DnD. Because of RAPE.
>Then why not just make a dwarf companion who isn't romanceable?
Because they are really stubborn about all of them being romance options, so they cut the problematic ones.
Guys I want to make an Eldritch Knight using heavy armour, do you think it's worth putting 14 into dex? looking at the list of heavy armours none have any dex bonus available although apparently EA is lacking in heavy armour at all, more to come at launch I guess. Will any heavy armour have dex bonus do you think?
No. You want heavy armor and magic? There is cleric.
or 1 level in cleric and 11 in wizard
So far 12 seems to be the ideal limit unless you’re going for finesse.
I think half plate gives a +1
Half Plate gives +2 for a maximum of 17 AC. Full Plate gives you 18.
No, having high dex as a fighter isn't really useful unless you're going all in, and even then that's only really useful for very specific builds (ie dual wielding finesse weapons, crossbow with crossbow expert feat or longbow with sharpshooter)
I'm going full Eldritch Knight for release. Since everyone gets a +2 and +1 racial bonus, this is the stat spread you'll want to start with.
Can you even pick defensive Wizard spells on EK? Something like Blur, Mirror Image and so on, would make it unkillable.
>devs complain about players just making humans
>companions are mostly humans
One human, one half Elf, one Gith, one Elf, and a tiefling.
those elves are just humans with slightly different ears
you pulled these numbers outta your ass, Black person
theres 3 humans (Wyll, Gale, Minsc), 2 half-elves (Shadowheart, Jaheira), 2 elves (Halsin, Astarion), 1 drow (Minthara), 1 Gith yankee (Lae'zel) and 1 Tiefling (Karlach).
All but 3 of these are just humans with either pointy or normal ears
>these non humans are humans
Ok
>trying to separate half elves from ordinary elves
Same shit.
Get a drow second act, which is a dark elf. And of course the bear romance guy, who is also an elf, has been confirmed as a companion.Thats 4 elves as options.
Probably some kind of in-joke between high profile RPG writing teams. They're trying to come up with the shittiest parties imaginable you can still sell to your boss and players. Rogue Trader is also suffering from this.
Rogue Trader's party would be fine if they let me romance the fricking SoB already.
>romance the fricking SoB
You are not cucking God-Emperor any time soon, pal.
Not how it works, secondary.
Best Rogue build?
>dwarf
ugly
>gnome
ugly
>halfling
ugly
>goblin
ugly
>dragonborn
I'll give you this one
>half-orc
ugly
>all the current companions
ugly
So what was your argument, exactly?
ugly things are unwanted
And I don't want any of the homosexual, ugly, fanfic-tier companions Larian have shit out.
So we're in agreement and you have no argument.
can you just make your own companions? i don't like any of the characters i've seen in this game
no, no fully customizable party in BG3
there are 14 merc characters you can recruit but they're preset
I'm kinda amazed by the level of larian incompetence lately
I thought you could customize them once you got them, they just come premade to begin with.
The hirelings are fully respeccable, race and appearance included.
Can you provide a source on this? I haven't seen that info and this is the one thing that's really bothering me about the game. If you actually can respec their appearances that would be a huge relief for me.
The last Larian update on Steam.
You WILL admit our LGBT+ companions into your party and you WILL like it, chud
>What went wrong?
They had to have the token black, please understand.
Where is he from? Amn? Or is he just black without any explanation?
Straight out of Compton.
Africa
>no dwarven warlock
frick Black folk
So is that confirmed it for all companions? It's definitely confirmed to be done for origin characters but Halsin and Minthara aren't origin characters so could there theoretically be more party members? Because we're still missing a monk, bard, and sorcerer
There’s Minsc and Jaheira and allegedly two more they’re keeping secret
Wait, wasn't that the same company that complained about "human male warrior" being the most popular choice?
Meanwhile their NPCs are the same garbage tier of "diversity".
*white* human male warrior
if it was black they would have shut the frick up
They changed the Humans to default to blacks.
>that complained
They made a joke. Ganker just wants to be offended
>They made a joke.
you clearly didnt see what they said
So I adjusted my character from the last thread. Some anon was saying that I needed WIS, but as best as I can tell that has nothing to do with Warlock, it's really only helpful for saves. They also said that I had two useless spells, I am assuming one is Mage Hand but I don't know what the other would be. Also, is it accurate that Dex is needed for hitting with Eldritch Blast? It doesn't say anything about that in the description, but I don't know anything about 5th ed.
I wonder if eldritch warlocks will have tentacles in their sex scenes.
Why do you care about any of this shit?
It's a WEG dude... you start it up, jerk to the sex scenes and quit out again. It literally doesn't matter.
moron
Why wouldn't anon care? Long ass game it's worth getting invested in your character. You only care about video game sex scenes because you're a loser who does not frick veganas with his penis.
You might as well switch out your spells with utility spells. The warlock cantrip (eldrich blast I think it'd called?) Is OP and scales with your level. Just blast mother frickers with EB infinite times
Forgot to mention warlocks use charisma as thier spell stat, wisdom isn't that useful unless your class requires it as far as I can tell
>I'mma play this 80 hour game and spam the same attack the whole time
sounds real fun
I think the idea is to use the other spells slots for more varied combat options rather than looking for spells that only produce bigger damage numbers.
Arguably the utility spells would had more interesting opportunities.
this is literally the problem with DND 5e. Frickers made Eldritch Blast scale off level and there's zero reason to use anything else. Hell, you don't even need to continue leveling Warlock if you don't want to. Since 5e was catered to the lowest IQ, people don't seem to mind it. Watching every mary sue come up with a reasoning why their sorcerer or Paladin took a 1 (or 3, for other reasons) level dip in Warlock is mind numbing
Your stats are fine, mage hand is fine, I don't know the spells by their icon but you typically want spells that scale well with higher spell slots. Armor of agythys is a common recommendation, but you do you. You don't need dex for landing eldritch blast, it scales with charisma. Dex is good to have though because it increases your armor class and initiative, and dex skills.
That build is solid. Only change I would make would be to replace Witch Bolt with a utility or buff spell.
>They also said that I had two useless spells, I am assuming one is Mage Hand but I don't know what the other would be.
Don't listen to minmax autists, this is a piss easy game beatable with any build and even solo. Mage Hand is fun and let's you be creative with interactable objects, way more fun then just spamming Eldritch Blast all the time like a bot.
It's a game made by coomers, for coomers, and they don't want to frick the small races or monster races so they're ignored
yea, this game is basically not disguised writes fetish
but unlike cool jap fetishes like milfs and tomboy it's full of shit western fetishes like bestiality and cuckolding kek
>and they don't want to frick the small races or monster races
>Implying coomers don't want to frick goblins
But you can play as a dwarf and romance other people
YOU can do that, but the characters THEY made are all coomerslop
The giths are biologically the same right? They'll probably have a possible path to have Lae'zel go screw it with her current mindset and go for the more githzerai style
Yes, they can interbreed with humans.
Githzerai are Gith wizards and Githyanki are Gith fighters. They're totally not the same. Moreover, they have an eternal grudge going on. I will only play them once Githzerai mod comes out.
As a coomer, I want to frick the monster races, and I feel severely underrepresented by Larian.
>no gobbo girls to fug
>no half orc girls to bang
>no dragonborn gals to breed
I am severely disappointed with Larian....But we got gay bear sex!
The frick are they doing at larian?!
someone redpill me on oathbreaker because it sounds kino
You're a paladin that broke his oath in favor for some other power and gain unholy powers instead of holy ones
Basically an "evil paladin"
so do you end up having both or do you trade your holy powers for unholy ones?
The latter.
Genuine question, can I mod Black folk out this game?
Probably, the things is, no big site will host such based mod.
You can make your own website based-mods.com for $5 and host it via torrent
there's seriously only TWO female companions? and one of them is some weird monster thing with an ugly nose?
No. There are also demon girl and granny Jaheira. Oh, and fricking drow b***h.
>no dwarf, gnome, halfling, goblin, dragonborn, or half-orc companion
Are you a paedophile?
are you a pseud-ophile?
OG Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2 both had dwarf companions, BG2's dwarf companion was also one of the best companions in the whole game
>Nae speak that vile tongue to me, blackskin. If it moves, I've killed it, but if it be drow, I've tortured it fer days first.
He was too fricking based.
Hes gonna join us after we free him from the drow rape pit hes been stuck in for the last couple decades and will mog every other companion in the game
Yeah we needed at least
>one human female
>one short race rep
>one dragonborn
>one half orc
Then have on of each be
>monk
>sorcerer
>bard
>any class, maybe they have no class and you pick for them as a twist or something
And have them all be flawed, but not as evil as the party members in EA. Then we'd be good.
I might want to make a cleric for the first time ever in a D&D or D&D adjacent game. I assume they're good in 5e like they were in every other edition?
How are they as nukers? Melee?
How does Two Weapon Fighting stack up against Great Weapons for Barbarians? I'm assuming TWF is better because of the extra dex to AC being to good for a class that doesn't use armor.
If you go berserker then TWF is detrimental to barb because the extra attack from berserk uses your bonus action.
twf usually sucks, it's better to do big, meaty hits that can beat damage reductions than one shitty bonus attack.
I didn't consider that. Seems kind of lame but I'm not too fussed either way I guess. Great weapons it is.
Two Weapon Fighting barb isn't gonna do as meaty hits as GWF, but you're right in that you'll wind up with way better AC. Plus, Wildheart is solid if you want to be tanky too since Bear will give you resistance to all damage types except psychic.
You'll just be more of a defender than a striker, but barb is barb so you'll still do solid damage.
AC often doesn't mean much on barb because you're gonna be reckless attacking all the time unless you're fighting something with damage you don't resist from raging.
The characters are so boring. I don't get the hype. Other than the fact wrpg fans have literally nothing else to play.
>Managed to die in the tutorial room
I still can't take that green girl thing seriously
that nose... it looks like it was built by a troll player
>devs complain about how most MCs are generic humans
>nearly all the companions are... generic humans in a fantasy game with dragon people and dwarves
Lol. Lmao even.
I know right? No gnome, halfling, dwarf, drow, lizard, orc,etc. Just human, human with pointy ears, green human with pointy ears, black human,etc.
Could have at least given us short fat human.
Why did Larian say the Dark Urge is the last Origin character, when he isn't actually an Origin character? You can't recruit him. He's more of a backstory
>larian added a playabe drow race
>but didnt add a day/night cycle
it's not like the drows have any racial drawbacks so it wouldnt make any difference
and day/night cycles are hard to program, like ladders
>and day/night cycles are hard to program
even jrpgs can do it, so frick off with that bullshit
To be fair in jrpgs it day and night cycle doesn't affect anything. In BG3 it would mean adding a schedule for hundreds of npcs, having a bed for each one, adding thousands of dialogues specific for waking npc up, taking with them in different places, etc. It would mean player would miss some stuff exploring map at a wrong time. Saying simple games had it therefore it would be as easy to add in complex game is simply not true.
>we didnt add something so basic like a day/night cycle because.... because..... that would need work, ok? now piss off, we are busy recording 10,000 hours of cringe cutscenes
jesus fricking christ, not having a day/night cycle in such a game has to be the biggest fricking cringe of this decade.
>The day will last forever! "megalomanical laughter of suddenly mad Lathander"
Would be a cool premise.
>and night cycle doesn't affect anything
It effects a lot in the Dragon Quest games that have it
Dude, did that ladder comment not betray that he is fricking around?
if bethesdaslops can have then I'm sure they could have pulled something in the year of the clown 2023 if they truly wanted
Black person pokemon crystal had a day night cycle and kept track of the real world time to use it on a GBC. have a nice day
>its ok a game in the year of our lord 2020+3 doesnt have something so motherfricking basic as a god damn day/night cycle
>in an RPG that has races specifically tailored to live at night and avoid the day
please just have a nice day.
>and day/night cycles are hard to program
is this Black person serious?
There are plenty of reasonable hills to die on but you unironically picked not including day/night cycle in an RPG. Hang your head in shame.
who cares about day/night cycle why tf are people acting like it matters when a whole game mechanic is about skippin gthe night (long rest)
You can make custom companions moron
Yeah the party members are the most disappointing part of the game so far, they could've at least had 1 party member for every class. I have no idea why the frick we have 2 druid companions, makes zero sense
There's halsin who else is a druid
Jaheira
is this true?
I haven't noticed any wokeness to be honest. You can frick the characters no matter what sex you are, So basically it can be a gay sex simulator or a straight white male sim depending on who's playing
Didn't they totally frick up the Human subraces in the game? Hell are Moon Elves/Sun Elves in the game? Shield Elves/Gold Dwarves?
Seems pretty woke.
>Hell are Moon Elves/Sun Elves in the game? Shield Elves/Gold Dwarves?
Seems pretty woke.
Gold dwarves are forsure, the rest I don't think so
>Didn't they totally frick up the Human subraces in the game?
How do you fricking something completely irrelevant to the system and the lore? Human subraces never mattered in D&D, vast majority of players don't even realize it's a thing.
also it seems that on an advertisement video(?) they decided to show some gay sex, only saw the comment somewhere but dunno exactly what happened
in short, they most definitely keep those abominations in mind first and foremost
Did someone explain to them that the Sword Coast is not California?
The PR karens didn't get the memo still, even after all these years, and so they actually believe that twitter/reddit = real world.
Why can't Wizards and Hasbro just create a separate setting for all that? Or, I don't know, repurpose Eberon for it? Just don't rape Faerun even more. I'm still mad about the spell plague.
>Why can't Wizards and Hasbro just create a separate setting for all that?
And then there's the ESG score and blackrock's/vanguard circumcised dicks threatening their rears if they don't play accordingly
Which is also why CD red project decided to sell their souls to the devil
ACTUALLY
Baldur's Gate is one of the FEW places which is multicultural having Chondathans, Calishites, Tethyrians, Northmen, Gur, Shou, Turmish etc all in the city
Shame NONE of these ethnicities exist in the game and everyone is just random shades of brown with no cohesion
>Gur aren't in BG3
Black personbrained post.
Show me where you can select your human ethnicity in the game.
I remember that it accepted refugees during the Spell Plague, thank you very much. But I don't believe it would create a universal culture, just a bunch of ghettos in the city.
>But I don't believe it would create a universal culture, just a bunch of ghettos in the city.
The Upper City is a tethyrian blue blood breed, the lower city is Northmen, Chondathan etc, the outer walls have Gur and there are walled enclaves with Distinct Enclaves like Little Calimshan
>Its the hub between South and North Faerun
No? It's the gate to the Aztec place/Pagan Americans.
Amn? yeah, that's literally the start of South Faerun
>Amn
No, I mean the Aztec place
don't remind me that Forgotten Realms is just the usual "what if real world but different"
Sorry
top kek
The FUNNIEST thing is how Greenwood tried to say there are no 1:1 cultural groups despite the fricking Gur being 1:1 Romani
this anon is right. Do you even recall why its called Baldur's "GATE"? Its the hub between South and North Faerun. You wanna get to and from the Jungle of Chult (Africa)? You go to Baldur's Gate.
>Did someone explain to them that the Sword Coast is not California?
It's actually way more degenerate and promiscuous than California. You would know if you ever read source material by the setting creator, Ed Greenwood instead of being a tourist fishing for outrage.
http://candlekeep.com/library/articles/sse/so_saith_ed.htm
Ed Greenwood is a based degenerate who somehow got his personal magical realm to be the most popular table top role playing setting in all the world.
They hired some dev from Warhorse who posts on codex and has some funny opinions that would make a lot of western leftists mad so i do not think so.
>Game: Sex is a social construct, no ethnicities allowed, lore is second to virtue signalling

there won't be much room for multiclassing like wotr..
>I hear the max level is 12? is that right?
Yes, it's nothingburger from spell level perspective
That's.. really low. I know dnd is different and levels have more meaning but.. at least during ea by the time I entered the undersomething I was already 5 and that is what? mid chapter 1?
not liking it
Gotta make room for the DLC
The game's diversity is highly illogical. Captain, steer clear of this planet of the apes.
Do these people even know wtf they are talking about?
Woke at this point has no fricking meaning anymore.
I'm ready to enter the 'everything is woke' overreaction stage of society
We've been in the 'everything is racist, misogynist, bigoted white supremacy' overreaction stage for far too fricking long
Are there gonna be monk changes?
They did buff monks and in a video I saw one of the devs was basically gushing when describing it
All we can do is pray that there are more companions they have not revealed yet, my fellow shortstack chads
woman, niger, gay, gipsy, mutant
oh well
>mutant
A sexy mutant whose ancestors were shaped by based mind flayers into being tasty and sexy.
Does disadvantage/advantage stack in this game and whatever is highest wins out like in Solasta, or is it like tabletop where any amount of either just fully cancels each other out?
miss me yet?
Nah, you were fricking boring and did nothing, same with Ifan.

I did! My 3.5 books are still in good condition, after all.
I really like Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights.
I just don't like sexual identity politics being pushed in my VIDEO GAME and the complete destruction of lore friendliness (canon subraces especially Human) being fricked with
Still not buying woke shit
>woke game
Yes, it is. In the sense that the underline (good) morality it tries to paint aligns with what said ideology considers good.
Sure, you can go murderhobo and abuse everything and everyone and you can ignore the gay sex, but I'd love to see if the freaks in social media would say that "it's just a game bro" or "just ignore bro" if a paladin could kill a homosexual and the game considered that the "good/moral" option.
>tfw you are so detached from the real world you consider killing someone because he likes sucking dick seems like a valid, defendable moral view
>detached from the real world
>real world
natural law is what defines and sustains the real world
and this is the problem, right here. PR teams still think these freaks define reality.
>schizo nonsense about the definition of reality
Okay
Sodomy is a sin.
I can't think of a SINGLE Faerun god thinking sodomy is good, it is purely a demonic thing.
>SINGLE Faerun god thinking sodomy is good
Well, Cyric is a giant homosexual. Does it count?
You really think BG3 is set in Judea? Abrahamic law does apply here.
>Abrahamic law does apply here

>religion
>thinking homosexuality/sodomy is good
>in any capacity
Yes, the paladins of vengeance would absolutely smite you for being gay and get inspiration for it.
Yep it's total auto death if you kill the vampire gay. The game literally takes away your spell slots everyday until you resurrect him. Woke trash
No, it doesn't. You can kill every companion.
yeah the pedos who lash out against this game are fricking disgusting, it's funny how the "iT's ZoOpHiLiA" morons always mention pedoshit, freudian slip.
I remember times when romance between a teenage girl and an adult man was a non-issue in fantasy. Now it is pedophilia, somehow.
>pedo trannies call people pedos for not liking their woke trash
this game's fanbase seems to attract some absolute vide degenerates, hmmm, I wonder why people don't like it
you for the androgynous "female" characters and homosexual vampire
>homosexual vampire
Can I, at least, insult him for being a sodomite?
>Can I, at least, insult him for being a sodomite?
Don't you dare, he's the only cool character in this godforsaken game
I`m so tired of this shit. I just want the most classic ragtag of adventurers and plot at this point.
Sorry Chud classical fantasy that literally everyone yearns for is le hecking racist. Now embrace the anti-white narrative.
Play as an Asian elf
This shit is so idiotic, he is a drow, that's the elf version of a "race", how the frick is he a specific human race on top of that? This is the absolute worst part of the wokeness in fantasy, I don't care about the trannies or bears or gays, this kills the setting
These people don't give a frick. They just tick off boxes, most of their bullshit doesn't even have internal consistency. They need muh human racial diversity across all of these fantasy races. At the same time, Gypsies had their own human variant in Ravenloft, but that was offensive to white American libshits so now any race can be Vistani and there is no "Romani" representation anymore (in fact, now any race can essentially appropriate Romani culture, just never use the word Gypsy because it is offensive to homosexuals who have nothing to do with them).
is there a practical benefit to razing the druid camp other than drow pussy
Destroying Druids always increases the corruption of the land from magical pollution, to demons, orcs & goblinkin or primal spirits retaliating onto mankind.
Best to let them die out as they don't reproduce.
If you're picking between the goblins and druids the goblins have better vendors. But my issue with the whole druid vs goblin situation is that it isn't even that big of a quest. Sure it's the largest in act 1 but not by much. There's the lost shipment quest that leads to a large fight and then a huge hidden cave hideout etc etc. Then there's the forge, the swamp and so on. Overall it's a interesting dilemma but you really don't even need to care about what happens to either side.
Infact when I thought my PC was on a rest based time limit following the logical motivations of someone who's thinks they will die soon without a cure I didn't resolve the dispute and got the information about moonrise from the most logical sources.
Devs said that you'll see results of your decisions in future acts. So I guess that you'll meet survived characters in Baldurs gate.
drow pussy is pretty practical
can I roleplay as Ben Garrison in this game?
No, the moral system is only
>Californian (Great Satan)
OR
>Cartoonishly evil
>Cartoonishly evil
so ben garrison
Is sex with any of these companions mandatory for the game's story progression? I want to roleplay as a turboautist fighter who enjoys bathing in the blood of his enemies...
I've been steering clear of this game and now that I've looked at some footage I'm not impressed. There's some really weird uncanny valley shit going on with the characters and I wonder if everyone shilling the game has a weird sunk cost stockholm syndrome thing going on. It's a really fricking ugly game, like worse than Bioware's flops.
Gameplay wise I assume it's just Divinity OS2 with nuD&D's lame ruleset. And since Larian is in charge I have no hope for a good story. I don't get the appeal.
Sort of feel the same, there is this weird shill astroturf vibe I get from all the threads here, where they focus on "lol so randumb" shit like bear sex to deflect from actual issues with the game. Also the token black being pushed is way more annoying than the bear thing, and the fact that isn't the complaints makes me believe its just shills trying to steer the conversations in a certain direction.
mods figured out these are bot threads and started deleting most of them.
posts inside these BG3 threads look like conversations between NPC's in oblivion or GTA.
im pretty sure there are a few larian employees here, too, judging by their fervent, almost fanatical reaction to people asking uncomfortable questions about it.
Glad I'm not the only one who recognizes it. Nobody here could give a shit about a bear (in fact many probably would be into it) but the Black person being one of the faces of the game is a joke. But Larian employees can't joke about that, because it would lead to uncomfortable conversations.
Holy fricking meds

Yeah, I wonder what's the appeal. Even if story is going to be complete garbage it still going to be a great game just for combat and exploring.
>no loading screens
there's a loading screen literally every time you camp
?t=4793
Why do you lie when it's so easy to prove that you are wrong?
How about you play the game instead of posting edited gameplay, tardo?
I played it, how about you show me a loading screen? Camp literally exists on the same scene as any cave or dungeon. https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness
I showed you 2 proofs, can you show me at least something, tardo?
>No wheelchair in character creation
How am I supposed to play as a jouster without my faithful man-made steed? Dropped

So what's the point of magic then
WotC are just mentally ill social warriors
You can have your party's wizard/sorcerer use Mage's Hand to push you forward for more speed. Your combat wheelchair which is of course spiked and fortified can hold you while you use your magic lance and penetrate your enemy. You'll be a juggernaut!
>magic is common
>people are still black for some reason
Dropped. Everyone knows they'd transmute thier skin
Turmish are african-american but not joggers, they are civilised black people. They live in their own (slightly weak) ethnostate but trade and work with white people.
Reminds me of that star trek moments where some morons wrote that adding disabled people in the universe is important for the whole inclusion shit, even though in star trek universe they have means of curing that shit pretty much asap.
Hilarious shit. Choosing to not being able to walk and wearing that as some fricking badge.
I really dislike taking away alignment and class attribute bonuses/cons. Although I dislike the effective level system of 3.5 races should have huge and stark differences. Playing within the rules and lore of a fantasy setting is part of respecting it and adds to the believability of the world. If everyone can be the best at everything races become next to meaningless and just cosmetic. Their culture as well and depth should be reflected in more ways than just how they look.
WotC hates racial differences, if they had their way there would only be humans (no subrace).
Well they're trying to appeal to people who want to build strong characters without sacrificing their preferences on race and class. I mean I think dwarfs are really lame as the main PC but it is almost impossible to justify playing anything else as a barbarian. But I'd take that and 100 times worse rather than what we have now where a gnome is as strong as an orc (despite their clear physical differences and even cultural differences). Everything is a mixed paste that all tastes the same. Another sad thing is that there's still the fact that the races I don't want to play as are not objectively the best due to their lame proficiencies.
D&D has no room for that shit though.
You pick a character and go through their story.
Play a different system for minmaxing
Everyone was created equally, chud.
Only it is DnD and they were not. Different races have different creators.
yeaahh uhh.. no
You lived to see a fascist israelite. To be fair, they were a thing back in 1940, it's just that to be so brazen about it is kinda weird.
Where did all the /misc/shit come from? I thought it was disappointing that there was no dragonborn or sorcerer companion and now I'm seeing random whining about ESG which has literally nothing to do with this game. I'm trying to actually talk about video games and you bring up this random shit you autismos
>whining about ESG which has literally nothing to do with this game
uhh.. ppl complaining about lore changes/etc and others pointing out as to why these are happening/happened seems pretty relevant to the game in question

>Your companions
>Brought to you by the people seething about players creating standard human characters
Why are they like this? Is it just zero self-awareness? It would be funny if it wasn't so fricking sad. But as they have already shown, it was never actually about horns or tails or any of that shit, but specifically that it was a straight white male character, because in their book being gay or black is already diverse as all get-out even if in fantasy world where fricking dragons and goblins exist.
>it was never actually about horns or tails or any of that shit, but specifically that it was a straight white male character
of course, sane people knew this from the moment that post was dropped

They made a cute snarky blogpost, they didn't "seethe" at anything
>cute snarky
Oh, please. They were raging that their audience (95 percent white men) doesn't want to play as Black folks and other freaks.
>they didn't "seethe" at anything

Debating starting either as barb, ranger or spore druid but dont want to overlap with based companions
You can respec your companions, no biggie
yeah but wont it break some lore? isnt shadowcutie supposed to be cleric, making her a plate warrior wont make much sense?
>barb
The demon b***h (Kar something) is a barb, the green frog woman is a fighter. Everyone else is a caster

I can't wait to create a half-orc and ravage shadowanus with my holy wiener. Will uninstall the game afterward.

that sounds like a dick move. perfect
>rouge thief
>deep gnome
gayman time
Black person troony homosexual game
Short races are pointless filler, literally no one likes them or plays as them. Lack of a half-orc does suck, though.
There is one advantage to not liking the companions though and that`s total freedom. If they approve and follow good, if they try to contest or leave you just kill them.
>githyanki but no githzerai
This one bothers me. The githyanki are the Black folk of the Gith. Why do I have to play as one of them if I want to be a psychic frog.
Expansions later maybe?
Basically my main issue with the game.
Why are your companion options so trash?
>4 elves
>2 humans
>1 Gith
>1 tiefling
And rumored 2 yet named companions. Guaranteed at least one of them will be another human. Where the frick is the variety?
Why is half the options fricking elves?...
Not having at least one dwarf in a fantasy game is criminal.
>Why is half the options fricking elves?...
First time in BG?
live out your fetish somewhere else, everyone with a normal penis wants human and elf companions and that's exactly what we are getting
I know they likely avoided smaller races as companions due to romances, but am I able to make an ugly gnome as my mc and get drow pussy?
Surprisingly yes.
If that was really their excuse it's a shitty one, they don't have to make every single companion romanceable and even so, what are they going to do if the MC is a dwarf and romances a half-elf?
all the companions are insufferable. the mage is the worst one and you cant even kill him
OH BUT YOU gayS LOOOOOOVE BALDUR'S GATE 2
YOU REMEMBER WHO THE PARTY MEMBERS IN THAT GAME FRICKING WERE?
>Imoen: Human
>Minsc: Human
>Edwin: Human
>Jaheira: Half-Elf
>Viconia: Elf
>Aerie: Elf
>Keldorn: Human
>Anomen: Human
>Cernd: Human
>Nalia: Human
>Valygar: Human
>Yoshimo: Human
>Haer'dalis: Tiefling
>Mazzy: Halfling
>Jan: Gnome
>Korgan: Dwarf
OOOOOOOH WHAT AMAZING VARIETY TRULY THE GREATEST CRPG EVER MADE GO FRICK YOURSELVES YOU FRICKING moronS
and the one tiefling looks exactly like an elf:
Remember when tieflings had some subtlety and could almost pass as normal humans?
Instead of just outright looking like demons
Completely dependent on their ancestry. Ones born from rakshasas are basically cat girls/boys, for example.
That's still not very subtle
You're undermining your own argument. BG 2 had short races as companions. BG 3 does not.
Go frick yourselves, you homosexuals would be shitposting nonstop about the game having no variety and 12 fricking party member slots going to humans and elves.
That's an interesting reaction to being wrong
That's a lot of projection, lad.
>Mazzy: Halfling
>Jan: Gnome
>Korgan: Dwarf
So there were gnome, halfling and dwarven companions, got it
>there mostly humans in a setting predominantly populated by humans
Whoa. And despite that you still had a dwarf, elves, a half-elf, a tiefling, a drow, a gnome and a halfling.
>all those different ethnicities
>human
>half-elf
>elf
What a terrible analysis.
Baldur's Gate 2 had clear ethnicities and ancestries instead of American mutts.
No one's arguing that there has to be an equal number of dwarven companions to human companions or whatever the argument is there should be more nonhuman reps which BG2 had
ive never played baldurs gate 1 or 2, why is minsc so popular that he's the only one being brought back?
They brought back Jaheira too
But because he's a quirky meme character
And the BG2 devs just forced everyone to have canonically had the most popular party from 1, which was stupid and didn't make sense for evil characters
He has good stats, he's funny and good-natured.
hijacking thread because I couldn't find a pathfinder thread
wotr is on sale, does anyone know if all the dlcs are out and the game is complete or is there more planned? Thanks loves
There’s a humble bundle that includes all Baldurs Gate games and WotR for $12 if you’re interested. DLC for WotR sold separately, but it looks like you can get it as two season passes
Thanks for the recommendation but I've already got the previous BG games, looking to buy wotr on sale but only if it's complete. Cheers
>4 out of 5 origin characters are humans
Very creative.
This is for lore reasons. Illithids never use short races for transformation.
So why does every companion have to be closely tied to the main plot?
I don't fricking know! Ask Swen.
It was a rhetorical question because I already know the answer to be 'hack writing'
i mean what about non-origin companions
also what about the fact that the PC can just be whatever race
Correct. Maybe they will explain it somehow in later acts.
Hope I can eventually become a halfling Mindflayer with a giant squid head.
>Illithids never use short races for transformation
...Unless your own character is one.
That's another bad excuse then, because they don't need to have every companion directly tied to the Illithid in the same way you are. They could just ave a dwarf who is investigating the Illithid that you encounter who eventually joins your party (in fact, the fact that he's a dwarf is part of the reason why he is more willing to risk it, because the Illithid show no interest in him)
>show no interest in him
They will still eat his brains just fine. Just no tadpole for him.
Point still stands then, he could just be someone who isn't tadpoled
Also that makes no sense, what if you choose to make the MC a dwarf? Dwarves are a playable race
>because they don't need to have every companion directly tied to the Illithid in the same way you are
But...my le quirky party???
I don't think Halsin got tadpoled, yet he's a party member? So that makes no sense
I agree that it's just shitty writing. Even fricking WotR had better companions and i couldn't stand most of them.
BG3 needs more like Regill/Greybor companions, but they won't do them because every male character is female/gay pandering
Even fricking DOS2 had better male companions
Remember Baldur's Gate II where only Imoen was directly tied to the Bhaal stuff and everyone else just fit into your party because of intersecting interests?
They REALLY want you to use their coomer characters
It's 2 out of 6 origin and 3 out of 10 total.
How are rangers as front line fighters in 5e? Can Minsc still be an armored warrior with a big fricking sword? Because I remember 3e Rangers being forced to wear light armor and they had less health.
I think there is one type of ranger that can wear heavy armor. But you can tank even without it, you just need to have a 14 dex so you get mac AC bonus in medium armor. Personally I wouldn't be playing ranger when I can be berserk and throw people while screaming in rage or go paladin and smite everyone while wearing heavy armor.
why do they always make more male companions than female companions?
anon, its half each
4 is female?
yes, though i can see the confusion, particularly in that image
>Drow Paladin
The new paladin rules are garbage.
>waifu drow paladin
I will now play your gaem
so who is the main character supose to be? there are casters, fighters, tanks already. 2 druids.
CHA character is a good choice - sorc, bard and paladin. But since you can have only 3 companions you can pick pretty much anyone.
>the only martial classes (except lolminsc) are females, the men have to be wizards, rogues and druids because male fighters are too masculine
Yeah, that's my main issue with characters. I can already imagine liberal writers trying to subvert gender norms.
>shills blatantly lying
hate you morons
yeah not a single short person race , no dwarves, halflings
do they even have a single elf?
Yeah, a gay one.
short people are le bad, thank peter dinklage for speaking out, demanding fair dwarf rights for this situation...
Remember when they didn't let you romance the cute dwarf scout in DAI because Gaider said it was pedophilia?
Jokes on them, I made a female noble dwarf with beard and flirt on Alistair because I wanted to end up rule both humans and dwarves
I was talking about Inquisition, not Origins. DAO was based, you could go to the brother and frick any b***h you want. You could also frick two dwarf girls in the Dwarf Noble origin and get one of them pregnant. Oh, and I loved cucking the elf boy in the Dalish camp by fricking his oneitis.
seek help anon
Astarion, Halsin, Jaheira. Minhara is drow and Shadowheart is half elf.
>hope at least the hirelings will give us some variety
>nope
>mostly all human and elves
Can we at least change their fricking races, because it doesn't sound like we can.
It would be easy to change or mod these.
Can you just make your own custom hirelings? These are terrible.
No
Why
Even Pillars of Eternity let you do this. It wouldn't be hard to implement either
Oh boy, I can't wait to use the they/them half orc paladin who teaches etiquette to ogres, or maybe Sir Fuzzalump
Does look like it.
Sounds like you can change their class, but not their race.
Which fricking sucks.
Mods will fix it. And then will be deleted from Nexus for racism.
where does one find such mods then? asking for a friend..
Nexus. Check out this demon wife, for example: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/508
https://rentry.org/Non-NewtonianMods
the 4 character party limit is a dealbreaker for me. I was already annoyed over twenty years ago when I was playing Balders Gate and I had a limit of 6 party members. If you have a dozen party members in the game let me take every fricker I want into the dungeon.
>Muh balance
frick off.
ME AXE BE BLOODY READY
I'm beyond dissappointed at the lack of dworfs.. Let's hope that atleast Korgan makes an appearance in the game
what is objectively the most fun class to play? shit that is just unique, for example pathfinder wotr was super unique, turning companions undead, turning your pet undead, grantign them special skills etc.
Also does shit like archers get abilities like divinity 2 or is it just basic attacks
>larian adds playable Drow race to BG3

shazamtroons are harping on the day night cycle because its literally the only thing you can complain about (if you leave out why) you fricking tool

Won't buy unless they make an update and add picrel as a playable option. Wheelchair Jouster Fighter/Paladin option
If the game doesn't have combat wheelchairs we need to boycott it for being ableist
Imagine a spiked, fortified and magically enhanced combat wheelchair
too many homosexuals complaining when the fact is, if there was shortstacks nobody would play or use them because looking at a dwarf or gnome ruin how that cool gear you found looks SUCKS
>if there was shortstacks nobody would play or use them because looking at a dwarf or gnome ruin how that cool gear you found looks SUCKS
I am comfortable saying that it is literally only you who feels this way
you would be confidently wrong, nobody actually plays shortstacks its all humans and elves, mostly drow because they are cooler, sorry to burst your gay short bubble idiot
imagine thinking drow are cooler than dwarves
My friend will be my dwarf companion 🙂
what use does this spell have?
if your party members dont have darkvison it will negate a shitload of disadvantaged rolls in combat when your target isn't standing in the light
It creates wisps of light that illuminate a 9m radius.
Stick a magic torch on an enemy so that they can't go into darkness to avoid attacks.
Illuminate an area ahead of you without revealing your location if hiding in darkness. Can be used for ranged characters hiding in the dark who don't want disadvantage against another enemy in the dark.

Should I leave Lazael as a pure fighter or multiclass her? I'm guessing she's better off left as a fighter for extra attacks but part of me wonders if I should give her thief levels for picking locks if I end up killing Astarion for trying to drink me, or perhaps Barbarian just because it seems so effective.
>Should I leave Lazael as a pure fighter or multiclass her?

I don't get it. We just needed 1 dwarf, 1 dragonborn, and 1 half-orc and that would've made the party much more colorful
The party is too colorful, because the colors are bright and garish and gay
short races, half orcs and dragonborn would have been better colors than tieflings and drow and gith but they don't have enough coomer value for 'ol' Larian
>dragonborn
>don't have enough coomer value
????????????????????????????
i'd happily be cucked by a big lizard
>i'd happily be cucked by a big lizard
I'm sure you would anon, but Larian prefers to coom to elves and humans and tieflings and bears
but I do believe there is SOME cucking in the game
and if you happen to have a thing for worshipping goblin feet, you're in luck! That fetish DID make the cut
we need some mumbling idiot monk, dwarf or half orc
small indie studio
please understand
Okay, a serious question for a change. Is monk any good?
In tabletop no, Monk is shit
In this game I dunno, I heard they tried adding some homebrew to him to make him much better
nobody is leaking shit so we dont know
i'll play him anyway
>No silly enough fantasy races
Who cares?
Why should charisma determine how effective i am as a celestial emissary of an outer god? Was Randolph Carter, or Faust a charismatic gigachad vs wis/int? That makes no sense and is the lorebreaking reason I will not by your game.
>Randolph Carter
He was charismatic enough to receive a personal audience with the living manifestation of reality.
carter, faust and everyone else in the trope get their through reeding and autistic obsessive NEET study. contacting and outer god is ALWAYS the result of just being a wizard, but going on the normal bounds of what is acceptable, it is to wizard as wizard is to fighter.
there are zero examples in fantasy or higher tier Ganker of someone who is fun at parties being picked by nyarlathotep. the enitre genere/trope is a cautionary tale about delving too deep into knowledge best left forgotten/ overintellectualizing.
fitting that D&D which can't write passable lore to save its life should not realize that and frick it up with, "dude squidward"
not buying.
The Warlock lore seems all over the place. The initial pitch sounds borderline cult leaderish, which would totally fit with the charisma caster mechanics. However it is then made far more broad, and the lore is so open to interpretation that it almost feels as if you should get a choice between making Int, Cha or Wis your primary stat. At a minimum it should probably be dependent on your chosen patron. A guy who makes a deal with a Demon or Solar arguably makes sense as a charisma caster. A guy who makes a deal with an Old One would probably be an Int caster. A guy who makes a deal with a weapon could be fricking anything... hell, they could be a Str or Dex caster.
I'd table rule the frick out of that class if I actually played 5e.
Warlocks have been int based before
You can flop the stats pretty easily without breaking anything on its own.
Frankly, I don't see what makes Warlocks any different from Clerics.
Game mechanics
You could totally have a Warlock of some god or got their powers from a deal instead of by regular worship same way you could have a Cleric that's a herald for some demon lord.
A pact for mutual gain is different from worship and devotion, but yeah there are a lot of similarities
From the sounds of it, they aren't channeling their power from their patron. They receive power by working with the patron, but if the patron fricks off or dies, the Warlock still has the power that they attained. I kind of like that idea, I enjoy characters that receive power outside of the traditional means of training, innate abilities or channeling a greater power. I was thinking of playing a Warlock as sort of an Indiana Jones type of archeologist who comes across great power by interacting with an eldritch being that they come into contact with through their delving into ancient texts and dungeons. I used to play a Factotum in 3.5 and that was sort of similar at a basic level (the class was a bit convoluted and broken though, DM hated it).
You need to be a charismatic chad for an outer god to choose you. Why would something cosmic choose a NEET for a celestial emissary? You just convince your new friend to help you be more powerful for the benefits of both you and cosmic bro.
Because outer gods are women and they only want 20 CHA chads like me.
Charisma in D&D doesn't just mean "how good you are talking to le girls." It says in the PHB that Charisma is the expression of will/certainty of yourself and how good you are at manifesting yourself/your will to others. It's why Sorcerers are Charisma-based because their casting doesn't come from intelligence but from the sheer ability of their own nature and how they release it.
>the expression of will/certainty of yourself and how good you are at manifesting yourself/your will to others
That must be why banishment is a charisma save.
Literally only 1 human companion and it's a gay wizard.
4 of them look human

It was a pride parade, I had my reasons
you can kill everything
Apparently if you're too good as a Dark Urge you'll have to roll not to murder random people.
Yes, you can play as a murderhobo.
Gale is so lucky that the NPC romance was confirmed false.
If Gale would have even looked at Waifuheart or Karlach, I would have been forced to kill him. How lucky that it turns out he can't cuck me.
As if you will not still kill him, just to be sure.
any reason to not play dark urge for the first playthrough? seems like the best choice, custom character with a background story
>any reason to not play dark urge for the first playthrough?
Personal preference?
Apparently you may end up killing important characters and miss out on elements from the "main" story, but honestly it sounds way more fun doing it this way
How’s multiclassing in the EA? anything different? please tell me they fixed hexblade.
What's wrong with Pact of Blade? The only thing that's really wrong with it from what I remember is that it doesn't get medium armor proficiency.
in the tabletop, using cha for hits instead of str/dex and being a lvl1 dip is OP
Hexblade isn't in, but if it gets added later I doubt they'd fix it considering stuff like level 1 fighter dip is still just as strong as it is in the actual tabletop.
I have trouble enjoying fantasy games with black people in them. It immediately takes me out of the idea of "this is magical, this is fantasy" and makes me think "oh, ugly violent doodoo people are going to be integral to this story" and I lose interest. I don't even want to be like this as it makes most modern fantasy stories impossible to enjoy but it's just automatic. Africans aren't really suited for high fantasy. I'd feel the same way about a white person in a tribal african story.
I can guarantee you that a TND mod will be made as soon as the game comes out
probably nothing as autistic as american krogans fallout mod but a recolor for sure
>I have trouble enjoying fantasy games with black people in them
You don't enjoy many fantasy games huh, even from the 90s and early 2000s
can your character have facial scars? dos2 was severely lacking in customization like that
IRL Shadowheart is cute. dyke :_(
>that thing
>cute
here's some eye candy to wash the stain
Imagine if there was an evil sorcerer companion that looked like this and encouraged you to set things on fire and kill everyone. The game would actually be good.
That would be just Camelia larping as a wizard.
Yes, I need more Camelia since she's fun and gets me. Stop giving me boring good aligned characters as companions, I never use them. Her ending could use some work which is why she's tied with the spider in that game.
Well, soon we will know if any companions created by Larihacks are useful or worthy of remembering their names.
Holy it's white El globina
What the frick is this creature? Is it sick or something?
>IRL Shadowheart is cute.
That's a matter of opinion anon
Was she the model for Shadowheart? Because that's a rare modern example of a character being made prettier instead of uglier
I don't think I could call Larian 'based' with a straight face but they're not as pozzed as some devs at least
Based is just doing what you want, and ehile there are parts of the game that aren't based, a lot of it is.
Frick you I'm Based God.
>Based is just doing what you want
If you make your own game, sure. Not if you're pozzing up an existing IP
Wotc already pozz up their IP plenty, Larian is actually doing it better than Wotc themselves would
>Wotc already pozz up their IP plenty, Larian is actually doing it better than Wotc themselves would
I don't have a counterargument for this (because it's correct) but they're still far from what I would called 'based'.
okay then dont play the game homosexual. why the frick do you care so muuch about a game you have so much issues with?
>okay then dont play the game homosexual
I won't
>why the frick do you care so muuch about a game you have so much issues with?
I have opinions about the latest entry in a series I enjoy. I have opinions about games in general. It's weird that this offends you. Why do you care that I care?
nah, but she got sweet sounding voice. would listen her whispering my ear stories till i fall in sleep
It must suck as a woman to have a big nose and a horseface
LEAK THE STORM SORC CHANGES FROM TABLE TOP PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
i dont want to shill his page but fextra may update his wiki before 3rd

>Dark Urge
>tadpoles
What else can I do to make my character even more of a turboschizo with countless voices inside his head?
roll a die to decide every single time the game presents you with any choice at all
customize your character with your eyes closed
develop IRL schizophrenia
warlock pact
when the game gives you a choice, paste the options in several different ai language models and ask them for advice on how to proceed.
The only companions I need are Gankerbros.
