People talk shit about this game, but I've been enjoying it. I feel like most of the gripes I've heard about I never encountered and you kind of have to go out of your way to find those things.

Whining tends to drown out all other voices, and you should know by now how much this site likes to b***h. The game has some issues, but overall it's fine.

Have the idiots crying about bg3 changed or grown at all? Everyone around them is getting better while they are still rolling around in the mud.

>Have the idiots crying about bg3 changed or grown at all? Everyone around them is getting better while they are still rolling around in the mud.
Since completing BG3 it's a bad game, I've surpassed all my lifting records from my 20s, my second son was born, and I have my dream job waiting for me after I graduate this spring. How's your gender transition going?
Personal growth is anathema to the rightoid hivemind, because in order to have the capacity for personal growth you first have to acknowledge the fact that you might be wrong about something. When a right-winger is proven wrong, instead of examining why he was wrong and thus learning from it, he doubles down and gets mad at you for hurting his feelings. This is why the modern right is defined by only two things: Ignorance and anger.
Hm...

Yeah, that was projection alright.

I beat the entire game without dating, or having sex with anyone. Pretty easy to not even think about it if it isn't something you care about.
>I beat the entire game without dating, or having sex with anyone
Same. the game was still bad though despite that
>dating simulator Divinity original sin
And that's a good thing.
It came out too late, now RPG players are too mindbroken and sexless to appreciate hot babes and getting laid
It's egalitarian, leftist propaganda.
That too

Cool, now epeople get to be beaten for opinions AND denied basic services via ideological pariahnism for wrongthink.
This isn't happening to you. If you harass people or disturb the peace you get fricked under any ideology or time period.
>This isn't happening to you.
Yet. Thank god egalitarianism goes against human nature as hard as communism does.
> If you harass people or disturb the peace you get fricked under any ideology or time period.
So you admit there is no positive to egalitarianism. You just want government to have more power to enforce its ideology using "morality" as a cudgel.
>Yet
The cope you go through to keep acting like this is not healthy. You're going to give yourself an aneurysm over nothing and probably die early or live with the negative impact of accumulated stress and high blood pressure. Over literally nothing.
Concession accepted.
You say this but you know nobody agrees with you even when they stop replying. Nothing screams accepting self-defeat more than announcing your one-sided victory. I feel bad for you, nothing more.
based, I love it when right-wing people are hurt and lose employment
You are in no way treated equally to those who have authority over you, even today. Egality is a wedge issue that has historically been used by opportunists to upend prior establishments. It has never existed in the real outside of brief moments between individuals who care about each other.
modern leftists are corporate bootlicking cultists and racists, certainly not egalitarian
>the frost staff in the back
Maan, pretty much everyone is using this staff at that point in the game. It's either this or the staff that gives +1 to spell checks. Fricking powergaming munchkins the lot of you.
>pretty much everyone is using this staff at that point in the game
I was using this, just like I was for 2/3rds of the game. I dunno what part of the game that screenshot even is from, but it's still likely true
it's right after you rescued the nightsong in Act 2.
Ah. I killed Shadowtart on the beach (along with all the other origin chars). Was pretty funny when Viconia was like "WHERES SHADOWHEART SHE IS KNOWN TO TRAVEL WITH YOU" and I was like first of all b***h literally who
based, i used the flaming sword from the beginning the entire game because it looked kino in cutscenes
the game is piss easy theres no need to minmax
Good taste, anon. I used that for a long time, too. The funny part was how they fricked up the animations, and if you whipped out the shovel to dig up something with that sword equipped, you'd keep the flaming sword in your hands while digging with the shovel at the same time. Guess that's what happens when you spend your millions of dollars on vitiligo sliders and non-binary feminine penises and troony youtubers
>non-binary feminine penises
More games should have this.
No, they shouldn't, but fortunately for you, that seems to be the big takeaway from the game for the rest of the industry

Yes they should and you lost, cope

Please, get help, anon. Men cannot become women, no matter how much you may wish it so.
>Men cannot become women
If you cannot see how the erasure of gender identity will greatly benefit men from a legislative standpoint, who generally get the very, very short end of the stick, then you're an actual moron. The trans movement, fundamentally, is an anti-womans rights movement.
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?
Curious. Is this your honest belief, truly?
Yes, I genuinely believe women get major benefits over men and blurring gender lines will only help men.
Any specific examples on the benefits?
Courts overwhelmingly favor the woman in disputes, men basically have no rights and are always in the wrong if there is a dispute between a man and a woman. Additionally, women get increased wages and special opportunities to fill diversity quotas. If you truly erase gender then all of that gets thrown out of the mix.
What sort of disputes are you getting into?
But anyways, I think it's naive to think it will lead to reprogramming humans, and the harm done to society obviously isn't worth it anyway. Very short-sighted and ignorant of realities.
>What sort of disputes are you getting into
Things like who gets the kid, who gets the lions share in a divorce, courts looking to force men to give women financial support even if they aren't married but lived together. Furthermore, they are an enormous burden on corporations and an endless source of hostile work environment lawsuits, which in turn leads to squeaky clean bubble wrapped corporate environments and the production of shitty pozzed media.
>reprogramming humans
Cutting off your penis is being normalized, if somehow you can acknowledge this but women not fricking over men is an unbelievable scenario then we have a serious problems with womemes.
I would reconsider if erasure of gender identity will provide a solution to the problems you see. But let's agree to hold different views, this isn't the right place to have a topic like this anyway.
>this isn't the right place to have a topic like this anyway
People screech about "troons" nonstop then post this when the narrative changes, perfect.
>not using lathander mace to blind all the fricking undead while running around them with spirit guardians
I still can't believe CRPGs now have that kind of graphical fidelity.
Few years ago I would've never expected a TB CRPG of this caliber and success.
But that "RPG fans" would hate it.. yeah that I would've expected, comes with being popular.
People dislike it for variety of reasons and not just because it's popular. Although part of it might be just not liking Larian and acting as if this is a first them or something.

It's a choose your own adventure game, for a series that concluded decades ago, made by entirely different people, inserting their own quirky humor into it and "iconic" cameos. It's probably fun though, yeah.
played it, way too many sexual and “romantic” options in every single plotline. anything interesting about the narrative that seems to have an ounce of effort put into it, you can guarantee there will be gratuitous sex shoved in there at some point.
The fanbase engages in a popular concept originating from Orwell’s famous “1984”, known as double think. Somehow, on one hand the most popular aspect of the game is the sexual encounters, this is objectively true when you look at the memes posted about the game. it’s the main talking point of the fanbase.
Though, when you criticize this aspect of the game the general consensus becomes “it’s not that prevalent and you have to go out of your way to experience it”
so? which is it bg3 fans?
>Somehow, on one hand the most popular aspect of the game is the sexual encounters, this is objectively true when you look at the memes posted about the game. it’s the main talking point of the fanbase.
It generates memes and talking points, but isn't necessarily why people play it, rather obviously. People talk about Tifa's breasts, but I'm sure there's more to FF VII than that.
never once have i cared about or talked about tifa’s breasts. the comparison falls flat once you realize maybe 10% of fans post tifa porn when like 90% of BG3 “memes” are sex related.
more people talk about aerith dying than tifa’s breasts, because that moment is emotionally impactful and the game actually sets up the narrative for the scene to be THAT memorable.
there literally is no equivalent to that in BG3, btw i dont even give a shit about final slopstiny
Ah okay, FF VII consists of 10% Tifa's breasts, and the rest of the game is Aerith dying. Based on what people talk about.
yes, thats the plot. she sacrifices herself to heal the manaflow or whatever, did you even play the game you are talking about? you realize i’ve played both right? both BG3 and ff7?
what is your point again?
>what is your point again?
You dense motherfricker, lol. The point is that there's more to a game than what people talk about. VII had 3 discs, and it's not all breasts and breasts dying. Probably gameplay somewhere in there, too.
>3 discs
jesus fricking christ
The last disc was just the ending movie, so yeah, breasts.
>gameplay
OMG yay larian slop!!! i love the gameplay!!!
you stupid BG3 motherfrickers are pitiful, you concede the game is sex pest fantasy bullshit, and shift the goalposts to talking about gameplay.
never once did i say there was no gameplay. dumb piece of shit. have a nice day
>shift the goalposts to talking about gameplay.
Gameplay is the first and only goalpost.
okay, then BG3 is bad. congrats
yeah, keep playing overly sexualized larian slop. your taste is definitely good.
>okay, then BG3 is bad
If BG3s systems were so terrible and simple I'm sure every AAA company on the block would be copying this award winning formula, even shitrim has clones, but the fact of the matter is that the marriage between DOS's Ultima inspired world interactivity and DnD style environmental interactivity is extradinarily difficult and kotc2 is the only other game to date that really has anything similar, but the aforementioned game only limits said mechanics to combat which is certainly not the case for bg3, although I do wish you could grease steps.
>popular = good
yeah your taste is horrible. nice argument sheep.
Keep dodging the gameplay argument, you know why this game blew up and why it's great. No amount of coping is going to change that.
>why it’s great
LMAO. it’s larian slop. same as usual. it’s bad, popular things can be bad. if anything the fact that the game appeals to the lowest common denominator normie, which is (You).
it’s not cope, my taste is simply better than yours. my opinions are more informed and therefore superior. i’ve played more RPGs than you will in your entire life, you’re never going to catch up to me.
All that is to say, you are inferior for liking BG3. soulless npc video game, im glad you enjoy getting ass fricked by bears and troony orcs and tentacle porn.
>LMAO. it’s larian slop
What other game can I do this in
nice bait
Answer the question.
pretty much any rpg with druids, are you fricking stupid?
Name one game where I can do that. Show me.
?si=hKYHFgTDoYHbgVMn&t=1161
Yes, this is clearly the same exact thing. Well done owlcat. Now THIS is gameplay.
what point are you trying to make? the video you showed was just one dude playing with full shapeshifter druid party, pretty much any druid in modern rpgs can do the samething, as I said, only that larian has prettier graphics which is the only thing they have over any other studio
>what point are you trying to make?
How is 90 hours of directing your blob of non-descript stat bricks into other blobs of non-descript stat bricks good gameplay? I mean hell, even Deadfire was more engaging than this. It doesn't matter if you have a full party of sylvan sorcerors or use the companion characters as intended, the gameplay is exactly the same. Why be obtuse when anyone reasonable can clearly see the difference?
So you think non-stat oriented gameplay and cheesing is good RPG design? lmao no wonder you can't stop praising sven's ballsack
>So you think non-stat oriented gameplay and cheesing is good RPG design?
It is stat oriented, the stat limitations of being a cat effect the choices which must be made throughout the playthrough to survive, whereas in a homogenized owlshit game no such limitations are present.
this has to be the dumbest fricking thing I've read in this board
go play dark souls level 1 you wienersucking homosexual, you'll have the time of your life
If the stats of a character don't place restrictions on your capabilities then its not very good roleplaying. When I make a character or a party I should be thinking "these are the limitations I must play within and these are the realistic choices my character must make based on my his/her capabilities." Unless your entire basis of RPGs is jrpgs and morrowind I'm not sure how you could believe otherwise.
Stop replying to me you braindead troony, drop the hormones before making a post because you literally can't even make a solid argument.
Even in Morrowind someone with low strength and skill in a weapon will constantly miss, that's not new, pretty much every RPG has a punitive response to low stats in order to encourage a different approach using your good stats. Being a cat is just a fricking gimmick. The fact that you kept digging yourself deeper in this shit frick argument is astounding and is physically hurting me that I have to share a board with an individual like you.
Get that rope asap
>Even in Morrowind someone with low strength and skill in a weapon will constantly miss
And what is the solution? Training the skill or drinking a potion, which are effectively the same as having high stats in that skill, so the end result is the same. But what if its not that easy? Hell, what if it IS easy, but we have multiple more clever solutions that let us save that potion for a real dire situation or avoid grinding? Now we have a fun rpg. But this is lost on bethestards.
No, you don't understand. Codex told me that when you get killed trying to fight a high level bug and have to go kill 10 lower level bugs first thats kino and thats why gothic is masterclass game design.
>thinks he can drink a potion and turn into a little girl
Absolutely delusional
You can't predict what will happen in the future. We may all be little girls some day.
??? You can ignore the skill and move on, there are a shitton of options for playing and cheesing your way through in morrowind and other rpgs, does that make them good? Not particularly.
In your own stupid fricking example, the easiest solution is to just drop the fricking cat form and play optimally like a regular person, not to mention that BG3 is casual enough that most magical items have stacking special effects and stat increase, plus fricking class respec, it's a fricking joke to the point that players need to find an excuse to make their own run ""fun"" by gimping themselves.
Bravo, Larian!
>there are a shitton of options for playing and cheesing your way through in morrowind
No, there is an insanely limited amount of ways you can actually interact with the world in morrowind and anything beyond swinging a sword around is so poorly implemented it just feels like opening up the console and cheating. Its an EXTREMELY shallow game mechanically, and even if abilities worked as intended (literally impossible) it would still be shallow.
>D:OS arcade ass enviromental gameplay system is deep
LOL
Back to coping, I see.
No, I'm pretty satisfied right now. Seeing someone unironically praise D:OS braindead design as peak RPG mechanics is fricking hilarious.
>troony
>avatargay

What a trinity
lol this is the kind of dude that cries about the "muh dishonest fans" later.
bravo such great brain you have, much wow. /s
reddit! updoot! i love larian slop!
that’s how you fricking sound right now, jesus. have a nice day
can you say that without crying?
/vrpg/ is for low IQ shitflinging
The same arguments are made in other armpits of the internet in a serious manner and I'm just curious how people rationalize BG3 not being absolutely incredible mechanically. It's a miracle the game works at all.
>how people rationalize
Think of some negative angle, doesn't have to be relevant. Then I call you a goyslopper. There, another internet argument win.
>you know why this game blew up
Marketing, good graphics, high production values (animations, and graphics again). It's based on the most dumbed-down and casual-targeted version of DnD, and it's targeted squarely at the muh Critical Role and muh Twitch streamers audience. It's thoroughly mass-market corporate goyslop, and then morons like you eat it up and go "see? it's popular, that means it's good"
>Marketing, good graphics, high production values
Yeah that's why dreadwolf is gunna be a blockbuster
cisquisition got the most succesful launch in bioware history so why the hell not? you literally just need pretty graphics and romance roleplay to hook in normalgays
And outer worlds is Tim Cain's best selling RPG, but we can still look at it and say that it was a failure. If BG3 was an Inquisition or Outer Worlds we would already see people saying that it was the game that killed Larian, but the opposite is happening, and its moreso that Inquisition was the end result of the collective insanity of the xbox dudebro era, which you people are REPEATEDLY warned about despite frequently being nostalgic for that shitty time period.
And where do people say that? Outer Worlds has very positive reviews just like Inquisition even though they are both fricking shit. This site has a different view because it's not just as conformist as the average normalgay but you choose to take the word of anons for one game but not the other, why is that, Black person?
I played those shit games, homosexual. Where the frick are people praising those games? Certainly not Steam, the only other place that matters.
are you like this on purpose or is the HRT affecting your brain? wait, don't answer that, 41% yourself asap
Mostly positive is not good. It means nearly 1/3 of the people who bought it refunded it.
>positive is not positive
and you will never be a woman
>Mostly positive is not good. It means nearly 1/3 of the people who bought it refunded it.
That is not what that means.
Yeah it is. You're setting the bar very low.
Is a game really good if 25% of the people who bought it were so displeased they had to leave a negative review? I mean, this is a C, just barely a passing grade, not sure how this is indicative of quality. Not really sure what you thought this picture was going to bring to the table in this argument.
>it's a bad game
>actually, the reviews are "mostly positive"
>"mostly positive" isn't the same thing as "100% positive", therefore it's actually "mostly bad"
Look, I've never played the game and I don't intend to, but this is just silly
Anon, I wouldn't go to a C grade brain surgeon, would you?
for you, you can go to F grade brain surgeon and it will still be an upgrade.
Why don’t you want a more diverse and inclusive neurosurgery field? Are you some kind of white supremacist?
Whoa there anon, that info isnt for the goyim.
Everyone but this place dickrode Inquisition into oblivion, even here people are warmed up to it a bit, mostly thanks to Trespasser. Dreadwolf problem is perpetual devhell, it will not have production values of bg3, or cohesion for that matter, and that's with bg3 being rewrote into jumbled mess year into early access and fumbling the ever living frick out of narrative.
>will not have production values of bg3
Yeah, big RPGs are gonna have a rough time being compared to BG3 the next few years. Interesting to see how Dreadwolf survives that, if it even gets released.
>Everyone but this place dickrode Inquisition into oblivion
No they didn't. Even journalist outlets relentlessly shitted on it once it was clear what happened. There are gorillions of articles talking about how EA killed Bioware. There will be no such articles in regards to BG3 a decade from now and you can quote me on that.
>BG3 whiner outs himself as a console era bioware tard
how grand
>even here people are warmed up to it a bit, mostly thanks to Trespasser
haha no, have a nice day
>people are warmed up to it a bit, mostly thanks to Trespasser
Mmm, warm.
>It's thoroughly mass-market corporate goyslop
God I wish standards were that high for that segment.
>and kotc2 is the only other game to date that really has anything similar
Horizon's Gate
No.
Dude, you're straight up stupid.
Sorry to jump in but he has a great point, as someone who hates both games and sees them as normalgay slop that bring out the worst in jrpgs (muh cinematic cutscenes) and wrpgs (omg I can date virtual people) alike and obviously will never touch any of them, I know the plot of ffvii somewhat because people discuss it, a lot even on threads not about ffvii
Now the plot of bg3? No fricking idea all I know it's full of gay sex and bestiality because that's what people only talk a about.
>Now the plot of bg3? No fricking idea all
You never heard about the mindflayers? I think all the gay sex just had more staying power in your memory
>are you sure this will help us kill more mindflayers?
>kill more mindflayers?
It's lgbt troony garbage.
>People talk shit about this game, but I have no taste or no understanding of RPGs and I am also extremely gay, so I am its target audience
Ok, gaylord. Completely worthless thread.
Not an RPG.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to despise Baldur's Gate 3. The humor is extremely juvenile, and without a solid grasp of reddit leftism most of the jokes will go over a typical player's head. There's also Astarion's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal portrayal draws heavily from Reuben Kaye's performances, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the diminished intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the "depths" of these jokes, to realize that they're not just coomer bait- they tick all the appropriate boxes to satisfy any woke agenda. As a consequence people who dislike Baldur's Gate 3 truly ARE based- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the druid Halsin prolapsing the protagonist's anus whilst wild shaped as a bear, which itself is a cryptic reference to Marian Engel's 1976 novel "Bear." I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those well-adjusted normies scratching their heads in confusion as Larian's garbage unfolds itself on their computer monitors. What chads... how I envy them. And yes by the way, I DO have an Owlcat tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the fellow Gankerizen's eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they lift within 50lbs of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
I bench 225, let's see it.
>People talk shit about this game
Most of the people crying about it haven't played it, evidenced by this thread.
I wouldn't take anyone complaining about it seriously. They clearly aren't interested in actual discussion, just a reddit tier downvote war, and it's obvious everyone behaving in this manner has made an absolute fool of themselves by now. Some mentally ill obsessed moron will camp in every bg3 thread and b***h constantly even though we have threads up for dogshit like mass effect and skyrim, where you probably wont hear a peep from these supposed arbiters of quality, so its hard to take their complaints seriously. Fortunately this place hasn't degenerated as badly as ...other sites, to where someone like that can be seen as anything but a fool.
It was a 7/10 experience, the first Act is enjoyable but the second and third not so much. Then you have shit like the clown progression, the shitty homebrew changes by Larian, the mostly bad companions, the plot taking a nosedive after dealing with Ketheric Thorm and finally the absolute rape of BG1 characters. It all starts piling up.
>Some mentally ill obsessed moron
... says the guy avataring as a troony
>I wouldn't take anyone complaining about it seriously. They clearly aren't interested in actual discussion
This is a complete inversion of the truth. I’ve seen many anons critique this game and explain what they liked and why, while also being nuanced and admitting what bg3 did well, in the interest of intellectual honesty and fairness. Meanwhile, bg3 fanboys on this board are notorious for being disingenuous and dishonest shills who are incapable of defending the game on its own merits, and immediately resort to deflection (name a better game. BG2 was worse) and insults and pathetic strawmen (youre just a incel chud, you only dislike the game because trannies and Black folk) when their emotional connection to the game is threatened and challenged by someone explaining why they disliked the game.
I’ve literally seen one (1) anon on this board who liked bg3 and was also able to give an intelligent defense of the game against its detractors. Even if I disagreed with him I respected him for not being a homosexual. he wasn’t you, you’re always one of the homosexuals in these threads
>dishonest shills who are incapable of defending the game
anon.. they obviously didn't even play it. These are morons who comment on things they didn't do; instead of asking questions and being motivated to experience it for themselves. These "people" obviously didn't read the FAQ
Hell, I went into the game really excited for it, I wanted to like it, I enjoyed the early access when it first came out and I liked dos2. Fairly early on into launch bg3 I realized something had gone horribly wrong and this wasn’t the game I thought it would be, and by halfway through I actively disliked it and I was merely stubbornly finishing it so that I could accurately talk shit about the game in its entirety, and see just how bad it got by the end.
I had the same experience but didn't finish. I just wasn't feeling it at the time. I still plan to go back eventually, maybe. For that reason I don't comment on anything past Act 1 which I did complete fully a few times.
I think it's a beautiful game and I loved it in the very early access when shit was still broken. I've always been the type to replay crpgs with different builds and never actually finish the game anyways.
I like the combat in the game a lot. I felt like the game was using different logic than me for a lot of the story arcs though. Like I just wanted to do something different but I had to play by the rules for like the druid shrine and shit like that.
>I’ve seen many anons critique
Yeah, criticism is the norm here, even towards the all time greats. And if someone speaks positively towards something, they get more criticism as a response. This site dwells in negativity, and if you were to take that seriously, all games would be dogshit.
How many good RPGs are there, according to /vrpg/? A handful, maybe, if we're generous.
Fair, anon, I’ll admit that you have a good point here. I would respond that my argument was of a qualitative nature and not quantitative. There are many classic and beloved great games that get bandwagon shit on here, but the discussion is more varied: you’ll get anons posting valid criticisms, and valid defenses, and you’ll get anons shitposting for and against the game.
However, there’s a handful of games that bring out really cult-like and dishonest shilling in defense of them on this board, the two most prominent examples being bg3 and the iwd2ee, both of which are marked by fanboy shills who screech dishonestly in response to any criticism, and by very little nuanced defense on their merits (hence why I was shocked when I actually found the one bg3 fan who made reasonable arguments on this board, even if I disagreed with his conclusions, I respected him for being fair) My gut feeling is that their fan base on /vrpg/ overlaps quite a bit, and their reasoning faculties have been impaired by their estrogen pills.
I really don't recommend making any assumptions based on what you read here. There's pure baiting, or some very obsessed individuals spamming the same shit, all sort of shit that skews the view. Old games get a bit more reasonable discussion, because there's no hype or console/culture war or whatever nonsense possible surrounding it.
Give it a few years and the discussion about BG3 will be more sane. Or maybe this ongoing doomer shit continues even then, who knows, who cares.
what idiot gives a single frick about your respect? i have written hundreds of posts explaining why i like the game but to no avail the shitposters dont and wont care and will dismiss anything you say and continue to do their thing, you reap what you saw. as long as you keep screeching like a moron you will get the responses you deserve. now go cry again about muhh dishonest fan you hideous troglodyte.
so you think random anons are going to change their opinion because you're so smart and well written or something?
meds now.
There is no discussion to be had with the likes of you, thats the point, moron.
>they think I’m a Black person? Perhaps if I ape out then that will prove them wrong
>i have written hundreds of posts explaining why i like the game
This would be the problem, yeah.
NTA, but you seem to be absolutely determined to "win" this argument about a moronic video game at all costs. For some reason.
>Larian's marketing department begging for any kind of engagement
Trash gayme not even worth a critique. Shitpost at all cost.
BG3 is sort of like a litmus test for if someone really likes rpgs or not. I find that most people who don't really only garbage like morrowind and arcanum, and have a very narrow casual scope of the genre, and would probably be better off playing a different genre but got lost on the way to it somehow.
Seems like a poor argument to just throw shade at other RPGs. Can you explain what mechanics does BG3 offer that make it such a shining example of the genre that it could even be used as a staple in a litmus test?
If you can't debate philosophy with the last boss and resolve conflict with speech check then you are not playing rpg.
Shitposting aside, the game is interactive enough that you can trick the elder brain into killing himself without the need for a scripted dialogue interaction, which is pretty impressive imo
>stealing words from a patrician
Peak Black personcattle in full display. You can't even make your own words because you are unable to have any internal monologue, I pity you. Now get your hands off my toga, sodomite pleb.
Those aren't people
It's funny to me that everyone who turned against this game ended up looking like a complete dumbass in the end.
Ok pajeet
>People talk shit about this game
No one intelligent does.
It's not shit because of just the netflix marvel tier dialogue, story, companions, and presentation. The difficulty is too easy and RPG mechanics are too simplified, so it's just boring.
Larian has some of the worst map design out of any developer and I don't understand how anyone can tolerate it. Instead of having an actual open world where events, locations, and landscapes are spaced out and reasonably explorable through pacing or forgoing sprawl by implementing an overworld that then connects to intentionally crafted areas akin to a majority of crpg's; they compromise and merge both together, creating limited locations by Act where all of the events and exploration are sandwiched into each other akin to an ant farm. It's extremely atrocious game design that forgoes the concept of pacing, and this is only made worse by the exceedingly low interactivity that is present within their games. in BG3 for example, if you take Auntie Ethel's quest, the game will act as if you have encountered her on the road and expect you to be aware of those events even if you missed it (and considering Larian's ant farm map design, it is very easy to miss, and in fact most players do). It does not feel like a game that you are meant to explore or experiment, but a checklist that the DM will get upset at you over if you do not follow it to a tee.
Always do the opposite of what Ganker tells you. It's baffling how the average user here manages to have such shit tastes in literally everything.
Anon, i have excellent taste in everything.
>not half-life 1
>not mechwarrior 2, or MW2: Mercs
is this highly advanced bait?
update this list. You're really telling me summer/winter memories doesn't make the cut for 2d?
>update this list
too lazy
MW2 is actually the first MW game i ever played in multiplayer no less but 4 is the one i played the most and is closer to my heart.
>HL1
It is really hard to pick between HL1 and HL2 but i'll have to go with 2 still. HL1 has the better multiplayer but singleplayer HL2 edges out.
Good taste indeed.
I take my hate off and extend my hand to shake yours.
>BG3 lover can only provide good recommendations for porn games
fair enough
A genuine WEG homosexual is the type of person who likes BG3, explains a lot really.
A theme I find with people that dislike bg3 is that they have no taste for combat or really fundamental rpg stuff in general.
Why do you keep samegayging
I don't think you know what samegayging means, newfriend.
You keep making passive aggressive posts without engaging throughout the thread, it's easy to spot you because you keep giving your own taste too much credit and also keep a shitty stock of anime reaction images.
That's not what samegayging is.
jumpy, are we?
why did you post a reddit image

You shoulda expected him to do that anon, it's typical troon behaviour. The ones who vehemently accuse others of being trannies over petty differences of opinion are often closeted trannies themselves.
So you don't know what samegayging means, perfect.
moronGOD
I don't know why but i always end up going towards Wizard/Cleric multiclassing in BG3. Why is this the only build that feels optimal to me?
I liked the new D&D rule set because frick THAC0. I play games on normal and just truck thru em my own way these days. I play like a true casual and I fricking love it. Leave the hardcore shit for Tarkov or something
>I liked the new D&D rule set because frick THAC0
Anon, they got rid of THAC0 almost a quarter-century ago.
I got BG2 when I was 12. My only D&D crpg. so..yeah
Yeah, BG2 was the tail end of the 2nd edition (THAC0) era. I think it was actually the last 2nd ed CRPG to come out. 3rd edition came out right after that and streamlined some of the more archaic mechanics, like that, and negative armor class, both of which were holdovers from DnD's tabletop wargaming roots.
holy moron
if you like BG3, you are a soulless sheep with bad taste in games on top of that.
yeah but you are a neo nazi, who gives a frick what you think?
Basics and underlying are good and I hope modding support includes campaign editor. Game itself is awful though when you take in all the other elements.
>Basics and underlying are good and I hope modding support includes campaign editor. Game itself is awful though when you take in all the other elements.
I think BG3 was shit but if they release robust modding and campaign editing tools then some really cool stuff could be done with the engine.
They said it will be implemented.

At this point it's the only hope I have after I bought it for full price thinking "eh, at least I will have something to do while I wait for something that will grab my attention, it's not like I cannot afford it". Ended up being bored and forcing myself to play until I got stonewalled at the end of Act 2 because of long rests not working properly. When they fixed it I came back to go too far under Baldur's Gate and getting Lae'zel taken away by psycho shapeshifter and dropped it completely. And I enjoyed D:OS 2, I have no idea what happened in a meantime, technically it's straight improvement over that one.
>When they fixed it I came back to go too far under Baldur's Gate and getting Lae'zel taken away by psycho shapeshifter and dropped it completely.
If you didn't learn the game and leaned on laezels gorilla strength I imagine that would be pretty bad.
Nah, she got replaced by Karlach pretty soon because I played Fighter (first time with 5e, best to use safe options for learning system and two martials are a must in a way I play, having Barbarian or Paladin is preferable to two Fighters), it was mostly because I didn't finish her questline with Orpheus and I was already pissed off by CTDs and general boredom. Came back to NWN modules and had a blast.
>I didn't finish her questline with Orpheus
You can still complete it after that.
>Came back to NWN modules
Oh yuck I'd rather kill myself than play NWN again.
>You can still complete it after that.
Weird, at that point I did some research online and it said that personal quest for taken companion is basically going to be stuck in whichever phase it ended. If it's about pulling through the whole Emperor vs Orpheus questline, hell, I didn't care to be frank.
>Oh yuck I'd rather kill myself than play NWN again.
Maybe do. Things people done in it for free dwarfs 90% of classics release versions. I'm kinda sad I manage to play through 80% of worthwhile custom content and other 20% doesn't interest me in the slightest.
>Maybe do. Things people done in it for free dwarfs 90% of classics release versions. I'm kinda sad I manage to play through 80% of worthwhile custom content and other 20% doesn't interest me in the slightest.
I really don't understand how anyone can stomach a singular character (with one henchman!) Rtwp game. I've never played any module that's even remotely interesting. It's always just being recommended dogshit and then I play it come back and explain why it's dogshit and then people go "well yeah I guess it is dogshit but did you try this one!?" Like the combat, the extremely stupid way 3e is framed within it, the very limited capabilities of aurora engine, none of that is interesting to me.
It’s basically either A. You played it back in the day and have nostalgia for it, or B. You’re playing online on a persistent world. If someone doesn’t have any fondness for the game from back in the day, I would not recommend “dude you have to play this module it’s great” tbh
I must say, before I got to the point when I can play NWN I needed to go all the way to settle into it through DA:O, then both KotORs, NWN 2 and both BGs. Still, I would love to hear your opinion on some modules you played, although you seem like you just don't like mechanics and can't blame you for that.
>DA:O, then both KotORs, NWN 2
Anon, I hate literally all of those. Like a LOT.
Then what games you DO like?
These games, and lots of other things really. But if you're coming from an aurora engine background we basically exist in different dimensions.
Oh and another thing, the only NWN modules I enjoyed at all were the ones based on old real dnd modules, particularly those in the greyhawk setting like cult of the reptile god, but obviously that was pretty clearly due to a bias to the setting and were mostly otherwise pretty bad as per usual. And for Dragon Age, the only enjoyment I could squeeze out of that game whatsoever was dicking around with the gambit system and trying to automate the game in its entirety, so much so that I enjoyed my second playthrough modded for the extended gambit system exponentially more, but the game itself is so incredibly atrocious it makes my blood pressure go up just thinking about how terrible it is. (and deadfire has a better automation system anyways, in addition to more IWD DNA than I had initially remembered)
I really hope you can appreciate how obnoxious it is to hear someone complain about BG3 then turn around and praise aurora engine trash.
decent taste except bottom left pic. you hate all nu-games except…. slop that panders to boomers? typical.
other than that, respect
>you hate all nu-games except…. slop that panders to boomers
I like BG3 a lot and I just praised deadfire in the post above you. Like other stuff like Age of Decadence, Expeditions Conquistador, Battle Brothers, Banner Saga, modern roguelikes like Cogmind and Infra Arcana, the list goes on... How can anyone hate grimrock 2? Absolutely absurd, that game is insanely good.
yeah, insanely good at pandering. lmfao.
>yeah, insanely good at pandering.
To who? The autistic finns that made it? Do you have the game confused with something else?
to (you) please frick off now grandpa
maybe actually play it next time it goes on sale
>square dancer with inane puzzles
2 is better than 1, which was entirely about timing based puzzles on a grid, but it is still pretty shit and doesn't hold candle to proper blobbers.
Yet another post that confirms that BG3 haters near universally have shit taste.
If bg3 lovers didn’t have shit taste, they wouldn’t be apologizing for bg3 and defending it
I'm pretty sure your taste is literally shit when you love big, loud farts and gay bear sex. That's your level.
>which was entirely about timing based puzzles on a grid
why do people CONSTANTLY make shit up in these threads
oh look. it's the best rpg ever made. I have not played any of the other games on your list.
>It's egalitarian, leftist propaganda.
Imagine defending wokeshit developers who hate your very existence for free.
Gamers are an oppressed minority, why would they be against us
Jokes on you, I'm getting paid for it.
You are brainwashed.
most masculine leftie
i tried to have this same mindset but 1 too many plotlines ended in sexual options. hamfisted sex and romance are everywhere in the game. really disturbing and moronic considering i’ve never had an actual dnd campaign with that much sexual frickery.
I've been waiting for someone to say this because I couldn't find the words. It's like I just wish I had the option to wife up the chick I created at the start immediately and choose have a monogamous adventure through D&D land for 90 hours and call it a day. I vividly remember I rescued Gale and went back to camp soon after. I talked to him and the game immediately has him hit on me. It's just like, I just don't want that. Call me a homosexual but I'd rather play the game for the spreadsheet autism and mechanics. I really like the game mechanics. But it really is over sexualized.
I remember an anon in the original bg3 thread had a screenshot from the end of the game where withers basically called him a b***h. Withers was like oh you didn't choose to lay with anyone and you're lonely and this is why you're alone and all this bullshit. That was real. I want sexy women in my game but it's not an H game. Just frickin keep em sexy and let me play the game with as little interference from romance shit as possible.
>a screenshot from the end of the game where withers basically called him a b***h. Withers was like oh you didn't choose to lay with anyone and you're lonely and this is why you're alone and all this bullshit
That's not at the end of the game, its a bonus dialogue you get from talking to withers over and over.
>I want sexy women in my game
I don't, and this actually brings up an odd point, that BG3 actually isn't sexually charged despite being extremely horny.
It's 2/3rds of the way through the game, at the start of act 3. He didn't literally mean the end of the game.
>an odd point, that BG3 actually isn't sexually charged despite being extremely horny
What is wrong with you?
>He didn't literally mean the end of the game.
>I WAS JUST MAKING SHIT UP AND BEING OBTUSE, I DIDNT MEAN IT
>What is wrong with you?
At no point during my bg3 playthrough did I have any urge to fap. It's not really horny bait. At most you can undress the characters which I suppose would be really appealing to a 13 year with a console and no internet access.
The game has fully motion-capped lesbian scissoring and shit and all your companions will all try to frick you three seconds after meeting you, I don't know what you think "isn't sexually charged" means. If it doesn't literally make you jerk off then the overly-sexualized content doesn't exist, or what? When I was young, I played Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 with my dad and we shared the games together and talked about our playthroughs. I will never experience that with my children and BG3.
nta but I never found it sexy. also I kept wanting to just make a team of human women instead dealing with fricking frog. Was there ever a succesful mod to make her human because you couldn't at release. She is extremely based otherwise I wish she was an asian chick.
Just do the four instances of the game multiplayer workaround and make a custom party of whatever you want. I saw zero sex in my playthrough because I killed all the origin chars and stayed out of the prostitutehouse.
I wouldn't mind sex in the game just not with the characters they made lol. Even shadowheart was always a reach. Don't like her face. cheekbones too high. I just want a lightly plump part of wives to accompany me while I solve all the problems of those unfortunate enough to not be me. it's a very specific roleplay.
They edited her face to make her features more masculine some time between early access and retail. Who's got the comparison screenshot? I've seen it floating around here before.
Her face changed when they went to a newer more completely rigged model, I highly doubt a hidden agenda factors in here as all characters underwent multiple changes.
Hot take but Community Update 3 is the worst one. That resting b***hface is disgusting imo. Pax East still btfos both of them, tho
>Pax East still btfos both of them, tho
She just looks like a potato there.
>She just looks like a potato there.
The reason BG3 is so innovative and high-quality is that no other RPG allows you the freedom to play with a party of four potatoes. It is stat oriented, the stat limitations of being a potato affect the choices which must be made throughout the playthrough to survive, whereas in other games no such limitations are present.
I look forward to a bright new era of potato-likes.
Most of the scenes are humorous. I really doubt a large percentage of the playerbase had their pants on the ground during Gale's astral projection frotting scene. Don't really give a shit about your kids, don't come here if you have kids. You're probably a fricked up dad if you have kids and browse Ganker, hope that's a larp.
> It's like I just wish I had the option to wife up the chick I created at the start immediately and choose have a monogamous adventure through D&D land for 90 hours and call it a day
Originally, the game prompted you “who do you dream of at night?” to make a waifu, who would come to you in your dreams to seduce you. She was called “Daisy” and she was the personification of the tadpole, if you went along with it she eventually offered you a choice to end the game by laying down by the river in imaginary tadpole waifu land as you slowly turned into a mindflayer and got a game over. It was actually pretty clever and funny I thought, and was the whole “down down down by the river” char creation song. Very late in development this was rewritten to “you need a guardian” and as anyone who’s finished the game knows that whole plot line turns out almost unimaginably moronic
I really do like this game but the sex obsession the writers have really puts me off. Even romance heavy games like mass effect let you build up a proper friendship with characters without them wanting to jump in your pants.
Halsin genuinely acts like a creep, next run I'm just going to kill him or ignore his quest entirely.
/vrpg/ - Discussion about which anon has the bestest taste in RPGs
I wish. BG3 isn't even a real RPG.
You're not a real RPG
I've said this before and I'll say it again.
Ganker idpol posters are just sjw trannies leftoids but on the other side of the coin.
Where's my (You) @?
>but I've been enjoying it.
Yes, there were also people that enjoyed Mass Effect 3 or Dragon Age 2 Im sure.
Rate my Durge
Great taste, i really like it.
>playing a woman
GAY!!!! GAY ALERT!!!
Never got why the default durge is a sinister monster person. It should be a very heroic or beautiful looking person.
>It should be a very heroic or beautiful looking person.
Yes this would be more accurate to serial killers.
>this would be more accurate to serial killers
Most serial killers look like abominations.
Durge isn't just a serial killer, he's a cult leader and major political operator.
Garbage game for morons and degenerates
Baldur's Gate 3 haters when someone wants to talk about Baldur's Gate 3.
>Baldur's Gate 3 players discussing their game
Idk about you, but the guy in the suit looks like an absolute chad.
Me in the lower right.
this is literally us when bg3 players discussing the game, we are sex incarnate
Me in upper left.
Never met an intelligent, educated heterosexual adult who liked this "game" loved by moronEra.
I’ve met one, a non-zero amount exist
You would if you ever left your mommas basement.
stop doxxing yourself
BG3 player in the mirror, me holding the mirror.
This but BG3 hater in the mirror, me holding the mirror.
Doesn't make sense since BG3 is a game filled with trans characters and trans character creators, but whatever you wish, shitposter.
It makes perfect sense, since I am chad and mirror person is you. Hope this helps :^)
No, it must be the other way around, it doesn't make sense otherwise. You are most definitely mistaken, I have the mirror, I'm holding it.
Look at this Black person stealing my memes of mass troony destruction. Leftoids cannot create...
Good talk, guys.
welcome to /vrpg/
its just Ganker but slower
Let me be the first to say this but Ranger is heavily underrated. Especially multiclassing into Hunter 8 lvls and then 4 lvls into Battlemaster.
Ranger is one of the most popular multis
Not really. Fighter and Wizard dips are the really popular ones.
Gloomstalker is incredible first round burst.
This "game" doesn't have classes. Each "class" is only like 40% completed.
What an utter casual shitfest "game."
you cant just post that and not give any proof, you know
i mean why would you lie on the internet right?
>Hurr durr I've never played DnD in my entire life
>DnD has only 12 levels and only as many skills as BG3...!
What a fricking idiot. Back to grade school.
>still doesnt post any proof
well at least its a free bump, cheers for the bump
I did but you're too stupid to see the connection. Back to having gay sex with bears.
>Back to grade school.
They teach DnD classes in gradeschool now?
Ive spent like 300 hours on early access and burned myself out, til this day I still havent completed a final release playthrough lmao
Any idea when is the definitive edition gonna come out?
>Ive spent like 300 hours on early access and burned myself out, til this day I still havent completed a final release playthrough lmao
This is exactly why I stopped playing the early access like three years ago when it was new. Unfortunately, anon, the early access was a lot better game, and the release version is shit.
>Any idea when is the definitive edition gonna come out?
No one knows. Probably 1-2 years. I'd probably wait for it before you replay it, tbh.
>Unfortunately, anon, the early access was a lot better game
What did you like better about EA? I played both and thought the release was way better.
>What did you like better about EA?
Sorry, Im just mentally ill and making shit up.
>What did you like better about EA?
I am the anon you’re responding to (ignore the mentally ill Don Quixote imposter)
Few little mechanical differences I was surprised by, I think acid splash/fire bolt/icy whatever cantrips got nerfed, perhaps some were OP and needed nerfing but at least they were useful in different situations
Was surprised by high ground bonus being removed (was probably op, fair change)
Was surprised by the flanking/attack from behind bonus being changed (though the meta of everyone leaping around in melee to get behind enemy was moronic, prob good change)
Races still had stat modifiers (prob wotcs fault, not Larians)
Default human wasn’t a negress barbarian with 8 INT
Didn’t have vitiligo sliders, non-binary feminine penises, and ten thousand modern hairstyles to break immersion with
I liked the longer tutorial ship
The dialogue seemed far less wannabe Marvel quippy
I didn’t see any trannies and it didn’t seem like half the games dwarves elves halflings and humans were race swapped to Black folk for diversity points
I also never played past the act 1 burning inn in the EA so it’s simply possible that I only played the part of the game I liked and stopped there, which is why I liked what I saw. The quality of the release version just went down and down as it dragged on.
So all positive changes except for your rage at fantasy skin colors
>early access was a lot better game
Yeah lets just pretend that the bugs, glitches and unfinished shit are all good things
>Yeah lets just pretend that the bugs, glitches and unfinished shit are all good things
I, personally, encountered far more bugs, glitches, and unfinished shit playing the release version of bg3 to completion, than I did playing that circa 2020 EA for a while and dropping it.
go back to freakin /misc/ transphobes
(you)
>the early access was a lot better game, and the release version is shit
Not the anon that you're replying to but i'll agree that some things were better in the EA but there are also things that are better in the full release.
