Yeah but what's the premise? Like, in Dragon Age the plot is that you, a new recruit for an order of monster killers is in charge of uniting a land of various factions to lead a fight against the monster horde. That's pretty simple to understand.
Alien puts alien brain worm into your brain. You need to figure out how to get it out before you become an alien.
Along the way you learn that the alien brain worms are part of a plot that is way bigger than just you.
Essentially. It leads to why the brain worms are a problem, who is making them a problem and what they get out of it, and ultimately how to solve that problem (it's harder than it sounds), but yeah, it's ultimately all about the fact that you've got a brain worm and that's no bueno.
You and your party have been abducted by fantasy aliens and puts and brain worm in your head that will turn you into one. You escape, look for a cure, and interact with a growing cult
the male party members constantly try and take you behind the bushes and get you to suck their dick even when you tell them you're not interested >just le kill them
the game doesn't give you anyone to replace them with
>male invites you for a drink >sure why not, who doesn’t like a drink with a companion >starts trying to shove his dick in my mouth >what the frick, I’m not into that >he gets mad at me, I am now punished for not sucking his dick
>I'm sorry to tell you, but literally everything is woke now.
You're not rocking his world there, these homosexuals are terrified of their own shadows and think Black personmonsters are trailing them.

As a Tendie/PC gay, I'll say it a lot: getting the fricking normies to play and love DND 5E is genuinely a goty-worthy achievement. Totk had a great garry's mod mode that I love a lot, but getting the normies to play turn based combat and make Medicine checks and FRICKING READ is really based.

You choices don't matter THAT fricking much and it's not really like a D&D campaign at all it's literally just DoS3 with fricking D20 rolls.
The misinfo going around about this stupid ass game is ridiculous. So is the FOMO. No ones missing shit by skipping this game it's ass.
Shut up you stupid fricking Black person. The game having an overarching plot beat doesn't mean all the characters behave the same, it's reactive to your own choices, idiot. Especially which characters you have sex with.
Halsin never wanted to frick me. Flat fact. I talked to him plenty, but I failed to resolve his sidequest in act 2, so he just moved on and never showed any affection to me and mine. That's all there is to it. Your inability to comprehend this makes you moronic.
Look at that point slide. It's not "avoiding content" idiot. I didn't make any deliberate choice, I just happened to finish act 2 early because I thought Shadowheart's dungeon was a sidequest when in fact it was the main quest.
Wtf do you mean I should stay out gay bars in real life? That's literal content anon, I'm missing out on experiences. Why would that gay bar be there if I'm not supposed to hang out in there. I should be able to be in the gay bar without dudes trying to hit on me
You're literally just a coomer. Respectfully, unalive yourself or something.
Some of us actually like playing video games and don't need to constantly edge and attention seek every waking moment of our fricking lives.
Your inability to comprehend the fact that YOU missing timing on a telegraphed event you could've googled and not being able to frick the ugly side character you wanted is not deep or riveting fricking gameplay, moron.
What the frick are you talking about? What is this ad hominem moronation? Even if I WERE a coomer, what does that even have to do with any fricking point I made? You are making no sense whatsoever, dumbass.
Nobody's calling it "deep or riveting gameplay". Just that that flag for bear sex is not nearly as omnipresent or obligatory as the memes that plague this game try to sell you. Can you fricking comprehend the words that are being said yet? Or do you only have empty insults to belie your lack of mental ability?

Game needed to be open world with the same attention to detail the whole way through with a game space like three times the size of the current game, with the ability to go wherever and have everything respond accordingly if it wanted be be non-linear.
A good DM knows that their party can frick off at any time and competently derail the campaign by for example wanting to go join a background event that give things texture thus needing them to come up with other shit.
The game cannot do that so its linear.
If they game for instance let you upon hearing about The Blood War go "that sounds fricking cool, I'm going to make my way into the hells and use my newfound powers to join it!" and then had an entirely different adventure based upon that it would earn that tile much more.
Your quantification of linearity is preposterous. No game is nonlinear in that case. No game is "open world" enough. No game has ever been created with a million options to take, no game will ever be until AI is smart enough to program a game on the fricking fly. Your demands are beyond a human ability to create.

If you know hows Devil's and Demons Function and act, and you know ways to get into the Blood War.
Here let me break it down how you actually do it.
First have the players involved make a knowledge roll or some sort to gauge what amount of information they have already.
If they pass you tell them what they should know, if they fail you tell them that scholar or wizard may know, thus leading to the next bit of time dedicated to finding an expert in this field. Which you should know since you have already planned the area of the campaign the players are in (this may last the session and give you the time you want).
Then the next step is actually getting down there which a sufficiently trained and powered user of the Art should be able to do for instance and then the campaign becomes about that. Then once the players get say Avernus (which should realistically take multiple sessions unless they already had access to high level spells slots) they walk up to a side and try and join to which you the DM can respond accordingly.
And the only thing I had to look up while writing this was the spelling of Avernus.

You can build upon the prep work you already had, or barring that you can use your knoldge of what region of Faerun your already to intuit where the wizards or scholars are.
Near Waterdeep? Their are plenty of those gifted in the Art there you can inquire with, or hell you can direct the players to Candlekeep which is an adventure in itself. In the East? Thay is right there, In the South> Go entreat with any Calimshan Nobles, some of them keep magic users on retainer if they can get them (Hell they even capture and enslave all elves because of their inherent magic nature) Or if their are basically any major cities near (which you should know because their adventuring in the area already) their will be Libraries and established Casters.
The only reason one would not have access to magic in a Forgotten realms Campaign is if your out in the boonies and even then it would still likely take the rest of the session to get to where the player want.
My point being that you can build off what you already have if you put any time and effort into the previously planned adventure beyond a straight railroad and by the time you need to plain again if your really need it their are stopgaps already in place..

Literally any sandbox or game creator. Writing a book. Actual D&D. Procedurally generated games. Story card games with RNG world building.
You are correct though, Baldur's gate is not what people are trying to pretend it is. The options are limited. Adding useless text choices and character interactions does not drastically change the outcome.
Plenty of games have multiple endings at this point and that shit sucks every time.

>Fricking what?
Google. There's card games that build the world as you go & it's easy as frick for the developers to keep adding options, choices and endings like that Slay the Princess game. You can take out or add cards you do and don't like, or flat out make your own. It's the easiest way to make up a procedurally generated table top experience.
There's also shit like Dungion.io. While the Ai stuff sucks, what you're trying to say can't exist is actually probably going to exist in a couple of years and be packaged in the from of some shit like Genshin impact. You will hate it. But at least you can ignore it and enjoy your baulders gate.

I never said it "can't exist", I said it doesn't and won't for a long time. LLMs like AIDungeon are not games, they're machines that spit words at you in a way that tries to act like a game.

>the sex stuff
that's all people talk about because its all they care about, its basically a porn game you can get away with talking about publicly.
it lets you customize your dick right down to the foreskin.
That's the thing, literally every character in this game is mid. They're all ugly. The men and the women.
On purpose. Character creator options are ugly. On purpose.
i haven't found it that way, i just find it funny they still felt the need to make sure you know that any character, even a demon, is a black person.
i guess to look more like a show or movie but it just takes you out of it.
It's basically a gay fetish porn visual novel, the reason it's getting shilled is strictly because of that, most of the gaming community has been taken over by trannies and other kinds of degenerates so they shill this shit so they can poz you too
It's a half assed srpg with asystem of one the worst dnd editions ever made. That was in early acess for 3 years and still released unfinished.
It's heavily story driven to the point where gameplay could be removed and the same people who say they like it would still call it game of the year. also you can frick a bear like in modded skyirm.
The game is about you saving >Or dooming
Baldurs gate and I guess the parts of the sword coast you travel through to get there
Very dnd core expac, up there with the greats like NWN
okay I put 12 hours into to this on PlayStation so you can trust me.
you make a character from all the standard fantasy tropes, the player characters have been kidnapped by squid men and infected by a virus, some multiverse crap goes on (yes D&D has a multiverse who knew?) and you're dumped in to a field picking up party members and you're to decide who to trust about finding the best way to cure yourself of the squid men's virus before your brain grows legs and walks out of your skull.
It's about sex stuff and rolling dice to see if the sex stuff that happens is gay or not. Sometimes you fight things, but only if you don't want to have gay sex with they/them instead.
Basically you get infected with a parasite and need to go on a journey to get it removed, but along the way you find out the parasite let's you mind link with people and is part of a grander scheme of large impending doom
this board has gone completely demented
everyone just parrots culture war/political talking points obsessively
(You) are the ones with gay sex and bestiality on your mind 24/7
99% of the people playing these games are just normal people, not trannies, not gays, just regular fricking people
get a fricking grip Ganker
>I haven't seen a single person talking about it beside the sex stuff
Because that is exactly what this woke trash is, a virtual porn novel with zero gameplay. Degenerated game journalists love this stuff.
the whole personality of the game is its sexuality, just like the ocean of trannies vulturing Ganker and every video game space on the internet, they had too much firepower fans, now they will not stop talking about it and new LGBT nerd-based games and movies will start projects today, it will unironically get worse, but yeah TGAs are a meme in themselves, I mean Forza Motorsport won best racing game while The Crew: Motorfest is a thing, it's safe to say the terminally online transbian army won, even though they will never be women
To get rid of the parasite in your brain that will eventually kill you, then you find out about a conspiracy surrounding a cult that is going to take over the world.
You got a brain worm
Brain worm bad because it transforms people into tentacle monsters
Need to get rid of brain worm and discover who is behind brain worms getting shoved into everyone in the vicinity
It's about 3 gods associated with what was previously the domain of a single god of death, and the equivalent of an alien invasion of c'thulhu-esque type creatures turning normal people into aberrations like them
>Error: This image cannot be uploaded because it is the subject of a copyright infringement claim. Please refrain from posting it.
It's a plebbit cringe gayme written by women. Of course the mentally ill homosexual marketers will only talk about shitty sex scenes, and not about the shitty writing that leads up to them. Also total furhomosexual death.
You're abducted by Cthulhu people from another dimension who implant a tadpole into your skull. Said tadpole is their method of reproduction, Xenomorph style but more turning your body into one of them instead of erupting from the chest.
In order to find away to get rid of this parasite, you team up with others who have been infected. Who include but are not limited to: >An amnesiac Cleric that's devoted to an evil god but her behavior is suspiciously milquetoast compared to that god's belief system >A member of another alien, extradimensional race who hunts the monsters that infected you as revenge for them enslaving her race long ago >An abused vampire spawn who is rather enjoying the newfound ability to walk in the sun and enter households, an ability that the tadpole infection has granted him >A former archwizard who once was the lover of the goddess of magic, and in his hubris to impress her he was cursed with a ticking magical time bomb in his chest >A folk hero who made a desperate deal to protect innocents and those he cares about. Said deal granted him the power to do so but he made a deal with a devil who intends to collect his debt for her own machinations >A half-demon who has forcibly conscripted to fight in the endless bloodwar in the top layer of Hell, in the service of that layer's bloodthirsty archdevil. In order to make her a better fighter her heart was forcibly replaced with an engine that runs on hell magic and she desperately needs to fix it now that she's out of Hell
In the process of trying to cure the infection, you encounter a group of cultists that are trying to manipulate the tadpoles for their own nefarious intentions and the rabbithole continues to descend from there.
>You're abducted by Cthulhu people from another dimension who implant a tadpole into your skull. method of reproduction, Xenomorph style but more turning your body into one of them instead of erupting from the chest.
I was like is this for real? Then I looked up the final boss. Damn so you homosexuals are telling me that this gay looking is actually cool? I thought it was just going to be some nerd shit like the first two baldurs gay game, especially bg 2. First bg was actually kinda cool because it was basically a mobster story where you're being hunted down by a criminal underworld organization.
It will be forever impossible to make any remotely civil or intelligent thread about this game from this point forward, you must accept this. Just like Elden Ring, just like BOTW, just like Witcher 3.
It's a rpg in the style of dnd
Not an RPG
It is. Never once I had issues with lack of choices in my playthrough.
Mega cope
It's literally the most RPG videogame ever made
No, that's age of decadence.
RPG inspired by DnD mechanics. Throw dice for everything buckaroo.
Yeah but what's the premise? Like, in Dragon Age the plot is that you, a new recruit for an order of monster killers is in charge of uniting a land of various factions to lead a fight against the monster horde. That's pretty simple to understand.
Alien puts alien brain worm into your brain. You need to figure out how to get it out before you become an alien.
Along the way you learn that the alien brain worms are part of a plot that is way bigger than just you.
And this plot description is applicable to all of the game's acts?
Essentially. It leads to why the brain worms are a problem, who is making them a problem and what they get out of it, and ultimately how to solve that problem (it's harder than it sounds), but yeah, it's ultimately all about the fact that you've got a brain worm and that's no bueno.
Yup, why are you fishing for something here anon?

Why does everyone keep calling this game woke?
You literally have the option to have only heterosexual relationships
the male party members constantly try and take you behind the bushes and get you to suck their dick even when you tell them you're not interested
>just le kill them
the game doesn't give you anyone to replace them with
>the game doesn't give you anyone to replace them with
It literally does though. Take some corpses out of Wither's corpse factory.
>Why does everyone keep calling this game woke even though it has literal homosexuality in it?
Begone twitter zoomer
You literally have the option to avoid the homosexuality and bang women tho?
A woke game wouldn't give you such an option and would instead make it mandatory
>male invites you for a drink
>sure why not, who doesn’t like a drink with a companion
>starts trying to shove his dick in my mouth
>what the frick, I’m not into that
>he gets mad at me, I am now punished for not sucking his dick
That sounds hilarious. I can't wait to play it.
If homosexuality is all it takes to be woke, I'm sorry to tell you, but literally everything is woke now.
Especially anything made by japs since their games have had homosexuals since the 80s or early 90s.
>I'm sorry to tell you, but literally everything is woke now.
You're not rocking his world there, these homosexuals are terrified of their own shadows and think Black personmonsters are trailing them.
I dont think you know what the frick woke is. Having gay people is not necessarily forced propaganda. By this logic a lot of anime are woke.
gays existing without being in constant fear for their lives is propaganda
The fact I need mods to fix female faces, remove LGBT, change the gender of a lesbian into a man, etc to fix the game says quite a lot.
it says a lot about your fragile mentality
Squids xD
>le heckin spoopy h.p. lovecraft squids

You can also brutally murder everyone you dislike. A game with muh diversity is fine as long as you can deus vult.

>thus leading to the next bit of time dedicated to finding an expert in this field.
In other words, the DM has to cancel this session and do more prep work, exactly like I fricking said.
You can build upon the prep work you already had, or barring that you can use your knoldge of what region of Faerun your already to intuit where the wizards or scholars are.
Near Waterdeep? Their are plenty of those gifted in the Art there you can inquire with, or hell you can direct the players to Candlekeep which is an adventure in itself. In the East? Thay is right there, In the South> Go entreat with any Calimshan Nobles, some of them keep magic users on retainer if they can get them (Hell they even capture and enslave all elves because of their inherent magic nature) Or if their are basically any major cities near (which you should know because their adventuring in the area already) their will be Libraries and established Casters.
The only reason one would not have access to magic in a Forgotten realms Campaign is if your out in the boonies and even then it would still likely take the rest of the session to get to where the player want.
My point being that you can build off what you already have if you put any time and effort into the previously planned adventure beyond a straight railroad and by the time you need to plain again if your really need it their are stopgaps already in place..
Literally any sandbox or game creator. Writing a book. Actual D&D. Procedurally generated games. Story card games with RNG world building.
You are correct though, Baldur's gate is not what people are trying to pretend it is. The options are limited. Adding useless text choices and character interactions does not drastically change the outcome.
Plenty of games have multiple endings at this point and that shit sucks every time.
>Literally any sandbox or game creator.
None work on the scale you speak of.
>Writing a book
Not a game.
>Actually D&D
Not a video game.
>Procedurally generated games
All shit and empty. It will be a long time for procedural generation to become smart enough to write plots to play in.
>Story card games with RNG world building
Fricking what?
Anyway I don't even give a damn about linearity, linearity isn't inherently bad and nonlinearity isn't inherently good. I was making a point about the game does not make you frick the bear. That is literally all I was trying to say.
>Fricking what?
Google. There's card games that build the world as you go & it's easy as frick for the developers to keep adding options, choices and endings like that Slay the Princess game. You can take out or add cards you do and don't like, or flat out make your own. It's the easiest way to make up a procedurally generated table top experience.
There's also shit like Dungion.io. While the Ai stuff sucks, what you're trying to say can't exist is actually probably going to exist in a couple of years and be packaged in the from of some shit like Genshin impact. You will hate it. But at least you can ignore it and enjoy your baulders gate.
I never said it "can't exist", I said it doesn't and won't for a long time. LLMs like AIDungeon are not games, they're machines that spit words at you in a way that tries to act like a game.
Game needed to be open world with the same attention to detail the whole way through with a game space like three times the size of the current game, with the ability to go wherever and have everything respond accordingly if it wanted be be non-linear.
A good DM knows that their party can frick off at any time and competently derail the campaign by for example wanting to go join a background event that give things texture thus needing them to come up with other shit.
The game cannot do that so its linear.
If they game for instance let you upon hearing about The Blood War go "that sounds fricking cool, I'm going to make my way into the hells and use my newfound powers to join it!" and then had an entirely different adventure based upon that it would earn that tile much more.
Thank you. I did not have the patience to type this shit out.
The games linear. Who you frick along the way is meaningless.
>terrible, borderline braindead opinion
>anime avatargayging
every fricking time
Post physiognomy you fricking loser i bet your chins in your butthole
>tranime avatar
>shit take
it checks out
>discord troony terminology
You're even dumber than he is.
Making you aware that Belgium needs to be nuked.
It's a D&D campaign in vidya form
Overrated visual novel with dice roll for everything.
Something about brain parasites but all I know about it is that it’s “haha funny frick porno game” and sometimes you fight some goblins
i have more problems with the audience than with the game
>it's ok if it's my fetish
no you did schizo
you're the only one talking about the sex (which it barely has, sadly)
It's ESG propaganda.
Fricking idiot it's about a Gate to Baldur where you have to rescue a Bear & then you get to frick it
You're a balding gay, and you have to find three other, even balder gays
>the sex stuff
that's all people talk about because its all they care about, its basically a porn game you can get away with talking about publicly.
it lets you customize your dick right down to the foreskin.
>conventionally attractive
That's the thing, literally every character in this game is mid. They're all ugly. The men and the women.
On purpose. Character creator options are ugly. On purpose.
i haven't found it that way, i just find it funny they still felt the need to make sure you know that any character, even a demon, is a black person.
i guess to look more like a show or movie but it just takes you out of it.
sex, sexualization, and fanservice in games is ok if it panders to trannies and gays basically
I feel like very few people actually finished this game, but still say it's amazing. How can a game be good if it doesn't hook you till the end?
The people behind this game are actually Satanic, their sole purpose is to subvert traditional western morality.
>traditional western morality
which is what? raping and pillaging?
mindbroken
It's basically a gay fetish porn visual novel, the reason it's getting shilled is strictly because of that, most of the gaming community has been taken over by trannies and other kinds of degenerates so they shill this shit so they can poz you too
Weird, these was 0 gay content in my run. Are you sure you didn't just actively try to get assraped?
>Weird, these was 0 gay content in my run.
lmfao, sure thing
I don't actually want to judge it but now that you mention it I haven't heard a single thing about it besides Waifus and bear sex.
>I haven't been in any of the thousands of threads discussing the game and have never heard a single thing about it!
All those threads are discussing is how good it feels to have gay sex with animals
Yet you find yourself in every each one of those threads. Curious.
I'm only in the threads that shit on this troony game, troony
It's a half assed srpg with asystem of one the worst dnd editions ever made. That was in early acess for 3 years and still released unfinished.
It's heavily story driven to the point where gameplay could be removed and the same people who say they like it would still call it game of the year. also you can frick a bear like in modded skyirm.
RPG what else fricking dumbass
The game is about you saving
>Or dooming
Baldurs gate and I guess the parts of the sword coast you travel through to get there
Very dnd core expac, up there with the greats like NWN
Bestiality and degeneracy, it's not a real game.
its a gay sex simulator with tacked rpg mechanics
Shitty top down "classic" (aka outdated) style RPG. The gameplay is horrid. People like it for the story or some shit
Ganker in full cope mode. If you didn't think it would get goty you are a genuine moron.
okay I put 12 hours into to this on PlayStation so you can trust me.
you make a character from all the standard fantasy tropes, the player characters have been kidnapped by squid men and infected by a virus, some multiverse crap goes on (yes D&D has a multiverse who knew?) and you're dumped in to a field picking up party members and you're to decide who to trust about finding the best way to cure yourself of the squid men's virus before your brain grows legs and walks out of your skull.
It's about sex stuff and rolling dice to see if the sex stuff that happens is gay or not. Sometimes you fight things, but only if you don't want to have gay sex with they/them instead.
Basically you get infected with a parasite and need to go on a journey to get it removed, but along the way you find out the parasite let's you mind link with people and is part of a grander scheme of large impending doom
It is literally about getting brain worms
How good is necromancy in this game? Fun or tedious? I kinda craving a new game where I can manage minions and frick shit up.
Ridiculously OP.
Action economy is very powerful in BG3, but it can get a bit tedious with all the skellymen just shooting arrows turn over turn.
>What the hell is this game actually about?
It's about getting the perfect frog wife.
It's about subverting the west
this board has gone completely demented
everyone just parrots culture war/political talking points obsessively
(You) are the ones with gay sex and bestiality on your mind 24/7
99% of the people playing these games are just normal people, not trannies, not gays, just regular fricking people
get a fricking grip Ganker
>I haven't seen a single person talking about it beside the sex stuff
Because that is exactly what this woke trash is, a virtual porn novel with zero gameplay. Degenerated game journalists love this stuff.
is this porn
maybe
the whole personality of the game is its sexuality, just like the ocean of trannies vulturing Ganker and every video game space on the internet, they had too much firepower fans, now they will not stop talking about it and new LGBT nerd-based games and movies will start projects today, it will unironically get worse, but yeah TGAs are a meme in themselves, I mean Forza Motorsport won best racing game while The Crew: Motorfest is a thing, it's safe to say the terminally online transbian army won, even though they will never be women
To get rid of the parasite in your brain that will eventually kill you, then you find out about a conspiracy surrounding a cult that is going to take over the world.
Who just won GOTY?!
Got my ears to streets.
Why would we spoil it?
this is what I think of your troonySLOP GOYGAME
MAGA
MALDURGATE BTFO
You got a brain worm
Brain worm bad because it transforms people into tentacle monsters
Need to get rid of brain worm and discover who is behind brain worms getting shoved into everyone in the vicinity
It's about 3 gods associated with what was previously the domain of a single god of death, and the equivalent of an alien invasion of c'thulhu-esque type creatures turning normal people into aberrations like them
>Error: This image cannot be uploaded because it is the subject of a copyright infringement claim. Please refrain from posting it.
It's a plebbit cringe gayme written by women. Of course the mentally ill homosexual marketers will only talk about shitty sex scenes, and not about the shitty writing that leads up to them. Also total furhomosexual death.
You're abducted by Cthulhu people from another dimension who implant a tadpole into your skull. Said tadpole is their method of reproduction, Xenomorph style but more turning your body into one of them instead of erupting from the chest.
In order to find away to get rid of this parasite, you team up with others who have been infected. Who include but are not limited to:
>An amnesiac Cleric that's devoted to an evil god but her behavior is suspiciously milquetoast compared to that god's belief system
>A member of another alien, extradimensional race who hunts the monsters that infected you as revenge for them enslaving her race long ago
>An abused vampire spawn who is rather enjoying the newfound ability to walk in the sun and enter households, an ability that the tadpole infection has granted him
>A former archwizard who once was the lover of the goddess of magic, and in his hubris to impress her he was cursed with a ticking magical time bomb in his chest
>A folk hero who made a desperate deal to protect innocents and those he cares about. Said deal granted him the power to do so but he made a deal with a devil who intends to collect his debt for her own machinations
>A half-demon who has forcibly conscripted to fight in the endless bloodwar in the top layer of Hell, in the service of that layer's bloodthirsty archdevil. In order to make her a better fighter her heart was forcibly replaced with an engine that runs on hell magic and she desperately needs to fix it now that she's out of Hell
In the process of trying to cure the infection, you encounter a group of cultists that are trying to manipulate the tadpoles for their own nefarious intentions and the rabbithole continues to descend from there.
Oh and they all talk like Californians doing an ironic DnD youtube video
>You're abducted by Cthulhu people from another dimension who implant a tadpole into your skull. method of reproduction, Xenomorph style but more turning your body into one of them instead of erupting from the chest.
I was like is this for real? Then I looked up the final boss. Damn so you homosexuals are telling me that this gay looking is actually cool? I thought it was just going to be some nerd shit like the first two baldurs gay game, especially bg 2. First bg was actually kinda cool because it was basically a mobster story where you're being hunted down by a criminal underworld organization.
The game is very fun if you enjoy turn-based combat based on tabletop rules. If you don't like that type of gameplay then I'd suggest avoiding it.
>5E
>good
Nobody asked, 3.5autist
Both the TTRPG and CRPG communities have collectively forgotten you. How does that make you feel
?
Of course it's a seething owlgay, which doesn't prove anyone wrong.
?
You'll never pass, bro.
For video game purposes it is. Just kill everything the first round
so should i try this game? is it like diablo 4 basically but slower?
people on Ganker don't play video games
rollslop with gay bear sex, normalgays love it because of stranger things
Reminder that no one "turns into" an illithid. It absorbs the hosts memories and disposes of it when it enters the adult stage.
it's about gay sex but larian are based enough to give you the latitude to kill them all by default
It will be forever impossible to make any remotely civil or intelligent thread about this game from this point forward, you must accept this. Just like Elden Ring, just like BOTW, just like Witcher 3.
Superiority incites controversy.
Also TLOU
Goty is a curse. You make the best game of the year and this is what you get.
TLOU2 deserves it, that game was actual awardbait
A group of plucky misanthropic young adults are forced to team up and defeat God. It's a fricking RPG.
I can't even think of the last isometric RPG that I've enjoyed.
Why can't they just get with the times. Real time combat FPTP is the way to go.
>game keeps getting called "woke" despite the fact that Shadowheart's VA is a flaming lesbian and STILL did voice work for hetero romance
Shadowheart they do the “teehee you’re not my first but you’re my best” social conditioning rugpull
wow Larian are literal nazis forcing a lesbian woman to do her job
You're just outright lying or you're really spending all of your time on Ganker.
Because the main narrative is pretty weak
stop giant brain from taking over and having sex with the frog girl
