    Adding words to your dialogue isn't a replacement for engaging dialogue. BG3 is a better game precisely because its not verbose diarrhea.

      BG3 is full of verbose diarrhea what are you on about? It comprises of at least 30% of the game time if you listen to the voice lines fully. There's a literal [Performance] Fart. option in the game. lol

      I've only played Kingmaker so far (waiting on last wotr update) and while the writing wasn't anything special it takes a fat steamy dump on BG3's writing.

        Also this is the path where you get a meta joke about accepting help from an order of Dragon Disciple Paladin Eldritch Knight Bards. If you wanted good writing you should have gone Angel.

        Kingmaker is WAY different than WotR. The writing in Kingmaker was immaculate, literally EVERYTHING comes together in the end. No element was wasted. Wrath's writing is shit compared to Kingmaker.

            Hell no it's not
            That update is going to include extra feats (including mythic ones like armor or ascendant poison), and it comes at the same time with the DLC
            After that there is still the final DLC (the citadel-like one) and there are no doubts that they'll keep patching bugs even if they don't release more DLC

              Debatable. Kingmaker still has unpatched bugs anyone can easily encounter. Not to mention all their attention will be on Rogue Trader from now on.

                That's a shame. Still, I think it's reasonable to expect them to pull everyone to work on fixing Rogue Trader bugs and leave WotR on the back burner for a long while.

                It doesn't. It's nowhere near RPGs such as Pillars of Eternity or WotR. The only reason BG2 is appreaciated is the modding scene. Without Tactics and Ascension no one would even remember this turd that has no roleplaying depth since none of your character building decisions influence anything outside of combat with the sole exception of stronghold. Heck, even at the time of its release it was never considered as a game with good roleplaying depth since Fallout with its myriad skillchecks had already been released and BG1-2 were ALREADY obsolete as RPGs since they had no skillchecks.

    I hate most of the modern CRPGs. They're wordy as frick which isn't a problem in itself but they're wordy and terribly written because the writing team consists of some californian c**ts who have never opened a book in their lives, Obsidian is the most guilty of this. More CRPGs should be 100% voiced like BG3 if only because it puts some restraint on the moronic writers writing bazillion words of nothing.

    With these 24/7/365 Owlcat threads on Ganker the /vg/ general must be absolutely enormous. This shit gets more action on Ganker than Elden Ring ever could. I should buy this, sounds like some kind of avant garde masterpiece.

    Must be nice being a mod and work for Owlcat at the same time. Comfy.

            Yes I do like Pathfinder, I have also played BG3. I was very disappointed. Act 1 is fun but after the goblin camp everything falls apart. Act 2 felt wide but empty. Act 3 felt like a cluttered mess, where Swen ate taco bell the night before and unleashed all hell from his bowel. It was even confirmed before the magical mirror that people were constantly rerolling to change their character, or that people are constantly making new characters for new classes. If a game isn't good from beginning to end it simply isn't a good game.

              I mean to be fair the same thing happens with Pathfinder

                I simply don't understand how people can so quickly get bored of a character they, themselves made. I can understand wanting to try new classes but constantly rerolling to change the look of your character? What bullshit is that.

                I don't care about that, maybe you just think your character looks ugly. God knows mine looked like a wrinkled old frick because I thought his skin was too smooth in character creation, and back then there was no way to respec your appearance

    Is it normal for the competence bonus from lethal stance given by a skald to not appear in the combat log?
