Why is the writing so bad?

Do these people not understand how continuity works? Feels like I'm playing a fan-written mod of a real game.
This is what you guys are holding up as the pinnacle of CRPGs? Pathetic.

as we all know, those are both IMPOSSIBLE to falsify and the company has no vested interest in bloating up those metrics anyway
The only good part about BG3 is the part where it's literally just D&D.
Everything it does on its own is just garbage.
As we all know you're butthurt. You lost, BG3 won in every way.
COPE, SEETHE AND DILATE SHITSKIN
>The only good part about BG3 is the part where it's literally just D&D.

This is what I was afraid of. Larian shoe-horning their own shit ideas from DOS1 and 2 into the game.
>as we all know, those are both IMPOSSIBLE to falsify and the company has no vested interest in bloating up those metrics anyway
So you're accusing them of what? Booting up 800000 computers with the game on it? Or paying steam to lie?!
Nobody cares about "writing" as long as they get to have romance scenes.
If you want better writing you have to play the Pathfinder games instead. Larian hire tween girls to do their writing apparently.
Haven't played the second one but Kingmaker's dialogue is ass, at least from what I saw of the first 5 hours.
pathfinder's dialogue made me quit the game 1 hour in. wrath of the righteous is better, although characters react nonsensically there as well. all crpgs like these have either bad/cringe or boring writing. for me so far BG3's writing is on par with WoTR, maybe with more swears than usual. no idea what people are making a fuss about as it' not really that unusual
Owlcat somehow manages to be even worse than Larian lol
pathfinder has horrific writing lmao what am I reading
nothing in BG3 has even come close to the inane bullshit constantly being spewed by half the cast of WOTR
My companions commented on him. Skill issue. In fact they've commented a lot more on events and dialogue than I expected with how much you gays have been whining about it.
It feels like a normal DnD campaign
Most of my DMs aren't that great at doing dialogue, same with most players
But that's what's sort of fun about it. The game feels true to life rather than trying to be cinematic and polished with its writing. Its flaws are what make it a bit endearing
>i-it's supposed to be shit! It's being ironic!
Holy cope
>dialogue choice comes up
>freeze up
>"AAAA TELL ME WHAT TO DO, NPCs!!! I HAVE NO MIND OF MY OWN"
do zoomers really
>Do you really want them to talk to you on every little encounter
No but I expect them to have an opinion on the monster who enslaved them, mind-raped them and inserted a living parasite into their brains thus condemning them to a painful death.
My companions are constantly chiming in. Do you really want them to talk to you on every little encounter
>Gale: "hey man dont kill him"
>wyll: "nah bruh kill that lil homie"
wow what a great difference that makes
No but the fact that you don't even have the option to ask them, if you want, it's pretty bad.
>should I kill this guy that brain raped us through our eyeballs?
Hmm I wonder what they would say
Yes let's add that to literally every single interaction in the game.
Never mind the fact that some of your companions will comment on him anyway and that they've gone out of their way to create unique scenarios and cutscenes depending on which companions are in your party when you enter new areas or speak with certain NPC's. Or how time actually progresses and content changes depending on the order in which you did things, or how easy-to-miss sidequests affect the main story, or how you can approach some quests in creative ways to completely change their outcomes.
homie you're not even an hour into the game, delete it and stop whining or play some more.
>Yes let's add that to literally every single interaction in the game.
All rpgs have it. I can't understand what is wrong or why it shouldn't be.
Even Fallout 4 has this for decisions in side quests or even unmarked events
I'm sorry anon but there is literally not a single RPG that has your companions chime in for every single interaction. Post one if you're so sure
Kotor
>Kill the mindflayer
>Shadowheart calls it a monster
>MC says good riddance
what the frick are you complaining about anon?
well he said they said nothing at all, so if anything you should be thinking his game glitched out
not op but nobody said anything about the mindflayer for me either
seems like it must be a common glitch then
they say it not in a cutscene and for some reason to you morons only cutscene dialogue counts
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Divinity have that?
They wouldn't ritualistically say something to let you know they're there, but if the character's invested in something they would speak up.
This happens extremely rarely in BG3, and it's usually when it's part of a character's personal quest, like Shadowchud getting a line in when talking about the Selunites or when you find the Shar temple.
I don't think I've heard Gale say 1 word without being asked so far.
Can't remember, but there is a part later where you meet a "good" mindflayer who tries to help you but none of the characters have any input. But there's a devil earlier where they're all like "don't deal with devils!"
It feels really unfinished and some parts feel like they forgot about them.

yeah i refunded this garbage, cant believe i wasted my time on it
Do you keep using the nautoloid after the tutorial or it's just a scene piece and you never touch it again?
It never stops burning. The trout population is surely affected.
In all seriousness the trailers reveal more than one nautaloid in the game
It's a tabletob game in video form not an immersive sim you moron.
You have a camp because you're past the introduction and in play mode now.
>You have a camp because you're past the introduction and in play mode now.
But I literally don't have a camp nor have I seen one or set one up. My character doesn't even know where they are since he just crash landed after dimension-hopping from hell.
Camps are a game mechanic.
>>find a wounded mind flayer on the ground, he tries to control me
wtf i was sure i explored that whole area and saw nothing of this sort
>watch cringe badly animated sex scenes and post bears on Ganker
here is your gameplay bro
I keep forgetting just how low IQ a lot of you fricks are.
I don't even know too much about DnD at all, in fact i would say i don't know shit besides dice roll shit and thats it, and even I figured out stuff almost instantaneously.
The camp is a fricking mechanic in the game, and you'd figure that out near instantly if you fricked around with your UI. You'd also realize your companions have something to say with literally anything, but guess what? you have to le gasp click on them to talk to them afterward. seems like a realistic thing implemented pretty well into a video game.
The ONLY thing I didn't catch on to was just how much advantage is important in DnD rules. I kept going for damage spells and skills, talked to a coworker about how the game is pretty challenging, then since he was an actual DM he told me about advantage and what not. I've since respec't everyone (something i also found out on my own very quickly, just didn't know if i'd ever need to use it), and now it's a lot more fair in combat.
you homosexuals really need to open a book and train your fricking brain ffs. I'm a highschool dropout who doesn't even remember how to multiply or divide anymore and i count with my fricking fingers, yet i can instantly pick up this shit. I might be stupid but i'm not an idiot. I also don't throw tantrums on Ganker when I can't figure something out quickly either. It's such an easy thing to do since you are anonymous, but it says a lot about you and your mental state.
>I'm too stupid to understand basic game mechanics without help
Nice tantrum but put that at the top next time so we can ignore the rest and save time.
>I'm a highschool dropout
im not a dropout but it seems like a lot are smarter than graduates, thats probably both a cause and a result of dropping out, school is really just meant to condition midwits and morons to work hard for the rest of their lives, smart people get no challenge unless they take the homosexual advanced classes full of insufferable nerd "autistic" morons so unless they do that they often end up flailing around helplessly after school because they've never had to try once in their lives and are suddenly thrown into a world of soulless wageslaving that only gets harder day by day as the economy and entire social fabric of the west shits the bed
dont ask how i know
Is there any backdraw to just spamming longrest after every fight except running out of camp mats?
Can you hardbrick your save by saving with only 1hp and no camp mats?
If that happens you're supposed to savescum and use one of the 25 older saves the game keeps for you.
There are some timed scenarios later on that need to be resolved before you rest or else you'll fail them
>touched the game for 30 minutes
>speedreads tutorial
>immediately goest oshitpost on Ganker - Video Games
and this is if you actually played the game. Either way being ironically moronic is still being moronic anon
>how do you know that turd tastes like shit? you only took one bite!
perhaps you ate poop for breakfast and now it has ruined your appetite
You're posting in a schizo thread

What's with BG3 and its ability to induce board-wide schizophrenia?
sometimes they make media products controversial on purpose while trying to make it seem ambiguous about which way it goes politically, that way everyone can potentially begin to get hype for it and invest all these emotions or want to be proven wrong about something so that they can get hype for it too, and then everyone ends up arguing about the ambiguity which results in them advertising the product themselves for free all while still product retains as large a consumer base as possible
Honestly could be passed off as a glitch though. That's why you don't buy games on day one because BG3 will have post game support coming
If you can't tell the writing is going to be bad just by looking at the characters in the front cover it's entirely your problem.
Larian just has ugly character designs. This was probably the worst thing about DOS:2 for me.
>Bot thread
this game is a much inferior ME1
i hate that situation you just described where my companions aren't really there but for fights
>Why is the writing so bad?
>Google Larian Studios

>millennial hires with pronouns everywhere with design/narrative/writing tags.
Keep giving those people money good consumer, surely gaming will get better.
he's just doing what's needed to survive in current year
chuds could learn a lot from his powerlevel hiding ways
Companions do interject from time to time but it's not as much as it should be because RPGs insist on full voice acting now (except for the character you're controlling, even if it's a companion, which makes it even more moronic).
The camp is just a camp that any adventuring party has. There wasn't any need to draw attention to it.
What is this copypasta? At least talk about the barbarian mary sue character not some autistic criticism of the self-insert RPG gameplay.
