The sexual stuff makes it live rent free in Ganker's mind. The streamlined nature of 5e makes it live rent free in tabletop nerd's minds. The fact there is nothing else really interesting out right now and every loser with too much free time making non-stop threads to complain about a game the have no intention of playing.
Because it isn't new so no one cares. Ganker only gives a shit about nitpicking on the newest thing. A thread for game from 2 years ago is going straight to page 10.
one reason for its popularity is its got a lot of novel value being a type of game which normally has nowhere the level of budget that it has, meaning the graphics, dialogue, and stuff in general is more fleshed out than anything else like it made recently
but yeah it doesnt seem that amazing. it seems kinda neat 4 hours into it with all the branching story lines, i started out as a paladin wanting to be holy, now all of a sudden im an oathbreaker who feeds off of evil or something and i happened to also rescue a goblin from a prison in a village and went deep into some goblin keep and am now leading an assault of goblins to destroy the innocent village
im new to the genre though and i have a feeling a lot of huge flaws will begin to become more and more apparent to me the more i play, ive seen weird things in the game that seem like bad game design and i feel like its foreshadowing me becoming increasingly disappointed with the core gameplay, probably mostly the combat or things relating to inventory and stuff like that
Because people love to pretend they've always been fans of things (CRPGs) and that the genre has had nothing for two decades until this "scrappy underdog" came around.
It's not "super woke". It's superficially woke.
It has some Black folk and gays but doesn't preach woke politics. There's no "muh evil men" or "muh evil whites" or anything of the sort.
>since when did you care about this shit while also posting on fricking Ganker
Can you imagine? lmao Muh “I only post on Ganker and /k/!” Again, the only way you will see degenerate content in BG3 is if you make degenerate choices - this is a reflection on you, not the game.
Don’t blame the cake on you eating it weak willed homosexual. If the gaypire hits on you, you can just instantly stake him and it’s over and very satisfying. You can also suck him off (if that’s more your thing) but it’s not the games fault if you choose to do that.
>"don't make degenerate choices" >you will only see gay content if you don't immediately kill every homosexual you see!

I mean you can just ignore them too - only the literal gay vampire tries to assault you and he tries to assault you from the start of the game - if you’re not into that the game gives you plenty of options to tell him to frick off in varying severity from “frick off” to “stake in the heart”
It’s very easy to not get hit on by male characters while still experiencing their story - is it easy to craft a Garrus or Wrex tier bromance with them? no
But are Gale or one eyed Black person Wyll really on your list of characters you’d want to be good bros with? If so you’re prob a little homoerotic to begin with.

You are totally full of shit. The game is successful because its a good game, not because it was “shilled” and this is coming from a literal national socialist. You are just an obnoxious homosexual.
>and this is coming from a literal national socialist

If you don't like BG3 why don't you stop talking about it? Maybe you are the one who can't stop advertising it for free?
If they're not marketers and they're not even playing the game then it's just for attention. Which is even more cringe. Ganker drops in quality so hard everytime a big game comes out, Just morons tripping over themselves to be part of the next tortanic.
Ganker is most interesting when it reacts to cultural trends, what are you talking about?
I'm not saying BG3 is some huge release but its obviously having a lot of impact because it's constantly being talked about.
>>No! No! NO!!!!! This game is shilled!!!! >Nobody is playing it! It's all bots!!!! >Why isn't Ganker full of webm's? >If people were playing the game Ganker would be full of webm's, right?
probably mostly false >oh! no! this game brings us closer to Sodom and Gomorrah!!!

yeah i guess lol >This game gives you too many options, I don't like it.
feels half baked at times. being a good paladin who doesnt break their oath seems pretty moronic and impossible >How is it possible that so many people play a turn-based game?
huge budget which others like it havent had at least in a long time and relative to the release date/inflation
Elden ring had the same narrative too, but I think that was closer to being organic becuase of devs shitting and pissing on twitter about how the game needed more waypoints and hand holding mechanics.
I am about to enter the Moonrise towers level 8. ive played for a long long time now and still not been to baldurs gate.
My understanding was that the city was massive and you would have an entire mega chapter in there and yet it feels like I am towards the end of the game?
There is no fricking way Im still in chapter 2 and the game is 3-4 chapters all the same size? Pls no spoiler
Game is OK, im enjoying it so far, but i HATE a few things about it: >no day/night cycle
it really frickin' hurts.
Especially as a Drow.
My LARP and Role Play go out the window without night in this game. >the map
i hate how the map works, i cant click on it to make my team go there, and it doesnt even show the "box" of what part of the map im looking at now. >combat
its just dogshit.
every time combat starts, i dont want to play it. >graphics
faces look ok, but thats it.
abandoning the 2D graphics that looked like a painting was a gigantic mistake. These ugly ass 3D graphics look just horrible.
>i hate how the map works, i cant click on it to make my team go there, and it doesnt even show the "box" of what part of the map im looking at now.
exploring with mouse and keyboard is a fricking pain.
i plugged in a controller and suddenly it felt like a totally different game, left stick makes you walk around and right analog stick lets you move the camera around all like a normal game except you can move the camera much farther up or down which i cant do with mouse and keyboard
with m/kb i cant directly control the character to walk them around, i have to click somewhere on the map. i cant seem to make the camera follow a player, i cant even click the minimap to make people walk somewhere. you have to constantly move both the player and the character and even if you could link them it would still be lacking the way i can control the character with the gamepad controller
what the frick is this shit? the game isnt even on consoles yet and they have this whole totally different control scheme for gamepad which is very fleshed out albeit has its own weaknesses when it comes to combat and inventory management as you would expect but thats because a mouse is just easier for that shit. but i cant control my character like this with mouse and keyboard. and switching between them requires pressing a button on the new input device and waiting for the game to freeze for a second and unfreeze
i dont prefer using a gamepad generally because the games where it doesnt gimp you too bad are too moronic for even me, but i dont see an excuse for why they would give a feature like that only when using a controller
you can pay russians and chinks/pajeets to shill your game for cents or you can hire someone good and will do it with bots
Larian did both of those options, you can see the bots answer and pajeets/russians answer when you shit on the game with actual reasons and they have no arguments
If you shit on gameplay and show them how bad it is they call you a zoomer and that's it
if you shit on writing they told you its just a joke bro, like in D&d in real life
I love how Ganker schizos are deluded into thinking this website is so influential that big games like bg3 have to spam on Ganker with bots and hired pajeets. As if any of the 800k concurrent players were poster on Ganker who were tricked into playing the game
It's funny because the exact opposite of this happened. The game is having an incredibly successful launch and the only place on the internet that has morons seething about it is a few fringe boomers on twitter and Gankertards who don't actually play video games
It's so convincing when you keep repeating the same key words over and over and over and over again and making a 1000 threads repeating them over and over and over again.
Totally not shilling. Just people liking the game and playing it.
Why are Chuds so mad about this game that they make 10 threads complaining that people are discussing it? I've never seen Chuds lose their minds as hard as they did about this game. Ultimate proof that both right and well mentally unwell troglodytes and probably absolutely disgusting people in real life it they waste their time on this shit.
This is almost as pathetic as the whining about Hogwarts Legacy. Almost.
The game is good. It’s not ground breaking and it’s not woke, like someone said it’s OPTIONALLY superficially woke here and there so libshits can’t kvetch (and think it’s actually their game - but it’s not).
It’s KOTOR or DAO 1 with better graphics + a decent enough multiplayer/co-op feature.
That’s it. That’s literally all it is. BUT gaming has become so pozzed and shit a KOTOR/DAO with no microtrans and mod friendly actually featuring decent enough story and gameplay is seen as a huge deal.
If you don’t support Larian and BG3 you’re literally a braindead drone - or a kvetching lazy gay from what passes as “modern game development”.
So far I’ve played through into act two and haven’t had to compromise to any virtue signaling to get by - the option to be gay doesn’t make the game gay, it makes you gay lol.
If you can’t stop yourself from fricking the male characters in the game that’s not the games fault.
Long and short is it’s DAO 1 with better graphics + more sex/better combat because 5e/no micro trans/mod friendly but modern gaming is so garbage this is seen as hugely innovative.
I didn’t even know Ganker was on the wrong side of this one before I came here but I’m not shocked tbh - current year Ganker would’ve hated Fallout 3 and NV by whatever moronic standard this is.
If you have actually played tabletop d&d (who was expected by the devs to be the core audience of this game) - it is massively better and rewarding combat.
It’s as close to 5E PHB as you could get in a game, it’s very well done. And with proximity initiative it’s literally as fast as TB combat can be - if you’d played the game you’d know that often turns happen simultaneously essentially.
>It’s KOTOR or DAO 1 with better graphics
And more content. You don't realize until a second or third playthrough how nonlinear it is, there's a lot of "decisions"
Yep the game is very good and very well executed - the only people who are actually mad are roasties and gays working on shit like Mass Effect 4 because their railroaded post-op “choose your own adventure” story with 3 options how you want to suck dick (but you will suck it) will now be compared to a game that gave you a few distinct choices multiple times that branched into significantly different story paths over time.
Ok bot. I know you’re so poisoned by whatever the frick programming you’ve drowned your brain in - but I just gave you a completely honest unbiased breakdown.
D4 campaign was ok, “endgame” is shit. S1 is a joke. D3 was a better game than D4. What badges of credibility do you need in this shithole to be taken seriously? lol
You homosexuals always asspull shit like this and never back it up with any evidence. Also, his point was clearly that they would be hated for being "woke", not for whatever (some) classic Fallout boomers were complaining about at the time.
Doesn't matter if it's optional. I don't want those options in my games. I'm not buying a full priced game where I have no choose to not play parts of it. Every year they add more and more of this degenerate stuff in games and every year you say "IT'S OPTIONAL". Am I just supposed to keep paying for games I don't even play because 90% of the content is OPTIONAL coomer shit.
Again as I said - their intended audience was people who have SOME familiarity with tabletop D&D.
If you’ve EVER played an actual campaign of D&D you know why those options HAVE to exist for it to feel like a “true” emulation of the game system.
There is ALWAYS a party member who tries to fight EVERYTHING, there is always a party member who wants to frick EVERYTHING, there is always a party member who wants to spend hours doing history and slight of hand etc bullshit to learn the local lords entire family history so he can pass a persuasion check and win without ever fighting anyone.
The fact the game is so emulative and allows those things to be possible is a testament to the passion of the project not a detractor.
Who is karlach? Is she the tiefling the paladins and wyll were hunting? I killed her on sight and got rewarded by the paladins. Currently at moonrise act 2, I don't really care to have a murderous hellBlack person on my team. I also stabbed astarion because he made gay advances on me

You make a decent point. Yes, the game is moronic and every character wants to frick you simply to appease the insane LGBT idiots, but at the same time you can kill any of them and there are no "protected" gay or trans characters.
It does suck that being a good guy means everyone at camp wants to frick you though, it turns the game into a shitty porn parody.
This is a valid complaint, yes. There are no Garrus or Wrex “bro” tier relationships and that definitely could have taken some more effort and polish,
It’s either acquaintances or frick buddies and it’s far too easy to accidentally trigger frick buddies and then your friend is mad because you didn’t let him rim you.
Actually valid totally legitimate complaint.
My only real complaint that doesn’t boil down to hey theres a frickload of weird sex shit is that theres no combat speed slider, goblin assault takes 20 minutes even if you immediately kill the drow leading them
actually valid complaint but compared to actual tabletop speed it’s 10-100x faster. A fight with 4 enemies in a 4 player party 5E PHB raw could literally take an hour+.
20 NPC fight in 15/20 minutes is lighting fast for the complexity tbh, but yes it is jarring if you aren’t prepared for it.
This sucks though. >If you don't like them you can just kill them
I don't like the writing, doesn't mean i'm satisfied playing as a rampaging homicidal maniac.
For a real question where are the evil companions? I already killed that drow b***h because I needed that Thang (worm) she had on her. karlach is a fricking homosexual and disapproves everything I say but laezel and astarion are aight
Baldur's Gate 3 is the video game experience of a lifetime. Real gamers need to stop wasting their time on games masquerading as RPGs, like Zelda and Final Fantasy and spend your hard earned money on a game like Baldur's Gate 3, a title that ups your gamer cred.
Remember to purchase Baldur's Gate 3 or you can't call yourself a hardcore gamer. Baldur's Gate 3 isn't just a game, it's a lifestyle.
I've been playing it a bit and I'm finding myself growing weary of all the "choices" that are just "are you a good character or an evil character" in nature. Western games have a kind of black-and-white thinking these days that I really dislike.
My only real complaint that doesn’t boil down to hey theres a frickload of weird sex shit is that theres no combat speed slider, goblin assault takes 20 minutes even if you immediately kill the drow leading them
OP, you're right on the money, mate! Baldur's Gate 3 is like a box of Kellogg's Raisin Bran, hyped up to the heavens, but in reality, it's just a bowl of soggy disappointment! Let me break it down like this: you know how when you see that tempting Raisin Bran box on the shelf, with those plump, juicy raisins peeking out, you think, "Oh man, this is gonna be epic!" But then you open it up, and the raisins are sparse, hidden like precious loot behind a sea of tasteless bran flakes? That's BG3 in a nutshell. The hype around BG3 was like that buzz you get when you finally manage to pour yourself a bowl of Raisin Bran with the perfect ratio of raisins to flakes. You're all excited, thinking, "This is gonna be the one! The best gaming experience ever!" But then, the moment you take that first bite, you realize the raisins are dry, and the flakes are bland, just like the repetitive combat and cookie-cutter quests in BG3.
Remember when you pour milk over your Raisin Bran, hoping it'll add some flavor to the mix? Yeah, that's what we all did with BG3 - we tried to overlook its flaws, thinking the gameplay would be the saving grace, but nope, it just became a mushy mess, like the bugs and glitches that plagued the game from the get-go. And don't even get me started on the false advertising! BG3's marketing was like Kellogg's advertising a "Super Raisin Burst Edition," only to find that it's just the same old blandness with a slightly increased raisin count. What a letdown!
Sure, there are some die-hard fans defending BG3, just like those who genuinely enjoy a bowl of Raisin Bran without sugar or any other fancy additions. But hey, to each their own, right? Still, that doesn't change the fact that BG3 left us craving a gaming experience that could compare to a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Lucky Charms - games that know how to deliver on their promises and provide an enchanting taste of adventure. But no, just fricking Kellogg's Raisin Bran. Frick BG so hard man.
It turns out, Larian has mastered the art of getting free marketing from chuds.
All they had to do was include a 30 second clip of a guy fricking a bear, which activated the parasites in the brains of chuds, causing them to devote their lives to crying and seething about it online.
And now that the free marketing from chuds/slaves has contributed to the overwhelming success of BG3, the chuds/slaves are melting down over it, impotently claiming that its success is due to shills. They still don't realize that they themselves are the shills LOL

Elden Ring and Cyberpunk are RPGs, no matter how much you cry about it. Action RPGs are as much a sub genre of RPGs and cRPGs are and frankly, I have no idea why you'd argue about Cyberpunk of all games. That game might be a buggy mess, but it's as oldschool as it gets in terms of its design philosophy. If Cyberpunk isn't an RPG, then neither is VTM: Bloodlines or Deus Ex.

This right here is why they are mad. They wanted games like KOTOR and DAO 1 dead. They take too much effort to put out and require actual humans to make them - not pink haired lesbian femoids and melanated diversity hires.
This picture says it all. Post Gamergate “game development” is afraid.
it's dos2 with dragon age tier cutscenes and a heavy heavy handed progressive gay agenda, and I quit dos2 in act 4. will be uninstalling. enjoy homosexuals
Both are bad. You are falling for influencer marketing because you are an idiot. It is noble that Larian has taken a stance against these practices, yes. It is only a smokescreen however, to groom players with progressive propaganda at a scale never seen before in video games.
Why do we pretend that Larian are the only guys out there not using microtransactions and battle passes? Elden Ring, GoW:R, TOTK, Hogwarts Legacy, Jedi Survivor, Remnant 2, Atomic Heart, soon Starfield just to name a couple of big releases from the last 2 years. Not one of them had MTX or battle passes... Do we really need to fellate Larian for doing what is completely standard for non-live service games?
Because is the most politically inspired game ever to be made that ticks every single esg box available and then some.
The political left absolutely loves it.
Meanwhile Tifa is still censored on youtube search bar after the unethical breasts debacle
Yes, I hate the political left and their iron grip over game development. They are destroying Western values with their prototypical left-wing economic policies such as

I smashed Kagha’s face in after she threatened to have a snake eat a kid, and then made her gypsy problem my problem and threatened to kill them all if I don’t fix it. She proceeded to tell her druids to kill women and children (which they did) - the game now blames me for this despite not doing anything besides killing Kagha before you could’ve found evidence that she’s bad and kill her (snake handling around kids and threatening genocide apparently aren’t big enough clues!)
All in all it’s a net positive, as far as I’m concerned i’m still lawful good (and as a bonus you lose all the worst companions + goblins are unironically more well mannered than the “good guy” NPCs)
Because it wasnt out. The huge spike in players is literally everyone that has been in the early access getting the game for free. The people playing is 5 years worth of retention being cashed in.
Politics
Some losers think this is what will subvert the chuds and change their ways or something
It's why you're seeing so many obvious false flags about it, they *need* you to be angry about it
Apathy is your best choice
Is this the new troony anti-bg3 cope? People arent posting spoilers therefore its not being played?

It's the truth based on observation
Never has this place ever given a shit about spoiling others so don't even try to claim otherwise
If the story and gameplay were good there would be a lot of discussion on builds, characters and lore
Hell, if it was bad there would be too but the complete lack of it leaves to the conclusion
This games just bland, which might make it even worse

>trying to be good to your companions so they don't betray you >they all take it as invitation for gay sex >I now need to carefully pick which dialog options I pick when talking to them
Because no game worked so hard for the min/max ESG score as this one.
It has literally every single aspect that would raise its value to the ESG and aladdin financial market.
And then it doubles down.
That is why every single weird depravity is being pushed by all media
Is there crafting in this game like there was in dos2? I have a shit ton of these seemingly useless items in my inventory, but id rather not drop them knowing how autistic dos 2 was with this shit
The real question that you should ask yourself is why did you feel the need to create yet another thread?
Baldur's Gate 3, mid?
Let me guess, you work for a AAA company... You will be unemployed pretty soon anyway after your CEO takes the billions of $ and runs. You opinion literally doesn't matter
BG3 is somehow even more pozzed than most AAAslop
I don't understand your point, try adding more buzzwords
He put it in pretty simple terms. BG3 is a pozzed piece of trash. What else needs explaining?
Actual skill issue
???
Nevermind, didn't know I was replying to a moron
Anon, anyone who unironically uses “pozzed” is a fricking terminally online moron. Like you.
>w-we at R*ddit don't use terms like "Pozzed"

Your dogshit is pozzed and you will never ever see business from me

No it isn't, homosexuals hitting on you isn't an option I can turn off

People who unironically use the term "reddit spacing" reveal they are just newbie election tourists and they should find somewhere else to go.
Half the replies to posts i’ve ever made are “reddit spacing” and I’ve been posting on this shithole website for almost two decades (and never had an active lessor account).
It really is something.
stop playing video games
Basically if you are getting pozzed shit happening in your playthrough it's your fault
filtered.
marketing campaign.
Dont worry theyll stop shilling it soon and start spamming about whatever slop gets shat out next
It's this. The shills took last night off and we could have actual discussions about the game without them shitting up the place.
The bear fricking thing was definitely the beginning of a viral marketing thing. Coombait Divinity with cut scenes is pretty fun though.
Wyyäää wäää mommy people like game im so sad wäää
>people like game
good one anon
The sexual stuff makes it live rent free in Ganker's mind. The streamlined nature of 5e makes it live rent free in tabletop nerd's minds. The fact there is nothing else really interesting out right now and every loser with too much free time making non-stop threads to complain about a game the have no intention of playing.
>5e makes it live rent free in tabletop nerd's minds
odd, i havent seen 500 threads b***hing about Solasta
Because it isn't new so no one cares. Ganker only gives a shit about nitpicking on the newest thing. A thread for game from 2 years ago is going straight to page 10.
Soooo same reason why you Black folk like the wircher 3? Gotcha
one reason for its popularity is its got a lot of novel value being a type of game which normally has nowhere the level of budget that it has, meaning the graphics, dialogue, and stuff in general is more fleshed out than anything else like it made recently
but yeah it doesnt seem that amazing. it seems kinda neat 4 hours into it with all the branching story lines, i started out as a paladin wanting to be holy, now all of a sudden im an oathbreaker who feeds off of evil or something and i happened to also rescue a goblin from a prison in a village and went deep into some goblin keep and am now leading an assault of goblins to destroy the innocent village
im new to the genre though and i have a feeling a lot of huge flaws will begin to become more and more apparent to me the more i play, ive seen weird things in the game that seem like bad game design and i feel like its foreshadowing me becoming increasingly disappointed with the core gameplay, probably mostly the combat or things relating to inventory and stuff like that
Because people love to pretend they've always been fans of things (CRPGs) and that the genre has had nothing for two decades until this "scrappy underdog" came around.
>woke games flop
>investors get worried
>super woke game is shilled to success
>investors can double down on ESG
It's not "super woke". It's superficially woke.
It has some Black folk and gays but doesn't preach woke politics. There's no "muh evil men" or "muh evil whites" or anything of the sort.
Yeah it only offers "optional" zoophilia
If that was in a game with no Black folk or gays Ganker would call it based.
since when did you care about this shit while also posting on fricking Ganker
>since when did you care about this shit while also posting on fricking Ganker
Can you imagine? lmao Muh “I only post on Ganker and /k/!” Again, the only way you will see degenerate content in BG3 is if you make degenerate choices - this is a reflection on you, not the game.
Don’t blame the cake on you eating it weak willed homosexual. If the gaypire hits on you, you can just instantly stake him and it’s over and very satisfying. You can also suck him off (if that’s more your thing) but it’s not the games fault if you choose to do that.
>"don't make degenerate choices"
>you will only see gay content if you don't immediately kill every homosexual you see!
bros... is Larian secretly based?
all gays are shallow bugchaser coomers, instead of normally behaving people
and the only way to deal with them is to eradicate them
it is very easy to be based and have hetero sex with elf women and not see a single gay ass, and the game doesn’t guilt trip you in the narration - so yes.
yes, you can avoid them by butchering the gays because anything else results in them staying coomer gays
BASED
I mean you can just ignore them too - only the literal gay vampire tries to assault you and he tries to assault you from the start of the game - if you’re not into that the game gives you plenty of options to tell him to frick off in varying severity from “frick off” to “stake in the heart”
It’s very easy to not get hit on by male characters while still experiencing their story - is it easy to craft a Garrus or Wrex tier bromance with them? no
But are Gale or one eyed Black person Wyll really on your list of characters you’d want to be good bros with? If so you’re prob a little homoerotic to begin with.

Sorry homosexual but it is objectively a successful game
that post was 4 lines and you failed to read past the first one
You are totally full of shit. The game is successful because its a good game, not because it was “shilled” and this is coming from a literal national socialist. You are just an obnoxious homosexual.
you still haven't gone back to read the 3 lines after the first one, moron
not this argument again
think 5 minutes before posting
>and this is coming from a literal national socialist
I don't understand, did you say this because you read that Ganker is a le nasty alt right website on the news and you want credibility in your post? You really are a tourist aren't you?

If you don't like BG3 why don't you stop talking about it? Maybe you are the one who can't stop advertising it for free?
If they're not marketers and they're not even playing the game then it's just for attention. Which is even more cringe. Ganker drops in quality so hard everytime a big game comes out, Just morons tripping over themselves to be part of the next tortanic.
Ganker is most interesting when it reacts to cultural trends, what are you talking about?
I'm not saying BG3 is some huge release but its obviously having a lot of impact because it's constantly being talked about.
>>No! No! NO!!!!! This game is shilled!!!!
>Nobody is playing it! It's all bots!!!!
>Why isn't Ganker full of webm's?
>If people were playing the game Ganker would be full of webm's, right?
probably mostly false
>oh! no! this game brings us closer to Sodom and Gomorrah!!!
true
>I played the game and my team was raped by a bear!
wouldnt surprise me
>In a couple of weeks it will be forgotten and no one will remember BG3
my impression of it so far makes me feel this isnt that far from the truth
>/misc/ was right!
yes
>Hitler was right!
yes
>troony game
sorta, most people could enjoy it regardless of political beliefs or anything, but its probably not even near worth $60 to most who would get some enjoyment from it
>This game is so good because it has been funded by ESG and blackrock
yeah i guess lol
>This game gives you too many options, I don't like it.
feels half baked at times. being a good paladin who doesnt break their oath seems pretty moronic and impossible
>How is it possible that so many people play a turn-based game?
huge budget which others like it havent had at least in a long time and relative to the release date/inflation
>this game is so GOOD it made other AAA studios MAD
this is one of the most obvious shill argument i've ever seen posted on this hellhole
Elden ring had the same narrative too, but I think that was closer to being organic becuase of devs shitting and pissing on twitter about how the game needed more waypoints and hand holding mechanics.
ERa situation would make more sense if everyone and their mothers wasn’t trying to ape Dork Souls in the last 10 years
You lost, it's a critical and commercial success.
Cope, seethe and dilate shitskins
>shilling works
Yeah we know. You aren't proving anything.
>Cope, seethe and dilate shitskins
are you paid to shill for nafo and bg3 the same time?
And of course it's a dvach tourist. Figures.
Don't spoil me please.
I am about to enter the Moonrise towers level 8. ive played for a long long time now and still not been to baldurs gate.
My understanding was that the city was massive and you would have an entire mega chapter in there and yet it feels like I am towards the end of the game?
There is no fricking way Im still in chapter 2 and the game is 3-4 chapters all the same size? Pls no spoiler
Can't tell if bait/shill post, but yeah, you're only about halfway through the game, maybe slightly less than halfway through the game.
There's a general on /vg/ for those kind of questions
Game is OK, im enjoying it so far, but i HATE a few things about it:
>no day/night cycle
it really frickin' hurts.
Especially as a Drow.
My LARP and Role Play go out the window without night in this game.
>the map
i hate how the map works, i cant click on it to make my team go there, and it doesnt even show the "box" of what part of the map im looking at now.
>combat
its just dogshit.
every time combat starts, i dont want to play it.
>graphics
faces look ok, but thats it.
abandoning the 2D graphics that looked like a painting was a gigantic mistake. These ugly ass 3D graphics look just horrible.
That is all i have to b***h about.
>i hate how the map works, i cant click on it to make my team go there, and it doesnt even show the "box" of what part of the map im looking at now.
exploring with mouse and keyboard is a fricking pain.
i plugged in a controller and suddenly it felt like a totally different game, left stick makes you walk around and right analog stick lets you move the camera around all like a normal game except you can move the camera much farther up or down which i cant do with mouse and keyboard
with m/kb i cant directly control the character to walk them around, i have to click somewhere on the map. i cant seem to make the camera follow a player, i cant even click the minimap to make people walk somewhere. you have to constantly move both the player and the character and even if you could link them it would still be lacking the way i can control the character with the gamepad controller
what the frick is this shit? the game isnt even on consoles yet and they have this whole totally different control scheme for gamepad which is very fleshed out albeit has its own weaknesses when it comes to combat and inventory management as you would expect but thats because a mouse is just easier for that shit. but i cant control my character like this with mouse and keyboard. and switching between them requires pressing a button on the new input device and waiting for the game to freeze for a second and unfreeze
>i have to click somewhere on the map
*on the ground
????? Are you actually moronic? I swear you controllergays are the lowest life form on this planet
i dont prefer using a gamepad generally because the games where it doesnt gimp you too bad are too moronic for even me, but i dont see an excuse for why they would give a feature like that only when using a controller
People are getting paid to do it.
>Baldchuds Hate
you can pay russians and chinks/pajeets to shill your game for cents or you can hire someone good and will do it with bots
Larian did both of those options, you can see the bots answer and pajeets/russians answer when you shit on the game with actual reasons and they have no arguments
If you shit on gameplay and show them how bad it is they call you a zoomer and that's it
if you shit on writing they told you its just a joke bro, like in D&d in real life
I love how Ganker schizos are deluded into thinking this website is so influential that big games like bg3 have to spam on Ganker with bots and hired pajeets. As if any of the 800k concurrent players were poster on Ganker who were tricked into playing the game
Yes there is no viral marketing on Ganker despite it being proven multiple times in the past.
Ganker is the most popular gaming site on the internet
Its le conspiracy and you are the first to notice, you are very special and chosen
It became political. Trannies took offense that some people didn't like it so now they shill it as much as they can even if they don't play it.
It's funny because the exact opposite of this happened. The game is having an incredibly successful launch and the only place on the internet that has morons seething about it is a few fringe boomers on twitter and Gankertards who don't actually play video games
It's so convincing when you keep repeating the same key words over and over and over and over again and making a 1000 threads repeating them over and over and over again.
Totally not shilling. Just people liking the game and playing it.
I'm sorry that you are braindead
>no argument
Could've just admitted it but that works too.
800k concurrent players in a niche genre, keep coping bro
Since when is goyslop a niche genre
Why are Chuds so mad about this game that they make 10 threads complaining that people are discussing it? I've never seen Chuds lose their minds as hard as they did about this game. Ultimate proof that both right and well mentally unwell troglodytes and probably absolutely disgusting people in real life it they waste their time on this shit.
This is almost as pathetic as the whining about Hogwarts Legacy. Almost.
It's unironically the player count that mindbroke them.
>Kino Kino
>Manufactured Soul
>manufactured trash
yep that's me alright
Liminal Slop
The game is good. It’s not ground breaking and it’s not woke, like someone said it’s OPTIONALLY superficially woke here and there so libshits can’t kvetch (and think it’s actually their game - but it’s not).
It’s KOTOR or DAO 1 with better graphics + a decent enough multiplayer/co-op feature.
That’s it. That’s literally all it is. BUT gaming has become so pozzed and shit a KOTOR/DAO with no microtrans and mod friendly actually featuring decent enough story and gameplay is seen as a huge deal.
If you don’t support Larian and BG3 you’re literally a braindead drone - or a kvetching lazy gay from what passes as “modern game development”.
So far I’ve played through into act two and haven’t had to compromise to any virtue signaling to get by - the option to be gay doesn’t make the game gay, it makes you gay lol.
If you can’t stop yourself from fricking the male characters in the game that’s not the games fault.
Long and short is it’s DAO 1 with better graphics + more sex/better combat because 5e/no micro trans/mod friendly but modern gaming is so garbage this is seen as hugely innovative.
I didn’t even know Ganker was on the wrong side of this one before I came here but I’m not shocked tbh - current year Ganker would’ve hated Fallout 3 and NV by whatever moronic standard this is.
>turnbased
>better combat
If you have actually played tabletop d&d (who was expected by the devs to be the core audience of this game) - it is massively better and rewarding combat.
It’s as close to 5E PHB as you could get in a game, it’s very well done. And with proximity initiative it’s literally as fast as TB combat can be - if you’d played the game you’d know that often turns happen simultaneously essentially.
>It’s KOTOR or DAO 1 with better graphics
And more content. You don't realize until a second or third playthrough how nonlinear it is, there's a lot of "decisions"
Yep the game is very good and very well executed - the only people who are actually mad are roasties and gays working on shit like Mass Effect 4 because their railroaded post-op “choose your own adventure” story with 3 options how you want to suck dick (but you will suck it) will now be compared to a game that gave you a few distinct choices multiple times that branched into significantly different story paths over time.
>and it’s not woke
Lol ok shill
Ok bot. I know you’re so poisoned by whatever the frick programming you’ve drowned your brain in - but I just gave you a completely honest unbiased breakdown.
D4 campaign was ok, “endgame” is shit. S1 is a joke. D3 was a better game than D4. What badges of credibility do you need in this shithole to be taken seriously? lol
>current year Ganker would’ve hated Fallout 3 and NV by whatever moronic standard this is.
Ganker was hating on F3 and NV when they came out newbie
You homosexuals always asspull shit like this and never back it up with any evidence. Also, his point was clearly that they would be hated for being "woke", not for whatever (some) classic Fallout boomers were complaining about at the time.
Doesn't matter if it's optional. I don't want those options in my games. I'm not buying a full priced game where I have no choose to not play parts of it. Every year they add more and more of this degenerate stuff in games and every year you say "IT'S OPTIONAL". Am I just supposed to keep paying for games I don't even play because 90% of the content is OPTIONAL coomer shit.
Again as I said - their intended audience was people who have SOME familiarity with tabletop D&D.
If you’ve EVER played an actual campaign of D&D you know why those options HAVE to exist for it to feel like a “true” emulation of the game system.
There is ALWAYS a party member who tries to fight EVERYTHING, there is always a party member who wants to frick EVERYTHING, there is always a party member who wants to spend hours doing history and slight of hand etc bullshit to learn the local lords entire family history so he can pass a persuasion check and win without ever fighting anyone.
The fact the game is so emulative and allows those things to be possible is a testament to the passion of the project not a detractor.
>there is always a party member who wants to frick EVERYTHING
No there isn't you moronic coomer.
If you killed Karlach your opinion is irrelevant
Who is karlach? Is she the tiefling the paladins and wyll were hunting? I killed her on sight and got rewarded by the paladins. Currently at moonrise act 2, I don't really care to have a murderous hellBlack person on my team. I also stabbed astarion because he made gay advances on me
dont listen to him, recruiting that b***h was my worst mistake
Based
>before I came here
yeah we can tell it's your first day here, predditor
I meant as in to the site - today - to see what people were saying about the game/memes/what people were playing, what options others chose that I didn’t that looked interesting or fun.
I’ve been on this site longer than your balls have been dropped zoomie.
>to see what people were saying about the game
and now you're crying about it and won't stop
>I’ve been on this site longer than your balls have been dropped
yeah that's why you double space between every sentence. not every paragraph, every fricking sentence
You can look at old threads and people on Ganker typed exactly like that lmao.
wrong lmoa
it was obvious that the game would be shit even without anyone telling me it would be shit. wanna know how I knew?
>I don’t care if my post structure annoys you
which is why you keep responding to me crying about it
Imagine giving a frick about confirming, oh wait I forgot I was talking to someone who won’t try a game because the internet told him it was >Le Bad!
I’ve never had an active registered reddit account in my life, I don’t care if my post structure annoys you.
scumbag r*dditor
I’ve never posted on Reddit in my life - you have a mental disease.
prove it
This was my first meme experience.
silly itoddler, all that proves is that you can go on knowyourmeme, not that you're not a plebbitor
You make a decent point. Yes, the game is moronic and every character wants to frick you simply to appease the insane LGBT idiots, but at the same time you can kill any of them and there are no "protected" gay or trans characters.
It does suck that being a good guy means everyone at camp wants to frick you though, it turns the game into a shitty porn parody.
This is a valid complaint, yes. There are no Garrus or Wrex “bro” tier relationships and that definitely could have taken some more effort and polish,
It’s either acquaintances or frick buddies and it’s far too easy to accidentally trigger frick buddies and then your friend is mad because you didn’t let him rim you.
Actually valid totally legitimate complaint.
actually valid complaint but compared to actual tabletop speed it’s 10-100x faster. A fight with 4 enemies in a 4 player party 5E PHB raw could literally take an hour+.
20 NPC fight in 15/20 minutes is lighting fast for the complexity tbh, but yes it is jarring if you aren’t prepared for it.
This sucks though.
>If you don't like them you can just kill them
I don't like the writing, doesn't mean i'm satisfied playing as a rampaging homicidal maniac.
Yeah, thought Gale was going to my bro but then he admitted that he wanted to frick me. That's what I get for being marginally nice to a wizard.
Doubt you've even played it.
Let's be real, most anons here never even heard of it until after release pfh, when the bear meme happened. All larping.
Seethe tendie
>mid
Kys homosexual zoomer
Mid, no cap fr fr? Deadass? On God?
For a real question where are the evil companions? I already killed that drow b***h because I needed that Thang (worm) she had on her. karlach is a fricking homosexual and disapproves everything I say but laezel and astarion are aight
Karlach is a chaotic good simpleton with an 8 IQ. You’re a dipshit who thinks tieflings are bad cuz devil horns lel.
You killed the best evil companion (and best pussy) in the game over a stat boost. Advise reload.
No I was just using karlach because she is a good character and I like her not because she is evil
I didn't know you could even recruit her. I started a fight in the sanctum and thought she was just another enemy I needed to kill lol.
Baldur's Gate 3 is the video game experience of a lifetime. Real gamers need to stop wasting their time on games masquerading as RPGs, like Zelda and Final Fantasy and spend your hard earned money on a game like Baldur's Gate 3, a title that ups your gamer cred.
Remember to purchase Baldur's Gate 3 or you can't call yourself a hardcore gamer. Baldur's Gate 3 isn't just a game, it's a lifestyle.
This but actually unironically.
The last good FF was 8 or 10, the last good Zelda game was OoT.
I’m sure Breath of the Wild seemed amazing to console babbies that didn’t play Skyrim on PC.
I've been playing it a bit and I'm finding myself growing weary of all the "choices" that are just "are you a good character or an evil character" in nature. Western games have a kind of black-and-white thinking these days that I really dislike.
My only real complaint that doesn’t boil down to hey theres a frickload of weird sex shit is that theres no combat speed slider, goblin assault takes 20 minutes even if you immediately kill the drow leading them
>Why is this mid game being shilled so hard?
biggest israeli product
includes every type of homosexualary
always thank Israel for ruining our world
what does "mid" mean, why is this new term being spammed everywhere?
It's a racist term used to disparage games. It stands for "middle east"
middling, average
It's zoomer talk
OP, you're right on the money, mate! Baldur's Gate 3 is like a box of Kellogg's Raisin Bran, hyped up to the heavens, but in reality, it's just a bowl of soggy disappointment! Let me break it down like this: you know how when you see that tempting Raisin Bran box on the shelf, with those plump, juicy raisins peeking out, you think, "Oh man, this is gonna be epic!" But then you open it up, and the raisins are sparse, hidden like precious loot behind a sea of tasteless bran flakes? That's BG3 in a nutshell. The hype around BG3 was like that buzz you get when you finally manage to pour yourself a bowl of Raisin Bran with the perfect ratio of raisins to flakes. You're all excited, thinking, "This is gonna be the one! The best gaming experience ever!" But then, the moment you take that first bite, you realize the raisins are dry, and the flakes are bland, just like the repetitive combat and cookie-cutter quests in BG3.
Remember when you pour milk over your Raisin Bran, hoping it'll add some flavor to the mix? Yeah, that's what we all did with BG3 - we tried to overlook its flaws, thinking the gameplay would be the saving grace, but nope, it just became a mushy mess, like the bugs and glitches that plagued the game from the get-go. And don't even get me started on the false advertising! BG3's marketing was like Kellogg's advertising a "Super Raisin Burst Edition," only to find that it's just the same old blandness with a slightly increased raisin count. What a letdown!
Sure, there are some die-hard fans defending BG3, just like those who genuinely enjoy a bowl of Raisin Bran without sugar or any other fancy additions. But hey, to each their own, right? Still, that doesn't change the fact that BG3 left us craving a gaming experience that could compare to a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Lucky Charms - games that know how to deliver on their promises and provide an enchanting taste of adventure. But no, just fricking Kellogg's Raisin Bran. Frick BG so hard man.
It turns out, Larian has mastered the art of getting free marketing from chuds.
All they had to do was include a 30 second clip of a guy fricking a bear, which activated the parasites in the brains of chuds, causing them to devote their lives to crying and seething about it online.
And now that the free marketing from chuds/slaves has contributed to the overwhelming success of BG3, the chuds/slaves are melting down over it, impotently claiming that its success is due to shills. They still don't realize that they themselves are the shills LOL

Still insane numbers
You’re right you got me, I’m becoming them I’m enjoying the seethe and moronation too much.
It's statistically early morning for most players moron.
Bg3 broke 800k peak the other day(completely unprecedented for an RPG), and i wont be surprised if it breaks
900k this weekend. It is objectively a massive success and it will be setting a new standard, creating new markets for choice and consequence RPGs.
Inb4 shill, you obnoxious weaboo homosexual
>completely unprecedented for an RPG
For a CRPG. Not for an rpg moron.
Give me one RPG in the last 5 years that has a higher record than BG3. I’ll wait.
Since im just “shilling”, it should be easy for you to find.
Cyberpunk and Elden Ring
>hurr durr those aren't RPGs
Yes they are.
Oh you're that underage person who's been posting cringe on /bgg/. You aren't getting any replies for a reason, go away.
Correct, neither of those are RPGs. Cyberpunk was a massive failure, so much so that sony took it off their store. Bg3 is about 10k away from overtaking their peak(a game you claim is failing) and elden ring isnt an rpg its an open world hack n slash looter.
So again, give me one rpg in the last 5 years that has a higher record than baldurs gate 3. Still waiting.
I already gave you 2. You not wanting to admit that they are RPGs doesn't really change anything. They are literally labeled as RPGs by Steam, every reviewer calls them RPGs and everyone playing them sees them as RPGs. The guy you were arguing with already conceded to you that BG3 did indeed break records for cRPGs, so if only cRPGs are actual RPGs for you, why did you even ask that someone would name other non cRPG RPGs?
>i cant name any rpgs that have done better than BG3
Ok, glad you told the truth. BG3 Is a successful game, whether you want to admit it or not.
yes it's successful it's just evil
Elden Ring and Cyberpunk are RPGs, no matter how much you cry about it. Action RPGs are as much a sub genre of RPGs and cRPGs are and frankly, I have no idea why you'd argue about Cyberpunk of all games. That game might be a buggy mess, but it's as oldschool as it gets in terms of its design philosophy. If Cyberpunk isn't an RPG, then neither is VTM: Bloodlines or Deus Ex.
Appealing to looter shooters wont save you, keep coping because bg3 is breaking records. Cyberpunk is a copy paste GTA V and a dead game. It died on launch. Elden Ring is an open world mmo. Both of which have less people playing it than baldurs gate 3.
>Elden Ring is an open world mmo
Thats correct. Elden Ring is an mmo, you tranime homosexual.
I've never played an MMO with drop-on-death exp, stat modifiers that you dump points into, and real-time combat that relies heavily on collision timing and parrying/blocking mechanics. Elden Ring is really inventive for an MMO.
Okay. Glad you enjoy your mmo.
>Bg3 is about 10k away from overtaking their peak
What are you talking about? Cyberpunk had a concurrent player peak on Steam of 1,054,388. BG3 from its peak was 200k short of that.
>last 5 years
Imaginary goalpost. Skyrim, The Witcher 3, Mass Effect, etc. exist and Starfield is coming up. Imagine being this moronic. Literally nobody except you shares your opinion on this board, you just read somewhere that bg3 doing well for crpgs, but you extraploated incorrectly and forgot that it doesn't applies to RPGs which are one of the most popular genres of all time, so you failed at fitting in. homosexual.
Witcher 3’s all time peak was 100k. Baldurs gate 3 is 800k, so they completely smashed witcher
Skyrim is more than a decade old
You are automatically assuming that Starfield(from the makers of fallout 76) will be good
Bioware is a dead company that only employs blue haired troons, the new mass effect will fail just like andromeda
Im starting to think that its actually you whos the shill, and youre butthurt that the game is doing well.
Witcher 3 came out at a different time. Back in 2015 people wouldn't fall as much for fomo and hype as they do now. Witcher 3 sold 50 million copies by the way. Good luck to BG3 to come anywhere close to that.
Fallout 4 peaked at 471k concurrent players despite being a launch on multiple platforms. You are actually the most delusional person on Ganker for thinking bg3 is special for general RPG launches.
>Fallout 4 peaked at 471k concurrent players despite being a launch on multiple platforms
And baldurs gate 3 so far has peaked as 810k. So its almost double fallout 4’s peak. Thank you for your input, resident imbecile.
BG3 only launched on steam frickwit. Console audience is larger than PC audience. I'm convince now that you're just trolling.
Especially considering you are focusing on this when 800k is fricking unheard of numbers for a CRPG game.
I think you need to go sit down, im pretty convinced im talking to a literal ape that cant comprehend sentences.
And you're a moronic underage zoomer who just discovered vide games. Here's most likely what I've pieced together happened: you saw the threads that were popping up a few days ago where anons were talking about how 800k concurrent is ridiculous for a CRPG, you saw those threads, and now you're trying to fit in by repeating the narrative. But you don't know what a CRPG is so you just simplified it in your mind to "RPG" and now you're fighting tooth and nail to defend a premise that literally doesn't make any sense (that bg3 is somehow special or breaking new ground for RPG launches).
>BG3 only launched on steam frickwit
For now. DivOS2 came to consoles eventually and BG3 will too.
I don't know if you've been paying attention but BG3 pre-orders are exceeding even fricking Madden on the Snoy store
>It is objectively a massive success and it will be setting a new standard, creating new markets for choice and consequence RPGs.
This right here is why they are mad. They wanted games like KOTOR and DAO 1 dead. They take too much effort to put out and require actual humans to make them - not pink haired lesbian femoids and melanated diversity hires.
This picture says it all. Post Gamergate “game development” is afraid.
It's D&D, a game mainly played by no-lifers, considering that main part of the vidya demographics are no-lifers it was bound to get popular.
>D&D, a game mainly played by no-lifers
D&D is the absolute normalgay game, so I don't know what are you about.
>larianshit
Just play Pathfinder.
Should I buy this game? I haven't finished Original Sin 2 yet
Divinity is still a lot of fun, this one is darker and a bit slower combat wise I'd say
>Divinity is still a lot of fun
how can you just blatantly lie like that? how do you even sleep at night?
it's dos2 with dragon age tier cutscenes and a heavy heavy handed progressive gay agenda, and I quit dos2 in act 4. will be uninstalling. enjoy homosexuals
gay sex +1000 ESG points
why do you shill for multi-million dollar companies that nickel and dime you with tired old battle passes and macrotransactions?
Both are bad. You are falling for influencer marketing because you are an idiot. It is noble that Larian has taken a stance against these practices, yes. It is only a smokescreen however, to groom players with progressive propaganda at a scale never seen before in video games.
Why do we pretend that Larian are the only guys out there not using microtransactions and battle passes? Elden Ring, GoW:R, TOTK, Hogwarts Legacy, Jedi Survivor, Remnant 2, Atomic Heart, soon Starfield just to name a couple of big releases from the last 2 years. Not one of them had MTX or battle passes... Do we really need to fellate Larian for doing what is completely standard for non-live service games?
I knew dos3 was gonna be gay but holy SHIT!
its fun
wait till you See the punchline
Because is the most politically inspired game ever to be made that ticks every single esg box available and then some.
The political left absolutely loves it.
Meanwhile Tifa is still censored on youtube search bar after the unethical breasts debacle
OY VEY DELETE THIS RIGHT NOW
what?
>The political left absolutely loves it.
lolno
Chuds and woketards both hate it. Only sensible people like it.
>sentence starts with yeah, no
stopped reading there
only homosexuals talk like that
Yes, that is the point.
Yes, I hate the political left and their iron grip over game development. They are destroying Western values with their prototypical left-wing economic policies such as
*checks notes*
Polyamory and zoophilia.
glad that you understand it
since a direct attack against an enemy is not allowed, you create many different means of disruption
Left-wing beliefs also involve social-dynamics as well. Are you being dishonest?
>play paladin
>get a quest to get some dead innkeeper woman's diary so a drow can summon her soul and confront her about her crimes
>find diary, go back to drow, tell him as a paladin i'll be the judge of her crimes and start interrogating her
>"yes, i did in fact snitch on my friends to Shar's Dark justiciar's for drunkenly complaining to me about random inane shit, and watch as the justiciars ordered them to stab themselves in the guts until they died. But i feel weeeeeelly weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllyyy bad about it :("
>"Well there you have it, written in your diary and straight out the horses mouth. You are guilty"
>become an oathbreaker
>mfw
Bravo Larian
What were you expecting? The people who made the game have no concept of morality and justice, obviously they can't make a righteous paladin work.
Just stay true to yourself my guy.
I smashed Kagha’s face in after she threatened to have a snake eat a kid, and then made her gypsy problem my problem and threatened to kill them all if I don’t fix it. She proceeded to tell her druids to kill women and children (which they did) - the game now blames me for this despite not doing anything besides killing Kagha before you could’ve found evidence that she’s bad and kill her (snake handling around kids and threatening genocide apparently aren’t big enough clues!)
All in all it’s a net positive, as far as I’m concerned i’m still lawful good (and as a bonus you lose all the worst companions + goblins are unironically more well mannered than the “good guy” NPCs)
>my guy.
why are you such a homosexual?
Those demon sown get really pissy after you save them later and they die anyways, so you dodged a bullet
How come nobody cared about this game until a month ago? It’s literally been out for like 5 years now
Because it wasnt out. The huge spike in players is literally everyone that has been in the early access getting the game for free. The people playing is 5 years worth of retention being cashed in.
The game is textbook israeli subversion. It is simply a fact. That's it's only purpose.
Your post is textbook /misc/tardation. It is simply a fact.
it doesn't even matter honestly. it's over, videogames are dead. maybe I'll pick up gardening or something.
True
Nope. I never post on that board
Truth
The industry is due for another 80's tier collapse
Triggered balding millennial
Politics
Some losers think this is what will subvert the chuds and change their ways or something
It's why you're seeing so many obvious false flags about it, they *need* you to be angry about it
Apathy is your best choice
Not even going to pirate
its just dos2 but gay. you're not missing anything.
I figured, I can't believe how many normalgays and shitskins got actually connend into buying this game with bear sex
>noo this game cant be doing good! no!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Considering how little actual game discussion goes on, I'm inclined to believe people aren't playing it for the game itself
Is this the new troony anti-bg3 cope? People arent posting spoilers therefore its not being played?
It's the truth based on observation
Never has this place ever given a shit about spoiling others so don't even try to claim otherwise
If the story and gameplay were good there would be a lot of discussion on builds, characters and lore
Hell, if it was bad there would be too but the complete lack of it leaves to the conclusion
This games just bland, which might make it even worse
I'm busy playing the game, but not busy enough to not call you a Black person
>trying to be good to your companions so they don't betray you
>they all take it as invitation for gay sex
>I now need to carefully pick which dialog options I pick when talking to them
It's funny how one of the main shill lines before release was that "you're not going to get hit on by gay dudes"
samegay
Because no game worked so hard for the min/max ESG score as this one.
It has literally every single aspect that would raise its value to the ESG and aladdin financial market.
And then it doubles down.
That is why every single weird depravity is being pushed by all media
I want to be raped by astarion
the inventory system makes me want to vomit but that's about it
>mid
Zoomer, you should go back
Is there crafting in this game like there was in dos2? I have a shit ton of these seemingly useless items in my inventory, but id rather not drop them knowing how autistic dos 2 was with this shit
It's funny how the black guy is the only non-annoying companion so far.
