When does it get good?
>>724306229Most astroturfed and fotm westslop ever. Besides kcd2.
>>724306229About level 5 when you're fighting through the underdark.
>>724306229At the start.
The first act is a 200 hour demo
>>724306229Start screen
>>724306621>>724306623>>724306501How
>>724306229
>>724306229After you press "Play"
When you finish pre-rendering meshes.
>>724306229When you switch it off, turn 360 degrees and walk away from it.
>>724306623this>>724307958What do you mean how? If you want to have fun, then pick an Origin character instead of scrutinising the character creation. Then you'll be having fun right away.
>>724308717Then you're just walking towards it
>>724306229After you install the sex mods
>>724306229Act 2Then it goes back to being bad in act 3 and you probably won't even bother finishing it like 80% of it's playerbase
>>724306229That's the thing, it never does. Best it can do is okay
>>724306229>Had an Early Access years before launch>No DRM so can be easily pirated>Game launches as a massive success even though during EA everyone knew it would be>Years later /v/ still seethes.
>>724307958"Start Game"
>>724308868There are coomer mods? Where?
>>724306229As soon as the frog lady tells you to Taste
>>724306229if you are looking for a game where you can just fuck around and occasionally go>haha that was a funny thing that just happenedthen right from the startotherwise i wouldn't bother
>>724309762It's nowhere near the level of Skyrim or The Sims yet. Still pretty basic "activate X animation" between your character and whatever NPC you come by in the game.
>>7243098615 hours in and haven't found a funny thing that happened.I don't mind wordswordswords "games" but the dialogue needs to be at least intriguing
If you don't like it by the goblin camp, it's not for you
>>724309864>yetThe modding scene of the game has died already
>>724306229>when does it get goodit doesnt.in fact, it gets worse the more you play - 90% of the game content is shoved into Act 1. pro tip:>you can shorten the game by telling the british gay mage to kill himself in act 2>roll credits
>>724310165>23 minutes ago>3 hours ago>4 hours ago>8 hours ago>9 hours ago>10 hours ago>12 hours ago>13 hours ago>15 hours agoWhat are you talking about "died already"?
>>724309861>haha that was a funny thingthere was nothing remotely funny in the whole game, most of it was just pure reddit cringe.
>>724310182>90% of the game content is shoved into Act 1.The more detailed content is in Act 1 for sure, but it's mainly because they kept adding to it during EA. Act 3 was a shock though given how large and detailed it was, and even had cut content.
>>724310271>act 3 >content>detailedXD
>>724310339nta but it's pretty damned detailed.it was a bit too overwhelming to me and I had to take a break before going back to it.
>>724310339indeed, it has loads of it. unfortunately you're capped by the time you've done half of it
>>724306229>Tutorial boss that is designed as a supposed to lose fight can be defeated and his cool flaming sword stolen>The stupid brain jars in the tutorial can be hoarded and used 100 hours later>Rescuing the little brain fella will let you recruit him as a familiar down the roadThe game is kino from the very beginning
>>724306229>When does it get good?it doesnt, its one of the worst isometric RPG's ever made.
>>724310453at least try to make your lies believable
>>724306229When you press play.
First playthrough is going fine, playing as Dark Urge Tav. No metagaming, just letting the dice land as they will, and I'm having a good time. I need a reliable source of detect invisible for the coin vault fight.
>>724310253>>724310115Why don't you fucking lamers do something funny instead of asking to be entertained like a baby. When the Nigger shows up in your camp, you can kill him and stuff him in a box. Did you do that?
>>724306229tranny game.
>>724310403>having to carry every single gizmo you find because it might be useful later>"kino"this board is so fucking retarded
why do people say act 3 is bad, just got there and it feels there's endless stuff to do, the city is huge as well
>>724306229ImmediatelyThe characters however? Never
>>724310453even if BG3 was bad which it isn't, Sword Coast Legends exists (even if they took it down from sale) as well as the newer Pools of Radiance
>>724310615>why do people say act 3 is bad, just got there and it feels there's endless stuff to do, the city is huge as wellThose aren't people, and they're normalfags. You should not even consider their opinions. Would you believe that most of this board is normalfags? Because they are. You can disregard almost everything you read.
>>724306229>when does this woke reddit cringe get good?
>>724310595>he doesn't keep the owlbear plush fake gamer
>>724310615Some people played Act 3 around release before patches, and it had no shit actual really bad performance issues. So 100% understandable for those.A few others are just shitposters or actual schizos who never played it and are just parroting earlier stuff.
>>724310615Well Newfriend, as someone who has been on this board for 20 years I will tell you that "the first part is good but the game gets bad later!" is a very popular critique for grifters and e-celeb worshipers of any game because it's a critique that can only be debunked by actually playing the game.
>>724306229Act 1 is the best paced and fulfilling act in the game so if it doesn't grab you then and you aren't enjoying the combat might as well dip, chiefAct 2 has an absolutely shit mechanic to the point where outside of the occasional "for funsies" even the most eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil playthroughs still free the Pixie because the Shadow Curse is so fucking gay and the game will enter turn-based mode if a character steps one foot into darknessthey also gutted a lot of the nastier emotional interactions from EA, like you could originally joke about Astarion and Cazador(something like "Didn't know you wanted a Master in the bedroom.") and he goes nuclear on youprobably because it was "le too real :("Act 3 is paced like a pile of shit shat in a shoe
>>724310615Too much cut content
>>724310615>>724310672>why do people say act 3 is badbecause act 3 is a blatantly unfinished piece of shit that was obviously supposed to be in act 1, but the game was cut up to pieces and then glued together 500 times before they released it, and it shows. i played it right after release and it almost made me rage quit, i honestly dont care if its better now or not.
Check the filename of the screenshot I just took. This not an old screenshot. Where are the posts? I got rid of them to show you that the opinions of the NPCs don't matter. If there was an image, then it got filtered. Everyone please continue posting your very important opinions.
>>724310897the game is already fucking 100 hours minimum without already knowing how to quickly get through everything.if anything, they didn't cut enough of the game. they probably should've split it into a few games like BG1+BG2+TOB rather than all into a single game.
I found it to be worse in almost every way than Divinity OS 2And I never finished Divinity 2Also the companions are modern quirky chungus redditors
it's crazy how buggy the game still is>go to the harpies behind the gay druid grove in act 1>pretend I'm charmed by the harpies and kill the shitty tiefling kid>check quest log: "we rescued the child, he is alive and well">reload >let the harpies kill the kid>check quest log: "we rescued the child, he is alive and well"
>>724311170We could have had an even better game if it wasn't for JotC being complete dick sniffers.
>>724311070bg3 is a 30 hours game tops, the braindead combat that just goes on and on and on makes it 100+ hours. every time a new combat started i just sighed audibly and prepared for another 5-20 minutes of wasted time clicking haste and whatever AOE spell i had.
>>724311261At least make your lies believable shitposter-kun
>>724306229>erm here's a perception check to get into the thief children's lair>oh you passed it? come in!>oh if you come in though you're locked out of a quest and everyone hates you :) yes even if your class is rogue and you pick the [Rouge] Option and Pass a skill checkshit game
>>724311280>its liesprove it.
BG3 Feels way too overwhelming Act 1 has too much shit in it the Underdark all the stuff above and everything it burns you out even before Act 2 thats a problem desu
>>724311261BG3 100% cannot be beaten in 30 hours without prior knowledge of the game and very light speedrunning shit.
>>724311482I never even found the act 1 underdark in my first and current run.
>>724311482>BG3 Feels way too overwhelming Act 1 has too much shit in it ????????act 1 is borderline empty.how many NPC's are there in act 1? the couple druids? and a gobbo?are you kids overwhelmed with a few talkable npcs and 3 tiny dungeons in act 1?jesus fucking christ no wonder modern gaming is in such pathetic state.
>>724311592how
>>724311482It's actually why I prefer stuff like Owlcats and Obsidian's stuff (and the older BGs) because it's a whole lot of smaller maps.I think Larian due to their CEO is aiming for a more "Ultima" thing with huge maps to explore, but its' overwhelming for me and I only watched friends play the Ultima games without playing them myself
>>724311482there is hardly any content in this whole game to begin with, it feels like a romance sim and they forgot to add anything else.
>>724306229I just started playing it this month for the first time and it had me from the start. In act 3 right now and i dunno why people hate act 3 it seems fine for me. The preformace in baldur's gate is kinda shitty but my computer is a toaster.lae'zel is best girl.
>>724311720>feels like a romance simNo it doesn't, it takes forever for that shit to even come up (and I was trying really hard)
>>724311765>the face Shadowheart is making
>>724311617dont you ever get bored shitposting dude? Like you have literally nothing better to do than assume stuff about games you dont even play? Kick rocks
>>724310615The people that say this are all gaslighting fags that don't play RPGs and never played RPGs. Act 3 is huge, polished and has a lot of content. People crying about cut content are retarded. It's not as good as Act 1 but it's not far behind. Act 2 is a bit of a slog though.
BG3 literally broke Shitposter brains for that alone it deserved GOTY
>>724306229Never if you're a straight man.
>>724311720>>724311823romance comes later, what pushed me away from it was pressing the rest button. >ah fuck>oh no>i have to rest>once again, i will have to waste what feels like hours telling all those reddit companions to fuck off, just let me fucking REST and go back>BUT THE BRITISH FAGGOT WANTS TO TALK AGAINbeyond annoying.
>>724311882>yeah ok there is pretty much no content, NPC or dungeons in act 1, please go away!
>>724311642I'm just bumbling from place to place, I guess.
>>724311983ignore them and then rest dumb fucking ape
>>724311983i had the opposite problem, i originally didn't Rest enough because I was used to "preserve resources" mindset and was saving camp supplies for when I "REALLY" needed it.and a lot of interactions/romance stuff depends on having lots of rest, especially to ramp it up in Act 1.I had to force myself to rest more than normal just to make sure I got enough interactions as needed.
>>724306229>playing woke rpgscringe
>>724306229If I could wish for one game to not exist, that would be this one
>>724312086It's possible to miss the Underdark. As soon as you find Halsin in Act 1, he tells you that you can reach Act 2 by>going through the Underdark>going through Mountain PassSo, someone could just do the latter and never see the Underdark.
>>724311882>Kick rocksholy fucking reddit
>>724312225Fortnite.
Its an amusement park and in a bad way.FO3 was an amusement park in a good way.Maybe because the Larian developed rides suck.
>>724312227>they keep saying the mountain pass is a very dangerous and huge area>you should go through the underdark!>nah ill pick the mountain pass>its a 10x10 path with a few zombies>welcome to act 2thankfully, you can finish the whole game in act 2, and be done with it.
>>724312326>FO3 was an amusement park in a good wayposting this in a thread where there are bound to be CRPG fans, from when Bethesda turned a classic CRPG into open world slop is certainly a choice
>>724310339Oh hello schizo! Welcome back. The biggest problem in act 3 is precisely the fact there's too much content and the game turns in to a drag. I have never done a run where I 100% everything. Besides, it doesn't make sense narratively for party to go around looking for a bhaalist cult, toys rigged with explosives, rescue gnomes forced to build sentinel robots, etc. The end of act 2 builds the tension to the point where the characters are right to assume they have at most a few days to reach the brain and solve the main quest. Not to mention you're already level capped at almost the start of it so there's nothing to work towards besides seeing the side content. Meh. If only act 2 and act 3 were flipped around somehow, that would have been way better. Regardless, pretending it's a shit game is just legitimate brown behavior. Install Realms restored and no alphabets to remove the niggers and troons btw.
>>724306229buy an ad.
>>724306229When you talk to the uninstall wizard.
>>724312493>is certainly a choicecan you stop talking like this
>>724306229ACT 2
>>724306229definitely unfinished, the difficulty of the first act is all over the place, the last act is cut, and the city act has a bunch of story lines that aren't tied up. Minsc and Jaheria are introduced way to late. The druid guy unnaturally joins you in act 2, easily missed. It has it's good moments mostly with barbarians tossing enemies off roofs and shit.
>>724312878i certainly can if i want
>>724306229its been a few years, larian, just buy an ad.
>>724311617>Unlocking Withers>Meeting most of the companions>Auntie Ethel's questline>Smuggling the goblin hostage out >Chicken race>Rescue Volo>Rescue thiefling kid from harpies>Necromancy of Thay quest>Nine Fingers mercenaries quests>Reaching the Creche, Lae'zel's worldview falling apart>Killing the owlbear and getting sucked and fucked by Lae'zel>Initiating the lost gnome questline that lasts through to the end of the game>Unlocking Halsin>Unlocking Minthara>Raiding the Grove>The myconid colony in Underdark>Initiating the slave rebellion in the druegar forge>Killing the boss to create adamant gearJust from the top of my head. Yeah it's totally barren saar.
>>724312894>The druid guy unnaturally joins you in act 2, easily missed.Yeah, you have to kill the Surgeon boss, bring his lute to the sleeping guy at Last Light, and then there's a questline. You have to do all that to recruit Halsin. You have to defend a portal, which can die, meaning you fail the quest. Then there's a boss fight (the corrupted kid who's actually the spirit of the land). It's very Dark Souls where nothing is explained.
>>724313121....and? is this supposed to be a lot?>act 1>a few npcs>a few tiny copy pasted dungeonswhoa.
>>724306229First 0.1 second
>>724313246too long. I uninstalled after 0.09 seconds of nothing happening.
>>724313232It's quite a lot, yes. Do you think I didn't play the game? Go shit outside again Ranesh.
>>724306229After two or so hours
>>724313148>It's very Dark Souls where nothing is explained.Ripe for replayability though
I literally bought the game solely because of the gargantuan amount of mindbreak it caused on /v/. Normally I have very little patience for party based RPGs. It was alright, I don't know what even warrants the asspained that's present in every thread about it. I feel I fell for somekind of reverse-marketing astroturf.
>>724312227Is it possible to have both in the same playthrough?
>>724313494Yes
>>724313331>It's quite a lot, yes.its not, its pretty much a defition of "nothing".
>>724313494>Is it possible to have both in the same playthrough?Yes... and I actually do everything every time I play BG3. As someone who loves Lae'zel, I _always_ go to Creche Y'llek, because you don't get to see her story otherwise. I also go to Underdark and then Grymforge. I want to see everything. I give Shadowheart her little statue and I do all the boss fights.>I fight Grym>I fight Nere (his head goes to the mushroom people)>I fight W'wargaz (guy at the end of Creche Y'llek)You can do both places in one playthrough.
>>724313494Yes, because they're both act 1. For example you can go to the creche, realize the giths were lying about having a cure for ceramorphosis and instead go follow the Absolute cult trail through the Underdark. That's what I did the first time since that made narratively sense to me after every githyanki in sight turned aggressive. I thought that's the intended route too?
It gets better at level3 and good at 5Low level D&D is fucking terrible as always and trying to improve showing fucking illithids, dragons and demons at level1 doesn't help
>>724313548>>724313618Thanks.
>>724313553Okay, you convinced me. The 25 hours spent in act 1 was actually nothing, I wasn't actually playing a game at all. You're right saar.
>>724313663I was simping for Minthara and beelined for the mountain pass after escaping the Creche.
>>724313667Always has been. Low level D&D was especially ass in BG1.Only edition of D&D that had semi-powerful level 1 characters was 4th edition, and that was a really divisive edition of the game.>Captha: NGGR8
>>724313725>The 25 hours spent in act 1>23 hours out of these were spent watching braidead enemy AI try to make a turn
>>724308746>pick an Origin character instead of scrutinising the character creation.Might as well watch a movie or read a book if you can't even roleplay your own character.
>>724314025>Might as well watch a movie or read a book if you can't even roleplay your own character.Did you create your character at birth?
>>724313667>>724313940trying to directly use the dnd system in a video game is just stupiddevs should just accept that it doesn't work and properly translate it to a video game
>>724314082But it did work and translated into a fantastic game.
>>724314150no
>>724313970>Brown is too stupid to CC half the enemy team and tunnel the remaining 2 mobs, effectively winning every encounter within 2-3 turnsYou don't even need to long rest because the game keeps tossing so many consumables inventory management is becoming a slog. Indians are literally too stupid for 5e DnD, holy shit.
>>724313970Trying too hard Ranesh.
>>724314082with zero modification, you'd be correct.But the original BGs and BG3 all modified the game in some way so it'd be better as a video game.There are justifable points that it didn't do enough or that it'd be better NOT using the system, but changes were made.
>>724314067The thing is you learn more about the characters if you don't play as them. For instance if you choose Frog as origin, you never hear her comments on situations, interjections into conversations or see what her character would really recommend doing. If you origin Frog it's just a puppet. The game's protagonist is clearly intended to be Durge, with resist Durge being the canonical "good" choice and embrace Durge being the edgelord option. The previous games are all about bhaalspawns aswell.
>>724314067Yeah. It's called being born, idiot. I didn't become George Fucking Washington on a whim.
>>724314509>It's called being born, idiot.You did not choose who you were born as, which is why you're a stupid person. I'm filtering this thread now. You will speak to people of your intelligence level. If you enter any thread on this board, there's a 90% that it is entirely people like you. Enjoy each other's company.
>>724314350>>724314405>stop laughing that the combat is a braindead waste of time! lmao @ zoomies.
>>724306229it only gets worse
>this is your new party's druidsay something nice about her
>>724314778>released right in between the Mario movie and John Wick>will never get a sequel with cutey druid
>>724314082My favorite part about the game is how much it emulates the pen and paper game. I love hearing all the little dice rolls happening in the background whenever you do anything.
>>724314609I'm laughing that you're a pajeet who everyone is disgusted by. Now go poo in the loo saar.
>>724306229like 5-10 minutes into the game?
>>724314082>trying to directly use the dnd system in a video game is just stupidIt saves a lot of time coming up with classes, spells and skills yourself and everyone knows the rules of your game before buying it.3.5 and everything after it is a lot easier to implement, I think they made them with vidya adaptations in mind
angry, bloodthirsty wife....
>>724314423Shortening CC spells and making jump a bonus action to basically teleport around weren't good changes.Remember we had to fight Larian tooth and nail to keep elemental surfaces away from the game yet they didn't properly implement spells like web and grease.
>>724308974Imagine having such a shitty ass opinion. Act 2 is the worst act in the entire game.
>>724314082yeah bg3 wouldnt be that bad if it wasnt turn based.oh well, it would still be woke cringe anyway.
>>724315425Removing 5e's arbitrary limits on jump height/distance, not using magic item attunement, disgarding 5e's limits on how magic items are designed, and more options for martials were all good changes, though.
>>724314778Tiefling druid is a stupid combo and they aren't a dex class either.Haven't watch the movie, does she ever wild shape or use spells? Why not make her a ranger instead?
>>724310957I like all the low level dracula monsters at Cazador's you curbstomp by the time you get there. Pretty sure all those models were assets that got dumped after Helia stopped being a thing so they just reused them for filler fights
>>724306229i think the problem lies in everyones adhd ridden brainswe dont want to load up a video game to sit there and read a book and watch characters walk around doing nothingwe want to feel IMPACT we want EXCITEMENT we want to PLAY the video GAME and it needs to FEEL goodthis is why strategy rpgs like final fantasy tactics are superior to boredurs gate not even imo just objectively
>>724312617It's a D&D game, doing stupid shit while ignoring the main quest is pretty basic. Besides, Baldur's Gate (the town) has always been full of weird and retarded shit in every BG game, from mind flayer dungeons to crazy wizards or cannibals that have nothing to do with the main quest.
>>724315816She mostly wild shapes.All the classes, save the "bard", behave mostly as expected. The bard feels more like a rogue who has the entertainer background.
>>724311765Why is there so much gay sex in the game? Every time I see something posted about the game it's sexual and usually degenerate.
>>724315709It's not about height or distance, BG3 jump is extra movement on top of your standard 30yards and ends up giving STR classes better movement than monks or rogues.I blame BG3s huge combat arenas and verticality forcing their hand or melee classes wouldn't be able to reach any targets most of their turns.
>>724316061that's actually straight sexjust with a hideous obese troll woman
>>724316162It is about height and distance, it works completely differently in actual 5e D&D (and it's stupid there).The verticality is one of the better aspects of BG3. It's something you can't do very well in a tabletop setting due to setup/planning, and just having the materials. It works perfectly in a video game format. It's an example of using the medium's strengths.
I love the game but the most annoy fucking shit is how every encounter is like your 4 dudes versus 30 npcs.
>>724313485>i ate shit because other people said eating shit is grossHeh, well I guess that's one way to waste a life.
>>724315846>we dont want to load up a video game to sit there and read a bookIronically one of the big reasons BG3 was successful. They voice acted all the lines rather than force all that reading.If they didn't, no way this would've done the numbers it did.
>>724316426yeah, people are a lot more used to videogames being a thing where you just watch hours of cutscenes and not actually play, true
>>724316326Pretty sure in 5e jumping doesn't add to your movementIn my playthrough my frontliners were jumping every turn to double their total movement, avoiding terrain hazards, avoiding attacks of opportunity, jumping 20yards up a ledge to avoid a detour etc..They botched the implementation
>>724306229It is still a buggy mess, but even despite the bugs and downward slope of quality it’s still the most extensive RPG in decades.
>>724316732>Pretty sure in 5e jumping doesn't add to your movementYou misread the post. I explicitely pointed out BG3 jumping is NOT like 5e jumping (where it's bad).
>>724316659or you could try not to be a faggot who complains about dialogues in a CRPG
>>724316659You're trying to be sarcastic, but there's a reason FF7 was so huge in the 90's.
I don't like the gay parasite in head main story
>>724317513>gay parasite in head>roll for Fabulous! DC 10
>>724306229Never. The game is boring garbage. It's only popular among people who use it as a dating sim. That's it.
>>724306229During character creation
>>724317513it's not that gay though, the whole prism and emperor thing on the other hand
Nice try dragonirian.
Is there a mod to make the green bitch less ugly and maybe even sexy?
>>724319174>he needs to mod perfection
>>724319174the real mod is the brain mod that lets you enjoy non-normal nose shapes. i fell in love with a girl with a different nose and now i know they grow on you.
>>724319174ironically she's the best looking party member
>>724314082ThisBg3's gameplay is vastly inferior to DoS for this reason
>>724310615narratively weakyou'll hit 12 before doing 1/3rd of the contentnone of it feels like an adventure, its just go there and curbstomp XKetheric was fun but the Bane guy was a letdown after all that buildupMCU avenger-style finale
>>724306229i want to enjoy this game as i am a huge cRPG enjoyer, but honestly the character models are so fucking ugly and every time you randomize i get some mystery mutt. The main character to play is either a custom OR the durge, otherwise you kind of ruin the game by playing as an origin character. Then after all that, the dialogue is just too much. I hate the face-to-face system and would rather just have text-based interaction 90% of the time. I understand the production value of this game is absolutely fucking insane and the customization options and gameplay freedom are unparalleled but for me it just becomes "too much" and i'd rather just play WOTR/PoE.
>>724315210Need a mod of her busty and wearing skimpy attire
>>724320632No you don't. Just open the character pane and click "view camp equipment" and you can have any character run around like a concubine whore, even naked if you want.
>>724317021theres actually 2 huge reasonsand they are both on tifas chest
>>724306229i couldnt believe what im playing, i was assaulted with cringe every few minutes.
What's the name of that mod that lets you have all the companions in the active party?

>>724306229It doesn't. You'll play for a few hours, close it down for the day, then won't be able to summon up the will to load your save file ever again.It would work fine as one of those 'movie' games where you mostly just watch the story play itself out, but the combat is a tedious interruption to that. The combat... It slows the whole game down and takes a shit on the depth of it's predecessors. 5/10 garbage game fix the shortstacks larian.
>>724326113I enjoyed it from start to finish and was enthralled by Lizard girl. Went full murder hobo as well. Very fun game if you are a creative person with an imagination. For retarded zoomers with dull brain it’s not enough stimulus
>>724306229this game is just asspullsyou conveniently land back in faerunyou conveniently have a modified tadpoleyou conveniently have shart and her artifact with orpheus and the emperoryou conveniently know a settlement is nearby do to fresh wateryou convenienty never has where the fuck you are in the world and just assume you can go to baldur's gate and thats its close enough to travel to
>>724306229It doesn’t. The things you hate about it get worse as it goes on. If you didn’t decide to play the game as a durge murder-hobo, then you’ve opted in for a shitty unfulfilling experience where NPC’s emotionally manipulate your blank slate literal who character into solving all their bullshit and then toss you to the curb while your super special mary sue companions have far more engaging quests that are all about them.
