>>730995592BG3 needs more mods with sexy outfits
>>730995753>DwarfImagine willingly picking a manlet.
>>730995592That's a Warlock though
>>730995592> gender: femaleThe dark urge is a man. Bhaalspawn are encouraged to breed as much as possible to make new Bhaalspawn. A woman can only do so every 9 months and can't kill properly during that time. Meanwhile a male Bhaalspawn can go genghis Kahn on Faerun. Especially the dark urge, who is the purest Bhaalspawn has to go the extra mile
>>730995592>>Gender: FemaleWhy tho
>>730995824well thankfully since bg3 is a goty you can choose to be a female and have a big fat futa cock
>>730995643>Dragonborn in d&d You must be 18 to post here
>>730995742Why is Minthara so perfect bros
>>730996054she is the funniest person I know
>>730996005Dragonborn have been a playable part of DnD since 2014. If you were intelligent enough to play back then, you'd be in at least your mid 20s now.
Only faggots replaying this game more than 2 times
Remove the sex and women wouldn't touch this game. And neither would you.
I hated the lesbians.>UGH I can't wait to kill my dad to go have lesbian sex!What a cunt
The amount of gay manlets in this game is unreal. I think I encountered one straight couple.
>>730995789I played a low int dwarf and had fun. He never got anything right. He needed help from the kids understanding their secret sign.
>>730995643Dragonborn have the least racial dialogue options to my knowledge. They also don't fit in the setting which already had Abishai.
>>730995872I don't like seeing men flirting with men, so if I play female it's not a problem.
>>730996846>Dragonborn have the least racial dialogue options to my knowledgeNot even close, and Dragonborns were the last race added to BG3.>they also don't fit in the setting which already had Abishai.Ridiculous argument when there are half-a-dozen elf repaints.
after years of playing CRPGs I safely concluded that human fighter with high CHA and reach weapon is indeed the best MC archetype
>>730995643im not a fan of furry adjacent characters, but this is based
>Human>Male>Fighter>Honor Mode>Biggest Sword I find
>>730996846Abishai are specifically hardcore servants of Tiamat, they're basically the Drow of the lizard-likes.
>>730996926Must have patched them in, they were mostly treated as humans early on. As for my other point I don't think it's ridiculous. Their backstory of the Abeir-Toril split was retarded. There arealy was established dragon-kin in the saner editions, the dragonborn are more a teenager power fantasy.
>>730996517are you gay
>>730997167All dragonoids should be treated as monstrous rather than humanoid is my point.
>>730997210>the dragonborn are more a teenager power fantasy.Are we playing the same DnD?>Dhampir>Drow>Tiefling>Flamekin>Warforged>Shifters>Sorcerer as a concept>Assimer>Kenku
I'm a fan of a generic basic Warrior in high fantasy worlds. I just like the idea of a normal every day guy becoming a hero. Or a faceless, nameless soldier way in over his head rising up to become something more.

for me, its watching shadowheart get pounded by big futa cocksand also dogs
>>730998626For me it's monk. I heard they were bad in tabletop but in bg3 it's really powerful and fun to play. Not a lot of custom class dialogue though.

per day/ per short rest mechanics don't belong in video games. the divinity action point system is 10x better suited for this kind of game. i never got past the underdark. it's just not fun to micro manage going back to camp every now and then.
>>730997550'Stranger in a strange land' is a trope that has carried many a work of fantasy.It's what 99% of Conan stories are about anyway, some of the best of those.
>>730995592temu harley queen
>>730999559>I heard they were bad in tabletop but in bg3 it's really powerful and fun to play.That's mainly thanks to the Tavern Brawler feat. You just swap your stats over to strength instead of using dexterity, and then you get to shit out 4-6 punch attacks a turn for massive damage. Well beyond what they're capable of in the TBT.

I am playing Divinity Original Sin Enhanced right now as a rogue but I think I'll go ranger or something in Balder Gay 3

>>730996517My only problem with them was that they didn't smash clams right then and there

>>731001885You’re welcome
>>730995592Same, but with the transmasc genitals mod for the puffy clitoris.
>first interaction with Astarion is he deceiving and trying to kill murder you in cold blood>hides being a vampire and tries to drink you>just an asshole in general>by far the most adored character by all the female playerswatching girls playing BG3 is a blackpill
>>731001578The way it was implemented in this game is a bit confusing and wack since hexblade was added a year or two after release but parts of its kit were rolled into pact of the blade (which ant warlock subclass can take) so you can get stuck with both. But basically yes, you can equip any one weapon and use your bind hexed weapon skill and it will count as if you're proficient with it and it will use your charisma instead of whatever else stat it uses normally for attack rolls and damage
Install Realms restored to remove the woke.
>>731002254>trying to make this a gender wars thingSebille is literally the exact same as your greentext and she’s the most popular romance for male players in DOS2

>>731002329I did this for my first playthrough and I can't imagine ever playing BG3 without it.It's surprisingly seamless like 99% of the time.

>>731002707The only tranny voice is Nocturne who doesn’t even sound that bad. But yeah AI voices it’s for sure a downgrade mod lmao.
>>731002743Alright, now why was the Dragonborn changed
>>731002743
Fuck lads if a new guy goes on an adventure game doesn't come out I'm going to see if I can buy the Fable series somewhere and play that again.
>>731002795The woman who is one of the mod devs hates dragonborn and gnomes.
>>731002708I guess she’s “brown” but it’s a very stark brown, she looks half drow to me at the very least.
>>731002743>Dragonborn can't be druidsThe fuck was the mod author's problem?
>>731002743>is that a woman not covering her hair?>WOOOOKE

>>731002556>>731002591warlock maybe part paladin,drow and dark urge I guess just cause I haven't played iteither would be the same I just usually prefer to play girls but want to fuck Minthara but don't like yuri...and want to play a drow no matter what (fuck "no facial hair" and the ridiculous gigachad/swedish male model default faces though)
>>731002329i didn't have a problem with black people being druidsmaybe that's just my racism kicking in though>>731002795>>730996085dragonborn aren't from the forgotten realms setting iirclike those warforged golems?

Shadowbabe.
>>731003067Right, but get rid of the scrawling on your face, they look awful.
>>731003079They've been part of the core players handbook for a while now. The main 'vanilla' races are>Aasimer>Dragonborn>Dwarf>Elf>Gnome>Goliath>Halfling>Human>Orc>TieflingThe out-of-the-norm race in BG3 is the Githyanki from Monsters of the Multiverse.
>>731002974drow dont have brown skin, brown hair or brown eyes, the only similarity is that they are both elveshalf-drow would have at least one drow feature like white hair, obsidian black or grey skin, maybe red eyes.
>>731002743>>731002329>>731002459I downloaded this mod probably a year ago. I'm on fresh patch 8 type shit. I didn't play the game at the time because my PC partly died. I still have the install and was going to use it.I never heard ANYTHING about removing Dragonborns or AI voices, just changing brownoids to white when I read the rpgcodex thread or whatever and installed it.Do I really have this retarded overreach shit in my game or is that something they inevitably added in later versions like fucking retards (all you had to do was make them not brown, without negroid faces)?
Really excited for Divinity and how it shakes up the combat compared to BG3, they all seem really proud of their new combat sandbox and the innovations they’ve made.And the art director said they’ve been paying attention to character creation mods, particularly the ones that let you combine front hair pieces with back ones, so hopefully we see more customization on all fronts as well.
>>731002871BasedFuck gn*mes
>>731003369>t. Astarion
>>731003305Install the updated version. The AI voices are only if you use additional mod that changes gender of some characters.
>>730998626For me it’s:Moon DruidSwords bardMonk Throw barbarian Warlock/sorcerer Eldritch Knight These are, coincidentally, some of the most broken options in the game.
Shoot, it happened again: I created a Tav I badly want to fuck.
>>731003305you doif you only want tiny changes stick to the original mod that started it all, Baldur’s Better Aesthetics
>>731003280That's for the players, not the region. Lore describes the races that are more numerous in the sword coast cities and dragonporn, goliath, assimar and orc are not even mentioned, then the rest are mentioned as either the core population or minority groups in the cities, some having a bigger % in some cities than others. You could have 1 or 2 merchants or travelers from another region but they wouldn't be the norm to see them every day.Also your character is supposed to be special and you are supposed to have a backstory why you are both there and why you are an adventurer. You are not supposed to be just a dude from the bunch.
>>731003436IMO I find it very difficult to have fun in BG3 unless the class I'm playing comes online by the Goblin Camp at the latest.The idea of playing a class that doesn't get good until late Act 2 is mind boggling to me. That's fucking 40+ hours at least. Then you see videos of SUPER AWESOME UNSTOPPABLE BUILD and it's a Lv12 multi-class that requires multiple Act 3 pieces of equipment. What the fuck is that about? Oh yeah, let me enjoy this build I'll get to experience for maybe 3-4 fights before hitting the finale.
>>731003342Seems like they're really going all out this time. This interview has some nice info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioq8kuNdpGU
>>731003382Gn*mes are the kikes of faerum
>>731003651That one’s good. Here’s an overview of an interview that many missed. https://youtu.be/n_HJDd_ZgmQ?si=Bm2sDDJeyjgJOHDGMost interesting to me is the suggestion that Act 1 will have multiple directions to explore. Swen also specifically says they have an evolved turn based combat system. Also that they are using ideas from an obscure cancelled game of theirs that they, at the time, considered too ambitious.

>>731002871>woman devshan't download
>>731002743Looked up the mod. For whatever ungodly reason he decided to change Isobel. I never liked mods where autists determine what should and shouldnt be in the game, i like to stick to dev vision
>>731002254>>731002547True. But I still don’t understand anybody getting hot around the collar for him. He’s a goofy little queen.
>>731004716He's a foppish, good looking, posh-speaking man who's effete nature is one born from being raised in the upper classes. He's pure fujo bait.

>>731004716For women? He has a lot of baggage and trauma that makes him emotionally vulnerable but he’s also very capable and has a dominating presence in his romance. Women want a man that can take care of them but with just enough trauma to keep him interesting and give the girl something to do.
>>731003587Moon Druid needs nothing Monk gets great stuff later on, but is busted from the start Throw Barb just needs the returning halberd. You can run straight to goblin camp and buy it Eldritch knight is another case of the rich getting richer Sorlock becomes even more busted in act 2, but is really strong from the start. Swords bard kinda fits your description. Level 6 is when it really gets crazy, and the arcane acuity helmet in act 2 makes it absurdly OP. I actually just went arcane archer until level 6 and then respec’d.
>>731005158I never said your classes need much to come online. I was actually supporting what you said.
>>731004809>>731004917I guess I’ve never romanced him, so maybe he’s drastically different if you go down that road. I could see fujos shipping him as the bottom in a gay relationship, but that’s about it.
>>731005358In his romance he’s very top coded. Hes the dominant one by far. Because it was designed for women.
>>731005226My bad, anon. Swords bard does love the djinn’s ring in act 3, so I figured that’s what you were thinking.
>>731005358Astarion has a pretty damn good romance desu. Especially if you play with a Dark Urge origin. It's night and day between anybody else and Durge, especially a Durge trying to reform, because he's sympathetic to the constant uncontrollable instincts.
>>731004574If you could read them you'd know that there are optional installs to revert changes like that.
>>730997550>I just like the idea of a normal every day guy becoming a hero.Then he is not a normal every day guy. He only had his potentiall wasted by living in normaleverydayguyville and whatever feats he will display will be leeched off by normaleverydayguyville, same method you used when you called him "normal everyday guy".Btw "normal" is subjective and relativist, not a solid default.

>>731007778yes thank you for confirming you're a cuckold
>>730995592Is this modded?
>>731002348Sebille's intro is framed as you startling her and her overreacting, not vice versa and her trying to kill you out of nowhere.After that she's upfront about being an assassin out to get revenge
>>731008281>out of nowhereHe thought you were a thrall and was trying to get information out of you. This might’ve been clearer/more understandable if they hadn’t cut the thralled fishermen quest. Also generally Sebille takes longer to warm up to you than Astarion, though tbf she never does anything as invasive as the bite scene.

Drow absolutely had brown skin, among others, because their original, surface-dwelling version did.>>731002743>>731002329People who made the mod are retards.1. There is no "ethnic coherency" in the Realms, because throughout its history it had multiple continent-spanning empires, including one that INTENTIONALLY spread peoples and tribes around to prevent rebellions.2. About a 100 years ago there was an apocalyptic event that turned entire regions into wastelands, further dispersing populations around.3. Baldur's Gate started out as a pirate cover and never was part of any nation.4. Due to said cataclysmic event it was flooded by around 40.000 refugees.
>>730995592What mods do I need to download so that I can have a Tav like this?
>>730995592>race: elf>class: ranger>difficulty: easy mode>gender: femaleyup it's gaming time
>>731007161That feature by itself is kind of whatever, the only really op thing about blade pact warlock is that its extra attack stacks with any martial extra attack which gives you three attacks per action while retaining full lvl5+ warlock spell progression which no other class can do (fighter can do 3 attacks at lvl11 but with no such spell progression, eldritch knight progression is worse)

>>731009251The mod is funny because they kept Wyll being black because he was the son of ravenguard and thus it was “lore ok” but since the actual audience of the mod never cared about the lore it was a huge controversy.
If you are a man and play as female characters, you are a closet troon

>>731010595Based.
>>731010710>white >humanWhats the default human character compared to the elf and half elf character i wonder?
>>730995592>>730995643Why doesn't Larian have more unique background options like the Dark Urge that let you customize your character on top of it? That seems infinitely more interesting than forcing you to give up a companion character to interact with so you can play through their character arc with a silent protagonist.
>>731010808I'm confident they'll do more of that in Divinity after the positive reception to Durge.
>>731002329>the way she's sweaty after the firesexo
>>731010808Baldur's Gate 3, even after all the post-launch patches and content additions, is a complete mass of half-baked ideas. Larian blames Covid, but that only goes so far as to explaining the problems with the game.
>>731010808>>731010914Less than 15% of all players ever played Dark Urge.Around 3% of all players chose a GIthyanki, who has absolute mountains of exclusive reactivity and content.Barely anyone played as Gale, who has entire endings no one else get to have (like a happy ending for Karlach) and an exclusive companion (his familiar).Most people will always play Generic Self-Insert Pretty.
>>731010808Durge probably took a substantial amount of dev time. Its a lot of work for what is essentially an additional character that most people wont ever seen.
>>731010808If you’re asking why they did Origins in DOS2, the reason was to help people new to the genre. They didn’t have to roleplay as their own character and could play the game like a jrpg. This was kept into BG3 just because it was there in DOS2, and since it was in EA they felt bad about axing it. So we got some half assed origins for BG3. But given how overwhelmingly not used the origins were in BG3 I would not be surprised if they are cut entirely for the new game.
>>731009770>OOOUUHOUU LOOK IM THAT CHARACTER YOU LOVE OOHGUHUU
>>730995643I like everything about Dragonborn Druge, except it's not possible for a Dragonborn to be a Balespawn, due to the timeliness, on when Dragonborn first appeared on the realm, was after Bale's last incursion on the realms.
>>731011057Yeah, but that doesn't that also emphasize that having a self-insert with more interesting options is still going to win out over choosing to play as a non-customizable companion character? So why go through all of the effort of putting unique details and dialogue into playing as Gale or Karlach when that time could be channeled into making the customizable protagonist more interesting in unique ways?
>>731011057The dualogue option distributions make the devs crying about everyone playing John Whiteman make a bit more senseStill their fault for not seeing it coming, though
>>731011328>John Fighter
>>731011057The Gale Origin is legitimately great but all Origins really suffer because they maintain almost zero character, since they just share all their facial and body animations with Tav instead of using the mannerisms the characters display as Companions.
>>731011201It's funny that they'd be surprised about people preferring to be able to talk to (and romance) certain characters rather than playing as them as a mute.
>>731011289>except it's not possible for a Dragonborn to be a BhaalspawnYes it is, because Durge wasn't birthed, he was spawned. He is literally a part of Bhaal's essence manifested. He is the purest Bhaalspawn that has ever existed.
>>731011201I bounced off of Divinity Original Sin 2 and want to give it a reattempt. Though it's funny that in contrast to BG3 everyone seems to recommend choosing an origin playthrough instead of coming up with your own.
>>731011042I thought it held up well until Act 3, where you can feel them really start throwing abrupt endings at every other branching character side-quest just to reach the finish line.
>>731011489>>731011201Larian definitely needs to be smart with the new Divinity in regards to what should be focused on and what should be cut.Origins are definitely one of those things that needs chopped up and removed. Almost nobody plays as the companions because it means you lose out on experiencing them from the outside, where their voice acting and mannerisms actually exist.
>>731011495>>731011553It makes more sense in DOS2 because companion quests aren’t as cinematic and more importantly you can only bring 3 companions with you in the game. They don’t get deposited in camp like in BG3, they straight up die.
>>731009626cute elfess
>>731011553Honestly, I prefer a custom character simply because most of the origin source abilities suck balls, and losing out on one companion questline is barely an issue if you're not skipping everything.
>>731011808I find it to be something of a problem with CRPGs in general. Your MC is almost always relatively dull compared to the companions which makes their presence somewhat awkward and your ability to roleplay is generally fairly limited to broad archetypes.I'd rather CRPGs were designed so you were essentially playing as the whole party instead of focusing on a blankslate MC serving as a view port for the actual characters to tell a story to the player.
>>730995643I genuinely think Dragonborn is one of the shittiest retard bait races in DnD. Literally everyone that plays them is some flavor of degenerate faggot. I'd much rather be at a table full of Tiefling players than Dragonborn players.>b-but I swear I just wanted to play a cool reptile monster guy I don't fap to furshitThen you'd play a Lizardman.Anyone that plays a cat person race in any game is also a massive fucking faggot.
>>730995592>>Class: Paladin>>Origin: Dark UrgeHow does that work from a story POV?
>>731012173Considering it was his original class before they shifted to Sorcerer? Quite well, Dark Urge has multiple double tag lines for both his origin and being a Paladin.
>>731011057>Barely anyone played as GaleBecause he's literally a faggot. Just let us play as ourselves and get all the endings and content.
>>730995592qt>>730995643dragonborn are shit in BG3. small bit of resistance + a bad burning hands? miss me with that shit
>>730996926>You WILL play a freakshit race!Why do people defend this bear sex simulator again?
>>731012173You tried to break away from your nature once already, joined a Paladin Order, and then, oops, slaughtered everyone
>>731012108That's why people remember Disco. Because you play as an insane, drug-addicted, burnout.
Humina humina...
>Dragonborn are fucking gay dude>Anyway here's my edgy tiefling with heterochromia and tattoos who's totally not like all those other tieflings
>>731012214Wish you could pick Oathbreaker at start and then instead of paying to fix it there were story events where you can restore your Oath by doing something very virtuous.
>>731002871>hates dragonbornbased>and gnomescringe
>>731011201>So we got some half assed origins for BG3.They are fully completed storylines with unique endings, quest, camp followers, cutscenes etc. >>731011289Have you even played the game? He wasn't born from a mortal woman.>>731011503It's also why his lust for murder is so overwhelming and uncontrollable.>>731011808As mentioned above, the only companion worth playing as a protagonist is Gale, because he really does have a ridiculous amount of unique content.>>731012108Planescape: Torment
Hecking based!
Sorry but I WILL fuck the lizards.
>>730996926What's so special about the githyanki playthrough? The only unique race I've played as is tiefling, and I just remember some vague racism and telling Karlach I didn't mind being burnt.
>>731012218His ex-lover is the goddess of magic, so hardly.
>>731012264Writing like DE does make me think there is a lot of potential in the concept of Origins but they really need to make sure that the character you pick retains a lot more of their character. Even if your exact options towards any given event are limited to only things your specific character would do.
>>731012403Lae'zel IIRC was the first companion made for the game, and her concept+creation predates Covid. The result is the Githyanki race got an insane amount of race checks compared to everybody else.
>>731012367>They are fully completed storylines with unique endings, quest, camp followers, cutscenes etc.Only somewhat. You keep bringing up Origin Gale but take a look at Origin Laezel.
>>731002254>open /v/>find evil women thread #343252>see ped- bratty girl thread
>>731012108I find that my custom PC is always many times cooler than any companion so I prefer keeping a single customizable MC. I think Durge was a good attempt at giving the MC some agency and investment, basically just having a form of character or class quest as an engagement check for the character.
>>731012548The problem isn't really content of the Origins in regards to dialogue and side quests but presentation. The Origins simply lose too much of their character when you play as them.
Why do biological females make hideous looking characters?
>>731012675Karlach least had some unique voiced reactions to some events.
>>731012248Wasn't he the big bad before losing his memory
>>731012675I mean I still think it’s a bad idea. As I said earlier origins were for people who wanted to play the game like a jrpg. BG3 shows that most people don’t want to play the game like that, so why bother? Might as well use those resources on customizable origins, like Durge or a better version of DAO system.
>>731012645Your imagined idea of what the MC is like, sure, the game does try to hype you up as the leader of the group. But in regards to your actual options for class roleplay an MC is almost always narratively less developedCompare Cleric Tav to Shadowheart, or Wizard Tav to Gale, or Warlock Tav to wyll and your options and flavor are quite shallow in comparison.
>>731012775Yes, Dark Urge was the mastermind behind the entire thing before Orin scrambled his brains with her daggers. Which makes Dark Urge arguably the most important origin in the game.
And then there is Wyll.
Kagha should've been a party member instead of Fagsin.
>>731012775Iirc He was, the Paladin Order betrayal event happened fairly early on in Durge's life before he fell, accepted his nature, and became murder hobo extraordinaire, then he loses his memory
>>731002254>can clearly see his fangs when he laughs>can have an extended conversation with him when you find a drained boar and he starts acting extremely suspicious>can find multiple books on vampirism>can openly befriend the gith, the Shar cleric, and the crazed tiefling, while being a gith/drow/duergar yourself>can't ever get the chance to tell this faggot "hey I know you're a vampire, I'm cool with it as long as you don't bite me or my friends">fucking FORCED to have this faggot ATTACK YOU IN YOUR SLEEP before you can have a reasonable conversation about itIt is so fucking retarded. If I'm RPing, there is no situation where I do not immediately stake that fucker.
>>731013006we didn't need a second druid, we should have had Alfira to fill the missing bard slot.
>>731013032So Archaon the Everchosen if he fixed his daddy issues
What's a good class that thematically works with the lizard people? Thinking of going ranger with my friend soon but a lizard ranger seems weird...
>>731012221Dragonborn racials are pretty crap even in the TBT. People half-fix them by house-ruling their breath attacks as a bonus action.
>>731013258Lizard wizard. You've got magic in your gizzard.
>>731013258Dragonborn value martial prowess, obsessively perfected technique, and physical strength above all, so you almost always see them as Fighters, Barbarians, Monks, and occasionally Druids because they love to take on the forms of animals such as regular bears and owlbears. They're also quite commonly shown to be Bards.
>>731012402We know, Swen.
>got spoiled on everything>no desire to playshame too, the gameplay is pretty nice, for the most part
>>731012869Sure, but that will always be the case unless the MC is also an established character like Shadowheart of Gale, which I don’t want. The things I suggested give the MC more importance and agency without making them into another companion.
>>731013042Then do so, anon. Take the attack action and kill him. Literally nothing prevents you.
>>731013258I enjoyed my Barbarian Red Dragonborn Durge playthrough. If a bit braindead you get really good Intimidation options and using everything and everyone as projectile weapons is fun.Also you make Lae'zel turbo thirsty.
>cant knock up frogkusoge
>>731013691Try Harder
>>731013092Just add both. Kagha was setup perfectly to be the druid on a redemption arc that could be changed in any way the tav wants.Helsin could continue to be the goody. Make the player choose one or the other.Alfira just needed a non murdered path.
Wasnt there an evil ending where you take control of the brain, make everyone your slave and then just walk off essentially saying "eh fuck it."?
>>731013541For me it's getting to Goblin camp and getting an urge to restart with a different class.
>>731013760I don’t want Minthara but worse.
>>731013776I have never made it to act 2
>>731013446>>731013452>>731013596shit i forgot the races probably work with certain classes better
>>731013560I did. The issue is that doing so locks you out of a shitload of content and there is virtually no way to roleplay in a way that means not killing him at that point. Which means the ONLY way you can get his entire storyline is if you act OOC in order to metagame. It's dogshit. You should not lock a major companion behind such a retarded decision. It's common fucking sense to give you a way to reveal he's a vampire and bypass him trying to bite you if you make the right dialogue choices.
>no path of the beast barbarianLarian hates fun
>>731013979What does it lock you out of other than a more climactic Cazador dungeon?While I do wish that scene had more options, I like that there’s a lot of conflict and tension in the party at the beginning. I’m also reminded of Rogue Trader where there’s a lot of companions who are better off dead.
>>731012305You missed the best part>Gives their Tiefling a human skin colour
>>731013979I've definitely had him come up to me and confess that he's a vampire on his own, never triggering the camp feeding cutscene, so skill issue I guess
>>730996517We’re kindred spirits, you and I.
>>731014035What does that do compared to Wildheart?
>>731013979You don't have to experience all content in a single playtrhough ;)
>>731014169I haven't been able to get that and nobody that I've asked before has, do you know what triggers it?
>>731014303Limited resting, you reach a certain point in the game without the bite scene and he’ll just tell you.
>>731013818Story would be more like Shadow heart. On a redemption path to being a better druid/person. Can either prove to her nature can overrun and fuck the world with the shadow lands. Or that helsin was full of shit and that nature must hold a stern hand.Minthara is just self serving no matter what. A full fleshed out story for her with a "good" path would just be paladin redemption, continuing to milk tav daily, and being a slightly less shitty drow.
>>730998985I hate playing paladins. The oath aspect of the class is a pile of diarrhea without a real DM to argue your motivations with.
>>731014243Gives you natural weapons to be used as bonus actions and some movement actions. It's the option for people who want to play werewolves, but without druidic fuckery.
>>731014432I like minthatas writing in the base game (though she feels a bit too shoe-horned into being the “pro-absolute” person even if it doesn’t make sense for her character) I just wish there was more of it. She feels like a very late addition.
>>731014243Path of the beast is basically monk except with claws instead of fistsYou dont turn into a bear, you just get bear hands, or a spiky tail, that kinda thing, not full shapeshifting
>>731014514just become an oathbreaker don't be a bitch
>>730996054>perfect>raspy man-voice
>>731014270In fact, Larian's design philosophy is based around the idea that you probably won't. You'll see some stuff other people won't, and you won't see some stuff that other people do.
>>731014270NTA but one playthrough is usually >100h, might as well do most of what the game is offering.Just like any Persona game where you should just use a spoiler free walkthrough. A friend actually missed the P5 Royal exclusive content because he never reached some reputation level with one character (the game warns you but never tells you the consequences).
>>731014514Agreed, during a TBT sesh you can explicitly outline your motivations and why you're doing what you're doing which creates plenty of valid "loopholes" in your oath that still fit within the character's personality. In BG3 it's just comically binary and makes you seem like a low functioning autist.>If I, a Paladin of Vengeance, kill this specific heinous individual right now, then his boss is going to blow up an Orphanage>I best not do that, Justice can come la-AHAHAHAHA OATH BROKEN FAGGOT
>>731001578As a hexblade, you should be binding the best one handed weapon your party has found until level 3. For every attack you should be using the booming blade cantrip. Once you’re level 3, you’ll be able to learn shadow blade. Cast it every day and bind it afterwards. That will be your best weapon for the entire game.
>>731002404She’s not a wood elf. She’s a high elf who got the Netflix treatment.
>>731002536now we're talkin
>>731015079I mean, is that stated explicitly rather than just game data? Not that it matters, her skin tone is exactly the same as the average wood elf. She doesn’t even have African facial features, she’s just an elf with deep olive skin. Total nothingburger.
Awful lot of plebians in here.
>>731012470I wonder how Divinity's development cycle will compare
>>731015802Swen said he wants it to be faster, saying that 3-4 year dev cycle is a lot healthier than 6 years. But also it’s a bigger game, so who knows how long it will actually take. Given the whole WOTC debacle they probably only started development of it in 2024.If I had to guess…cinematic opening and gameplay reveal at summer games fest, EA December 2026, and a year and a half EA cycle, releasing about 5 years after BG3.
>>731016017>One year to EAThat's pretty ambitious even for an expedited development cycle, though DOS2 did get a demo build pretty early on. I guess it's possible.
>>731014705>Just like any Persona gameAre you comparing a heavily non-linear RPG with fucking Persona, which is completely on-rails?
>>731016327I’m kinda basing it off of BG3, you have to keep in mind they have been developing the game for a full year at this point, it’d be one year from reveal which makes sense from a marketing perspective.
>>731016540Yeah, when you put it like that, it sounds much more likely. They have expanded enough that they could probably swing a full release before 2030. Guess we'll just have to see how it goes.
>>731013446>Fizz Gizzard the Lizard Wizardhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rSuYJtxZUY
>>730995592
>>730995643I hate Dragonborn in Faerun.I also hate Goliaths.
the people who play baldurs gate 3 in 2026 aren't the same people who played baldurs gate in 1998
>>731016856it all depends on how well they managedside thing, but their expansion has always interested me. a malaysia studio is an interesting choice, i guess they are cheap, but didn't know there were lots of game devs there. I'm surprised they didn't open an office in Korea, there are a lot of korean bg3 fans and the koreans are known to work very hard. I like to think they opened a poland studio because they knew they would be good at dark fantasy stuff.
>>731013776>>731013854I've played the whole game but still think recreating the battle of Helm's Deep at the end of Act 1 is the highlight
>>731011057>Less than 15% of all players ever played Dark UrgeFucking impressive that the actual protagonist of the game that's barely any different from Tav was barely played because of Swen constantly hyping it up as this super hard playthrough were you would literally murder everyone if you didn't constantly pass skill checks
>>731016017>But also it’s a bigger gameI feel like the focus should be on making it denser rather than longer.
>>731017076Every fantasy setting needs at least one big Monster Race for the Barbarian class and I prefer Dragonborn over Half Orcs. All "Half" races are gay.
>>730996846"I'm in debt to Tiamat.""You mean you owe her your soul?""No, I owe her 1000gp plus compound interest."
>>731017014I would love to make 4 but male but unfortunately western games aren't all the way there yet
>>731017145Was added too late. Completion of long games is rare enough already.
>>730995643I just can't see a Dragonborn sorcerer as the "ultimate avatar of murder".
>>731017150thats what he means by it being bigger>>731017187am i the only one who dislikes that divinity will have playable orcs. their lore isn't very interesting, and they look kinda ugly in the trailer and in bg3. they're just kinda normal people with tusks. id prefer warcraft style orcs that actually have a bit of flair to them, at least its unique and kinda tailored to a certain player.
>>731017187I played AD&D as a kid (older cousin DM'd for us) so I was used to the Firbolg as being the race for that since Faerun firbolgs were huge honorable warrior mother fuckers.But later writers changed that.
>>730995872For some reason I find the idea of lesbians hot so I always choose female and pursue gay romance but every time without fail I feel nothing when it happens because I cannot relate as a man
>>731015704I wonder if Swen will give us a romanceable female lizard companion. I know the Red Prince had Sadha, but having a full-on party member who isn't character-locked would be nice.
>>731017391I hope it has a hub city. I like them.
>>731017145Swen is a dumb faggot, no one should listen to what he has to say. Stupid name too, "swen" it's fucking sven you stupid cunt
>>731017582lizard romance confirmed, but as to what gender we shall see...he also mentioned something about a polar bear so i can see a femlizard for the larian scalies and a volibear like companion to appease the gays.
