no romance feels wholesome in this game
>Hate the male companions >Love all the female companions what explains this?
ehh idk Karlach and Lae'zel are pretty good
>>737261542misandry
We love Minthara here.
>>737261304you tell em doxed bronyOP!
>>737261542all of the dudes are genuine flaming fagsthere's not a single cool or bro tier one
>>737261542I hope you are counting Astarion as a female
>>737261304Wyll is porbably wholesome. Isn't he a virgin who refuses to put out until you get married?
>>737261606Minsc is the only one that truly is your bro and he's only in act 3 sadly
>>737261606>Minsc
>>737261748>>737261764Even though they tried to ruin him to make the oc donut steels more appealing he's still the most fun party member. Shame larian got fired from their contract and couldn't flesh him out more in dlc.
>>737261587Im actually a misogynist also I just realize they want equal rights but at the same time they wanna victimize themselves like children
>>737261542If you like Karlach you are mentally ill.
For having such a "high" production value. It has no replay value unlike virtually every other RPG or JRPG. Everything feels like an artificial setpiece where you just get swept along like like an outdoor stage play.
>>737262405no im just a bottom for bad buff tall bitches
>>737261604Is there really a doxxed russian brony making these threads?
>>737262815what are you rambling about schizo?
>>737262506lol, okay buddy
>>737263385speaking about scizos what happened to the Tencent spammers on bg3 threads. Those faggots were obnoxious
>>737263465what is a tencents spammer?
>>737261542You are straight and basedThough wyll is a bro
>>737262506Are you really unironically honestly trying to say jrpgs have more replay value or are you just baiting
>>737263524A guy who spammed every thread about how tencent bought a part of Larian shares (a minority share, mind you) and how this proved bg3 was chinese communist agitprop
>>737263465>Those faggotsIt was one guy.
>>737263613Don't think that ever happened.
>>737261585Every romance ends up being pretty cute when youre not a cuck
My wife shart’s romance is pretty cute
>>737262506You niggers would hate any popular game.
>Initially Frog is utterly dismissive and disgusted by me>Thinks any non-gith is nothing but irredeemable shit>Adventure progresses, Frog notices I have brass balls>Deduces I am good enough to use as a fucktoy, still treats me like shit despite riding my dick raw>Adventure progresses further >Frog gets angry I didn't lead the party to the creche, threatens to leave the party if we don't turn back>Tell her I'll cut her head off if she leaves>Frog jaw drops, tells me she's never been so wet after hearing a direct command like that>Adventure progresses further to the end>Frog has gone from a dismissive cunt to addressing me as her dear >Holds hands with my and watches the sunriseMy dick was so fucking hard throughout this arc. The next run I did Minthara and it was everything Frog offered times 1000.
>>737263860>critique shit game for redditors>UGH, N-N-NIGGER!edgyI bet you think dark woke and dirtbag left were cool, toogb2 r/games, queer
>>737261856>Shame larian got fired from their contract and couldn't flesh him out more in dlc.Why did they get fired? Too much gay shit in the game?
>>737263957>Critique >Muh replay valueKys that's not an argument it costs just the same as your resident nigger 9 and has much more content than any nigger game you played kys
>hate the frog girl at first>do her sidequest on act 1 just for the XP>ends up being the most interesting of all party members>she also has the best character development>her story ends on a fucking cliffhanger that will never get solved because the DLCs were canceled
>>737261304God this game was so good
>>737263748No, it happenedIt happened for more than a yearHe even invaded a witcher thread once thinking it was bg3Everyone who uses the board knows, so I can only deduce you are said schizo trying to gaslight everyone your embarrasing behavior never happened
>>737263748The dude was in every single BG3 thread. It was either a bot or severe autism.
>>737264056WOTC fired everyone and tried to steal their engine so they could pump out dnd beyond slop with it. Larian left themselves.
>>737261304Karlach is extremely wholesome
>>737264056Trash talking the wotc in interviews and getting an r&d division assigned to them fired for not reigning them in. It was a con job though, wotc told them to go buckbroken wild on the game then got upset they went wild on the game. Wotc was also lying to larian overall and having them develop subsystems they were never going to add in the hopes larian could make a skeleton of a virtual tabletop simulator for them. >>737264243>>737264302Ohhhh you mean dragonirian? He died didn't he?
>>737264371Karlach was alright but I feel like Lohse is better written. They’re both genki girls but Karlach is slightly more annoying.
How come the male gith do the “you know I had to do it to them” pose, they are already hard enough to take seriously as is
>>737264451The lore team they assigned to Larian were very chill apparently and let them do whatever they wanted, when they all got fired and WOTC started pulling that srd shit they could see the writing on the wall and left. Remember they were working on the DLC more out of a sense of obligation and swen realized no one there actually wanted to make it.
>>737261304If you don't romance, withers calls you an incel and tells you to fuck gale already.
>>737262506>j"rpg"Opinion discarded
>>737261304I usually don’t get hyped for games, but I’m super excited for Divinity. Everything about it seems great. I wonder when we’ll next hear shit about it, my guess is either SGF or PAX west
>>737264598They were told to let their leash be long, because wotc was always planning on firing them for something in the end. Its how that company has always been about their IPs. On the MTG side of their business they have a reputation of hiring someone to do a book for their card game set then firing that person before the book releases and blackballing them.
>>737261542you are a gooner
>>737264836It’s so they don’t have to promote people and give raises. They just fire their entire design team and hire rookies so they can pay them dirt cheap. They know they have such a stranglehold on the market they don’t have to worry about quality.
>>737264954corporations deserve more strangleholds from governments otherwise they do shit like this
>>737261542>girls are likeable and straigthforward>almost all guys are self absorbed pieces of shitwoah what a mystery
>>737261542You are a based harem enjoying sigma Uber Aryan Chad.
>>737265174wotc needs it like you wouldn't believe. They actually removed the MSRP from their card game years ago so they couldn't get sued for controlling the secondary market.That should have gotten them a class action. Imagine a product not having an Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price in the modern age, it would only be for scamming and hiding illicit gains.
I know no DLC is sad, but I’m glad Larian have the freedom to do what they want again…and most importantly, they’ve seem to have learned the right lessons from BG3. They could have very easily went down the wrong path from its success like so many other RPG studios. Time will tell I suppose.
>>737263525Wyll is so boring and the white bread companion, I only kept him around to get dommed by his demon lady
>>737261542It's meant to be you with your harem. Just that one member of your harem is a twink(Astarion).
>>737261542I like Astarion, but that's it, the male companions are really boring in bg3It's not even a matter of wanting only girls, plenty of crpgs where male characters are my favorites, but Wyll, Gale and Halsin are actual shit
>>737264371>Tav and Karlach together in a cottage somewhere with goats, looking forward to their childrenGood ending, even if they only hint at it in the future.
>>737265478I didn't butt fuck him but he's a funny homo https://youtu.be/NFXUsoWMy84?si=Ga1wTsM2Itf4cmq1&t=130
>>737264452Do you really want to stick your dick in crazy, though? Besides, Sebille is best waifu, despite making such a terrible first impression that people kill her.
>>737261304Karlach isAstarion is once you get past his playboy persona/keep him a spawn and Wyll. both those 2 are men so they don't count here
>>737264769Probably the latter if we do get anything this year. They'll probably put the game out faster than they have their previous ones, but I doubt there'll be anything significant until 2027 at the earliest.
I've noticed a lot of foids enjoy this game and they don't typically play CRPGS like thse
>>737265824Asterion is enough of a catty bitch that I'd argue he counts as a woman.
>>7372658925e is the simplest, most idiot-proof edition that the game's had in years, and Larian added a number of QoL adjustments to the ruleset. Makes sense that it's more accessible than most CRPGs.
>>737266043>>737265892Also most crpgs have next to no presentation, just walls of text, in bg3 dialogues are basically cinematics too.It's very accessible.
>make a fire sorcerer >already easy game completely crumbles to dust>the rest of the party wonders why are they even there
Need a sequel so I can do a farm life playthrough with Shadowheart
>>737265828They said they want to show gameplay next, BG3 got its first gameplay reveal at a large panel at PAX west so I suspect a similar thing this time
>>737266130I do think the cinematics in BG3 are well done, I like the style and you still get plenty of choice, it’s not JUST a movie scene like in some other games.I’m glad that the main lesson they learned from BG3 was “people like cinematics”, going back to DOS2 and expanding from there when it comes to combat and systems design is a great decision and shows that the company hasn’t completely lose their way yet.
>>737265421>can't dom the domlame
>>737263549I replay all of my RPGS western or eastern constantly. I just looked the witcher games vary from 200 to 1000+ hours per title. Fallout has over 4000 hours logged cumulative across fallout - fallout new vegas. Dot hack GU has 226 hours logged. Xenoblade has 800+ hours logged across XBC/XBX2/XBC X. The five final fantasy games I have on steam all have 200+ hours. Each of the Persona games have 200-300 hours. Obviously not being the extent of all of them, just the ones I bothered to look at. Even the shitty mass effect games have 80 hours logged. BG3 is the only one that probably won't move past ~90 hours. >>737263549I'd certainly say do they do in terms of story and character writing on the whole. None of them are one and dones though. If I were to replay a witcher game I'd be skipping thought 90% of Geralt's dialogue trees because he doesn't really have anything interesting to say. Even if one of the more interesting and endearing parts of his character is being a dork and sword otaku.
>>737261542>bestShadowheart, Karlach>OkWyll, Astarion>mehLaezel, wyll
>>737268224>Legendary adventurers becoming sheep fuckersFarmer scum need to be bitchslapped around till their shit retard meth brain understands that they are serfs toiling to provide potatoes and meat for their betters which includes the stray dog taking a piss on them as they roll around in dirt.
>>737272219You said Wyll twice.
>>737271592It sounds like your more of fan of a Storytelling paradigm than a Choices and Consequences Paradigm.
>>737272719My bad.>okThe wizard>mehThe negro without bbc energy
>>737272529>have all the money from the main quest to do it for fun and not live like peasants that do it out of necessity.What do you expect one to do? More adventures?
>>737273503>do it for funLiterally dont (you) me you genetic abomination
>>737274404Naive childhood is enjoying seeing disney hercules getting mistreated by filthy biowaste peasants and then turning around to save them in self-sacrifice.Maturity is seeing GOT mountain slaughtering masses of filthy biowaste peasant scum and feeling neutral to good about it.
>>737261304there is no virgin achievement, why do you hate segs
*cucks you*
>>737261585I think only Karlachs makes the most sense. Want to touch but literally can not.
>>737265348anon did you turn Gale and Astarion into women
>>737268783People don’t like cinematics, they like visual novels. If you had fully voiced dialogue for everyone and well-drawn character sprites for every emotion, the impact of BG3 would be more or less the same.
>>737275513I think he killed all the other party members and those are goons. I never encountered Gale in my playthrough. Literally walked right past him and had no idea he existed until people started seething on here about "accidentally" becoming gay.
>>737264056Hasbro is literally retarded and somehow decided they could do better without Larian
I don't know why we can't have a strong, stoic, and reliable male companion in this game that isn't either clinically retarded (Minsc) or a shameless deviant (Halsin.) Larian probably would have found a way to make even Keldorn from BG2 a giant faggot if they had put him in. I evem thought Wyll was cool at first before that camp scene with him dancing around like a queer in the men's underwear aisle.
is that a motherfucking wrpg? i'll take one ice queen who only loves (you), please
>>737275595Ehhh, idk. Regardless that doesn’t change my main point that I loved how BG3 handled cinematics and I think it was done the best in the genre so far. Though that’s also tied into not having a dialogue wheel, thank god.
I somehow managed to have two relationships in one playthrough, but slept with neither yet. it's act 3 already
>>737275925Because that's boring.The characters are supposed to go somewhere. Your strong, stoic husbando isn't going anywhere.
>first playthroughRomanced Astarion and loved him.>second playthroughRomanced Wyll and he was good.>third playthroughTried to romance Gale, but stopped midway. Next time I will just go for Halsin.
>>737265279>frog and shart>not self absorbed pieces of shit
>>737261304Not like you would know, Anon Boy!
>>737277937The problem with Halsin is that his story starts way too late and he’s too static of a character so there’s nowhere for it to go
>>737277937eww faggot
>>737275513Yeah kek, they look tasty but the ai voice is fucking awful.
>No romance>Killing everythingYeah, it's kino time
>>737279507I did too, and can confirm that. AI isn't quite there yet for voice work sadly.
>>737266043AD&D2 builds in the originals are even simpler. It only really gets complex when you get into the mid level and up rock paper scissors that happens in spells.
oh man BG3 sucks I will just play the ACTUAL classic RPGs with no cuc- oh...
>>737279587>kill your romanceoh yeah its ludo time
>>737279791At some point you'll have to concede there's a reason you're saving pictures like this.
ok then maybe I'll romance my cute surrogate sis- eh...
>>737261764shouldn't have even been a companionshould've just been part of a questline and then fucked off with Harperbitch, putting more effort into their super special companion conversations when their stories were already done just takes time and effort away from the already shitfucked Act 3
>>737275142at least you have a choice on the matter
>>737280017It's fanservice for the BG2 crowd. I sent both to camp never to see them again pretty quickly.
>>737275142Not in my playthrough
>>737280130they were trying to pander to codex guys who complained that the game wasn’t “BG enough” without realizing they were just trying to find reasons to hate the game and would dislike it whatever they did
>>737261304>no romanceI actually play the Fursona games like that, otherwise it just feels cringe and weeb.
>>737277937Astarion is a by-the-numbers tortured soul type with zero surprises if you know how that kind of character worksWyll is even more white bread despite being a black manGale is simultaneously a huge cock with a simmering ego but also just a sweet lil' muffin who likes le cozy by the fire reading with his not-a-catHalsin is a horribly written sex pest who only became a permanent companion because the bear sex meme took off
>>737280241I went and played BG1 and I loved it, but I'm struggling to find the motivation to keep playing BG2 somehow, it's such a badly paced game.
>>737280412he became a companion well before the bear sex meme, there was a lot of demand for him long before the scene was even revealed
>>737271128Wyll literally becomes a god king and makes Mizora his sub in his evil ending
>>737275142in 3 of my playthroughs there was never a choice in the first place cause I don't use the druid guy who seems boring as shit
>>737280769holy based I need to see that
>>737261304It's incredible how Larian's writing somehow gets worse with every game. I prefer the generic fairy tale fantasy stuff they did in the first Divinity Original Sin compared to this 2edgy4u faggotry.
>>737282165Divinity and Faerûn are two completely different settings RETERD!
>>737265892Usually it's just a matter of presentation, because women are WAY more vulnerable to presentation than men are (especially autistic men). Dragon Age: Origins is another high-presentation CRPG and it's also very popular with women, for example. The traditional, isometric, no voice-acting, rules/math-focused CRPG (a la Pillars of Eternity or Pathfinder) is a hard sell for women despite innately enjoying RPG mechanics, dialogue, and story paths. All of which those CRPGs excel at. The reason BG3 was so popular is that it made the genre less niche by hiding the autistic stuff and upping the presentation/production values so that it can appeal to normies and women without necessarily alienating the core audience of the genre (again, just like DA:O did).
>>737282712>Pathfinder>excelling at dialogue and story paths>POE>excelling at anything but ESPECIALLY RPG mechanics
>all girls are ugly>only femine girl needs a guide to romanceShit.
>>737282165I really liked the writing in DOS2I’m hoping Divinity writing is more like that, and I hope the BG3 writing was just due to changing the plot mid development and the overall tone of the forgotten realms.I’m talking about macro plot/story tho, they’ve always been great at dialogue and moment to moment questing.
>>737282712>hiding the autistic stuff They made dicerolling the MAIN fucking mechanic instead of relegating it to a side text, BG3 completely minbroke /v/, watching the mental gymnastics to explain why it's bad actually is an endless source of comedy.
>>737283525>rolling a dice is autistic
>>737283525I was literally complimenting BG3 for having good presentation and you just have a fucking meltdown over it? Having a big elaborate animation of the die rolling is just an example of that (and a die rolling is not autistic, especially because D&D and TTRPGs are trendy). I didn't say a single thing critical about it and even mentioned how it still appealed to the core audience of the genre.The only one mindbroken is here. Take your meds, retard.>>737282821Compared to modern non-CRPGs (like Skyrim or action-focused titles)? Yes. But I was just using them as examples of the traditional CRPG elements in modern CRPGs.
>>737275925DOS2's male companions are better than BG3's imo. I romanced Beast, he did a little dance before I fucked him too now that I think about.
>>737263870based
>>737283525>the graceful clothWhy would Larian give players such a ludicrously overpowered item so early in the game?
>didn't play honour mode>ate the bugsyou didn't actually finish the game
>>737284920>honour modei'm too weak
here's the game OP is shilling by self-bumps literally all day. while being paid by tencent to do it.
>>737285848not playing honour mode is essentially the same as playing baby story mode, when everything you do is final the game changes entirely
exhibit b
>>737285895>>737285941This is the best CRPG ever made, keep seething.
>>737285848Just do custom a ruleset so you can play honour mode with save states if it bothers you. I assure you actually losing an honour mode run is impossible so long as you aren't a dribbling idiot.
>>737285895>>737285941>>737285962Get new material.
>>737285962>you can pan the camera!how many CCP slaves did that take?nevermind, I almost fell asleep 2s in
>>737261542Gale is cool.
>>737263870Minthara just stops having dialogue at some point though
>>737284920I'm never playing honor mode because the game is too fucking buggy to trust it not to fuck me over at some point
>>737286209so you are never finishing the game
>>737277937Wyll made me realize why spergs are so repulsive to women
>>737286209I only ran into two run-defining bugs, but they are reproducible and in 100% of campaigns now. Larian really left the game unfinished to work on Div 3.
I just play Trials of Tav with REL. Don't even care about the waifusbandos or tieflingees.
>>737286032I agree, the only companion that isn't a dick for no reason while not being necessarily heroic, just a regular bro.
>>737286902Larian are the masters of turn based combat. I’m hoping we get a trials of tav clone with divinity
>>737261304settling on a farm is peak wholesome
I hope character creation is better in the next gameonly being able to choose between normal or buff, and everyone with those same body types being the same height and build, is a bit strange.I’d like a height slider at least
>>737261585Lae'zel is my favorite. She's a romance you have to invest in as she becomes more personable the longer she spends around non-gith because she's quite literally an alien in-universe
>>737286209I was suicidal in march and decided I wouldn’t hang myself until I beat honour mode.Finished it a few weeks later as a githyanki hexblade. Now im working full time and taking night classes to finish my accounting degree.Thanks bg3 honour mode.
>>737287550
>>737261304Halsin is pretty wholesome as a male character.
>>737287869Bear fucker may as well not exist at all. Complete loser mogged by Jaheria and Minsc.
>>737287203So many animations are tied up with character height and build, having those be dynamic would be a nightmare to implement
>>737288224Didn’t they say that’s what they were using AI for, translating already made animations to different racial body types? Imagine with that kind of technology you can also allow for varied heights.Also the build thing you can kinda fake with textures, things like muscles or body hair you could choose between having or not having rather simply.

>>737287869He's an annoying faggot
>>737261304That's because everyone feels like they would have STDs
If you play video game for the romance there is something fucked in your lonely ass brain
>>737264239What cliffhanger? I didn’t free the frog prince and she hated me and left even though I thought we were friends
>>737288891It's a gay porn dating sim with no other value
>>737291369Gay porn is like, 5 minutes of cutscenes all together.
>>737279843the reason is to btfo "old good, new bad" retards, obviously
>>737288891Failed normalfag slithers onto 4chan to project. Many such cases
It's a pozzed westoid product made by cucked euro faggots. What did you expect. No idea what happened to them, previous Divinity games were normal RPG's for men. BG3 is for women and faggots.
>>737265348Are these the best coomer modders can come up with? Cum's got to their brains.
>>737261304worst DND ever made. >dogshit compations>too much romance, its just fucking cringe>the whole game is pretty much a meadow, a shadow meadow, and a shitty ugly beige city districti pirated it and i felt ripped off.
>>737294748>too much romance, its just fucking cringeyou have never played the gamethe romance is a tiny, infinitely small part of the game and it's piss easy to miss a few romantic scenes it does actually have
>>737261304I want to do a new playthrough but I hate the 1st 2 hours, then it gets fun, and then the darkness area sucks again, and then chapter 3 gets fun again.I get "Oh that part" syndrome with it.
>>737294878>game has more than 3 seconds of romancecringe, fuck off with this loser trash.
>>737294748>the whole game is pretty much a meadow, a shadow meadow, and a shitty ugly beige city districtits a 20-30 hour game on a railroad, but it takes 100+ hours to finish because its turn based.
>>737294748You’re being uncharitable
>>737295163>act 1, the biggest part of the game>its just a tiny meadow>how many NPC's even are in act 1?>like...... 3?what was larian doing all these years?
I'm just gonna say it. Baldurs Gate 3 has insufferably shit gameplay. The movement in particular feels awful, it's unresponsive, movement feels slow and it's an absolute pain in the ass to be precised.Another problem is the way targetting works. Who the fuck decided it should work how it does? Literal pixel perfect targetting so if you miss click by so much as a pixel you can fuck up everything. Only made worse because every enemy has an idle animation and if you click at just the wrong time you literally click thin air. I've lost count of the number of times I've gone to attack an enemy and hit thin air because they moved out of the way for a frame or two.Absolutely infuriatingly bad game to play and I'm surprised no one has fixed it yet (the closest is mods to allow WASD movement, which is better than nothing but not enough).
>>737262506u wot m8
>>737261585She's a whoor>>737261606Gale would be alright if he didn't gay rape you
>>737295278>it's unresponsive, movement feels slow and it's an absolute pain in the ass to be precised.its the same dogshit engine larian used for divinity, it barely works and looks awful.
>>737295253>>737295278Oh, it’s bait
>>737294929i didnt even get to act 2, i got filtered by the reddit writing way before that.
>>737261304sorry i dont play jew games.
>>737277694Wrong. A character can have arcs beyond some gay little trauma narrative. All the characters in this game are like obnoxious teenagers.
>>737295253Too much focusd on 100 different outcomes for any and every situation. Most of the outcomes however lead to the same thing anyway.If you want an example, in the underdark there is a quest to help some dwarves kill a true soul. The quest has like 8 different outcomes based on what you decide and what happens during the fight, they are all fully voice acted too (and if you're an origin character, each one is fully voiced for each character).The only actual difference between all of these outcomes in whether you get paid 100 gold or not.The game is full of shit like this and that is where most of the development time went.
>>737295253>>737295881bg2 is like a million times bigger than bg3, its incredible how little to no content there is in bg3.larian even forgot to add loot to the game, too.
>>737296082At least mods can fix shit like boring class design, lack of loot and so on. I've not seen mods to redesign the world or make it bigger yet though, maybe it's not possible?
I like to imagine that all the seething directed at BG3 comes from former CRPG devs, who grew massive egos from years of asskissing in their forums, combined with failed modern releases of their own. pathetic
>>737285980This. I just roleplay as wizard divination and turn on saving system with honor mod
>>737296082>bg2 is like a million times bigger than bg3and most of it are shit generic fights in shitty looking cramped corridors, BG3 content is far superior to it, every single fight is memorable, you can name any fight and I'll remember it in details, it's actually insane what they did
>>737296363The only reason you can remember all the fights in BG3 is because they take way too fucking long, and there isn't even that many of them anyway.I think in chapter 1 there is like... 15-20 fights total? And you can miss or skip a bunch of them.
>>737296562Each fight is more interesting than a hundred generic random fights BG2 due to the superior engine and unique encounter design, quality > quantity
>>737296363>>737296562>and most of it are shit generic fights in shitty looking cramped corridorsyeah i know, combat in bg3 is pure dogshit.>move 5 steps in any direction>combat starts>another 9000 hours of looking at enemy NPCs try to make a turnunplayable trash filled with jew writing.
>>737296363>bg3>interesting fightscan we see an interesting fun fight from bg3?
>>737296746BG3 has tons of fights that are incredibly generic with nothing of any real note though.Most of the early goblin fights, the masked people in aunt ethels cave, most of the duegar fights in the underdark and every gith in the creche except the boss.All of these are just fights against generic enemies that have no unique mechanics or require any particular stratergy to win. And that is like half the fights in act 1.
>>737296878Also, forgot to mention. You only remember a lot of the fights in BG3 not because of the fight, but because of the plot before or after it. A good example is the fight outside of the druid camp. It's got nothing unique or special about it, it's a few goblins and a bugbear with no real abilities or mechanisms.You only remember it because of the cutscene that played before it and because of Wyll.
>>737261304I only liked the combat and lootWriting felt underwhelming, especially after it looked promising enough in EA
>>737296878>>737296925there is 0 doubt that people spend way more time in combat in bg3 than in bg2. zero doubt. bg3 would be playable if it wasnt a combat game - its the worst part of it. >>737296943>bg3>lootyou didnt even play the game.
>>737297004I took Lathander's mace before going to the moonrise and it carried me through the act - very few arpugers have magical loot that is useful
>>737297071>awesome loot from bg3>lathanders macei didnt play it, but let me guess - its +1 dmg on friday after you eat a tomato sandwich?
>>737296845>>737296878Any single fight in BG3 is superior to the ones in BG2 simply due to the fact that terrain is actually real and not just a mat painting in the background, you can use cover effectively, high ground, drop enemies from heights, terrain effects like water and oil.>>737296925I distinctly remember the very first time I stumbled into it I was on the low ground with a squishy arcane class and got fucked by the enemy, now I always make sure to approach from the cliff side so I can control the dominant terrain feature from the start, can you say anything like this about any infinity engine game fight?You know damn well that every fight is just, prebuffing, dispel, CC, kill the now helpess enemies.It's not just about the cool gimmicks, it's the core mechanics plus the terrain.
>>737297192>Any single fight in BG3 is superior to the ones in BG2 no, not in any way whatsoever.
>>737297147>nooo I need the late game power creep where average enemies are dropping +3 weapons like its a bad Diablo clone
>>737297147NahIt acts like a permanent torch (in second map going around without a source of light damages your dudes) and is more effective against shadows and zombies (99% of enemies in act 2)
>>737297227>sigh>yes, it was +1 dmg on friday after you eat a tomato sandwichXD>larian forgot to add loot to their RPG gamecringe.
>>737297226You are blinded by nostalgia and stupid idpol.
*ahem*now this is REAL gameplay!
>>737297262im blinded by superior BG2 gameplay. >move 5 steps in bg3>combat starts>do my turn>click end turn>go to work>come back 8 hours later>the enemy is still doing its turn
>>737297261He's not wrong that most of the loot in BG3 was shit. BG2 did loot way, way better and most of it is memorable 27 years later.I don't remember half of the loot in BG3 even though I am literally replaying it right now. I still remember in the theatre quest line you could get a set of bard armor and a shortsword that gave +1 to attacks which was insane for rogues and bards.
>>737297261>>737297453inthe same thread people are complaining it gives good loot too soon, so it's just about complaining>>737284469
>>737297350>>737297453larian just made divinity original sin 3, but changed the title because divinity games have 0 fans and it wouldnt sell for shit. bg3 has to be one of the laziest asset flips in history, right up there with starfield and marathon.
>>737297614people who say there is good loot in bg3 didnt really play it.
>lets get married and have a family on a farm>the most traditional wholesome ending to a romance in human history>op's faggot ass claims there is no wholesome romanceI don't even like BG3 that much.
>>737261542i don't hate them, but i play a male so i avoid talking to male companions to avoid gay shit
>>737261304i couldnt even finish the first act, this is a parody of DND.
>>737297004there is no trash loot>you didnt even play the gameironic
>>737298727I am glad I am not the only one who still steals everything unique, even if I will never use it. I separate weapons and armor though.
I love the verticality in this game, it puts many 3D action games to shame.
>>737298972Game devs seems to forget that verticality can add a ton of depth to any given space. No pun intended. It's what made dark souls 1 feel way bigger than it actually is.

>>737299494the Phalar Aluve alone is more interesting than anything in BG1 and 2 combined
>>737299682>its a +1 swordXD
I have no clue how to deal with this retardation: >>737299494
>>737261304romance is never wholesome, it is a biological trick to get you to copulate
>>737297192>due to the fact that terrain is actually real and not just a mat painting in the backgroundAnyone who spent a considerable amount of time with BG3 will laugh in your face. Terrain doesn't fucking matter, BG3 is as much of a math game as 2, you completely bend it and fuck it in the ass with damage riders and stacking as many actions per turn as you can. Nothing else matters, it's all early game smokescreen, by level 3 it's far easier to kill an enemy outright than bothering to use verticality in any way or shapemIn fact BG2 made terrain a far bigger deal because of the amount of powerful persistent aoe effects. Getting webbed in 2 is a real fucking issue.
>>737299875>muh number go up
>>737299682It's not even in the same realm of power and design as insane stuff like staff of the magi.
>>737300142>the most exciting and awesome loot in bg3 is a +1 sword
>>737300269>doesn't understand what makes loot good>>737300317general retard
>>737299086
>>737301268>stop laughing at the +1 sword!
>>737301268>doesn't understand what makes loot goodUnlike you, i do. Powerful items in BG2 completely change the gameplay. Any high tier magical item is so strong it opens up new combat options. Shit like staff of the magi is borderline broken and turns you into a demigod. Absolutely nothing in BG3 gives you the same feeling of power. 80% of itemization in 3 is just stacking some manner of a damage rider or a condition, including aluve. It's repetitive and samey as fuck.
>>737301268>>737301846>Powerful items in BG2 completely change the gameplay. especially those you forge from several parts in the docks with the dwarf smith. >crom hammer>the equalizerfrom the top of my head. what does bg3 have in comparison?>a +1 swordsad.
>>737302098And bg2 itens are just weapon +9000.
>>737302297A fucking shifter cloak you find in the sewers in first 3 hours of the gameplay has more active abilities than any piece of endgame gear in 3. Shut the fuck up.
>>737261304>RomanceLol who cares, I'm just here for the violence.
>>737302098how about you play the game and find out, instead of talking out of your ass? and don't forget that the staff of magi is a +5 staff and that the maximum level in BG3 is 12. are you trolling or simply retarded? even a ring that gives you the ability to cast a cantrip is good loot, if this comes handy at some point and worth carrying with you, unlike some +5 sword that is effectively identical to the other 20 differently named +5 swords
>>737302098Hell just lower tier loot you find lying around is insane. Harp of Pandemonium stays relevant for the entire game for example and you find it in Waukeen's Promenade. Imagine just finding something like this is BG3's druid grove lmao.
>>737302621>stays relevant for the entire gamegreat news! most of the loot in BG3 stays relevant, since it does something unique
>>737302591Is this supposed to be impressive? One of the first shops in BG2 sells a hat that enables you to cast a mother fucking simulacrum on yourself. There are weapons producing their own unique ammunition in virtually the first hours of the gameplay. Threre's a flail with several passives and damage types you get during one of the lower level adventures and a far stronger mace you find as a part of the vampire quest line. Hell simple WANDS have more functions than this shit.
>>737302721Gear in BG3 has a very linear progression with only a few exceptions. You stop using 90% of act 1 gear by the time you hit mid-chapter 2, and then refresh it all again in act 3. Almost none of it does anything unique (from my memory literally the only truly OP chapter 1 gear piece is the bless on healing ring you can trade from the bard in druid grove), it's just damage riders and condition stacks.
>>737302815>>737302918You can build your entire character around a Titanstring Bow you get in act 1 and it's not immediatelly obvious why it's so broken.
>>737302918Such a fake post. You use mostly act 1 gear for the whole game. It's one of the big problems with the game, later on you're getting gear as a reward and there's absolutely no point equipping any of it because it gets mogged by act 1 stuff. Literally the exact opposite of what you posted is true.
>>737303324Literally any guide will tell you to ditch titanstring by the time you find bow of the banshee, and banshee gets outdated too by the time you find act 3 bows. You couldn't have picked a worse example.And i sincerely hope you're not implying you consider pic related even worth mentioning.
>>737303572If you use act 1 gear, you completely failed to explore the game. Especially by the time act 3 rolls in.
>>737302390>>737302621>>737302815the +2 Sword of Chaos from the Irenicus Dungeon (ITS THE TUTORIAL FOR FUCKS SAKE), its better than pretty much the entirety of all the loot in BG3. larian is famous for its un-fun loot and gameplay (divinity), dunno why people appear so shocked by this.
>>737303614>ditching STR mod bow for a DEX mod bowoh no no, you just outed yourself, you don't know what you are talking about
>>737303324>an amulet that can cast telekinesis once per long rest!whoa oh my god! *falls asleep from boredom*
>>737304004>thinking this plays ANY fucking role in a game with infinite free respecYou fucking dumbass. Titanstring is not even worth considering a backpack weapon for STR fighters because there are better options. It literally only exists for ultra early game where you can combine it with the hill giant strength club. The second you get bows with better on hit effects it becomes obsolete.
>>737304024it's about when you can get it, you don't start with high level spells like in bg2, also the spell has many uses due to the infinitely (heh) better engine
>>737303983Irenicus dungeon also gives you wands you can recharge by selling and buying them back, and they are stronger than endgame staff and ring effects in 3 lmao.Like, there's a wand of cloudkill there. Mother fucking cloudkill.
>>737304128>>737304145>>737304181BG2 mogs so hard is not even funny. >so much more loot>and its FUN loot>feels like thousands of different locations>class specific quests vanilla BG2 had a castle for my warrior, the sphere for my mage, or the grove for my druid. what does bg3 give me? anything remotely comparable to that?>no>fucking nothing>use your +1 short sword and shut the fuck up

>>737307127it would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic that even the first Neverwinter Nights does combat better than BG3, apart from placement manipulation like shoving.
>>737307031well lae'zel is the only playable character who isn't a mary sue, she's literally just a grunt soldier. still mary sue status aside karlach is wholesome
>>737302918You can literally download a mod in seconds that adds like 3000+ new pieces of gear to the game. And there are other mods that work with this mod to change loot distribution.I agree BG3s loot is kind of bad, but it's one of the things that can actually be fixed super easy.
this game causes me actual psychic pain listening to the writing and the dialoguewhy couldn't larian hire some autistic nerds to write their game
I avoid all the romance in this game
>>737307127>minmaxing rolls>go AoE spam which always hits/doesnt missthat's dnd for you
>>737307329When was the last time you played NWN?
>>737307352kek yeah you know a party's scuffed when the githyanki is the most normal one. And a slave vampire spawn rolling in at #2
>>737286209Correct decision, buggy ass piece of shit ruined my save in the act II -> III transition. The stupid camp ambush wouldn't trigger and the game would only barf me back to the shadowlands with every non-boss mob and npc respawned. Shit was piss easy anyway
I want big mommy Karlach to pick me up and hold me gently in her big strong arms
>>737297350yeah it gets a bit much sometimes
It took me 137 hours to complete BG3, but on the save file it said 89 hours. That means I wasted so much time restarting old saves, and I did a lot of save scumming. Though, it’s a pretty great game.
>>737295303>>737263457>stack barrels like a retard for hours>huuuuur so much replay value duuuuur
>>737311192>nonfunallowed
Why can't I find these "grenades" in BG2?
>>737309571>>737309490i finished it in 120 hours, but i am sure i WASTED 90% of these 120 hours waiting for the enemy to finish its turn.its just way to much and its just broken - i shouldnt waste half an hour waiting for the enemy to make its turn.
I hope Larian's new game is not some space shit like Shartfield.>but divinityThe other game.
>>737313432I hope it is space shit, I love space games.
>>737311361bg3 grenades are so stupid OP and make game worse
>>737313818You can just not use them anon.
>>737313818>powerful item bg2 :)>powerful item bg3 :(They exist to give some much needed elemental aoe to martial classes, guess BG2 is the celebration of caster supremacy in dnd.
>>737314252>powerful item bg2grenades in bg1 are fine, Arrows of Detonation on other hand are even stronger than bg3, in both cases i would rather them not being this strong and use mod which limits shop stock(BG1/2 shops are non replenishable), its only issue in bg1 though by bg2 most arrows got super nerfed and the most outrages ones removed completely, also in general they are outscaled hard by spells at that point.
>>737313818Never used an archer character or any of those usables and I still took the game apart like it was nothing. Who gives a shit.
man, spellhold is fucking boring, I'm THIS close to quitting
For an evil playthrough, which is better Tav or Durge?
>>737317434durge of course
>>737317720I already played Durge, and I already played as a good character too. I want to know: is Tav alot different from Durge or just a little? I don’t want to play the same thing twice.
>>737317913>is Tav alot different from Durge or just a little?Not a completely fresh experience but some new dialogue here and there alongside some unique stuff.Like 80-90% of the game are still the same, largest difference being the Orin fight and a new possible evil ending.
>>737261304Welcome to western rpgs. Cutting out romance entirely is the best bet for these sorts of titles. The writers are genuinely degenerates
>>737317913you can speak with the squirrel, instead of instantly dunking on it
>>737317913Tav is durge but without the durge content. There's nothing unique about it. You're just a guy that was picked up by the nautiloid. I don't know what you consider to be an evil playthrough, in most instances its just less content.
>>737261304BIG ROMANCES FOR FROG
>>737318225>>737318401>>737318483I guess, I might do durge again since tav is less content than durge
>>737296305There is something about Larian devs that just causes people to just go absolutely berserk.They are the only developer where I’ve seen people just make up absolutely retarded reasons to hate their games. It’s clear they never played them, but they HAVE to hate their games. A guy once said BG3 was bad because the OST had too much male choir. Another guy said DOS2 was awful because “the enemies use the same skills as the player”Just a seething unnatural hatred
>>737299875>>737300317Like, it’s obvious these people didn’t actually play the game. But they have a seething hatred for it so they must complain anyway.
>>737261304Everyone is horny and unreasonably playersexualD:OS2 companions were a lot better
I think this has more replayability than jrpgs
While I prefer DOS2 combat, I loved the new jump throw shove etc actions they added to the combat sandbox.Also I was genuinely impressed with the way they handled loot in this game. Probably the best execution of good and interesting loot in any crpg. I’m glad they are going in the handcrafted magic item direction for divinity instead of returning to randomized arpg style loot.
>>737311192>play game for hours>have fun for hours>REEEE THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKSHonest to god, I fucking hate the Skyrim coomers that infest this board but we all know that telling them to stop doing what they like is more retarded than modding Serana into a milk cow.
God I love shart
>>737318959yeah, I have no idea what's causing it. it seems like Owlcat and Bioware fanboyism with some retroactive seething towards every Larian game after the BG3 success
>>737319859Cringe
Reminder that Jenifer "Autism" English broke up with her girlfriend
The strength of Larian games is that tabletop standard of “if I can think of it, my character can attempt it”BG3 has gotten VERY close to emulating that standard. Enough to satisfy me. Going back to games like Solsta 2 are almost offputing because I’m so used to being immersed systems wise in that world, when many other crpgs opt to go for more restrictive design instead.I am glad that Larian is putting their newfound money into deepening their sandbox and increasing the freedom given to the player. They could have gone and made their games linear movie dialogue wheel action games like so many other rpg studios, but they’re sticking to what makes their gameplay systems work and that is why they’ll ultimately find success, I think.
The start of this game is so fucking horrendous I can't get immersedYou don't ever ask where you are to anybody despite teleporting in squid ship and crash landingYou automatically assume a settlement is nearby due to 'fresh water'you really don't have any goals at all other than stopping the supposed ceremorphosis that never comes that you dont know why its stoppedyou could just as well make a raft a go down the river as could do anything else but you have to take the mountain pass because the plot demands you to
>>737311361>>737313818BG3 takes place almost a 150 years after BG2.
>>737319951Well I hope that doesn’t make things too awkward if they decide to hire her again considering her girlfriend was the main voice director at Larian (great job on her end btw)
>>737285941What is this supposed to be showing exactly? It just looks like a new player playing.
>>737320019>You don't ever ask where you are to anybody despite teleporting in squid ship and crash landingIt's LITERALLY in the first conversation you have with Shadowheart. And if you're playing as a Balduran, you simply recognize the Chionthar river when you wake up.
>>737320112It's the cuck schizo. He's hounding every RPG thread and shitting it up.
>>737319614>bro look at this game you can stack boxes XD
>>737320019 I feel like since they made that part of the game first it feels the most flimsy in certain aspects.I also feel that despite going so hard on ceremorphosis the game doesn’t ‘feel’ very mindflayer to me. It’s a standard forgotten realms adventure. I feel if you are going to be using mindflayers you should go all in (maybe the original EA story did)DOS2 is better when it comes to its plot. I think it’s because they had more control over the direction of the world at large.
>>737320117who do you ask that explains on what continent you are on and that you are rather close to baldur's gate?
when i was a kid i loved the idea of a righteous knightly protagonist only focused on his quest
>>737319951hopefully she finds a man this time
>>737320384Perhaps it could fix her, yeah
>>737320187For all I care he can watch a black screen and if that brings joy to him, so be it.
>>737320384They all do
>>737320264the Tieflings when they tell you that they're from Elturel on the way to Baldur's gate
>>737315721Spellhold is literally one of the most fun dungeons in the game, the fuck you're talking
>>737261764Minsc has always been awful.
BG2 was very boring, I much preferred BG1. Soundtrack was a lot better too.
>>737297226he literally just told you a way you blithering idiot
>>737261585One is a slut and the other is only not a slut because she physically can't even though she wants to be.
>>737302815>>737303983your entire argument is retarded because you are looking at it from a purely combat level (hurr durr it have +2) in two different games, built around two different campaign levels.The Phalar Aluve is cool for being a king arthur reference and has the extra melody abilities that let you build up your bard/bladesinger with the perfect RP melee weapon.in short, you're a spastic how doesn't deserve the slightest respect
>>737321793Well even if you take them at your word they are still wrong. Those extra abilities can literally be build defining and carry you to endgame (see something like an oath of the crown build). Loot doesn’t get more “impactful” than that.But they didnt play the game so they are not aware of any of this (one guy literally didn’t know what the lathander mace did)
>>737321793>in two different games, built around two different campaign levels.Blame the moron who tried to compare BG2 loot with BG3 and got blown the fuck out, not me.
>>737322729BG3 loot is still better. It helps too that the entire combat system is more intuitive so magic items inherently feels more impactful.
>>737322881You got blown the fuck out repeatedly around the thread by several people, no need to double down on your delusions.
>>737323162What? The only thing that has been repeatedly shown is that you did not play the games and have a seething unnatural need to hate them.
>>737323298I literally have over 300 hours in BG3. I know the itemization well, that's why you've been repeatedly ass ravaged here.
>>737323609you're the only one that sounds ass ravaged.
>>737324171Took you 10 minutes to shit this out?
>>737324349case in point, NTA
>>737323609You didn’t even know what Phalar Aluve does
>>737261304there is nothing wholesome about the game in general.it's cynical, nihilist, millenial garbage writing.
>>737324421I wouldn’t say so. The themes are rather standard and redemptive. The heroes save the day in the good ending and everything turns out fine. What’s cynical or nihilist about it as a whole?
>>737320660there is no direct line going""Where is this grove located" "Oh it is west of Baldur's gate"The game couldnt even do something like that
>>737324560they're not heroes.they're "le morally grey quirky chungus" parodies of actual fantasy heroes.a tiring trope.
>>737323609>I literally have over 300 hours in BG3and you're still clueless about a finesse longsword
>>737264769I tried Original Sin 2 and the world is just complete ass
>>737324384Oh, i do. Since its singing requires an action, you either lose a turn or start singing before the fight which feels awkward as fuck to constantly micro. And in the end it's literally just another damage rider to get more out of multihit moves and that's like half the fucking itemization in this game.
>>737324902Oh wowzers, a finesse longsword in a game that gives you infinite 21 STR potions, how incredible.
>>737324632>where are you from?>we're from Elturel on the way to Baldur's Gatenot the game's fault that you don't pay attention
>>737261304The best romance option in woke modern day games is for your PC to settle down with a virgin peasant girl with MASSIVE milkers after the game ends.
>>737325491why can you not ask where you are?Why do you assume amnesiac tadpoled adventurers remember maps and locations?Why is such a simple thing as context of positioning yourself in the world just a byline and not a focus for people who don't know where they are?
I'm giving BG3 another chance. Is bladesinger a fun class? Will I be able to move around the combat encounter at like mach 4 slinging spells and swords?
>>737326082Yes bladesinger is fun to stack pile of boxes.
>>737325386Well thank you for moving the goalposts
>>737297259It also counts as daylight against Cazador, which is funny
>>737286032him talking like a redditor and him wanting to have gay butt sex with you immediately after gaining respect from him brought him down. The sex pest shit would only make sense if you were a women but playing as a guy it just makes him more of an obnoxious fag
>>737320384like all attractive "lesbos" do
>>737325276What? How? The world was one of the best parts of that game. It had a real sense of tragedy to it.>>737324875>because not every single companion is a traditional hero archetype, that means the game is cynical and nihilist That doesn’t make any sense.Also they’re not “parodies”, I don’t know what makes you think that. And there’s not really any “quirky chungus” (whatever the fuck that means) characters. Ig Karlach? Shovel and Minsc are supposed to be comic relief I guess.
for me, it’s markoheshkir
>>737271128>i want to eat a plain donut without the frosting that's what you sound like lame ass
>>737268224this but with karlach and having tiefling kids
>>737325474you're not the target audience of this genre and I hope it stays this way
>>737280241There are BG fans that aren't stick in the mud Codexfags or RtwPfags. BG was huge and isn't so niche that only grumpy old farts will recognize Minsc and Jaheira.
>>737327106The old audience supersedes the new one. Same in any franchise or really any medium. Who cares what fuckwit kids want
>>737327228I'm trying to say there are old fans who aren't also hard to please bastards. Minsc and Jaheira's inclusion in BG3 were completely fine. The others less so because they fared much worse.
>>737326548I bet you like it in the ass
>>737327479It’s strange, I dislike BG3 Minsc (it might be his voice actor) but BG3 Jaheira was really well written and was actually likable, which was surprising since I hated her in BG1 and 2
>>737261304Romance is not wholesome irl so it cant be on vidya either chud! You will he happy with your gf telling you how much she fucked tyrone before leaving him and getting mad when you so much look at another girl and ruining your day because of that
>>737326274What goalposts are you even talking about, bucko?I know more about BG3 than you do. I know how primitive its itemization is and how MMO esque it is in its design.
>>737279791Except that's only a jest
>>737328712How is adding a unique ability M-Why am I arguing with a retard?Kill yourself, faggot.
>>737327815I was never attached to Minsc so how he was done in BG3 just felt like more of the same to me. Jaheira was fantastic and had great banter in the few places she had them.
>>737328901>a unique abilityWorse than the gear you get from irenicus dungeonDon't open your mouth next time
>>737329690oh cool we circled back.I'd prefer if you went the slit your wrists in the bathtub route. A gun or noose is too good for you.
>>737328712You threw a tantrum for half the thread about it just being a “+1” item when it does more than that.When this was pointed out, you moved the goalpost to complaining that the aura is “hard to use”.You don’t know shit.
>>737329779>You threw a tantrum for half the thread about it just being a “+1” item when it does more than that.It wasn't me. If you haven't noticed, you've been blown the fuck out by multiple people.My point is that BG3's itemization is infinitely shittier, more repetitive and way less creative than what you get in BG2 and you literally cannot prove otherwise.It's also cute that you focused on the "hard to use" part disregarding "it's just another generic damage rider" part
>>737330078Ok, and I’m also not just one person. Multiple people are telling you how retarded and reductive you are being. You are the perfect example of someone who makes up shit to hate about this game to try and seem more legitimate. The itemization and combat in BG3 are genuinely exceptional.
>>737330759Still waiting for a single item half as cool as staff of the magi
>>737331231Markoheshkir has more utility and choice in its design, which I find to be more interesting even if it’s less powerful (it’s a level 12 campaign)
>>737331458>Markoheshkir has more utilityMarkoheshkir gives you several shit tier spells and reinforces the MMO damage rider nature of itemization of this game by literally giving you the same shitty effect stacks you've already seen all around the game since chapter 1. Zero creativity.
>>737331458there is literally no point in arguing with this retard anon, his mind was made up when he entered this thread.
>>737331743Yeah pretty much. His new meaningless buzzword is “MMO design” it seems.Just say the game looked offputting or you don’t like turn based combat. At least then it’s a “the game isn’t made for you”. These retarded AI generated complaints really only seem to happen with Larian games, maybe due to grognard insecurity.
>>737297310Unironically based
>>737261304>eww this frog is hostile>this half-elf bitch is a liar>see half-elf on beach, walk past her>genuinely miss the frog stuck in a cage>vampire tackles me, you can fuck off>don't pull wizard out of teleport hole>don't enter druid grove>keep going north until I see a big ass dragon and shit, too many wargs>circle back down south>meet genuinely nice demon lady let jer tag along>go to camp>wyll attacks demon lady, I stay out of it, they work their shit out>I suddenly have most of a party>go back to the druids for Wyll>half-elf us just sitting there clueless>fine you can cone with>grab vampire as well but meet vampire hunter and snitch on vampire>Frog is killed by a bunch of other frogs>kill them, resurrect her since I have a scroll of whatever the fuck>meet hag, she rips my eye out>meet bard he rips my other eye out>quit playing the game
I can't be the only one that uses a mod that gives all the female companions a penis right
>>737332132I thought Volo couldn’t do the procedure if you already have the hag eye. Did they change that?
>>737332453Idk this was years ago
>>737320048>implying that the passage of time changes the tech level in FaerunAlso you can find these fireball potions in bg1.
>>737261542Hetnoid moids are mentally ill and deserve to be raped.
Just finished reading the DOS2 graphic novel they released. It was alright.I hope with the lore cleanup they’re doing they release a lore/setting book, I’d love to get that.
>>737332132>>737332453volo's eye and the hag's eye were always mutually exclusive so that detail was fabricated
>>737333125I may have rerolled the save or something i don't really remember. I also don't remember the level order of the map encounters.
>>737331458been a long time since I saw a fag of your proportions
>>737333068They might at some point. The series has been around long enough that a Rivellon Encyclopedia might have an audience.
>>737333329I like getting the dual wielder feat and using two staves. Very fun
>>737333363I can’t imagine it would be too hard to put together. They hired a writing team just for lore consistency so you could just take their notes and add some concept art and bam you have some good merch.
>>737275142>Gets himself cucked>"Why am I getting cucked?"Cuck.
>>737333329sorry, meant to quote >>737331665>>737333409>I like getting the dual wielderme too, but I'm using a weapon for arcane synergy and elemental infusion, combined with gloves of dexterity
>>737333642she literally flirts with big H and dreams of orgies and threesomes with him. She's a gigaslut.
>>737333817>big HAnon is gay
>>737333329Balduran... had a hard lifehttps://youtu.be/81YQqMrCw8U
>>737261304Because its written by self-hating liberals
>>737333125pretty sure you could get both in the beta but yeah hes a lying faggot
>>737332132it's cool how every player has a wildly different experience, the first Act is one of the best CRPGs ever made.
>>737286032>"yeah I fucked god, shit was so cash">gay sex pest>"um ackshully" fag>can't kill him if you get second thoughts>taxed in items for even having him>makes protagonist wizards feel like filler by comparisonbingo for worst male companion I've ever had the displeasure of meetingbuilt for portal amputation
>>737337012They nerfed his magic item hunger a lot. Magic items in EA were a lot more stingy and they cost a truckload of gold
>>737337012THE WEAVE.
>>737337892I still don’t understand what the purpose of those lines were >THE CROWN OF KARSUS.
>>737261594>>737263870
>>737338391Her voice actress is very underrated
>>737337892>>737338023it's literally the main plot of the game
>>737261304People are still shilling this shit?
>>737338023To fuck you. Literally.You want to understand wtf he is about he will eventually rape you.
>>737338706>>737338914No I mean the filler lines he has that are under the impossible flag, Gale’s lines are funny cuz it’s just>Mystra.>The orb.>The weave.
Gale is the best origin to play as because of the talking cat
>>737262506I wouldn't say it has no replay value, but it is SO monstrously long I can't see muself replaying it for at least 5 more years
>>737338995He is supposed to be a Gary Stu who banged gods and can literally become one but they accidentally made him a weird quirky chungus.
>>737339349To be fair, wizards banging goddesses is a long-established part of Forgotten Realms lore.
>>737338391The only downside about her are the extra parasites iin her brain
