it's kino
imagine if they made a third one
>>740619664Stop saying things like unc. And don't say rizz, or 67 either.
>>740619664shame the series is about bear fucking furries and trans rights now.
>>740620027BG's always been the figurehead of RPG smut. BG2 in particular was the great RPG roastying with all the romances, bear sodomy is very on brand
>>740620139"romances" are like 2 lines of dialogs in the entire game, the vibe is nothing like bg3.
>>74061996967!https://youtu.be/55NduFO4_vM?t=17
>>740621008>"romances" are like 2 lines of dialogs in the entire gameGuess whatIn bg3 its the exact sameRomances are a total of 5 minutes of content
>>740620139I don't even remember there being romances in BG2 and played it several times back in the day. I only remember stuff like this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22Ki7yp2XL0
>>740621008>"romances" are like 2 lines of dialogs in the entire gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7b4WB6oHdIEvery single dialogue here is romance only lmao fuck off, BG2 has by far the biggest quantity of romance in crpgs, to this day
>>740619814>imagine if they made a third oneThat would be kino. Hopefully it is made some day.
>>740621186>>740620139>>740621186>>740621279sorry, not playing your tranny game swen
>>740621186lol there's at least like 1 million dollars worth of mocap and cut scenes in bg3 just for the romance stuff (probably more than that actually)
>>740621008And people still pretend not clubbing faggots to death is a good thing
>>740621702>1 million dollars worth of mocapI don't know nor care about how much it costed, the fact is that there are like 2 sex scenes per character and they last a grand total of 20 seconds each>cut scenesLolLmaoSo I guess we are complaining about stuff that isn't even in the game now
>>740621839what a fucking retard you are. Not surprising, it's probably the aids eating at what's left of your faggot brain.
>>740622117I'm sorry you get irrationally angry at being objectively and provably wrong, but "the game is bad because I don't like this cut content" is possibly the stupidest argument anyone has ever made on /v/, and you can be proud of being its author.
>>740622410I welcome any opportunity to call retarded faggots retarded faggots.
>>740622864Oh, you are complaining about ALL CUT SCENES?Like, even the non sex ones?Fucking tragic thenMight as well complain your rpg has dialogue
>>740623084lmao what a retarded faggot, the STDs have rotten almost every braincell
>>740623157You incorrectly call them "cut scenes" and not "cutscenes", which is objectively wrong as your own definition points out >>740622864Like, the image you posted proves you failed to express yourself properly, this is an issue on your end>cut scenescene that was cut>cutscenewhat you actually wanted to sayTry to not shoot yourself in the foot by posting an image that proves you are in the wrong next time you try to call anyone a retard, KEK
>>740623357>blablabla I'm a retarded faggotWe've already established that
>>740621008>2 lines of dialoguelet me guess, you couldn't even figure out how to fuck Aerie, let alone Viconia
>>740623412KekI assume from your reply you have realized your fuckup nowGodspeed anon, try to reread what you post next time
>>740623530Damn you even argue like a woman lmao, that's some strong retarded faggot genes right there
>>740623571Anything but just admitting you were wrong and meant to say something else
>>740623660whatever makes you feel better retarded faggot
>hey guy you're the chosen one ok go and do shit
>>740621272The major difference in BG2 and BG3 romances are BG2 romances had race restrictions, while BG3 romances everyone's PC-sexual. Even BG1 pre-romance and pre-rape bait Imoen had porn jokes like multiple lines talking about Peter of the North's dick>>740624035That's none of the BG games though. Being bhaalspawn's a liability through most of BG1 and 2 since it just paints a giant target on you and in exchange you can... Cast Larloch's Minor Drain once a day. Most of BG1 and 2 is just you reacting to other people trying to kill you until you kill them to stop them. And BG3 the closest to being a chosen one would be if you play dark urge, and your reward for being the chosen one is a tadpole lobotomy by your bitch sister. You just get lucky because Shart's got a giga-gith hidden in her cooch to stop you bursting into treats
>>740624035Literally none of the BG games do that, even the gay one.
>>740624681>>740624570>expectations subverted :O
>>740619664>a game with an identity crisis over being action based or turn basedReal-Time with Pause is stupid. Go full turn based or go full action oriented.
>>740621008I replayed it and I had forgotten just how much of the girl's dialogue is gated behind their romances. Plus quests and encounters. And what got me was how unceremoniously a quest would be aborted if your romance flag got turned off on a girl. So for example you could be many talks deep into Jaheira's forthcoming Harper fight but because you started fucking Viconia it just gets dropped and you never hear about it again. Or Aerie and her slavery thing. It's not well handled.
>>740624898Retarded take, killing 4 goblins or a bear doesn't require a 20 minutes turn based fight while fighting an adventurer party requires planning and pause to adapt.Although I do understand small brain people need 20 minutes and turn based combat to fight anything since they're retarded.
>>740624570>Cast Larlochs Minor Drain once per dayIf you're Good aligned you get Holy Might which was fantastic on Fighter/Ranger/Paladin characters.
>>740619664Unc gem
>>740619664Unc here, try Morrowind next zoomie, if you dare. Protip: Remember to actually put some skill points into the skill for the weapon you're trying to use.
>>740625215>20 minutesplay E33, it's turn based done right.
>>740625367Played it, another unc gem
>>740619664Im trying to get to it but im so fucking exhausted at the end of BG1. I just want the game to end already and it keeps going. Currently on a lost island ice maze fighting wizards.
>>740621008i want to fuck that goat in the middle
>>740625538calm down mohammad
Played it recently and I genuinely hated it, horrible game.

YOU WILL SUFFER! YOU WILL ALL SUFFER!!!!
kinosovland yes, I WILL make a berserker/mage
What would (You) have made BG3 be like /v/?
>>740631012Ignored 5e lore entirely by making an actual sequel to bg2. Probably wouldn't do ad&d2 though.
>>740631012Waterdeep, if they had the balls.
>>740619969Gatt gatt gatt.
>>740631012It wouldn't have been called Baldur's Gate, for startersIt would have been called The curse of Strahd
>>740631012
>>740619814The bhaalspawn saga was done, the plan they had for "the black hound" even had nothing to do with Baldur's Gate (and therefore shouldn't have been considered a bg sequel by any stretch). While a proper sequel where you're playing a god and trying to rise ever higher would be cool in concept, there's no premade content for that. Like there are no creatures in the monster manuals that should pose any challenge, and there's not that much about the gods themselves either because the campaigns are always mortal-centric.
>>740632187NWN 2's second campaign is literally epic level shit, the same kind of stuff you'd deal with as a (real) demigod at least.
>>740631419>curse of simpNah.
>>740633019this. ravenloft is woke. forgotten realms is woke. dragonlance is woke. retvrn to athas
>>740633019God forbid the villain is flawed and became a villain because of his flaws
Much as I loved this game, I always had one major problem with it. Advanced enemies such as liches and dragons possess layers of magical defense that must be stripped away before you can damage them, but the combat log does not tell you exactly which kind of defenses they have in place, and you can't "scan" enemies for that information like you can in Final Fantasy. I suppose if you're a D&D veteran you will be familiar with these monsters and know exactly what to do. But if you're strictly a vidya player, it's a guessing game where you throw everything in your spellbook at them until something does the trick. And the combat log doesn't even tell you when it has worked. I still don't know exactly which spell to use to debuff the Shadow Dragon, and so I just empty my arsenal on him like a reckless retard.
>>740631419dogshit campaign
>>740619814It ended perfectly with Throne of Bhaal, no need to milk nostalgia with pointless sequels made by retards for retards.
>>740635481Just cast breach and ruby ray of reversal/khelben's warding whip/pierce shield on them. Possibly twice, they might thave spell shield.
>>740619814They made a 4th one.
>>740621008Goth muscle mommy derailes another wise valid point.
>>740624570>Even BG1 pre-romance and pre-rape bait Imoen had porn jokes like multiple lines talking about Peter of the North's dickWhat?
>>740619664What the fuck is an unc? All of a sudden that term just started popping up everywhere.
>>740637459It's niggerbabble.Short for Uncle meaning a older individual.
>>740637459A person above the age of 14
>>740632970I remember how Mask of the Betrayer was astroturfed as the coming of RPG Jesus so I played (and finished) it and it was pure dogshit in all aspects.I've had much more fun with random NWN/NWN2 modules made by autists in their mom's basements.
>>740636626I like the third game for what it is, but I think it largely fails as a continuation of BG2. I played Dark Urge (as a good guy) to get the full edgelord Bhaalspawn story, but it never felt quite right. The game ignores Sarevok's character development in BG2, and resets him to his old BG1 supervillain role without much explanation. Something similar happens to Viconia, although unlike most people I kinda dig Viconia's new look in BG3. I wondered why Minthara was the drow, evil-playthrough love interest, when they could have just used Viconia for that. They're almost the same character.
>>740638545>The game ignores Sarevok's character development in BG2. Something similar happens to ViconiaI took that as Larian making CHARNAME being an evil shit canon for ToB. Their appearances more closely resemble their bad-ends than anything, especially if you don't shift Viconia to neutral. Presumably BG3 Bhaal is CHARNAME or Viekang
>>740638417low IQ take
>>740638932>I took that as Larian making CHARNAME being an evil shit canon for ToB.Sure, that's what they've done, but I think that's a strange choice given that the vast majority of players don't see evil-charname as canon. BG2 is not like Fallout 2: the scope of an evil playthrough is very limited. Okay, you can steal the Silver Dragon's egg for the ritual, and you can fashion a piece of EVIL armour from human flesh, but apart from that? There's not much for a baddie to do. The game allows you to kill town NPCs, but then you get softlocked and have to load a save. Party members are mostly moralfags and will turn against a player who breaks their rules. Jaheira is labelled a True Neutral character, but in practice she is a sanctimonious, tantrum-throwing cunt, and is moralfagging all over the place. So players generally behave themselves and take the intended, goody two-shoes path through the game. That's why it's odd when you play BG3 and find that UM ACKSHUALLY the evil playthrough was canon.
>>740639952>>740638932What the fuck are you two talking about? How can you speak to Minsc and Jaheira and assume for a second that Charname was evil?They're using WotC's Ward of Gorion, Abdel Adrian, true neutral human.
>>740640161Yes and he either died like a bitch to some literally who Bhaalspawn or finally gave in and became da Slayer and had to be put down like a rabid dog by some literally who adventurers
I felt like I cheesed the game by using wands, baldurans shield, cloak of mirroring, time-stop and Vhailor's Helm.
>>740638545WOTC for some reason hates the concept of redeeming Evil aligned characters. Even Aribeth from NWN is still a willing thrall of Mephistopheles in 5e lore.
>>740619664bg2 was shit though compared to the first...
>>740640161>the hero of Candlekeep who saved the world from the forces of evil was... True Neutral!This is fedora-tipping wankery. He was a standard good-aligned hero. No one rolls a fucking True Neutral character, at least not on the first playthrough.
>>740619969>67
>>740640161Because much like >>740639952 said, even an evil PC doesn't change the main story much until the end. And there's no party conflict with Minsc/Jaheira/Sarevok/Viconia so a theoretical evil CHARNAME could easily have them all in a ToB party. Sarevok does immediately say "Fuck it" and start blasting if you confront him with Minsc and Jaheira in BG3, but in the intervening years between ToB and BG3 presumably they were cockblocking his evil shit. But Jaheira can still be all misty-eyed thinking about their adventures together since even an evil CHARNAME ended up doing a lot of good with all that indiscriminate murder>>740640379You did, but the BG games have always been pretty easy. Even the n00best newbie that ever did noob will eventually realize that those kobold commandos don't mean shit when you learn the sleep spell. Or that lich doesn't mean shit if you've got Keldorn. Plus the cheesy OP items make solo challenge runs more possible which is a different kind of fun
>>740640660Sarevok did his redemption, then he failed, relapsed and became evil again.Viconia abandoned the party after trying to kill Boo. That's literally it, nothing implies that Charname was evil.
>>740636626They stated in no uncertain terms that they wanted from the beginning to do a trilogy, and that Throne of Bhaal was the third part of the trilogy.I'm sure they would have made a bigger experience if they had more resources, like having 7 bhaalspawns instead of 5.BG2 is unbalanced because of the insane amount of optional content they added in chapter 2, making it the best part of the game.In retrospective, Waukeen's Promenade has the best OST in the game.
>>740640741Sarevok relapsing makes zero sense though because by virtue of being alive again he's no longer a Bhaalspawn, since the entire plan was to siphon off the scrap of his essence in each of his childrens souls to be reborn when they die, and is free from the murderers taint, he shouldn't even be associating with Bhaal cult, giving how A. he isn't one anymore, and B. he's a categorical past traitor to their cause.It's also cringe because he went from wanting to usurp Bhaal as a new god to being a willing servant. What happened to the mans ambition?
>>740619969
>>740640741All the best BG1 and 2 party members are evil, you're the son of the god of murder, the entire game is built around glorifying playing an evil character because making evil decisions in it is more fun, even if you make it through BG1 as a good guy you then get captured and tortured and your sister tortured and raped and your party members tortured and one tortured so much he can't even be resurrected all in an attempt to push you toward being more evil and getting more in-tune with your divinity, most of my playthroughs are with an evil CHARNAME and I'm the arbiter of BG canon. I'm sorry anon. The experts agree, CHARNAME is evil
>>740635481agreed. i've played the game through multiple times and that part is still too frequently a guessing game. when i finally get around to playing with SCS like the cool kids - which by all accounts ramps that the spell protection issue up to 11 - i'm already planning on using the radar overlay mod so i can at least tell what's going oni'll add that many spells and affects do or do not bypass magic resistance and too many won't tell you. the way the game plays out doesn't make this an existential problem per se but in game info in many regards is definitely lacking
>>740640893They did them all so dirty, Viconia was the worst one, than Baldur, than Sarevok, than Charname, than the Butler. Only improvement was the bitch in the dagger.
>>740619664I just want another janky slavic rip-off like Kingmaker.
>>740640826Fucking hell, those portraits are better than they have any right to be. Almost better to pick out the few duds in there like Mazzy and Viconia. That fucking Cernd made me split my gut>>740641212I still need to pick up Swordhaven at some point
I'd like a icewind dale type game. a lot of combat, minimal story and let what is special about D&D to shine.
>>740641308Speaking of slavic rip-offs, your best bet for something close like that would either be the endless dungeon delving DLC for Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous, or if you're feeling like a Chinese rip-off maybe Low Magic Age though it's turn-based. Might be the closest you've got to something like a semi-modern IWD where you roll up a party and mash monsters
>>740641308I played through IWD1 with my girlfriend (yes I actually had one, and she was nerdy enough to play this stuff with me) and I thought it was a top-notch multiplayer experience. IWD2 is less suited to multiplayer, because it's more dialogue-heavy and there are... sigh... puzzles. That's right, put everything on hold, stop having fun right now, because it's time to solve a fucking puzzle. And I hope you like big, frustrating mazes because we're about to have one of those, too. You can look up the walkthrough, of course, but it's still a pain in the arse.
>>740619814PoE isn't as good as BG2, but it is good and comes the closest to recreating the feel of the IE games.
>>740643134Nah. I just did another run and quit at the exact same spot as last time just before the Elf town. I dont know why but I just cant get into it, and I love low level adventuring like BG1, Solasta, and Kingmaker.
>>740641271>SwordhavenLooks good but its not rated good.
>>740643449PoE is a lot more melancholy and not as heroic adventure so I could understand why some people might not get as into it, but it is good.
