nobody ever posts gameplay webms or screenshots of this supposed GOAT game
it isn't relevent to the medium in it's current and refined form.
You are posting from an iphone lol
Nice bot thread, faggots.
>>749415897Are you simple? Theres a bunch of youtubers entirely dedicated to posting gameplay videos of this game.
It's funny because it's true, but when I finally did pick it up on sale, I was impressed at how many options it gave you for any scenario. My only disappointment is that I couldn't name my familiar
>>749415897my gripe with this game is that all encounters are scripted to the point you can turn1 a lot of them on subsequent playthroughs. I would play the shit out of turn based fantasy roguelike. Also companions are horndog coomers but its a part of greenwoods vision i guess
bg3 wonned
>>749417283Honor Mode adds new mechs to every boss and also nerfs you slightly so you can't take advantage of some really broken systems from the base game. Also there are some good extra encounters/more enemies mods out there that change all the fights.
>>749417161looks like there's a mod as of a month ago for that
I see images and webms all the time. Gameplay is not just when you kill something you stunted juvenile.
>TAV! >QUICK! YOU MUST FIND A CURE OR YOU WILL DIE!>just kidding! Nothing bad will ever happen to you! >we want you to rest as much as you can since half the content is in the camp! >Anyway >Want to learn magic from Gale? You can maybe fuck Mystra the goddess of Magic if you do!>Surprise! It's actually gay flirting. We will make your character look sad if you reject the gay sex, and you can't kill him now!>If you do, it's a game over haha!>We're whimsy like that>Surprise! Nigger invites you for a gay dance and vows to win your heart! No you can't get rid of him>Look! Flamboyant fag lies there half naked with an exclamation mark, you better talk to him if you don't want to miss a side quest!>Surprise! It's gay flirting! But at the very least you can get rid of him>You want to romance any of the female characters? You have to work for it chud. >Anyway, look, we got some gay gnomes that never shut up about being gay!>I bet you figured we don't take the game we made seriously >We're whimsy like that>Oh yeah, just scroll down from all the flirting options with a gay bear druid if you want to progress the story>Uhh, sorry about the quality drop in act two, we only worked on act one during early access >So anyway, who cares about the tadpole thing, gay bear druid gay flirts with you!>Oh and you HAVE to save the lesbians from the evil white dad or you don't get a companion quest and all your work from act one is ruined! >Fuck off chud they have to scissor first >We're whimsy like that>Your reward for all this is a 5 second cutscene of a tree growing by the way>Oh, remember the waifu you created in the beginning? >I bet you were anticipating a playthrough where you simp for your tulpa>Surprise! It's a gay nigger squid! And he gay flirts with you! >Enjoy gay dating simulator in the city! >We have a trans drag kween cameo!>And you better go help the natives accept the refugees and tell them diversity is our strength!>We're whimsy like that
>>749419064Is that supposed to look good?
>>749417283>>749417362yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of this approach, but the way Larian sees it, the player makes his own difficulty, don't use respecs and don't use obvious exploits if you want a harder game
Larian is literally 100000 years ahead of the competition, it's insane.
>>749415897being a relatively slow turn based game means clipping isn't as easy amd /v/ doesn't play games so they can't enjoy the creativity in some fun setups to get through fights.most anons are too retarded for a game like bg3 and this is not me saying bg3 is a game for smart people.
>>749415897it's a glorified gay bear sex simulator
>>749419746>bg3 is a game for smart people.anon, women are their target audience
Just like how everyone says how great linux is for gaming yet all you see a pictures of the desktop
>>749420794you couldn't even read my post properly, could you?
>>749415897It's just not a very good game. Even on the basic level it's just painful to play because of the long animations and the dumb AI.
haters gonna hate
>>749417283>play some ways into the game>pretty fun, I want to try a new character>movieslog through hours of the same encounters, outcomes and cutscenes with only superficially different dialogue flavourThis game is not replayable at all unless you are a faggot.
>>749417161I love all the variety that Bald'n'Gay gives me, like having gay sex, and having gay bestiality, and having cuckolding sessions, and killing everyone.
>>749421350It's even worse if you've played DOS 1 and 2 since the game literally copies the encounters from those games.I honestly can't remember which game had that gimmick location with narrow bridges and invincible enemies. Oh, all three of them lmao
>>749419115This is like when Spec Ops The Line was boasting its innovative sand mechanics.>>749419064This looks like an excellent Garry's Mod game.
it's a turn based quare grid kind of game, what kind of gameplay do you want?
>>749419746>being a relatively slow turn based game means clipping isn't as easy amd /v/ doesn't play games so they can't enjoy the creativity in some fun setups to get through fights.>most anons are too retarded for a game like bg3 and this is not me saying bg3 is a game for smart people.
>>749421432you didn't fuck Lae'zel as a human fighter and humble her into a loving wife? Skill issue, man.
>>749421520now show your favorite CRPG doing better
>>749421582Neocon hands typed this post.>>749421632>But what about-Hah.
>>749421701>Neoconwhat are you even talking about lmao
>>749421432>>749421497>>749421580>>749421701Samefag
RT was better
>>749421746>pretending not to understand things>>749421785>Newfag tranny doesn't understand what samefagging meansI accept your concession and reject your gangrenous axewound smell.
>>749421818at least it's better than bloatfinder, but I don't like the lack of exploration
>>749421632you can beat fallout 1 without killing a single person, you can convince the final boss to commit sudoku. bg3 is garbage
>>749421818that's some zesty pirouetting...
>>749415897Just go on YouTube dumbass.. what a non argument.
>>749421887DH is like Wotr and RT is like Kingmaker. In the sense that it's a huge improvement over the first game. From what I've played it's so much better.
>OP acts like a passive aggressive bitch when his gay little gotcha backfirestale as old as time
>>749421856It means that you posted those posts, sharty. And since you're clearly obsessing over trannies without input, its quite clear.
>>749421901Ok but how does that relate to fun combat interactions?
>>749421170That's extreme cherry picking. That prompt before each attack is what nakes it look long and its of a specific build and the game lets you turn it off. Some of the webms in this thread already proved you wrong
>>749421901That's one of my biggest gripes with BG3. It prides itself on all the paths you can take and the freedom you have to choose and shop around, but little of it contributes to how the story is shaped.>can convince Ketheric to doubt himself and his new god. Doesn't do any interesting shit with that besides some dialogue and a phase skip>can piss off Orin about her incestuous birth, but can't try convincing her to side with you against Bhaal, going to great lengths to "save" your sister who's a victim of the Bhaal scourge with parasite powers or even some class-specific powers, like paladin cleansing her mind or druid purifying her soul, or take her as a slave like brain-dead Minthara if you're doing evil durge. No, you get Act 3 Minsc and Jaheira>can't side with Gortash to the endgame and have interesting consequences about how you deal with him, if you become allies, future backstabbers, or some other shit, because he'll always sperg and kill himself against the brain, who'll conveniently just fart on you so the Emperor can swoop in and save you.I wish more fights could be solved with le charisma powers and some meaty dice rolls
>>749422082>Newfag tranny doesn't understand what samefagging meansI accept your concession and reject your gangrenous axewound smell.Nothing changed so I don't owe you a different response.
>>749415897Because this game is not beloved for it's top tier thrilling moment to moment gameplay. It's beloved because of the top tier storytelling.
>top tier storytellingLOLLMAO
>>749422068Not OP but it's a very common thing in BG3 threads, and one user posting practically the same webm of a nigger displacing an enemy out of bounds to get an instant kill in a single thread and then never posting them in actual BG3 threads isn't a counter to a well established pattern.
>>749415897they don't post sales figures either
i can't believe people convinced me that BG2 is better than BG3. no satisfying gear/level progression, hideous aesthetic, barebone story, next to no RPG elements, boring, shitty loot-manager simulator, it does this crappy blend of having no voice acting and then some lines are randomly voiced. the whole game is based on you being a child of Bhaal and either embracing or rejecting His gifts and it is done so horribly, BG3 Dark Urge is a thing most people won't even choose and it is so much more engaging. TOB is some of the sloppiest shit I've seen from Larian studio. when people say BG3 is a shitty RPG I have no idea what games they are comparing it to
>>749421901If you are sincere and really value that kind of player self-expression then bg3 should have some appeal to you, you can literally side with the final boss.I think the only forced battle is Myrkull's avatar.
>>749420794Women are better at games than /v/, the board most concerned about Twitter screencaps, and actually play them, too.
>>749423585The only good thing about bg1/bg2 are the character portraits
>>749420794>the average anon is too stupid for bg3This and "bg3 is for smart people" are two different sentences, let's see if you can figure this one out.
>>749415897>nobody ever posts gameplay webms or screenshots of this supposed GOAT gameYou must be trolling. We had a ton of threads where people were posting tavs or funny encounters or just Shart in the skimpiest underwear they had found.
>>749419115>wasting a black pwder barrel and a potion of alchemists fire on the meme spiderWhy? Everyone knows that you save all your big boom barrels for Act 3.
>>749419064Never have I seen such fucked up UI. It's so shit man
>>749423585I love BG2 and the aesthetics is something that I really dislike, BG1 at least had a lot of beautiful countryside, in BG2 you start in a depressing lab dungeon, then you go to Nalia's castle, then spellhold, then underdark, catacombs, it's a really dark and ugly game.
>>749419556Mage hand is probably the most broken Cantrip in the game. Thanks to Larian making the game's world so interactable it maes things super spicy.
>>749425689compared to what?
>>749425856No need to compare it to anything. It's a mess.
>>749425689it works, the game just has too many options, there's no way around it
>>749425882What would you remove or change?
>>749421746>first time when i was doing this fight i just picked up the grenades in my inventory thinking *hey he dropped those i'll just use them in some late fight*>next turn my character explodedFrom that point forward i started inspecting every item.
Is this the new izzat farming method? Take games that were clearly major successes but discuss some arbitrary non metric like "clip volume"? This game is 3 years old you fucking mongoloid faggot OP.
>>749425882>I'm dumb but I won't tell you whyIncredible OP. The faggotry is unmatched.
>>749425847The art style looks like butt cheeks in both games, the character models are way too indistinguishable the only good models are the slightly bigger ones like Slayer Dragon or Giants. I don't like how they didn't add a running animation so everyone is just walking everywhere. There are some good environments here and there but the cities are really flat, I can't tell the difference between Athkatla and Baldur's Gate from BG1, things like staircases bleed into the environment you need to press down TAB to see where anything is. It's true a lot of BG2 is just really drab compared to BG1 open forests. There's this kind of blurry texture on everything too. In TOB there is this section with lava and the lava looked so bad I had no idea it was even suppose to be lava
I think Rogue needs better class systems and sub class perks. Not for combat, Sneak attack is fine but they should really be the kings of raw utility. The way the class is built it's almost never worth sticking to Rogue instead of multi classing into Ranger or Fighter or even Wizard for Arcane Trickster.Still Gloomstalker Assassin Dark Urge was fun.
>>749426391I like how they couldn't be bothered to give Minsc a model that has a bald head so he's just rocking blond hair as if everyone wouldn't notice, same with Sarevok
>>749426508Hasn't Rogue always been the utility class that only provides any utility if you happen to play a low magic campaign? At this point it's part of the class flavor.
>>749427103But that's a bad niche because magic is everywhere and the magic classes are almost always better at utility if they have the spell slot available or just in general if you're a Knowledge Bard. In 3.5e the role of every other class was to essentially do an okay job at one thing so your wizard could retain spell slots to do everything better than anyone when it was required. Most classes have gotten out from under the Wizards shadow in subsequent editions (At least for the level range of bg3) but Rogue still feels like a spell slot saver.
>>749426508You get Reliable Talen at lvl 11 which makes you into the ultimate Skill Monke. Also you get a feat at lvl 12. So if you're making a featskillmonke you do lvl 12 into one of the rogue subclasses. If not there are a bazillion of ways to multiclass.
>>749421249Wish you could play as gobbo
>>749427492In BG3 sneak attacks and ambushes work, unlike in other D&D RPGs. Also because of the nature of the map and how vertical is, sneaking ahead with a rogue is actually great. Also stealing can be hilarious.
>>749427650Reliable Talent is almost entirely worthless. All it does is let you avoid Critical Failures but inspiration already let's you reroll those.
>>749415897>nobody ever posts gameplay webmsBecause it's a top-down game and those always look like shit. People just look at them and go, "Uh, okay...a unit moved here and another unit moved there and did a thing I think...cool?">or screenshotsYes people do. All the time. Are you retarded?
>>749415897When everyone was sucking this game off i thought it played like skyrim or witcher 3 or fromslop or something. But no its shitty troon based combat
>>749419124Unironically underrated postWhy are euros/westerns so in your face about being gay? We need to go back to throwing these people off buildings.
>>749428409It's called freedom. But these days people just hate it for some reason.
>>749427492>>749426508rogues in dndn have that problem, but larian gave them a huge boost, Thief literally get an extra free action, Assassins are insanely broken for ambushes, the best thing about Rogues is that nothing they do cost scarce resources, thief tools are plentiful and you never need to rest, you can take 1-2 rogues and clear any dungeon/area of the game without ever caring about resources and resting.
>entertaining the anti-Larian schizo while he's at workWhat is wrong with you retards? Why would you even feed this dumb troll? He's been here for YEARS now. YEARS. The same posts, the same infographs, the same "complaints" and "criticisms" for YEARS.
>>749428350>i thought it played like skyrim or witcher 3 or fromslop or somethingThe best thing about this game is showing that you don't need generic OTS action gameplay to succeed.
>>749428627I just want to post about BG3
>>749428627Who cares about that faggot? We're talking about Rogue mechanics
>>749427103>>749427492>wasting a spell slot on fucking knock to open 1 lock instead of opening it for free with a rogueno one ever does this, this is literally a thing that people who have never played dnd theorycraft about
>>749428634>to succeedWhy is your framing from the company side, and not the consumer side?
>>749415897It's a slow burn, long form game, you absolute retard. It's all about character progression and tactical combat based on your party configurations. Over 3 years, anon. You've been seething for over 3 years. Is that more than 10% of your life? That's insane.
>>749428801Larian's success means more great CRPGs, they did more than a lukewarm genre revival, they showed how it can evolve and thrive.
>>749428350>skyrim or witcher 3Those games are dogshit.>fromslopThose games are good, but would be shit in a multiplayer game. I don't like topdown games and I think turn-based games are unnecessarily holding themselves back, but when you have multiple people on screen it's better to give everyone a turn so you can coordinate your actions in combat. If it were real-time, it would just be a clusterfuck and people would keep dying and going, "I don't know what happened." That's not fun.
>>749428576I'm not saying Rogues are entirely bad I'm just pointing out that they're frontloaded and almost always better off Multi Classed at some point as opposed to sticking purely to the core class.
>>749422878No it's the other way around. The fun thing about BG3 is throwing your gnome friend like a projectile, pushing enemies off cliffs, lighting stuff on fire, etc. It's all about coordinated, environmental stuff. The plot is just left wing propaganda.
>>749428868I mean look at that. That's a better UI than the fuckfest bg3 has
>>749428627No one gives a shit about your blood feud with poopdickschizo
>>749428996That's because multiclassing is an optional rule WotC didn't put too much thought into because powergamers are homos and no one cares what they do, you either accept their bullshit or kick them out of your group.>>749429094Anon, you can't even see anything.
>>749427794>In BG3 sneak attacks and ambushes workand yet sneak attacks scales horribly so by the lvl 6 sneak attack completely fall of in damage department
>>749428796That's what I just said. You exist to save a spell slot. Not as much in 5e since knock got nerfed to alert everyone.
>>749429094I... don't disagree, I played DoS2 after BG3 and I was expecting a lesser game, but it's better in many ways.
>>749429174Try mele half-orc assassin with two weapons(don't forget that you need finesse weapons for backstabbing). The synergy is insane.>enemy gets the surprised state when you atack him in mele from an ambush>assassin turns all your mele hits against surprised attacks against surprised targets into critical hits>when a half orc score a mele critical hit they roll an additional weapon die>you also get advantage for all mele hits against enemies that have not taken a turn as assasinDo the math.
>>749415965Please understand. His mom confiscated his computer after she walked in on him during the bear scene
why didn't Elminster just kill the mindflayers
>>749430273He's elsewhere busy eating cheese
>>749428541Where's my freedom to never see or interact with faggots?
how long until a full campaign like curse of strahd gets modded on it? i dont have much idea on how the mod community is going
>>749430543Having to deal with unpleasant interactions is part of life. You being too mentally ill to handle it is not my problem.
>>749430543just stay in your home forever and don't forget to break all the mirrors
>>749429258They should've just improved on the dos2 formula for bg3 instead of using d&d.
>>749429140What do you mean you can't see anything? You can see everything, you can see the hotkeys, spells, inventory and character sheet item slots. Are you fucking stupid?
>>749419203this is some bioware tier
>>749431659wotc would never
>>749431854I don't see any binaries
>>749415897>5 penis options>1 (one) voice option of a posh effeminate british man pitch bent 3 different waysCrazy that BG1 (1998) solved this on release and its supposed super sequel effectively has no voices for 3/4 of the playable roster like half-orcs, dwarves, and dragonborn
>>749432038BG1 doesn't have like a hundred hours worth of recorded voice acting for your character though, that's a silly comparison
>>749415897It's just gacha gameplay.
>>749421432Chimpout more nigger
>>749415965>jeetdroidshiggy
>>749429846Half Orc Gloomstalker 5 Assassin 5Fighter 2>Assassin Guarantees Crits on Surprised enemies>Gloomstalker Gets a bonus move and attack on turn 1>Assassin Restores Action and Bonus Action when Combat Starts even after starting combat with a sneak attack>Action Surge for another attack/move>bonus attack to use offhand weapon >Savage Attacker + Sneak attack applies to every single attack>Get to have hardcore Greenskin warrior race sex with Lae'zel afterNoice
>>749432038BG1 doesn't have voice lines for 95% of the game most of the dialogue is just repeating lines like "You must gather your party before venturing forth"
>>749419124Are the mods that fix this shit fully mature yet or should I keep waiting?
>>749433056Also don't forget, you're using two weapon fighting from fighter for better offhand so you can have and extra 3d6 sneak attack.>so if you're using a rapier you get>(1d8+5(max dex)+3(weapon bonus)+3d6(sneak attack)+1d8(for half orc hitting crit))x4 with haste+1d4+5(max dexterty)+2(weapon bonus)+3d6(sneak attack)+1d4(for halforc critical with offhand)And i am not even counting whatever other bonuses you apply on yourself with spell buffs.
>>749434130>Drink a haste potion before starting combatNo wonder Lae'zel gets so turned on by the player
>>749432415>>749433374The PC is BG3 has almost no dialogue either though? Certainly nothing plot relevant that the game couldn't do without.>Hells, something just woke up down here.>No one back home is going to believe this.I didnt ask for multiple voices for all of the fully voiced NPCs - just response barks for the playe character - so I think the comparison is perfectly fine.
>>749429846most fights that require burst are bosses that can't be surprised. I'd rather have half-orc Sorcadin that crits for 200 damage
>>749434130>(1d8+5(max dex)+3(weapon bonus)+3d6(sneak attack)+1d8(for half orc hitting crit))x4sneak attack is once per turn
>>749434508Sorcadin FEELS like a gimmick metabuild though. Gloom Assassin feels like a natural choice progression and someone whose really good at their particular thing without totally overshadowing the rest of the party at everything>>749434726Yeah I fucked up on my other post when I said you could use it each attack, that's only the Orcs Savage Attacks
>>749435158>Sorcadin FEELS like a gimmick metabuild thoughPretty sure Durge is canonical Sorcadin
>>749435395He's not a Canon anything. He defaults to a White Dragon Storm Sorcerer. Which is fine, I enjoyed it, but since I like keeping a pretty specific party most of the time, and don't like swapping them from their canon classes as much, I prefer to go Rogue with my Dark Urge.
>>749435395I dont think any class but like...barbarian fits Durge. All of the dialogue and descriptions are about how much of a savage or brute he is. Cant picture a wiggly finger sorcerer with 20 hp ripping anything apart with his bare hands. Even Orin says her biggest beef with Durge was that he was sloppy and had no respect for the performance/artform of murder and didnt deserve to be so highly favored while being basically a feral animal. Which is also not coincidentally what ketheric calls durge when he recognizes who they are in act 2.
>>749415897Any other CRPGs with similar types and amounts of murder as a Durge campaign?
>>749436134and from Gortash we learn Durge was the one who stole the crown and created Absolute plan and Orin is retard who fucked everything up. Barbarian doesn't fit that side of Durge at all
straight up just bought the game because of herdid not expect it to be such a good game
>>749419124I've found that if you kill all the gay faggots on first meeting the game becomes way more bearable so i'll give them points for that.
>>749436134NTA but I agree Barbarian funnily fits Durge the best though I personally like Rogue since Dark Urge dialogue refers to knife work a lot and there is a lot of stabbing as opposed to rip and tear.Rogue dialogue is unfortunately a bit more mercenary and money focused but it does have sone good cold asshole moments as well.
>>749436652You have to know they are there in the first place to kill them, and the game still spams them at you so what's even the point
>>749436718my game wasn't spammed with it there was like 1 lesbian in act 2, if there are other times it was blink and you'll miss it or you clicked the 'fuck my ass, Gale' option
I take the Albino aesthetic from the default Dragonborn Dark Urge and slap it on a Half Orc.
>>749423585>no satisfying gearLook there's plenty of shit you can level at BG2 but gear progression ain't one of them, that game is full of fantastic items.
>>749427492If you actually played 3.5e you'd know the real OP classes were cleric and druid.
If doubles I'll buy this crap
>>749439496You mean the Nature Wizard and God Wizard
>>749439430in BG3 there are items that has real synergy with your specific character like gloves that let you use your cantrip twice so your blasting Eldritch Blasts or something that adds 2 psychic damage per hit for attacks that hit multiple time like Magic Missile, in BG2 everything is kind of a stat stick. Aside from the speed boots the most meaningful gear I got was probably the Flail of the Ages but that didn't change anything about my character, the golem manual was pretty cool I guess and the 2handed sword from the sewer that can talk, but nothing really synergized with my characters. Although it's not like there is anything to synergize with the characters don't really have flavourful fighting styles especially the meleeAnd another big thing about gear progression is visual, seeing your character look more and more badass. The artstyle in BG1/2 don't help with that. (In BG3 your gear starts out looking pretty simple meanwhile for some reason BG1/2 made the default helmet this extravagant bulky thing with wings looking like something you should get from endgame)
>>749415897>145 replies>24 imagesSimply epic. not even trying.
>>749425536>he needs barrels to win the game
>>749419124>>749436652>>749436718>>749436871GENUINE BOT THREAD. these replies ALWAYS appear in EVERY baldur's gate thread.
>>749421901and what about combat?
>>749434726Once per turn per weapon? I don't have the game installed right now but i remember the enemies exploding an having huge stacks of damage on them similar to getting hit by open hand monk.
>>749421901>>749422687This is why Charisma as a stat should be removed from every RPG. It leads to stupid shit like this where people want stat checks to freely skip fights and even get extra items or story content for doing so.
>>749436586her sex scene is straight up the best one, I love her
My John Baldur died in knee deep water in the house of hope right before the heal kicked in and nobody could bend down and revive him so that made me laugh.
