10/10 for heart; the dude has a heart of gold.
9/10 for proficiencies; dual-wielding bonkers with a 2hander for poke is patrician-tier. A halberd user would've been nice, but a sword suits him. Mace is an excellent proficiency because there is little chance for conflict in the party and it gives him the opportunity to tank vampires (his favored enemy) with protection from level drain. CG means he doesn't have a problem swiping the ore to upgrade the mace for kicking evil's butt.
10/10 for banter; always taking the high road, this Minsc. The only character who can shut down Jan when he gets uppity.
10/10 for tactics; stealth-surprise tard rage in the middle of a pack of enemies is a damn good ace up the sleeve. Capable of anything. Truly the most versatile warrior in the cast.
10/10 for cheese; kill off all the mephit portals except the first in Chateau Irenicus, set a pause when low on HP, give him the Sword of Chaos, pit him in the doorway alone and let him rip through mephits while you AFK. Or watch him bolster your forces by the carcass load.
Overall a 9/10 unit. 10/10 with Keldorn in the party to jedi master him into weaponizing his tard rage. Absolutely perfect companion coming straight out of the gate. The dude doesn't even need your help. You need his.

I sure did, bought it in EA and played through the finished game twice. It was a disappointing experience.
>>
>>3688744
It's also bullshit how casuals and retards will now associate "Baldur's Gate" with this Divinity:OS/Dragon Age bullshit so we'll never get a proper Baldur's Gate sequel done with modern technology. BG3 has a lot to hate it for.

Don't bait.

Baldur's Gate ended at Baldur's Gate. Shadows of Amn is a spin-off and Throne of Bhaal is a useless fanservice mod.

It made him less of a retard actually.

Still need to play that game. I have a big problem with the fact I can't make my custom 4-party team from the start. Call me an autist, I don't care. I also have a feeling I'm gonna have some other big problems, too.

But you can wear Balduran's armor through SoA and ToB. It's like the armor is the portal to Baldur's can of whoopass.

you can add different guys with time with their own stories and lore etc. quite quickly too
>>
>>3689079
>I can't make my custom 4-party team from the start.
I would prefer that too, but you can get close. Do the tutorial and avoid as much of the cliant Lis dungeon, run straight to gilded vale avoiding as much as you can, rest for free at the inn, talk to dwarf spirit to hit lvl 2, use console for enough gold to hire level 1 mercs, go back and finish cliant lis, hit level 2, use console to homogenize and average out your party’s XP, and when desired, use console to remove the gold you borrowed to hire the adventurers if you think that you should have to pay for your party members

That's what I'm talking about, mate. It just pains so much that a player in 2015 has to literally break their game to achieve what a player in 1998 had for free. This shit was considered a given to my child brain during that time. It's just a snowballing of doubt from there on out.

Minthara's VA is miscast and very inappropriate. She sounds like a gruff old lady but she was a VA in DOS2 so she was rehired like several others, and it makes them all stick out.

>Do I lose anything by not transferring over a bg1 save? Lost the file ages ago.
All you would lose is the golden pantaloons, which you could add back in with Shadowkeeper, and any tome stat boosts/XP over the starting amount if you removed the XP cap. You lose all your gold and only a couple items transfer over, and if you don't transfer in you mostly get the best ones anyway.
>>
>>3691403
>You lose all your gold
That is to say, no gold carries over, you lose it between the games regardless of importing.

>>3691210
this is the game's greatest downfall. The constant and overboarding "DAE REMEMBER THAT STUFF FROM BG1 AND 2? WE PUT IN LOADS OF IT INTO OURS"
The constant appealing to nostalgia. Netheril, Underdark, a Drow companion (even a fucking Baenre ffs), Zhentarim, Red Mages, Minsc, Jaheira, Harpers, Elminster, Volo, Illithids. Not a single original thought put into the game. Add that disastrous 5E ruleset and you got an underwhelming RPG experience.
I'll give them presentation and production value. Otoh they couldn't even model the whole city of Baldurs Gate.

Who could have expected Baldur's Gate 3 to have things from Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2. I myself bought Baldur's Gate 3 because I wanted something other than Baldur's Gate. It's like they didn't even try to make a new series/setting/IP or something.
>>
You could have talked about BG2 and BG1, and whether you like the character or not.
but you faggots decided to instead seethe about bg3.

Why?
>>
>>3691564
It's a better game, that's why.
>>
>>3691564
Because we hate gay people
>>
>>3691547
the Bhaal saga is finished. They had a blank canvas to make something truly original, but chose to instead fill it with old shit. I'm pretty sure you can make a compelling game in and around Baldurs Gate without all the nods to the past. But that's how today's media works: Always appeal to nostalgia, because they are creatively bankrupt.
I'm willing to give Larian the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't really their decision to include all that shit. Only some of it.

The game would have been better as a NWN game, imo. Lesser explored area (in games, not books), mechanically closer to what Larian did so far (you can't even select characters like in IE games anymore in BG3 -> RTS style controls), and it never had an overarching, complete, story like BG. But naming it that would have been letting a good chunk of hype on the table.

>appeal to nostalgia
That's why they made Baldur's Gate 3, and not Something's Else 1

You want something else, but that's not a flaw of Baldur's Gate 3.
>>
>>3691590
>if you don’t want soulless corporate necromancy, that’s your fault, not the games fault
They should have dropped all the pandering (it was dumb and insulting) and just made DOS3: Forgotten Realms Edition instead, the game would’ve been better. Most BG3 fans don’t like BG1/2 anyway.
>>
>>3691590
a flaw of BG3 is the appeal to nostalgia. That's my point. That's a flaw of modern media in general, and vidya in particular.
>>
>>3691594
>BG3 is the appeal to nostalgia
What did you expect from BALDUR'S GATE 3, a new entry to the series from two decades ago?

You should have expected it and not played it. But here we are.

I think you misunderstand his point.
>>
>>3691596

absolutely misunderstood. I literally said that they could have created something original with that name, but didn't.
>>
>>3691600
>they could have created something original with that name, but didn't.
Because there was demand for Baldur's Gate 3.

You're disappointed they didn't make something else that you wanted. Too bad.
>>
>>3691603
I gave you the benefit of the doubt and tried to have a polite conversation with you, but you’re either being deliberately obtuse and contrarian in order to argue, or you’re too dumb to understand what is being said.
>>
>>3688750
What makes it harder is that real-time with pause basically means that a developer has to make a RTS, which is one of the harder genres to program. It might be better to make a gamd like Dungeon Siege 2, where the player takes control of one character at a time, and the controlled character plays like an action rpg while the others are controlled by AI.
>>
>>3691603
you still don't get it. fucking hell.
It is not written law that a numbered series has to have nods/blatant pandering to earlier games/fans of the games in the series.
an overarching continuity makes sense, because they're based in the same area of the same world, but you needn't produce a nostalgia wank like that.
>>
>>3691607
But it is that, and it's one of the biggest RPGs of all time.

Maybe someday someone makes that NWN game you want.

With all the autism about Baldur's Gate 3, I have this question that I've wanted to ask in earnest. Is most of the hatred towards it due to the GAY COMMUNITY.ogg stuff? If the game only had gay romance for the player character, and instead of the bear scene, you could bang a naga/lamia or a 50ft woman, would there be less contrarians? Personally, I think BG3 is a solid game, like a 7 or an 8 out of 10. Skyrim was a game that was praised to high heaven back in the day and I never understood that. I at least enjoy BG3.
>>
>>3691649
>would there be less contrarians?
No. I will always find a reason to disagree.
>>
>>3691649
I don't like BG3 because its a larain game, not a baldurs gate game.
>>
>>3691649
If you're gay or a queer developer and asking queerness will destroy your game then no, it won't as long as you won't make it the main focus of the game and an excuse for poor gameplay and a boring story. Make a fun game first and foremost.
