I'm not trying to be contrarian, but I hate every character I meet in BG3 and the combat is a little boring. I enjoyed the first two acts of E33, so I'm not being a hipster.

What the actual fucking niggershit is this?
>>
>>3995874
Yeah...
I don't love bg3, but ended up having fun overall, but I only beat it while playing with friends.

The companions are not great, and a lot of them are actively bad, or I have to make an effort to not be annoyed by how they're written.
Some of the smaller stories and villains I quite enjoy though, and the set pieces are nice enough.

You can maybe stick with it if you get autistic about a very specific playstyle and kinda faceroll it.
The combat is slow, but it can be satisfying if you do something stupid.
I played a bit singleplayer again after I beat , and ended up playing an assassin and just playing hitman for a bit. Fun for a bit.

Most disappointing RPG I’ve played in many years. It could’ve been great, but they fucked it up bad. That’s why it’s so
disappointing to me, I think, because I wanted it to be good.

Play it with custom made content and skip dialogue. It's a dungeon crawler, really.

What is your favorite RPG? I basically like every notable, acclaimed CRPG from 1996 onwards, no matter what the gameplay style is and for games with narrative companions I typically end up liking most if not all of them.

BG3 is inferior to many CRPGs because of the writing

>Planescape
What can change the nature of a man? Questions on identity and morality
>Tyranny
You're the enforcer of the world's villain and the world forces you to to decide on your path
>Fallout 1
Satire on 50s America
>BG3
It's a D&D adventure, no deeper ideas

The reactivity in BG3 sucks as well, it's all inconsequential cosmetic dialogue options

I have no idea what kind of tone BG3 wants to convey, it's inconsistent. Am I meant to be invested in the fate of refugees and listen closely to a companion's personal experience of sexual abuse? Or Is this all a joke with snarky companions, bear sex, musical numbers, and so-random quotes like "no, you killed the squirrel, such a waste of a good snack!". You can have both in a game, but they need to be unified.
>>
>>3996412
Bro really snuck in Tyranny there like it wasn't dogshit.
>>
>>3996553
Tyranny writing was more compelling than BG3. I'm not talking about any other aspect of the game

Who did it and why was it Halsin

baste. I play it like the kotor games because everyone knows the good path is trash
>>

>everyone knows the good path is trash
The good path in BG3 would be killing the rapefugees, kicking down the door of Moonrise Towers and killing the cultists (this made my paladin fall btw), and then killing The Emperor which actually gets you a game over. The “good path” in BG3 is actually the evil path, the devs are just fucking stupid.

I suppose that's clever, in a way. You don't feel bad about being evil when everyone is such a cunt that they deserve it.
>>
>>3995874
I like the combat, but I get where you're coming from regarding the companions. A few of them grew on me, particularly Laezel and Astarion, but a lot of them are just sort of obnoxious. When Halsin got kidnapped, I made a point not to get him back, and just left him laying on an altar.

>>3996412
BG3 comes across to me like it was re-written a bunch of times, and they ended up gluing ideas from several revisions together in a way that never quite feels cohesive. There are some good ideas there, but the game just doesn't quite commit enough to any of them.
>>
>>3995874
Shame. I really enjoyed the game.
>>
>>3995874
Maybe Larian's writing just isn't for you? I couldn't stomach it in any of their previous modern games so I haven't even tried this one.
>>

This is exactly what happened, and why everything is so dumb.
>>
>>3995874
I saw the posters with only ugly females, obvious gay male and a generic black guy, my interest died completely and I have been ignoring it since then. I don't know how someone could like it. Was I wrong in my judgment?
>>
>>3997222
I liked dos2 or rather found it amusing at times, but despised the writing in bg3 in its entrierty.
>>
>>3997242
>I don't know how someone could like it. Was I wrong in my judgment?
Target audience for BG3:
>you're easily impressed by full voice acting, cinematic animations, and good graphics
>you enjoy the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" and like its writing style
>you're a big fan of Critical Role and/or nu-DnD, and when you see some youtuber shoehorned into the game you go "Whoa! Is that [X]? Awesome!" and make the basedface
>you either consider having nu-leftoid politics shoved in your face every 5 minutes to be a selling point that improves the experience, or you have a high tolerance for this and it doesn't really bother you or detract from the experience for you
IMO the game has some good qualities and things it does well, and I think that it could've been great, but it's just weighed down with some much garbage and stupid shit. I found it disappointing and disliked it.
>>
>>3995874
I'm the same. Most RPGs I don't like every character but I rarely hate anyone. Baldur's Gate 3 I fucking hate everybody. It's astounding how good of a job they did making everyone suck. Combat sucks, even people who like the game agree with that.

KotOR 1 light side is my favorite evil playthrough in any game.
This might sound counterintuitive, how is light side the evil playthough, but this game exemplifies what I'll call "sociopath good" where the person writing is either completely insane or just writing everything as tongue in cheek. It's holier than thou cranked to 11 in a way that I can't see it as anything other than malicious.
The first time I really raised an eyebrow at the game's morality was when you see Bastilla meet her parents and she's mad that they sold her into child slavery. The light side response there is that "not forgiving your parents is setting a bad example for me as your padawan". There's nothing that a dark side character could possibly say that twists the knife that hard.
But the cherry on the sundae to me is the very end, where you wreck the everloving shit out of Darth Malek and while he's dying on the floor you proudly declare that he was a fool to think the dark side could ever beat the light side. Except you're the one that originally turned him, he didn't believe that, you did and he believed you. Despite everything basically being your fault you're the one that got magical plot amnesia and a chance to fix everything. Revan got to have his cake and eat it too. Nearly destroy the galaxy and then get all the praise for saving it while having the nerd he bullied and ripped the jaw off of take the fall for absolutely everything. It's basically a school shooter story where you talk someone into shooting up the school and then halfway through the school shooting turn around and shoot them and get hailed as a hero. I'm really not sure what the moral of the story is supposed to be here.
If Revan was still evil and did have all his memories, I think he would pretty much do everything he did in the light side path.

Checked.
*names character "Darth Revan"*
*Bastilla begins sweating profusely after introducing yourself*

I only played early access but I liked it.
It has one flaw: They should have used the system where your lines are shortedned when you select them and then your protagonist actually voice acts them.

I found I really like the combo where you can pick your man/woman, looks and everything, but then the game surprises you by giving the little fucker a voice and personality.

Voiced protgonist really elevated DAI.

>I only played early access but I liked it.
The early access was a much better game. The release version felt like a giant pile of bait and switch garbage. I’ve never seen a game degenerate as badly during development as BG3.
>>
>>3999888
While the dark side is unambiguously evil, the light isn't exactly good. It's more neutral than anything. It tries to suppress and deny the desires and emotions that lead to evil.
Jedi don't actively go out to do good deeds. They're more like monks that they would rather lock themselves away from the world, if they could get away with it.
>>
>>3999446
It's bugged, my half-orc got your traits
>>
>>3995874
BG3 is in general just a mediocre game. A 6/10 in a world of 3/10's looks like a 10/10 in comparison.
