Spoiler

In "Descent to Avernus" books in "Baldur's Gate section" there was big fragment about Umberlee clerics sending gold to sirens in the bay. Moneys prevented sirens before attack and they also could destroy unwanted ship.

I'm spoiled by Wrath of the Righteous. 0 to 20 level adventure. 120 - 250 hours. C'mon it's a nice standard. Also Morrowind was larger.

This is too small, and Solasta had better 3D combat.

"I think even most of Larian haters agree, that making BG3 TB is one of the very few good things they've done. RTWP was always a mistake, the only reason why it even exist is that Diablo got super popular and made it impossible to pitch a TB game to a publisher."

No. BG was was real time with pause because BIo originally pitched a RTS to Interplay. Interplay turned around and begged them to use the engine to make a dnd game because Interplay sucked so bad at making dnd games that the people who owned dnd told Interplay they were fukk ups so Interplay despertaely needed an all but rookie dev house to come in and save their fukkin' sorry asses. Fukkin' losers at Interplay and BIS. LMAO

Also, funny how peopel claim dnd games should be dnd because dnd is tb in pnp.. yet tb games like bg3 still can't do dnd rules properly. larian promised 95% accuracy... yet its down to like 55%. :D

 

[Raghar]

5E rules are meh. If BG3 will not use improved variants...

 

[processdaemon]

Judging from EA unless Acts 2 and 3 are way smaller this should easily top 100 hours for anyone who cares about exploration and side quests

 

[Ryzer]

Over-bloated like wrath, oh god..

 

[Fedora Master]

This game will push a massive liberalization of DnD, It will become even worse afterward thanks to this game. If you complained about this game, then what will follow will be even more leftist or marxist.

New Baldur's Gate is a wind of liberal (in original, freedom sense) change.

The Liberals of today are the footstools of Marxism tomorrow.

 

[Volourn]

Eh. Still will have less actually content than BG2. A lot of time will be spent in combat versus 20 goblins. LMAO

I mean "liberals" in classical, liberty and freedom sense, not American sense, where "liberal" is equivalent of "leftists"

Almost 1 week until launch boys, are you ready to fuck bears, slay evil and impregnate fair maidens?

I've still not decided what I'm going to play, and I keep flip flopping.

What options/builds are you trying to pick from?

I know I'll play a genocidal Dark Urge character, but I don't want to do it first time, so I can see more of the side plot and companions.
And I know will do a co-op campaign later which will probably be regular lawful good run, so I probably want something more neutral/evilish as my first solo.

I think I'll either play as Wyll Warlock, or Astarion Rogue? Or a less genocidal Dark Urge? I don't know exactly.

In my opinion, Dark Urge will not be a good first playthrough. I get the sense that Larian has placed the urges as key plot points that railroad you into a more direct, condensed, violent path, which will be greatly improved with knowledge of certain items, routes, etc. I definitely want to try out a Dark Urge assassin character later, especially with his unique item that turns him invisible for 2 rounds.

With Wyll, you would have charisma/persuasion checks, patron interactions, etc., although Astarion sounds like a comedic option.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

There's one scene in BG1 where a random NPC immediately kills anyone who starts a conversation with her. If it was a companion who talked to her, you can then get the NPC to resurrect that companion and then advance the scene, but if it was the main character who talked to the NPC it's an instant game over.

Yeah, was that one siren in the cliff area below Candlekeep.

Americans call "liberals" as "libertarians". Weird.

No monk as an origin character. Has there been a game where you actually get a monk companion in the base game?

From orher BG thread (there is so many...):

I wonder - if Dark Urge is model Absolute route or it should be played separately?

I think Swen said Dark Urge used to be the default protagonist, but testers complained he's too evil. So I imagine DU is much more tied to the main plot.
And apparently Act 2 is much darker than Act 1 too.

Spoiler

The implication is that Dark Urge was the original default character with ties to Bhaal / You're a Bhaalspawn.
I'm curious about them detaching it, because it leaves the question of who is Bhaalspawn up in the air. Certainly BG1-2 was capable of neutral or good Bhaalspawn, but with Dark Urge being the Bhaalspawn... is the default character still a Bhaalspawn also? Or are they something else / nothing?

Multiple Bhaalspawn is nothing new for the BG franchise, but the whole point of Throne of Bhaal is killing off all of them. Except that one weird loner that showed up later in that novel.
