mitochondritom posted:Yes, I agree with you. I think it was a very unfair comment to make, almost rubbing it into Beamdog and Obsidian, who I am sure would have both loved to make Baldurs Gate III. Personally, I really enjoyed Siege of Dragonspear and would be much more interested in a new Forgotten Realms game made by Beamdog than Larian. Judging from some of the original additions beamdog made and how they had to cancel their original projects, I doubt we would have gotten a good BG3 from them, if at all. And Wizards of the coast is quite picky with who they let even utilize the setting. They did not let Owlcat use DnD setting and have been producing some straight up shovelware this last decade. Getting a proven developer to work on this, even if it's distanced from previous entries, is better than many scenarios.

Songbearer posted:Seige of Dragonspear had its issues but I really enjoyed it and going forward it'll be in all my future playthroughs. The way people were talking about it made me avoid playing it for a long time and when I started playing it, expecting the worse, I was livid when I found out that a lot of the backlash was from people trying to disguise their bigotry as a critique I find it a boring crawl with characters I could not care much about, but nothing to actually get mad about. I did not like Tales of Sword Coast either. I usually played BWS, which I think got discontinued.

chaosapiant posted:Biggest issue I have with making a new BG is that the older games are all connected/unified by the same main character and overarching story. Franchises like Fallout only shared the universe and setting, which made making newer games easier, I think. That's why a BG3 rubs me the wrong way. The "3" in the title should suggest some kind of continuation of the original story. Instead, it's a sequel to a game that was never made because there is no "Baldur's Gate 2" that will act as a prequel to this game. Spoiler: The one behind the Illithids is Baal.

Crowetron posted:There's a reason BG2 spends most of its time sending you off to the Underdark and pocket dimensions and space orbs and poo poo. If you actually count all the different types of enemies you can encounter in chapter 1, it's close to 20. But a few of them are single encountersand the enemies in Old Sycamore and bandit fort leave a bigger impression.

Managed to take down Harg, and then spent however long it's been since my last post standing in a circle whiffing Tar Ekun with Devourer of Metal, Jubilost with Acid flasks and anyone having trollreaper on top of haste kills Harkulga almost too fast. His will saves are not that great either. And Tartuk has no ways to hurt you, so you can just grind him down.

The first question in a BG 3 presentation being 'I have never played BG before, how can I not miss attacks but not switch to easy difficulty' is almost ominous. But at least a couple questions that matter happen now. Reputation system and some contextual evil/good actions being in is good.

Bardeh posted:I think the vast majority of people are just going to be excited to play a new Baldur's Gate game. The number of people mad that it's not the same as a 20 year old game is going to be vanishingly small in comparison. It does not look like a BG game nor does it play like a BG game. It may end up a great game, better than Divinity OS 2 and a really good turn based RPG, but the number of people who expected something else is not that small.

Kanos posted:The most recognizable character in the BG franchise is Minsc, who is a doofy crazy person with a pet hamster who he converses with and refers to as a "Miniature Giant Space Hamster". There is a big difference when the game (like most of the other companions) recognize him as an especially doofy crazy person. Like how also most of them are just flabbergasted with Jan's stories. In a Larian game, he'd be one of two dozen such characters.

marshmallow creep posted:We can only hope. Give me a better Inquisition, Obsidian. Bring back Pallegina and set it in the Republics with full animancy shenanigans and a plot to make new gods or some wild poo poo that I can ignore while I try and fail for the third time to seduce the birdwoman. I am surprised people like Pallegina. After two horrible personal quests in a row, being a glorified thug for merchants and ineffectually whinging about gods without real payoff, I wonder what people expect the 3d time.

oswald ownenstein posted:I never understood the hate Deadfire's story got It mostly has to do with the factions, Choice and consequence feeling very ineffectual , and many of the lore/setting elements feeling ultimately a bit shallow. You feel more like an errand boy or very effective mercenary than someone who truly influences the events of the world and has to make hard decisions. How easy is to keep favor with everyone until the very end does not help, nor how almost nobody truly has any good arguments for you to make you side with them. It's more likely you will choose from a meta perspective or real life ideology than a faction and it's characters being compelling. The moment I got the letter from the pirate, I said gently caress it and went on my own. The gods losing most of the mystique they had from the previous game, except kinda Rymgard is my personal pet peeve.

Male soldier was the default that was presented when starting the game players just mashed the accept button to get the game started. Red hair default was rear end.

multijoe posted:Looking forward to see how this one turns out, the Kickstarter was a modest success but they really promised the world with content in the pitch. It's not imploded under the weight on its own design so it'll be interesting to see if they had to scale things back considerably to considerably to ship a finished product or they somehow actually managed to make a handcrafted 80+ hour open world game on a shoestring budget. Well, they will not allow multiclassing due to requiring too much development time apparently, so that is one consequence

Never played any of the older games but I've seen they had something like that possibly. And I'm talking something like Diablo 2 necromancer. If you mean General Variant, not happening here.
