It'd be fine for the reasons Vorph stated. There's good itemization in BG for a large variety of weapons. Maces/flails are very powerful in particular. I don't really agree with this. Going through BG1/2 on normal mode and without the stupid mods I play with you can pretty much set your party...

Between the bears and the pink twitch drops I think this is the gayest game I'll have ever played since the Ballad of Gay Tony.

Why do you think this? I sometimes wonder how big releases impact absurdly massive servers. I wonder how much of a blip Steam gets every week from big game releases and how much it changes bandwidth compared to say, EST 6PM when Americans get home from work and power up their PCs and get...

be sure to update Rajaah's CRPG Blog thread for our entertainment with your journey.

@Rajaah recently first-timed BG1 and posted a bunch on it. I'd recommend just reading his blog thread and instead playing BG3 with us. But he goes into class choice in the second post of this thread: Rajaah's CRPG Blog He went paladin which is a solid choice.

From some brief interviews he said he was completely cut out of the loop. So who knows. Kinda weird since he's literally the only voice actor most fans care about for BG3. I'm surprised no fans confronted them on it. I wonder how good elevenlabs' Minsc voice is...

I just did a little digging. Rumor is that he's either too old to do the work (which might require some animation work for whatever reason) or it's because of some martial abuse bullshit and he got #metoo'd by his wife on some allegations that the judge threw out.

I'm surprised Steam doesn't have a system to accommodate Early Access -> Release games that have massive data differences.

Them not using Jim Cummings is going to throw me off. He's one of my favorite voice actors and his characters are so iconic and his voice is so identifiable.

Yeah the count / variety seems lightweight. I wonder if the cost per line and the number of lines per member is high enough to dissuade them from having a bunch. BG2's companion count was absurd. You were also highly demotivated to sample different companions because of how far behind they'd be...

The multiclassing rules in BG3 sound like multiclass characters will be pretty weak, but maybe some good combos will emerge.

I'd watch the highlights of a four paladin group that roleplayed the inquisition.

I'm guessing you're talking about Shard of Eternal Pain but getting a ton of swarm pets to maximize the of many hits (14+) has been easy enough I haven't bothered getting them. They also changed of many in the last patch to require fewer swarm pets to cap it (along with a huge nerf in damage) so...

Yeah I'm more excited about Starfield than bg3, but bg3 is coming out this week. If Starfield is as good as I hope it'll be a huuuuge game like skyrim and popular for a long time. A big reason star citizen had so kuch hype is that there really hasn't been a huge budget game that mixes mass...

No idea! I've been out of it since having a second kid.

I thought about doing dark urge but from reading a little bit about it, it sounds like it's going to be "Dark Urge: OK now murder this quest giver that's obviously starting a mega quest, and in return you'll get this weird sidequest maybe."

I'm struggling to chose anything but a human main because i know I'm going to spend the 270 hours or whatever of cutscenes looking at my characters stupid face and if i chose something cool like dragonface or githyankee I'll get tired of it super fast. I don't really like the character art in...

lol this is exactly my plan. All the info I've gathered is pretty much from reading this thread though. I'm also going to try out a bunch of different classes depending on how easy it is to respec.

How do they know? Isn't EA only part of the game? Or is this leak shit?

Save scumming I look forward to finishing the game with a billion inspiration points saved and having failed many dice rolls.

We'll fucking see when I play the game. I don't care about what a wiki says. But seriously I'm thinking about rolling berserker wild mage or whatever. I liked the wild magic in BG but felt like some of the potential rolls were too harmful to actually use (especially the gold loss one).

Yeah. A lot of times PCs get PC-only buffs that scale better with +DPS and +Tanking and are wasted on fixed abilities, powerful or no. This was true in BG2 when you get Tears of Bhaal and get a bunch of stat buffs, along with other rando stat buffs that would be foolish to waste on companions...

I'd watch a Dark Souls anime if it had the same confusing fever dream style as the game.

What are you more revolted by, watching Season 3 of the Witcher or having sex with a real-doll?

I hope every rpg follows Hogwarts lead and has a trans char with a huge jaw, adams apple and with a trans voice actor that doesn't even try to pass.

I'm also in the play on release with no alpha experience. Also going in cold not really looking at anything. Every shitpost i make in this thread before the august 13th or whenever release date is pure ignorance. I like to go in fresh!

For me it was Tiberian Sun when I was like 12. It released, I played through it and enjoyed it, and realized I spent more time reading about it pre-release than playing it. Now? I mostly ignore game releases until it's time unless I feel like shitposting.

A thousand games to play and this man is playing pre-release hype. Will probably spend less time actually playing Starfield than he spent coming up with a totally wrong skill tree.

And fudging the dice for enemies. Think of all the kobolds with dumpster tier attack rolling against your fighter with ankheg armor and protection rings. With karmic dice they'll start getting through after a few bad rolls.

Any man arguing on the internet about the barbie movie is soft and oblivious.

hmmm I kind of like the idea of karmic dice. Whenever I stacked ridic AC on my tank and nothing could hit him unless they crit, it was kind of silly. The converse is true.

So for the last 20 years of replaying BG1/2, I've always used a level uncapper as part of a huge number of changes to the game (along with a ton of difficulty and content mods...). With how much content BG3 alleges I wonder how much time will be spent at the level cap, which can get kinda stale...

https://www.gamesradar.com/baldurs-gate-3-lead-says-your-first-playthrough-should-be-a-custom-character/ boo. I probably won't replay this shit and the dark urge sounds interesting to me.

I can't help but think that, knowing really nothing about BG3 since I've strategically ignored it for years, my character's backstory is that he's in the reincarnated child of bhaal. https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/The+Dark+Urge seems to fit that pretty well on the surface but I'm...

Yeah I played through BG about 6 times and the last few I went full respec on all of them. I've made Minsc a monk, a fighter/mage/thief, a cleric/ranger, all kinds of nonsense. Minsc is one of the (depressingly) rare party members in RPGs that is genuinely having fun. Most party members are...

Re: class/party choice, from: https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Companions is True? So I could reroll Minsc into a bard or sorcerer?

My plan is to find out which classes are broken OP at release, beat the game as quickly as possible using any exploits I can find online, then whine about the game being too easy.
