Baldur's Gate 3

>with the hook that they’re native to Baldur’s Gate

>Adam: This isn’t DOS2. In BG3, custom characters have a much stronger connection to the world and the main arc of the story - whether they’re from Baldur’s Gate, further afield, or somewhere else entirely (hey, githyanki).

I agree, my statement still stands though

>if you make your own PC its out of place and has no place in the story
This is something that they actually said in the AMA that Origins wouldn't work the same as in D:OS2.

>Adam: This isn’t DOS2. In BG3, custom characters have a much stronger connection to the world and the main arc of the story - whether they’re from Baldur’s Gate, further afield, or somewhere else entirely (hey, githyanki). The campaign is much more reactive to your actions - when we say there are serious consequences to your choices, we really mean it - and as you move through your adventure, you’ll discover quest-lines and stories that relate directly to the character you’re roleplaying, and the things that you’ve done. We’re confident that you won’t feel short-changed in terms of narrative breadth and depth if you choose to play as a custom character- we love our origins, but this campaign is built for all of you.

The biggest red flag was there from the start -- fully voiced dialogue.

Gents, please help. I've been trying to get into BG + Pathfinder from OS2 and I'm finding it hard. I like playing mage classes lobbing shit from ranged but I'm finding it really slow in BG and Pathfinder. Are magic classes shit in these games or is it me? What's the best class for a new player to the genre? Most people talk about Paladin which makes me think it's something worth trying out.

Oh no. It's going to be shit. Teltale games were horrible

They are extremely powerful but depending on the game it might take a few levels to get there, this is more true in older games where you're left useless without resting a ton. Easiest class would obviously be fighter, but play whatever interests you, it's no fun if you have to force yourself.

Sounds awesome.

Mages will tear trough everything late game. The early levels though are mostly a pain in the ass for them you have to force yourself trough.

At least its not written by russians who barely speak english. Pathfinder has like a million words of books and dialogue and none of it is remotely interesting. Turns out you actually need more than a basic level understanding of the language to write compelling dialogue

Nothing so far. The AMA just reconfirmed that it'll be at least a GOTY contender if not outright winner.

Why didn't they make you choose a background during character creation instead of using preset characters?

They were actually dumb enough to voice dialogue before doing an editing pass after translating from Russian. It's rather obvious.

I have a personal problem with Russians who speak and write English like shit but with tons of unearned confidence.

Custom characters exist and you get to choose their background.

WotC.

>turn based
Wait fuck I didn't know that. Suddenly I'm interested

>does not follow the story of Charname, you play as a homosexual vampire
>does not take place in Baldur's Gate, is set in a random wilderness
>does not start an epic-level adventure but rather sends you down to lvl 1
Why?

They haven't confirmed her as the canon romance yet

ironic shitposting is still shitposting

Nothing. It looks based.

Is [brand] user, you love [brand], real gamers love [brand]. Now shut up and consume.

i know you’re baiting but

>Charname has been dead for a hundred years, gay vampire is one of several possible pregen characters, also you can make your own if you don’t like any of them
>starts off to the east, already thoroughly confirmed to go back to the city
>you’re actually retarded

Trusting a serious IP to *le wacky kooky XD* guys is never a good idea.

For early level mage in bg just memorize sleep, glitterdust and web. This will take you through like all of BG1
It is in BG2 you'll become quite insane

>>level cap is 10
lol what

I'm guessing god ending is firmly non canon?

As if WotC could care. They just checked which RPG sold well and hired these guys.

>caring about some IP after it was sold to jews half dozen times
You COOMsumers are beyond retarded.

hm...

They're going to seriously milk the brand by adding levels 11-100 in DLC

All that matters is all the a Bhaalspawn eventually died, allowing Bhaal to regather his essence and return to life.

This. GO FOR THE EYES BOO

>level 100
>d&d

you okay there bud

5e goes up to 20

>level cap is 10
Boy do I look forward to casting web sleep and if I feel particularly fancy a magic missile

remember how this guy talks about how he hid his hamster in his ass in the first 5 minutes of bg2

LMAO @ your kiddie gayme

>Is [brand] user, you hate [brand], real gamers hate [brand]. Now shut up and shitpost.

>cherry picking an optional comedic relief character
Fuck
OFF

Read the wiki. God ending would have been better. Also best girl it's literally anyone else.

Nothing, I get D:OS3 and /tg/ turbovirgins are getting their panties in a twist at the same time. Things couldn't be better

I know after bg's editions they added something called catnips or something for casters so they can cast more often

BG1 confirmed for shit.

Pathfinder has cantrips and they're garbage. For the damage ones, you're better off firing a crossbow. For the crowd control ones, they're obsolete at like level 3.

So, so far, aside from the brand, why are you interested in BG3?

Funnier thing is even that cap is only reachable in its expansion, totsc and only by classes that advance fast, like druids and thieves. Maybe not even thieves reach that I'm not sure, but I know druids do

DAMAGED

Meanwhile 5e has them and they’re great. 1d10 fire damage at-will that scales with levels for fire bolt

Yeah, most classes in BG1 end around lvl 7, since is a XP cap. Again, most "true BG fans" don't know shit about AD&D rules.

Combat wise BG1 was complete shit yes.

It's no fun having an enemy roll a random crit and killing one of your party instantly for like half the game.

I'm just looking forward to another turn based party focused rpg. So far Larian hasn't disappointed me, so I'm pleased they're making this. The gameplay reveal looked promising, and the AMA sounded even better. Also looking forward to the next Pathfinder game, Solasta, and Realms Beyond.

"Is like I were really playing a MMORPG!"
-5e players

>level cap is 10

That brings some ToEE memories, that game was fun as FUCK so I don't mind.

one of my favourite companions in bg
fun fact: he has the highest mental stats of any companion, with int at 17 and wisdom at 16

>"aside from the brand, why are you interested in BG3?"
>So far [brand] hasn't disappointed me
welp

The line between madness and genius is truly blurred

>a studio is a brand
user please try.

No Troika sucks!

>a studio isn't a brand
wew lad

>good track record is meaningless

It isn't. But we're talking about Larian here.

>>So far [brand] hasn't disappointed me
...yeah that's the point?

Would you rather give it to Bioware or Obsidian considering their recent history?

Yes?
Everyone who played it when it came out thinks that. BG2 was the one who gained critical acclaim that little zoom zooms (like you) like to pretend to have played.

Those are actually 4e players.

Who have a good track record and nothing they've shown so far makes me doubt it.

It is not baldurs game

Yes it is.

He also has a line saying "Those gods wish to destroy they first make mad". They did him dirty in BG2

>Larian
>good track record
This ain't plebbit, mate. No need to lie for upboats.

What class/subclass are you going to play? Are you going to multiclass?

Big numbah good!
Smol bad!

It's not.
