Baldur's Gate 3 and cRPG genre

i didn't finish Divinity OS2 because i couldn't stand the story (lame extradimensional bugs idgaf) and from the looks of it they're planning on telling the story with bland unpolished cutscenes so I'm not terribly optimistic about bg3. I'd prefer no cutscenes, that they might just focus on refining the gameplay and overall presentation of the game. Cutscenes will only serve to be janky and immersion-breaking.

am i jaded and wrong? i know a younger me would love cutscenes like what they're doing because it's more like a movie, but something about it just puts me off and makes me feel like the story will feel stilted and contrived in its reliance on these little vignettes. I mean, even just from an aesthetic standpoint the lighting is all wrong and the animations will undoubtedly be lacking due to the sheer amount of content they'll be trying to cram into this story.

:(

>Game developer punishes you for wanting to romance a filthy gith
Pretty rad, desu.

in-game cutscenes are not movie.

>early access

hahaha it's worse than i thought

>l... larian is based for adding cuckshit
hahahaha fucking cuck lmao the absolute fucking state of larian shils hahahaha

Top 3 konoest moments in that game:
>seeing the sea of candles in the doctor's warehouse and then the music shifts and the camera pans
>lucian telling you that he understands you can't stand down, sacrifice demands courage, and if you can't make this choice it will be made for you and then the music slows down and he jumps at you
>lohse's song fully voice acted and awesome and literal magic fireworks fly

Anyone's effort is bad news as the Baldur's Gate story is already finished.
>but it might still be a great game and just be named baldur's gate 3 stupidly!
Yeah I doubt it.

can we stop seething already?

If this game is going to be Baldur’s Gate with Larian touch, it’s fine by me.

If this game is going to be Divinity Original Sin 3 in Faerun, then I have no intention to spend a single coin on it. Make a DoS 3 if you want but leave the Forgotten Realms in peace in case you have to intention to respect the lore and setting of DnD. DoS 3 with tieflings and githyanki it’s just a bullshit bait for doing some money grabbing

>lame extradimensional bugs idgaf
that's not the story

As long as it's exclusive to this character, it's fine. The whole point of RPG is to play according to your rules. A character or culture having a different stance towards anything and that clashing with the others is what makes the world alive.

Why are you guys okay with characters having different views on politics, magic or whatever topic the gane presents, but the moment their values of sexuality differs from yours, that's bad?

look ma I'm mentaly ill

why did i move here again? i guess it was the cuckshit

>Baldur’s Gate 3 will launch in Early Access with five companions to begin with, with more coming later. Throughout the main campaign, all companions are open to romance from all other characters, and senior writer Adam Smith is looking to create more complex relationships, with the help of Dungeons & Dragons lore to mess with the players’ heart strings.
>“So, Liselle, she’s the Githyanki. And Githyanki don’t really do monogamy,” Smith told VG247.
>“So if you sleep with Liselle one night at camp, the next night you might well just find her sleeping with somebody else. And she’s going to be like, ‘oh, that was a bit of fun, wasn’t it? How are you doing?’ And you’re just like, ‘oh!’ Heartbroken!”

i was like 30 hours in and still didn't know what the story was supposed to be about so i couldn't keep playing

Game is not even out yet, calm down.

This is portraying the source material as it is. That's how the Githyanki are. You are a tourist reeeeeeing about things you never cared about until it came time to complain.

Larian's writting is shit and the tone of the game a mess, but if that's all it took to keep you from playing you might have issues or a shitty atention span.

he's doing a public service

...

>same company that made divinity:OS2
>that game was pure kino
I don't see how anything could go wrong.

Am I the only one who cannot stand their writing? I couldn't get past the opening boat section in OS2 because of how cringe-inducing some of the dialogue was.

>unironically defending cuckshit
>unironically defending larian spending time and budget adding cuckshit
THE ABSOLUTE STATE

>Turn Based JRPGs become RtwP
>cRPGs become Turn Based
What the fuck is happening. Both genres are proving they can be done perfectly fine.

ADHD

ADHD

mechanically, RPG is like climbing ladders and overcoming obstacles to feel empowered and to unveil a narrative over time. without a compelling narrative why would i want to play the fucking game? the gameplay is not terribly engaging on its own despite being competent

Obliterating your foes with cloudkill, consume their brain with feeble mind, killing four or five mooks with cleaving finish.......are these boring to you? Then, it’s good I don’t have much hope about this game

No. It's just that most BG3 and Div threads are full of Larian babies.

Their writing is atrocious.

>am I the only one
no, you're not, you never are, stop trying to feel special.
And no, the writting and tone of OS2 was the first complain everyone had regarding presentation, the armor system.being the gameplay one.

...

Larian will do a great job with the combat, but the story will suck so after the first two chapters when the difficulty and novely wear off nobody will finish the game.

just like for D:OS2 where about 1% of the playerbase had the achievements for going past the first few chapters on steam.

Not all heroes wear capes

what is what you are describing cuckshit? Its clearly a setup for a joke you mentally ill autist

Any effort is better than no effort

Just 1%? Is this true? What are you playing a game for if you stop abruptly just like that?

>the race of supermen ruled in an aristocratic dictatorship powered by their magic supremacy over the lesser races
>one superman scientist found a way to get extra magic by soaking it from some barrier to another dimension
>the king told him to stop rocking the boat and stop this research
>the scientist got together with some republican revolutionaries instead and they used the extra magic to overthrow the king and the whole supermen race
>the lesser races now rule, each with one representative being their "god" instead of the single god-king dictator
>this small god oligarchy works by the peasants living, working and dying, thus releasing a bit of essence, which feeds the gods
>the gods use their power to elect a Divine, their president, to keep the door locked to the return of the old god-king
>a thousand years later, the Divine being elected is fucking things up and has gone missing
>the old supermen race is returning as wretched insectoids who want their magic again to turn into people undead again
>you are a candidate for the next Divine, and have to run the gauntlet, against other candidates
>but the inquisition thinks all the magic casting is causing this alien invasion, so they are putting all wizards in magic chastity cages, and you start the game caged on a jail island, and soon the people seeking the new Divine get you out
>you make a deal with a demon who wants a Divine to owe her a favor for some reason of her own

I won't spoil the ending, but this is the setup. If you had a certain companion in your party, you'd know all of this by the end of the first act. If not, most of it.

The actual main story wss pretty okay and it wss the sidequest that were coinflips of cringe or cool stuff.
If 30h in you still had no idea what things were about it sounds like you indeed have ADHD. Hell, your god literally tells you the whole plot of the game in the first act, several time. How could you miss it and only draw "muh extradimensional bugs hehe" from that?

>Its clearly a setup for a joke you mentally ill autist
>oh haha i guess i got cucked haha that's funny thanks for the cuckshit swen
>‘oh!’ Heartbroken!"
THIS FUCKING COPE HAHAHAHA

glad i'm not the only one who thinks this studio can't write stories

this is like one of those trailer videos where we see cool 3d animations of characters fighting then you find out in game all you're doing is left clicking

That's because mods deactivate archivements, user.

why do you think a person would stop playing, they're not having fun

>getting invested in Githyanki
>OH NO I GOT KEKED HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME
get a gf you will stop caring about devs not pandering to your sex fantasy

I'm not hopeful simply because of the fact that Larian make fantastically technically polished CPRG's but their setting and story is always absolute ass. They're like 12 year olds writing a story for a school project. They know nothing about the limit of suspension of disbelief and seem to want to cram everything they possibly can into their games - talking animals, friendly skeletons, bright colors, unicorns, funny hammy voice acting, etc. Their writing isn't even cheap TV serial tier, it's fanfiction tier at its very best.

They don't make BAD games but I don't trust them to make a sequel to a black Isle game.

>the sidequest that were coinflips of cringe or cool stuff
I can't think of many cringe quests, and the few that could qualify are very subjective and would be some people's favorite quests in the game like the demon chicken quest, the silly stuff, List a few cringe quests. Not being dishonest, I want your opinion.

>get a gf you will stop caring about devs not pandering to your sex fantasy
you're unironically defending the devs pandering to cuck sex fantasies you fucking retard probly cause they are fucking cucks hahaha and so are you fucking cuck bitch lol

Indeed. If there is such a low number of players willing to play further the first chapters, it must be an excruciating boring game......God

D:OS 1 kind of worked because it was a whimsical setting where you can tune out and just treat it as a combat simulator.

once they started trying to write a serious story that's when things got cringe.

horrible

>you're unironically defending the devs pandering to cuck sex fantasies you fucking retard probly cause they are fucking cucks hahaha and so are you fucking cuck bitch lol
I think you are obsessed and need to stop posting on Yas Forums 24/7, you seriously need to be locked up, you aren't thinking right

>wrong
Maybe, maybe not.
>jaded
100%

Who give a shit about story in video game? are you retarded?

No hope then for Baldur’s Gate 3

>Just 1%? Is this true?
70% have Flee Fort Joy, the end of the first self contained zone.
55% have Take control of the Lady Vengeance, the end of the first act, which is about 1/3 of the way into the game.

Plus mods disable achievements.

>get near the 70% completion mark in OS2
>fights can last upwards of 30 fucking minutes

this isn't fun

hahahaha larian target audience hahahaha

I would have to agree with this. Getting facial expressions correct is really hard, either requiring a lot of effort or being not wholy convincing. I'd rather the effort be put into something else and the dialogue happening zoomed out like it did in Original Sin 2. Other than that it looks very promising to me.

I agree with the other guy. Githyanki are corny as fuck.

i'm not interested in it because it just looks like Divinity 3, but i'm glad modern day Bioware and Beamdog don't get to make it :)
