ah of course... this is the intended audience
SoD sucked dick but I liked this viccy sprite a lot
Truly a mindblowing conversation we're having. You are definitely succeeding in making me see your way and not acting like a child.
Cringe and bluepilled.
None of my D&D friends play video games anymore, they're too old for vidya
I haven't been involved in DnD rpgs in a while but I hope all the hearsay in the (previous) thread about settings being injected with shitty SJW influence is just typical Yea Forums shitposting. I just want cookie cutter fantasy stories about mortals, demi-gods and dragonslaying, not any of that this character is a bisexual half-orc transgender bard nonsense
Will we see his return, boys?
milf imoen best imoen
With who? I don't have any friends.
Hopefully there won't be stuff such as Lone Wolf, that shit made both DOS games too easy.
>bg3
>larian
disgusting
Reminder that it will use a swine game as it’s base instead of sticking to AD&D rule set and should not be played. But if you absolutely must, then at least pirate it.
ty beamdog i will now buy your enhanced editions
>Play pretend
>too old for video games though
Divinity OS 1 and 2 are unironically better than any of these old boomer rpgs, larian will only make it better
The last thing we need is Larian butchering Baldur's Gate legacy even more after that enhanced edition bullshit. They should have stayed contained in their shitty Divinity franchise.
>too old for vidya
This doesn't happen. They just lost interest.
yawn. i'd care if a real studio like atlus or falcom was making it instead.
Yes, as a prop on a wall, called "Painting of a pig". 250 gold at the vendor.
>not wanting a bi tranny orc bard in their party
Where is your sense of adventure?
It is time for more... experiments.
Fallout and Arcanum would be better/as good as DOS if only they had full party control, what a shame.
I hope not. His story is complete. His arc was satisfying and finished. No need to continue it.
It actually can happen. As you get older your eyes get worse at tracking movement and this can lead to motion sickness in certain games. Maybe not isometric RPGs but first person games become unplayable. Even Doom can make real boomers physically sick.
In my country's Facebook D&D page they're always arranging groups
I'm 30 and I'm the youngest of our group
We have a guy who is 37, 39, 42 and a 55 year old woman with a son my age
Baldur's Gate never used a D&D system.
The bi half-orc in Pathfinder was pretty based though.
Fallout and Arcanum are better than anything Larian has ever done.
Post CRPG kino.
YOU WILL SUFFER! YOU WILL /ALL/ SUFFER!
D:OS is kino in the best Hollywood tradition of endless plot twists and an endlessly escalating climax to a degree that you didn't even think was possible. Those games leave you exhausted and with a feeling that you've just experienced something epic. Larian are the azor ahai among the possible BG-revival devs.
I hope not. Would just come off as fan servicey most likely. David Warner is still working amazingly enough, so it’s possible and if the writing isn’t shit it would be great. But the odds of it being done well are extremely low.
Gimme another Dark Alliance so I can play jew jackrabbit with my friends
Sven shitting on biodrones and obsidiniggers
faaag
Divinity: OS was pretty good in the combat department but only because it diverges in a lot of ways from the mold of traditional WRPGs like Baldur's Gate.
The risk here is that they will combine shitty old D&D-based combat with Larian's reddit-tier writing and end up with no redeeming features.
>Larian
So, atrocious art style and absolute garbage OC RPG ruleset? No thanks. I'll just replay the IE games again instead of giving money to this garbage eurojank studio.
Sounds comfy.
I love Divinity OS 1 and 2 but lets not pretend like they don't have their own problems. Remember how broken the AOE abilities could get?
Who sorcerer here
I was about to make a snarky reply but I get the feeling I'm about to have my ass handed to me by a real expert
So yeah, I'll say it, Baldur's Gate used AD&D system
Only CRPG I've played is D:OS2 and I really liked it but sometimes I felt like a fucking retard when I had to resort to googling a solution or something
Am I too brainlet for Baldur's Gate
Also can I play 2 before 1
Larian can be surprisingly good at different gameplay styles though. Diablo bores me out of my mind but somehow these Belgoids managed to make the same kind of gameplay entertain me in Divine Divinity.
No one cares. Baldur's gate is bad.
Hello, I'm the only good Beamdog character.
I will play one when the new stratagems is released.
It's definitely stock dnd ruleset, the legal text specifically mentions it.
Did he REALLY deserve to be raped by demons in a lake of fire for all eternity?
Why would I treat a tech illiterate imbecile seriously?
Everyone else is perfectly capable of checking for themselves, not my fault you're a moron.
You're now hearing BG2 main theme manually.
BG:s AD&D was somewhat modified. In "real" ad&d, the game is turn based. In Baldur's gate, rounds are played out in real time.
I tried Baldur's Gate 1 and got my ass handed to me one time too many by the fifth map or so and I gave up
It's kinda hard and needs quickloads a few times, maybe I'm just a brainlet
Normal enemies were fine, it's the surprises that got me. Like you walk into an inn and get involved in a fight that suddenly blows you to pieces
Yes.
I saw the thumbnail pic and for some reason thought were going to get a Halloween game.
The system BG uses is a shitty implementation of the ad&d system.
About that SJW influences.
The fact that they're all real time with pause bullshit is enough to know they don't use a proper system.
>t. Obsidian tranny
You are a brainlet. Game gets really easy even on insane after you know what to do.
Spoken like a scrub who hasn't even cleared BG1
oh look the illuminati are dragging out another one of my beat-to-death "beloved ip's" to get me to worship satan by proxy. nice try. i'm christpilled now, miss me with that devil shit. call me when they make a game about spreading the gospel and dabbing on unbelievers.
>turn based instead of rtwp
>Larian humor
It's gonna be shit.
I hope they make it turnbased, rtwp is probably the worst combat system that exists.
I've just finished playing both DOS games and I saw no traces of forced SJWism.
Larian already made two GOTY's in a row and DOS 2 is the best CRPG ever made. If this absolutely mad men won't stop they'd be considered new Troika games.
Amen brother
fuck off owlcat
>yfw it's six player co-op so you can play it with your old D&D friends
Alright so I'm just going to subscribe to the idea that not even you think this is Baldur's Gate 3 since you clearly have no interest defending your side and simply want to talk about Baldur's Gate but couldn't think of any new and exciting way to do so.
Ah yes, what else to do in a medieval fantasy setting than to navel gaze all day about what it truly means to be a man or a woman or whether gender is merely an outdated societal construct
lol larianiggers know nobody cares about this game so they are creating fake hype about some baldur's gate 3 imaginary scenario

You have to be so incredibly far in denial to even consider this dude. You know how hard they'd get sued for using the WoTC, D&D, and Baldur's Gate names without permission in a marketing campaign like this?

Were getting a DnD game thats actually fucking good, cant believe it.
Man i dont even know what im more excited about, the game or the fucking salt.
All of that time that CRPG grognards worshipped their WORDS WORDS WORDS RTWP trash , and now they are getting a fucking DnD Larian game, and they are going to like it, because these drones cannot NOT buy a Baldurs Gate game.
1 and 2 are the same. Why
>"It may be a touch unladylike, but I'm going to slit your throat, I am."
Most people don't know he exists cause he was a secret character like Wilson in BG2EE.
so what's the best way to play BG1 and 2? I heard the Enhanced Editions are shit, is that true?
Take this last (You) and don't spend it all in one place.
Those barks were the best
>My 'otel's as clean as an elven arse
You don't like it, you bigot? Are you transphobic or something? Fucking Trump voter. Die.
You can either mod them into becoming like the EEs or just play the EEs and ignore the donutsteels, it's whatever.
>no source
>story ended with everyone in your party going on to live their lives as scarred broken individuals at the peak of their respective careers.
>CHARNAME is literally a god
This is unfollowable, therefor it HAS to be a new story. And that means it shouldn't be called Baldur's gate 3.
If it's an actual DnD ruleset and no OC shit then I'll definitely give this a try.
Jokes on you I am a libertarian leaf living in Ireland.
While the bisexual half-orc is an unlikable cunt, him being bisexual has nothing to do with him being the worst party member.
Only a child could be this bad at arguing. Get back to your homework, kid.
why strawman so hard?
play Champions of Norrath and LOTR War in the North, same company virtually identical gameplay, more different classes
>Baldur's Gate
The favorite game of idiots all around the world?
A divinity 3 with DnD rulesets would be a dream game come true.
I hope if it has party banter it is good. Banter in some recent rpgs didn't feel good to me
Baldurs gate is a shit serie only neckeards with huge nostalgia goggles think they're relevant games.
Sad to see Larian waste their time and money on this, i thought they were done with licensed stuff.
OC Larian ruleset would be vastly superior to DnD, especialy if its DnD 5E which is notoriously boring, beeing basically a watered down version of 3.5, getting rid of the bloat, but not of the jank.
Unpopular opinion: There deserved to be a proper 4E video game, not that shitty MMO we got.
What if they're actually making Half Life 3?
>WotC currently merging anything it can get it's hands on with 5e
This is 100% going to use the 5e ruleset
There are literal spells that can change your gender in that universe, there is no reason for trans people to even exist within the logic of it's own setting.
All 4E "deserves" is a nuclear holocaust.
have a pity (You) on me
Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. Page 172: Chapter 9.
There is also a tranny elf with preferred pronouns "they/them" that throws a tantrum when "misgendered". And a male-to-female drow that runs away from evil transphobic drow kin.
And don't get me started on the new "politically correct" Elven origin story in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes.
First of all, the only thing 4E "deserves" is a nuclear holocaust, second of all, I hope they keep the spirit of 5E but change the underlying system to be more fun
Ed Greenwood has Andel Adrian, Horizon's Ward, rejecting his father's divine essence. He then returns to Baldur's Gate and becomes the most powerful Duke in the city.
Years later the teleporting Bhaalspawn shows up to kill him in a module. Whether he succeeds or not, the last surviving Bhaalspawn turns into the Ravager. When the Ravager dies Bhaal is reborn. There's no way this is the Bhaalspawn's story.
But how else would they virtue signal to the rainbow squad?
wake up, sheeple, western gaming is dead. All the glossy trends have tired themselves out. Now is the hour of the grognard.
Beamdog added a ton of shit that absolutely no one asked for and managed to launch the remaster with a ton of bugs. They pulled the originals from retail when they realised people were buying them instead of their expensive rehash of an ancient game. If you can download the originals from somewhere else then I'd say go for that, or just play another CRPG instead. I bought the Enhanced Edition off of Steam a few years ago, and I regret spending money on it.
Use Roll20, dumbass
That's Abdel, not Andel.
lol iq morcels actually believe this insane story about bg3 that op and his band of swindlemen keep repeating in order to bump this thread
As opposed to...
EEs have some advantages. In one of the recent versions, they made multiclass kits possible for example. So if you use mods for classes and stuff, there are some pretty good mods for it
Cool double post. Either way, the problems with 4E are all linked to the fact that it was basically designed like a video game, with way the fuck too many status effects and available skills for people to keep track of while still keeping the game going at a reasonable pace, and not having a whole lot of "utility" options for roleplay that couldn't be strictly systematized. None of 4E's weaknesses would be present in a video game, while all of it's strengths could be allowed to really shine.
>managed to launch the remaster with a ton of bugs
Irrelevant.
Thoughts?
I didn't post both of those but I think it's hilarious he thought the exact same thing
How the fuck is it irrelevant that a developer fucks up their product when they can't take fixes from mods and have to do their own work?
It's not a double post tho
Hope it is turn based.
What's the source material for level 30+ rules?
>Charisma 8
yikes
The originals were fucking loaded with bugs that were only fixed by mods.
unironically blessed
>3Eabooo
you got your wish already, and 5E is blatantly unfun.
But you now what? When you ask anyone what their favorite martial class in 5E is, they are going to say Battlemaster Fighter.
And lets face it, you have to change 5E to be fun as a videogame. Half of the wizard stuff doesnt realy work without a DM because its situational, and Martials probably dont work in a RTWP system.
Unless you want every single character to be a polearm tunnelfighter because thats the only way a melee character is actually stop an enemy from doing crap.
That of course is if it is RTWP, i dont think a single game has solved the RTWP issue where attacks are turn based while spells and movement is real time, making locking down enemies basically impossible.
Is that character basically immortal?
As long as they're not writing it
BG2 is my favorite game of all time, but I don't want a sequel. The game ended perfectly, and Siege of Dragonspear was complete garbage anyway.
Yes, they were. But Beamdog advertised with 600+ bugs fixed and charged twice the amount for each game than the original. But for every bug Beamdog 'fixed' a new bug was found.
No. Jon Bitch has no friends, he died once irl and a second time in hell.
Yes I tanked Ascension Insane Tactics Melissan outregening her DPS until rest of my party deposited of the five. Dwarven defender is an insanely fun class to play, he shorty saving throws on top of your natural stats and defensive stance make you an immovable rock.
>making locking down enemies basically impossible
wait, so you actually explored dungeons without the two polar bears and the fire elemental that were all 8-hour duration spells? Maybe I should give it a try myself.
people didnt like 4E because of the layout and because they couldnt convert characters from previous editions (all other editions were, mostly, compatiable)
Its not like 3.X doesnt have a lot to keep track of.
But yes, most of 4Es problems (the lenghty ass combat) are basically solved by it beeing a video game.
While most of its problems (very little support for simulationism) are irrelevant when you dont even have a DM.
The ending is like ME3 except two options instead of three.
So what’s with Baldurs gate and why people like it so much?
There aren't any bugs now you dipshit. Get Bioware's cock out of your mouth.
i too exclusiveley focus on summoning as many rabid dire ferrets as humanly possible.
its the greatest cRPG ever made and the best sequel of all time.
btw, you mirin?
What does bioware has to do with beamdog being shit?
Its an RPG for Boomers based on DnD back when DnD wasnt cool yet.
Also it had romances and shit.
wow, hopefully every ending is equally shit this time too.
Not really. There are 3 options. Good, bad and "fuck you guys, I'm going home". It depends on the choices you've made in the game. The endings for companions also change depending on your choices. Like Sarevok and Viconia becoming good guys.
post it
To this day I do not get the fascination with this studio. DOS 2 was gutter trash.
>playing a shortstack
yikes
>it's great
Never heard why exactly it's great, though.
Didn't Beamdog get Gaider to work on a new BG game?
>original games are full of game breaking bugs that never get fixed by the devs
>"oh it's fine originals are a classic they great"
>new releases are initially full of bugs that are initially patched out
>"YOU SHOULD NEVER PLAY THE EE'S THEY'RE BUGGY AS SHIT"
Pretty fucking dumb.
Yeah. He got cucked by one Amber "everything I write is political" Scott of Paizo fame in the role of lead writer. So, he got hired by Beamdog, did fuck all, wrota a few tweets and was fired. That was Gaider's contribution to Beamdog.
But what if it's Divinity 3 (not original sin)
He's a fag anyway so they were better off without him.
the entire saga is the very epitome of a great adventure, an incredibly competent dnd campaing of a from rags to riches story with memorable characters, locations, items, companions, enemies, bosess...its simple, stright forward, it doesnt try to be more than it is and succeeds at what it sets out to be, a game capable of creating a feeling of a grand adventure with focus on exploration, deeply tactical combat, party interactions, and trasure hunting. its an unmatched timeless classic with irreplicable athmosphere. ive replayed it probably a hundred times and will continue to do so until something better comes along.
so far it hasnt.
A lot of it is nostalgia. BG2 is highly regarded, but it's arguably the weakest part story-wise, while being horribly broken gameplay wise.
It's a classic Bioware trilogy: First game sets up the story, second game has nothing to do with the story, third game (BG2's expansion) is a sequel to the first game.
It was released at a perfect point in time for computer rpgs, a time where pc gaming was taken seriously both by developers and pc gamers themselves.
good combat , best loots in any game I have played , good story/voice acting , lots of content
What you just said is so stupid I feel genuinely embarrassed for you.
Fighter/Cleric or Paladin?
Just because BG2's story doesn't really progress the bhaalspawn theme doesnt mean it's the weakest part story-wise. I'd say its the opposite. Throne of Bhaal was obviosuly rushed; BG2 is has a very compelling story with a strong, imposing villain far more notorius than Sarevok or Melly, and far more memorable plotline.
It has nothing to do with nostalgia, BG2 is every bit as good as it was back then, it's an exemplary sequel that improves on every shortcoming fo the prdecessor and goes even further. It's very close to perfection it that regard at least.
F/C multiclass. Paladins are shit outside of Inquisitors and the game already has Keldorn and he has an awesome armor only he can use.
Maybe, but who would want to play a follow up to one of the many eurojank 3D RPGs that all got murdered in the wake of Morrowind and Oblivion?
CRPG from the era where DnD inspired games were hot shit.
Since it's an almost twenty year old game a lot of people have fond memories of it and its usage as a reference point after the somewhat recent resurgence of the genre has probably helped solidify it as THE crpg
In truth it's dated as shit. Many of the new crpgs released in the last five years have had mediocre sales/success because they attempted to be as close to the original game(s) and often neglected two decades worth of quality of life, interface improvements and general design decisions for the sake of attempting to preserve the same feel. Original sin 2 (and to an extent Original Sin 1) were successful because Larian at least attempted to make a year 2010 game instead of a year 2000 game which meant implementing voice acting, removal of vancian casting, optional multiplayer/coop and other things the current generation of players might be interested in

BG2's weak point narratively speaking is that Imoen gets abducted right off the bat and instead of the story rushing to rescue her, you get to explore Amn, grind XP and do a billion side quests completely ignoring the fate of your sister and dearest childhood friend. There doesn't seem to be a sense of urgency and if it weren't for Irenicus and Imoen appearing in your dreams you'd probably forget about their plotline too
>including literal broken shit
Bad move friend.
what if its a prequel featuring Viconia whoring herself through Amn?
It makes perfect sense within the context of the game. You really should try playing it.
>Faggot gate 3 instead of glorious DOS3
God fucking dammit.
You think we'll get romances this time around?
If so, calling dibs on potential drow waifu. If possible of Eilistraee-following variety.
Irenicus was a shit villain that only worked because everyone around him was retarded. His saving grace is good voice acting and good line delivery. The amount of actual connection and development between the villain and the hero is so loose and so little, it feels like you are following Irenicus because the game tells you so, never because your character would have any incentive to do it.
The number of scenes where the player character actually learns anything about or interacts with Irenicus can be counted on one hand. The player gets to know him a little better through cutscenes, but never the player character.
youre well within your right not to give a shit about imoen, she's not even your real sister. you dont even know you're related in any way whatsoever until you meet again at the asylum
Viconia is not a whore. She's pure and sweet. She just has trouble showcasing that part of her.
No, it doesn't. You really should try playing it.
Man i tried OS1 and hated it. Combat was a slog and the game was filled with too many "gotchas" for my liking. Seemed like the entire game was based around you quicksaving all the time. Is the second one really that much better?
You can't go rescuing her on your own, you need allies.
To get those allies, you need a lot of capital.
To get that money, you have to go adventuring.
If you weren't retarded this would be obvious.
>Is the second one really that much better?
No. OS1 is unironically a better game than OS2. Storyfags will try to convince you otherwise but the gameplay itself is the same as the first game except it's dumbed down.
To me it's a good game, with a scope that's impressive enough to force its way into being great. Adapting a D&D campaign to a video game with triple-A production quality is so impressive, that nobody came close to recreating the feat until Owlcat Games just recently.
This.
Remember that Larian thinks pic related is funny.
I am excited but not so much for the months on end of Kiddinity poster complaining about shit.
Yes. I disliked OS1. The tone and story was all over the place, quests were obtuse as fuck, puzzles were bullshit, combat was sometimes off the wall.
DO:S 2 fixes most of it. It actually tells a coherent story with some likeable companions, puzzles and quests make more sense and combat is a bit more balanced. This bizarre armor system kinda detracts from combat o higher difficulties, but nothing's perfect.
but thats wrong. that's the entire beauty of this dynamic. when you start off, you're nothing to ireniucs. you're a lvl 7 insect that only serves his singular purpose. he pays you no mind until you start pestering him further and further as you become stronger and more capable. you develop your strength with your many adventures and quests throuhout amn and you eventually become an even match to what is essentially one of the strongest spellcasters in faerun. this is the essence of the story and its realized beautifully. you're not meant to be rivals on equal ground. he's a demigod who could desintegrate you on his whim at the very beginning, only to find you capable of defeating him at the end. i absolutely adored this trope
I'd love to see Outer Worlds release in a similar time-frame to see him go into overdrive
>not Divinity 3
Well fuck.
Redpill me on BG then.
I sure as hell don't want to be seduced by anything with an orc cock
>This bizarre armor system kinda detracts from combat o higher difficulties
Here we see a brainlet in his natural habitat
how can one man even be this based?
>Being hyped about anything Baldur's Gate related after the fucking Enhanced Edition
Unironically kys.
DnD CRPG worhsipped by nostalgia fags.
its gonna be a 5E ruleset, knowing larian theres a chance it wont be RTWP so maybe decent.
as for Divinity, theres a spinoff of OS2 coming which is basically OS2: Xcom.
And Larian significantly expanded its studio and are probably working on several products at the same time.
In fact, larian has spoken about obtaining the liscence to a game a while ago. Im pretty sure this game was developed at the same time as OS2:DE
However, instead of actually developing a story, a plot, adding depth to Irenicus, the Cowled Wizards and the general mistrust in magic, the game tells us to go grind.
>There's nothing to learn, now get me gold
That is basically what we learn in the entire second chapter. The rest of the game is so much more plot-driven compared to the beginning that it feels like Bioware 'forgot' to give time to the sidequests.
One good game in a series propped up by narrative because it had shitty combat all along
what do Beamdog's EEs have to do with Larian's BGIII and why are you trying to fit in so hard on an anonymous board?
>One decent game in a series propped up by narrative because it had shitty combat all along
Fixed that for you.
Larian is singlehandedly saving the story-focused isometric rpgs
Threadly reminder that Siege of Dragonspear is canon in the series now.
Decent is literally a synonym for good
what are you even rambling about? that's exactly what he said. from story's point of view, you need to accumulate capital to hire allies to help you in your ultimate quest. from gameplay's standpoint, the necessity to gather gold provides you with an incentive to take sidequests and go exploring. it's the best of both worlds.
*Ahem*
FUCK AMELYSSAN
>ee
Get out beamdog shill
Aside from political correctness potentially getting smeared everywhere,
just HOW do you make anything continuing a series where you ended up as the epic level new god of murder?
Also
>fifth edition
Moving goal posts that far is the same as admitting you were wrong.
You have no idea was types of bullshit are now canon in 5e lore.
People are still mocking the blessed sexfluid elves.
Cleric/thief is actually really based as well.
nah
It's probably not a sequel, just a game that takes place in the same universe
>Attacks per round 9
God I love ToB
I don't see anything wrong with that. It's treated as something exotic and not normal, as it should be in such setting.
oh god no
i just want Divine Divinity 2
no, that mediocre third person RPG doesn't count
I find this very weird both gameplay and rpwise. How is it superior to thief/mage? DUHM and other damage increasing spells for high backstab? Roleplaywise I don't see how it makes any sense, except for thief/cleric dual maybe. It's the only class I never played I think
>2003
"Man I hope Bioware makes BG3 someday"
>2019
"Man I'm glad Bioware isn't making BG3"
Bhaal as a newly reborn god suckers some random unlucky dude to become his new champion(the PC) and serve as his personal murderhobo and a proof of his return. PC tries to wiggle himself out of this deal. That's the most basic idea.
They could exist as shitty peasants who don't have pet wizards or thousands of gold to blow but that would require talking about class disparity which is a subject a bunch of trust fund shitlib coastal manchildren would never broach
Almost every multi/dual class is great, it's borderline stupid just how much you can abuse the system.
>He doesn't have a soft spot for soulful eurojank
Why do you even exist
What's the point of naming it Baldur's gate 3? It would make a lot more sense if it was OS3.
The story of the Baldur's gate games is absolutely over. Nothing left to tell, all ended on a perfect note. Why bring it back now, if not for nostalgia for its name?
Nothing against larian, but this just seems like a shitty move
>roleplaywise
If you are roleplaying, there are better options than BG2.
not that user but im willing to wager he's talking about rightheous magic synery. RM provides you with maximum damage on every hit the same way kensai's kai does, so theoretically c/t has the highest bacstab damaage potential in the game, aside from assassin
Roll20 is full of insufferable faggots
I don't live in a sharia-run state.
Agree. OS1 had that ridiculous boss that literally requires cheesing to beat, and at the end of OS2 I let out a big “mmmmmeh.” I might be the only person that feels like POE2 > OS2, but dammit fuck Larian and their forced humor.
>wiggling out of divine ordained murder, rape and mayhem
Tsk, that is how nu-gamers would play
Which is to your credit, but doesn't answer my question
What's fucking next, a low budget netflix serie?
Fucking hell...
Gnome and half orc get it as a multi class choice. Tiax is one so there's one roleplay example. It can a lot of backstabbing with buffs up but I find that fun, especially when you get silly cleric weapons like the Crom Faeyr.
Its probably focused on baldurs gate, as in the place, and featuring several characters from the series.
If i had to take a wild guess: its a paralell story, seperate but with some of the same characters.
Simmilar how the new DnD book that came out is set in baldurs gate or how the Neverwinter MMO featured several BG characters in it.
>duration: 10 min/level
That's 5 hours at most for a level 30 wizard. Considering the vast majority of npcs are not even level 1 classes, I don't see how they have access to spells like that or the money to have a high-level mage casting those 3-4 times a day at least.
>those who transcend gender as the gods do
Little much isn't it?
There is a belt in the game that puts that effect on you as long as you have it equipped
Magic items can do it permanently too, but aside from that there's certainly no medical methods so either you've got wizardry or its off the table.
Some degenerate elves, gnomes, or both probably make potions that can do it.
I am fucking pissed
I don't know, dude. I hold BG in such a high regard, and i don't see the point of this.
Larian just doesn't seem like the right studio for it. They made good crpgs, but bg is so much more different than OS. And i don't want modern crpg fans infesting the older games discussions with how outdated/noncombat focused some things are.
>And i don't want modern crpg fans infesting the older games discussions with how outdated/noncombat focused some things are.
Do you understand how dumb this thought is?
Not fair, beambros... not fair. We pretend to work so hard to bring Baldur's Gate to modern audience and consoles. We even spit on the old fans to make space for new ones... and this is how WotC pay us?

yawn. call me when it's not a "nostalgiafags overrated their childhood game" sequel
mate, you better point out HOW it's bad, or just refrain from commenting at all. Just makes you look like a twat who thinks he knows something when he doesn't.
honestly its for the better. Who else do you want to make it? Beamdog? Obsidian? they only produce crap.
Larian is actually making good games. and compared to all the other developers, theyve actually shown to be willing to support the kind of stuff you can do in DnD and not neccesarily in most video games.
Of course larian also has its own style, but i dont think this will feel much like a usual larian game.
For what its worth, id like a DnD game with non RTWP combat and maybe some of the more simulationist world interactions that Larian games sometimes have.
I guess im also hoping for less WORDS WORDS WORDS which is what the other recent CRPGs have been.
Beeing about story is one thing, beeing overly verbous is another.
>modern CRPG fans
are mostly nostalgia goggled old CRPG fans. Who do you think this is beeing marketed to.
Why do you think they are even making a BG3, the target audience is people that enjoyed Baldurs gate, icewind dale and Neveriwnter nights and now are adults with money to spare.
Even if it exised in BG those saving throws would've rendered it useless.

>i-i-it's in the handbook...
>but i'm not going to name the spell, page number, or post a screenshot
whatever you say lying pussy.
Goddamit. I actually wanted another Divinity. Baldur's gate is such a far out dream that i cant see it be successful. People will hate it just because it would be modern and that would hurt Larian as a company. Imagine actually hating on the guys that made a game in 4 different genres in the past 5 years with moderate to great success. I just really like the studio and this game would just bring a notoriety that they dont need
So will they stick to AD&D or move over to 5e for this game?
Yeah. There is no way anything but 5e is being used.
Yes. I'm sure bg/crpg threads will improve with new players and console players.
Beamdog don't even make anything of their own, they can't even be a contender. Obsidian only produce crap? Are you out of your mind?
But you're kidding yourself or you're one of the people fanning the "conflict" between larian and obsidian fans. Both studios make good games, just that obsidian actually makes an effort to write a good story in the package. Words don't make a game bad. You signed up for it when you tried a fuckin old school crpg game.
gets both druidic and cleric spells
there has to be at least 70 braindead niggers that think its bg3 among these larian shills bumping the thread
kinda funny
probably 5e
i cant imagine wizards signing on to make an AD&D videogame these days when they can help shill 5e
They are bugged. Rangers have access to first 3 level druid spells normally,but in that multi they have access to all of them so you get all druid and cleric spells in a class, with ranger's fighting stats
This was fixed in EEs if you're playing them. With an ini edit you can bring it back though
>i can't look up the alteration/transmutation spell list by myself
Yes, for new players and console players. Those threads are not for only you, they are for the people.
A bug that grants you access to all druid and cleric spells by virtue of ranger getting access to up to 4th level druid spells normally. Most notably you get iron skins and have the same THAC0 as a fighter/cleric.
Does it come with a time machine so you can go to a time when anyone gave a fuck?
Divinity XCOM soon, and larian is working on several projects at the same time.
hey
Not in the EE version. Rangers have a separate spell table from Druids in EE whereas in the originals, Rangers used Druids' tables. Hence why Cleric/Rangers got druid spells once they have the spell slots for higher level spells than Rangers usually get.
>i'm not going to provide a source because i'm a lying pussy bitch
yep that's you
larian can absolutely not do baldurs gate justice
they're going to turn it into a turn based 4 person party garbage with "jokes" everywhere
that is EE my man. i might have edited a file or two for consistency's sake though..
but larianiggers HATE rtwp
Just as those players can whine and call for casualization, i can push for the old fashion. You can go fuck yourself, i will die on this old hill with my beliefs.
Protip: Alter self
What good game have Obsidian actually made in recent history?
From what i understand, they pretty much switched the entire actual team.
>PoE
i know a lot of people here like it, but from what i see, its got a terrible setting, it is overly verbous, it includes too many real life references and its RTWP. I dont like RTWP games.
Thats why ToEE is my favorite old DnD game, even tho the fucking thing refuses to run half the time and is generally a broken mess.
I admit that they implemented turn based mode for PoE 2.
If i wanted to play a RTWP "member icewind dael" kind of game, id play Pathfidner Kingmaker since that actually seems to have some novel ideas in it.
>WORDS WORDS WORDS
i dont think i did. Again, beeing about story is one thing, beeing overly verbous is another.
OS2 occasioanlly also suffers from this nu-writer problem where they think everyone loved Planescape Torment because of the purple prose.
I thought that's an obscured Quake III logo.
In Icewind Dale Rangers and Paladins get higher level spell slots, don't they? Do they get access to more druid spells there?
oh great another classic game remade to fit the degenerate sjw paradigm
cant wait to play a demiqueer panbinary orcgnome neowizard
No one can bottle lightning but Larian make the best games nowadays so they are the correct choice.
Stay the same then. Never improve.
lying bitch confirmed
so it boils down to you not liking rtwp games. And it doesn't seem like you actually even played the god damn games.
Either play them and see what the fuck they're about, or contain yourself in OS threads forever
> wanted to go back to the Realms for years but know it will be full of current year leftist bullshit like the tabletop is today
Same. Time to invest in some salt companies.
except the bg series already has its gameplay set up
its a 6 man party and you can say what you want about rtwp but the bg series IS a rtwp series you cannot remove that without fundamentally changing the series.
i see where you're coming from, but the crowd that larian's bringing isn't exactly compatible with the old formulas.
plus, the old games don't need the improvement. They're not considered one of the best, if not the best, for no reason.
Play IWD2 HoF mode.
Share some examples or fuck off.
christ now i'm hoping it's like that just to piss on your cornflakes, please have sex
Check the last thread you dilating rat
Make me, ive dealt with RTWP in Icewind dale, and NWN.
But those were games of its time and im not gonna shit out nostalgia bucks for a couple of half baked "member prerendered backgrounds" games.
Its not like i didnt consider buying PoE but i looked into it and it didnt look like my cup of tea.
but be my guest, only shit on this after youve completed it on the inevitable hard mode.
I for one am gonna judge it for what i see of it. And if its another 5E snoozefest like that Swordcoast legends game then im not gonna give it any of my money.
>no mention of a module or book where that shit's from
Yeah I totally 100% believe it.
Its larian tho, they are too busy autistically crafting 8 different ways to solve some farmers dung problems than caring about CURRENT YEAR politics
traps
I have no idea.
Maximum duration is 12+60 rounds equals a maximum duration of 72 rounds or roughly 72 minutes for a level 30 wizard, the level limit for non-deities. So I vastly overestimated the duration to begin with. Still not a spell everyone is able to have cast on themselves at all times.
what about Dark Alliance?
Thats a literal Diablo Clone in the series, and a damn good one at that
>muh spinoff
maybe. But at the end of the day, its gonna be a departure anyway because
>5E
no way WOTC wont force em to do it in 5E
>New story
because how would you even continue the old one, how would you turn that into a new game
Traps are legit most powerful weapons in the game, one of the main reason I always have Haer'dalis with me.
I don't think I killed Demogorgon once without using spike traps
You understand bro. Fallout has tedious combat because of the slow ass 1 player control, it's like playing DnD if all your fellow PC's were noncontributing retards..
Polymorph after reducing spell resistance several casts.
Turns them into a squirl with 5 hit points.
I feel a little dirty doing it.
Why does it look like the Diablo 3 logo?
When does the first game get good? So far it's been asinine fetch quests, shit dialogue and very bad looking environments/backgrounds (in comparison to other CRPG-s of the time like Icewind dale and Planescape Torment).
What does that even mean? The players that larian brings?
You mean players that arent oldschool CRPG fans? For one thing, the people actually buying the Larian games appear to be just that, oldschool CRPG fans, on the other hand, why not?
Because it isnt RTWP? Because the Larian games arent based on a dnd ruleset? well this one is going to be for one thing, and secondly its not like BG is in any way particulary complex besides the optimization of it.
its dialogue and combat, not exactly rocket science here.
Also why do you care about OTHER PEOPLE playing a single player game?
surprise, the roman numeral for 3 looks like three vertical lines
except i consider those 2 things to be the foundation of the series if they remove them to me it would be like turning bg3 into an fps
never played dark alliance because that wasnt bg to me.
No way in hell WOTC is going to let a game go that isn't 5e.
>Larian writing
hopefully not
For the same reason it looks like the Spellforce 3 logo.
because thats what the roman letter 3 looks like, you stupid idiot.
BG1 is a perfect lowlevel party adventure. A one of a kind. If you don't like the pacing it's ok to skip it, games should be fun
no you got caught lying like a pussy bitch and are trying to backpedal.
meanwhile polymorph other is cheap as shit and completely destroys your retarded argument, fag
I'll play this, whatever the fuck it ends up being. I enjoyed both PoE and OS. They are both good. My issue was with you being one of the hundred shitposters spreading bullshit about obisidan when you're not the familiar with their work.
Too many people spreading opinions about shit they don't know anything about, or however the fuck the quote goes
Underrated.

No thanks Larian
Larian isn't much better sadly.
well one of them is going to be removed anyway and thats because of WOTC autism, no matter who develops it, its gonna end up beeing 5E.
Also, realy? RTWP is the foundation? not the party based gameplay?
For what its worth, play Dark Alliance its a fucking great game, and the other games by that developer aswell since they are all realy fucking good and i wish all the ARPG games these days would be clones of that and not of Diablo 2
Can’t wait to be massively gimped unless I play as their special OC characters and have to re load 59 times because of instant death traps! Based larian!
People who post shit like this make it pretty obvious you never have been nor will ever be laid. Very ironic desu.
>tfw it wont be my dream game of a prequel with a PC harper galavanting from Waterdeep to Athkatla and Gorion as a companion with the raid on the cult of Bhaal as his companion quest.

shit taste confirmed
i know enaugh to know im not gonna enjoy it. Looked at enaugh gameplay.
And i definitly know enaugh to be glad that Obsidian arent the ones making this. You played these games, prove me wrong on this:
Obsidian doesnt innovate in any way. They chase the nostalgia bucks.
Now imagine giving them Baldurs Gate, the quintessential RPG nostalgiabucks franchise.
Might aswell give em Morrowind at that point.
The BG story is over. It doesn't need a third game. Fucking hell.
Larian makes good games and I enjoyed the original Divinty 2: Ego Draconis as well as OS 1 and 2 but their games have a serious problem with the writing (which is shit). Unironically Ego Draconis had the best writing out of those three.
i consider rtwp and 6 man party to be the foundation of the series, rtwp because thats the way the actual gameplay functions similar to how turn based is the foundation of the original sin games.
>NO! This tavern music is TOO JOVIAL!

Yes finally someone smart! I'm worried about Larian doing BG 3 because they completely suck at writing dialogues and stories except for Dragon Knight Saga. I hope they hire Chris Avellone.
This looks like it was drawn by the Dungeon Meshi artist. Am I right?
They changed it.
>I hope they hire Chris Avellone.
they hired avellone for os2 and that didn't work
I am surprised so many old timers know how to use the internet.
Good for you gramps.
So what else do we know? Is this it? Was there an announcement of ANYTHING? Should the site even be up yet?
can't be any good, they were too retarded to make their game work on laptops
I'm surprised you know how to walk outside of the house without you face glued to a smart phone screen. E celeb gossip being good for you lately?
Damn, don't get too excited old man, don't wanna flare anything up
Official press statement
“Hey! It turns out some online sleuths have discovered our latest project, so this post will act as an official announcement! The baldurs gate franchise is a beloved series, and we at larian are excited to do it justice. Of course, some elements of the game will be updated to reflect the modern world. Rooted in table top gaming, especially “dungeons and dragons”, we found that the previous baldurs gate instalments focused too heavily on player choice. To bring the series up to snuff with modern, cinematic gaming, we have introduced a cast of original larian characters that will be interwoven into the story. These characters will have powerful abilities, and with modern gaming technology, far surpass anything a player would have been able to do in the original games. For hardcore old school fans, the choice to create a character is still there, but this wasn’t really a focus for us. We have also upped the immersive challenge the game provides, so instead of old fashioned dungeon crawling, expect environmental puzzles that all involve instant death! We are very excited to reveal more details at E3 this year.”
You'd know all about flare ups after your recent dialysis, so I can just turn to you for pointers if I do.
half assed bait sonic
Am I going to have to dress up in BDSM gear if I roll elf this time?
To keep it simple, i don't like the writing and the stories of larian's studio. Avellone helped out on OS2, and even that suffered from the same symptoms. The BG games, while not being some literary masterpiece, still had great stories and some examples of the best writing in the genre. That is one thing that i am afraid of if larian picks up this. The other, is the fanbase. The flippant attitude of the shitposters that cling to OS games have infested every other CRPG thread on this board, and it could only get worse with this, with yet more pointless non stop bitching. That second point is arbitrary, true. But i would still like it if i could have a decent discussion after the game releases.
And it does not need to be a numbered sequel. The story is done, there is nothing left to tell. Zilch, nada. Bringing the name back in this manner just seems like banking on the old success.
lmao

Thank God this shit is over. Did WoTC realized they are shit or what?
Well that's how real women act although Jaheira is an elf right?
Silver sword and just keep trying until I get that lucky vorpal roll and kill it instantly.
Maximum cheese.
Not sure I'm interested if its a real-time clusterfuck and not turn based.
Jaheira is my waifu!
They chased notalgia bucks, and they made good games.
And to an old dog like me, that second point is not a detriment. I like both, but i would rather have obisidian on this. Even if obsidian of now is not the A team that once was. It still carries some spirit, so to speak.
We'll just have to play and see, right?

Which of these should I be able to finish before the Pathfinder EE changes drop?
Hey, Arcanum had it as an option and it was great.
I don't either specially when there's always an option to have both.
Making a D&D game RTwP in the first place was a huge mistake.
Baldur's Gate wasn't some literary masterpiece but 30 year old boomers have rose-tinted glasses. The most memorable writing in Baldur's Gate centered around characters like Edwin, Minsc, Tiax, etc. Larian is the only studio that I trust at this point to continue the series without gaying it up with SJW shit.
Planescape Torment. Icewind Dale fucking sucks.
I didn't realize that I did until it was announced. Now I'm hyped.
>announced
>t.beamdog employee
>reddit: the studio
No thanks.
Come on, man. They made this too obvious. It's confirmed at this point.
Because it doesn't jive well with systems where characters progressively gain more attacks, have vastly different attributes, and spells that take time to cast.
That's Obsidian.
I'm looking for recommendations on games like Divine Divinity/Beyond Divinity. Hack and slash with more than just hacking and slashing. Replayed Dungeon Siege 2 but had to drop it halfway since FPS dropped from 20-30 to 7.

Infinity Engine combat is the worst combat system I've ever seen in an RPG. Planescape Torment is the best of the bunch partially because it had the least combat.
Tried a few but I'm getting tired of the randomized stuff that looks like crap.
Writing is great in both Div OS games, especially in Div Os 2. KYSRN.
>Divine Divinity
That game is like Baldur's Gate and Diablo 1 had a love child. I've never found any other game quite like it. Good luck with your search, user.

Retard
Larian gets hated on because of their humor but retards ITT complaining about their "bad writing" not being up to BG standards seem to forget that characters like Edwin, Tiax, Minsc, Jan, Xzar, etc ever existed. And those guys were the most memorable characters from BG along with Irenicus and Sarevok .
So you would just play as another Bhaalspawn? since Gorion's ward is pretty much a god.
>Constant awful "humor" in the writing that only low IQ individuals find funny.
Baldur's Gate was filled with "awful humor," retard. Except it wasn't actually awful. You're just an old, bitter faggot.

idk, i dont see any larian fans ederposting anywhere else, its a Yea Forums thing.
Im not gonna lie, bringing the name back is basically irrelevant.
my guess its that its gonna be a seperate story but featuring some of the same characters.
It's a compromise between full action and turn-based that inevitably retains only the worst aspects of both. It can't touch TB's precise control or RT's fluidity, instead sitting at an unhappy medium between them, leaning to either side depending on your use of pause.
yep.
Icewind dale is good, Planescape torment is a fucking book.
Planescape and Icewind dale represent the opposit extremes of what the DnD games of that time were.
Planescape is a literal book, Icewind dale is a storyless dungeon romp. I personally enjoyed icewind dale a lot because its one of the few games outside of ToEE that lets you customize the entire party

make it fucking so.
still mad OS2 didnt have those, or any other game since NWN2 for that matter.
Probably aligns with the upcoming d&d module that takes place in BG/hell and references 1/2
no there is more
In Icewind dale it was kind of the point and i didnt feel like it detracted from the expirience, its hard to explain.
For what its worth, BG is the middle of the road between planescape and Icewind dale, which is probably why its still well remembered while Planescape is mostly held up as a standard of "Muh big brain writing" and Icewind dale is largley forgotten about, same as pool of radience.
is that from old books or new books?
you know, at this point, why not, they already made dragons-with-jetpacks games, might aswell make Demon-Tank-driving games.

You'll get along wonderfully then
I tried playing Baldur's Gate recently (with recommended mods) and I didn't really see the appeal. Combat comes down to spamming AoE webs and shit on the ground and shooting the enemies to death because characters using Melee without amazing strength and armor class will get torn apart quickly. The DnD rules juxtaposed with the random encounters makes managing your party incredibly tedious as you have a chokingly limited number of times you can cast. From what I played the story felt pretty standard what with you being the special boy entangled with some divine or demonic power.
Shockingly average for how hard the game gets its cock sucked by CRPG people. But with that in mind, I'm playing Original Sin 2 right now and feel like the game is good but with a lot of QoL issues, but people praise that game as Christ's second coming. So I guess the community's standards aren't so high.
one of the latest ones i think
is this a thing? putting your pronouns on your twitter profile? i havent touched twitter for years
If they improve on their modding tools and DM mode, plus adds dedicated server support then you will have a game that is a worthy successor to NWN as much as Baldur's Gate.
You can have that one for free, Sven!
>>they port over their DM tool and expand upon it to Neverwinter levels
Wizard won't allow that.
They don't wanna be shamed after what happened to Sword Coast Legends.
>Icewind dale is largley forgotten about
Good riddance.
yes
>Obsidian is Resetera: the studio
no, that's bioware
Holy shit, yes.
I'd prefer they'd just made a entire new D&D series set in Eberron/ Dark Sun/ Ravenloft/ Planescape instead of MORE FUCKING Forgotten, and probably The Sword Coast to add salt in the injury, but just knowing Beamdog won't do the game makes me a very happy person.
When I first played the game, I had no idea that she was even a character you could romance. I just found her annoying as fuck and basically told her to quit her bitching.
>trannys literally have a god complex
my first goal as Bhaalspawn would be to wipe these freaks out for hubris
Skyrim is the best RPG ever made. We get it.
>Who else do you want to make it?
Owlcat.
Kingmaker is the best BG2 like game since BG2
Can't reproduce these steps. Also no mention of anything BG related when doing a search.
Did they switch out the video?
Then you missed out on the best romance in the game m8
Also can't think of any studio more deserving for BG3, Original Sin 2 was dope
I would heartily agree with you, IF it weren't for that fucking kingdom management, and bullshit enemy armor class
That game was great until the final chapter which caused me to rage quit. Fuck Owlcat and their cock tease.
they hired new writers fom the u.s; check their twitters.
>tfw never played Baldurs gate 1 or 2.
I did play Neverwinter 1 and expacs, torment and arcanum though.
Why is Yea Forums so based?
Honestly, it's really nice considering how fucked they were a while back.
It's cool that they've gotten such a wide audience
Zoom zoom here, give me a quick rundown of this boomer game.
>I might be the only person that feels like POE2 > OS2
Probably because you're the only person that played OS2 by yourself.
Yikes. That's a painful read.
i can see that.
I guess i just like Larian more because i want to see what they turn it into.
Admittedly, im not a huge purist on this. If i were huge into the infinity engine, then maybe id prefer Owlcat aswell.
but as it stands, im just fucking curious how this will turn out.
>Then you missed out on the best romance in the game m8
I didn't, though. I probably beat that game at least 10+ times and ended up romancing her at some point. I was talking about my first playthrough when I was kid just trying to adventure without hearing some neurotic woman sperg every time I'd try to rest.
>this entire thread
Comfy cRpg discussion is forever gone, isn't

No. DivOS combat is great compared to BG because it actually has level design, and fully 3D, on top is some nice physics. BG suffers both from the terrible D&D rules, the fact it has to adapt them to real time, but more specially, from garbage levels (just plain and empty rooms), again like the tabletop game. Go play 7'62 High Calibre if you want something more similar to DivOS, although in a completelly different setting, of course.
Play pathfinder.
screenshaker crits were already in bg2...
I want the game to work, user
And I don't want even more romance faggotry
That one game that came out a little while ago or the tabletop version?
Play it for the story and characters and world not the mechanics
literally and unironically my progression
also my taste in class changed as well
>childhood: berserker
>adolescence: fighter/mage
>adulthood: sorcerer
The second version of the Imoen romance mod that added Aerie bisexual option was toned down
Small numbers are good. That's all you need to really know for THAC0/AC.
Everything else is pretty standard D&D. Just don't touch Dual Classing if you don't know what you're doing.
Tabletop. I don't know much about the game besides the fact that the progression was supposed to be hilariously broken on release.
Hopefully its turn based
Have they improved it? Pathfinder was horrendous dogshit when first released.
I hope Amber returns as the main writer!
Given its Larian I wonder if it'll be RTwP or Turn-Based.
The hell? No.
BG's story was always about becoming a god and you do that, or just say fuck that shit and continue being human.
ME was a typical epic space opera that ended in a a complete nonsentical way trying to be deep.
Hopefully turn based, like actual D&D
I unironically want NWN3
It IS improved! Enhanced Edition ON June 6th! Romance Valerie!
I would wait for the current beta for their "enhanced edition" to end. Which will also be the release of their final DLC.
So I would play it then.
Well yes. But I doubt it will be
Romancing people in games is for incel losers without romance in real life. Prove me wrong.
What!
What's the biggest differences between 2nd edition and whatever edition it is now, 5th? THAC0/AC is basically the same, except in a more direct way?
Larian's turn-based combat is cool, but the difficulty of the D:OS games is punishing to the point that I never got very far in them. I hope they tone it down a little. The Baldur's Gate series and even games like Gothic 1 and 2 paled in comparison from a difficulty standpoint. Maybe I'm just a pleb that cannot into D:OS combat.
Give me Viconia.
Give me Jaheira!
ACTIVISION HAS EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO D&D
retards
She gone buddy
>better writing
>the games actually don't shy away from being rpgs
>cringy self-inserty romances aren't the only way to learn about your party
>quality is consistent
Honestly Larian is in such a completely different league that Bioware should feel like committing sudoku.
Played Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 EE a few years back and thought it was a bit too slow for my pea-brain. Are there any similar games that I should try out instead?
Swen had a hard life. Now he's the king. Godspeed, Sawyer-Killer.
>Why is it that every writer for every video game company is infested with people like these today?
Well game companies pay shit for writers so most of the good ones try to get projects elsewhere.
Also writing for most people never pays the bills well so they're aren't many who are fanatically devoted enough to make it their career.
So you get the worst of both worlds.
modern dnd writers are shit.
Why wouldn't you just turn down the difficulty then?
Pirate non EE ones.
Because I hate acknowledging that I'm too pleb to handle "normal" difficulty. I rage-quit the first game at the Sparkmaster and I've only watched videos of D:OSII but it looks even more difficult.
God you're just reminding me how bad the EE characters are.
I mean this is a game with Minsc sprouting /gaming tier jokes and I still would sooner have him in the party than any of the newbies.
Hexxat also being a vampire was too new school for my tastes. Rationally there's no reason anyone with sense would bring a vampire into the party. Even a the rest of the evil party members are more reasonable to bring with you than a fucking vampire.
YIKES
>Sparkmaster
just turn him off user
There's literally a manual that tells you how to do it.
Either way, your loss m8. It's a shame you let your pride make you miss out on a fun game.
>Boomers & Dragons
Yikes
It'll be diversity termite trash like everything else.
I'm guessing maybe the games just aren't for me. Like I said, Dark Souls, Elex, Gothic series, etc are easy for me but I kept getting my ass handed to me in D:OS. Even when I'd win, every random battle felt like an absolute grind more akin to a strategy game than an RPG. I just wasn't having fun.
They replaced the video and scrubbed the metadata.
I never played 2nd edition itself, but BG uses a modified version of that, so it doesn't really matter.
Yes, proficiency bonus + stat bonus in 5e is more or less THAC0, just without the numbers getting smaller. Although you'll find your THAC0 goes up a lot quicker than your proficiency bonus does in 5e.
Biggest difference is probably with magic. There's no concentration or anything in Baldur's Gate, so there's no limit to the amount of bullshit you can throw out, which is why magic becomes absurd by endgame.
Also, with saving throws, the DC's set by the characters themselves, and not the spells/effects themselves (though they'll add modifiers to that). They want to roll above whatever their saving throw "stat" is, and your saving throws "increase" by having the numbers decrease, aka making it easier to pass. This sort of gets fucky where some things that modify your saving throws say you get stuff like a "+2 penalty" to saving throws, but then you get things that say it gives you a "-2 THAC0 penalty", since it's referring to the THAC0 bonus, not your THAC0 score.
Really, that's what throws people for a loop with BG, I feel. If you can past that stuff, and can get used to managing a whole party, the gameplay's pretty easy to get through. Just expect a lot of traps and some bullshit deaths in dungeons. Oldschool "hardcore" stuff.
I can see a lot of people being mad. Its either going to be too far from BG, taking a lot of elements of OS which made Larian super successful. Or its going to go too far towards BG and lose the audience Larian gained by having a huge co-op focus, 100% turn based combat and action points.
Wait, left and right are the same character? how does vampirism change your race?
