why?

spotted the switch owner

To stealth revive Spelljamer. It's a noble cause if I've ever seen one.

I am sceptical. I really like the stuff Larian is doing but story was never their strong suit. The trailer doesn't actually show anything that gets me hyped for the game, but I'm ready to be plesantly surprised.

its like shenmue 3 for a game series that isnt shit

I'm fucking hyped bros.

I'll take their combat system over RTwP every day.

>“Some of those [will],” Vincke said.

It's going to play real time with a pause button. Using DnD 5th edition rules.

Seriously, how? The trailer doesn't show anything despite an ugly animation and a mindflayer.

The man is back.

Because I can't wait to play a proper Forgotten Realms game. It has been awhile. Also, I loved the BG series back in day.

Calling it Baldur's Gate is really fucking tacky, and the whole "people don't like missing, so we got rid of attack rolls" shit makes me think this is going to be one of those "based on D&D" games that borrows random bits of terminology but is 90% its own system, because the suits have decided they know better.

Look, I like Larian, but their writing isn't Baldurs Gate material. Those are some big fucking footsteps to fill.

I'd rather they just do what they do best and make DOS3.

Since it's 5e I think it'd be cool if we got a couple new races instead of the same old ones from the first game. Maybe some goliaths or a dragonborne Or cute Kobolds and Drow

>the whole "people don't like missing, so we got rid of attack rolls" shit makes me think this is going to be one of those "based on D&D" games that borrows random bits of terminology but is 90% its own system, because the suits have decided they know better.
This is a good thing.

He meant to abbreviate Divinity: Original Sin but he's too young to know that DOS was a thing back then.

I think Baldur's Gate might force them to take their writing a bit more seriously, and they can do serious and grounded writing like in their much earlier games

Yes, because BG writing was very serious. Completely without oh-so-random humor.

Don't you already have a million other games that aren't D&D? Why do the D&D games also have to not be D&D?

That's retarded. Have a few fan favorites return, but at least 80% of potential party members should be new characters

Do you understand that's just as retarded as to say that Terry Gilliam couldn't write anything serious.

more than half of that list are dead in canon

>But Vincke and Mearls wouldn’t confirm if Minsc or any of these companions are in Baldur’s Gate III. And what about hamsters? “Ahh—can’t confirm hamsters,” Vincke said with a laugh.

Like they're going to leave him out.

Plus Minsc is recently a statue brought back to life. So he may or may not be acclimating well.

This is the least hyped I've been for a game announcement since the announcement that Megaman Legends 3 was canceled citing a "lack of interest" before Capcom released a demo. Fuck 5E and fuck how that piece of shit system is inevitably going to drag a good development team's game down to the gutter.

Will they bring him back, bros? I want him to call me a mush-brained simian again.

Minsc is "lol so randum xD" garbage.

""This is a chance to get people who maybe don't have an interest in tabletop roleplaying, who are looking for something that's more just pure story. They don't necessarily want to immerse themselves in the rules. They can have a great experience that's very authentically D&D in terms of the puzzle solving and the storytelling without necessarily having to make the commitment of playing a tabletop game."

Larian, of course, having a lot of expertise in this genre, what do you think that your studio's going to be able to add to what's already a dense franchise with a history to it?

SV: I think that our systems focus that we had in previous games we've made is going to add a lot. You're going to have a lot more agency available because of all the freedom we're going to offer you when you have overcome challenges. The effect of that is going to be a big thing.

We're also in 2019 now--so it's not going to necessarily launch this year--but in 2019, the world has moved on tremendously. With Divinity: Original Sin, we've demonstrated that we can make what people call classic RPG values, that we can make modern. You will see a modern version of Baldur's Gate, but it's going to be true to the core of Dungeons & Dragons more than anything. It's going to feature tough decisions, player agency, systems, strong narrative, companions, gather your party.

All those things will be present and you'll be able to play it in single player and in multiplayer, like the original ones, but then in our way and much more evolved than it was back then.

I hope they don't fuck it up. I kinda wish it was structured more like BG than D:OS but these big open regions seem to have worked well so far.

Don't worry, they're getting rid of dice rolls.

So they are fighting Cthulhu? I can get behind that. But is it pozzed?

Way too obvious of a bait

I can't believe Pathfinder Kingmaker flopped so hard Owlcats are never gonna make another game ever again.

No, I agree with the first sentiment. Leave the shit franchises to shit developers and let Larian do stuff they want without any oversight.

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition sale price?

>Moving the goalpost

Minsc was absolute reddit tier.

Korgan and Edwin bants is where it's at.

Agreed. YOU JUST KNOW BioWare/Obsidian/Beamdog are all seething at missing out on using this IP. Divinity isn’t my favorite cRPG but those guys are the only people who could possibly do this series justice in this day and age.
Their blatant ‘this isn’t coming to Epic Games Store’ is just the icing on the cake

>why
There hasn't been a proper D&D video game since NWN2 (though you can sort of count Pathfinder Kingmaker, but that's effectively a modded 3.5), and NWN2 was 13 years ago.

Baldur's Gate is a well known name as an RPG, even among those who might have no played it.

It advances WotC's IP which can be linked to other things they can make money on (they have an adventure module for 5e that is almost a sort of prequel to what Larian is supposedly doing in BG3), it leads more gamers into 5e D&D (them streaming with the Penny Arcade guys increased their playerbase, and then even more so after Critical Role)

All feeds into each other.

So, are the originals actually worth playing nowadays? I tried the first one a long time ago, but I couldn't stomach more than a few hours since I was cringing so hard.

Will there be a muslim transcuck?

Wait for BG3. It will be like Fallout 3 to the fallout franchise.

all of the original characters will become more diverse

Depends on how much say WotC has.

It reinvigorated the franchise and got us New Vegas.

Bioware's zoomer developers probably don't know what the fuck is Baldur's Gate.
Obsidian's creative talent is probably fired or on vacation, Feargus's wife and kids hardly concern themselves with making a product.
Out of these three Beamdog must've got the worst of it, not that they didn't have it coming. Owlcat tried to get the license, didn't get it, will probably be happy with completing Kingmaker and having a shot at another Pathfinder game. Out of all developers currently avaliable either Larian or Owlcat would probably be the best choice with Larian being a safer bet.

2 is a bit different beast, you might as well give it a shot. It's a bit more fleshed out and spicy (with party members' banters and interaction, among many things) compared to 1's extensive openness and relative emptiness.

If you play EE you don't need widescreen mod. Just play normally and if you find a character being insufferable (77% chance a beamdog character) just use it as canon fodder against ankhegs.

Did you yike it?

I just hope in BG3 we have as boss an evil pedophile transexual mage of Thay

It's funny how every time asks for must have mods they get a different answer. I'm not faulting you for helping him, but it seems the whole EE debacle has only left new players more confused as to the "proper" way to enjoy the originals.

>will look into these
Tutu is useless for EE. Don't bother. BG1npc project and UB can be good but I suggest skiping UB entirely if you never play the games.

>It's going to play real time with a pause button
Cautious, but at least would be content of all the entitled secondaries' butts being collectively broken.

I'm not sure the EE versions are compatible with mods though. They weren't when they were released.

>You honestly don't see the potential of immersion breaking of planeshifting alien ships?
Not really, no. And I don't see how planeshifting alien ships are more immersion breaking than a planeshifting Planar Sphere you can keep as your stronghold.

none of those companions are in the game, you should read the article more carefully

these are just the companions who could still be alive 100 years later, given they're moving away from the closed storyline of BG2 and ToB's ending, it makes no sense for any of them to return in any real capacity beyond a cameo if that.

Imagine being an elf, raised as an elf, trained as an elf magician and following the elf culture. Then they take out your race, your powers and your name.

It's like being born a jew but without the religion and money.

I'll skip on the EE and use the mods then

You're a fucking Bhaalspawn, of course it's viable

because D&D mechanics are impossible to bring to a pc game?

It's completely doable, it's just not that rewarding and it makes your entire quest a little too single minded ("ME WANT MY POWER BACK ME WANT BECOME GOD OF MURDER")
Some of the most powerful companions happen to be evil aligned, like Viconia, that evil dwarf whose name I can't remember, and Edwin.

You say that but It really isn’t. You consistently get shittier rewards and the game makes itself a pain in the ass to play if you’re evil enough

Can someone please post the link to that dungeon meshi portrait mod for the first games?

There's a lot of subjectivity to it honestly. I prefer the looser rules of 5e but I play with a group that is very open to allowing things to go against rules as written when it makes for interesting scenarios.

The larger breadth of rules and options in .5 is kind of a blessing and a curse I think. There's a lot there but I always found games getting mired in the minutia rather than being fun.

Comes with the source material, really.

Larianiggers are already shitting on BG2 for using RTWP and only play games with turn-based combat.

Beamdog did the EE and SoD for the express purpose of buttering up WotC to get the rights to make BG3.

He's alive in 5th edition if you kept up on the lore. His soul was put in a statue of him and it was made flesh.

Too late, he is already starring in an official 5E comic book. He is one of the only two BG characters who are absolutely, 100% confirmed to be alive 100 years later.

Since when was desecrating the world tree part of the elf culture?

But they have already done it in Neverwinter

Like Soulsfags, Larianiggers have an autistic obsession with homogenising an entire genre to suit their tastes.

Beamdog is guilty of a number of crimes...

It's 5th edition. It's more about what "cool" thing do you want to happen.

Lore is very loose now.

Baldur's Gate = Terry gilliam's Brazil, 12 monkeys, the Fisher king

Not unless you want to give Beamdog money. They pulled a cunt's trick and removed the originals from retail, so now if you want to play it you'll have to pay almost $20 for a game over two decades old

Is it really as bad as I hear it is?

they don't but they should

Because the entire genre for the last 20 years has just been trying and failing to be BG2

I really hope this turns out to be a red herring and illithids are not the actual main antagonists, simply because they're not that interesting at all. BG1+2's plots were carried by strong villains in Sarevok and Irenicus.

That was Beamdog and funnily enough nearly the entire crew and all the writers of Siege of Dragonspear were fired immediately afterwards.

the real question is would anyone really care?

I wonder if kotaku or another one of those site will make an special article about drizzt...

It really didn't fit at all. BG1 made sense. It was about a conspiracy inside Baldur's Gate. Continuing the story of the same characters doesn't alone justify the title. Just like you can't call every book featuring Drizzt Icewind Dale because it wouldn't fucking make sense.

He's the black dude with the two swords and gandalfs son.

It isn't subjective. I don't give a fuck how imaginative you think you are, you're not going to get a DM who allows you to charge an enemy, deal extra damage and stun them, and then have the rest of your party to charge the same enemy for free and gain larger bonuses to hit for each ally that charges and half your damage bonus. That's one maneuver in 3.5 and it didn't require a complex build with 20 carefully selected feats.

the fucking "spiritual succesor" strategy failed so now they were like fuck, just make baldur gate 3 directly

>not turn based
>not isometric
>not following 5e ruleset
>larian writing
literally who the fuck cares?

I doubt that. They were in the announcement trailer. It's very likely illithids will play a crucial role in the game.

what does good rpg combat look like

>50$
>EACH
Talk about greed man.

Apparently there's alot of background stuff with Illithids in 1 and 2, pulling the strings behind alot of stuff. Like the shapeshifters in 1 or the trolls in 2

>thinking the baldurs gate story had concluded

the storyline Larian are finishing in BG3 was hinted at in both BG1 and 2

Attached: chrome_2019-06-06_23-43-24.png (859x700, 1.4M)

it was about a conspiracy that evolved into the events that happened in the sequel. There were returning characters, but there was a ton of new ones, too. It would be downright silly to call it Dungeons & Dragons: Athkatla

You don't know the story, Bhaal could me the main villain at the end. He is currently alive in 5E

There is absolutely zero chance Minsc won't be in if they're bringing back anyone at all

>were fired immediately afterwards.
Oh yeah but remember that it was totally not related to SoD, no way. It was just a coincidence they were all fired and that any planned content for BG2EE except for shitty portraits dlcs were cancelled.

>not following 5e rule set
Thank god

On one hand, Larian could make a very solid BG game, gameplay-wise. On the other thand, Larian's writing is absolutely horrible and BG 2 was carried by its writing more than anything else.

Oh well, at least it isn't Beamdog.

We're all doomed....

Ctuhulus gate: call of Baldur

>It really didn't fit at all. BG1 made sense. It was about a conspiracy inside Baldur's Gate. Continuing the story of the same characters doesn't alone justify the title.

Different user, but that actually bothered me a bit when I was young. After beating the first game, I was dumped into a completely different city with no connection to Baldur's Gate. I got over it, though.

why and how is he alive now?

Why don't they make games in this style?

>I'm gonna buy the BG collection and Planescape, 100$ in total, just to get the platinums
Someday prevent me from doing this pls

Honestly? No. There are some quality of life improvements and some new characters thrown in, and you can still experience Baldur's Gate well enough if you just ignore the new characters. The main rub for me is the pricetag. The originals were selling on GOG for like, five bucks. Basically you're getting modded Baldur's gate for quadruple the price it should be.

You're joking about the $50 thing, right?

First the ProJared drama... and now BG3. Imagine being a Beamdog fan.

a conspiracy implies a long-term plan.

I'm not familiar with the average lifespan of an Illithid, but it's probably much longer than a human's

Not so much in 1 but in 2 there's a deep state tier conspiracy shit going on where Ilithids are planning to take over everything

They are on sale on gog atm. 5 bucks each. I prefer them by now because of the easy loot system. Just ignore the npcs and you're fine

>You're joking about the $50 thing, right?
Yes, sorry I'm just shitposting. It's 49.99 but BG1/SoD/2 are bundled together. And same with IWD/PST.

That's Amn and same with the jan/occult quest. And is not a 'hint' itself, just unfinished/canned content.

Like a mad dash to not die and over in a couple of rounds or intricate tactical combat. 5E's combat isn't tactical, it isn't threatening, and it drags on.

You saw "unfinished/canned content". Apparently they saw "opportunity"

I could write a poor fanfiction with anyone I want as the villains 200 years in the future and sure enough I could find dispersed clues that justify my headcanon, like a shitty lore letter item, but that wouldn't make me justified. Maybe Imoen's great granddaughter could be the villain, she always seemed a little crazy in the head.

Rather than "Hey this loose plot was never explored fully, why not write a story about it" it seems more like "Well we have to be 100 years in the future because of 5E. Let's use this long living race as antagonists because why not, tentacles are cool"

>>>Viconia

Maybe you don't have a main character this time round and things work more like they did in Icewind Dale?

Oh boy, I bet they'll reveal how Viconia transitioned, as it is openly accepted in Drow Society for males to become females.

Illithids are schemers, they are the kind of monsters who put plans in motion that may take 100 years before coming to fruition.

Yeah, he dies at the beginning.

they are hermaphrodites, they lay eggs that turn into tadpoles then they insert the mature tadpoles into humanoids and you see what happens in the trailer

they are also total perverts and experimented inserting their tadpoles in all sort of stuff like dragons and shit

Hey mind your manners, Nathyrra wasn't evil

Are you retarded? That's literally how you play multiplayer baldur's gate.

I don't remember anything of the like back in the Divinity games

There was that one feminist lady back in Dragon Commander I believe but she was played for laughs

Wizard wrote a book on the BG series which is the canon story. Some years after the conclusion of the game story, where the hero was not tempted to take bhaals powers, he gets in a massive fight with the last other bhaal spawn, no one is sure who won the fight but by the end of it, bhaal had resurrected himself and is again the forgotten realms God of murder.

>they are also total perverts and experimented inserting their tadpoles in all sort of stuff like dragons and shit

why are the illithids attacking a massive human city though? its pretty far from their turf

They want to quite literally control the multiverse

they once ruled the universe... they want to take it back...

god I hope the plot isn't actually this

dunno if this is a joke, but if it isn't can you explain it to someone unfamiliar with 5e? how can a paladin multiclass to a warlock (this is a thing now?) and sorcerer without relinquishing his divine powers?

its not about YOU sperg its about your party, and their feelings.

they want human waifus

where are you getting this from just curious

He meant that the host can disable players' pausing privileges under certain circumstances, so either only the host was allowed to pause and unpause or everyone could.

I look upon you and I feel nothing. I remember nothing but you turning your back on me,
along with all the others. Once my thirst for power was everything.
And now I hunger only for revenge.
And... I... Will... HAVE IT!!

this used to be bioware

To be a paladin you just need to be lawful in 5e. It doesn't matter if you're good or evil

How are classes in 5e?

Paladins aren't alignment locked to LG. You can totally be a Paladin of Vengeance and be all dark and brooding batman ---> go into Hexblade and from your brush with the arcane, say you've awoken your sorcerer bloodline.

They're right, you know.

If the game was to be an isometric TB game, why would they bother changing engines ?

Attached: illithid_det01.jpg (722x399, 62K)

to be fair the orignal baldur's gate also had an "interpretation" of the core rules.

He's part of bhaal now. Perhaps their consciousness could be fighting for supremacy? Guess it's up to the writers.

I hope the game will be balanced in such a way that allows me to make a coffeelock.

5e is set up in such a way that a paladin can be any alignment and that people can multiclass for free no matter what their character knows. In an effort to increase roleplaying, they have removed all consequences and motivations for roleplaying, so people just do what is most effective with no justification as if they are playing a videogame.

You don't even need to be explicitly lawful, it's just "recommended" that you be lawful. RAI, a DM cannot take away your paladin powers.

You're the filth user.

best villain of any cprg besides the nameless one

No

Path of the zealot Barbarian or fucking riot. Praise Moradin, the all-father. Root out the duergar where they have corrupted the land and settle the grudge.

Now, that's dumb. It makes paladins meaningless as a roleplaying class

>>I hope the game will be balanced in such a way that allows me to make a coffeelock.

If they allow "short rests" yeah, you can get your Sorcerer endgame feature super early by having a single level in warlock. Granted the endgame feature for sorcerer is really lame imo.

Yeah, this is going to be a fucking disaster. Literally Bethesda Fallout 3 all over again

very weird pick for a character to bring back
i would expect them to bring a more recognizable character back ,but such a pick is fine too

They said in an interview that the adventure would kick off with the tabletop adventure 'Murder in baldur's gate'. Bhaalspawn dies in that adventure.

>I hope the game will be balanced in such a way that allows me to make a coffeelock.
Don't worry about balance, Josh is already working at larian

Fallout 3 was a good game

Rangers suck, Monks as always are very Multi-Attribute-Dependent, and a lot of people who play Charisma-based classes keep dipping into Warlock. That said, it's fine as long as you've got decent folk playing.

>people don't like missing, so we got rid of attack rolls
God I really hope they're not doing the "attacks always hit and nobody ever dodges so everybody has huge HP pools and there's probably some armor breaking mechanic" thing, which I think is what the D:OS games did, right?

>the mental gymnastics to cope

This is not real. Right?

>so people just do what is most effective with no justification as if they are playing a videogame.

Hey man, I can still make roleplaying excuses for how I multiclass.

So it's about Illithids invading the surface?

I hope the spell Mind Blank is in the game.

oh ok cool, i hope we don't even see it happen or anything, they wouldn't wanna force a class/race or anything on PCs

You could still pause in the multiplayer, at least in EE online.

Of what (or who)?

It's less about alignments now and more about the Oaths that're baked into each subclass. There's still a code to follow, but there's more variety to them now.

that's gonna be a YIKES from me as the youngins say

Should have made Paladin's WIS for the spellcasting. CHA for their class features.

baldur's gate dark alliance on ps2 was based on 3rd edition, he probably means this. i'm sure he knows which version bg used

5E already moved towards that in playtesting and both OS1 and OS2 have much more lethal combat than 5E does. You're easily disabling or taking out an enemy per player action once you're out of early game hell.

still counts since IIRC she was evil in her character sheet due to that beeing a requirement for her class

Imagine a world when BG3 was a Beamdog product.

Honestly having them be more reliant on Charisma's fine. It's only a problem when multi-classing is allowed, and that's technically a variant ruleset so WotC probably doesn't care so much.

it worked and created all types of abominations like an ooze that eats you, steals your memories and creates a clone of you, rats that could cast spells, etc. oh and btw they all have psychic powers and can mind control you

Ithilids have always reproduced by taking over the bodies of humanoids. The tadpoles are inserted into the brain, it eats out the brain from the inside and takes it spot controlling the body.

go shit up another franchise you filthy secondary

Yea, and in my experience no one really follows the codes when they play a paladin and the dm's don't really care. Maybe it's more of a "it's the type of people playing 5e" kind of thing.

Convoluted, like your explanations for why you are fat.

Considering the turn-based combat system of D:OS 1&2 was ten to twenty times more fun than any RTwP combat system ever, I dont find it weird.

RTwP is just clicking and watching the pretty pixels flicker across the screen for your entertainment. TIf you're actually trying to do some positioning and cool stuff, you might as well just have it turn-based, as once you press that unpause button you bet your ass everything goes to shit.

You're complaining about it not being D&D user. You've never played D&D, so what does it matter?

Surprised someone took this long to post this.

>in my experience no one really follows the codes when they play a paladin and the dm's don't really care
Sounds like you need to find new people to play with. Before you say you already have, you need to *keep* finding new people until you have a group that doesn't fucking suck.

>all these faggots wanting turnbased in a fucking baldur's gate game
go stick to your Mario and Rabbids Switch game you fucking losers.

Did you forget the entire point of the Bhaalspawn prophecy mate? Bhaal's master plan was always to avoid his death by making a fuckton of kids to bring him back. CHARNAME's mother was one of his cultists and that was the entire reason she had the kid.

it's not bad it's just not as overpowered, but you can definitely have a lot of fun and be strong as an archer in bg2 don't worry about it, there's a reason you can take 6 party members, to fill in your weaknesses as individuals

I did find a new group, and I played pathfinder with them for about 2 months and it was a lot more fun before people kind of just stopped responding to texts/conversations about playing and it kind of just fizzled out.
And before you tell me to start dming, I was.

Gaider is a literal faggot and pretty unbearable person from what I can tell, and he was the lead writer for some of the most beloved Bioware waifus like Viconia, Aerie, Aribeth and Morrigan. Where is your God now?

>a fucking baldur's gate game
Baldur's Gate had turn based before your shit came out you fucking queer.

What franchise? All the real time franchises are dead since it's a garbage system and I am glad for it.
Thankfully Laria isn't stupid enough to do it

>Turn based is better for DnD
>when Turns fucks initiative up the ass.
Yeah okay.

>He actually thought that they were gonna let your PC be a god
C'mon now when has an rpg game with an ending choice to become a deity ever had a sequel that lets you play as a god.

Then play tabletop and don't touch vidya.

lol get rekt faggot I'll play whatever the hell I want

That's a bummer, I was playing Pathfinder myself until my friends wanted to switch to 5e for the sake of "simplicity". You just gotta get out there and find another group again. I know how annoying that can be though. Currently I'm just trying to stay content with a couple roll20 games I do with far-off friends.

All knife ears rook the same.

>tfw no drow gf lock me in her bedroom for the purposes of only sex.

I honestly believe RTwP is a design flaw in any game. The system inherently restricts the player and goes against the very core of DnD

Will there be a new evil drow thot I can waifu this time around too?

I was thinking maybe it could benedit from an Enhanced edition....as long as it wasn't done by Beamdick

I honestly hated the simplicity of 5e. It was just way too boring to play. I'd do roll20 as that seems like it would be the only way to get a group that would want to play consistently, but I tried it once and just for some reason much prefer playing with a physical table and with people with mini figs and shit.

>established canon lore says that this is your bg1/2 PC at a century old, who later battles that one teleporting bhaalspawn from ToB which brings Bhaal back

bruh. 4e's canon was pretty trash but 5e close as fuck

How does it do that?

No this time around you will only get males.

I honestly believe Turn-based is a design flaw in any game. The system inherently restricts the player and goes against the very core of DnD

I seriously doubt that the MC from the previous games will be the MC for this game, so what's the problem of him becoming Bhaal himself?

Nice informed opinion, yes, BG video games were shit, why would Larian use the title?
You have D:OS you secondary zoomer, why won't you stick to that instead of shitting up other series with Fortnite of cRPGs

Imagine Beamdog's additional content for BG I+II, and that dragon's something or whatever it's called expansion for BGI. That's what it will be like.

it's already fixed and enhanced. google circle of eight mod

You can suck a dick since BG3 is going to be RTwP
