Baldur's Gate 3

[1998]

Probably. But the description is really misleading. It doesn't just avoid failure streaks, it basically adds 5 to each roll and avoids failure altogether. I probably failed 4-5 checks (rather unimportant ones) in 15h tops.

i read it does the same for enemies too, which can make a fight harder. one guy did tests with the EA build and said with weighted dice on (earlier name for the feature) his 24ac character got hit at about the same rate as a 16ac character in a 100 roll test.

Not sure about harder, but **** they are significantly longer with both sides now realistically missing.

Yeah, when you find enough of 2 ingredients that work together, you unlock recipes.

I hate this.. I wish everything was behind a recipe / game knowledge / experimentation.

Love it. Keep it as simple as possible, I hate alchemy

The track to reading all of those should be something like Manowar - Warriors of the World. lol

People you murdered will refuse to speak to you when you try to use speak with the dead on them.
Unless, of course, you don't look like their murderer…

[General Reign]

Oh so they took away one of the few reasons to play Arcanum.

<wunderbar> conan exiles managed to create hype out of nowhere by having customizable genitals, then cyberpunk did it as well
<wunderbar> swen just copied their idea, while also making it lgbt-friendly
<herkzter> dos 2 and bg3 are a world apart in terms of restraint rofl
<herkzter> swen really went for it
<aweigh0101> "<herkzter> no, its meant to cater to people who look at rule 34 or whatever" --> but the thing is, it's a SPECIFIC kind of horniness. the same people who applaud genital sliders in bg3 are the first ones to censor a female character who shows too much cleavage or is "too pretty" in any other game
<Dedd> Sex with animals is just a joke until it's not
<aweigh0101> a mortal kombat female character can't be sexy or dress sexy, but you can show orc **** in bg3, the same person will say the mk character is demeaning to women and then turn around and praise the orc **** and vagina slider in bg3
<aweigh0101> all they care about is whether heterosexual men enjoy something, if they like it then it's bad
<aweigh0101> if freaks enjoy it then it's good
<aweigh0101> pretty female char with big tits? bad
<aweigh0101> genital sliders for freaks? good
<aweigh0101> it really is as simple as that
<herkzter> booba cleavage is fine. i feel like people who protest it are highly sheltered
<herkzter> like have they ever gone to da beach
<aweigh0101> the people who protest it are the same ones who celebrate genital sliders and skin disease options
<aweigh0101> it has little to do with their morals
<aweigh0101> it's all about the message it sends
<aweigh0101> i mean
<aweigh0101> dude, they censored the Miranda butt-shot in Mass Effect remasters
<wunderbar> i raised a stink about bear sex in BG3 on one russian forum ,and immediately got attacked by libruls who all started to remind me about the sheep gag from arcanum
<aweigh0101> they CENSORED the BUTT SHOT
<aweigh0101> but then turn around and celebrate bear *******
<aweigh0101> it has NOTHING to do with morality
<aweigh0101> it's about politics
<aweigh0101> plain and simple
<wunderbar> "see, rpg gaming was always about ******* animals. bg3 is not breaking any new ground"
<aweigh0101> A FULLY CLOTHED BUTT mind you
<aweigh0101> not even a bare butt
<Dedd> Just a ******** whataboutism
<aweigh0101> the shot was "demeaning to women"
<aweigh0101> but incoherence has always been leftist's greatest strength
<aweigh0101> it doesn't have to make sense, chud
<Dedd> How many animal abuse cases will be attributable to BG3?
<aweigh0101> the same people who celebrate bg3 hedonism applaud the Spider-Man movie censoring the joke where tobey maguire asks macho man randy savage if his 'husband got him that outfit'
<aweigh0101> they will censor a joke like that but implement vulva slider
<Dedd> The difference is they can self-insert in BG3

[rusty_shackleford]

Yes, unlike arcanum it's not an unfinished prototype used only a couple times, it's available on a large amount of NPCs throughout the game.

[rusty_shackleford]

The camera is pretty bad in tight areas and becomes really difficult to properly navigate vertical areas with. Really needs a manual Y axis control or a way to just disable it automatically removing things I'm trying to climb onto.

@rusty_shackleford is russian confirmed.

The sheep gag was not marketed to sell the game.

[rusty_shackleford]

welp, only took about 80 hours but I finally figured out what the 1-10 keybinds in the options are for
Go to your 'Custom' ability bar tab, and abilities there use them.



Has an issue though because it was designed for 2 rows, not the maximum 4, so this happens

:/

[The_Mask]

I think that if you keep it on the maximum of 4 all the time, they don't jumble around so much. You can also have a different amount of rows for each character. They tried.

I know. That's the point I made in this thread the other day.

Why? Just... why? Guess they need to please those with a tentacle fetish.

[Goth-Girl-Supremacy]

70 bucks huh

[Tweed]

Imagine paying 70 dollars for a harem simulator.

[rusty_shackleford]

Another point against companions is they're just flat out buggy. Many of the flags are messed up, dialogue doesn't flow right, events triggering at the wrong time.
I've encountered near zero bugs outside of companion interactions. It hurts to know the people responsible for them will be making larian's next game rather than the people responsible for the rest of the game.

There's absolutely no way the companion dialogue is anywhere near as complicated as most of the quests in the game which are all incredibly open-ended and goal-oriented.

Jaheira and Minsc are far above the OC donutsteel companions btw. They really should have introduced them earlier, screw all the other characters. I'm going to assume the people who wrote them were not the ones responsible for the gay elf druid.

Rather play Persona 5 at least the grills are cute

It may be easier to shrink the toolbar to assign hotkeys. Then increase the size after.

The sexually frustrated middle aged woman wanted to write romances for a horny misunderstood big girl who shares too much too fast instead of a legacy character? I'm shocked!

Modern game design's highest tenant.

I got a couple of crashes and the camera gets stuck occasionally. Am I the only one?
But yeah, but better technical bugs than gameplay ones.

Community Update #23: Here's To You
Hello, everyone!

During the launch weekend, you played a combined 1225 years of Baldur’s Gate 3 – almost as long as it took to make it. And 368 of you managed to finish it within that 3-day weekend. We salute you.

We’re about to enter the second weekend of launch, and thanks to you, it’s looking like it might be a big one. Last Thursday, we released Baldur’s Gate 3 in its final form (give or take a few hotfixes), and since, you’ve taken it into the top 10 all-time most concurrent players on Steam, and according to this Tweet, accounted for 28% of all player time on Steam last Sunday.

As we continue to look forward, releasing hotfixes and working toward our first serious patch, we also decided to look backwards this week. We’ve cooked up some statistics highlighting data from the opening weekend following launch and prepared a handy infographic outlining player choices, actions, deaths, and the like. Some inspiration as we head into our second weekend, if you will.

93% of you decided that your first journey through Baldur’s Gate 3 will be with a custom character, which included the Dark Urge. You spent a combined 88 years in Character Creation to craft your Tavs. Perfection!

For those of you who decided to play as one of our Origin characters, Gale was the number one choice, which is funny because he’s also the seventh highest cause of death out of any other cause of death. Speaking of death, one NPC was shoved into a chasm for every player at our peak concurrent player count – roughly 815,000.

We know you’re dying to know race and class split. The majority of you rolled half-elves, with the least popular (somewhat surprisingly) being the githyanki. Kaincha!




When it comes to classes, paladin takes the lead by some distance. Righteous! Cleric was the least popular choice, poor Shadowheart. (You can always respec Origin characters if you want!)




Though 93% of you rolled custom Tavs, of the 7% who decided to embark on one of the Origin stories, the majority chose Gale – though Karlach and Astarion are a close tie for second place. Based on how this played out with our previous game, Divinity: Original Sin 2, players will often embark upon their first playthrough with a custom character, and then, once they've gotten to know them a little better, play their second with one of the Origins as their avatar.

Interestingly, 10% of characters made in Character Creation were there for over an hour. You perfectionists.




The full infographic will be posted below and on social media, and once again only contains data from the game's opening weekend. After this weekend, we’ll see if things look any different! For example, although Astarion has already rejected 100,000 of you, we expect that number to climb. He must be exhausted.




We’d like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the profound joy you've given us throughout this launch. The love and support you've shown us has lifted us up and energised us to tackle the bugs that pop up as you do the unexpected. We’ve created a game where you can do almost anything with the tools and systems we give you, and with that come a lot of unexpected surprises, but as you report them, we continue to work away on fixing them with our spirits high.

Your journeys were so full that we recently had to increase the size of savegames to allow for each individual’s personal tapestry. It was a surprise as humbling as it was serious, and serves as the perfect example of the type of unpredictable situation we work quickly to remedy. And yes, all of the hotfixes and changes that come with forthcoming patches will be reflected in the PlayStation 5 version of the game and beyond.

We have a roadmap for hotfixes and patches, thanks to your thorough reporting and the stellar work of the support and development teams behind the scenes. We don’t publish our roadmaps because we need the freedom to push and pull things around when the unforeseen happens without locking ourselves in, but we want to let you know that it’s there and that we’re currently working towards Patch 1, which will feature a gigantic list of tweaks and changes. We’ll publish these once it’s finalised.

Enjoy the adventure!

All half-elves must hang.

Everyone who cares about the game can look at the Steam page and see the exact same information easily. Why does the whole update need to be pasted here?

[The_Mask]

Because not everyone cares enough to look it up on Steam.

Darkvision and shield proficiency. A top pick for an arcane caster. Also has an attractive default appearance unlike halfling and others.

[KnightoftheWind]

Are you guys actually playing this goyslop?. It's amazing how quickly "based gamers" toss their supposed integrity to the side so long as a game is decently playable. Same propaganda, same 'message', but oh jeez I gotta play that new RPG!. I can play as a lizard man!.
