Relatively bug-less release is what is important. The character creation options are absolutely sick already and there are still a ton of races and classes and subclasses to add.This is truth. Those voices are going to get drowned out when the actual game comes out and 5-10 million normal people see how much freedom and fun they have playing through the story solo and in co op. There's like 50 grumpy BG2 fans that constantly complain about wanting outdated mechanics inserted into the game, as well as a small group of 5E purists who want an endless amount of "toggles" where they can set the rules to be more like tabletop and make everything extremely clunky with endless popups. It won't be divisive unless it's really buggy or something. The fact that things like graphics and memory was so limited back then compared to now doesnt mean great games wherent made back then.Īs an example bg2 still have one of the most iconic villains in gaming because his dialogue and voice actor was great. Games like BG3 exist solely because bg2 was a success. It doesnt hold up to todays standards but that doesnt mean it should be ignored and forgotten.

Its such a good game that its still top 10 on many goat lists. I am truly glad Larian puts an effort in resisting this understanding that these few dozen weirdos would simply ruin everything given the chance.īaldurs gate 2 is literally the pinnacle of the DnD rpgs though. Quite a few projects got fucked up hard just because of this neo-luddite attitude. Would be less of an issue, if they would not constantly try to poison the well with their bullshit about how "it's just not the same, maaan". The people who think that Diablo 2, Heroes 3, BG2 and such were the pinnacle and it all went downhill since. You have plenty of old millennials like myself, but who instead just can't move on from the "good ol' 2000s" for some reason. I am, but it's not about the age it's about mindset. What of course will make it or break it will be Act 2 and 3, the setting is loaded - how it progresses and resolves with obviously be the key. You could say at that point it's not unlike BG1, where shit hits the fan around you and you not knowing why really, instead you know but don't understand the exact reason why and how this is such a big deal. Act 1 is pretty massive, but it resolves nothing of course - it puts quite a few factions and powers of interest on the plate that all appear to be after what's in you for one reason or the other. The setup is there with mysteries and weird stuff going on. What is missing is the feel of BG when it comes to the story, the companions, the villains. Would have loved to have that gameplay on BG and BG:2 as I'm someone who's been playing D&D since I was 10 and this actually feels so close to a tabletop experience. Tail end of Millenials but still.Īnd I have absolutely no issue with the gameplay.
#Baldurs gate 3 forum license
And I don't give rats ass that it's also D:OS3 or whatever the complaint is, because by all means - they did excellent job that that landed them the license to begin with and BG3 already appears to be amazing building on the solid ground.? I bought BG when it was out as a teenager and I am a Millenial. And I don't give rats ass that it's also D:OS3 or whatever the complaint is, because by all means - they did excellent job that that landed them the license to begin with and BG3 already appears to be amazing building on the solid ground.īG3 will be a legendary game, an RPG experience on its own as it should be in 2022 and not some sad imitation of a game from 20 years old that did not age well. The worst thing that could have happened to Baldur's Gate franchise is some sort of niche cRPG isometric reimagining like various super niche games do, with the best shot so far being Pillars that spawned a bunch of others of barely any note.īG3 will be a legendary game, an RPG experience on its own as it should be in 2022 and not some sad imitation of a game from 20 years old that did not age well. Here's the thing - I don't want Baldur's Gate 2 in 2022. That may or may not have been what Larian wanted, but I think it will be divisive on release between those who think BG3 "doesn't feel like a BG game" and those that are fine with that notion.Bunch of boomer cultist bullshit.

I am saying the game has a distinct feel of a Larian game and not that of the franchise of Baldur's Gate. Explain what? I am not sure what you need clarity on.
