Lol I have it AND most of the tabletop books too. Great setting but probably the most woke rpg devs I've ever seen.Was torment tides of numenera no good?

Shit they even released a pdf book on consent in rpgs ffs.
I can't even bother with Numenera anymore due to how nauseatingly woke it is. It's an 11 out of a 10 on the Woke Meter.I remember when fantasy wasn't a safe space...
Try fighting 2 beholders in different areas at the same time in RtwP and see how that feels. lol
Yea, next thing you're gonna tell me is you enjoyed it.pfft, already did that in the Underdark of BG2
"I don’t think that current-gen consoles would be able to run it. There’s a lot of technical upgrades and updates that we did to our engine. I don’t know if it would be capable of being able to actually run on those things.
Maybe it could run, but then we would have to tone down the textures and this and that and it wouldn’t look as cool anymore.”
Is this a joke?Was going to post this in clown world as i thought it would be a better place, but anyway..
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a next-gen experience only for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One cannot run it
Oh please....
Tldr: BG3 is aimed at D&D fans. The license was given to Larian to push 5E.
Well yeah you're almost right. The gameplay shows you get infected and then it crashes and you converse with a guy asking if a gay vampire can be affected by a mind flyer tadpole and off you go on adventures.I bet you start off in the crashed ship as one of the infected prisoner.
The catgirl is your typical first chatty party member (or they go woke and she is super cool type)
You fight and kill the master squid as last boss. The ending will have you choose becoming the next master squid to rule the world, or destroying yourself and be the hero.
Boring crpg troupee..
I don't care about sexual orientation. What ever floats your boat.Uh oh I gotta catch up to the thread but in a tl;dr what's all this now? I mean in regards to this backlash and Divinity 2 reskin stuff you're referring to.
As for the gay vampire, I saw that in the gameplay. Not at all surprised they're going 'woke' but in all fairness, the "gay vampire" is practically a stereotype and trope since Interview with a Vampire and all.
I was wondering can you change the sexual orientation or is it already pre-set?
Torment Tides of Numenera also has a shitty turn based system that was implemented after a kickstarter poll that had TB win by a very small percentage.I can't even bother with Numenera anymore due to how nauseatingly woke it is. It's an 11 out of a 10 on the Woke Meter.
Dafuq happened to Monte Cook and others?
Say what you want about millennials but my gen (gen x) and boomers are insufferable.
I did. Was sweet wiping out that shit hole infested hive of Beholders. I know what I am doing though and have a strategy to fight them and the tactics to win.Yea, next thing you're gonna tell me is you enjoyed it.
You realise that real-time gameplay is technically more demanding than turn-based?DnD has always been turn based, even back when BG was made if you can believe it, they were dealing with the same system, they just choose to take advantage of the computational power of computers (zunnmmm) to make all those rolls happen simultaneously. Basically, I'm pretty sure DnD pretty much always envisioned their turn based battles being a mathematical way to simulate organic battles.. BG battle system achieved that underlying vision.
I heard the vampire mentioning he was chasing some guy but didn't catch the context.I don't care about sexual orientation. What ever floats your boat.
Listen to what the vampire was doing before he got captured! Reeks of paedo. Was not impressed with that part at all.

What a waste of a game when you compare it to Planescape Torment.

Also by the time you are in Underdark you should have understood the importance of buff/debuff and freeaction/dispel etc...

I've been playing D&D since the early 80s and know about all that shit. RtwP just gets annoying, as I wanna be able to take my time and relax more, have a sip of brandy or toke between turns. Not constantly have to watch everything with my finger on pause. And it's just sloppy too. You can't even form good defensive lines and protect casters, ect....as monsters just slide past as it turns into this ridiculous kiting fest, instead of being able to maintain proper battle lines.Was sweet wiping out that shit hole infested hive of Beholders.

He's a Vampire.I heard the vampire mentioning he was chasing some guy but didn't catch the context.
That sounds fucking creepy.
If they're injecting pedo shit in games now, this whole industry deserves to burn to the ground.
It was shit. And even shit is too much of a complimentWas torment tides of numenera no good?
Yeah, paladins no longer need to be specific alignment, now every god has their own paladins, even the evil ones.So...
Is a 4 party members Not 6
And there's no moral Alignment during character creation,the moral Is decided by your answers like divinity
But What about the paladin that can be only legal good? Or things are changed in the 5e?
Baldur's Gate II did not take place in Baldur's Gate. The connection between games in the franchise used to be the Bhaalspawn Saga and RTP battle system.How else do you define a franchise other than by connected elements between the games? There are gameplay differences among games in many series, yet characters/story/setting are what connects those games as being apart of the same series. If your definition of a Baldur's Gate game is strictly a game that has RTWP gameplay set in/around Baldur's Gate, then your definition is just as lacking as you say mine is.
The problem isn't my mental gymnastics, it's your inflexibility. Work out that brain some, give different things a try! You have a quitters attitude.
In this case you are not forced with the coiches by your character but Is you player that made choicesYeah, paladins no longer need to be specific alignment, now every god has their own paladins, even the evil ones.

I don't care any more. Larian has potentially lost most of the BG fan base.
Not paying full price for a divinity 2 reskin and the backlash is huge on all the forums. Fucking hilarious really.
Alot of us are also not happy at the woke bullshit they are pushing with the paedo gay vampire character.
That's the point I'm making man, BG battle style is more novel and technical than, like, fire emblem, final fantasy tactics, DOS, i think it's more than worth larian breaking a sweat to implement it in a licensed sequel~You realise that real-time gameplay is technically more demanding than turn-based?
The more i think of this the less patience i have for people saying larian dumping turn based combat on BG is somehow preferable to them keeping the original battle system. There aren't any two ways about it: in the 90s, devoted DnD fans broke their balls to develop a complex real time interpretation of the battle simulations of the table top game. They saw that there was a dream behind the table top system and that the processing capabilities of computers could make that dream real. They succeeded, their games are considered to this day to be at the peak of their genre.
Any DnD ruleset would work in the BG battle system.
I've been playing replaying pillars of eternity and its sequel, deadfire must have just about the best application of this battle system... That's where I'll leave it.
Make it too similar to the originals: "Ugh, gaming has evolved, get with the times."
I think BG2 had room to evolve, but in the areas of 3d, map detail.. frankly, the BG3 video looks amazing... Very interesting... just not the combat.
It's quite ballsy not to let reality get in the way of your opinions. I wish I had your moxie.
Ah, Deadfire. Crashed and burned so hard. Never recovered. Why is it that when Larian decides to go turn-based suddenly the vocal few want to convince us that the world wanted rtwp instead...yet Deadfire sold like 4 copies? Maybe you lot should have put your money where your mouth is. And Kingmaker? you all bought that, right? No, you didn't. It's a damn fine piece of rtwp awesome and most of you complainers haven't even finished it. That's why you're getting turned-based BG3. You did this to yourself.
Big thanks to all you folks who watched the live stream with us and the podcast later. Saw a lot of usernames I recognized. Had a great time with you folks.
The game is shaping up and to me despite it feeling like DOS2.5. I think that is something that the lore, gameplay changes, rules changes, characters, and story will help out. Going to be interesting regardless
I tried playing Pathfinders but I couldn't get into it for some reason. I love PoE 1 and 2. I have the special edition cloth map version of PoE2. Maybe I need to look deeper into how to play Pathfinder. I don't like games that put a time limit on what I do though.
So look into the mods for Kingmaker (Steam workshop supported). You can turn them off.
I love turn-based combat, but goddamn if Kingmaker wasn't a fucking fantastic rtwp experience. I can't recommend it enough.
FF7 is going to have a classic ATB mode like the original as an option.I might be biased because I prefer TB, that being said, Larian nailed TB encounters with Div OS 1 and 2. That tactical approach to battles and how they set the battles up, wouldn't work or feel as engaging if it was real time. It would also be a freaking mess, with so much pausing required, that it may as well be TB.
The industry has moved away from Tb with Fallout and FF7 remake going a different direction. It's a shame, because TB is like chess when done right and it can be thoroughly enjoyable.
Plus, i can spark up a phat joint while playing and take my time thinking. Same goes with MtG
Dissapointed? You don't even know how it feels. Have you seen Dungeon's and Dragon's: Dark Alliance .. imagine being a Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance fan, waiting for #3 also (it's been 15 years btw), and getting this :
Thanks for the info. But I could go directly with the BGs no ? I am not "scared" to play old games (because they look extremely old school ^^)
Anyway I am really interested in this kind of RPG. I'll try to squeeze some in between others RPGs... The closest game from this genre (I think) I played was Dragon Age Origins and I loved it.
I feel for Larian, they we're fucked no matter what call they made.
Make it too similar to the originals: "Ugh, gaming has evolved, get with the times."
Make it too different from.the originals: "Argh, more of my precious childhood destroyed."
I actually couldn't stand Kingmaker at all until someone told me that a turn based mod exists. Now I consider it the best overall CRPG in years (but only with the mod).I love turn-based combat, but goddamn if Kingmaker wasn't a fucking fantastic rtwp experience. I can't recommend it enough.
Lol I have it AND most of the tabletop books too. Great setting but probably the most woke rpg devs I've ever seen.
