So can someone fill me in on WHY this bitch is so popular? I thought for sure his personality would make up for his looks and it does not. He barely really has a personality atm.
He's already starting out with a handicap because I like little noodly twinks and not hulking Creatures who are nearly twice my character's size in every direction, it could be fair to point out that I'm barely past the first act, and I do respect his political game regarding the grove. But I'm not sure I can imagine it getting better.
Does it get better? Or do people just want the bear?
I did something similar, ran into her cage, convinced to tieflings to go away but I didn’t realize at first you can use a ranged weapon to free her (yeah I’m that noob lol) so I went away to search for crates to climb on. As soon as I left the area the quest was completed, she was no longer there.
As I understand it, she freed herself and you will find her quite later on to join you (after mountain pass) - assuming you convinced to tieflings to not kill her, in that case she’s not lost, you’ll have another chance.
I personally reloaded a previous save to free her myself.
It’s kind of amazing to me that Larian bumped up the release of BG3 by a month on PC because they didn’t want to compete against Starfield (and given the two big patches, maybe they could have put that extra month to good use), and it turns out it was Bethesda that should have been the one worried.
The problem is people defending the games as perfect 10/10 GOTY. And just the general gamers who get super whiny and mad if anyone complains about anything in Starfield, saying that's just the "Bethesda genre".
This is an interesting take. I adore Skyrim and just yesterday started playing BG3. I am enjoying it, but I never did anything else with DND (parents thought it would make Jesus sad or whatever) and so I am finding it more complex from the get-go than I would like, but I’m trying to learn. I still do feel like I’m missing out on a lot by just going with “whatever” and not putting enough thought into character creation, spells, etc, but it’s a lot to learn and I’m only 1 day in :)
Skyrim, on the other hand, was very easy to pick up, start playing, and just…explore and discover. Because of that, I was eagerly anticipating Starfield but sadly I do not possess the platform required to play it so I am reading the reviews to see if it’s worth buying an entire XBox for. If it’s as great as Skyrim, yes. If it’s meh, no.
So, reviews like this make me wonder if the author enjoys and/or is already familiar enough with the steep learning curve for it not to get in the way and by extension the game itself. Would they have been fine with Starfield had they never played BG3? And is Starfield “simple” enough for me to have a great time, or is it too much of what the author complains about here? - Repetitive quests, limited choices, etc?
It’s a hard question to answer, and the stakes are higher for me because of the console thing. I guess I could send the console back at least if the game isn’t for me? Idk.
I haven't played Starfield. But I have been amazed at the depth of Baldur's Gate 3. You can see the handcrafted world every where you look. And this makes a world you enjoy spending time in.
Well shit… I had just started an evil run the other day (literally last save is about to go into the gobbo camp to snag Minthara and fuck shit up). But now I think I’ll just wait for the patch :/
Edit: Yay it’s here! Time to go be a bad bitch 😎 Damn Larian! I expected this to take like a week from the announcement. Love ya!
Pictures of Minsc are a spoiler. I’m still waiting on the Mac version to release and already knew, but I’m sure some people would prefer to remain unaware that our favourite ranger from the original games is back with his miniature gigantic space hamster buddy.
Question. When you first learn that he’s a vampire it looks like he is ABOUT TO bite you. But during the dialogue I noticed that bite marks showed up on my neck. So, I kicked him out because fuck you for biting me while I sleep. But then the marks went away right away.
