Real people also sometimes do stupid shit that seems to go against their nature. I’d keep playing. You could make your regret inform all your future decisions.

Stovetop, (edited ) in 'There's almost nobody left': CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs

Seeing a lot of people in this and similar threads confused by the headline apparently not having read the article.

There were no mass layoffs at Larian, the video game studio that developed Baldur’s Gate 3.

There were mass layoffs at Hasbro, the company that owns Wizards of the Coast, which produces the Dungeons & Dragons RPG system used by Baldur’s Gate 3.

Throughout the development of Baldur’s Gate 3, the team at Larian would have been working alongside the team at Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast to make sure the Dungeons & Dragons system was integrated properly into the video game.

Following the layoffs, the CEO of Larian had commented that the D&D team who had helped design the system that Baldur’s Gate 3 is based on is now almost completely gone.

cupcakezealot, in Baldur's Gate 3 colossal new patch adds a playable epilogue set six months after the game ends with 3,589 new lines of dialogue, 2 new difficulty modes, and I'm running out of headline space

Spoiler for the epilogue:

EpilogueShadowheart mentions (at least on Selûne path, when you romanced her) befriending a peculiar Imp named Bing Bong after your adventures in Baldur’s Gate. So I guess in this universe Bing Bong is alive and well in Faerûn.

Continued SpoilersI’m especially interested in Dev’s reaction and whether Jen and Aliona will let anything slip next time they stream. I mean, they were probably both there when Jen recorded it.

Added a couple of Potions of Animal Speaking to the Epilogue.

Thank fuck. I was sad I couldn’t say good bye to my good boy Scratch.

blahsay, in I am astounded that someone made this...

Surely if anything belongs in Lemmy shitpost this does. Awesome 👍

Ashtear, in Trying to get into Act 2

So if you’re in the Underdark, you’re not actually in Act 2 yet. If you need the main story to drive you forward, you have a little further to go. The Underdark doesn’t advance any personal quests, at least not in a major way, even though there’s plenty to do.

The difference between this and D:OS2 is that while Reaper’s Coast felt open, the level scaling still had the zone on rails, more or less. Here, you have a couple different ways to go. If you want to move on (I suggest level 5 if you aren’t already first), there is a way forward to find. If you want a more straightforward road, try the path on the surface.

mikyopii, in [Spoilers] A helpful Venn Diagram for the companions
@mikyopii@programming.dev avatar

The only flaw I could find here is that insatiably horny probably applies to most of the companions.

Siethron,

Judging from dialogue options it applies to the MC too.

My character is a straight dude, but every other talk option to Wyll is “I want to bone you”

mikyopii, (edited )
@mikyopii@programming.dev avatar

Wyll is very horny in appearance too lol

Lazel jumped my evil bones quicker than Astarion even though I was actively trying for Astarion and let him feed on me.

Earthprototype, in Maybe if there's DLC

Yeah the first 10 hours it’s like nice and all. After 80 hours you just wanna drown her in this damn river. Also the way the music swells everytime you kill an enemy…

SnotFlickerman, (edited )
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Replay as an evil bard and smash her fucking mandolin.

Every time.

OscarRobin,

I’m 120hr in and honestly still love it. I still do wish there was a lot more variance in music though for sure.

Norgur, in What having a bard in the party is like

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you

captain_oni,

So we’re fighting monks today?

Anticorp,

I said maybe

We can put the past away.

newthrowaway20, in How to become a sentient cheese wheel in Baldur’s Gate 3 - Dexerto

This happened to me. I caught the djinn cheating in his spin the wheel game and didn’t let up on accusations when I should have. Worth it.

FooBarrington,

Took me way too long to figure out that you can actually beat him at his game!

Nyurla is so good.

vzq, in My husband forever and always

I picked Gale as my origin character on a whim (I wanted to get to playing without spending too much time in character creation. Also I like wizards), but he’s been a blast to play.

DudeDudenson,

I’ve been just playing custom characters, I’m on like the 3rd 100% playthrough. How different is it to grab one of the characters? Do you get to be an asshole to everyone as la zael?

HRDS_654,

I wouldn’t say it’s significantly different, but it’s different enough. Some of the choices are actually based around the characters, and you get character specific cutscenes.

MagicShel,

I have yet to play an origin character other than durge. But it seems like it would make it easier to have everyone around for their bit of story. "Oops going into the magic shop need Gale. Here’s Jahira’s family, better grab her. Dammit, it’s Mizora, have to grab both Karlach and Wyll. Ugh, have to show this cave art to Shart.

Not even counting swapping in Gale when I need Feather Fall or buffing the party with Longstrider or Shart for Feast and Aid. I hate how cumbersome it is to swap characters. I know there are mods, but not on PS5.

Aaroncvx,

On your next play through try killing or running off most of your companions and you won’t have that issue. You’re welcome.

asexualchangeling,

Playing as durge rn (second play through, first as durge) and I’ve already lost all but shadow heart, astarian, and lazel to “accidents”, I hope I don’t regret that later but it’s nice having a more limited team, plus I can rely on hirelings if I need to

MrNesser, in Pro tip: use those empty pouches/ backpacks for item organization

I just wish we could rename them

Fades, (edited )

Yeah, there are mods that at least will give you special pouches and backpacks and things with like an icon on it (sword, armor, etc)

Would have been nice to have a vanilla solution tho for sure

Makeitstop, in I am astounded that someone made this...

This just tells me that there is a market there waiting for Larian to make a game based on F.A.T.A.L.

setsneedtofeed,
@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

The math in that game is somehow more traumatizing than the content.

Thoth19,

Or the game design. It’s so focused on “realism” that 90 percent of players will be farmers who only gain exp for planting and harvesting crops and NPCs are forced to attack you bc of race relations. Or the disgusting way the stats/attributes work.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Yeah people always joke about FATAL as “that pervy game” but that take is ignorant to all the rape and racism in the mechanics.

Thoth19,

Yeah. Its mechanics are amazingly intricately bad. It feels like someone spent a lot of effort on it and then never play tested. I super want to play it with some friends and lean in heavily to silly sex mechanics.

CitizenKong, in Can't say I wasn't completely thrown

Best thing about this is when you attack Elminster, he’s actually just a construct. So he didn’t even bother to turn up personally.

tetraodon,

Perhaps he was afraid that Gale would blow himself up

CitizenKong, (edited )

I don’t think even that would faze the real Elminster much. He’s as close to a god that a mortal can get in the Forbidden Realms I think, the champion of the living embodiment of magic itself. I mean, he didn’t even consider an Elder Brain to be worth his undivided attention.

Keegen, in If you respec Shadowheart as a Paladin you get a few extra dialogue options specific to [Paladin of Shar]

This happens whenever you multi-class into paladin/cleric as any other character, didn’t know you don’t need to do so specifically for Shadowheart. The fact that the god specific paladin dialogue exists really makes me wish we got an optional god selection for paladins during character creation, having to sacrifice a feat or a bunch of class features just to get some RP dialogue kinda sucks.

teft, (edited )
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

That’s awesome! In my run she’s a pure paladin but I guess now I’m going to have to roll a Paladin of Lolth so me and Minth can be twinsies.

The really neat thing is there is even a tag on her statistics page that says Paladin of Shar.

teft,
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

I just checked with a new character and you’re totally right. I wonder what happens if you go meet the paladins of Tyr as a real Paladin of Tyr… Man, just when I thought I was done with this game it drags me back in.

ahornsirup,
@ahornsirup@sopuli.xyz avatar

There’s a couple of mods to that end, though I can’t vouch for them. I’ve been meaning to try them out but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

And here’s one for paladins specifically. Again, I have not tested any of these myself.
