Baldur's Gate III Announced - ...and it's coming to Google Stadia and PC

[Maude Snew]

You know, come to think of it, making a hideous genderblob troon character would be pretty funny. Your character wakes up getting off some sort of medical pod in hell California surrounded by Gigeresque tentacle shit. You could totally roleplay coming fresh off your transition.

There's threads here for that I don't dare venture into anymore.

We'll need to see if it is a bad game mechanics wise

I mean it is 5e so that's a given.

 

[Mr Bunny]

Have you all considered the possibly that nigger humans isn't a sign that the devs are woke but that they're elven supremist and they see all you humans as basically niggers. I can empathize with the dev on this one.

 

[Vecr]

If the Discord leaks are to be believed, then yeah there is at least one troon (though it's not a leak anymore at this point). Part of a companion story too.

Spoiler: The name

You want to kill someone called Nocturne.

Spoiler: The full story

The UI for conversation logs in the images looks familiar so I'm inclined to believe it. But I'll let you know if I have this convo with Shadowheart.

Who is "Narrator" in the conversation? I don't really know how D&D works, but is that essentially the equivalent of someone sitting at the table giving you out-of-band information that your character is supposed to know but you as the player don't?

 

[Unremarkable Anus Lover]

I'm not picking on you but what you're saying is indicative of a wider problem.

"I hope the game isn't woke"
"Well, there's only one or two trannies in the game."
"It's just one graphic scene of sex with a bear."
"They made the default human a black woman because too many people picked the default white man but other than that this won't affect *my* experience"

Can we please stop with the coping. The game is woke. The game is shit. The game makes the Pathfinder NTR shit look tame by comparison. There are multiple instances of degeneracy in this game. And this will have a knock on effect as other trannies realize they can show off their fetishes in their games even less subtlety than before. This will not be an isolated incident. This will lead to further retardation.

Maybe you should play the game past the character selection screen to conclude if the game really is woke or not? I mean some of the concerns I can definitely understand but people freaking the fuck out over druid bear sex is pretty retarded considering there's been way weirder shit in these types of games before, albeit not as graphic.

There's really no need to cope in the first place unless you think a modern boomer CRPG is gonna invoke the spirit of the Weimar Republic.

Play it - or don't, who the fuck cares.

Controversial opinion but I'm having fun.

Also a warning for lawful paladins. Lying breaks your oath so any deceitful speech checks are basically inaccessible to you. It's also bugged in co op atm so if your partner lies with you present also breaks your oath.

Glad I went with the essentially Capeshit Pally (protect the weak) because I always just play a good boy in first playthroughs.

I do want to trigger the cutscene that turns you into an Oathbreaker but for a good fun plottwist reason.

Also they really did make Wyll a fun party member. He just had the personality of drywood in the EA.

There's also Goblin toe sucking, there's skipping any and all face and body sliders for dick sliders, weird ogre sex, and the gay twink vampire. I've said it before, there's no such think as and ironic jerkoff session. These things do pile up, it was perfectly valid to be grossed out and turned away by this without even getting into the shit the parent companies are doing and the sub par gameplay. It's especially understandable in current year when there's been a decade of all this shit being pushed down your throat whether you like to or not, I wouldn't fault anybody to be fucking sick of any of it being front and center in the marketing over say, gameplay, or plot, or a fleshed out character creator at any point.

I've taken the basic character creator in their previous games because the story and gameplay made up for it and because they didn't rub their pixel dicks in my face by saying they didn't have the time to let me create a proper body and face for my character but oh, they went all out on the dicks.

It's not even about woke or not, it's about a sizeable portion of the team and a significant amount of time and money going not into gameplay, story, the basics, but some asshole(s) shoving their fetish all in your face and people should have spoken up about it at the dawn of the Internet, they did for a bit with the furries but then everybody forgot and we've had people raping puppies to death with sticks covered in ants. Yeah, you can't tilt at windmills, you for sure can't and shouldn't get upset every single time or you'll be miserable but you also can't go well it's just a joke bro, just consume product anymore. Not at this point.

Yeah, puzzle piece me, it's proper for my sperging.

 

[HalfPint]

I loved DOS2. It's probably my favorite game of all time. The bar is high. Baldur's Gate better be good.

 

[Just Some Other Guy]

and a significant amount of time and money going not into gameplay, story, the basics

How do you know this? What if people play through the game and discover *gasp* it's actually good?

Because you don't just will a bear sex scene into existence, that shit costs time and money and they did motion capture, you know what that shit costs? It's not Quentin fucking Tarantino just lingering on feet for a hand full of shots, the models, the rigging, the voice acting, and a million other things aren't just a throwaway thing. That shit's expensive. And ultimately fucking every last thing they do tends to go against total budget. Chris Roberts walking into the room telling his designer to make that pixel blue, not green went into the budget, not so much for the designer but you bet your ass he did bill for that at the time.

This is not a Bethesda game where some modder just spends ten thousand hours without pay to make a bear sex scene, this is in house.

 

[Tekken Enjoyer]

I want to make a bear fucking build, what would you guys recommend? Pretty new to DnD but I know how it works for the most part.

So what happens if the game is actually good despite all the sperging?

I think these scenes make up for less than 1% of total game content (including the non-controversial ones), so there's a good chance they just did it for the lols. I for one highly doubt there was a cabal of goblin foot enthusiasts clamoring for their fetish to be actualized during a meeting (and if there was, that's just fucking hilarious).

Someone jizzes in your soup, may well be less than 1%, how much jizz do you take? Anyway it's a dumb discussion.

 

[Just Some Other Guy]

Then don't make paragraphs making it sound like this game is downfall of the West material like a nigger.

Some of y'all really OD on the "muh degeneracy" shit.

Except the game doesn't force you into these scenarios, now does it? Cum in your soup on the other hand... you'd be forced to ingest it.

"Nonono, by having that bear scene they're literally forcing me to accept it. It's like they're raping my mind with a bear!"

 

[PaladinBoo]

Sooo... Is the game any good? I'm a little concern given the amount of trannies and drag queens that have cameos in this game and are being promoted to attract the Zoom Zoom audience. Do you guys recommend or give it a pass?

In general you should wait, writing a note for yourself on the December section of your calendar and then literally forgetting about it might be a good option.
