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

[TVB]

Like clockwork.

Yep. It's like the old saying goes, it's like poetry. It rhymes

I think everyone in the game is bisexual, they all come on really strong which is very annoying. And then the zombie/skellington man even scolds you when you don't want to have sex with your colleagues, smh. "I noticed you are very LONELY and don't take any lovers?!" woah none of your business you dusty old fuck!

Yeah, I got the same speech. I was just there to ruthlessly massacre heathens, heretics, journos, and especially that circus troon in act III as a vengeance paladin. Then the game had the audacity to label me an “Oath Breaker” when I smote the first devil men I came across in act I.

Even the eldritch tentacle abomination (the emperor) wanted my D. He also sounded like he wanted to cry when I turned him down.

worst character/aspect of the game, he's clearly malicious but you can't really do anything about it. Should have been able to ice him and ally with orpheuses honour guard at the start of act 3 imo

Agree. I also ended up siding with Orpheus and essentially took the emperor’s place since I volunteered to become a tentacle monster. I don’t see anything wrong with being able to make that decision sooner.

Omg the fucking tentacle monster hitting on you was too much when I designed that guy at the start of the game to be my "companion" I actually thought he would be in your party and along on your travels so I chose his race and shit to be something that compliments mine and then he only ever shows up in cut scenes and then turns into an ugly tentacle monster....

Same here. My “guardian” was a woman, which made his sexual advances even more creepy. Like he was obviously trying to catfish me.

It’s just a prank bro

I finally beat the game, if only because Durge is more fun to play than Tav. My thoughts now that I actually beat it:

I accidentally killed Gale in my first encounter with him, but I fucking hated him in my furst playthrough so I actually didn't mind this at all.

Tried and failed to romance Karlach. Considering she either turns into a soulless mindflayer husk (which she did in my playthrough) or explodes I consider this a bullet dodged.

Didn't bother with Astarion's quest this time around and never finished it the first time. Personally, I've always hated standard vampire stuff. My favorite vampires are the weird ones, like the mosquito human hybrids from Darkest Dungeon.

I don't get the shadowheart hype. She never leaves my team because she's a cleric but I really don't get the appeal of her character.

I liked Wyll but you'd think the son of the grand duke or whatever would be at least somewhat more important. I negotiated him out of his contract and then we went to get the dragon but he just kinda attacked us. And like, I think there was like, implications that the dragon and Baldur/The Emperor were gay for eachother??? I don't know, some characters in this game just ooze homosexuality.

Honestly any other character I just didn't use so I can't really speak on them.

Durge's story was pretty good though. I played a redemption arc Durge but I like to imagine he still REALLY enjoys killing but can only have little a murder, as a snack.

I rolled a nat 20 to subjugate the brain and that was pretty funny because I rolled a nat 1 to save shadowheart in the beginning section. A funny little bookend to my luck.

I enjoyed the story I guess? I hated pretty much all of the characters in it, and frankly everyone involved deserved to die except Wyll, Halsin, and Karlach but at least we stopped the bad guy.

Also Withers was a total bro. I'd trust him with my life, even if he hit Durge with the "no bitches?" when I tried to revive Shadowheart. The second he said mind flayers are undoubtedly soulless abominations I knew Durge had to betray the emperor before he betrayed Durge

They're "player" sexual. Meaning it doesn't matter if you make a character male or female or as ugly as sin because every companion has the capacity to fall in love with you.

Yup that’s writing by a woman.

I miss when characters had a set sexuality like in Dragon Age Origins or Wrath of the Righteous. But yeah, the romances are definitely the weakest aspects of this game. Am really hoping that Larian fixes them down the line as it is really irritating that every companion wants to get in my pants.

They did mention patching the game so that the romance would be less direct and upfront. I don’t know how they’ll do it but maybe just a simple box window saying “THIS NPC WANTS TO BED YOU, DO YOU ACCEPT?”. The Shadowheart romance was subtle with that gesture of just going out into the woods for a drink instead of Gale showing off his wand.

Even BG2, some characters could only be romanced if your character was a specific sex and race. Viconia, for instance, seems to dislike elves, dwarves, and gnomes.

This proves that she’s a filthy race-mixer for not procreating with another knife-ear and that she’ll take a pig elf (half-orc) over a manlet. Fucking based.

>halfling

or maybe it's for the /ss/ demographic

If a human and a halfling get together is that a half-halfling or a quarterling?

BG2 was also interesting in that some companions would romance each other if you kept them in the party. Not everything had to revolve around the main PC

Worse all those races have a fraction of the lifespan of elves.
Elves live ~700 years, Half-Elves/Dwarves ~150, Humans/Orcs even less. Halsin is well over twice the age of Jaheria but looks far younger.

Part of why the elf Ketheric disapproved of immortal Aylin shacking up with his daughter was that he had already went through the pain of seeing his human wife grow old while he stayed the same.

If your height starts with a 5 3' you are just a friend.

So basically being a human spouse is like a spring break fling for an elf. Good to know.

I wonder what the incel and femcel groupings of Faerûn would be like. Obviously if they lack the mastery of the weave they cannot be wizards.

I am so glad ME3 had Garrus getting his mandible entangled with Tali's helmet. Don't know why they were so ashamed of it all considering I was banging an asari crewmember who by her race's standards was barely legal at around 100.
