You don't need anymore more to show how AI is going to do great things than useless eaters like Zoe seeing it as a threat (while arguing for remote work which was so shit almost no one uses it anymore).
"Useless eater" is the most perfect way I've ever heard Zoe Quinn referred. I may never be able to think of her as anything else. And, yes, watching the histrionics over AI has been boggling. It's the new rock and roll and a fair amount of people I previously respected (kind of want to start a new paragraph just so I don't have "Zoe Quinn" anywhere near that statement) are the new hysterical Puritan parents pointing fingers and screeching like Donald Sutherland in an alien invasion.
 
Holy shit I watched the trailer, are christcucks really this thin skinned snowflakes?

Dung Age peasants do vile dung ages things like a victorian wet dream. Eating like pigs, eating with pigs, barfing on the pigs...

Than an old man is being burned alive, clearly in agony and not even resisting, just screaming.

Suddenly you see an orgy.

The old man triggers something. Maybe he was tainted and should have been beheaded on the spot, it is clearly his pain funneling the thing. Or maybe the torture inflicted on him summons the thing into him, because he had the magic sauce from the earlier games and he was persecuted. Or maybe it was the ritual working a bit too well and going beyond expectations for the village who wanted only a bit of demon and not wholesale slaughter overfiend tornado.....

More orgy, more pigbarfing.

The evil burst forth from the old man and kills them all, making a statue out of them.

This is just edgy shock humor, I don't think you are supposed to root for the crowd. In fact they make most middle ages crowds look relatively well behaved, maybe they are making fun of uneducated dumb people.

Hell I could go as far as to say that shadowy groups are making peasants do demonic rites and setting it all up from the shadows, you and your wholesome chungus/hardened mercenary/knightly order has to find them and take it out by the root. Or it is just a dig at dumb peasants.

I don't think people killed the party, it was likely whatever they unknowingly summoned.

Play stupid games, win demonic prizes. Hard to tell if its woke or unwoke yet, calm all yer tits.

Well yeah, but you see that's a metaphor for white people being dumb and uneducated and that's super not based or redpilled. Also, the crowd is too diverse, it should only be white straight people doing the fucking, murdering and debauchery, because that's super based and redpilled too!

Nobody is arguing that AI isn't useful, the argument before was how to best utilize AI in a creative way and neither you nor tweedledum, whoever it was, could argue their points properly. That's because it is impossible to replace proper artists and traditional ways to do visual and art design for a creative genre like an RPG and just replace it with AI slop because "it saves time" on paper. That's fucking retarded, that's literally the "line always must go up" thinking the suits at the top have. For example, Ubisoft give us nothing but open world games because these make the line go up, or endless yearly COD games from Activision with each having worse and worse skill based matchmaking elements everyone hates until the oldschool casual COD experience is pretty much dead, all because the line must go up and our patented, psychologist researched algorithm says the line will go up if we include it in every single one of our games. Also, if we include Beavis and Butthead and Teenage Ninja Turtle bundles for $30 dollars a pop then the line will also go up even more, except neither Ubisoft open world games or yearly COD titles with AI slop and heavy SBMM/EOMM work outside of paper because they are both soulless(in part thanks to AI) and because they suck, line can go up but player engagement will go down. Likewise, some people might buy the cartoon bundles in COD, but most will just be turned off and treat the game as a joke, killing retention even more, which blatant AI art and assets will do for you game as well.

In case I used too many words or ones with too many syllables for you, let me break it down further: More AI means bigger drop in quality of content exponentially, which is detrimental especially for a big RPG game you will invest ideally at least 50 hours into, one which is heavy in writing, characters and countless assets you need to create. You might "save time" but that will amount to cutting corners, most studios don't actually use that time to improve on the AI created assets or add new assets made from scratch because the more they depend on AI, the lazier it makes them. This only works on paper, just like giving people yearly COD releases or turning every single one of your franchises into an open world sandbox or ruining the visual style of your game to sell stupid skins only works on paper. This doesn't change because the human equivalent of a used up, rotting cumdumpster that is Zoe Quinn opposes AI all of a sudden, as neither she nor most people arguing this point have any experience with how a game is made, or ever worked on one to begin with(I'm not going to count anything this whore made as a game).

Or, in layman's terms, Larian heavily depending on AI and being proud of that fact means that they let the success of Baldur's Gate 3 get to their heads, and think they can shit out quite literally anything, using the cheapest methods possible, and it will sell too on nothing but brand recognition. If that's not the case, then it might as well be because that's how their statement made them sound like. We will know for sure once the first paid demo is out.
 
Dude you are the one constantly bitching about muh artistry in fucking video games. Your entire point hinges on buzzwords and some sort of slippery slope when gaming is nowadays entirely shit even before the exclusion of AI.

In the end it just makes things go faster, since you can generate things fast to check if they work before needing to commission someone to waste weeks preparing the assets. Heck, you can give the AI to the artist as a blueprint for what you want, something that is always a pain in the arse with other people. This alone shaves off months in work time, and that's before the argument of how much the AI can do well with just the correct inputs.

But you'll just answer this by writing the word slop a billion times like a broken chatbot.

I'm just going to assume you made a chatbot write this, might as well since it's not a proper response and it would be quicker than just typing all that shit manually. Anyways, you haven't disproved anything I said, you're just repeating the same old "but it will make the line go up because xyz!" argument without thinking of any other factors I mentioned. You're wrong, and if you want to have a slapfight about it, take it to another thread. This is veering in the off-topic territory and I'm still right, anyways.
 
Artists can be replaced easily. Modern artists believe all art is political. Absolute retards.

Using AI for concept work is faster and cheaper. The entire anti-ai argument is "what about my pay cheque". Either adapt or be poor.

Simple. Average people don't care. They will never care. And they are people with money and will use it however they see fit. Those that care are struggling artists who don't want to stock shelves cause they're not good for anything else.

Looks like Larian is about to lose all their goodwill. Sorry, Larian, should have thought twice about who you're pandering to.

>former employee
>"fascists" (Tim Pool watcher)
>sexual assaulter is now at CDPR, not Larian
>"Didn't report it" ???????? (Tranny, likely only occurred in his deviant fantasies)

Damn, all of a sudden, I've got hope for Divinity. This is the best PR move Larian could've got lmao.

at least he got pink'd.

hey, they knew the risks once they started pandering to the mentally ill, sit back, get your beers and watch the trainwreck of lunacy unfold :tomgirl:
beep boop motherfuckers.
 
You're retarded and he's right, your replies reek like that of an emotional redditor and you always respond how much posts "hurt your feelings" as if anybody cares.
Nigger. NIGGER. This is the most "talking to a mirror" post I've ever seen! Makes me wonder if you've ever read your own posts.
He's playing with you, and you deserve it, figures you're stupid enough to fall for bait like this.
Yeah the guy writing posts about how I'm wrong for daring to not use certain media within certain time frames is playing me, good job. Go back to Outer Worlds 2.
>Threadbanned
You know this guy's such a muppet that of all the sperging I and other users here did, he gets booted. Wished this was the case in more threads, even if I end up agreeing with a great many of his posts. Once again someone who I'd enjoy reading from ruins their posts with unrelenting autism and ends up making me agree with posts I normally wouldn't.
Did you intentionally miss the point?
Many of his posts seem to confirm this.

He finally got it huh? I was hoping he'd get that pink triangle at one point. He's insufferable.
 
Funny how you could get gay married in Fable 1 and Skyrim have gay sex in Mass Effect and virtually nobody cries about those games being woke. Nobody made you fuck that bear in BG3 - you made that choice and now you have to live with it.
Really? I've seen a few people complain about that, but it's unsurprising that you'd barely hear that at the time of these games being released since-and to change up the wording since using "woke" all the time is tiring-the amount of far-left, degenerate propaganda at the time was nowhere near what it is today. To me at least.
Again, nobody made you fuck that bear.
What confuses (but sadly doesn't shock) me is why that would even be a thing? People wanting to touch tips with Halsin and right before they actually commit to it he turns into a bear. Of course he apologies and you can not choose to technically commit bestiality but...fuckin' hell.

I thought he got one well beforehand?
It's not the cutscene I would have chosen but it's a Forgotten Realms DnD vidya trying to show you that you can basically do whatever you want.
Funny how of all the things they chose to show you "you can do whatever you want" (which is only really true for the tabletop, and even then) is showcasing bear sex.

I achieved my goal. @30+GameOvers got baited into sperging and was banned, and you're still coping over a clearly antagonistic comment. Read whatever you want dude. It genuinely doesn't matter and if you enjoy LotR (maybe a bit too much), all the power to you.

Thread tax: Larian is building a new engine for Divinity. Interesting excerpt from the article saying that Act 3 sucks because the engine sucks even more [L | A]:
"With [Baldur's Gate 3], when we saw something wasn't working, it took us a long time to be able to react to it," he explained. "Now we're building a new engine that allows us to be more flexible in how we put our rulesets together. We'll be able to do things faster; when we see something's not working, we'll be able to change things... hopefully, let's find out?"

Vincke points to Baldur's Gate 3's third act, which really strained the engine and forced the team to make unwanted compromises to ensure the game functioned correctly.

"We need to do different things, and new things! Some of these things weren't possible in the previous one. For instance, with BG3, the city was split into two parts, that was because we didn't have streaming in it and couldn't fit it into memory. So there's a bunch of constraints - and a lot of smoke and mirrors - in BG3, and thank god it worked, but there's so many things we could do better with some better tech, and so that tech is now coming into place."

quick, someone remind them to avoid bringing retarded shit like the shield mechanic that some people found to be a pain in the ass in DOS2 because it made enemies immune to status effects.

Search engines are so absurdly awful these days that I can't re-find the source of this, but I distinctly recall Swen personally admitting that he has regrets of the system in DOS 2.

Literally nobody said a word when Fable or Skyrim came out. Libtards weren’t at their absolute height but hyper sensitive, virtue-signaling internet Christian’s weren’t calling everything they saw woke either.
 
I might just be an edgy faggot, but this looks like dark fantasy kino. The final product will probably be disappointing, but killing gross monsters and death cults is fun. I'm cautiously optimistic for another cprg that is great until the last 40% of the game.
 
I don't get why people are shitting and pissing themselves over the "oh my god the mom let their kid watch an execution" when it is partially based on real life executions sometimes being big events where people would sit around and have a picnic next to criminals being hanged.

That said, I have enjoyed OS2 and BG3 so am excited for this. Curious what will they do gameplay/systems wise since if I recall, larian devs felt frustrated at being constrained by the D&D 5e ruleset during BG3 development.
