Divinity 3 - The man with the most friends is the man with many cheeses!

[Waifuwars]

If they're making their workflows more efficient then the final act better not be an incomplete mess like their previous games (rate me ). It's sad seeing how rushed the last acts are in comparison to the super polished first acts. Here's to hoping that they'll incorporate the better parts of the 5E ruleset into DO3.

 

[Logoden]

Apparently working on a more loreful and defined setting was something relatively new for Larian during BG3 development :

“We learned from BG3 the importance of having a ruleset, allure, and a world solidified behind you,” says Vincke. “It was quite a lot of work actually. [Now] we know what the days of the week are. We know what people eat in the evening. We know the way they dress. All these things needed to be sorted out. So as progress grew, we started saying, ‘Okay, well this is a really good cornerstone for everything that we've built. And there's never been a real Divinity, so let's just call it Divinity. People will henceforth refer to it as the Divinity Universe quickly and like it.’”

Finaly they might get a little more rigorous with the lore of Rivellon.

My bad if late.

hyper sensitive, virtue-signaling internet Christian’s weren’t calling everything they saw woke either.

Yep kinda funny seeing BASED tradbros go full pearl clutching mode over vidya.

"X is forced!"

No

"Why is X even a choice?!"

Imagine having *gasp* choice of action in an RPG! But apparently games should only be made so you cannot stray from the path. Next we'll be complaining that video games let you kill children or other civilians...

Played BG3. Didn't have sex with a bear. Didn't get raped by party members. Didn't get cucked. It's almost like....you have to choose for that shit to happen.

I wish I could find that low effort MSPaint comic where it shows the dialogue tree

>Would you like to have gay sex?
Yes
>Are you SURE you want to have gay sex?
Yes
*You are now having gay sex*

Then it cuts to a neckbeard screeching that the game is woke.

 

[Anubis]

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.

The Making of Divinity: Original Sin 2 [40:00: Armor]

This still isn't the source I'm thinking of, but it basically touches the same points on why it was bad and shows that they understand that it was a bad system.

Considering most people never finish games, it's annoying but at least understandable. The first hour(s) will sell more games.

Sven put AI-generated gay bear sex into his vidya to spite me, the Last White Man, personally. You cannot convince me that this is anything but an outright attack again heterosexuality and gaming as a whole. Literally annudah Gamergate and gay Henry was an attack again our civilization's Judeo-Christian values as well.

Welcome to the video games cause school shooters , the Bollywood remake brought by JD Vancelami Saar, it was a long rodeo and I was a kid, but I remember it being very cringe and retarded. Lets hope it won't make everyone thing the whole right is retarded... again.

We all felt how the backlash to fundies lead to trannyism. The swinging pendulum can't hit you when it swings back if you don't pull it back with full retard strength.

One of the most retarded things about the modern online right is that everyone LARPs as a tradcath monk who never has sex, or looks at porn, or drinks, or smokes, or parties and just meditates while drinking distilled water and reading John Lock all day.

It's all extremely cringe, silly, and pretentious.

See I wish this was the consensus on socials when the game came out. I saw too much of sexy sex that I didn't want to play. Asked plenty if it happens a lot, people I listened to said yasss queen.

When the kcd2 gayness came out, it was quickly explained that you'd have to go out of your way to suck gay dick.

Maybe I'll give the free gog version another try after this holiday season.

Sincerely thank you.

It's worse than bible thumpers, since those at least were married adults that were somewhat religious. Most modern online right are unmarried, consume copious amount of porn and would probably burst into flames on even approaching a church.

Nobody actually fucking lives like that, especially not zoomers and millennials, it's a fucking LARP and a really obnoxious one at that.

 

[Stone Enjoyer]

Really hoping that they will finally overcome the "rushed last act / ending" curse they have been suffering from on DOS/BG3. Its not necessarily good to just "have more content than BG3" if it isnt spread out appropriately

 

[Deus Exica]

but this looks like dark fantasy kino.

I think the trailer was a bit gratuitous but I'd be pleased if the next Divinity was a bit darker in tone. Divinity 2 is a bit too whimsical for my tastes.

don't get why people are shitting and pissing themselves

I think it is probably more the blood orgy that makes this very unpleasant.

Real "I'll believe it when I see it" moment. The problem with the endings and the third act and such is that you need to get through all the other parts of the game first, so any problems are not immediately obvious until 100 hours into the game.

 

[Logoden]

Larian went out-of-their-way to add that kind of stuff on top of all the cringe writting. Not fixing or perfecting a shitload of ingame elements, not adding a dungeon maker like Solasta or the (good)Neverwinter games, not adding less "OC" companions, etc.

No, they added options for zoophiles and bestiality enthusiasts and marketed it even.

I get it, some chuds are annoying and retarded as hell and you owned them, you truely did, but you still rewarded the worse degeneracy from the worst part of the furry communities. That's how the chuds see you :

BG3 final act was not nearly as bad as DOS's. The city had a ton of shit to do in but the issue is that you get max level pretty fast and then there's not a lot of point in doing most of the stuff there. Weirdly the level cap was there entirely because of Karlach.

While I still think it's retarded to have that in the first place, this reminds me of a 4chan post where someone made the most ugly mystery meat character and went "THIS GAME FORCED ME TO HAVE THIS MYSTERY MEAT CHARACTER AS MY SOUL MATE" or some shit, despite the fact that you'd have to create that mystery meat character for it to exist in the first place. Even I can admit some people just want to get outraged when there's no reason to or they do it to themselves.
Still, like @Logoden said it's a degenerate option and marketing tactic, would be """better""" if there was an actual consequence for being this much of a degenerate, like social ostracization at least. Preferably getting mauled to death.

Next we'll be complaining that video games let you kill children or other civilians...

Killing regular civilians is shit that's been going on for years and was only really a "big deal" in the early video game era. You'll still see people getting upset of course but those pale in comparison to the outrage of early GTA for example. Killing children in games is a different conversation, one that was had in the Fallout thread I believe. Again, there should be consequences to being an absolute monster, whether it's technical zoophilia or actively killing children.

When the kcd2 gayness came out, it was quickly explained that you'd have to go out of your way to suck gay dick.

That's also a different case I'd say, but that has already been said a hundred times in the dedicated thread.

I'm also pretty sure they wanted to avoid the DOS2 problem where you have this weird level range (17-21) entering Arx depending on how autistic you were at finishing side quests. If you were underlevelled (17-1 when going to Arx you're going to have a bad time for the first few fights until your levels caught up, due to the obscene scaling of levels there.
