Baldurs Gate 3 - Official Discussion Thread (2019)

Alright nerds, I'm trying your silly game. But this better not be a repeat of Witcher 3.

I'm still on Act 2 maybe my next vacation in early January Act 1 took me like 33 hours.
 
If you can get past the jumping jank and constant dice-rolls, it's entertaining.
 
I just clocked like 230 hours. Im on my second playthrough... honor mode with the dark urge this time.

Only thing I really notice this time is that my main is a wizard, so I find myself long resting much more often. My first playthrough I had a barbarian, rogue, and a fighter as the main damage dealers, with a cleric as a healer. I got through massive chunks of the game without needing to long rest.

You have a party of characters that are following you around. Their AI gets totally baffled by any area that requires them to jump up or over something. It might be a ravine, a slightly higher terrain, a pit, etc.
You'll be playing normally and the next thing you know you have 2 random party members stuck 300 yards back because the game couldn't make them jump over an obstacle. Sometimes they get full-on stuck.
It gets really, really old.

I have 230 hours in and I can probably count on one hand how many times this happened where it was an "ugh" moment.
 
Does anyone know whether I need two full copies to play on two separate computers in my house?

Was hoping there might be a friend pass or something like It Takes Two lol.
 
This guy added me on Steam he's like the biggest BG 3 fan has a few thousand hours in the game. I just asked him what Act he likes Best since I didn't even Start Act 2.

I hope Larian makes something better next time around.
 
One of these days I might have to give it another go with all of the recent updates. I remember loving some elements of it, but hating others. Hopefully they eventually fixed the gap jumping AI and the awful inventory system when using a pad.
 
Just got a bunch of Random cards from Larian I never get drops from Steam maybe once every three months I'm level 60. Maybe .80 cents worth of cards...

There's vendors in Act 1 as well? At least a druid and a goblin.

It never even crossed my mind once that there was a lack of vendors. I sent everything I wanted to sell to camp and then would fast travel to a vendor whenever I felt like selling stuff.
 
I plan to wait a bit till the final patch is stable and give the game another run. The subclasses are nice but not overly exciting to me.

What I don't understand is how such a successful property can get no DLCs and no sequel. I'd want to know more of the discussion, if there was any, between Larian and WotC.

Was Larian just done with the project, and no desire to make more money on it, or was there more to it?

To me, BG 1 and 2 are near or at the top of my all time gaming list, but BG3 was excellent, if not quite on the same level for me.

This seems the opposite of milking the money cow, more like cutting up the money cow and feeding to stray dogs.

I have no confidence that WotC would ever pick anyone equal or better than Larian for further games in the Forgotten Realms.
