Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Story Will Continue in New HBO TV Show

@Athrum Yee, i would even extend it to people not playing any proper RPG with actually good writing. Its not necesseraly derogative term i think, at least not for me.

Imagine if youre a football fan for example and you took me to the worst game in history, I, not even knowing any rules, nor watched any good plays would be entertained just because the ball is moving.

Another good example is the Fallout show, completely crapping on the legacy and story of the old games, but “normies” are entertained just because they show a power armor or a nuka cola.

The BG3 characters are all pretry badly written, albeit covered by stellar voice acting, with exception of maybe Astarion and Laezel(both still subpar tho). All with their millenial jokes and jargon absolutely kill any sense of immersion.
It all comes out in act3 where, for some reason, the devs really had to tie it to the old BG games with the dead three making the villains flat as all hell and introducing several plot holes.

I agree with you on Divinity tho, while also pretty subpar writing, it has some interrsting characters and definetly held by combat that is actually optimized for a game instead of tabletop dnd.

@RBMango What are you talking about? The writing was absolutely horrible. Cringey with ton of plotholes.

What “made it tick” is that its somewhat faithful representation of the stupidity that is 5th gen. So normies were all over it.

DEFINETLY not the writing lol.

@graymamba Well im running into the same problem as you, if i wrote the word i want to id be banned

Altho dismissing my comments and hiding behind personal insults fits the definition of toxic flawlessly.

Oh…. for those challenged in the wits department … in my opinion!

Have a nice rest of the evening!

@graymamba
Ofcourse people can prefer other things. Also people prefering exclusives on their platform(what some peiple would call fanboism) isnt necessarily bad thing, nobody said that.

Youre doing the same thing, no need to attack my opinion just because i think Yotei was extremely underwhelming. I dont see where i implied that im an arbiter of anything, what a toxic thing to say. Im just expressing my opinion in an internet forum. Isnt that the point of it?

@Ricksta It gets actually a bit too easy after the opening hours. After you get some perks the “survival” elements become non issue and after you train sword fighting with the gypsy sword master, even full plate armored knight isnt a challenge anymore.

It did take me multiple reloads to defeat even a single bandit in the begining tho, its not just you, henry is super weak by design xD

Definetly looking forward to trying the hardcore mode for the second playthrough.

@Chip-Douglas I cant say i agree with the fine, but employers fire people for racial slurs all the time, even those posted on social media. As they should!

The freedom of speech law isnt even about protecting racists, dont think that anyone would want that. Its just thst its too easy to file anything you dont like under “hatespeech” and silence it.

Id personally rather risk offfending someone than silencing someome for jsut expressiong their opinion.

@SeaDaVie Opening an investigation is opening an investigation, its not “having someone arrested”. Thats not semantics, thats facts.

What do you mean the trump administration threatens to sue people? You talking abkut BBC? That was over fabricating video to fit their agenda, not over speech.

Wealthy demanding reparations for speech? Where did you get that? Do you have an evodence of someone actually arrested for speech in the US? The law applies the same to everyone.
