Administrator AquilaTempestas Posted August 8 Administrator Report Share Posted August 8 This game is already out on PC and is due to be released on PS5 in September this year. XboX has to wait longer though because of their parity rule across all their consoles. Anyways - this was developed by Larian Studios who did Divinity 2 and other games, so my hopes are high. The first two BG games were developed by BioWare and followed the whole D&D rules and I am assuming this does as well. As a big fan of the early BioWare days and Divinity 2, my hopes are very high for this and I know I'm going to play as a warlock, sorcerer or a ranger. @VectorLogic @OfficerDonNZ Quote Link to comment
Dementor Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Started it yesterday. Haven't played previous BG (or any D&D) games before, only used to begin Neverwinter Nights 2 years ago but dropped it soon, don't remember already why. Here's my Seldarine (Eilistraeean) Drow Bard Relontar Helvimtor. The one from my RL/online D&D campaign. The game feels great so far. Runs just perfectly on my PC (Ryzen 7 3700X / GeForce RTX 3050). And yes, all D&D rules are followed. The only thing that confused me is long rest - it teleports you and your party to the camp. I stayed up until 2 AM playing it yesterday, and looking forward to continue this evening! AquilaTempestas 1 Quote Link to comment
Administrator AquilaTempestas Posted August 9 Author Administrator Report Share Posted August 9 Ahhh I'm jealous! Can't wait! This is what I have in mind. Will post pictures when the game is released for us PS5 folks. FEMALE PLAYTHROUGH - Melisandre Targaryen Drow or Normal Elf Sorcerer or Warlock Noble Will be mostly a good character - probably something like chaotic good MALE PLAYTHROUGH - Sebastian Blackthorn Human Fighter or Ranger Criminal Will most likely be an asshole Dementor 1 Quote Link to comment

Perks of being the PC player Also mad respect to the devs/publishers for making this game available for purchase in Russia, as well as full translation (well, besides audio, but it doesn't matter much). I'm thinking of doing a female playthrough later too. Most likely it'll be my other Drow character, Vhaeraunite Ranger Maytana Hun'neld. Like her deity, she's Chaotic Neutral, with a bit of asshole personality, so it's gonna be interesting. Quote Link to comment
Dementor Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Some more screenshots. My party, prior to freeing Lae'zel. And when we met Lae'zel. SQUIRREL! Close-up of Relontar. Trying to sleep in the camp during long rest... This game is awesome. Can't wait to continue this evening! AquilaTempestas 1 Quote Link to comment
Administrator AquilaTempestas Posted August 12 Author Administrator Report Share Posted August 12 I gotta say, I’m surprised with how much sex there is in this game lol. I’m especially surprised with how far they’re willing to go - is the same studio who did Divinity 2? They’ve come a long way. Spoiler The bear scene hahaha I know it’s supposed to be reflective of how crazy DND campaigns can get, but was not expecting actual bear and MC sex. Quote Link to comment
Dementor Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 Oh yeah, the bear became viral XD Haven't reach that point yet. Quote Link to comment
Lady Mechanika Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 I'm waiting for this on ps5. Really looking forward to it. I haven't played any of the previous entires but have played Dnd quite a bit. Laezel and Shadowheart look very bae. Dementor 1 Quote Link to comment

I think I've met that bear at this point already (it's a Druid actually), but nothing has happened between us, haha Quote Link to comment
Lady Mechanika Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 That's Halsin, a potential companion. Who you can do the deed with while he's in wild shape. Quote Link to comment

OfficerDonNZ Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 I haven't bought BG3 Aquila and have no plans to. The game does nothing for me. That and I never could get into the Divinity games. Dementor 1 Quote Link to comment

But it goes well enough for me. I've explored Underdark, found a cool Eilistraeean singing sword, just perfect for my character, defeated goblins and duergars... Now going to look for githyanki camp. And I guess I'll be ready to move on to Act 2 then. Oh, and still didn't have a single romance scene! Karlach keeps telling me she "too hot" and that I need more infernal iron, Lae'zel only gives promises, and Shadowheart keeps her distance as well Well, Gale and Halsin (aka that very bear) gave some hints, but Relontar is straight You'll have to wait for your time when I'll be replaying as a female character, guys Quote Link to comment
Administrator AquilaTempestas Posted August 29 Author Administrator Report Share Posted August 29 I can't choose between Gale and Astarion : ( Game coming on PS5 woo. Not too long now especially with early access! Oh man, was watching some clips again and I can't stop laughing. I love how crazy it is. Reminds me of the wild mods of Neverwinter Nights (BioWare).

Hide contents Haha Yesterday I had to politely reject Gale but then Karlach made the following night hot in all meanings By the way, first romance/sex scene ever for me, and I'm in the middle of Act 2 already. Who said there's too much of it in this game, huh? Quote Link to comment

Who said there's too much of it in this game, huh? Reject Gale? Gasp! Right now I'm leaning more into Astarion and I think he'd get on fine with my ranger girl. Okay. I've decided my characters! Female Playthrough Melisandre Targaryen Elf (Wood Elf) though still might opt for a Drow - need to see what they look like in game Ranger (Sub-class Gloomstalker) Outlander Male Playthrough Sebastian Blackthorn Tiefling (Mephistopheles Tiefling) Paladin (Sub-class Oathbreaker) Soldier Quote Link to comment

Administrator AquilaTempestas Posted August 31 Author Administrator Report Share Posted August 31 I'm trying not to spoil myself too much of the game story wise, but I've watched some of the companion stuff. More 'whoa that actually happens?' video spoilers below! Spoiler Dementor 1 Quote Link to comment
Dementor Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 I haven't seen anything of these I'm not playing the Dark Urge, and I told Astarion to fuck off after he tried to bite me in the dead of the night. Also I still haven't used Lump's horn managed to fight all battles in Act I without her help, wonder if it's gonna work in Acts 2 or 3 still... But yeah all these vids show that Baldur's Gate 3 is the game of endless possibilities. Almost like the real world. Quote Link to comment
