i'm still getting baldur’s gate 3 just probably once it’s in a sale

Steal it

[–] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I could, but:

  • achievements
  • not having to worry about backing up + restoring saves
  • increasing my games counter and watching the playtime go up

🥺🥺🥺

you forgot one: updates

this game is going to have a ton of updates and sometimes that's a pain in the ass to deal with when pirating

[–] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

are the updates going to add new content into the game? ~~instead of just being bugfixes~~

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they're adding in a way to change how your character looks, like a magic mirror or something, maybe more shit (here's hoping for the rest of the classes/spells/races from 5e!!). But as of right now, mostly bugfixes, and when a game is 100+gb there's gonna be a few bugs.

One of the bugs might be why Minthara is missing so much content compared to the rest. Or it was cut. If it it was cut for time I could easily see them finishing it for the anniversary update.

try to not spoil me with too much as i just got to act 2 (60 hours played btw). but i have read things about people saying the later chapters seem bare in comparison to the earlier content.

I’m 80 hours in and just got to where a familiar face shows up in act 2.

A lot of people on the subreddit are complaining about Minthara basically having no dialogue during long rests and those are the top two hypotheses as to why.

I think there’s less long rest dialogue if you long rest a lot in act 1 since there’s a finite amount of it to spread around (basically the camp dialogue equivalent of rushing through as a byproduct of using that mechanic as the “flow regulator”).

I’ve also heard Halsin isn’t as fleshed out (figuratively only ofc) outside the romance since he was added as a companion late in early access due to fan horniness lathing it into existence. This follows, havnt heard a peep from him since the camp party.

spoilerHe has a short quest chain in act 2 and some dialogue about the events that caused the shadow curse. I can't recall if he does anything in act 3.

That makes sense. Most of the complaints were probably people who didn’t know about the way follower vs companion worked.

i think there is definitely some issue with Timing. i've read that earlier dev posts (from Act 1 EA era) that said things like romances would be complicated/take time to get to. meanwhile Gale wants to get down immediately after a day or two (not hating just kinda wild how practicing magic went sweat ). maybe bareback fucking isn't "romance" or maybe it is? if i compare it to idk like mass effect, those relationships took a lot of time to get anywhere near awooga territory (and those games didn't have a penis slider).

edit: tho the game in general is just super horny so idk

yeah, I think Karlach might be the only one thats true for, but I'm not running a full party.

Gale

the magic lesson, that's one smooth wizard. Given who he learned from though, it follows.

I would not be shocked-pikachu to find out most of the freeze-gamers mad about the inclusivity of it were caught of guard by the magic lesson dialogue and got angry about the option being there.

mass effect

I liked those games, but so many RPGs treat sex as the reward for completing a companion questline. It is a nice change of pace and there is some variety in speeds (every speedrun is going to be the same character). The variety is nice, but the horniness overton window might benefit from our volcel police opening a Belgian office.

Its true. Act 3 is like oh boy, something else regarding bugs.
