Playing a bard can get pretty close 🤔
I’m deep into act 3 now and this game does not pull punches. I’m loving it (even if it hurts sometimes)
No 12-20 please, 5e is not balanced for that. I’d rather have a new adventure built on the same assets / engine, a majoras mask approach even.
Just me or the version number is still there?
You don’t seem to understand the comment. Shove is not nerfed, it’s overpowered. As a result the sleep spell is further nerfed (they already nerfed it by making it have a short duration) because enemies can just bonus action wake each other up, instead of being out of commission for multiple turns.
I’m sure it’ll address at least a couple of the issues I’m having. But considering how broken other games release and you basically need to wait weeks (or years if it’s cyberpunk) to get it in a playable state? This game is polished as fuck.
Really enjoying finally having the full game but some small things have been slightly annoying:
- they apparently forgot to disable the debug version label so there’s a massive version string floating around most of the time
- I’m getting bad screen tearing even on tripple buffering.
- can’t believe shove is still a bonus action. Sleep was already pretty nerfed, with shove as a bonus action it’s almost as useless as true strike.
- some of the cutscene transitions are a bit janky here and there but nothing completely broken. Just an annoyance. Sometimes that means audio cuts halfway through sometimes that means the audio plays when the cutscene is still loading. Nothing game breaking so far.
- some spells don’t seem to work consistently or correctly? Spiritual weapon will sometimes lose a turn. Complete skipped.
On the other hand, mage hand (hehe) finally interacts with buttons. But why can it attack and shove? And why limited per short rest?
Weird decisions I think. Sure 5e is pretty bad with balance and inconsistent rules and the game would’ve benefited from a better designed system like pathfinder 2e but some of these decisions don’t seem to improve on the issues just worsen them.
Rant aside: what an amazing game 🥰🥰
For the inpatient and the people who enjoy watching more than playing.
I Imagine gog might be doing a bit better there. I’m getting close to 28mb/s. 👌🏼🤞🏼
That’s it folks. About four years waiting comes to an end. Enjoy 😊
Same. Waiting for it to arrive this week. Weak.
With difficulty settings I think the karmic dice is kind of superfluous (assuming they fixed the maths for release).
No worries. My own fault for not following the guide :)
Someone get Chris Finney (voice of Ifan / DOS2) on the phone!
A combat improvement patch would be nice but I’m okay with having a combat system that’s not 100% to my taste rather than delay the game further.
Mods on Linux should work just as well as on Mac and windows. Larian does a really good job there. I imagine it’ll be pretty close to how it is on dos2, just drop the pak files inside a mods folder and they show up in the mods menu where you can toggle and reorder. On EA it’s petty much that minus the UI, so you have to edit the xml file by hand or use the mod manager (windows). Understandable considering it’s EA.
I have but their other games were on their own system. Bg3 is supposedly on 5e, a system that has already plenty of balancing issues without homebrew. Things like bonus action shove makes the sleep spell a waste, on top of being absurdly over powered that you can just shove a boss down a cliff line it’s made of paper.
All in all probably a small issue that shouldn’t detract too much from what looks like an amazing game with a ton of role play freedom but I for one am looking forward to combat mods. They got some of that on early access and it made a big difference.
