Please make more games that are complete, thanks. The whole game + season pass model is annoying. The in game shops are trash. I can't stand battle passes and seasons.

Fuck open up the engine so people can play d&d in it lol

Sadly Hasbro is hoping to make big bucks off the Virtual Table Top they're developing, so I don't think they'd allow that.

Yeah.

We can hope that the mod-tools that are confirmed to be in the works will be open enough that the community can develop something. But I doubt Larian will get the go-ahead to implement actual GM-tools (like in DOS2) for this game.

Every time I open the multiplayer lobby browser the field showing the adventure being played gives me a little punch of hope that there is an editor of some kind in the works

I imagine studios will be rushing to make them off the back of BG3's success. It's better if a game is made in it's own time from passion, rather than trying to cash in on a current trend/genre popularity.

Even with the time they had, you can tell that Act 3 didn't get nearly the love that Act 1 did. I imagine anything done in a rushed manor won't have the charm.

Game should have ended in Act 2, the game does start to fall apart in Act 2 but Act 3 is absolute fucking mess. A shorter more polished experience would have been preferable for sure.

Preach. The Act 2 to Act 3 transition is brutal. >!The BBEG is marching on the city. Better stop to catch a circus act and have ASMR sex with three hookers.!<

Do a Warhammer one, or a Lancer one, or literally any other TTRPG like this and I'm down. I dont even care if its partially a clone as long as the story is this deep. Shit Larian can just do another one up lets go.

Edit: could you imagine a fallout like this? Or a Vampire: Masquerade? Or maybe a Star Wars: EOTE?

40K Rogue Trader is something I’ve had a bit of hope for for a while. Something about 40K videogames never hit right though imo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Its hard to hit those thematic notes of the setting while also shoving your own story in there. If GW gave me a license I have a soulslike thats perfect for 40k's entry.

Man, I would play the crap out of a Fallout game like BG3. I'd probably play the crap out of any such game, but especially Fallout.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The first few Fallout games were top-down CRPGs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, but there a big difference between those and BG3. I've tried getting into classical CRPGs before, they don't really work for me.
