It’ll be great to actually play Drunken Master Monk instead of just being an Open Fist Monk who drank all the time.
I feel the same way, but in real life.
Not sure if this is helpful, but BG3 is on sale until tomorrow morning.
I havent been able to play yet, so I’m incredibly excited.
$48. “On sale”
It will get cheaper, probably around Christmas.
Is that not a sale? It’ll be even cheaper next Christmas too.
20% is 20%. It won’t be dirt cheap for another year or two. If you’d prefer to wait until Christmas in hopes of saving $3, more power to you.
Death Domain clerics? Fuck yeah! I can make my actual PnP Cleric now.
And all of them are fuckable
Big naturals Withers romance option when?
I just hope they add the functionality to enable all relevant mods with the push of a single button. At least on console, we literally have to enable each mod, one by one.
Oh shit I must have missed there’s mods on console now. Are there any that significantly change the game? I might jump back in if it feels different to play cos I pretty much did everything I could and even beat it on the hardest difficulty, although that took 2 playthroughs since I died on the last boss the first time round.
Hop back in then! The mods are great! I started a new DUrge campaign as Dread Overload Warlock, but there’s some more subclasses added, you can give everyone wings, they’re are weapons that improve along with your characters, cheater items if that’s your thing, the mods are a lot of fun
What are some other cool mods to check out?
mods on console
WAT?
I had the same reaction, and looked it up to learn that consoles do indeed have curated mods that can be used. The one I wanted to use the most, expanding the number of party members that can be controlled in battle, is there, so I might just have to do another playthrough…
Where do you get the mods? I have no idea how to install a mod on console.
I haven’t played it since they were added, so I’m not sure myself. Maybe this will help. If you have an Xbox maybe it’s similar?
Oh, it’s built right into the game? That’s sweet!
Edit: thank you!
The tradeoff of using a console’s walled garden as opposed to PC: less options, but simpler to use.
That’s pretty awesome! The best game I’ve ever played just keeps on giving me more stuff even though I’ve already paid them, and idk why! Thanks Larian!
because it means more people will pick up bg3 and probably buy the next thing they make as well
Man, I still haven’t had time to do my wild mage run. Granted a friend wanted in on that for the shenanigans.
Oooh maybe just inspired my next run.
But lol I should go finish the first… Took too long a break and now I’m all “wtf was I doing” when I load back in.
Do you mean sorcerer, or are you multi-classing?
Yeah, the sorcerer subclass. From what I understand it’s not the cow-falling-from-the-sky good times from BG2 though. Might need mods for real craziness.
yeah, there’s a disappointingly small number of effects, and that generally aren’t that crazy.
Finally, a proper hexblade!
Cool. Now add Artificer.
oh man, I’m really tempted to recreate my Lawful Good Hexblade Warlock. I guess the opportunities to roleplay an insane fallen paladin aren’t as prevalent though.
I’m SO EXCITED LETS GOOO
Glorious.
Let’s hope Sony doesn’t snatch them up too.
Sven doesn’t seem interested in being bought out.
Also Tencent already has some claws in Larian.
Larian seems to have some actual principles, which is quite rare these days.
Any new story line?
Asks the coward who refuses to do an evil durge run.
Yet another proof that it’s better to just wait until games are completed before buying at a lower price
BG3 was definitely a complete game upon release. This is just icing on the cake.
I don’t consider my cake complete until there’s icing on it 😉
The point still stands, if you’ve already played the game and extra content is added that you might have enjoyed then you might be disappointed that you won’t get to enjoy that content. When you only have a few hours per week to play games you won’t go back if you have other games you want to try, but if you had known more content was coming you would have played something else in the meantime.
It’s extra subclasses. You wouldn’t have been able to play all the subclasses anyway without starting a new run and spending extra time, so your argument is dead in the water from the start. Not that it matters, because your argument would basically be ‘never buy an indie game until its creator is dead’ or ‘creators must never release new content for their games’. The Terraria and Stardew Valley crowd would love your take on this.
This game is intentionally designed to not be 100%able. It contains “missable content” and is part of its style
My first playthrough was like 200 hours, and I found a bunch of stuff on my second and third playthroughs that I missed the first time. There was really no reason to wait for this game. It’s the best game I’ve ever played. They did iron out some bugs shortly after release, but the game was already great.
While that take is correct in 98% of circumstances, this isn’t one of them for a couple of reasons. BG3 has enough content at release to play for several years and have different experiences each time. The fact that it’s getting free additional content is more so because of people making the game popular in it’s first year, showing that CRPGs aren’t dead, etc. The game won literally every GotY award, for crying out loud.
There’s not a ton of other games I’d say this is bad take, but you know, it’s like complaining about Terraria or Dead Cells or something. At some point you get the game and you return to it periodically.
The only two reasons to put it off? You’re too poor or you don’t have time for a 300+ hour time investment. It’s not gonna get a steep discount anytime soon, though.
