Remarkableriots Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Baldur’s Gate 3 Used ‘Intimacy Co-Ordinators’ to Help Actors Feel Comfortable During Romantic Scenes - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian employed specially trained intimacy co-ordinators to make sure actors felt comfortable during romantic scenes. Quote In an interview with the BBC, actors Jennifer English and Devora Wilde, who play half-elf cleric Shadowheart and githyanki warrior Lae'zel respectively, praised Larian for employing the intimacy co-ordinators. "I never felt 'yuck' in a recording session at all,” said English. “And I've got quite a low 'yuck' threshold.” There’s no word on whether they were used for Baldur’s Gate 3’s now infamous bear sex scene, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Baldur's Gate 3: Should You Pick An Origin Character Or Create Your Own? WWW.THEGAMER.COM Wondering whether to make a custom character or choose an origin character in Baldur's Gate 3? Here are some things to consider. Quote There are seven origin characters to choose from as you start a new game. They will come with their own class, but you can select their Subclass. As they level up within the game, you can choose certain spells and skills for them. All of the origin characters have their own physical appearance and class, except The Dark Urge. The Dark Urge is a unique origin character and the only origin that lets you customize your character completely. You can choose your own race, class, and skills. What makes this origin unique is your dialogue options. Making your own character from scratch, you get to handpick your skills and your story. The plus side is that you get to play around with the Character Creator screen and all of its 100 skin tones and mythical races. If you decide to make your own custom character, you will still have access to all of the origin characters minus The Dark Urge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladins in 5e are really powerful, even more so if you have a support character to buf them. At the end of my last TT campaign I played a level 20 Bard giving Foresight to my friend who was a level 20 Vengeance Paladin and he could basically 1 shot dragons. On top of that, people probably want charisma characters for dialog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the persuasion skill is already a big deal in 5e, and I have no doubt Larian is going give lots of fun dialog opportunities for those with the skill!

Remarkableriots Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 How long does Baldur's Gate 3 take to beat? Early access & full game length WWW.GGRECON.COM If you need to know how long Baldur's Gate 3 takes to beat in the current early access, along how long the full game will be, we've got you covered. Quote Talking about the game's playtime, Vincke stated during playtests that the Baldur's Gate 3 length was "between 75 and 100 hours". He also estimated the playtime for players "who want to do everything", claiming it will "probably hit 200 hours". From these figures, it seems like even players who want to just mainline the story will need to put in well over 50 hours, meaning you'll be spending a long time with the game.

legend Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 DOS:2 ended up with a staggering 93 on Opencritic, sitting at the 12th highest rated game on the site. It sure looks like BG3 is going to improve on it in every way. So what are people's bets on its OC rating? I'm going to guess 94, with it being dragged down by people who just don't like CRPGs.

Lower than that. I’m going to say 89. DOS:2 released on PC only which I think helped the scores as PC have more its target audience. Adding PS5 at release, I think you will get a lot of “I don’t like CRPGs but this is great if you do 8/10” reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I tried Paladin for my first EA play, and while it was okay...games like this really are more fun if you take classes that are fun in combat. You can make almost any class interesting for the dialogue (with hi charisma being OP), but unlike actual D&D, many of the skills you have aren't going to be used a whole lot. Honestly, I'm having more fun as a Warlock than I was as a Paladin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriors and Thieves do have magic most of the time. Ain't no world in which Fell Cleave isn't magic. And then there is the whole regeneration thing warriors can do in a lot of games. Thieves are often shadow mages with daggers and dex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
