Simply NOT balders gate

[Powerful Holy God]

Missing real time with pause, turn based is slow paced casual boredom
Woke content ruining the immersion
Casualized dice rolls, cant let babies fail to many rolls so here's some cheat die
very weak writing so far, millenial friendly characters that are straight out of a episode of Friends/Sienfeld
Same stats for all race (LOL, this is the big one) so halfling has same strength as orc...ok, again take your woke inclusion nonsense and shove it up your ass idiot devs

In the settings there is an option to turn of the rigged die.. did you know that? Its called the Karmic dice i believe!!! I turned it off before even starting the game~

Yeah, it's not Baldurs Gate.
It doesn't have terrible gameplay (RTWP)
It isn't trial and error.
It actually plays well.

"Balders Gate" is in Oslo, Norway, so hope not -)

When BG3 was announced I thought exactly like this. Thank god I played early access and then DOS 2.

Now I think this turn based combat is truely the way PnP rpgs should be brought to a computer game.

It's not as fast but It is way more DnD and way more challenging. You truely have to utilize all of your party and each battle can be as easily lost as one. The dices are brutal. As they should be.

I am loving The game. After 25 years to get to go Back in to this world where my love for crpg's started as a Kid when BG1 came.

Completely agree. Just a reskin of a boring game = another BG3 boring game.

Baldurs Gate 2 was a great time, but the combat was really bad. If you think real time with pause is actually a good thing, maybe you want to check your rose tinted glasses.

Stats tied to Races has also always been moronic. We removed that from our Tabletopgame two decades ago.

Honestly Pillars of Eternity combat is better.

Sorry to break it to you but Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 (original CD versions) combat was *atrocious*. The Gold Box games (for those of you who were old enough to have played them), had AOE range indicators. The original BG did not. And from someone who was around playing the early Ultimas, the lack of knowing where to aim your fireballs when people would just run into--or out of them, was a sore thumb. When BG1 came out, it was an 'interesting' game but I found that aspect far more annoying than the gold box games.

Don't talk about the ENHANCED Editions (i'm fully aware of their improvements) and then say BG1 and 2 RTWP combat was awesome--we're talking about the original games here.

I applaud them for adapting the system first used in Darklands, but they didn't do as good a job as they could have done.

And I bought them when they came out. Still have my heft thick BG2 manual in its box.

You could always, I dunno. Put your halfling's bonuses where you think they should go?
I know I know, that would take effort on your part.

Not really seeing how thats 'woke,' but you do you.

i mean it is baldurs gate cause it's in the same setting using the D&d ruleset, simple.

nothing else is needed for that.

sorry you cant handle a character creator though

Baldur's Gate is not a type of game; it's a setting within a fictional universe. I'm sorry you disagree, but you are wrong.

I hate RTWP with a burning passion, the only reason i even finished BG2 and other titles like DAO with RTWP is because of the story and characters.

Turn based is the natural progression and is superiour in any way.

I'm glad they took the RTWP out.

Even Pathfinder realized their mistake and added turn based in later.

i swear, people cry 'woke' about anything.

"sex with a bear is fine, but GAY sex with a bear? woke garbage!"

Most of us learned after paying $60 for early access. Despite criticism of the system RTwP option was completely ignored by Larian.

Thank God they have an infinite number of white knight forum trolls to shill their game for them, and shout down anyone with legitimate disagreements

I am so glad you consider your own point of view legitimate. Here is a thought. Turn based is as legitimate a choice as RTwP. Considering DnD is TB, the game being TB makes sense. You may not like it and that is your right, but feel free NOT to play the game and move on. If you honestly think crying about TB right now is going to change anything you are deluded.

I bet, in their mind, larians thought process should have been "Oh yeah 1% of people are complaining it's not RTwP. Lets redesign the entire game, every single encounter we handcrafted, redesign the AI and all elements of combat for these people. Also screw the 99% that likes our combat the way it is, because all of that is going away if we do RTwP even as an option"
These modes can't coexist, thankfully larian made the right choice.
