Full Release v1.0?

[Dungeoncrawler69]

I've seen some content of what appears to be the full release of this game. Is there an early access for the full game content (v1.0)? There are youtube video content of about 8 hours of what is suppose to be the full game. Also twitch has some streams that indicated its the full release. Curious...and thank you.

some content creators/sites had the chance to play the game early and get some footage, there was also the panel from hell, I believe actual review copies are going out on the 27th though

So there isn't a way to play the full game early for regular people so-to-speak? I thought maybe it was like starfield. You can pay an extra $38 to upgrade the gamepass version to the early access version. Thank you for the reply. This is the 8 hours of youtube video of the full release.

That video is the EA version. look in the top right corner during any of the dialog scenes.

Edit: All 8 hours of that content is in act 1 and is only a small portion of what there is even in the incomplete version of act 1 we have now.

Ah so they being deceptive. I actually heard the EA version is now basically the full games Act 1. Love the dice rolls.

not quite the full act 1. and there are changes to the release version that are not in EA.

I have early access, but had decided to avoid playing until v1.0 is out. That is 12 days counting today. Plus Telltale's The Expanse releases this Thursday with episode 1. Wonder if v1.0 will require a new game start(BG3)?

edit: have you decided on what class/race you plan on playing?

it will require a new start. The final release patch will make early access saves incompatible.

"we’re recommending that players don’t buy the Early Access version of Baldur's Gate 3 with a view to play through that content, partly because it’s out of date but mostly because we’re so close to launch and want to make it very clear that saves in the Early Access version will not transfer into the final game. This is due to technical reasons.

Essentially, the game is so vastly different that it’s not possible to make those save files compatible. Early Access will, of course, remain playable up to launch."

yeah at this point i don't even have it installed yet. Would have been very cool if they would have allowed us to create our character pre-launch of v1.0.
