games

Elevator first, got to last light

And then did the surface

idk, I've lost so much progress after the tower

the quests are just

My game is all sorts of broken

SO buggy

i rather them try to make normal fucking quests

instead of these super interconnected companion quests

because they just break

i imagine the only people they got to test just speedran the game or like

only played in certain fucking ways

because if you play weirdly or stray in ANY way

or try exploring

it just breaks

Please don’t talk about this game at the start of my working hours come on man I’m itching to play it come ON

heroin addict

The combat is just fun

It’s not my fault

There’s so much cool stuff you can do

planscape torment > whatever baldurs gate ie dnd game y'all playing

@Spooky Phijkchu what levle are you?

I'm getting slightly worried about the length of the game

I'm level 8 and i dont think im that close to being done with act 2

and im not even tryharding exp anymore

level cap is 12

is baulders gate just a marathon of being level 10-12

or is the city small and act 1 the actual brunt of the game

the writing is also getting worse and worse, I literally had the dream person tell me the equivalent of "I can't tell you yet because it ruins the story/plot if you know now XDDD

I'm 8 as well

And yeah, I share the same feelings

There are some small bits of good writing/characters

But the overall story and structure are just..... Yeah

it feels like i havent actually done much despite the amount of time i have played

its the very opposite of a grand scale adventure, which isnt a bad thing i suppose

I'd like if there were more standalone adventures,

It feels like everything needs to fit into a neat good/evil faction box

The underdark was the most different

the underdark fell into good/evil boxes if you looked into it but it gave you a reason to be evil at least if you wanted to

No matter how you build your character there's literally zero reason to be evil in the main conflict of act 1 unless you really hate the tieflings being fucking dicks to you

act 2 im.... uhhh

for the mountain pass there are no story options lmao

for the shadow touched lands, it's either help the harpers or just fucking murder them all for lmao even

since I'm 99% sure no matter if ur good or evil i think act 2 will end the same if im right

Yeah, I assume it does too

I just wish there was more individual stories/things along the way in your adventure

Act 2 felt a lot smaller

Like for example, the burning inn at the top of act 1

isolated, interesting story

Which is fine, but I assumed they were going for a classic 3 act structure.... And it seems even more basic than that

cool, self contained, future relevant, expands the world

Yeah, that feels like the bare minimum tbh

creates a plot and story

there's very little of that

I want a game that is 90% that

And sure, maybe some stuff connects back to a "save the world" plotline since that's obligatory

compare to act 2 divinity where you have at first like 5 later/total like 8 different sourcerers and conflicts going on, everything herding you in directions (bloodmoon island, rykers graveyard, blackpits, mordus' lair)

they add to the story yet have self contained mysteries and plots

it feels more grand and like an adventure, and like you're doing something

half the fights here feel like filler

idk

after the third SUPRISE ROOT MONSTER FIGHT

with no relevance

a good example is the placement of enemies as well

im convined the top part of act 1 must of been done later in development because of that

The gnolls have somewhat of an explanation for their appearance there, you can investigate it and it makes sense sorta. The goblins at blighted village, okay they're there, but why? If you actually ask around in the blighted village they don't say why. You see the goblin fight in the way to the druid grove but there's no explanation other than goblins!!! for a long time. You finally get to their camp and ONLY if you talk to Minthara do they finally explain that the goblins are in the blighted village because; they're searching for the grove. Why does the absolute want the grove? No answer or reason. This is further clarified to be related to the mcguffin, but the mcguffin was on the ship- not the grove. It's entirely unrealted and the story doesn't even try to connect them. So you don't know why your enemies are there, what they're doing or anything about yhem until the final boss of the area

The mystery of the absolute is useless if everyone talks in vague ass terms

In the underdark you are told upfront, or given heavy hints of what every character wants and is doing

and I knjow its a quality/time issue because the obvious later done sections of act 1 don't have these issues

and the must rushed section of dos2- arx, also shares ALL of these same issues

How does anything in baldurs gate come out rushed

I don’t understand…

It feels really fucking retarded to come out with this amazing in-depth dnd combat system and then throw a rushed story on top

the combat system has been unchanged since 2021 as well

fyi

I'm not really sure how this happens

I won't lie and say divinity was polished by any mean, but I've replayed it on launch and post relase many many times and I can really only think of 2 things that "break" quests, one of them is an extremely valid and common complaint that breaks nameless isle. if you find a secret tunnel and go inside, it skips the "finding the door" part of the quest and automatically moves alexander and sallow man. people complain a lot about this and it causes so much to move and it's an extremely valid complaint because you're punished for exploring

BG3 somehow has MULTIPLE of these in the first two acts, its fucking insane

I was looking at forum posts of old bugs and quest issues from early access and there was thousands of these. I just think whatever scripting they use for quests just isn't comprehensive or something
