Here is a look at the opening cinematics, character creation and early gameplay from the Early Access version of Baldur’s Gate 3.

I'm one of the early access suckers bought it on gog store. Couldn't resist buying it because of larian studios as the dev

How are you liking it?

[phoenixwing]

I'm still downloading it. I have slow internet takes 1 to 2 days to download a big game

Which is why I don't believe in the streaming future because not everyone lives in a city

I'm so trying to get into larian studio games, i bought diviinity 1 and 2 on steam and then divinity 2 on switch, I just finished the prologue area of the first divinity and am hoping it will hook me.

[phoenixwing]

They're great games in my eyes. I always add the ability that lets you talk to animals. Tons of fun that way lol

you can get that ability in character creation beginning

@phoenixwing

Omg yes i realized this after my first playthrough where i could interact with rats and it told me i didnt have the skill, so i restarted the game. I'm going to push throw and hope there are interesting characters that hook me.

Character creation is not as deep as Black Desert Online (is there a game that is?), but prepare to spend some time on it. Character models look very good when making your character. Gameplay is going to be very deep from what I have played already. Examine a lot and don't be afraid to run early!

[Garethvk]

I have no patience for that. I just want to get in and play. I remember testing ESO; I was in playing and my wife was still working on the look of her character even though we started at the same time.

sadly, the game plays like the next divinity original sin, not the next baldur's gate game. I wish Obsidian developed, not Larian.

[Garethvk]

Camera angles were an issue for me.

Anyone BUT Larian should have gotten this game. Or no one at all. I'm good with how Throne of Bhaal wrapped things up. Didn't need a sequel at all. Plus it seems to be a sequel in name only. The Baldur's Gate Trilogy was never about the city of Baldur's Gate. You basically spend 5 minutes there in the entire series.

Larian are basically developping Divinity Original Sin 3 and slapping the title "Baldur's Gate 3" on it.

[drunkenspy007]

No one is asking for a sequel, it's about the feel of the original games that is missing. They should have just made DOS 3 instead since it's really what it is.

[Rachel_Alucard]

Kinda hating the damage balance. You get hit twice and you die it feels like.

[phoenixwing]

oh maybe we can leave some feedback on it and they'll update it. I like feeling strong in my rpg's hopefully it's not too skewed toward death.

[Garethvk]

I think they will change stuff.

dude if you're showing it off why not click through the races... that's the most interesting part of any character build. humans for both!? pshhhhh boring.
