Despite the sheer amount of content Baldur's Gate 3 offers, its Evil playthroughs feel unrewarding and leave a lot to be desired.

People need to stop the Tiefling cruelty. These games have always struggled with "evil" playthroughs. It's an extra alternate timeline they need to develop. It would be cool if they did an "evil" DLC.

Christopher565d ago

It's kind of the whole point, though. It's supposed to reflect similar cruelty in real life and make you hate it.

anast565d ago

True, Tiefling is my go to. I know they are supposed to be rare, but it was cool to find a bunch of them in BG3.

It’s actually done pretty well, but you have to pick The Dark Urge backstory for it to feel right. That’s kind of the mode you can play as a good guy or bad guy and both are rewarding and feel like that’s how they were intending it to be played.
I picked the dark urge play through for both my games and did good and evil because it was so interesting see how different things turn out, and they turn out VERY differently if you go out of your way to be as evil as possible lol

im almost finished with my good playthrough as a paladin...saving everyone i can, being super nice etc etc

looking forward to an evil playthrough with the dark urge, thinking might go open handed monk and run around beating everyone up that i can haha

myfathersbastard563d ago

Oh man, you’re in for a wild ride lmao dark urge actually feels like it was the intended storyline the developers wanted. It ties into the main story far more than any of the other backstories. And the differences between being good or bad have some pretty significant differences.
Have fun!

anast565d ago

Thanks for the heads up. I will do that in my next play through. There is so much in this game.

myfathersbastard563d ago

The possibilities almost seem endless!

When people talk about an "evil" playthrough in BG3 they always refer to the "murder hobo" style of play. That's such a basic and boring version of evil so no wonder it feels unrewarding. If "killing people" is your final definition of evil, I'm sorry but you're basic. There are a myriad of ways to be evil in BG3 that are rewarding and fun to do raging from manipulating events so only you come out on top, stealing, pushing others to do your dirty work and let them take the blame for it and so on

Only one game is more popular than Oblivion Remastered on Steam Deck right now

Perhaps performance issues with the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remaster on Steam Deck stopped it from claiming the top spot right away.

It doesn't work on the Steam Deck. Go read the reviews before 'you' sell stuff.

What? Do you have a Deck? I’ve got both of ESO:R and BG3 on my Deck and they play fine.

If Starfield could run on the Steam Deck OLED I used to own then I know this can, lol
