Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Restore the Nautiloid

The nautiloid was pretty cool, the current truncated much shorter nautiloid is... only okay

I get why the nautiloid was shortened... I get the reasons, but ultimatley its a lot of production quality left on the cutting room floor. so just... put it back...

If you are really worried about the tutorial level being to long, or people being burned out, put a toggle for it in the gameplay settings "longer tutorial" and "shortened tutorial"

I was really happy with the shortened nautiloid. I'm a big fan of choice, too, though, so I'd be just fine with an option that allowed you to choose "shorter tutorial." However, I think there is a point where Larian will start having to decide when the number of toggles available is too many.

I like the new version more.

For one is more "lore friendly" (nautiloids weren't supposed to be that big to begin with and this is STILL oversized).
And more importantly being a part that will be repeated over and over like the initial dungeon in BG2, the shorter, the better.

I've noticed at the end, the cannons start attacking you I was just like, yeah if I hadnt played the EA this would be when i found out they had cannons?
I liked the old nautiloid with its exploration and set up and was less forced, but as a serial restarter I also like this one being shorter

id love a choice, climb up to short, or go round for full tutorial or something?

As for lore friendly? idkin the spelljammer game (which is more canon that 5e because it was silly) they were pretty big

The outside of the ship looked janky as all heck, I was wondering how they were going to fix it for release. It was not a good rendering of Avernus, nor was it a good rendering of a ship losing a bow to a dragon. I am glad for the change, cleaner and quicker. With the added benefit of not being disappointed with a 2 minute look at avernus that wasn't the point of the game to begin with.
