Attention! Possible spoilers and description of the plot elements of the game Baldur's Gate 3.
Welcome to the attentive readers of this forum, as well as the support of Larian Studios. I have played your game for more than 140 hours and despite the fact that I have already passed all possible quests twice in the 1st act of our adventures... I would like to share my impressions and ask about some things that are bothering not only me, but also most of the Russian community segment.
First, it is localization. We understand that translating all books and texts at the alpha test stage is not a priority, but we would be very pleased if all the materials were translated into Russian, at least in text form.
Secondly, of course, bugs related to crashes during the game in the cooperative. During saves, it often happens that while the host of the game session is saved, the rest of the players can safely move around and do whatever they want. Because of this, the host has huge FPS drawdowns, friezes appear, and even a crash from the game is possible. We strongly ask you to fix this problem. You may be able to achieve this by pausing for all other players until the save is completed to the end.
Third, we really ask developers and those who are engaged in the development of non-linear quests in BG III... Don't give up on this case! My friends and I enjoyed it a lot and had a lot of pleasant emotions that almost every quest has different development options and even different endings! The only thing that hurt us was that despite the fact that we found evidence in the deception of the druid Kaga-we still did not manage to bring her to trial Helsin. This saddened us very much. There are also several other quests that work when and how, and sometimes break and do not complete. For example, saving a baby tiefling from sirens. During my first passage, the boy became ill and after being rescued remained in a cave under the shelter of the druids, even when all his friends and family left for the gates of Baldur.
A very big request to deal with the bug in Underdark, when characters sometimes, instead of climbing a ladder or a grassy vine somewhere to the top, fall under the textures behind the map and die, once in the camp. It only happened a couple of times near the Beholder's lair, but it was a bit of a shock. There was also a bug that allowed you to get into the Moon towers via glitch, but I understand that in one of the last updates you closed it. We would like to find out what will happen next, because the intrigue eats me and my friends from the inside!
We still don't know if crafting any simple items or potions for the squad will be implemented, as it was in Divinity. If such a thing is already implemented, then you can find some hint for players or a brief excursion about it, because so far we have only been able to find crafting weapons at +1 due to a unique ingredient.
We look forward to new classes and subclasses, as well as unique characters and races. After all, the set that is still available is very small. But we would like to praise you for the large selection of looks in the character editor - we really liked it!
We managed to find many rare and unique weapons. But most of them don't have any strong or phenomenal abilities. This is strange... After all, to get many of them-you need to try hard. We understand why you can't buy mythical or legendary items from Mercenaries or Tieflings with druids... But at least a couple of interesting artifacts in hiding places could be hidden even in the first act of this game. This would motivate you to search every corner even more in order to get a magic item. Although it is worth recognizing the fact that we really liked the quest with the book of the Necromancer and the quest where one of our members of the bard squad for the place of the gouged out eye gave a magic one!
We liked almost every fight and are happy that opponents often behave in a smart way and have very few weak points. But sometimes even the AI blunts and makes mistakes. We hope that in the upcoming updates, enemies will slow down less and make more useful moves, and not stand still and wait for them to be killed.
We really liked the love lines of different characters and bed scenes with the main characters. We would like more of these things, after all, the game is for adults. Therefore, this is quite important in terms of getting used to the role of your created character.
We were very impressed with the locations, character costumes, and soundtrack. We have no complaints about the main story and the manner of narration. In addition, we would very much like new videos and cinematics during our travels through the Gates of Baldur! This will add a little more spice and beauty to your masterpiece!
In conclusion, we would like to thank you for taking the risk to undertake such a difficult and dangerous job. It will take a lot of effort and time to create the full version of the game, but we believe and hope for you from Larian Studios. And as payment of the debt, we wrote a short verse about our adventures, as we promised to do after reading the user agreement before starting the game.
Сверкая глазами во тьме,
С щитом и мечом в руках,
Блуждаем и бьемся во мгле,
Вчетвером, в друидских стенах.
Сражались мы долго и рощу спасли,
Убили мы вожаков.
И гоблину каждому, башку мы снесли,
Пир тифлингам готов!
Но ждет нас новая напасть,
И Хелсин нам помог...
Он подсказал, как нам попасть,
На Лунных башен порог.
Прошли минотавров, и ловушки, и тьму,
А цель еще далека,
Хотим мы узнать - что тут к чему?
Как нам исцелить себя?
We hope that the new patch, with a new development branch and coordination changes, which was announced today... It will give us a lot of new impressions. Thank you for your efforts and hope for the development of your beautiful game! Thank you very much Larian Studios! We will be happy to continue to share with you our requests and descriptions of problems in the game, if this review was useful for you. Sincerely, your community of Russian players!
