BG II had awesome storyline, NPCs and multiple solutions to events, funny moments, drama and all but..

Enough praising the good old friend Baldur's Gate II, but now let me tell you how much its sucks in multiple levels

It was so broken that u can just run through the game..as in just running and nothing else.
*Fighting a lich? get out and wait 2 mins untill it runs out of spells buffs and get in again
*Boots of speed was so broken that u can actually go in a fight and get out causing miss of every spell, or change direction at once.. lets say while a fireball approaching
*Also kiting anything the the same strategy..
*100.000k damage on shadow lord with the infamous daystar sword
*stupid dragons with +18 - 20 intelligence access to almost all the spells but cant use a dispell properly.

but yes it was fun to play..it was the best thing ever, that a DnD game can offer on pc of "it's era"
had a couple goodfights esspecially when its supported by playermade mods like twisted rune.

BG3, as the way it lookss now promises hell lot more, I would say thats the game we gonna play for the next 5 years (10 even) at least, considering how scarce those decent DnD games coming along.
Don't you think so?


I ve seen some terrible comments on forum but well its usual internet I guess

I am just so happy that obsidian didnt get a chance to ruin Baldur's Gate name with their plain cheesy character design or story depth,
besides I ve never seen a incredibly good RPG from them. They were playable tho, but always so out of control in endgame, mid game even
and hard coded game breaking unfixable bugs. I guess some people confusing them with "blackisle" while making those comments. I ve never seen
a combat, worthy of playing in their NWN sequel campains tbh. If you are all about facerolling a game, making items its fine tho.

In combat system I would pick turn based over play/pause anyday because it lets eveyone plays as they should which is way more PnP accoring to their initiative.
Less abusive for the enemy.

Some were saying too many stuff going on in a small zone and different monsters in same area just think of Athlanka..
in the same sewer theres rakasha, mindflayers, githyanki, beholder cults, a forgotten god, vampire den,liches, list goes on and on..


UPS and DOWNS

Definitely not saying Larian Studios are doing everything the best way but I think the best choice out there, except..

Their unspoken fetish about barrels and boxes in their games!

I hope they fix or limit it at least, I know we are able to carry truck loads of weps in our inventory but..characters shouldnt be able to carry 5 barrels
to throw them away in a combat and they are really powerfull compared to early level spells even..Best gish nowadays is a straight warrior loaded up with barrels.
You guys do know about box'omancer in divinity right?
I think throwing crap items from ur inventory is totally ok and cool and fun, but barrels should be a mechanic like Tiny's throw in DoTA if u know what I mean. U can grab
and throw some object like a barrel around your character, in a radius, let say like cleave distance and thats it.. As for the puzzles & hidden areas making use of them..make our characters actually lift and carry maybe.

What I expect from BG3

Some really intelligent AI at least in hardcore mode; other than the usual HP buffing, using dispells, making use of items they have and focusing Gale ofc! u would get down the wizard 1st!

A DM tool, I mean please we need it laugh for building custom campaigns. Also less hardcoded stuff as possible.

You know how many times we see a "miss"..theres a dodge animation..since its turn based we can have an evasion, like a cartwheel or a backflip kinda action.

Some more user friendliness in UI..we need a button in loot window that only takes magical items, scrolls and pots.. simple as it is its a big thing imo, we can handle the other stuff.

Way too early to demand before even the real game comes out but.. DLCs

Gore Option and kill camera if possible since the engine pretty capable.. at least a natural 20 kill deserves it.
