Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General [Synopsis] Panel From Hell III

Thanks for the synopsis! I expected that watching the stream would be a waste of time and appreciate having my reasoning confirmed. It sounds like they may have had a slightly interesting core idea, but then the execution was sloppy (once again). It really seems like they should stop trying to do things live.

I wasn't anticipating (but in retrospect, am not really surprised) that most of the humor was below-the-belt gotcha stuff and, in several cases, sounds pretty gross. It certainly doesn't help my opinion of them.

Glad I didn't waste my time watching it.

Honnestly if they have talked more about BG3 it would have been better IMO.

I like that they enter the room than let us see the new active dice roll system on the chest (first action expected).

But then we'll have to wait wayyy too much for informations about the game.

When they opened the chest and found the scroll, the fighter said something like "I can't read it, I'm a fighter".
I hoped it was another clue about the patch content and that they'll have to cast it a few minutes later, revealing at the same time than now scrolls cannot be used by anyone.

But it wasn't and the scroll was used like 30 minutes later.

Same with the portal. Will there be puzzles for some of them, are they removed (my wish) or something ?

Finally we didn't have a lot of informations during "the game" which is a bit dissapointing because that's why we were looking. I guess they could have introduced more things during their quest.

It could have been better but it could also have been worse, like the previous panel.

Thanks Niara I'd give you a steam award or reddit silver if i could

Yes, me! And I am very grateful for @Niara's excellent synopsis.

Thank you Niara for all your hard work. I really feel sorry for you, subjecting oneself to this life-threatening amount of goofiness shouldn't have been easy.

Gamespot posted the video on YT:

Couldn't watch the entirety of it, too much cringe for me. And unfortunately, it appears that I was right when I said that Larian doesn't target us, they were aiming at people that, as of now, are largely unaware of the game. Looking at the video's top comments, their gamble did pay off. The likes breakdown confirms that: 2.3K up vs. just 82 down.

And Swen, he is clearly enjoying himself. Does he have a God complex? It certainly looks that way for me. "Everything goes the way I say so!" - this kind of attitude is a huge risk for the entire project, as petty tyrants tend to be not particularly bright.

Thanks for the kind words folks.

I do want to say: Let not this detract from the positive side of things - As much as it may not seem like a lot, I don't want to forget or lessen the fact that I'm pretty happy to see what was actually listed for the patch, and that it's left me, at least, a little bit more optimistic for the game than I was before.
