How many writers are there for BG3?? [every writer is in charge of ~a companion]
Tennish maybe more? I dont remember exactly, but we should get at least 4-5 new companions with full release if everything goes as planned. But I do think some of them will get scrapped. I do hope though that we get at least a couple of new guys.
Thanks, that's roughly the number I had in my mind. So yeah, a total of 8+ companions even if a couple get scrapped. I'd guess 3-4 good companions and then maybe another neutral one.
I seriously do not think this game has enough Horror theme. The only good Horror feeling was exploring the Crypt with the supernatural enemies. I will not tell what that supernatural threat was in case someone has not played that Crypt it would be a spoiler.
The Underdark or the Hag's lair are perfect locations for horror, but don't do it adequately imo. I suppose I felt some fear in the hag lair, but my dominant feeling was the tedium & frustration from the effort of jumping/navigating the exploding clouds. And then the drama of finding a girl in a cage suspended over a pit was too extra for horror.
For the Underdark, in order for there to be a horror feeling resting would need to be limited. Delving into a dark, dangerous area with potentially no way to travel back safely. Deciding whether to risk pushing on or use some of my
limited camping supplies. Encountering scary (non-gimmicky) monsters that
slowly chip away at characters' ability scores, exhaustion, or maximum hp. A reoccurring enemy that does little damage but tries to give a character such a status debuff, then leaves to attack you again when you're weaker. There's obviously a balance between fun gameplay and creating such an ambiance (e.g., random encounters while resting might be disliked and/or make the game more tedious), but currently the Underdark mainly just feels like the overworld but...darker.
I am sorry that is not enough for me.
I want the Werewolf introduced into the game at least in Act 2. It is subjective what people find scary. Of course real life scariness is more nasty example a deadly disease.
That said if we forget real horror then the most horroful movies I find me scary are generally Werewolf movies or the old movie The Thing (1982). Yes I have seen the new The Thing , but that was not so scary as the 1982 version movie.
True story about Ginger Snaps (2000). My ex work colleague agreed to come home to my apartment to get know to know me better since we both liked computer games, sports and movies and TV series.
Well he told he is more into Comedy and I told him I am more into Action and Horror movies. Well he then said he has not much experience from Horror movies. I suggested then we see Ginger Snaps (2000).
For extra horror effect we sat near a huge TV and then I turned of all light sources except TV and it was dark outside an autumn evening. I also put volume enough high.
I enjoyed the movie despite seen it before. After the movie was seen I put lights on. I noticed immediately my guest was pale and silent. I asked are you ok?
He a young man said this movie was to scary for me. Can I stay here for a while I dont want to go out in the evening right now?
I said of course and then tried to calm him down telling no real shapehifting Werewolves should exist.
Eventually he calmed and went home. Well then I have also seen Ginger Snaps (2000) with other guests and lights on other sources and not so scary nobody of them complained to scary movie.
You doubt me? Try put of all lights out except a huge TV that you sit near and see Ginger Snaps (2000). If you have not seen it before it should be enough scary then. Well that or see The Thing (1982).
