Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General New players and the problem with Shar

Here's another point, just to shore up a frequent apologetic, that the game is in EA and perhaps Larian is still building up to all this. If I'm an editor and someone hands me their rough draft asking for ideas, I'd think about it one way. If they hand me a manuscript and say "I think this is ready for publication how about you?" I'd read it differently.

We're already into this EA by like a year, and the groundwork for the Pantheon hasn't really been set up. Even though our default class during character creation is "Cleric" not much has been done to support the class or the concept of clericalism or divinity in FR. That other thread where people where mentioning how Clerics don't feel differentiated enough from each other makes one sort of point, but this is even more general. Basically that they are trying to pull of the Forgotten Realms sans deities, or where the actual deities from the lore are being usurped almost entirely by their new invented one. The mind flayer god, or the Absolute, or whatever it is hehe

I think they need to do a bit more in the set up. If it's not going to happen during char creation or immediately after, not dealt with in the opening cinematics, or during the Nautiloid escape. Then it needs to happen almost as soon as we hit the beach. During our First dream. First visit to a priest/healer. Whatever. Just something. Give that one to your cinematics team as the tall order of the year. Explain the cosmogony of the Forgotten Realms! You got like 3-5 minutes to pull it off! Go!
