Hey everyone! Ty all for the feedback on my feedback! You're all appreciated <3
“Who is Tav?” Good question. My characters in EA are all “Tavyn” with a unique last name to fit their race, class, background. I like that Larian implemented some background specific rewards to acknowledge that you are a Noble or Acolyte or Urchin or whatever. But I also wish that there was more to your character that was acknowledged in the game. Nothing compares to the backstory in BG1 of being an orphan and slowly learning your consequential background throughout the game(s). But how do you do that while keeping open the infinite options for a player to imagine their own backstory for roleplaying? It would be really difficult, but if someone could figure it out, it would be really cool. I suspect that the answer will be found when we can play as one of the origin characters. If you want to play as a character with an incredibly filled out backstory, play as one of the origin characters. If you want to play as your own unique character with your own imagined backstory, create your own character. I get that and it is a good solution. Just wish there was something a little better to make your own created character more tied into a role in the game world.
Even though I agree with that, and I also like Tav being a "White Sheet" I have seen better solutions than what we have with ingame and I'm pretty sure
we did. Games like DA:O and DAI have awesome history-driven narratives with a good solution to bring interest in who we are, they are not as open as BG3 is though. In the end, I feel that Tavs backstory needs more epicness, something that we could delve into and be surprised about and at the same time have a small amount of interference with what we chose to him/her(More dialog options for ex).
Darrian, just want to say thank you for prefacing your proposals for improvement by positive feedback about the game. It's something I wish more people did, as it is important to recognize things that are good at least as much as things that could be improved.
Thank you, I also have the same feeling!
I agree with all your feedback except for the grouped cantrips button, as I fear it would not allow to add a keyboard shortcut, and I use keyboard shortcuts for cantrips a lot
. It's a delicate balance to strike between people who like messy bars and those who like a cleaner interface.
Thanks again !
I honestly didn't think about that, hahaha, I'm just a clicker for life in this game, even if some of my cantrips are on shortcuts I still click them! lol, But You know... Larian Studios are the masters of customizing everything, maybe we could get both ways of doing it!
As for Halsen being captured, there could be story reasons why that we haven't seen yet. My personal ideas are being captured on purpose to learn more about The Absolute or being surprised by the powers of The Absolute's chosen.
The Halsin Problem: So ah... Halsin an Archdruid of the Forgotten Realms got captured by a bunch of goblins? That's hard to believe... In Faerun, an Archdruid would be much stronger than Halsin with lv going to 10-12 minimum... But I understand that this would not add much to the game as a whole, but still is a good thing to consider, is the Forgotten Realms world being accurately adapted into BG3?
That is the thing ...
Even tho many people for some reason presumed that Halsin is "Archdruid" he is not and never claimed otherwise.
He is just leader of this specific Grove ... i would say that to make Halsin work as "first Druid" (wich is his actual title) we need to aply rule: In the land of blind one-eyed man is the king.
Hey guys! I didn't notice that detail actually, even though I think when you're first druid you are Archdruid, and yes, so many people had the same thinking about him, he is quoted as Archdruid in every Wikia I could find. But still does not fit my mind for Faeruns ways of dealing with characters like him, but yea, as RimeSword said, may there's more to it that we still don't know.
Also, guys, I'm not a native English speaker, nor writer as you can tell! So please be patient with me :P
