Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General So what now?

level 5 is where all the fun begins. i think releasing level 5 should be saved for final release. what i'm hoping for probably more to what upcoming changes the game will be in terms of gameplay like reactions, random encounters, more party characters and maybe new feats or tech.

I would like to hear Swen clarify his past statement about level 5 ...

When he said that they didnt decided yet if they will include level 5 into Act 1 ... did he mean Early Acess, or Act 1 as a whole ... basicaly confrimming level caps for Acts?

I never assumed he ment level caps for acts of the story, but...

On one hand I hate the idea, it takes away from a players experience mechanic-wise. On the other hand... it would be a great way to pace the story and make sure we don't have too high levels as a party to the adversity of the act.

It is more than sure the EA will be capped where the normal game won't be and hopefully the new patch will introduce level 5 - it is a big milestone and it would be great if had the opportunity to give out out opinions on it.

Would love to know what Black Isle studio thinks of BG3 <grins> lol.

You mean BioWare? Black Isle was a publisher of BG1&2 but made Planescape and ISDs

I doubt that original Devs would be protective of their old IP. I am sure they would do things differently nowadays anyway.

Bards and hijinks and romances for patch 8!

Bard or monk, I'd be superhappy 🥳🎸

Yes, I want bard

I am still hopeful for a Level 5/6 multiclass Half-Orc Bard/Cleric

That's basically setting yourself for guaranteed disappointment.

Well, if one of the things mentioned (and maybe an increased party limit) comes with the next patch, I'll be happy. ;-) But that's probably just as naive as some hope the release will be in mid or late 2023...

Mh. A tease without a hint to when to expect it sounds like we are still talking about something more than a week away.

I haven't seen any timeline attached, so it could be month(s) away. I wish there was a timeline.

Very much looking forward to patch 8!

I presume that Larian knows my birthday is coming and so they will make PHB next week for me. :3

i want paladin.

The hat, the rock stage. Definitely Bard

They confirmed 2023 release few weeks/months ago I believe. Which officially makes it the first release date they confirmed.

12 months is a large window. I will give you that.
