I must admit, it looks pretty good. From the trailer (and I insist it's only from the trailer), it seems as if Larian may manage to make the city feel less life-less (/static/theme-park) than the world we can currently experience in EA. Also, we'll get a chance to see Alfira play again (in the appropriate playthroughs, naturally).$ Edit : and thanks to Wormerine for sharing a link to the trailer.

Originally Posted by The Red Queen I thought Baldur's Gate looked so cool in that PC Gaming Show trailer. I can't wait to visit!

And I loved the little animation that showed first, which felt like it was a bit of fanservice for those of us who've invested in Early Access as I can't imagine it would mean much to anyone else. It also seemed as though the game was talked up by the host more than most of the games shown. Still no new companions or classes, but I wasn't really expecting those as well as a city preview. I have my fingers firmly crossed for another community update soon, though.

But here, it seems to be even huger... even more detailed and bigger sometimes than in descent into Avernus... Quite frankly, this is absolutely amazing. For me, as a long time player of all baldur's gate, it is a dream come true. Do you seriously imagine the number of game hours you can spend here ? Probably hundreds. And if they are able to do this with the city, can you imagine what will look like the entire game ? Waouh Last edited by Lunar Dante; 11/06/23 10:52 PM.

And the most awesome thing i noticed: Lae'zel wears Githyanki boots!!! ^_^ Still not gloves tho ... but we are geting there! Originally Posted by snowram Final panel from hell the 7th of july! https://twitter.com/larianstudios/status/1668016652448038912 Awesome! ^_^ Best gift i could wish. --- On slightly negative note tho ... Is it just my feeling, or are all haircolors we can see on that trailer still bright and pastel? (Except Volo's beard) Last edited by RagnarokCzD; 11/06/23 10:33 PM. I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!

I must admit though that a PFH almost 2 months before release is kinda odd timing. Would love even a small patch with just a few gameplay elements.

Would love even a small patch with just a few gameplay elements. I'm guessing (hoping!) that it will be a more detailed look at new gameplay elements, companions and/or playable classes and races that we can expect in August. To me, PFH feels like a better format for that kind of stuff than a trailer at these big gaming shows.
