Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Panel From Hell/Creator Day Impressions

Yep, as folk have said, we definitely have multiclassing. I didn’t have much time to really look at it, but I saw nothing to indicate that it wasn’t being handled in line with 5e.

As feared.
When you make a BG3 you sadly cant escape the dumbing down of D&D.

I’m so sorry, kanisatha! I did very badly on spotting answers to your questions.

1. I think I had the option to multiclass my companions, but as I was trying to hurry I just accepted the defaults so I’m not 100% sure. Probably safest to wait for confirmation from a more reliable source.

2. I didn’t see any options for fine-tuning difficulty settings beyond the three levels.

3. I always just press escape to pause and didn’t try to do anything different, so I’m afraid I don’t know if there are any changes here.

Just as a heads up to both of you on the first question -

There are screenshots of Jaheira being spec'ed as a Druid/Sorceror. So multiclassing for companions does seem to be confirmed.

Thank you!


Another one where I do not know! I had a v quick look at The Dark Urge character creation but only really flipped to it.

When I created my custom character, I was asked for her name at the end (big improvement, and so hopefully no more accidental “Tavs”), and it’s certainly possible that the same is true for The Dark Urge, but I genuinely don’t know.

Very interesting. The obvious thing to give humans would be a feat.

Thank you!

I didn’t come across hairdressers or barbers, so this remains an open question I’m afraid. It doesn’t feel out of the question given other character customisation options I did see, but we’ll come to them in a bit as I think I saw a later question on that.

But I’m afraid my plane is boarding soon, so I’ll need to pick up on these questions when I’m back in Scotland.

In the meantime, can I suggest that if anyone wants to discuss any of the stuff I’ve already said here in more depth, they use a different existing thread or start a new one specifically on that topic, just so we can keep this thread focused on questions and answers, rather than opinions on those answers (which I’m sure we’ll all have!).

I’ll be back in a few hours.

During the last part of PFH, when Swen was playing and find his game corrupted ... he pressed escape, and you could still clearly see the scene moving on in background.

So i would dare to presume the answer here is: Nope.

Have a good and save flight, Queen. And thank you for taking the time to answering us.

So we have a full crafting system in place - and the keyring is implemented. This is huge. This is the biggest reveal I have seen since yesterday!

I'd really love to know more about that crafting system if you have any additional info. Blacksmithing? Magic item crafting?

Have a good and flight, Queen!
Can you say, was there an option to change character in dialog to pass checks with right character who has needed skill?

Agreed ...
Feels kinda weird they missed opourtunity to tell us huh?

The whole event felt like they were not so much telling to us, but to the band of bloggers and influencers from the media. It also felt like if the event was time pressured somehow.

They did have numerous technical issues.

Thanks for answering! Much appreciated. Glad you got to have this great opportunity.

Yeah I did see that, but was not sure if that was due to someone multiclassing her or if she just comes that way now per how Larian has written her.

But they spent a bunch of time on spoiler cutscenes and bear sex..?

Thanks very much for the reply.
Personally I'd have preferred keys to disappear once used but the camping supplies pouch will be a godsend on the inventory management front.

And we will want a full report on the bear incident and how you read the room.

I wouldn't call that anywhere near a full crafting system. 'Poisons, elixirs and weapon-coatings' isn't making or enchanting weapons or armour.

yeah, hopefully we can get some additional info on how extensive the crafting system is. I can't imagine they stopped at alchemy and were like "ok, that's good enough"

This is VERY exciting.


Who hurt you? Why so negative? Buck up fella, it's going to be ok.

Look, the preponderance of evidence suggests they were gearing up for a full crafting system as all the elements for it have been included - we got crafting benches and forges and ingots and tools...that there is an actual "Crafting Panel" is pretty darn solid evidence that its a full system.

I imagine a lot of this is also because they want the game to feel fresh and surprising when it comes out.

I also see no reason to reveal every little detail or system that is included in the game. I don't think it is going to sell more copies for them or anything like that - nor will it make the game more or less fun when it comes out.

Forums are here to chat about stuff and it is fun. But we are three weeks out from release. A bunch of dorks getting upset on Larian forums because they don't know if every system was fixed/changed/included has very little impact on the overall perception of the game, success of it, sales or how those people will think of it when they actually play it.
