Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Latest News Community Update #24: Looking To The Future

Oh yeah, no worries, bro. I think I understand what you're saying, Thorvic. You're harsh sometimes, but from what you've mentioned, it's really because you LOVE the game so much, right?

And YEEEESSSSSS: I will most DEFINITELY give it a try at being Super Evil Scumbag (XD lol) Dark Urge on my next playthrough. I'm aaaaaaalmost finished w my current "nice good guy" playthrough.

So tell me, do you think crunch culture within the game industry is a good thing? Do you think its a healthy thing that produces the best quality work?

The question wasn't for me, but sure, it's not only unhealthy, but also totally unproductive. On the contrary, the amount of bugs you introduce increases exponentially with the overtime you're doing, which leads to more overtime and so on.

But Larian is the Studio and Publisher of this thing and they are setting their own deadline. If it's not quite finished, just don't release it.

Yup.. haha
Im kinda old nowadays and This game bro.. Gave me a Feeling that i never felt in almost 10 years of gaming.. not joking..
the only other games that gave me a Similar Feeling was Witcher 3, Persona 5, Soulsgames (Dark souls, DS3, Bloodborne..)
can say some older games too but its Different.. things were less complex back then.
and i really wish this game to Became the Full Masterpiece he can be..
Just lacking in 2 parts.. in my opinion like a said act 3, endings (in the hero Path)
and when yu Play act 1,2 man thats so Brutal and from other world.. that act 3 fall short. compared from the rest.. thats the worst part..
(and im not Joking.. Even when i Tried to Force the F. Game to Make events to Run same way.. the game slaped me in a face and say No.. i will do things a litle bit different this Time.. Crazy shit. and i tested a LOT>>> all party combinations and companions.. the ones i tested the less becouse i notice they always broke my game pretty hard was Wyll and Karlach then i didant dive too Deep becouse the game always broke pretty bad.)

what can i say more ?
this game its so Crazy in act 1,2 that even if yu try to follow a Step by Step of one of my Games i Bet shit will go Unique for Yu.. thats for yu to actually understand what act 1,2 of this game is..
this really blew my mind and my Jaw went to the flor.. im still catching the pieces till this day.. and thats wy i tested so much already of this game..
becouse evry time he keeps trowing new unique stuff at me..hauhauhauhauha
(played so much already and still getting new Stuff.. like today.. i was making a Game and during the Grove post Party Laezel just say to me that she will go F. with astarion becouse i only have eyes for Shadowheart.. ok game ok.. thats new.RS)
i dont get to see ok.. but she even confirmed that she went all out with him in the next day when i chat with her..haha

LOL!! LOL!! LOL!! LOL!! LOL!! (I laughed so hard when you said: "OK, game, ok... that's new.") I know, too bad we don't get to see it, hahahah. Not sure where you're from, but in Brazil/Portugal (where I was born and grew up), we have an expression that fits Lae'zel perfectly: Lae'zel "é foda pra caralho." Which basically means she is super badass - but the direct translation is full of swearing bad words and sex innuendo, which 100% fits what you were saying about her. LOL!

And yes, the game keeps surprising me with new things as well. Every time I think I know and have seen everything, the game is like: Nope, check THIS out!

I agree, the last time I was this exceedingly happy/amazed/surprised by a video game was in 2015 with Witcher 3. Divinity Original Sin 2 came close, but BG3 is just.... I mean I think it transcends the genre and type of game that it is. I wouldn't worry: when the game gets all completely patched, and gets a Definitive Edition (and hopefully some DLC or expansion), it's going to be the closest thing to a perfect RPG that humanity has ever seen.
