Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Latest News Pre-Patch Announcement

Maybe control Shadowheart when initiating the convo? IDK, I'd like to know too

Well for me Ars Technica is one of the better video game news sites out there, and especially as compared with such garbage sites as RPS.

Best trap in the game: let Volo perform eye surgery on you 😂

I mean, IF you know anything about Volo...
Though I think BG3 tried to show that he could have removed it if it was a normal tadpole, but things are different. Like with good ol Auntie.

You know, I was having the same issue with this encounter. "Lae'zel, what is our mandate. To get the weapon. Wait! You were on the ship? Ah. You must have the weapon because no one else got off that ship AND we must kill you now. Dragon, kill them and take it...I...wait what? Oh, we have to leave to tell everyone we have found the item. Hmmm. Oh well. I know its our mandate and all and my dragon could just kill them all in a moment and take it, but... SEE YA"

Reminds me of Screen Rant's "Pitch Meeting" series!


Director: "And there's a dragon that blows the bridge up and looks really intimidating."
Publisher: "But why doesn't the dragon just turn the party into barbeque?"
Director: "Because the script says so."
Publisher: "Oh, ok! That's nice."

A bit later, in the hands of a minmaxer:

Publisher: "Aren't they going to struggle though?"
Director: "No, it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience!"

Not that it really means anything, but just for the record I was checking an update Fextralife published on Youtube about how they are going to stream and comment this PFH 3 live:


It seems to imply that they are already aware of at least some of the changes being introduced and they also sound fairly happy about them.
Hope I'll be able to share the enthusiasm when they reveal them.

That is giving me a bit more hope.

Prolly adding the rest of the soft core porn

I thought that it would be nifty if that could be used to get the hag-kissed eye out.

Patch 5 notes leaked :

- The UI script will now work as intended. It will display the new UI for everyone and recognize tuco's PC to make extra sure he can still play around with Patch 4 UI. He seemed to like it.

Can we just get more areas to explore?

Oh and found an oddity. I uncovered Kaghas shadow affiliation and freed Halsin. Halsin was back in the grove and no one cared to have a look at my proof.

and a lil request, the cantrips like thaumaturgy and whatever it was called +1d4 to skills, they kinda need to be active at all times. If present. Or we can keep jumping out of discussions to cast spells. But it is a bit annoying.

Another weird thing. Stole the statue and gave it to the kids thief guild, then bought the artifact back. But the later dialogue indicated it was stolen. Like the kid has no idea she sold it 3 seonds earlier for a few gold coins? Also found no place to do anything with the evil moon-witch statue (owlbearcave) in the former evil moon-witch temple nowadays home of goblins.

Something I am terrified about is that IF they actually read our comments, are there users they know by name because of how many times or what they've commented...?

I'd like it if we could activate it mid Conversation, BUT only can activate one in the middle. So it'd reward preparedness but we don't really have to exit at the same time.

In my past life in the Air Force as a developer, we had one end-user at our base (John) who had a habit of literally pounding the keys as typed, to the point of breaking his keyboards. We added a bit of code to send him a message about every half-hour "Please stop hitting me so hard John!"......

Be terrified

I'd be perfectly fine, even happy, to be known within Larian circles as "that guy" wrt the things I want changed/improved in BG3. As I've said before, BG1 was my intro to cRPGs, and the BG franchise has a very special place in my heart. So I *want* to be able to love a game named BG3, and it kills me that thus far I cannot.

Stop dreaming, just like me you're blacklisted since march 2020

I was about to say it. We are ALL soft banned at larian xD

Well that is how we do it if we do it now. By choosing another person while in a conversation. Same lil buttons on the side as for initiating trade with non-traders.
And while using the other person, the other person can cast such spells on the person with a dialogue sticking out of them. Select the dialogue person and you are back in with the effct activated.
