Amazing support from an amazing studio!!!
nom nom nom how does their dck taste? They ruined your savegame with crashes and now they rolled back the update so you cant load your save game, i repeat PEOPLE PAYED FULL PRICE TO PLAYTEST THIS IN EARLY ACCESS.
Larian sucks.
Change hobby or get help!
me “most of aaa games are woke crap” you “yes true true” also you “change hobby or get help”
wtf?
I can help you if you want
with what?
With wokism. I can gift you bg3 so you get fixed.
nononononono i dont want to touch this disgusting degenerate cringefest of a game.
Not really seeing the contradiction here. But you where talking about bugs in this particular convo, not woke crap.
well it is very buggy people have quests not working properly till this day.
So was Vampire Bloodlines, just focus on the woke crap, bea***ality and out of place diversity, because you are scrapping the bottom of the barrel complaining about bugs.
and vampires bloodlines also sucks and is buggy till this day but at least it made you feel like a vampire in a vampire world, i guess you would say baldurs gate makes you feel like you play a dnd larp since nothing is taken seriously and everyone is a g*y h*rny fg.
Vampire bloodlines sucks… but in a good way, since it is the best vampire rpg there is. Can’t say you suck the same tough.
“i guess you would say baldurs gate makes you feel like you play a dnd larp since nothing is taken seriously and everyone is a g*y h*rny fg.”
The fck you are even trying to say here? At least be accurate with the insult, the npc’s are bisexual or playersexual, so the player can romance anyone it feels like. But it is true in a sense that the devs favor pozzitivity and player choice and not immersion, i don’t feel like pirating this game and i don’t even have the luxury of playing rpg’s nowadays.
“i don’t feel like pirating this game and i don’t even have the luxury of playing rpg’s nowadays.”
then why you waste my time with nonsense?
Because i don’t have time to play rpg’s.
If you are too stupid to pay full price for early access and also play a game on release, then that’s a you problem. BG3 is a complex RPG, with hundreds of hours of content, so some bugs are expected.
“if you are too stupid to do what the devs told you” is a weird take.
Umm, yes? Don’t trust people so willingly, they lie, cheat, steal, etc.
no its not hundred of hours, its about 35-45h to do everything. Im 30h in and im in middle of ACT3 and iv done all not bugged quests.
Its overhyped and overblown by people that never played any rpg before thinking AC:Origins is rpg game…
Its smaller then DA:O, it has less choices, it has just good or evil solution to any quest nothing more no matter what you do. Some quest lie to you about how they can be resolved, like killing 3 commanders in goblin camp, druid suggest you can do it stealthy as there is no need to kill everyone but you cant, you HAVE to kill everyone in camp anyway as killing orc leader always triggers aggro on all goblins. It also constantly crashes and has more bugs then cyberpunk past ACT1. Its good game solid 8/10 but its not what people hyped it to be.
The goblin situation is probably a bugged quest. Again, why are you playing a complex game on release date? Don’t downvote me for telling the truth.
“its about 35-45h to do everything.”
Still plenty of content, adding different paths and customization you can double that, and there can be probably expansions down the line. I stand corrected.
i dont care about this game, but daily reminder people payed full price to playtest this.
BG1&2 are in my top 5 games of all time. I also hate turn base combat system.
It could be the hype, but I think this game is probably the best RPG I’ve ever played, give it a go.
if you like this one, you might larians last game, divinity original sin II.
Bought it on launch, and poured 300 hours into it.
I don’t like turn-based combat, but it doesn’t mean I don’t like turn-based games. I have 300 hours in xcom2, 200-300 hours in wasteland1&2&3, 50 hours in mechanicus, 100 hours in darkest dungeon, and played the sh*t out of fallout 2 and jagged alliance.
I just prefer real-time with pause, and I still think BG3 is a bad sequel, but one of the greatest games ever made.
never played bg 1 and bg2 are they any good. I really like neverwinter nights 1 and 2, and planescape torment.
Forget to say, you need to read a lot.
I’d say you need to read double the amount you did in pillars of eternity if you played that game.
I’m in my 30s, I can’t stand reading or watching cutscenes in games these days.
yeah i did that alot in pillars of eternity so much reading. ps. i’m also in my 30s.
Yes, they’re great. Play them after you’re done with BG3.
I should add, I was a kid when this game came out, and I didn’t like it. I gave it another shot in my teens and I loved it.
The only thing I can tell you is that if these games are for you then they’re for you.
i played dragon’s age and it was boring, i played the first bg game and it was worse ,no thanks. Ill wait for starfield.
to each their own. I think starfield is just going to be fallout 4 but in space. those 1000s plus planets are going to be repetitive radiant quests. I’d prefer about 25 planets that meaningful awesome main, and side quests too.
same. But its gonna have more authored content than any other game they made.
They are boring until you get into them, but you do you booboo.
Starfield could be good, but I feel like it’s going to be a combination of fallout 4 and no man’s sky. Thinking about mining rocks with a laser pp makes me want to throw up.
they both sucked.
you don’t seem to care for any game. whining whining whining its all you care.
not true i dont care for most aaa games as they are all crap woke garbage.
true true
They rolled back this update. Say goodbye to your saves if you don’t have a backup.
you get downvoted for telling the truth…bunch of weird as**s.
Sorry about your saves, but this is what you get for buying a game then playing at release date.
It’s still in a better condition than 95 percent of games that launch these days.
I’d buy it again.
I’m not hating on Larian, just your own stupidity. Those games are very time consuming and wiping a save file of hundreds of hours of play would be a deal breaker for me. Just wait some months.
Hundreds of hours? They rolled this update back within a few hours, what are you smoking?
Waiting for a few months so that devs update a 3-4 years old game out of fear of losing your progress sounds pretty stupid. Not to mention, you can easily back your saves up if you’re this scared.
I mean hundred of hours of playtime, dummy. If you like playing buggy games, up to you, i’m in no urge to play the current thing. Besides, it’s better to wait for a mod that clears out the ugly aesthetics of western dev teams.
3-4 years old game? Early acess don’t count.
Why? o that people like you can win an argument on the internet?
EA’s whole purpose is patching, improving, and optimization.
Sounds like they need to patch some more.
and?
yes
When was BG3 feature complete?
Game is awesome, last game like this was dragon age inquisition
thanks for letting me know it sucks.
Oh, I thought I blocked you years ago. Fixing this
I swear most people seem to hate on gaming just for the sake of it.

I wish sprawl didn’t have those colorful drops.
same
If I can give some advice.
WAIT a little bit more before updating. I have seen quite a large a number of folks saying this update causes the game to crash for them.
This update it hot off the presses. If this update actually causes some crashes should become clear in a few hours.
As I expected, Larian just rolled back Hotfix 4. The Hotfix has only been live for just over an hour, so not that many people should be affected.
The best course of action is to kill Steam/GoG fully (kill in taskbar or task manager), and to restart. That will trigger the reroll.

We’re officially back at Hotfix 3 now. Hotfix 4 has been rescheduled to a later date until further notice.

Hotfix 4 has been redeployed.
The initial Hotfix 4 issue was an extremely rare compiler issue that sneaked its way into the hotfix at the last minute.

Thnx for share.. Very best post. Ty.
Yeah rpg’s are the most degenerate of genres because of the freedom it allows, unless you want to roleplay as Hitler, then suddenly you won’t find this option in those games.
nonsense what freedom you can only do what they let you do.
That’s true for all games genius! rpg’s allow for more choice still.
yes and they only allowed you to have the choices they want
bear s3x ? yes
big boobs? No.
You shoudn’t reply if you agree with my premise. But focus on big boobs is shallow, beautification mods are still allowed, unlike mods that change npc races.
everyone is bisexual in this f*king thing, easy writing for them no soul whatsoever
It’s Dragon Age Inquisition with more degeneracy, same cringe writing and even clunkier gameplay. The new way to get goy to accept indoctrination they would reject is to pretend like the degenerates are against it with fake controversy and to have shabbos goy streamers like asmon (anagram of mason) gold keep it visible every day.
You are being played. This game is sh@^, the writing is mid and cringe Buffy the Vampire level dialogue which is what these losers grew up thinking was the height of fiction (just like the music episode in the new Star Trek) and the gameplay is laughable.
This is a game people are being manipulated into buying and not even playing past the character creation screen where they spend a hour trying to make their male character not look like a flamer and a female character not look like a man.
Expect more reverse psychology tricks to get you to buy things. It’s the only way they can still sell their LBGTB (they screw pets now so add the b) cult.
