Honestly, I have no specific memories of the Dragon Age story.

Baldur's Gate 3 |Early Access OT| Rolling the Dice

Want to make sure this isn't a real bad bug.
There was an issue I had in the temple, when I was killing the leaders where it would trigger the entire temple to attack me, and what I mean is that each room did not get it's own encounter, literally every goblin in the temple would queue up in the current battle and start running towards the back of the temple where I killed the leader that was messing with the dead mindflayer.
It's supposed to be like that if you only attack the boss, yeah. The loading screens warns about this. You are supposed to kill the leaders separately and in each room and save the druid before killing the boss.
she also gives you the antidote so pretty unnecessarily vindictive
did she? she never gave me it. wtf.
also i did fail a die roll. so i guess maybe that was when i could have gotten it.
If you manage to force her into it, which isn't a given. See previous page for dice roll examples.
Also if you snoop around the room and use the runes in search of a way out, she'll eventually attack you.
If you fail the dice rolls she doesn't so you either need to steal it from her or kill her.
Individual characters have clearly defined personalities, each with their own personal "hooks"
The larger narrative starts out with clear stakes, but is hinting at something deeper and more mysterious in play
The smaller hubs are interesting, though sometimes a little bit "generic" in terms of goals and quests
The lore is DEEP - which isn't surprising since The Forgotten Realms have been around since the freakin' 60s.
So, yeah, it's still early days for Act 1, but I'd say so.
I think I failed the rolls but after a while she gave it to me anyway, didn't have to force her. I was getting ready to attack her with the rest of my party that I snuck in when she just handed it over.
also that disarming a chest is a slight of hands DC but lockpicking is just a bar moving
i'm so used to 3e and lower i still don't know what a player/dm is meant to do for lock picking in table top 5e. is it a slight of hands check?
fake edit: oh okay it's to do with thieves tools and adding proficiency, hmm.
It's a D20+Dex mod+proficiency (if you have it), but god knows what Larian is using currently.
May the gods spare me from that. I don't even know how that was supposed to work in PnP back then.
d100 i guess
never played any 2nd edition thankfully, those were just the books/rules available at the time. i played 1st edition which i imagine was even more convoluted, before moving on to and actually playing 3rd.
There's good ones and bad ones. WH40k has me covered.
I was really wanting to play a Bard, that'll probably be my full playthrough character when the game reaches 1.0.
I regret playing Wizard in the EA. 3 party members are already casters and most of the gear you find aren't for casters so it made looting really boring.
some game the webdm guys played had a gore/injury table written by an ex medic or something. eek
i think i got mostly swords, daggers, axe and bow, and one staff.
actually some other cool stuff that i haven't really looked at yet.
Just a pilfering murder hobo.
there's a convoy you can find of theirs that got jacked and a noble woman asks you to save an artist they caught I don't know whether those organically lead to the hideout tho. I just stumbled across it and persuaded them to not be mean.
there's some good wizard's loot but a big issue is that the staffs I found didn't even do anything because they predicated hitting with them a bunch.
stuff I found
several robes, staffs and a trinket that buffs magic missiles
Do humans unlock anything from level up?
I mean if it's anything like DOS2 that doesn't mean shit. I would go to click on people all the time and have them move only for me to pick up some red shit behind them and piss everyone off.
I can't even count the number of times I did that in DOS2 and I barely played it.
It's a tablet you use in the Nettie's surgery room. Leads to some loot (a nice robe if you're playing a mage).
Yeah I forgot that he promises you stuff for saving halsin you could already have taken.
Are you asking if GOG gives a bigger cut? As far as I know they do not its the standard 30%. You will have to buy on Epic to give the dev a bigger cut.
I don't think Larian have any direct purchase options.
Naughty :P
But yeah I need to explore more I missed alot of stuff.
there are war drums in several places. When you aggro a group, one of them is going to run to it. If they use it, all the enemies become hostile
This game is awesome, got some game breaking bugs about 2 hours in though. To be expected, going to play around more after more updates.
Im very curious to see how Larian is going to respond to the feedback.
For example, ive seen a strong consensus over how ground effects not making sense for DND rules.
I also want to know how diverse will builds be able to get, and if there are post launch plans to add expansions

In the run that went smoothly all the enemies were hostile but I could engage them in separate encounters based on the rooms they were in. The other instances they were running through several rooms to get to me, so basically it was like the entire dungeon was attacking me in one giant encounter.
Yeah but it's super easy to miss click on environmental objects. They are all over the place. This was some srto of fishing pole or something liek that just lying on the ground next to the guy.
Larian should brush up on their writing skills a bit more before that IMO.
Not like current Obsidian could do it...especially with all the stuff about Chris Avellone, damn shame he turned out to be so terrible.
Also, I really hope the map is bigger than this. Makes it feel smaller than BG1 and 2. I do like what I've seen and explored but yeah.
i'm not even talking about a sequel to torment just a new game in that setting (sigil specifically), i like their writing fine anyway, though torment is definitely a tall order in that regard
