there's a trailer: 

there will be illithids but everyone following the rumor knew that, you can only make so many takoyaki jokes before it becomes obvious

it's gonna come out on google stadia 

 

prediction: people are gonna complain it's not the same as the old ones

 

personal take: if it's real time with pause or not fifth edition of dnd, not even touching it

 

at least it's larian studios, who made actual kickass RPG games and not... idk, obsidian or beamdog

Well, technically, there's just a teaser trailer. No actual game. But what ever... we'll see.

World reveal! No real time with pause, thankfully. I'll ignore everything about the actual gameplay because I grew out of top down RPGs like decades ago, so let me focus on one thing: the weird past tense narration of dialogue options is literally the worst dialogue system I've seen in my life. Not even Fallout 4's "Yes/No/Hate Newspapers/Leave" system could beat it

You were right! 

*I made a post on SHS forums, expressing my disbelief at how poorly dialogue options were presented.*

= "I felt sorrow about the times past, realising that what had been would never come back. The things I cherished, gone forever. The anger and the sense of loss fuelled my resentment for the new and different and I felt I should share them to ease my pain."
and = "The fucking dumb idiots were doing shit instead of the right stuff, and I had to make people see that."

and = "That seemed like a very poor dialogue choice design and I decided to see what other people thought about it."

and a hundred other possible ways to read it.

 

See, it isn't all that bad, it lets me role-play any way I want ... even though I don't like it that much either.

Sorry, but this is a Div2 expansion pack, and not a Baldurs Gate 3.

 

I am pretty disgusted by the fact, that it looks so identical to Div2. They didnt even bother to make the UI look like the old games, nor do they have 2D portraits. And if we only have five companions to play with...

 

No, just ... no. This is horrible.
