what do you mean exactly? cause I've been spoiled rotten with cRPG quality in the last few years and have had plenty time to playThe game genres I love are not made for people with my lifestyle anymore. Sad.

They actually made a fully 3rd person rpg once
Not well received by critics at the time, but many consider it a hidden gem nowadays.

i mean, its really a a matter of how long it'll take to beat them. I remember playing DOS2 with friends and took us 2 years to finish it (though the problem was largely having opportunities to get all friends together to play). Some other games i played alone, it wasn't unusual for me to take months.I mean the vast size of them. The quality is undeniable.
Arpgs do tend to get repetitive, some people even like them because of it, returning to a familiar gameplay loop to let off some steam. Its a matter of taste really, I imagine a lot of people grew up watching movies that could be finished in a weekend, then maybe one TV series or another thats coveniently sliced up and designed in ways that makes them watchable through long periods of time, that can be safely forgotten about and picked up again without issue.Jealous of folks who have the patience for a game like this. Somehow after playing arpgs (eg Diablo) I find these games too slow/boring. How do I get into something like this or is it a lost cause for someone like me?
It's the same game really, just with less goofy writing.For everyone who payed early access, how similar is it to the Divinity games?

There's ALREADY a mod to play the game with an extended party (up to 8 characters).Fortunately DOS2 had a mod that allowed you to increase the number of party members

I think its very likely they'll make one for this game too. I imagine it may cause some balancing issues, but nothing a higher difficulty won't solve.
I think its that they just want to balance the game for a 4 character party. So basically its their way of telling players 'play with a 6 party sized team at your own risk, we don't take responsibility'.There's ALREADY a mod to play the game with an extended party (up to 8 characters).
I played half of my EA playthroughs with a party of 6.
I still would have preferred if Larian did us a solid and added the option natively, rather than having to rely on "hacks".
Party Size Updated
Support ends.But i let this Mod online for an Alternative method.This one works only till u dont leave Nautiloid.Use this Mod. its easyer.https://www.nexusmods.com/baldurwww.nexusmods.com
It's an argument that went on for three years on their official forum.I think its that they just want to balance the game for a 4 character party. So basically its their way of telling players 'play with a 6 party sized team at your own risk, we don't take responsibility'.
I'm playing a Core playthrough of BG EE right now, and I have a good 50 hours in EE.................it feels very, BG like.I’m really hoping it really is a Baldurs Gate game and not Divinity 3. Already preordered on Steam and the characters creator looks rich.

I mean, it will be. In a month as it actually releases.I haven't given this a single gaze since the early asses juicy dook but I now see an August release date for the PC.
Is this actually 100% finished good to go?
Just trying to make sure this game is actually done at the release date and they aren't planning a 'roadmap' to add in the rest of the stuff which didn't make the deadline.I mean, it will be. In a month as it actually releases.
I'm not sure I understand the question.
Well, the game was always and ONLY going to be done at release.Just trying to make sure this game is actually done at the release date and they aren't planning a 'roadmap' to add in the rest of the stuff which didn't make the deadline.
Those ain't exactly exemplary on PC either tbhPathfinder WotR is an example. Pillars 2 etc
Last time I checked the quickest speedrun in EA was 7 minutes. So if you want to rush through the game here's your model to follow.So even if you just blast through the main story its still going to be 75-100 hours long? Well I guess the game is a pass for me then. I don't have the time or patience for this kind of experience nowadays.
What type of play through hours did you expect?So even if you just blast through the main story its still going to be 75-100 hours long? Well I guess the game is a pass for me then. I don't have the time or patience for this kind of experience nowadays.
This is me also - Got my 3080 and C1 OLED in the lounge, lapdesk for KB+M, but controller for games tbh....prefer it.Controller support coming on launch so i might go for PC version afterall
Im the same way. I think they often require way too much commitment and the stories are often too wordy for my tests. What I really like about turn based games like Baldurs Gate is that they require to be deliberate in your actions in battle. The story is great too because you have a lot of freedom that effects the outcome of how things play out in the world.What is it that people like about CRPGs? I see Baldur's Gate III and it seems like something I should be excited about, given the legacy of the series. At the very least, I know what the series is. In the past, I've played both Divinity: Original Sin and Pathfinder: WotR, and while I've enjoyed the first few hours of both (setting up strategies to wipe out enemies in D:OS was pretty fun), I could never really stick with the games in favor of something else I was in more of a mood to play.

Funny you bring up Wizardry, as I had (half-jokingly) suggested to a streamer looking for something to play, that they should play one of these games next. I did so knowing how virtually the entire series has some bullshit for the player to suffer through. Also, going by that screenshot, I imagine there's some fine spritework in that particular entry alone, because that's some really good detail.
It really is just some degree of commitment . Its kinda like reading a thick book.What is it that people like about CRPGs?

Btw, I think it's the Playstation 1 version of Wizardry 1 depicted here.Funny you bring up Wizardry, as I had (half-jokingly) suggested to a streamer looking for something to play, that they should play one of these games next. I did so knowing how virtually the entire series has some bullshit for the player to suffer through. Also, going by that screenshot, I imagine there's some fine spritework in that particular entry alone, because that's some really good detail.
The sheer difficulty in Wizardry makes me think of The Plutonia Experiment for Doom II, if only because there's a point where I have to laugh at how hard the game is trying to kill you, which ends up being fitting (could almost say "realistic") in a fantasy setting. That drives home the DnD comparison made earlier by Fools idol . I'm also thinking to why I liked Etrian Odyssey and how I got into that. And Jagged Alliance 2.
Checking this thread, I found that I had Divinity: Original Sin installed, so I may give that another whirl tonight. I'll also look into Wasteland 3, given that it's only $7.99 on Steam right now.

For Wizardry, might as well go with 6-7-8 Trilogy which runs fine in modern PCs. Got the GoG versions I think.you may as well pick up DOS 2 while its on sale, because the quality jump from the original to 2 is giant.
I consider D:OS 2 to be the finest turn based combat system in a cRPG of all time. It's that good.
For those wondering, the playstation ports of Wizardry played via an emulator on pc is the way to go for playing them in 2023. far easier than trying to get the PC versions to work on modern systems/
Larian said the game is designed to be played in chunks like Act after Act.Long game. Sounds like something I'd play in chunks, looking for logical breaks in the story.
Controller support coming on launch so i might go for PC version afterall
