I guess I better finish the first one and actually play the second then.

Same. I still have the second and Shadows of Amn on disc in the original cardboard retail boxes. I feel bloody ancient now :lol:

Some more gameplay.



With due caution and a few remaining concerns... this is starting to look good. It feels like they’ve found their feet, and it’s not entirely like a Divinity game anymore.

This is the first time I’ve been a little bit excited about BG3.

Getting myself properly in the mood with a BG & BG2 replay :)

As far as this game goes though I've not followed it particularly closely - besides seeing that it's Larian and thereby knowing I'll definitely be buying it - does it follow the same Bhaalspawn story of the previous games, or is it something completely separate? I've become quite attached to the douchey swashbuckler I've been playing as :lol:

They've said that it will tie into the Bhaalspawn story, but I get the impression that it's very much its own thing. I expect them to be related stories rather than directly linked.

Ah, cheers. Looks like I'll be making an all-new douchey swashbuckler :lol:

BG3 is looking exceptional to me, I just wish they weren't releasing it in early access. I only really want to play the finished product, and I suspect that I'll see half of it on Reddit before that's possible.

This looks great. Original Sin 1 and 2 are really up there among my favourite recent releases and this only looks to be expanding on the style further. I think the combat system in OS2 is one of the best in any turn based RPG.

I hate early access story based games though. I'll be waiting for a definitive edition a year or two after full release.

Not sure where I'll stand on the EA, I feel like it could be fun to just play the first act or whatever while trying out different classes. It will probably largely be dictated by price, I suspect.

Both EA periods helped them make the two Original Sin games even better so I'm OK with it. I never got wind of any of the plot of the two OS games so I think I will be OK with BG3. I might buy it in EA if it is launched at a reduced price.

Yep and the implemented some things that was brought up in EA. I'll be snapping it up as soon as I can to play with a friend as we both love the deepness to their games in co-op. It's very easy to skip info pertaining to anything about it in the meantime :)

I want to be excited about this game but i am very worried they will turn it into real world politics platform rather then just making a good story and gameplay
