GBU_28, (edited ) do games w I am LOVING Baldurs Gate 3

Loving the game as well but the character creation is kinda limited. Everyone turns out sounding like a Shakespeare actor, and looking too prim and proper.

I understand why that is, a game as large as this would be impossible to make with the range of voice variety I’m hoping for. Unrealistic on my part.

That said, the game is incredible, and as long as you accept what the character creator gives you, the models and faces look great

verysoft,

Yeah, was expecting a lot more from character creation, but it's just the same as DOS2. I mean most of the game is just DOS2, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, DOS2 was awesome. Just do yourself a favour and get this mod, it makes the game much more playable.

My first dude was a Dragonborn and that was my thought with the voice options, too. My dragon doesn’t sound like a dragon. He actually sounds like me, IRL.

@riskable@programming.dev avatar

Yeah that’s the one thing severely lacking: Character screen voices. There’s only 8 of them!

They should put out a call to the community to make more and hold a silly contest where the winners get their voices into the game. All Larian has to do is release the scripts and provide somewhere for folks to upload the audio files.

They don’t even need to listen to 99% of them themselves! Just let the community listen to them and vote. Then Larian will only have to listen to like the top ten or twenty and they can have a second round where contestants are given instructions to “fix” certain audio files or whatever (e.g. to make them shorter or longer to match the cut scene timing).

Rhynoplaz,

That would be a fun idea! Probably a lot more difficult to implement than we imagine, but if I had the time, I’d totally record some voice lines going to get in a game I enjoy!

SCB,

Dunno why this is downvoted. My half-orc barbarian sounds like a schoolboy and it is weird.

Perfect is the enemy of good but I’d love a PC chatter mod.

RickyWars, do gaming w If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?

Always GOG. While I’ve loved Steam for years and still do, I’d rather have a stronger ownership over my games.

Faydaikin, (edited ) do gaming w What is up with Baldur's Gate 3?
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

I don’t think I have a lot to add to what was already said here.

But I will say that the Baldurs Gate series already had a pretty big following. It had an established fan-base, like Fallout. But unlike Fallout, Larian chose to stick with what people liked about the originals and expand upon that.

So there’s another tiny reason to add to the collective.

Jotain, do gaming w I don't want to "Press any key to continue" to the main menu
@Jotain@suppo.fi avatar

There was (is?) a requirement from Sony and Microsoft about how long a game can take to load as part of the game licensing process. One of the ways it is measured is by counting time from game boot to how quickly the game can react to user’s keypress. A “press start to continue” screen is the most simple thing you can load that passes this requirement. After that the game can do heavier operations such as loading save data, checking DLC or pulling latest messages from online server without having to worry too much about how long these operations take.

EvaUnit02, do gaming w Rant: Frustration Related to Ethics of Games Companies
@EvaUnit02@kbin.social avatar

I'm a former game dev and I can tell you, at least from my experience, there was no golden age where developers and customers were treated fairly. It's the primary reason why I left. Hell, I once interviewed at a place that showed off how the offices had beds in them, as if that was a selling point.

That said, I'd probably be someone who you'd consider "doesn't care about the bad things these companies did." I'm just too fuckin' old to be mad about shit all of the time. If I was only going to patronize folks and companies who matched my own set of ideals and ethics, I would be more than just gameless. I would be homeless and penniless as well.

What I do is simply detach products and services from those who provide them. I can buy a thing from a person I find distasteful. I don't have to invite them out for a drink and I certainly don't have to avoid taking them to task for their poor or unethical behavior. Moreover, ethics and behavior are saleable. If someone comes around who offers something comparable to something from someone I find distasteful, then I can go patronize the new person instead. I have jumped ship from many service and product providers for that very reason. If you want my business, then you better ensure you're either the only person who can provide what I want or ensure you're the person I want to buy from.

I didn’t fast travel except all the treks to and from High Hrothgar. That got old quickly.

Unrealistic loot.

Like when you kill a wolf and get shotgun shells as loot.

But also more subtle stuff like enemies in a remote place that don’t carry or have any kind of food and drink with them.

And when the enemy is clearly carrying a weapon, but it’s not lootable and you get some random stuff instead.

ArsonButCute,

I think shotgun slugs would be good loot from a werewolf, but they should be a junk item or a crafting item to combine with gunpowder and casings to make new ammo, not ready to use shells that’s just silly why does a werewolf have those?

Devial,

Reminds of the old pile of gold (empty) meme

Vupware,

In Hades II, there is a zone which has sentient gold bag enemies and flood littered with gold. Neither of these things provide you gold apart from standard drop rates.

Only having one master audio slider. Please at least give me one for music, voice, and sound effect mixing separately.

It’s too bad there are no private servers like Turtle, Ascension, or Epoch. It would really suck to be able to play an enhanced version of classic wow for free.

Yep. What an absolute shame that they don’t exist…

Yesss that was so good lol.

It’s possible I’m thinking of another game entirely on the other thing. Haha

Also a certain obsession with containers, if I recall correctly.

And at some point Kim mentions the detective’s surprising endurance (especially given his physical and mental state) which allows him to keep running tirelessly all over the place.

Spoilers about the later.Turns out Harry was a gim teacher before being a cop, and still has some good health from that time, despite everything that he did to himself after.

Famko,

That was during the dream sequence at the end, no? You can even correct the character saying that they’re not lists, but trees or something like that.
