23 offline game installers at 4gB are you kidding me? who's bandwidth can even afford this on DSL
Like it or not am DoomWiki colleagues from Crystal Dynamics dev labs and this 23 4gB files thing is ludicrous, it's as bad as the virus in The Beatles - Rock Band
I grew up reading the BG books, and am fairly familiar with the lore. This game unfortunately is overpriced D:OS3:Gender Identity Ed. I'm genuinely surprised Larian pushed so much modern ideological concepts into the game. It feels more like you are playing Larian Game Designers self inserts. Instead of the ideologies and philosophical concepts in the game reflecting the BG universe, they reflect modern identity sociopolitical philosophy. The consumer is so tired of identity ideology invading every media format. Thankfully the recent societal push back will tell investors we dont want it. Write a thoughtful gay character, and DONT make their sexuality the primary defining attribute of that character. They should be defined by their character.
Meh. I digress. If you are looking for DOS3 with flavors of modern gender ideology, this game is for you.
Upfront, not played and won't play, for the following reasons...
- On news of release, in the first video describing the project, the apparent disdain of the presenter for the combat system of Baldur's Gate 2 (which appears to now be central to the game), considering the market placement of BG2 even now.
- Paying full price up front for an in development game, it may be so common as to not raise eyebrows, but I can't see an upside about that.
- Use of the 5e system, having played 5e since release, it's okay as a starter for someone new to pen and paper RPG's, but there are many holes within it, and far better systems with far less hassle.
So, once this makes actual release/a completed state, it may be a buy, especially if discounted.
Not before.
We took your game and made it turn-based because it's cheaper.
Haha.
I got burned once with the planescape remake, not falling for it again. This isn't a real Baldur's Gate game it doesn't even resemble it
