@Ruin Explorer the way I read the article announcing this, the companions aren't going to be the main characters of this new story. It will be an enitrely new, low level party in a Baldur's Gate where the Absolute was just defeated. The compaions will be relegated to NPC/cameo status. Seems...

My group had a blast with it. Set in Faerun. 2024 rules. No issues. Wizard was almost killed outright due to Str drain in one of the first encounters. Burned inspiration and a luck point to prevent it.

I consider TLoU to be fantastic. But I’m not a person who gets all stuck on annon when a game or book is adapted to a different medium. And as for Larian, my understanding is that the story we got had a lot of help from the early access players pushing them in a different direction from where...

Ooops, duplicate post.

I hope that the Netflix show still goes and that it does do the DaDHat thing. Love the movie and would love to see that tone in a show as well.

Give it’s HBO, it’s probably required to keep the tone. HBO’s prime audience loves its sex and violence :)

I don’t say this lightly, because I know it’s a lot of money, but BG3 is good enough to justify $500 to buy it with a used system to play. I’ve put in 1,000 hours into it and have no plans to stop playing it anytime soon. Wife and I are on our 4th play thru together and I’ve done 6 on my own...

I’m guessing ‘28 would be the earliest this could debut, more likely ‘29. Gods I’m excited for this. I gave up on the GoTverse two episodes into HoD when I couldn’t stand the blankness and cruelty of that setting anymore.

How close in power is Switch2 to the PS5? Cause it gets clunky on a standard PS5 and anything less would probably be trouble, especially in Act 3.

Well, I’d argue that those three threads would make for entertaining TV even for the uninitiated 😁 Besides the article suggests that the main characters of the show will be a lower level party, with the Heroes from BG3 getting the NPC treatment.

People get upset about anything. Doubt it will be a big deal. I think you are right about the good endings, plus maybe a redemption Durge who sacrificed himself instead of a Tav. Probably the cleanest way to do it.

Think it’s an inspired choice to have it take place immediately after BG3 ends. I suspect the Netflix show will be more PG-13 DaDHAT like in tone while this aims more MA like the game. With the popularity of BG3, I could see this finally recapturing the audience of peak GoT for HBO. Biggest...

I went last year as well and would echo your thoughts on all of it. If it was a new experience this year, I’d go again. If it was BG3 themed I’d probably go twice! Not sure how they missed that tie in

Fun show! Was never a fanatic about Stranger Things (even though it hit all my nostalgia buttons having grown up riding bikes and playing D&D with my friends in a small town in the 80s) but watched each season as it came out. Thought they nailed the ending and loved that they spent so much...

Ah got it. Jedi Survivor seems like a good comp for what they are talking about for this game, so I guess I just conflated it. Still hopeful for a fun game!
