Patch 7 can't come soon enough! Apologies for the low quality, I'm unfortunately stuck with my old PC & setup as my primary computer is still getting repaired. Community update link: store.steampowered.com/news/app/1086940/view/4240783699885624491
It sounds like the modding tools are letting people do what modders have already been doing, I guess its just more stability and accessible through the workshop directly
Not just that. Consoles will be able to use the curated mods. Sure, 'basket of clothes' mod won't make it (maybe if the mod maker makes a console version, or maybe the SFW or safe for work version) But useful things, quality of life stuff (looking at you, 'fireproof Karlach mod' lol)
True. When people think of modding alot of people think of Bethesda Skyrim specifically and the modding tools won't be as nearly dynamic as those. You won't be able to write your own quests for example or change existing ones. You won't be able to build new structures for example and a lot of other stuff you would see in Skyrim. Or so that is what I believe. it is disappointing. Imagine if you could go to the selunite cloister that apparently is under siege near Baldurs Gate. That someone could make a mod that allowed you to go there and assist them before you went to Baldurs Gate. Well you can't make that mod because it would break the game flow even though you could make mods like that for Skyrim. I don't really see the modding tools add much that modders haven't already achieved.
Larian: We fixed all these kisses! But you can't kiss Gortash. Not now. Not ever. I'm cackling. You know they'll keep mocking people who want that for as long as they're able.
I'm hoping its a "doth the lady protest too much" type deal and they have some old Gortash hookup files they may one day implement. They did already put those "he did miss this" line in for when Gortash and Durge are interacting then removed it just as quick, so I think there is something there.
I thought her going back to Avernus with the protag was nice. She has to go back to the life she hates, but this time, she brought the one she loves with her.
@@Marc-rk3mi issue is for me, there were so many presented solutions that just got ignored like karlach got ignored most of the final arc. It feels like they neglected giving her a real thought out ending.
@@antiheroz3056they definitely should have at least addressed the iron hand gnome thing, but i think it’s fair to say that because they didn’t it wouldn’t have worked. her stories over🤷♀️
All I want is a romantic scene with Minthara that does not require me to slaughter a bunch of people. Not to mention, said scene is hugely diminished by the fact that Minthara, during that time, is still under the control of the Absolute and does not have full agency of her own actions. There needs to be something there for her romance, just like every other companion has.
They have an opportunity to do a origin story for her too, run it from her point of view moving from moonrise to the grove, purhaps running into the durge and let it play out from there. Perhaps the artifact allows her to go through the "good" direction and not kill the grove, or maybe she just chooses the glory and returns after sacking it. Who knows! Lots of potential though
I genuinely thought they were adding more Minthara romance and dialogue in general, her character needs it more than any other smh. Plus my durge ending didn’t even include her when I was roleplaying taking over the world w her, and she talked about it a lot. Was really expecting her to show up and say something during the ending, instead of a lonely shot of my character. Huge missed opportunity imo
@@babyqeels She doesn't show? How strange. Astarion is shown with you if you romance him and decide to take over the world (he wasn't when I did it originally) it shouldn't be that hard to add Minthy there.
4:58 I love this! when i play an evil play through i like being that sneaky manipulative evil where i agree to a seemingly good task but in the end it would benefit the evil plot. so multiple different evil endings would be amazing for that or the people who do total chaos greed evil.
@@PocketKanin tbh it kind of felt a bit like evil playthroughs didn't have as much to offer currently. Which is fair and their choice, but seeing more potential outcomes seems like it will be rewarding for sure
I would like an evil dark urge romance where you don’t end up as a thrall if you decide to become a vampire personally, that and the option to romance minthara without having to kill the grove, pregnancy endings returning. Just give me flavour man!
@@DukeDanseMacambre You can already romance Minthara without killing the grove a while ago, just knock her unconscious and she’ll show up at moonrise like usual, save her and add her to your party; then all it is from there is to raise her approval high enough until you trigger a dialogue where she asks you to show her what you see her as in your mind. If you choose to see her as a lover than she’ll reciprocate and you can start a relationship, if you’re already in one you can break the other one off or be be a sleez bag and cheat on them a bit with Minthara; Bam you’re now in a monogamous relationship with everyone’s favourite Drow Mommy
I chose durge as a first time player and genuinely wanted them to be a paragon of good will but once they got a taste of power in Act 2 with power over the goblins end my character went down a very dark path being consumed by hunger. It was awsome!
@@analynn8110 tbh that sounds like it would fit well for a male drow who left the underdark as well only to become the very thing he was trying to escape (the blighted and goblin village in particular are a much different experience as a Drow) Or, y'know, a wizard who gets a bit too hyperfixated on magical artifacts Tbh there's so much roleplay potential. Hopefully your next evil run is just as enjoyable
@@somelonelyshmuck4274Same. I almost always play as an evil, sneaky MC, and even when I try to do an "goodie two shoes" walkthrough I just get bored and start new game as Lawful or Neutral Evil, Chaotic Neural at best. I really don't see why so many players are so opposed to being bad. BG3 is the only RPG, aside from like DA Origins, where I can make some truly evil acts, but while the Warden was still mostly driven by good, BG3 actually allows you to be self-serving, ruthless and manipulative villain, and it's SO refreshing and unusual, when game after game you have to walk around with a halo over your head. You are given such a unique opportunity to play as a villain, and you still choose the most boring, good guy run you see in every game? Not for me.
@@Deadpan_Snarker Not everyone enjoys playing a psychopath, what can I say. There is a lot of bad s*** happening in the real word so I want to do some good in my games, because games like BG3 are my escapism. Everybody has their preference.
Since I found a friend that actually live close enough to me and like video games, I can finally enjoy local multiplayer, and I have to say it’s definitely 10 times better than playing online… well it’s hard to fit the basic requirement tho especially for adults
the biggest thing I wish they add is a Ignore coin weight feature because it sucks that you have a lot of gold saved up only to have it weighed down and you can't carry anything else when you have other items that could or should be useful later on in your playthrough idk it's an opinion of mine and I feel like that would be a great feature
I don't know if the dynamic split screen is normal but they DID have it in DOS:2 so I was a little surprised it wasn't in BG3 when I had tried it. Awesome they're finally getting it in.
"Dror Ragzlin will be able to rally the spiders to fight the real enemy - you." 90% of BG3 players: "Lol. Yeh, good luck with that." *keeps stacking explosive barrels near him*
@@desgroid only 2 ???? I had so many Firewine & Smokepowder barrels saturating the area that realistically there should have been a crater left there. Only a couple of the fringe characters left to melee.
Also works wonderfully against the dragon and netherbrain at the end. Sure my entire party was overencombered, and made getting there a fuckin CHORE, but it sure made killing the queen squid a walk in the astral plane
All I want is that "sort by type" actually sorts by type and an item search bar for the camp inventory. I don't know why simply sorting items is still broken and they don't even seem to acknowledge it.
@@Sirawxy More urgent things like redesigning the trading screen with no change in functionality? Also the game still has issues that Early Access players already complained about. I love the game but man, Larian sure is sometimes weird with priorities.
It's strange that they don't mention having recruited both Minthara and Halsin would get fixes... It's clear they were intended to be mutually exclusive, but they still made it simpler to recruit both in a "good" playthrough, but the game still seems VERY confused about what to do with them at camp and during the levelup screen, where having both recruited at once, sometimes results in them only showing up as a floating head! At camp, they just seem to randomly get assigned a tent, which often tends to be the same tent... So half the time, Halsin and Minthara are just sharing a tent when i recruit both of them, because the game looks to be built around a certain arrangement of tents during camp, and they never fully solved the overlap of Minthara and Halsin...
My last playthrough poor Halsin didn't even get a tent. He just sat down on the ground/floor some random spot depending on camping location. Guy looked so sad =\
My favourite is in Act 2 when Minthara evicts Halsin from his own tent but can't stand in front of hers because Oliver is there, so she just becomes part of her table instead. Oliver hangs around her awkwardly and they try to ignore each others' existences, and Halsin proceeds to hobo his way around the entire camp for the rest of the game Despite there being a random blue half-tent that no one eve does anything with that I can recall Once in awhile Halsin spawns right next to Minthara and Oliver, and it looks like a bizarre adopted family scene
I know they've listened to the fans who requested that they both be recruitable but ngl I think they shouldn't have made that possible and just stuck with them being mutually exclusive. I respect Larian for considering what the fans want but I think this is one thing where what the fans want results in some goofiness and immersion breaking moments lol
That 'Photo Mode' is a thing I really look forward to. I can't use the Steam function properly. For some reason it just don't work for me. So, right now I am using *Print Screen' in Window, save the game and launch Photoshop to paste into, save the picture and start BG3 again. A lot of time used on this. And then you can't even be sure if you captured the right moment. A REAL cool Photo Mode would allow you to 'scroll' a few millisecs backward and forward. Like the cutscene when you travel to Grymforge the first time. There's a real cool artistic moment when your character has the back to you and slowly turn around to see the duegar boat arriving. Kind of an ancient Egyptian posture seen from the back. It looks awesome! One of these moments when time stands still. I capture it every time I do this trip. But I don't always grab the exact moment I hoped for (ah,well, getting old and slow...).
On windows 11 my prtsrc button saves right to my screenshots folder now. It was weird that there was always the extra step of pasting it until recently
You should definitely message them that! The going back in time a bit definitely sounds cool, maybe an option to adjust lighting or move the camera around in a scene. The photography possibilities are endless.
@@themarkgrayson I don't remember if it is 'Horizon: Zero Dawn' or maybe 'Cyberpunk 2077' that has one of these fancy built-in screengrabbers. But they exist. I'm completely sure. But I also guess it depends on how the game engine works. The engine has to be able to remember the graphics shown for a few seconds (having them available to be rendered again).
Local co-op isn't usually a thing anymore. But historically, from my recollection if you share the same screen, there's usually a limit of how far you can be from your partner. If it's a split screen, you usually have more freedom, but you only have your part of the screen...
@@cmmosher8035 haha yeah according to lore, apparently Elminster is just constantly having to rescue him or bring him back to life so that Volo can continue his actual purpose in the realm. No wonder Elminster doesn’t seem to like him very much, keeping Volo alive/out of trouble is a full time job 😂
Hey, about kissing Gortash... you gotta play as Durge to know, at least to spin it for your headcanon to work and thus to want to kiss Gortash It is hard to explain tbh
@@MrHulthen I won't spoil, even tho from all the updates you already probably know the gist of it Durgetash ship from the community is a pretty "interesting one", for sure.
I personally think Durgetash is a pile of hot steaming garbage and I hate how annoying its fans are and their attempts to force it into the Durge character sheet. I can look at Astarion, Gale, and Halsin and go "Yeah, I can understand why women would be attracted to that guy", but Gortash? The washed up FF villain reject who forced one of the nicest characters in the game to experience a decade of literal hell and does shit like torture and bomb children? Won't ever get it. Larian made a mistake by acknowledging it at all.
@@mitchcane2352my guess is that female gamers are attracted to Jason Isaac and his performance (voice) more than to the character himself. The character is an irredeemable piece of shit, essentially. You can't really _genuinely_ like a person like this, unless you have similar issues. As a person, who is very close to Karlach in values and worldview and who romanced her on the first playthrough, I'd never forgive Gortash for anything he's done and for what he is.
To be honest I think the only mod I’m interested in seeing added for PlayStation is the one that allows your character to level up to 20 but I don’t think it’s likely that will happen 😢
Yeah, I feel you. Going up to level 20 and being able to edit the appearance of origin party members were the two big mods I wanted, and it looks like neither of those are possible 😭
I want no party limit mod, I want to be able to have all the team wandering around and hearing all the banter. I hate having to decide between characters to take each day
While I love they are improving the game, I'm still confused, why: 1) there is no "merge all" or "merge selected" - doing it manually sucks, 2) there is no way to make the abilities bar even bigger, because on some classes, it's too small, because you have too many abilities.
This is huge! So nice to see them continuing to add QoL features and also brand new stuff. What I really hope we get in the future is a better inventory sorting, as well the search bar inside containers too (bags, crates, barrels, chests), and also being able to organize items by rarity and weapon / armor type.
Can we please get an ending where you get the Emperor and Orpheus to work together? I don't care what kinda roll I need to make it work, just give me an option already.
I heard nothing about fixing getting quest out of order that can not be finished. For example. If you go to the goblin camp first before exploring the grove you can meet and kill Princess Gut. Then when you go to the grove you pick up a quest to find Princess Gut and seek her help. Problem is - you’ve already meet her and killed her. There are tons of bugs like this in the game that revolve around getting quests out of order and there’s no way to resolve them when you do.
Right? When I heard "official modding tools", I was hoping for something along the lines of the custom modules we'd have for NWN1 and NWN2. Imagine building an entire campaign module on the BG3 engine. Now that would be the shit. I'd lose myself completely in it.
All I wanted was a mod that help inventory organization and something for equipment appearence so I could use that hideous dexterity armor without disgust lol
It sounds like they didn't create any new tools to help people do that, but this game has a pretty dedicated mod community so I'm sure someone will figure it out eventually
@bingonight1504 I really think this game could reach Skyrim and Fallout levels of modding community if they supported custom quests and NPC's. The games life could be extended by a decade!
@@BaronSitzkrieg probably not, unofficially there might be something, but for the most part there's not much they can do for adding npcs or quests, let alone new areas.
Since patch 7 isn't the final one, I am curious if they will also do an update for the PS5 Pro when it comes out. It's allegedly coming out later this year.
@user-mu8dm4rk7g While the GPU would be the biggest upgrade, leaks suggest the CPU and RAM will also run faster. The PS5 version of BG3 has Quality and Performance mode. I'd imagine it could have a Pro mode that runs Performance mode with Quality mode graphics. I like how you say "Tell me" like the condescending prick you probably are.
My physical PS5 version finally came in the mail yesterday 😄. And I spent 6 hours playing the game straight with about an hour being in the character creator😂. I don't usually spend more than 10 minutes in character creation. I'm pretty simple when it comes to that stuff but BG3 had so much stuff I had to go through lmao. Great game so far. Already in my top five RPGs of all time. The other ones are the Mass Effect trilogy, Dragon Age Origins, The Witcher 3 and if you count it as an RPG BioShock.
@@user-mu8dm4rk7gthanks I have been. I have a little over 17 hours in it. The hardest decision tho is deciding if I'm going to romance Shadowheart, Karlach or surprisingly lae'zel, I'm liking her more then I thought I would 😂.
The one thing I still want is a way to actually fix her heart without Gale. A long and arduous mission through Avernus to find some super rare metal even better than infernal iron. Maybe even slaying the devil she was sold to for it.
Mods coming to ps5 is suprisingly knowing how Sony gets down- I really hope they can get the subclasses to port over, one thing that I’ve been FEENING for is for bg3 to get new subclasses, and since it seems like Larian is done making new content for the most part, also just because the handful of time I played D&D I played using subclasses that aren’t in the game and those were really fun classes!
Tbh I did kind of like during the ascendant kiss scenes where your character looked visibly scared and then really pissed off, atleast for my durge anyway. cause it felt like he traded in one master (Bhaal) for another one, and through the facial expressions showed the consequences of that. Still, they were so over the top it was fun to laugh at.
PC has split screen too, this is just keeping up with Divinity 2 split screen system which i dont know why it wasnt like this on release but...I didnt mind really, good to know we will get more updates after this
I really hope they finally fix arcane trickster it worked in beta but has been broken since launch and I really don't understand why they would do things like "fixing" kiss animations before that. (The trailer they showed for the "fixed" version still had Shadowheart rubbing her bare teeth on the side of your player model's face 🤦) I love the game but the fact one subclass is completely unplayable because its main gimmick doesn't function- being able to use mage hand to pick locks and and pockets, something that worked in a earlier version of the game is one of the reasons the game sometimes feels unfinished to me
MrHulthen: “Spoilers ahead!” Me who has throughly played through everything except Act 3: “Pffft, it’ll be fine.” MrHulthen: “when he loses his ability to withstand sunlight.” Me: “WHAT”
I reported a game-breaking bug that’s stopping me from advancing my main play through before it’s fixed, I’m not seeing the fix here but I hope it ends up in the final like the dev I messaged said it would. I’ve been waiting for a few months now. The bug is the one where Jahira and the harpers will turn hostile on you for no reason (some suggest it happens if they take any AOE damage, even not from you) after the first boss rush at moonrise tower. There’s not even a “pay your way out of it” or “get knocked out by them”, you just have to kill all of them or knock them all out and get way worse reputations with them or have a game over.
all i want for the game is a steam workshop addition. this game has been different for me every single time ive started a new character and easily accessible mods would add to that replay value even more
Larian is the best thing to happen in the last 10 years of gaming. One patch after another, improvement after improvement! No extra cost, no dlc, no microtransactions. This is a game created by passionate gamers for passionate gamers. Thank you to all who worked and still work in Larian Studios. You are the best!
@@dacksonflux Of course a DLC would be most welcome here, but what i meant with it is, we get a full game and not a game sold to us in pieces. Thats why i respect Larian so much.
I really hope they dont downgrade the graphics even more for us who only play singleplayer. Lighting was definitely downgraded on console for coop stability
IMHO they need to fix AAstarion period, and make it more neutral and with more room for roleplaying. Currently, we have this slave/master dynamics which just gives fuel to Spawn fans that keep bullying Ascendant fans because they can't fathom that we may have different imagination, different roleplay and headcanon. And don't even get me started on the game (and the community) thinking that *the only* reason we Ascend him is because we don't pay attention to his story or treat him like sexy vampire dom daddy. It can be the case for some, but others, myself included, look at the world PRAGMATICALLY. I am fully aware that Spawn is the most "therapeutic" ending where he tries to "heal" (but then again, I have no idea how one is supposed to "heal" living all his immortal life in one of the most dangerous places in the universe, forever scared of sun and remaining a slave to hunger, but ok) but a lot of others think pragmatically and rationally, and ascend him because this is the most *reasonable* choice that makes him both safe and powerful.That's it. The dialogue options with AAstarion are so piss-poor, not only making him sound like Disney villain, but also making my MC some lustful Harley Quinn wannabe, which completely ruins how I picture their dynamics and why I ascended him in the first place. Not for hot vampire daddy.
@@Deadpan_SnarkerFrankly I ascended him because I thought it better to have one vampire, rather than the ridiculous amount locked up, free. It was the logical decision.
@@Deadpan_Snarker Ah yes! I couldn't agree more, I have a special place in my heart for ascended Astarion as that is the route I took on my first play-through for the reasons that I didn't feel having him ascended really justified a bad ending. I get that they were trying to have an “end the cycle of abuse” storyline with spawn Astarion but it could have been done better because choosing to sacrifice 7,000 ravenous feral vampire spawn who we believed would off Astarion next chance they get from Sebastian’s interaction with him, sacrifice his vampire spawn siblings who it's implied bullied him all the time by the way they speak to him and having him ascend would mean he could live life on his terms (in the sun) instead of with the curse of traditional vampirism that Cazador gave him seemed like the better option for him to heal. The Spawn ending is really bittersweet if you think about it, yes we get softy Astarion but he had to give up what he wanted most to save people who were kinda awful. With the feral vampire spawn and his vampire step-siblings, I don’t know if they even deserved to be saved, yes Sebastian sends a nice letter to you at the epilogue but what about all 6,999 other vicious vampire spawn? And we hear nothing from his evil vampire step-siblings. I agree his Ascended storyline needs work. I am very glad they are fixing his kiss animations though as I was very upset when I saw what we got for him in the Valentine's Day patch, only one new kiss for spawn Astarion and the rest for his ascended route which felt like a complete rewrite of his character, making him more evil but cartoonishly so.
@@Deadpan_Snarkerascended astarion is a disney villain. choosing to stay in a relationship with him makes you weird and harley quinn pilled. theres nothing to fix.
Can you do a tutorial on playing split screen on PC in 2024? Include things like multi-monitor setup and using keyboard and mouse. Most the things I find when searching are dated and either do not work or heavily bugged. I have used nvidia control panel to span displays for a multi screen experience and I have attempted to use a couple of different emulators for keyboard and mouse. I wish either Larian or a modder would fix these issues.
This is why I've abandoned bioware and became a larian fan they are just cool And besides they are basically bioware back in the day when they made actual rpg games instead being action adventure wannabes
i still have faith in Veilguard mainly because Patrick Weekes has been with Bioware since Mass Effect 1 and starting with Mass Effect 2 has always written the best part of each game written by him.
I think I’m an anti combined split screen. It takes away control from the second player and can be awkward when it suddenly snaps away. Just keep it constantly split.
Guys we most not forget that they can update the mod tools later in the future if they choose to they’ve been surprising us thus far I’m sure they can do it!!!
Well by now you may have heard that Larian considered presumably trying to do Fallout or Ultima if they didn't the rights to Baldurs Gate from WOTC. I use the term presumably because I don't see Todd Howard giving them permission and he would have had to approve it. Despite what he says and what people associated with Obsidian say Felix Urquart specifically I don't believe them. I think there was bad blood between Obsidian and Bethesda and it still lingers even after all this time. Todd Howard clearly got angry when asked about it by the Kinda Funny Games interviewer and that I think showed or should have showed to anybody who saw it that the friction still exists. So no way would Todd have let Larian do a Fallout game. A Fallout game in the vein of Baldurs Gate 3 could have been amazing but we will never see anything even approaching that sad to say. Ultima I think they may have had a chance to get.There hasn't been a new Ultima game in a very long time.I played an Ultima game back in the 1990s and I liked it. But I can't tell you anything about it because it was so long ago. I think though they might have had a chance to do it. Another thing that has come up is the persistance of BG3 in the minds of the fans and the effect that is having on Larian. They are still getting invitations to various events and discussions on gaming and it is interferring with their new game development. Sven seems to want closure and a moving on and they are having problems doing so. They have divided up into teams so as to divide up those appearances and not have everybody going. But I expect at some point Sven is going to have to say ok no more events after a certain date and start refusing those invitations. Also I think the emotions of the staff have become tied to BG3 and they are having trouble letting go/moving on etc etc and it is affecting them. Putting BG3 in the rear view mirror so as to speak. Obviously they are going to have to put it in the rear view mirror and soon but how they do it will be challenge for Sven.That is for sure. Anyway just my opinions.Good luck.
Ultima is owned by Electronic Arts. They aren't doing anything with it these days aside from keeping Ultima Online running, but I doubt it would be easy to get the IP from them. I love Ultima. Ultima III was my first RPG, and I've completed all of them from I through VII. The series started going downhill with Ultima VIII, and Ultima IX was a disaster. Also, Ultima IX brought the series to a clear end, and it would be difficult to follow it up. As much as I would love to see a new Ultima, I think it has long since run its course, and it belongs to the past. Also, younger gamers aren't necessarily familiar with it, so it would not have brought in as much of an audience as the Dungeons & Dragons IP did. I can see why Larian was interested in Ultima, as it is one of the foundational RPG series, heavily influencing almost everything that came later. For many RPG developers, Ultima was the RPG of their teenage years, and it is a huge influence. I can only imagine that it would be a dream come true for them to bring Ultima back to life, but I don't see it happening.
holy shit modding is about to get insane. Such a good move bringing out mod support around a year after release. It'll totally revive the already alive mainly SOLO game
I wish they will fix up the dialogue with Halsin and Minthara they cut from the game when they are both at camp. Halsin will doubt and such but you can persuade him to not leave.
I want them to make a custom map Creator like what if I wanna make a dungeon and the next door is my own placed items. I think it's possible. I wish it was like generated dungeon you get what I'm saying. Or caves idk but the game can be improved if they put a new level dlc as well.
When my husband and I first got the game (on PC) we wanted to play together on the split screen, it was ok, it wasn't great by any means 🤷🏼♀️. But the update will surely help out with it! The only problem that occurred fully was when one of us was talking to a character, (for example) My husband would talk to Shadowheart, and then I had to watch it off of his side of the screen. What made it worse was that when I talked to Shadowheart after he did, she would ask and say the same things 🤦🏼♀️. Also if you tried to join the conversation while one of us was talking, it would shut down my (or his) controller and I couldn't move 😡. (Ha-ha yes I know we were playing it on the controller, but we had to cause we used our TV as the screen. Also news flash, if you don't have a really big boy tv, then it was super hard to read and see all the stuff that was going on in the game.) Now I'm not sure if the update has fixed it, but if so that's awesome 👍🏼.
@@jakeryan2805 They were burned out on dealing with 5e restrictions and WotC, for clarity. They were originally going to do dlc and eventually BG4. NEVER forget what WotC took from us!
@@jakeryan2805 yup, and larian doesn't normally do dlc either they're more of a one and done type of studio which isn't a bad thing. But WotC definitely didn't help which is really sad because it was one thing that saved them quite a bit last year not enough to makeup all their horrendous losses because they're incompetent but it pulled some serious weight.

@@Marc-rk3mi issue is for me, there were so many presented solutions that just got ignored like karlach got ignored most of the final arc. It feels like they neglected giving her a real thought out ending.
@@antiheroz3056they definitely should have at least addressed the iron hand gnome thing, but i think it’s fair to say that because they didn’t it wouldn’t have worked. her stories over🤷♀️
Me: and Minthara highlights?
Larian: ...
Me: and Minthara highlights?
Larian:
RIGHT?! Like the only companion i like will get shit on again :(
All I want is a romantic scene with Minthara that does not require me to slaughter a bunch of people. Not to mention, said scene is hugely diminished by the fact that Minthara, during that time, is still under the control of the Absolute and does not have full agency of her own actions. There needs to be something there for her romance, just like every other companion has.
They have an opportunity to do a origin story for her too, run it from her point of view moving from moonrise to the grove, purhaps running into the durge and let it play out from there. Perhaps the artifact allows her to go through the "good" direction and not kill the grove, or maybe she just chooses the glory and returns after sacking it. Who knows! Lots of potential though
I genuinely thought they were adding more Minthara romance and dialogue in general, her character needs it more than any other smh. Plus my durge ending didn’t even include her when I was roleplaying taking over the world w her, and she talked about it a lot. Was really expecting her to show up and say something during the ending, instead of a lonely shot of my character. Huge missed opportunity imo
@@babyqeels She doesn't show? How strange. Astarion is shown with you if you romance him and decide to take over the world (he wasn't when I did it originally) it shouldn't be that hard to add Minthy there.
All I want is a recruit Alfira mod. Bonus points if possible romance
You can still perform songs with her on the rooftop in act 3. Symbolic romance if anything
Fr, not having a bard companion was a missed opportunity
@@Christopher-eq1rn I always make Asterion my bard
Nah she and lakrissa are perfect together
I mean this update heavily implies that she is recruitable
4:58 I love this! when i play an evil play through i like being that sneaky manipulative evil where i agree to a seemingly good task but in the end it would benefit the evil plot. so multiple different evil endings would be amazing for that or the people who do total chaos greed evil.
@@PocketKanin tbh it kind of felt a bit like evil playthroughs didn't have as much to offer currently. Which is fair and their choice, but seeing more potential outcomes seems like it will be rewarding for sure
I would like an evil dark urge romance where you don’t end up as a thrall if you decide to become a vampire personally, that and the option to romance minthara without having to kill the grove, pregnancy endings returning. Just give me flavour man!
@@DukeDanseMacambre You can already romance Minthara without killing the grove a while ago, just knock her unconscious and she’ll show up at moonrise like usual, save her and add her to your party; then all it is from there is to raise her approval high enough until you trigger a dialogue where she asks you to show her what you see her as in your mind. If you choose to see her as a lover than she’ll reciprocate and you can start a relationship, if you’re already in one you can break the other one off or be be a sleez bag and cheat on them a bit with Minthara; Bam you’re now in a monogamous relationship with everyone’s favourite Drow Mommy
I chose durge as a first time player and genuinely wanted them to be a paragon of good will but once they got a taste of power in Act 2 with power over the goblins end my character went down a very dark path being consumed by hunger. It was awsome!
@@analynn8110 tbh that sounds like it would fit well for a male drow who left the underdark as well only to become the very thing he was trying to escape (the blighted and goblin village in particular are a much different experience as a Drow)
Or, y'know, a wizard who gets a bit too hyperfixated on magical artifacts
Tbh there's so much roleplay potential. Hopefully your next evil run is just as enjoyable
i wish there are more wholesome ending options.
Ikr, I don't play evil, it just isn't fun for me, so I'm not as hyped up for the evil endings.
@@WeAreTheHeroes434 Oh Im VERY much looking forward to it
@@somelonelyshmuck4274Same. I almost always play as an evil, sneaky MC, and even when I try to do an "goodie two shoes" walkthrough I just get bored and start new game as Lawful or Neutral Evil, Chaotic Neural at best.
I really don't see why so many players are so opposed to being bad. BG3 is the only RPG, aside from like DA Origins, where I can make some truly evil acts, but while the Warden was still mostly driven by good, BG3 actually allows you to be self-serving, ruthless and manipulative villain, and it's SO refreshing and unusual, when game after game you have to walk around with a halo over your head. You are given such a unique opportunity to play as a villain, and you still choose the most boring, good guy run you see in every game? Not for me.
@@Deadpan_SnarkerJesus, you yap so much to say you like being evil. Clapping for you, top ten yapper honestly.
@@Deadpan_Snarker Not everyone enjoys playing a psychopath, what can I say. There is a lot of bad s*** happening in the real word so I want to do some good in my games, because games like BG3 are my escapism. Everybody has their preference.
No, split screen is not normal now, most devs dropped it cause "everyone just gonna play online instead, anyway"
Honestly? I really wish couch co-op would make a comeback. I LOVE that bg3 has it because it means I can still play it with my girlfriend
They do it to sell more copies
I think this new split screen works for people who play in their own home and not on the couch right?
the fact BG3 has split screen on PC (Even though you need 2 controllers, that's a bummer on someone's wallet) surprised me a lot
Since I found a friend that actually live close enough to me and like video games, I can finally enjoy local multiplayer, and I have to say it’s definitely 10 times better than playing online… well it’s hard to fit the basic requirement tho especially for adults
the biggest thing I wish they add is a Ignore coin weight feature because it sucks that you have a lot of gold saved up only to have it weighed down and you can't carry anything else when you have other items that could or should be useful later on in your playthrough idk it's an opinion of mine and I feel like that would be a great feature
There's a mod for that already.
Some of us are on ps5 sadly man@@SomeUniqueHandle
I don't know if the dynamic split screen is normal but they DID have it in DOS:2 so I was a little surprised it wasn't in BG3 when I had tried it. Awesome they're finally getting it in.
"Dror Ragzlin will be able to rally the spiders to fight the real enemy - you."
90% of BG3 players: "Lol. Yeh, good luck with that."
*keeps stacking explosive barrels near him*
Barrelmancy rocks.
At least two stacked on him and two on the goblins
@@desgroid only 2 ???? I had so many Firewine & Smokepowder barrels saturating the area that realistically there should have been a crater left there. Only a couple of the fringe characters left to melee.
Bro hes just so dangerous at the early level. And the game graciously gives us plent of barrels in the goblin area
Also works wonderfully against the dragon and netherbrain at the end. Sure my entire party was overencombered, and made getting there a fuckin CHORE, but it sure made killing the queen squid a walk in the astral plane
Just finished my first playthrough a few hours ago. Can't wait to jump back in!
Welcome to the bg3 thunderdome u live in bg3 now throw all other games away 😂😂😂😂 jk ❤❤
So did I, I feel so empty also sad for karlach not getting a good ending
@Calisthenics_Warrior she can have one she has 3 endings I think 🥹👉🏻👈🏻
@moona_ttv yeah but i want an ending in which you can fix her engine , going to avernus to fight monsters is not the best ending ever
All I want is that "sort by type" actually sorts by type and an item search bar for the camp inventory.
I don't know why simply sorting items is still broken and they don't even seem to acknowledge it.
Send them a bug report, I suppose. Could work.
Maybe they have more urgent things on the schedule
@@Sirawxy More urgent things like redesigning the trading screen with no change in functionality? Also the game still has issues that Early Access players already complained about.
I love the game but man, Larian sure is sometimes weird with priorities.
As a giant ball of dyslexia with legs, I appreciate this style of video
It's strange that they don't mention having recruited both Minthara and Halsin would get fixes...
It's clear they were intended to be mutually exclusive, but they still made it simpler to recruit both in a "good" playthrough, but the game still seems VERY confused about what to do with them at camp and during the levelup screen, where having both recruited at once, sometimes results in them only showing up as a floating head! At camp, they just seem to randomly get assigned a tent, which often tends to be the same tent... So half the time, Halsin and Minthara are just sharing a tent when i recruit both of them, because the game looks to be built around a certain arrangement of tents during camp, and they never fully solved the overlap of Minthara and Halsin...
My last playthrough poor Halsin didn't even get a tent. He just sat down on the ground/floor some random spot depending on camping location. Guy looked so sad =\
My favourite is in Act 2 when Minthara evicts Halsin from his own tent but can't stand in front of hers because Oliver is there, so she just becomes part of her table instead.
Oliver hangs around her awkwardly and they try to ignore each others' existences, and Halsin proceeds to hobo his way around the entire camp for the rest of the game Despite there being a random blue half-tent that no one eve does anything with that I can recall
Once in awhile Halsin spawns right next to Minthara and Oliver, and it looks like a bizarre adopted family scene
Minthara and Halsin sharing a tent needs to be a thing.
The Lusty Drow maid meets Mount Halsin
@@unchained5150honestly I thought it was normal for him not to get a tend
I know they've listened to the fans who requested that they both be recruitable but ngl I think they shouldn't have made that possible and just stuck with them being mutually exclusive. I respect Larian for considering what the fans want but I think this is one thing where what the fans want results in some goofiness and immersion breaking moments lol
That 'Photo Mode' is a thing I really look forward to.
I can't use the Steam function properly. For some reason it just don't work for me. So, right now I am using *Print Screen' in Window, save the game and launch Photoshop to paste into, save the picture and start BG3 again. A lot of time used on this. And then you can't even be sure if you captured the right moment.
A REAL cool Photo Mode would allow you to 'scroll' a few millisecs backward and forward.
Like the cutscene when you travel to Grymforge the first time. There's a real cool artistic moment when your character has the back to you and slowly turn around to see the duegar boat arriving. Kind of an ancient Egyptian posture seen from the back. It looks awesome! One of these moments when time stands still. I capture it every time I do this trip. But I don't always grab the exact moment I hoped for (ah,well, getting old and slow...).
On windows 11 my prtsrc button saves right to my screenshots folder now. It was weird that there was always the extra step of pasting it until recently
You should definitely message them that!
The going back in time a bit definitely sounds cool, maybe an option to adjust lighting or move the camera around in a scene. The photography possibilities are endless.
@@themarkgrayson I don't remember if it is 'Horizon: Zero Dawn' or maybe 'Cyberpunk 2077' that has one of these fancy built-in screengrabbers. But they exist. I'm completely sure.
But I also guess it depends on how the game engine works. The engine has to be able to remember the graphics shown for a few seconds (having them available to be rendered again).
Local co-op isn't usually a thing anymore. But historically, from my recollection if you share the same screen, there's usually a limit of how far you can be from your partner. If it's a split screen, you usually have more freedom, but you only have your part of the screen...
LARIAAAAN! You better name Patch 8 "Fixing Minthara"
I can fix her
Or better yet, Patch 8 “Upper city”
Whats wrong with Minthara
@@genises200nothing, she's perfect as is
@@genises200 unfinished character, with multiple bugs that will make her even lock into a dialogue forever and give you major spoilers of act 3.
Wow dynamic splitscreen is a really cool feature! + mod support going to be crazy! Thanks for the update 👍
So excited for this news!!! Srsly can’t wait to play Dark Urge in full dark evil mode. This will be fun to relive this game on its fullest ❤
Give in durge run is pretty awesome actually.
Nevermind that my camp only holds my active party and Withers. Everybody else is dead.
I'd love a photo mode and glad they are going to work on it!
Volo is a wizard not a bard in DnD lore so i think we may get Alfina. May be to help save a certain other teifling?
Oh I didn't even consider Volo lol. It's definitely Alfira though. I am excited to see how people break their durge run by never long resting with her
I refuse to believe that Volo is a Wizard, he is a Bard who just constantly passes deception checks about being a Wizard 😂
@@elenalizabeth there's lore stuff that makes it make sense. He is not a very good wizard to be honest.
@@cmmosher8035 haha yeah according to lore, apparently Elminster is just constantly having to rescue him or bring him back to life so that Volo can continue his actual purpose in the realm. No wonder Elminster doesn’t seem to like him very much, keeping Volo alive/out of trouble is a full time job 😂
@@elenalizabeth it's been a while but I think Volos guide sorta implies his publishers set up things so monsters wouldn't kill him
Hey, about kissing Gortash... you gotta play as Durge to know, at least to spin it for your headcanon to work and thus to want to kiss Gortash
It is hard to explain tbh
I trust you. I'll have to finish up my Durge playthrough when i get my PC back & see what it's all about
@@MrHulthen I won't spoil, even tho from all the updates you already probably know the gist of it
Durgetash ship from the community is a pretty "interesting one", for sure.
pretty sure I'm never visiting any kind of in person gatherings for bg3 fans.
I personally think Durgetash is a pile of hot steaming garbage and I hate how annoying its fans are and their attempts to force it into the Durge character sheet. I can look at Astarion, Gale, and Halsin and go "Yeah, I can understand why women would be attracted to that guy", but Gortash? The washed up FF villain reject who forced one of the nicest characters in the game to experience a decade of literal hell and does shit like torture and bomb children? Won't ever get it. Larian made a mistake by acknowledging it at all.
@@mitchcane2352my guess is that female gamers are attracted to Jason Isaac and his performance (voice) more than to the character himself. The character is an irredeemable piece of shit, essentially. You can't really _genuinely_ like a person like this, unless you have similar issues. As a person, who is very close to Karlach in values and worldview and who romanced her on the first playthrough, I'd never forgive Gortash for anything he's done and for what he is.
September? Happy b-day to me just in time for an old dude to get one year older.
That one megamind meme with "No kisses?"
To be honest I think the only mod I’m interested in seeing added for PlayStation is the one that allows your character to level up to 20 but I don’t think it’s likely that will happen 😢
Yeah, I feel you. Going up to level 20 and being able to edit the appearance of origin party members were the two big mods I wanted, and it looks like neither of those are possible 😭
I want no party limit mod, I want to be able to have all the team wandering around and hearing all the banter. I hate having to decide between characters to take each day
I dont want to go above lvl 12 fir a given class, but going to lvl 20 with 12 as a class cap would be nice.
That's how console modding works, I'm afraid. You'll never get the full modding experience thanks to limitations.
@@revuesdeminuit4071why wouldn’t it be possible?
While I love they are improving the game, I'm still confused, why:
1) there is no "merge all" or "merge selected" - doing it manually sucks,
2) there is no way to make the abilities bar even bigger, because on some classes, it's too small, because you have too many abilities.
I hope they make some more NPCs like Rolan romanceable that would be awesome!
Won't happen
Orin romance would be nice😏
I’d love an Auntie Ethel romance
Sounds like I better hurry up and get my golden dice before the update comes out
Crossplay❤i need it
This is huge! So nice to see them continuing to add QoL features and also brand new stuff. What I really hope we get in the future is a better inventory sorting, as well the search bar inside containers too (bags, crates, barrels, chests), and also being able to organize items by rarity and weapon / armor type.
Can we please get an ending where you get the Emperor and Orpheus to work together? I don't care what kinda roll I need to make it work, just give me an option already.
Splint screen was more common on console in the time before online gaming
I hope Wyll gets some romance updates and maybe more good endings with the other companions but I'm happy with this ^^ other than new UI tweaks
Thanks for the work you put into these videos. I appreciate it as a BG3 fan. I know it isn't easy.
I appreciate the love!
I heard nothing about fixing getting quest out of order that can not be finished.
For example. If you go to the goblin camp first before exploring the grove you can meet and kill Princess Gut. Then when you go to the grove you pick up a quest to find Princess Gut and seek her help.
Problem is - you’ve already meet her and killed her. There are tons of bugs like this in the game that revolve around getting quests out of order and there’s no way to resolve them when you do.
I hope they open up modding enough to allow someone to make a DM client
Right? When I heard "official modding tools", I was hoping for something along the lines of the custom modules we'd have for NWN1 and NWN2. Imagine building an entire campaign module on the BG3 engine. Now that would be the shit. I'd lose myself completely in it.
Trust me... local coop shared screen is a game changer. The lack of thi feature it has been a nightmare for couples whom loves to play togheter
HOLY VIEWS Hulthen. Good for you brother.
Haha thanks Wolfie, no idea why mine got pushed to the top like this tho lol
I remember the scene where Astarion lost his stun immunity. Glad that was addressed, *no* one was concerned for the boy 😂
That split screen thing is an unfathomably large deal I play co cop on my Xbox with my sibling and that feature would be amazing
All I wanted was a mod that help inventory organization and something for equipment appearence so I could use that hideous dexterity armor without disgust lol
So are we gonna be able to make Quests and NPC's? I was hoping for custom quests and companions.
It sounds like they didn't create any new tools to help people do that, but this game has a pretty dedicated mod community so I'm sure someone will figure it out eventually
@bingonight1504 I really think this game could reach Skyrim and Fallout levels of modding community if they supported custom quests and NPC's. The games life could be extended by a decade!
@@BaronSitzkrieg I agree! :)
@@BaronSitzkrieg probably not, unofficially there might be something, but for the most part there's not much they can do for adding npcs or quests, let alone new areas.
I have done multiple split screen runs at this point, THANK YOU BG
Since patch 7 isn't the final one, I am curious if they will also do an update for the PS5 Pro when it comes out. It's allegedly coming out later this year.
PS5 Pro will only have an updated GPU - what's there to add to BG3? Slightly better resolution? Tell me.
@user-mu8dm4rk7g While the GPU would be the biggest upgrade, leaks suggest the CPU and RAM will also run faster. The PS5 version of BG3 has Quality and Performance mode. I'd imagine it could have a Pro mode that runs Performance mode with Quality mode graphics.
I like how you say "Tell me" like the condescending prick you probably are.
I like this update, now subbed for the beautifully edited and detailed BG3 videos.
My physical PS5 version finally came in the mail yesterday 😄. And I spent 6 hours playing the game straight with about an hour being in the character creator😂. I don't usually spend more than 10 minutes in character creation. I'm pretty simple when it comes to that stuff but BG3 had so much stuff I had to go through lmao. Great game so far. Already in my top five RPGs of all time. The other ones are the Mass Effect trilogy, Dragon Age Origins, The Witcher 3 and if you count it as an RPG BioShock.
Have fun! 😄
@@user-mu8dm4rk7gthanks I have been. I have a little over 17 hours in it. The hardest decision tho is deciding if I'm going to romance Shadowheart, Karlach or surprisingly lae'zel, I'm liking her more then I thought I would 😂.
I dont think Bioshock can be considered an rpg by any metric
The one thing I still want is a way to actually fix her heart without Gale. A long and arduous mission through Avernus to find some super rare metal even better than infernal iron. Maybe even slaying the devil she was sold to for it.
Mods coming to ps5 is suprisingly knowing how Sony gets down- I really hope they can get the subclasses to port over, one thing that I’ve been FEENING for is for bg3 to get new subclasses, and since it seems like Larian is done making new content for the most part, also just because the handful of time I played D&D I played using subclasses that aren’t in the game and those were really fun classes!
Tbh I did kind of like during the ascendant kiss scenes where your character looked visibly scared and then really pissed off, atleast for my durge anyway. cause it felt like he traded in one master (Bhaal) for another one, and through the facial expressions showed the consequences of that. Still, they were so over the top it was fun to laugh at.
Hey be glad with this modding potentiality we could make more endings in ways
Playable alfira for durge play is nice. But i really wish she was always recruitable
PC has split screen too, this is just keeping up with Divinity 2 split screen system which i dont know why it wasnt like this on release but...I didnt mind really, good to know we will get more updates after this
Hopefully this will make it possible for modders to add more content to the game like a new playing area
I really hope they finally fix arcane trickster it worked in beta but has been broken since launch and I really don't understand why they would do things like "fixing" kiss animations before that. (The trailer they showed for the "fixed" version still had Shadowheart rubbing her bare teeth on the side of your player model's face 🤦) I love the game but the fact one subclass is completely unplayable because its main gimmick doesn't function- being able to use mage hand to pick locks and and pockets, something that worked in a earlier version of the game is one of the reasons the game sometimes feels unfinished to me
Astarion looking sus during that wyll read 😂😂😂
I was waiting for someone to notice that. Lol
Yeah, this made me uncomfortable
Ahhh man no more throwing goblins in the spiderpit
270k views? Man it must feel great to be a bg3 dev with this much interest in the game so long after release
REDOWNLOADING IT NOW
MrHulthen: “Spoilers ahead!”
Me who has throughly played through everything except Act 3: “Pffft, it’ll be fine.”
MrHulthen: “when he loses his ability to withstand sunlight.”
Me: “WHAT”
I reported a game-breaking bug that’s stopping me from advancing my main play through before it’s fixed, I’m not seeing the fix here but I hope it ends up in the final like the dev I messaged said it would. I’ve been waiting for a few months now.
The bug is the one where Jahira and the harpers will turn hostile on you for no reason (some suggest it happens if they take any AOE damage, even not from you) after the first boss rush at moonrise tower. There’s not even a “pay your way out of it” or “get knocked out by them”, you just have to kill all of them or knock them all out and get way worse reputations with them or have a game over.
They need to fix the issue where you save the tieflings but also end Isobel. Yet somehow some tieflings survive. Like the kids
all i want for the game is a steam workshop addition. this game has been different for me every single time ive started a new character and easily accessible mods would add to that replay value even more
Larian is the best thing to happen in the last 10 years of gaming.
One patch after another, improvement after improvement! No extra cost, no dlc, no microtransactions.
This is a game created by passionate gamers for passionate gamers.
Thank you to all who worked and still work in Larian Studios. You are the best!
Yeah no dlc, that's the problem!
@@dacksonflux Of course a DLC would be most welcome here, but what i meant with it is, we get a full game and not a game sold to us in pieces. Thats why i respect Larian so much.
Thank you for doing this video i had trouble reading all the information your a god send ❤️
I really hope they dont downgrade the graphics even more for us who only play singleplayer. Lighting was definitely downgraded on console for coop stability
So my strategy of throwing the goblins to the spiders to outnumber ragzzlin is out the window now
If you don't play Honor mode - it's not.
Or one shot Dror Ragzlin and then feed goblins to the spiders.
This September? Damn can't wait. I'm finishing my second playthrough and like 3 hrs through my first tactician
Yes! They are fixing the face animations for the ascended Astarion kiss animations! 🥰❤
IMHO they need to fix AAstarion period, and make it more neutral and with more room for roleplaying.
Currently, we have this slave/master dynamics which just gives fuel to Spawn fans that keep bullying Ascendant fans because they can't fathom that we may have different imagination, different roleplay and headcanon.
And don't even get me started on the game (and the community) thinking that *the only* reason we Ascend him is because we don't pay attention to his story or treat him like sexy vampire dom daddy. It can be the case for some, but others, myself included, look at the world PRAGMATICALLY. I am fully aware that Spawn is the most "therapeutic" ending where he tries to "heal" (but then again, I have no idea how one is supposed to "heal" living all his immortal life in one of the most dangerous places in the universe, forever scared of sun and remaining a slave to hunger, but ok) but a lot of others think pragmatically and rationally, and ascend him because this is the most *reasonable* choice that makes him both safe and powerful.That's it.
The dialogue options with AAstarion are so piss-poor, not only making him sound like Disney villain, but also making my MC some lustful Harley Quinn wannabe, which completely ruins how I picture their dynamics and why I ascended him in the first place. Not for hot vampire daddy.
@@Deadpan_SnarkerFrankly I ascended him because I thought it better to have one vampire, rather than the ridiculous amount locked up, free. It was the logical decision.
@@Deadpan_Snarker Ah yes! I couldn't agree more, I have a special place in my heart for ascended Astarion as that is the route I took on my first play-through for the reasons that I didn't feel having him ascended really justified a bad ending. I get that they were trying to have an “end the cycle of abuse” storyline with spawn Astarion but it could have been done better because choosing to sacrifice 7,000 ravenous feral vampire spawn who we believed would off Astarion next chance they get from Sebastian’s interaction with him, sacrifice his vampire spawn siblings who it's implied bullied him all the time by the way they speak to him and having him ascend would mean he could live life on his terms (in the sun) instead of with the curse of traditional vampirism that Cazador gave him seemed like the better option for him to heal. The Spawn ending is really bittersweet if you think about it, yes we get softy Astarion but he had to give up what he wanted most to save people who were kinda awful. With the feral vampire spawn and his vampire step-siblings, I don’t know if they even deserved to be saved, yes Sebastian sends a nice letter to you at the epilogue but what about all 6,999 other vicious vampire spawn? And we hear nothing from his evil vampire step-siblings. I agree his Ascended storyline needs work. I am very glad they are fixing his kiss animations though as I was very upset when I saw what we got for him in the Valentine's Day patch, only one new kiss for spawn Astarion and the rest for his ascended route which felt like a complete rewrite of his character, making him more evil but cartoonishly so.
@@Deadpan_Snarkerascended astarion is a disney villain. choosing to stay in a relationship with him makes you weird and harley quinn pilled. theres nothing to fix.
@@Deadpan_SnarkerYeah, completely ruin his story for your personal headcanon, that’s sensible.
Can you do a tutorial on playing split screen on PC in 2024? Include things like multi-monitor setup and using keyboard and mouse. Most the things I find when searching are dated and either do not work or heavily bugged. I have used nvidia control panel to span displays for a multi screen experience and I have attempted to use a couple of different emulators for keyboard and mouse. I wish either Larian or a modder would fix these issues.
Still don’t want to fix the elevators 💀
I wish they’d fix the hell dusk helmet not being able to be colored
The Gortash kiss wasn’t a “no” 😂 please Larian
My spouse and I co-op all the time! Very excited for the changes
Disappointed with the lack of Spawn Astarion content 😢

Update: Durge is first thing mentioned in the evil spoilers. I like this patch
Split screen is either or, split or full. It is kool they are doing a merging of them and giving us the ability to turn it on and off
Im still waiting for official jaheira romance
3 times a charm after all
GAWD DANGIT! Just finished a full game! *Loads up new playthrough
No wonder they have been waiting to put in crossplay! They wanted to make sure it was mod-compatible! That's awesome!!
Split screen merging into one screen has been a thing at least on consoles, since the original Xbox i know of
I really hope they bring in some new equipment and other stuff to make the game even more fun.
I think I’m an anti combined split screen. It takes away control from the second player and can be awkward when it suddenly snaps away. Just keep it constantly split.
Guys we most not forget that they can update the mod tools later in the future if they choose to they’ve been surprising us thus far I’m sure they can do it!!!
I just want to be able to create my own party in single player mode.
I mean technically you can with the hirelings
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ENTIRE UPDATE
Well by now you may have heard that Larian considered presumably trying to do Fallout or Ultima if they didn't the rights to Baldurs Gate from WOTC. I use the term presumably because I don't see Todd Howard giving them permission and he would have had to approve it. Despite what he says and what people associated with Obsidian say Felix Urquart specifically I don't believe them. I think there was bad blood between Obsidian and Bethesda and it still lingers even after all this time. Todd Howard clearly got angry when asked about it by the Kinda Funny Games interviewer and that I think showed or should have showed to anybody who saw it that the friction still exists. So no way would Todd have let Larian do a Fallout game. A Fallout game in the vein of Baldurs Gate 3 could have been amazing but we will never see anything even approaching that sad to say. Ultima I think they may have had a chance to get.There hasn't been a new Ultima game in a very long time.I played an Ultima game back in the 1990s and I liked it. But I can't tell you anything about it because it was so long ago. I think though they might have had a chance to do it.
Another thing that has come up is the persistance of BG3 in the minds of the fans and the effect that is having on Larian. They are still getting invitations to various events and discussions on gaming and it is interferring with their new game development. Sven seems to want closure and a moving on and they are having problems doing so. They have divided up into teams so as to divide up those appearances and not have everybody going. But I expect at some point Sven is going to have to say ok no more events after a certain date and start refusing those invitations.
Also I think the emotions of the staff have become tied to BG3 and they are having trouble letting go/moving on etc etc and it is affecting them. Putting BG3 in the rear view mirror so as to speak. Obviously they are going to have to put it in the rear view mirror and soon but how they do it will be challenge for Sven.That is for sure.
Anyway just my opinions.Good luck.
Ultima is owned by Electronic Arts. They aren't doing anything with it these days aside from keeping Ultima Online running, but I doubt it would be easy to get the IP from them. I love Ultima. Ultima III was my first RPG, and I've completed all of them from I through VII. The series started going downhill with Ultima VIII, and Ultima IX was a disaster. Also, Ultima IX brought the series to a clear end, and it would be difficult to follow it up. As much as I would love to see a new Ultima, I think it has long since run its course, and it belongs to the past. Also, younger gamers aren't necessarily familiar with it, so it would not have brought in as much of an audience as the Dungeons & Dragons IP did. I can see why Larian was interested in Ultima, as it is one of the foundational RPG series, heavily influencing almost everything that came later. For many RPG developers, Ultima was the RPG of their teenage years, and it is a huge influence. I can only imagine that it would be a dream come true for them to bring Ultima back to life, but I don't see it happening.
Can’t wait for the game to just be open to the mod authors I’m sure they will take tons of things and make full on revamps of the game
I’m a simple creature. I don’t need mods or anything, I just want a dance action/emote
holy shit modding is about to get insane. Such a good move bringing out mod support around a year after release. It'll totally revive the already alive mainly SOLO game
Can’t tell if ur going for sarcasm or not 😭
I wish they will fix up the dialogue with Halsin and Minthara they cut from the game when they are both at camp. Halsin will doubt and such but you can persuade him to not leave.
I want them to make a custom map Creator like what if I wanna make a dungeon and the next door is my own placed items. I think it's possible. I wish it was like generated dungeon you get what I'm saying. Or caves idk but the game can be improved if they put a new level dlc as well.
Need a harem update. I want my entire camp to be a polycule
Crosplay is the only thing i am waiting
When my husband and I first got the game (on PC) we wanted to play together on the split screen, it was ok, it wasn't great by any means 🤷🏼♀️. But the update will surely help out with it! The only problem that occurred fully was when one of us was talking to a character, (for example) My husband would talk to Shadowheart, and then I had to watch it off of his side of the screen. What made it worse was that when I talked to Shadowheart after he did, she would ask and say the same things 🤦🏼♀️. Also if you tried to join the conversation while one of us was talking, it would shut down my (or his) controller and I couldn't move 😡. (Ha-ha yes I know we were playing it on the controller, but we had to cause we used our TV as the screen. Also news flash, if you don't have a really big boy tv, then it was super hard to read and see all the stuff that was going on in the game.) Now I'm not sure if the update has fixed it, but if so that's awesome 👍🏼.
Lego splitscreen was added nice!
We have been demanding Saaza companion for a decade it seems.
Honestly goblin as a playable race is great as their hide and disengage as a race makes them great casters or skirmishers
@@user-mu8ok5xf8d I've played it with a mod and it really is fantastic.
@@user-mu8ok5xf8d skirmishers would most lkely already be having bonus attack.movement through rogue cunning actions
They need to take our money and make a dlc , like please
Larian team was burned out, and all told their ceo they wanted to move on so he agreed, and the team is all working on new stuff now. no dlc sadly.
@@jakeryan2805
They were burned out on dealing with 5e restrictions and WotC, for clarity. They were originally going to do dlc and eventually BG4. NEVER forget what WotC took from us!
@@ANPC-pi9vu oh right. I had heard rumbling about Wizards being pain in the ass to work with.
Hasbro burned that bridge; dlc isn’t on the table and it’s not going to be.
@@jakeryan2805 yup, and larian doesn't normally do dlc either they're more of a one and done type of studio which isn't a bad thing.
But WotC definitely didn't help which is really sad because it was one thing that saved them quite a bit last year not enough to makeup all their horrendous losses because they're incompetent but it pulled some serious weight.
