Been using that, still often unclear.

35h in. Things that annoy me so far: - Jumping. This was much better done in Solasta. - Combat/ability/item UI. Ditto, better done in Solasta. - Inventory UI. Better done in PF:WotR. - Environmental effects and the imprecise character control. Constantly walking into fire, traps, toxic clouds, etc. Just lost a fight because I clicked to make a melee attacks, turns out character was 1mm too far, decided to take a detour through lava. - Destructible "sturdy" walls that give no indication of what stuff damages them. And sometimes the same attack does damage, sometimes not. Still a good game though.

How not to interpret dice rolls:

I have no idea why BG3 turned out to be such a big thing. It doesn't do things that differently from other RPGs like PoE or the PF ones. Better graphics, yes. Besides that (and the nakedness), the only thing it does differently is the large number of options based on class, skill, spells, etc. Which is great, but to me it still doesn't explain the popularity.

The game looks pretty finished to me, in other aspects. Still in Act 1 though.

Doubt it. All the bad things about the UI I've seen people talk about, it's always been "it was like that in DOS2 too". So I think most of that stuff is here to stay.

No. If you click on it skips the animation though, so it's a bit faster. That same interface lets you use spells etc abilities to modify the roll though, so later on it's reasonable to have it.

My understanding of Shadowheart is that it's a fake name, since she's had some of her memories erased. If that's not the case, then it's kinda stupid.

Regarding the SSD requirement, I assume it's just the usual thing with requirements, as in that's what they tested it for and what they will fix performance for. If you can get it working on a HDD, good on you, but they won't guarantee it.

Yeah yeah, but what kind of genitals does he have?

I have an older processor but over the recommended otherwise, seems to running fine so far. Some framedrops so not super smooth, but I'm also very abusive towards games, alt-tab a lot and have forced it to recover from sleep mode.

Isn't it pretty normal these days?

According to Larian, having a game in EA on Steam means you can't shut down the EA and set it for preload. So everyone is loading the files at the same time.

We can have a thread about BG3, can we? So, umm, it's out, if you didn't notice. Early reviews seem to be positive. Someone rushed through and said he didn't encounter many bugs. Also:

Better than slapping poop on your face, which I did. -

TL;DR: Creators of Solasta consider it done, and are moving to their next game. They have a survey where you can voice your opinions about what you want them to do. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1096530/view/3647404008471280877?l=english -

Imagine being a 30-year old babyface who couldn't play games. -
It's basically there to get rid of using lots of buffing spells at the same time. Play the Pathfinder games to see the opposite end of the scale. Personally I like it. Most concentration spells are very good too, like Hold or Dominate. As for classes being boring, this is a big problem with 5th ED. Some classes are just plain boring to play. Barbarian comes out on top of that, imo. Fighters in PnP have a subclass that gets a lot of options, but they have a boring subclass too. In Solasta they're boring too. It's not that big of a deal when you control a whole party, though.
