melkathi Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I got my key for the game. There was a choice between Steam and Epic, so I grabbed the Steam one (because Epic basically never does sales for DLC, while Steam you can get DLC cheap from other stores).

melkathi Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 They changed the prologue slightly. Nothing significant, just a fight here and an in-game cut scene there. You can now hire custom NPC's for your party, which means you can have a full party right from the beginning of chapter 1, before you slowly collect all npcs Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Sven_ Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Gonna get this anyway, but: What's the encounter design like? Combat in BG3 appears on the easy side at the time of me writing. But the prospect of fighting Owlcat mobs seems a bit daunting after a game that is this wasteful, it has many types of enemy appearing just for one fight. And then never again. Even Solasta on a modest budget tried to go with a quality over quantity approach, which so far hasn't been Owlcat's forte, to put it that way. What could be more daunting than fighting the same mob for the second and third and fourth time on a map? Fighting the same mob for the second and third and fourth time in turn-based combat (and that's nothing against TB combat, mind). So?

melkathi Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 In the prologue and chapter 1 you mostly fight the same human cultists. They are not interesting, but luckily you kill them fairly fast. If you use too many psychic powers, the veil between the real world and the warp gets thinner and stuff may happen, which may result in a daemon appearing (a bloodletter showed up for me ... and I killed it before it even got to act, as it materialized in charge distance and while I had full momentum. My melee guy just went to town on it). It seems their main attempt so far has been to make combat "interesting" by having you "do stuff". Operatives (one of the character classes) analyze opponents, putting stacks of exploits on them, then you can trigger those fir extra damage or to debuff those enemies. Officers buff their allies and give them extra turns. Soldiers try to get extra attacks. It all requires a bit of an effort. Owlcat do not always seem to understand tedium. Those snipers up on a tower that are boring to run towards. The mini-boss that teleports on taking 25% of max health damage so you have to run after three times. Not all encounters are 100% compatible with turn based fun But so far the game isn't bad and I am only in the first system, so I guess it is pretty much only the introduction. 2 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

melkathi Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Oh, I didn't encounter many bugs so far. All the ones I had seen in the beta were fixed now. In one fight the UI messed up and I stopped getting the hit info when hovering the mouse over my target. Also, there are locations on the maps where an enemy can stand and ranged attacks won't hit/damage them, even though you have a line of sight. Something is messed up with the geometry of specific maps. Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

ShadySands Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 My bugs have mostly been with the game thinking I have more companions than I currently do.

Sarex Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I hate that you have to have visibility of the tile to move a companion there... So far I'm 11 hours in and got my 6th companion. Playing on the one above normal difficulty. TB combat is still slow for me, but I am having fun. From what I can see movement skills are OP at least for early level. My MC is something close to a Paladin (Hive world noble officer) with a sniper rifle, going all in to FEL.
