It just doesn’t stop.
G.O.A.T.
130 GB download for a patch? Guess we’re just redownloading the game every month now.
I’m pretty much at a loss for words here. This feels like a definitive-edition style update we’re getting basically for free. It’s 30 gigs of goodness, so game-changing in fact that you need 130GB of space just to let it shuffle everything around, and Larian’s straight up recommended just doing a clean reinstall if you’re having trouble. Baldur’s Gate 3 fans haven’t just been eating good, we’ve been feasting.
Wow…just wow. I am amazed at the dedication of Larian to improve their game and actually listen to their customers and try to please them.
I am a fan of Larian.
Credit where credit is due, Larian was always like this. Even with their less successful titles they still made sure to fix all issues before moving on.
I am also a fan of Larian.
I’m playing the new difficulty and its great. If you fuck up there is no way back except to your last save. You can’t even quickload. I don’t think it’s more difficult than tactician so far but I’m still in act 1.
I might do this for my second play through with my gf. Increase the stakes. Can you still load if you die?
I think I read somewhere that it is but don’t quote me on that. The biggest reason I’m playing it is because if you beat Honour Mode you get golden dice.
I’m so glad they love this game as much as I do. If they eventually added a DM or creative mode to run custom campaigns I’d be over the moon. Take my money Larian!
WotC should hire the studio to build the engine for the VTT in dndbeyond.
The problem wouldn’t be the studio making it, it would be the monetization imposed on every facet of it. Any possible add-on would be dlc or part of a subscription. They wouldn’t even allow them to do significant free updates unless it was tied to a paid product or hefty subscription fee.
I don’t really want Larian getting looped into being a WotC shill. I hope they stay independent and keep on making the best games they can make. Single player or small party story games never get old.
DNDBeyond is just another bullshit live service with subscriptions in perpetuity.
Want 2 short rests? Fuck you, pay me.
Want to respec? Fuck you, pay me.
Want to recruit Scratch? Fuck you, pay me.
Pretty sure custom campaigns will definitely arrive at some point, just like they did with DOS2. I want to say Larian has even stated that they’ll eventually open the doors for it and potentially modding support?
Mod support has definitely been mentioned as an eventual goal, IIRC though they didn’t have plans to implement an official DM mode.
They have such a mode in Divinity: Original Sin II. Sure it’s not DnD but it’s a fun system. Never got the hang of that dm mode though, I’m too stupid.
