You're going to be seeing a lot of baulder's gate clones in the next few years.

>>712826307 (OP)
don't care, bg3 was shit.
divinty original sin is the GOAT

How does 3D help with balance?

the word "hypothetical" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence

>>712826307 (OP)
A western HIV homosexual hedonist can't make a game like Baldurs Gate 3, they can only make slop like Pillars of Eternity where you have to debate the merits of anal transexual intercourse with your party members and how the state must provide HIV medication for free.

>>712826307 (OP)
Avowed is 3D PoE nigga

>>712826971
Things that never happened.

>>712826971
Belgium isn't western?

>>712826307 (OP)
You mean Divinity Original Sin clones?
That's what BG3 is basically. A DivOS in a more popular IP and higher budget

>>712826307 (OP)
Owlcat is doing the same thing btw

>>712827189
It's in chapter 3.

>More large RPGS with stories that have loads of varying choices making every playthrough unique
>This is a bad thing
What? We're seeing a rebirth of the traditional RPGs games with BG3 being the last big WRPG since ME3 and Expedition 33 showing SquareEnix that turn based combat can still be viable by adding a few elements to it to liven it up while they were constantly trying to make the real time combat work and making each game have a new type of real time combat system.

>from the makers of avowed the most lifeless slop trash ever invented, a new BG3

>>712826307 (OP)
You just know Josh Sawyer was silently waiting for BG3 to launch and be a financial failure (how could it not be? A 100-million-dollar CRPG is madness). He likely had an idea of the kind of post he was going to make; some variation of: "See? This is why people in the know were calling it an anomaly. There are things we just understand on a gut level as lifelong developers." Watching it succeed must have been hard on him; him bending the knee to emulate it in the hopes of future success is just the cherry on top.

>Pillars of Eternity
who the fuck care.
no, unironically, WHO THE FUCK EVEN WANT IT?

>>712827492
Rogue Trader was mid compared to BG3

>>712826307 (OP)
Josh Sawyer should shut the fuck up after Avowed

>>712829017
He didn't have any direct involvement in that game.

>>712826307 (OP)
>title in the article he screencapped
>still spells it wrong
European education, everyone.

>>712826307 (OP)
I'm fine with that as long as at least one is good without all the gayness of bg3

>>712829183
I heard Miyazaki was behind Avowed.

the direction rpgs took over the last decade already excluded me from really caring much.

>>712826971
>Pillars of Eternity where you have to debate the merits of anal transexual intercourse with your party members and how the state must provide HIV medication for free.
god I wish pillars was like that, then I'd atleast have something to laugh while playing. In reality pillars is the most dry and meandering boring story and companions in vidya history

>>712826307 (OP)
>PoE3
nobody wants that shit

oh no no no no no

>>712828367
*raises paw*

I know, I knew. I been knowing since BG3 EA.

>>712826307 (OP)
D:OS clones*

>>712826307 (OP)
>We could totally make an awesome game and it would be really good but we're not going to do that so here is Avowed instead oh and Outer Worlds 2 which nobody asked for

>>712826307 (OP)
>baulder's gate clones
You mean Divinity: Original Sin clones, because BG3 has nothing in common with BG1 and BG2 other than the setting.

>>712826307 (OP)
No we won't. Too expensive to make.

>>712830263
isn't 5e Forgotten Realms way, way different than 2e Forgotten Realms?

>>712826307 (OP)
Nobody else can do it. And it's not even a question of budget, Larian made D:OS for pennies.

>>712826307 (OP)
OH BOY

AVOWED

2

BUT WITH TURN SLOP COMBAT

>>712826307 (OP)
No, you won't.
>>712826531
Funny.

>>712826307 (OP)
>Sawyer makes a Larian-esque turn-based softcore furry porno

Would be funny.

His salty post on twatter was hilarious.

Wasn't he one of the fags that said "don't expect Baldur's Gate 3 quality from WRPGs"? They pretty much killed Obsidian and Owlcat games for me, if you can't do half of what Larian did, I'm not paying over $5 for your shit

>>712826307 (OP)
He can do whatever he wants with POE. Not going to play anymore of those games. The world and lore is uninspired, dull and plain. The characters you meet and the coversations you have are tedius and meandering, the settings you trek through are uninspired and a slog. Go ahead and rip off larian. It's not going to make it a better game.

>>712828332
>Watching it succeed must have been hard on him
He seemed to be genuinely seething about it the second it started getting good reviews.

>>712831052
How the fuck owlcat is involved with this, you twat?

>>712826307 (OP)
And that's a good thing!

>>712832697
Their inferiority was made very apparent with BG3.

Obsidian is absolutely not capable of developing a 3D PoE

Poe1 is boring and poe2 is insulting.
Literally every important character is a woman and they nonstop talk about wanting to have sex with other women or casually bring up their life.
I remember one side quest in that games big rpg city which were two women arguing over a stone and than literally for no reason at all one of them implies they dated the other
????????
Is it a fetish?
Pillars 1 and 2 to an extent just has too much text, really up its own ass. Planescape is a novel and even that game had less verbose paragraphs to describe rooms

>>712834407
That's some shit opinion right there. Or cheap bait.
You cant these days

Haven’t played every single crpg, but i rather obsidian never tried again.

>>712826307 (OP)
Pillars 2 failed miserably and these niggas literally want to make a new one?
This franchise is quite literally the reason the studio got sold to microsoft.

>>712826307 (OP)
Obviously.
BG3 sold well and was universally praised. And the video game industry can't come up with an original idea to save its life. So everyone will just copy the game that was successful.

>>712830343
Yeah it's just turbo faggot shit

>>712836806
Without the Forgotten Realms IP these games won't be anywhere near as successful as BG3. WoTC/Hasbro are too greedy to have over the license for anything that isn't fuck you money though.
People just want their cRPG slop to be set in Faerun. I personally think a Larian Spelljammer game would have flopped, desu.
