*sneaks in through a back window and pickpockets the golden teeth out of an old lady's mouth to sell them one by one to that fence in the sewers* Cultural point of view yeah I totally see it 😉

A paladin of Lolth? Now that would be something to make a Cleric of Shar look like a friendly companion. By the way, they really did well with the voice actors. I really like how Shadowheart speaks, she has a pleasant voice. And of course the narrator, Amelia Tyler, "Mama Malady" from DOS2. Not...

Welcome! Nice that you've decided to join us, how have you been? The unfamiliar faces will be familiar soon, too. Just find a comfortable spot (with that pelt, just keep your distance from the fireplace) and feel at home.

They showed the scene how it happens in-game in the stream, it's actually quite interesting how it's implemented. You'll see if you watch it.

Answering in general but also tagging @BelgarathMTH because my post refers to NPCs and alignment. First of all, let me talk about the recruitable companions: "Noble by birth, Wyll made his name as the heroic 'Blade of Frontiers'. He keeps his pact with a devil well-hidden, and is desperate to...

Thanks for sharing the details to understand what you dislike about the combat and what the reasons behind that might be. It sounds rather disappointing, but on the other hand, as you said, some part of it are personal preferences, so there's still hope it might turn out interesting enough for...

We have had so much new and interesting information about BG3 these days, compared to the months before, and I hope the Panel From Hell tomorrow will add to that. Another class will be revealed, we can pick the trailer apart, we can speculate about the release date, about Jaheira and Minsc, why...

Those words are great. "Dwelf" is just beautiful, I love it, and if I hear "gnarf" the sound makes a picture in my mind that looks just as I'd imagine a character with mixed gnome/dwarf parentage. What @Antimatter said about character creation in Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 reminds me that indeed...

And is that a bad thing? The old Baldur's Gate series is 20 years old. Siege of Dragonspear is from 2016, but it's an interlude and therefore had to fit almost seamlessly. "What makes Baldur's Gate fun?" To me, that would have been the fact that it's a story that I can live through and...

Please clarify, so that I can disagree with what you actually mean and not with what I interpret into your words.

Hi and welcome, nice of you to join us! Arvia? We have no Arvia here ;) But if you look closely, you might spot her in disguise, she's sneaky, sometimes even appears as a rather large reptiloid alien. I'm admittedly not the best informed, we have people here who unlike me have actually played...

I know we're straying a bit off topic here but just FYI, in Cyberpunk 2077, released in December 2020, you don't pick your character's gender, you pick a male or female body type, a male or female sounding voice set, and, if you don't use the nudity filter, either panties or male or female...

Didn't you say you're against picking people's arguments apart by pointing out their flawed logic through socratic questions or doesn't it count if you're the one doing it? ;) For the context of playable or romanceable characters in games, I'm strictly against inclusion of species that...

I would like to add that I previously overlooked the very last part of the article linked in the OP, where WotC people claim that they're won't return to the term "race", but are going for "species" as a work in progress and open to community feedback about a better term. So since we're all a...

Thanks a lot @m7600 for providing this very important background information. I had no idea about the whole issue around Magic The Gathering and I agree it looks very bad and not like coincidence at all. So yeah in that context it's totally understandable they want to distance themselves from...

A very complicated topic especially when mixing RL politics with game lore. I was hesitant to enter this discussion, but this is not Reddit, we're under Pax Tavernus here, so I really want to share my many thoughts on this. 1. In case that even needs clarification for anyone, I think racists...

That leads me to the question what the reason behind your dislike of the combat in Rogue Trader is. Is it because you're used to and enjoy the fast decisions in real time or the "on the fly" way you do it in games like BG or PoE, where parallel micromanagement of several party members while...

I don't think Minsc and Jaheira were added later and are now being written in a hurry to fit in until release. There have been hints about them for ages. I assume they have simply been revealed at a late point for suspension, to have something new to tell before release, to draw the "old" fans...

To me, none of the evil recruitable companions from Baldur's Gate 2 were charismatic enough to feel that I really want to see them again so badly and could say that it would enrich the experience for me either as a companion or an adversary. I also don't think they should limit themselves by...

I wonder if they'll let us romance Jaheira. She was my all-time favourite in BG2, and it would be great for devs to acknowledge that not every player is 20 or wants to date people who look like 20.
