Avoided early release so I can be surprised; can't wait for this. I don't have anyone to play D&D with here so this is the next best thing!

MODERATORS
I put over 100 hours into various characters in the early access. You're going to love it.
Apparently they kept a lot out of early access.
Like, I was disappointed every character was treated the same by npcs, but that was because they wanted to keep some part of act 1 fresh for release.
I
Same! Haven't been this excited about a new release since StarCraft II
Why does this trailer make the game seem like a dating sim with some combat elements?
Welcome to DnD.
Not sure if any of the D&D people, also play the D&D video games but this is coming out soon.
We have a Baldur's Gate 3 community in the Fediverse. If you want to talk about this game or see news about the game.

Edit to add the website. Hope this helps to find us.
How do you make links so they open in your own instance? I can’t sub through this link
!@baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world
Edit: Dang it I can’t remember
!baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world
You were close.
It’s still not clickable. I edited that comment like 6 times trying various things and that was one of them. It’s probably mlemmy not recognizing it as a link.
It worked through wefwef. Thanks!
Strange. I can't find anything named mlemmy, do you mean mlem?
It's early stages, so feature parity is still WIP. It works on lemmy-ui, liftoff, and Voyager (formerly wefwef) that I tested.
This is the current spec: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1462
Liftoff, too
Edit: oops you said liftoff
I swear it was called mlemmy. It has a new icon today and is called Memmy 🤷🏻♂️
Two apps mlem and memmy, they're about equally old.
Ah thanks. I’m just trying to browse some memes, news, and nerd shit, I can’t keep up with all this.
I just got the first app off the App Store. 🤷🏻♂️
Approximately what percentage of your community is currently Halsin content? Post bear scene reveal? :D
Not sure there is a news article about the druid in bear form. We talk about everything.
I must have spent hundreds of hours on BG I and II some twenty years ago. I’ve resisted trying the early access version, I want the full experience. I hope it lives up to my expectations!
Can't wait for this.
After the prerelease hype about Cyberpunk, I'm holding out for the reviews. But I hope it's as good as it sounds.
I've been playing Early Access for 2 years now... it's that good.
Yeah I just played the early access for like 2 hours. It's like dos2 but prettier and DnD themed now
I played it a ton on stadia, that’s how long it’s been in pre-release. It’s a great game.
Didn't Stadia shut down. Did they refund you or transfer the game to some other platform?
How was you experience with stadia? Did you like the service?
They did shut down and refunded everyone, though a few people have had some troubles getting their money back.
I greatly enjoyed stadia and was sad when it shut down, but the steam deck was a solid replacement for it for me.
That is too bad about Stadia.
The Steam deck is awesome. It has done a lot for the Linux community.
For the people who have a lot of hours on this game, how well does it play for co-op?
My spouse and I actually dated doing Star Wars the Old Republic co-op, where we could play two different characters going through bespoke personal quest lines while being able to help each other out on their journies.
How easily could we get that experience with this game?
It worked great even a few years ago, and I assume has only gotten better. My friend and I did a playthrough in co-op, and we each had an npc we sort of claimed both in combat as well as for talking to. We could be in completely different places on the map and talking with different characters, and those conversations would affect the world, like we were two different people making decisions. There were some clunky bits, but that was about 5 or 6 major patches ago. It's gotten even better since then, and we're planning on a big playthrough with my friend, my partner, and I. It's not going to be necessarily like TOR in the way that each of you would have completely independent stories you're doing, but it feels really close to an actual game of dnd. And at any point if someone is on a conversation/cutscene you can eavesdrop/observe on it too, and make recommendations on which options to pick.
Why is everyone saying "bespoke" all the time all of a sudden?
Currently poor, so playing the pirated Early Access version. It's both amazing and hilariously glitchy. I'm excited to try the full version.
