I don't suppose many might be interested in a tech demo analysis from a professional artist's perspective, but at the very least I am

That NPC interraction clip looks awesome, the world seems truly alive :) Will be awaiting a full presentation

I hate it in most negative way possible. Usually, when I play a hard and challenging game, and it beats my arse, I am more than willing to try again and again. And when I eventually succeed, I feel sense of accomplishment and relief. In comparison, in BG3, I feel nothing but frustration on...

I hate combat in this game already.

They did a bit already, although not for that reason :P. That being said, Lae'zel speedruned to them faster than him :P. But in all honesty, Lae'zel takes a similar niche in a party to my main character, and that combined with a worldview difference between my character and her* might make me to...

I have played Baldur's Gate III for the first time today and I made a dwarven paladin as my character. This is in a way a reference to the first time I played original BG1, many years ago (I have picked Paladin as well, though the playthrough was never finished). First impressions are mostly...

Will Arkveld be able to become a Guardian? Let's find out! Act III of Hell difficulty with this character will be remembered by me as an Act in which Durga died over and over again, mostly when facing enemies I can't deal with quickly. I was really annoyed with that. But I did the old routine...

Hell for Arkveld begins ... Or so I'd like to say, but in all honesty, it isn't that bad. Demons and undead can be dealt with without issue, usually. AS for non-demons, Fist of Heavens combined with the Conviction aura deals okay damage. More often than not, I am also able to break monsters'...

Arkveld's preparations for Hell This is going to be mostly updated via screenshots. Before entering Hell difficulty, I've been grinding mostly in Terror Zones, since I needed to find good bases for two Spirit rune words. Bosses aren't optimal for that. Finding a grand charm like that one is...

Time for Arkveld to deal with the rest of the Nightmare difficulty. Nice, but useless for Arkveld find: I like set items with sockets in them, it allows some neat customization (in the business we call that foreshadowing) I don't have a screenshot of finding Khalim's Eye, but as a distracion...

Same, finally got myself a BG3. Will be giving it a chance once my current challenge run in other game is over and described on this forum. I have no idea what character I'd like to make as my first. That being said, due to this game coming out in 2023, I had at least some things spoiled and I...

Arkveld's blitz through Nightmare difficulty, part I Okay, so I have no idea how to begin this post, so I'll say this: I finally get myself BG3 and I intend to start my playthrough once I'm done with Arkveld. To this end, I really am hoping for the succesful way to become Guardian. I have done...

Arkveld's adventure through the normal difficulty continues Act III contains a plenty of enemies that are neither demons nor undead, so I wasn't able to use the Holy Bolt as much as I'd like. Luckily, even 1 point into Zeal and Might was more than enough, especially with a support from Durga. I...

I want to ressurect this topic, since I managed to do it in IWD, but in my case it was with a thrown dagger (+4 enchanted, found in Heart of Winter expansion). The game is not modded, I just use thed standard Enhanced Edition of Icewind Dale. You can see me pausing and hovering the mouse...

It is time to make an honest attempt to make a Guardian out of character I haven't succeeded before - Paladin. Meet Arkveld The plan for him is to be a Fist of Heaven/Holy Bolt Paladin with a Convinction aura. Act II desert mercenary will be his companion - I haven't used these guys for a...

I do agree, especially with the last sentence. It was because of impatience that I failed the run on the Hell difficulty. About defense, I am not sure about it being utterly useless in most scenarios (even without multipliers). Just in case in which enemies outlevel me by 14 levels, yeah, I can...

Blood and Fire Golems are attempting Hell Difficulty... Because let's be honest, Cromwell doesn't do much But first, pre-hell grinding. In terms of notable loot by going through the terrorized zones and the secret cow level: - Found a Lidless Wall and asked Larzuk to make a socket in it. Then...

Cromwell takes on rest of the Nightmare difficulty! Very early at the beginning of Act IV, I have found a 3-socketed Dragon Shield and made a Ancient's Pledge runeword in it. It enables me higher gear flexibility, and besides, my Rhyme shield was made in +3 to Iron Maiden necro shield, a skill...

Just to let you know: I don't have time right now to read all of the brochure, but I find the topic interesting and I most likely will return here to share some of my thoughs
