Reading bad reviews of BG3 and I swear there's a sizable number of people who've never actually played the old-school RPGs like BG1+2 but LARP as though they did to poo poo on newer RPGs in general. For example, I keep seeing poo poo like "In Baldur's Gate 3, people talk like modern Americans and act very silly. This is a disgrace to the series!", and I'm so loving awestruck by how someone can say that with a straight face if they ever touched the first two games. A similar thing I've observed is people alleging the old Fallouts were all about political choices and "you have to make hard choices where not everyone can be happy" and that's also a big load of horseshit; every settlement ending in Fallout 1 and 2 is something like "The city thrives after the Vault Dweller/Chosen One did something nice" or "The city is dead because the Vault Dweller/Chosen One did something stupidly evil".

I have no desire to play BG3, but I've heard that it has multiplayer. How the gently caress does that work? I assume only one person gets to be the main character and everyone else controls a party member during combat? Seems like the whole game would slow to a crawl as you wait for someone to go through an NPC dialogue tree. How the hell does it work?

Seems like the whole game would slow to a crawl as you wait for someone to go through an NPC dialogue tree. In MP, you can make your own custom characters or play as one of the companion characters, but generally you control your own character and do whatever you want. You can listen in on other people's conversations with other NPCs, take the lead on certain things because your skills are best suited, and so on. Its tied to a host file so its not ideal if you want to experience all of the story, but it works pretty great.

Way of the Samurai 3 is the amnesiac samurai one where you wind up getting rescued by a bunch of villagers and then go around apologizing for making their lives poo poo.

I know BG2 (and maybe 1) had multiplayer back in the day, but never actually used it (other than it would let you make extra custom characters and bring them along even in single player). Does BG3 make a "you must gather your party before venturing forth" joke?

I'm currently working my way through the White Palace and I have no idea what you mean by Void Heart, just a yes or no, should I stop what I'm doing and get the first ending?

DaysBefore posted:Siding with the goblins and attacking the druids felt really messed up in a good way lol. Really just miserable evil poo poo. Was shocked they didn't let me Anakin Skywalker that cave full of kids myself. One of the few times in RPGs where being a bad guy actually felt good you get to whip out insanely sick evil lines on the guy you betray to his face at the gate. as dark urge you get to pwn a child when you first walk into kahga's room or w/e then dunk on their parents. also as dark urge (think anybody can do it but dark urge gets the hilarious jack the ripper dialogue) theres a graveyard of ppl that end up dying in the druid place and you can desecrate their graves lmfao.

Plan is to do the Grimm stuff next, then I'll finally do the ending. It's pretty rare a game gets me like this where I put off the ending forever because I just don't want it to end.

Is there an easier way to split health potions for the party? Getting tired of having to split the stack then split the stack then give the other 3 stacks to each other character. Just let the entire party use any potion regardless of who has it, I'm tired of inventory juggling.

i tested it and not only does throwing it heal the same i think it makes it an AOE. uses an action though. not too different from a cleric heal anyways and makes the regular heal pot sorta more useful

I think the funniest throwing thing I've seen is that throwing a spear from a height does weapon damage and then crushig damage because after the pointy thing stabbed them, it also landed on them.
