i bought it at ea launch so i could gently caress around with it with some buddies and the combat is a fun dnd style twist on the dos2 combat, which should tell you all you need to know if you enjoyed that one.

absolutely 100% dont buy it until its out at this point because theyre going to wipe the saves and like other larian games theres a long runup until you can truly get started

so is jagged alliance closer to xcom or silent storm in terms of moment to moment gameplay? I’ve never played the series but always wanted to

FYI if you gotta get it day 1 you should always keep an eye on fanatical and other key sellers for any big dick deal release rather than buying direct, as you can p reliably find 15-20% off deals because they mass buy keys at wholesale price or whatever

its worse but its a tutorial so its like 1000% shorter, then it dumps you on to a decent sized map (bigger than the prison). no idea what it looks like when you get to the city but im excited to see what they did

The dos2 intro dungeon was certainly an improvement over the dos1 intro dungeon. You can ransack everything in the starting shanty town and be getting brutally torn to bits by crocodiles within like half an hour.

The bear beastiality video kind of has me worried about bg3 tbh, though. Those other larian games had way too much monkeycheese type poo poo going on. Are the enchanted wells going to make a comeback? Those gremlin guys in your base? Remains to be seen

The Bhaal story was pretty much complete in the BG2 expansion. It seems like more than half of BG3 will take place in and around Baldur's Gate

edit:

In a Reddit AMA, Vincke said, "We really don't want to spoil anything but we wouldn't call it Baldur’s Gate 3 if there wouldn't be a link. Let me just say that we touch upon the story of BG 1 & 2 in meaningful ways, there are returning characters and what happened in BG 1/2/tob leads to what happens into BG3."

one of the character origin options is called dark urge and is almost certainly about being a bhaalspawn

Yeah and I will so long as it doesn't override how fun the game is. It's just embarrassing to play something like that with someone watching or in some cases just being in earshot. Shameful humor/beastiality
