hey, it also has one of the best boss themes ever made, in which the fucking boss himself does the lyrics, give them some credit

The music priorities for this game were weird.
Okay do well have one song, and there will be sad and happy and instrumental versions of that song. And we'll use that song for everything requiring music. Except for this one optional boss battle that is the result of specific choices that were made. He gets a super dope completely different song that he sings himself.
Man that one optional song started and I was just like "Oh holy shit this is a fucking banger" and added it to my dialy song playlists
I shat bricks, because you know it, when the boss starts singing its own soundtrack, you are in for a though fight
see I wanna agree but one of my favorite game OSTs, Undertale, does exactly the same thing, so I can't knock the approach

That's because he's actually the last boss and he gets what he deserves.
At least the song is 🔥
The harpy version is stuck on my head for days every time I go through that part

I don't see how they could make the level cap 20. The spells would be really hard to regulate at that point.
Neverwinter Nights 2 and BG2 had 9th level spells in a real time with pause game and it worked fine. So it is totally doable, especially since BG3 is turn based.
How tf would you implement Wish though
just because you add spells doesnt mean you need to add ALL spells, not every spell is available levels 1-9 in BG3. We just dont need to add in things like Wish.
As a side quest or dialogue, which is what bg2 did

Of course it is technically possible.
What they mean is how difficult it is to balance.
I'm fine with it being unbalanced like Throne of Bhaal was, where the only people who stood a chance against you were other children of Bhaal. That was a blast and a unique experience for a crpg with some really cool powers.
Imo it shouldn't be balanced. But there has to be buildup in the story and ToB had two full games of it.

They can't and said as much for specifically this reason. Probably the best video game to come out in recent memory, but people will still bitch.
No, they can, they just have to accept that it isn't supposed to be a balanced experience in the first place. It was an absolute blast in throne of Bhaal. They would need a story that actually justifies it though.
Also, is anyone actually "bitching" about it? people just want more bg3 with their character and who can blame them for that?

Wait until OP discovers there's a whole ~RPG~ dating sim after the character creator.
Make the inventory less clunky.
I have 2 requests to improve inventory management:
-
Let us rename pouches/backpacks so we know what we stored there.
-
Let items you pickup stack with items inside your backpacks/pouches. They already do this with alchemy items and food, so the code is partially there.
Also allow scrolls in a backpack to be accessible in the context menu.
And allow those bags to be opened when it is not your turn.

Replaying Hades, the music literally makes me go look up the artists on Spotify and follow them
I believe the composer, Darren Korb, also voiced Zagreus and Orpheus.

Yeah the first 10 hours it's like nice and all. After 80 hours you just wanna drown her in this damn river. Also the way the music swells everytime you kill an enemy....
I'm 120hr in and honestly still love it. I still do wish there was a lot more variance in music though for sure.
Replay as an evil bard and smash her fucking mandolin.
Every time.
O sing a song of Balduran, who founded Baldur's Gaaaaaate.
Empire golden built on trade, could not avert his faaaaaaate.
I always belt that shit out with the singer in the tavern when I long rest. Shit gets stuck in my head so bad.
Don't tie all the best items to characters that you might kill or not save in a durge playthrough.
Durge needs not special items. Durge needs only murder.
Gale's bloody hand is worth more than any bonus Gale can give.

All I can hear when I hear the main theme is "highway to the danger zone". And now I have infected the rest of you.
I usually play when everyone else is asleep, so the volume is never high enough to hear the music. I'm safe from your curse.
I remember Divinity Original Sin was the same, the song was really shrill too, they don't appear to have a good track record with a games musical score
Likely no dlc, hasbro laid off their side of the team who built the game so making more dnd content would probably be too much of a hassle and struggle for larian

I have one single mod: disable the music in elfsong tavern
Loot boxes! Pay to win!
I'm having trouble finding the battle pass. It must be in the menus somewhere.

The most important way BG3 can improve is by fixing the right-click to examine bug.
If you try to examine anything during initiative while another player is selecting a reaction, it breaks examining until the next load screen. Happens nearly every initiative in my four player campaign.
Artificer would be great. I wonder if they didn't purchase the rights to that sourcebook.
This is Twisted Force erasure.
