Baldur’s Gate 3 is Causing Some Developers to Panic
  • Plenty of spells cast as a bonus action. With a cleric I can cast Spirt Guardians and Spiritual Weapon on the same turn. Or polymorph and mass cure wounds. It makes a significant difference for bonus action spells.

  • The most significant change I noticed was you can cast any number of leveled spells per turn. That’s a pretty significant shift from 5e’s rule of only one leveled spell (excluding using action surge if you dip into fighter) per turn.

    However it makes the player stronger so I doubt anyone is really complaining about it.

    Bards are Baldur's Gate 3's best class and I can't imagine playing it as anything else
  • Does breaking your oath make you an Oathbreaker in BG3? Because that’s not how Oathbreaker works in 5e.

    A Paladin who forsakes their oath would just be a fighter. Oathbreakers are specifically Paladins who call upon the forces of evil for their strength rather than the divine. They don’t just break their oath, but twist and pervert it for some dark power.

  • One of the biggest changes is ranges of attacks. An Eldritch Blast has a range of 120ft in 5e. In BG3 all ranged attacks have been significantly shortened (less than half for Eldritch Blast) so they can’t be targeted “off screen”.

    As a design philosophy, Larian dislikes people being hit by attacks from off screen so they limited the length of ranged attacks.

    AOC Teams Up With Workers To Take On UPS
  • Apparently America only elects milk toast centrists or right wing lunatics. Genuinely progressive politicians are completely out of the question.

  • Unfortunately auto manufacturers have lobbied billions of dollars to make sure that never happens. Plenty of us would love to try it, but as long as money rules politics it will never happen.

  • Idk if you don’t think LGBTQ+ folks deserve equal rights or think that social programs are “too generous” I’m not really interested in how nuanced the rest of you is.

    Not saying that’s your beliefs specifically. Just that enough of us are actively harmed by the results of conservative laws and governance that I’m not really interested in knowing the nuanced part of someone who supports those policies.

  • To be fair, people (on average) are a LOT worse at driving than a computer. I’d bet the percentage of humans driving into walls is much higher than self driving vehicles.

    Remember the hype around Fallout 4?
  • Considering that New Vegas had a production window of 18 months, where Fallout 4’s was 7 years, I’d say it’s a fair comparison.
