    Bioware has ZERO chance of making something like BG3
    BG3 unrionically felt like a bioware game developed after Dragon Age Origins.
    Modern Bioware hasn't made a game on the same level as Dragon age origins in decades.

        BG3 was developed in VERY unique circ*mstances that a major company like Bioware would never be able to replicate.
        That's why you had a bunch of developers cry and sperg out saying to not expect games to be on the same level as BG3 ,basically admitting they themselves will never be able to reach that level.

          >forced romance
          romance in games like BG2 was actually fun. you had elf girls fighting over you and made you pick sides. if you slept with the innocent one early, she will reject you for going to fast for her, while the other will hate you.
          but you are right, romance in mass effect was on the nose. at the end of a mass effect game, usually the entire crew formed a line in front of your quarters and asked for a quick frick. the only good thing was that you had clear options to reject everyone coming onto you without outright insulting and murdering them.
          but the downside of bioware games aren't the pity romances. it's the lack of freedom. you are forced to take the most moronic people with you and never get an option to kick them off the ship. I will never forget how you are playing as the number 1 elite human of the universe, and then have to take a literal moron on board who constantly berates you, treats you with no respect at all, and expects you to thank her. after 12 years, I am still mad.

            Ash is a grunt. Ofcourse shes moronic, her job is literally to just to be shot at.
            >constantly berates you, treats you with no respect at all, and expects you to thank her.
            Again, shes a female in the military. They never realized that theyre diversity hires and all of their ranks are given, not earned. They cant even pass fitness tests, its hilarious how anyone thinks women should be in any role besides off field support.

              I'm not arguing that an annoying, disrespectful military b***h is unrealistic or out of place. I'm arguing that you should not have to invite her into your party, then onto your ship, then keep her on the ship until you can nuke her in the end of the game. I want to leave her behind or even kill her, and then MAYBE get a scolding ending note like "Sadly, Shepard was so cruel and killed a soldier once yadda yadda maybe the abyss in shepards soul yadda yadda". I don't care for sh*tty NPCs, and I don't care for RPGs that leave you no choice as to endure sh*tty NPCs.

                I mean I bring her on missions. I understand that shes essential because bioware is bad at making games. Mass effect is a fun setting, if it wasnt then the gameplay and mechanics wouldnt hold up. That's the same reason people buy elder scrolls and fallout games despite bethesdas track record of sh*t.

        It’s kind of like bg3 in the “roleplay how you want” category. You can seriously frick up the world in origins, and the game tried to account for whatever decision you made. It also did grim dark fantasy pretty well, the lore of the world was really interesting. That said, it has limitations of the era. The battle system isn’t winning any awards, and the areas and some of the events (mage tower anyone?) are annoying as frick on repeat. It’s an unforgettable game, and one you should absolutely play. With mods.

          You remind me when I made a character in Elden Ring and I couldn't tell the different between body type A and B so I had to go back and switch from the Knight class to the barbarian so I could tell which one was the girl and then go back to the Knight and then forward against and pick body type A so I could play as a guy. Most non-sensical cryptic sh*t I've ever had to deal with in a video game.

    There won't be another cultural masterpiece like BG3, they can chase that high all they want but it will be futile. BG3 was GOTY because of many reasons these corporate cucks fail to understand.

      The corporate cucks may fail to understand what made BG3 a good game, but they're more than happy with Larian for catering to ESG/DEI design choices where they have. That's why Larian was invited to these big-wig award shows and went on a big press tour with all the main outlets.

    It must be embarrassing for devs to make games like this, doomed to guaranteed flop, when there's genuinely low-effort gachatrash out there that prints money because they fill it with anime prostitutes in a skimpy bikinis. Why bother trying to appeal to your audience (lol, as if this game is appealing to anyone) when you can just mindbreak normalgays into gambling addicts for softcore p*rnography instead?

    Gaming is dead by the way.

      I agree with you, gaming is taking a sad and dark turn with the focus on service-sh*t and gachatrash where the ambition is to "hook" people for money over time rather than a pay-once-for-a-product. But it's harder than it looks. You never hear about the dead gachas, the ones that never make it off the ground. You hear about the same 5-10 big ones that print infinite money but don't forget that there are tens of thousands of dead gachas that will never reach those heights. Gacha sucks ass but whale-hunting is a bloodthirsty business and very few reach as far as they'd want.

    neither of these games will come within shouting distance of Baldur's Gate 3 or its cultural impact. Avowed is gonna be Outer Worlds 2: Medieval, and Veilguard will be Andromeda 2: Medieval. both will release to mediocre reviews and forever live in the shadow of BG3. Larian just understand fundamental aspects of game dev that have been lost on Western devs like these for the past decade.

      >he fell for the rampant sh*tposting
      This is why opinions on Ganker are usually not trustworthy anymore. People have become so mentally damaged by agenda pushing you can literally have just one guy posting in every single thread samegayging a billion times to try and make it look like his one single opinion speaks for everybody else.

        >games that have been in development for years are now chasing that BG3 high (26)

        only moronic puritans wrote BG3 off as some kinda beasti*al*ty simulator because of an optional companion you can't even meet unless you go outta your way to solve the "Halsin is Missing" quest in Act 1. people used to complain all the time about gender locked romances, and make mods to circumvent them. the number of bisexual characters in BG3 is a QoL feature as far as anyone with two brain cells to rub together is concerned. it's probably the biggest, most successful, most culturally significant game that's come out since Elden Ring.

        it boggles my mind that Larian made a feature length, narrative-driven CRPG in current year, with a predominantly European cast, and no DLC microtransaction live service garbage–and some of you STILL have to find something to complain about. does big live service have you guys on payroll to disparage anything without a Premium Battle Pass or something? sh*t is ridiculous. goooo frick yourself.
