Baldur's Gate 3 Is Still Doing Fighter Wrong

Larian has added Arcane Archer to the game instead of several much better Fighter subclasses.

1) If you're never playing it again, why do you even care?
2) Subclasses don't scale exactly like 5e in BG3, some features are given early and are buffed (such as the draconic sorcerers wings, BG3: lvl10, 5e: lvl14). So it's very likely the arrows will be getting an earlier buff too.
3) Even in 5e, AA gets plenty of features just between 1-10, and there are already items that synergize well with it.
4) Echo knight: Critical Role content. Gunslinger: not official content and no guns in the game. Psi warrior: we already get a ton of psionic stuff from tadpoles. Rune Knight: Sure, would have been cool, but mechanically probably hell to try and implement without the rune mechanisms either breaking or becoming exploitable.

All in all, I don't see the problem here. Arcane Archer is a solid subclass in 5e already, and we don't know how it will be balanced for BG3 yet. So it's a bit early to complain about it. All I know, is that there there are already fitting items for the subclass, and it has huge potential in builds.

Oooof. I have very little hope for this with how badly they screwed up Season 2. I loved and re-watched the first season of The Las of Us 4-5 times now. Only watched season 2 once and will not be watching Season 3 unless I'm very bored. The fact that Larian isn't involved is also another red flag.

TLOU show creator…oh God

There’s a reason why the show went from “Season 4 and possibly beyond” to “it might end at Season 3”

Daeloki93d ago

I mean regardless of who's making it, there's simply no hope for it.
A) Larian is not involved. This is gonna be pure Hasbro greed.
B) It's a game that largely revolves around player choice, with tons of outcomes and replayability. There is no single canon to translate into a show.
C) It's a high fantasy setting, with spectacular visuals that are going to be very expensive, and also very difficult to get to look actually good in live action.

Only potential they have is if they lean into campiness, make it vibe like old 90's, early 2000's fantasy shows like Xena, Mystic Knights etc. Less epic and more failed skill checks, "wrong" choices.

From what I have read, The Last of Us season 2 woes, was because of Neil Druckman. I have hope for season 3 now that he is out if the equation. I have hope for BG live action show. Its also being worked in by the team that did Chernobyl.

Shaky Relationship meaning Hasbro wanted an even larger cut of the pie moving forward. Also why we're not getting BG4 w/Larian. Hasbro just wanted to bleed them dry.

Michiel1989119d ago

no im pretty sure it was related to the people from hasbro that helped with the game getting fired or that only the people from Larian were eligible for bonusses and Larian didn't fuck with that

Christopher119d ago

The people from Hasbro were fired by Hasbro. Why would non-workers on a game get bonuses for not having worked on the game (meaning anyone at Hasbro)?

repsahj120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

Because they are busy for the next Divinity game on Switch 2. Fine by me because I already have BG3 on my PS5, and believe me or not, I didn't finish it. Considering I bought the Deluxe edition to play it ahead of everyone. XD

gigoran8119d ago

if this were able to run on the switch 2, then theoretically the PS4 pro should be able to as well. can't wait for that port

Neonridr119d ago (Edited 119d ago )

you do realize that in terms of numbers it might be on par with a PS4 Pro. However, GPU wise, it has a much larger feature set available to it. The PS4 Pro couldn't even run FSR natively.

Terry_B119d ago

Yeah..I doubt BG3 would run well on the Switch 2.
