Ah, they did advise that you uninstall the EA entirely before installing the full game and making sure to manually wipe all the existing directories that windows leaves laying around.
I had a massive issue with no sound that I fixed myself because it was an existing glitch from EA caused by some other software I run on my PC but it was frustrating trying to figure it out :(
I haven't left the first act in BG3
I thought I was done with the map.
And then NOPE, there's an entire area I just stumbled into and it's huge. It may have doubled the amount of content in Act 1.
I feel a fair chunk of bg3 issues I'm having really just stem from 5e itself being simultaneously over simplified but also having inexplicable restrictions with its action economy and such.
At least larian fixed frenzy barbs to no longer be straight up broken and unplayable.
So far, Baldur's Gate 3 is good. The characters are good.
Still salty about what they did to Arcane Tricksters though.
They don't have the good gish cantrips/spells because they aren't in the PHB which is all larian has license for.
Not sure why the stiffed legerdemain though.
The gith are kind of op skill wise though, free proficiency in an entire set of skills.
what happened with eldritch knights and arcane tricksters?
Both have the same core issue. Larian didn't include spells like Booming Blade, Green-Flame Blade and Shadow Blade to the game. These are the bread and butter for subclasses like Eldritch Knights and Arcane Tricksters, who fight with a mix of melee and magic.
They also have the issue of other subclasses outstripping them by a far margin. Thieves and Battlemasters are both insanely powerful, leaving their other subclasses behind.
Arcane Tricksters get an extra kick to the head because of Mage Hand Legerdemain. In the tabletop, this allows the Mage Hand cantrip to pick locks, lockpick, disarm traps, while the rogue is at a distance. This ability defines the Arcane Trickster.
In BG3, Mage Hand Legerdemain... makes Mage Hand invisible. That's it. It can't do any of what it should do. Worse, Mage Hand is single use, once per short rest, despite being a cantrip (which are usually unlimited in use).
Oh. And if you haven't guessed, Arcane Trickster style characters are my favorite. So this really disappointed me.
The other thing the antiwar mob don't get is that the war doesn't end even if Russia manages to take Kyiv, they already have partisans galore behind the lines and they won't just go away it just becomes an insurgency thatd make Iraq and Afghanistan looks like slap fights.
At best the war will go quiet which is really what these people want "stop bothering me with your tortured screaming please, I'm trying to watch come dancing".
Check Before You Reblog advice:
In case of posts about Ukraine, if you see ANTI-WAR rhetoric, always pause and think. What is this post calling for?
stopping Western "involvement in the war"
stopping US/UK/France "support of aggression"
stopping Western "intervention in democratic processes"
If so, think what it translates to.
It mostly translates to "stop giving Ukraine weapons that are Right Now Stopping Russia from rolling over the entire country". It translates to "stop helping Ukraine defend itself against Russia". It translates, in short, to "just fuck off and let Russia do what it wants".
It is a pro-Russian propaganda. And even if it claims it is Just Simply Against All That Violence or Just Against The War In General, it's still a fucking pro-Ruskies propaganda, because that would be the result. If they got what they say, if West (and I mean by it "old NATO countries") stopped providing Ukraine with support, well, that war would be over very quickly. By having all Ukraine overrun by Russians and all Ukrainians dead, kidnapped, raped or beaten into submission.
I'm not saying it would be moments. Days. Weeks even. I'm pretty sure "new NATO countries" would do what they can - pretty certainly our MOD in Poland would scramble whatever half-decent tank they could spare to send, because it is FUCKING NEXT DOOR to us. But that would not have lasted long. You can't defend against missiles with sheer bravery and boldness. Nobody can. Not for long.
And yes, it would end the war. With the outcome favourable only to Russia.
And then, having proven that Western assurances of support mean FUCK ALL (because you know why Ukraine gave up all its nuclear arsenal? you know? if you don't, go away and find out...), they would not hesitate to gobble up whatever other country was available next. And then they'd start nibbling on NATO borders, because apparently nobody cares, so why not try Poland. Kurica nie ptica, Polsza nie zagranica - Chicken isn't a proper bird and Poland is not a proper foreign country. Let's take Poland then, and roll over it, blooding what we can...
Back to the topic.
Check what you reblog. Don't disseminate pro-Russian propaganda. Don't reblog "I don't like Putin but USSR was kind of OK" shit. Don't share "Well the collapse of USSR was an error" - these are all RU agitprop talking points.
