>beards on women
on the one hand, woke bullshit etc etc. On the other, I'm impressed they committed to it when so many character creators won't and I find myself wondering how the female dwarves look

What did they force poor Jim Cummings (as Minsc) to say this time?
>"Boo say he dragon trapped in hamster body! Also say he wish to discuss feminism and critical race theory with player character!"
I knew a guy who did battle animations for the original BG1 and perhaps BG2 (although possibly not, as he was doing his damnedest to leave Bioware by then, having seen the way the wind was blowing). Said even back in 1999-2000, Bioware were total cunts (my interpretation; his actual words were more like "Um, yeah, well, it's not really working out…"). Not sure where he ended up, but he's probably thankful he got out before things got as bad as they are today.

They literally just released 1/3 of the game in an unfinished state.
"But, it's totally okay guys because Larian said it was unfinished!"
At least 700.000 people bought into this shit.

And my friends wonder why I still fire up games from the late 80's and 90s.
Commander Keen may not come in 4K but I didn't pay $30 and get a game where 1/3rd of the content was done, with a completion date of "who fucking knows?"

They arguably already did, just look at Anthem and Fallout 76.

Baldur's Gate was never good. And the third one is even worse than it's predecessors simply for being marxist propaganda, and not a game.

>Paying for shareware
in the mid-90s, if you didn't have the internet or couldn't find a site with what you wanted or just didn't want to deal with downloading a 20MB game over your 14400 baud modem, you could always head down to Walmart or wherever and drop 5 bucks on a boxed copy of a shareware game
advantages:
the average shareware episode was the size of a full game
if you had Compuserve at home this negated the timed internet charge
if you had Prodigy at home this negated the charge by volume of data downloaded
it's fucking physical media
disadvantages:
you had to get your ass down to the store

Same developer and the same engine.
Except the game now runs on (modified) D&D 5E rules.
However, the two do look remarkably similar.
This includes stuff like environmental hazards and an opening where the player is stranded on a beach after a ship crashes.

Larian wasn't upset, it was hack "journalists" that took Larian's sarcastic post about the characters people are playing and tried to spin a "story" about it.

Also, why in the name of fuck would I want my character to look like a circus clown?
Especially, if the game is a 30-hour RPG.

On the other hand, you guys really should be heartened by the fact that most people default to white male. It means the programming isn't as strong as the narrative often makes it seem.
I mean, they're scolding an entire player base for going white human male. An ENTIRE FUCKING PLAYER BASE.
This is on a whole another level of redpilling. They are insulting the average normie for just wanting to be himself in a game.

Most people defaulted to white male because the character creator is sub par, I would've loved to see them include height and body sliders and then come out with the analytics showing that the most popular choice was lolis like what happened with tera. That would be some genuine journalist butthurt rather than the faux outrage that we got.

I think programming is successful, because you yourself show how you consider white human males to be anything special.

It's now sold over 1 million copies.
I'm honestly shocked this many people are willing to sit through what little content they have.
Moreover, I'm fairly certain Larian isn't hurting for cash, but what studio wouldn't take this kind of deal.

I am so old i remember when beta testing was a job with paid wages. It was relatively low paying one, and you had to manage it with a team of other testers, but it was a job. Nowadays this job doesn't exist to pay less for employees IT companies don't need because idiot consumer would do it himself and even give you money instead of you wasting your shekels.

No, but I certainly didn't expect it to ship a +million through the opening week of EA.
The one friend I have who bought it, bought it because it was Larian.
And, he's never even touched a BG game before.
