Baldur's Gate 3 Is Far Bigger And Stranger Than We Thought - Larian's Swen Vincke Interview

There's still so much more to talk about in Baldur's Gate 3, if you have any questions that I wasn't able to cover in this interview, hit me up with them right here or on Twitter (@irregulardave) and I'll do my best to answer them....or find out the answer!

Dave wants to charm a bear he said.... Oh if he only knew😂

The game was great because it was done from home

And we are 20 days away

Love what Sven is trying to do and the company. Definitely has my financial support

No DM kit... so many years have passed, and it seems many more will pass until a game comes to sit on NWN2's empty throne.

Damn, that gnome went flying in my current playthrough of the game and We found him dead near the well. It was funny watching him fly through the air though. If I knew there was more to him I'd have re-loaded the game

Will it pay off that we don't see content in the first run?

Larian, the new Bioware

Baldur's gate, the Witcher Story

Why am I watching this after putting 70 hrs into early access? No idea

Where can we get those T-Shirts ? id give an arm for 1 please !!!

So far the biggest disappointment I have spent money on. Not because of the bugs, but because it does not deliver on its promise of a DnD experiance at all. It is barely based on the 5th ed rules, by barely I mean most of the core stuff is basically thrown out the window in order to make yet another Divinity game instead. They claim to be basing this in the world of the Forgotten Realms yet use their own lore and rules for the world instead of stuff that has been established. So far even it it was a finished product with no bugs, in this form it's a 2/10 star game unless they massively change things and actually listen to the community on their EA forums about how to make the game feel less like Divinity 3 and more like a BG game. Unfortunately they didn't listen to any feedback from any of their other EA games so why would they start now.

Swen is a genius. There's no room for doubt about his creativity. But by the current looks, I really would love for the game to be titled 'Baldur's Divine Sin'. xD

Seriously, hopefully the art direction will shift to a heavier tone. It doesn't necessarily need to look dark or forboding, but you get the idea. And I don't mind it being turn-based, which is a superior combat system to rtwp imo.

Class act.

just remember in BG3 you can Kill EVERYONE

Bring It, Larian. 💖👍🏿

Ultimate game is it coming to Console?

Ugh, I'm not impressed at all. A pass for me.

Will this game ever return to gaming console's?

Steam has the DL file at 150g. Thats the biggest one i've ever seen

The interviewer seemed genuinely uninterested.

Can anyone tell me if early access is free or paid been on website and had it on my wishlist for a while now and still no price so is it free early access or paid

If it has local co-op like the old Baldur's Gate games, I'm pretty much sold with these graphics & open world... But I HATE that you made it turn based. The Action RPG element of Baldur's Gate was part of it's greatness, turnbased is an immersion killer.

Well ... ladies and gentlemen... those people is creating a game not a micro transaction game 🙃👍

I have no doubt that this will be a great RPG. I’ve been playing Baldur’s gate 1 and 2 a lot recently and this just doesn’t look like it will fit the Baldur’s gate name at all.

Would choose BG2.5 over this. Will follow updates since this is pre-alpha but I am not holding my breath.

I think it's really great that a ton of players won't get to play it because its pc only. Including me......Awesome.

Where can i buy this Baldur's Gate 3 t-shirt dudes? I need it for collection

Do you get anything else for early access... bonus items? Or do you just get to play sooner, and have to start over when the "complete" game is done?

"much bigger than that", bye-bye social life, welcome BG3!

how do i get early access dammit!!!

yes can i have ty

The party should be 6 not 4

Very excited for this game but skeptical of early access release games since they basically just use paying customers as beta testers but I feel like there's less room here since this is an roleplaying rpg

It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!

It only goes to character level 10. Can’t be that big

Good interviewer

Bruh this game is giant

Calling it. The "kind of bear" is an owlbear.

so is shadowheart still the same as the originally introduced model? I really hope so

15-20hrs ?..... that’s not much at all

Is Lolth gonna be in the game? If so, take my money! I love her and Shar a lot!

Currently getting down on divinity 2 on xbox and never played anything from this developer and what a pleasant surprise!! Your past work may speak for itself and earn more sales.

This is a game I will trust and join the Alpha. Not mainly because I'm hyped, but more because I trust the studio to do something awesome and I want to see it change from Alpha to full release while supporting the devs :)

yes..but 4 ppl party it''s a shit

Can we please get this for xbox series X .... This is the game Ive always wanted...

I really hope we get to meet Drizzt and Minsc and many more beloved forgotten realms characters in this game!

If there is no barbarian I will be pissed
