Karlach is a simple gal, Duergar are bad slavers, Nere is bad Absolutist and also a slaver. Why side with either when you can chop both into pieces and kill two slaver birds with one greataxe!

LTT has been an entertainment channel with a drop of info for a while now, their content is pretty much only suitable as background filler while eating food. Their thumbnails and titles are also unusable without extensions to decipher them (shoutout to DeArrow from Ajay Ramachandran). For the actual good tech info you to go Hardware Unboxed or the very creator of this video.

Watch the video and then decide if you are still excited about it. The one video when they announced the power supply test lab is one of the many ones called out for misinformation in this very video. With their standard of information being what is it, no data they provide should be used for any serious purchase decisions.

Looks much better than the Teaser they released before, that thing was a massive disappointment. I wish they shown some actual gameplay but at least they nailed the atmosphere of the colony and the Old Camp pretty well. Here's hoping the Polish voice acting will be as legendary as in the original!

I was really torn between a human storm sorcerer or a half-orc battle master but ultimately decided to go with a gold dwarf hunter using a heavy crossbow. Fits in very well with my preferred party companions (Karlach and Shadowheart as frontline, me and Gale as backline) and has Talk to Animals which is really nice to have in Larian games. I also just love the visual of a grizzled dwarf bounty hunter with his pet raven (taking the Beast Tamer choice for Find Familiar on character creation).

Played around 80h of Early Access and I even bought the old games and played through them before release to catch up on the world. I enjoy Baldur's Gate 3's combat a lot more, but that's mainly because I loathe real-time-with-pause combat and only suffered through it in Baldur's Gate, Pillars of Eternity and Planescape:Torment because the story and characters grabbed me enough to keep going. The game is very different and makes many changes from PnP DND ruleset, and has many "Larianisms" (spells causing surfaces, water making you weaker to lightning/cold but resistant to fire height giving advantage/disadvantage to attacks) but none of them detract from the experience. If you're not a D&D purists you will probably enjoy it after some getting used to it. As for the story and characters, it's hard to say much as we only had access to the small portion that is (not even the entirety of) Act 1 during Early Access, but what's there has been incredible.
In short, it's not like the old games, but I think considering it's been 23 years since the last game and this one is developed by an entirely different studio, it would be incredibly unfair to judge it based on that.

Very happy to see that, I know it was pretty obvious they wouldn't abandon that IP but it's still nice to have a confirmation. I loved Divinity: OS 2, one of my favourite RPGs, and I'm extremely excited to play Baldur's Gate 3 in a few days. With everything they learned during it's long production, I'm sure the next Divinity will be an incredible game, whenever it comes out!
