- Credits roll, and we have some thoughts. This is an edited clip of our post credits discussion as soon we finished the game. This is meant to showcase our gut reactions to the game's ending.
let me know if you'd like a more in-depth video discussion on my thoughts of the game!
You can watch out entire playthrough here on the channel, and catch our second playthrough in my Live tab in case you missed the stream. - Hry
I agree with a lot of this. Every act is a 10/10, and the epilogue is about a 7/10. There are some things that can be improved, but it's mostly small nitpicks or bugs.
I know act 3 is a little less good than the other 2, but it's also the most alive and populated a video game city has ever felt, so I can look past a few issues for it.
Yep, 100% agree, the ending was like, yep, that's it, few words with a few people and that's just it.
Devil's advocate: I think the way they made Act 3 quests reward so much exp and items were meant as a failsafe for players who flatout refused to do extra content for levels. Namely, roleplay orientated players. I played as a Githyanki warrior who b-lined straight to the Creche. My internal justification was that I didn't care about the goblin/tiefling conflict and that my own people will help me far more than some druid or some goblin priestess. After delivering the artifact and removing the parasite failed, I was sorely underleveled for Act 2 and it was far more challenging for this character. By contrast, my main character who had already completed the game was level 6 (close to 7) by the time he hit Act 2 by way of traversing through the Underdark passage. However, by Act 3, my gith was in EXP nirvana in Baldur's Gate proper. I never had to go back to finish additional content and overall Act 3 felt like a reward for sticking to this playstyle than a hinderance.
tl;dr: I think Act 3's extra content is designed for people who, for whatever reason, skipped the majority of Act 1 + Act 2 content for roleplay reasons. By contrast, other cRPGs makes it feel like if you don't grind out levels (even if it doesn't make sense to from your character's perspective) you will objectively have a harder time later on with no failsafe quests + exp to carry you through late game.
I think y'all are spot on about the ending and also the power level of being Level 12. There's a lot of cut audio that references a different ending than the one we got and it plays out more like DOS2 so hopefully we get that one day.
ENdling slides are missing REAAAAAL BAD
Yeah, the ending needs work for sure
Excited to try Act 3 on Tactician. Hopefully we don't steamroll everything.
Dude did not care and kept interrupting lmao
