Understandable, but a shame. I insist they need to make Goliaths a core race already. Have psionics been worked into 5e yet? (I haven't really been able to play in the last couple of months). I used to enjoy playing half-giants back in the 3.5 days. Kinda? some of the classes have psionic subclasses. Sorcerer has aberrant mind bloodline which focuses on psychic abilities, Rogue gets Soulknife, and I think Fighter has Psi Warrior subclass.

Man, I’m salty this doesn’t have a physical release on the consoles.

I ended up going with a Cleric first. If I ever find time to actually finish the game, I may try with other classes. Soulknife could be interesting, that was the second class I ever played back in 3.5.

Im pretty new to this and just started the original game and it is very intruiging,im pretty much playing it on the easiest mode so i can get a feel of how the game works and while its a bit fiddly im starting to enjoy playing it. I love the journal you can add your own entries into, im pretty much writing tons of back story to the characters whilst playing through it. Very cool stuff and i cant wait to get to the third game.

Time for a rerun of this, I heard the latest patch allows you to recruit a character without having to do a BAD THING early game, so I'm off to do that.

In the middle of my third character and still finding stuff I never knew in Act 1. Incredible.

Man this game sounds incredible,I'm still on chapter 6 of baldurs gate 2 and I'm thinking should I wait until I complete it or dive into BG3 right away while will playing BG2? I don't like playing sequels without completing the previous games first!

Very self contained except for a character or two.

Yeah, while BG2 is a direct sequel to BG1, BG3 is way more self-contained outside of a few returning characters.

I think that makes sense, new company, new writers. Stick a time jump in there and have plenty of references. Although I'm not too pleased about what they did to one of the original characters it's only a small annoyance in the scheme of things.

BTW, I'm fine with it not being in, but did Larian ever say why they didn't have the Alignment System in the game?

Apparently Wizards themselves didn't want Larian to use any sort of alignment system in BG3. Which does fit with how 5E and the community (outside of holdouts of course) tend to treat alignment. Like with Paladin, instead of militantly following an alignment as interpreted by the player or DM, you follow a specific code of conduct depending on your subclass. And if you break said code, you become an oathbreaker and lose access to your paladin powers. Though there is the Oathbreaker class.
Basically it's there for cosmological stuff and some spells, but otherwise alignment is purely flavor in 5E in representing your character's morality as opposed to a mechanical thing.

I've also heard Pathfinder will be getting rid of it, though,mostly due to new copyright issues.
