  I haven’t played it myself (yet) but apparently Divinity Original Sin 2 was similar and the “Definitive Edition” that came about a year later fixed Act 3. So I hope the same thing happens for BG3.

    Did owners of the unfinished edition have to pay more for the Definitive Edition?

      It came as a free update!

        I recall that it was added automatically to my library, as a separate game.

    I hope they do. Again, I’ve gotten plenty of enjoyment from the game that I’m willing to give Larian the opportunity to fix that last Act.

  I loved acts 1 and 2. But, somehow I made it through those without any mention of the names Gortash or Orin, so for them to show up at the end of act 2 and suddenly THIS is the bigger bad beyond ketheric was…weird. and then, the transition into act 3 felt very poorly executed, suddenly Gortash is THE head Duke of all of baldurs gate? Whyls dad is now mind controlled and there was no option to prevent that from happening? Just felt a little railroady after all the branching upon branching of the first two acts

    I’m telling this because I assume you have finished the game: Gortash is related to Karlach’s backstory so you can get some hints from before, and Orin is related to Dark Urge’s backstory so yeah, same.

      See that’s an issue, I didn’t use karlach and I didn’t play dark urge so I didn’t get any of that

        IIRC you also hear about Gortash from Councilor Florrick in the Last Light Inn. She says she’s going to ask him for help against Ketheric.

        I also remember reading about Gortash and Orin while rummaging through Ketheric’s things in Moonrise. They definitely were not featured prominently but they were hinted at if you go looking!

  Ah brilliant, lots of huge spoilers, nice one

    What exactly is a spoiler? That you can fight Raphael? Something that anyone can intuit the moment you meet the character. That the game comes in three acts? That the game has an ending?

      Basically everything including and past Gortach becoming the Duke. I’m in the beginning of Act 3 and had no idea there was a Raphael fight until your comment.

      Talking about plot points in the last act of the game, yes, is going to be a spoiler.

      source

      • mriormro@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        I mentioned nothing about Gortach nor any plot points for the last act. Over-policing over ‘spoilers’ is getting pretty ridiculous.

  I wonder if Thursday’s patch will help with any of that.
