Not sure if Larian managed to reach out to collector’s edition owners but they said they would ship at the original August 31st release due to supply chain reasons. However the digital code to the game should have been emailed already ahead of launch.

Dont forget that launch day was moved forward a month. And unfortunately I dont think that affected the physical things.

I kinda misses the isometric, point and click era of RPG’s because I grew up in an Apple household. So I played a lot of Warcraft 2 during that time period. Is Baldur’s Gate 3 going to be that same style of game kinda in the vein of Divinty Original Sin?
fqdnDOTcom@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yep, it feels very much like a dndified version of divinity original sin 2

I will have to go watch more of the gameplay on YouTube. I’m not entirely sure what the addition of DND mechanics do to change the gameplay loop.

I’ve played both casually (BG3) in early access. The ruleset is quite different IMO

Dice rolls and punishes out of character choices, seems like

It is VERY similar to the Divinity games. It uses somewhat modified DnD 5e rules, as opposed to Divinitys’ own system (though that system took a lot of inspiration from DnD.) The RPG and world building elements will feel very familiar.
JeffCraig@citizensgaming.com 10 months ago
Yes! It’s the same developer as Divinity.
The games don’t play exactly the same, but they are the same style.

It’s basically Divinity: DnD Edition.

Yeah I’ve never been a fan of the point-and-click isometric mechanics, but I’ve been playing some BG3 and it’s pretty well done, I’m enjoying it. Definitely feels exactly like Divinity OS 2 but with DnD lore. Granted, I wasn’t a big DOS2 fan but that was mostly because the story tried so hard to be miserable all the time and make the player feel like shit for any decision they made. I’m not super far into BG3 but I don’t quite get that same vibe from it.
