If you're against this you're a Baldur's Gatekeeper.

(I don't know anything about Baldur's Gate.)

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Dungeons and dragons videogame

[-] NoisyOwl@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Okay, I did know that about Baldur's Gate.

I also know it's horny, had a surprisingly high budget for an RPG, and gets medieval armor wrong.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

It's very well made. Also the characters are certainly horny but my ace playthrough is going great and all the NPCs still like me

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Unless it's hardcore full-frontal from start to finish it won't accurately capture the spirit of the game. They've only got an hour per episode to pack with weird horniness.

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Here's some more slop you mindless drones.

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

The reason I liked Baldurs Gate? The brand, obviously brainworms

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I'd argue that the brand of D&D definitely got a lot of people to buy it that wouldn't have bought Divinity Original Sin 3.

Whatever, just another video game tv series most will forget.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

wasn't there a d&d movie recently?

[-] Surreal@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago

And it was amazing

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Karlach's facial expression here is how I feel about this.

Somebody doesn't understand the allure of Baldurs Gate 🤔

Which ensures it'll be fast tracked and on the service by March.

Could we not though, not counting EA I'm like 60 hours in and haven't cleared act 2 - and already have plans for a second run. I don't have TIME for a BG show.

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Netflix has done a choose your own adventure before. Would be interesting to see a BG3 one.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Run-time will be split 50/50 between a live-action bisexual harem anime and random comedy violence on goblins.

Surprisingly from me, pass

[-] Commiejones@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Put me down for $20 they do make it, $50 for it is hot trash, and $10 for they make a second season

[-] Four_lights77@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Hey - if Larian gets some of that Netflix munny it’ll probably make another awesome game in 4-6 years. I’m down for that. And there’s still that very slim possibility it’s actually good. I’m going to choose to be cautiously optimistic.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'll play devils pessimist and say that if Larian gets more money then the next game will probably be hot garbage because they'll have even more sponsors/investors to have to answer to.

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

How much money would Larian even get? WotC owns the IP and licensed it to Larian for BG3.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah, most likely most of it would just go into WotC pockets.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I imagine Larian owns the specific BG3 characters though.

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Some of the characters are from DnD Forgotton Realms lore like Elminster, while some other characters are from previous BG games not originated by Larian like Minsc.

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Agree. Part of why they've made such great stuff is that they're independent and self-publishing. There's nobody to rush them to market, and nobody outside the organization meddling in development. If Netflix (or some other company) gets its claws into them, I'd expect to see a huge drop in quality in favor of more focus-grouped bazinga bullshit.

[-] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Otoh Larian isn't public, yet. As long as the company doesn't end up on soulless cunts in suits' hands, I'd bet on Larian to make a good game.

Top guy looks like a big nerd too, that's a good sign.

Netflix has a reasonable track record with these things, maybe I'll even watch it if they show hog.

Just don't.

[-] xXthrowawayXx@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Did you think three was where it would end?

There’ll be a sword coast ride at Disneyland before this is over!
