Ontwikkelaar Larian Studios speelde recent meer dan een uur Baldur’s Gate III tijdens de D&D Live 2020.
De gehele presentatie van Larian CEO Swen Vincke, is hieronder te bekijken. Dit is de nieuwste build van de game. Het is duidelijk te zien dat de meeste bugs van de laatste PAX-demo zijn aangepakt. Mogelijk is dit ook de build die beschikbaar komt voor Early Access in augustus.
Sinds de PAX-demo zijn deze punten aangepakt volgens Larian Studios:
- The narrator that will lead players through the game has changed to present tense/second-person narration.
- Changes have been made to the initiative system. Previous gameplay showed the side initiative, which has evolved over the past month. Characters with similar individual initiative can now be grouped together automatically, allowing players to try out combinations and align their attacks in a group initiative system. Other characters and enemies will have individual initiative.
- Vincke showed the inspiration system for the first time. Inspiration points allow the player to reroll one of their dice—a very valuable tool for when the roll of the dice decides life and death. These points are awarded to the player for finding special solutions during their playthrough.
- Reactivity to the player character: Vincke played as a custom character elf, showcasing how the world reacts to who you are and, more importantly, which decisions you have made in the past.
Baldur’s Gate III is aangekondigd voor de PC en Google Stadia. Larian wil momenteel niets zeggen over een eventuele console-port.
