I linked official sources. It does not get more official than Swen Vincke.

Please. Of course, it's a marketing video even if it is not labeled as such. Any video a company puts on their public YouTube video channel (freely accessible by billions of people) is marketing. In fact, that very video was a KS reward (starting at the $50 level and above) and if you believe it was not edited to a) make the company look as good as possible and b) make the backers feel good about themselves, maybe even by exaggerating their role as the "saviors of the company" or something like that, then I have some bridges to sell you on Mars.

The game was finished in the way of "somewhat able to be released, but not finished and buggy..."-again (like all their games before). Kickstarter was just the right solution at the right time because they were very burned by several Publishers before and didn't want anything have to do with them anymore.
Except this is not even true at all. The game was almost done when they went to Kickstarter. They were not on the brink of bankruptcy. They went to Kickstarter because it was the hip thing to do for marketing reasons and to expand their budget a bit more for the final stretch of development.
Straight from the Original Sin Kickstarter page:...
Interesting double standards and hypocrisy once again. Usually posts that use the "r" word get removed around here but when someone is fanboying for Larian then it is apparently OK.
Which is par for the course. Larian gets away with everything that other developers get lambasted for.

Never say never. They have totally reworked the story of Divinity Original Sin for the Enhanced Edition of that game and D:OS was a lot less commercially successful (though it's certainly not like BG3 needs a "total rework"). Also, Larian have already promised to deliver more content in the shape of more fleshed out endings (epilogues).

I try the (maybe) stupid things that I don't really want to do (because it'd be different from the way I want to play it) but still want to see/know if it's possible - like: pickpocket that goblin? - he has a book, I'll take that - wait, I haven't spoken with him - goblin is very sad because he'd like his book back (and tells me "I think one of your companions took it")... but maybe I want to leave him in peace with his book? (yes, from BG3)... or what happens when I shoot that NPC? etc. ...although I guess I'll play BG3 more than once, it just has too many things that affect other things and therefore different outcomes. But it's an exception I will very gladly make, in this case.
Save scumm all you want, but you're missing out on the fun.

Kind of funny that you accused the journalist of not reading the options... when you didn't read their article that mentions that they did find this and use this option.
Acleacius wrote on Aug 7, 2023, 14:52:?? Game was released on Aug 3. and had one patch ("Hotfix #1") on Aug 4. I had no other patches... did you?
Is it just me or does this game seem to patch each day?
Don’t Rely On Quick Saves In Baldur’s Gate 3.is a fine example of how terribly stupid today's people have become; for one, quick saves were never intended to be "real" saves AND there is a slider in the options where you can adjust the number of quick saves (also one for auto saves), which tells me that this "journalist" had never even checked the options in the first place... but of course complains, sorry "warns" about it; what an idiot.

Sure, when I get a chance and a link. But honestly it's about whether Tim was telling the truth and it seems honest.
Under no circumstances should brian have said or done it, no exceptions to this rule, afaik.
Now if you have some justification for brain saying and doing, please do tell.
Never shit on your peeps, it's a hard fast rule.

Actually it jumps straight into the worst uncanny valley I have ever experienced. She doesn't blink! The eye twitch is there, but not blinking. Kinda weird too since it clearly supports this. Did the actress have a supreme death-stare ability or what?![]()
