With the imminent release of BG3, we're now opening up a general discussion/impression/news thread (this one) for those that wish to use it.
I know Act 1 has been available in EA for over three years, but the rest of it will be brand new to everyone (and I think I've read that even Act 1 will have meaningful changes to what players have experienced).
So - post your general thoughts or questions. If you're on PC and having technical difficulties - ask here. Maybe you were having them and solved them - post that too. Love your player character and want to share their glory? If there are no spoilers in the image - have at it.
News and updates can also go in this thread.
Have fun nerds!

Hrungr - didn't play enough of the EA to get a feel, but would 'builds' be spoiler territory? Spells and abilities and the like. It's the sort of thing that could be helpful, so it could go here, but not if most people would consider it to be a spoiler.

It's the sort of thing that could be helpful, so it could go here, but not if most people would consider it to be a spoiler. I'm not Hrungr, but I don't see the spoilers in race/classes/subclasses/abilities/spells. There are a few permanent buffs/features/items you can get that some builds might be using that would be considered spoilers (well how to get them anyhow). But bg3.wiki/wiki/Main_Page should eventually have the entries with the info on how to get them so there is no need to explain it in here (it already has all the early access stuff). Talking about how race/classes/origins interact with some NPCs/stories could be spoilers thought, but that's not really about builds even if it might help you out or not depending.

It may take some reminders/post-moving when dealing with stategies/spell & gear loadouts for specific encounters, which should be in the other thread (but I imagine a few will wind up here by mistake).

Would it be this thread or the other for sharing character pics? Strictly speaking; case-by-case. But I'm a compulsive screenshot taker when I have a custom character in cutscene conversations. The improved lighting/camera angles make it too tempting. The issue is with any spoiler content that might appear in the shot and subtitles. So - apply your judgement. If it is just your character, and any subtitles are suitably vague/non-spoilery, then they can absafraginlootly go in here

I played a bit of the EA as a Drow Wizard and stopped both times at a certain point which I will not mention here. Then when I heard that changes have been made to act 1 I never played it again. I've been eagerly anticipating the full release.

I will add a possible little tip, especially for those that played EA. If (like me) you HAD Cloud Saves activated when you first started playing early access, then turned them off, you may have some leftover saves still on the cloud. I had originally tried to remove a bunch of saves (with the cloud on, to remove them from said cloud), and it crashed my game - the one and only time it crashed on me. This was back in 2021, so unsure what happened. When I went to remove saves in-game prior to uninstalling two days ago, I didn't see any of those old saves (and cloud saves have been toggled off since that attempted purge in 2021). However, when I went to the save folders on my computer, those were still filed there. Purged that, and plan to keep Steam Cloud Saves turned off. Just in case. Sheesh. Not sure that made sense in the written form.

Good Bye forums!
I'm kinda joking there, I'm somewhat addicted to this place, but I'm clearly going to spend less time here for a few days and maybe weeks...once I'm done with work in 2 hours.

While I can't play the game, due to me being console-only, I hope you all have as good a time as you can with the game.

Almost finished downloading... slightly disappointed? Took less than 45 minutes on GoG...(checked before starting, over 100GB download, so I got the right one). I haven't had time to do any work yet. Maybe a quick check....

I made my character with some changes from my plans. Tavaxia, a Wood Elf Lady Bard. Still undecide for Lore vs Sword, but that can wait. I've been super lucky with dice rolls so far in the intro. I hope this last. I'll post a pic later, if I think about taking one. I'm not a screenshot person.

Quick - non-spoiler - question...Karmic dice OFF is the suggested setting, yes? Yes, at least until someone does the math to prove enemies don't have it too in combat anymore. Larian changed how it worked for release, but it's not clear how. I always played without it, I don't mind rolling with the dices and I never had problems with failed rolls.
