I thought I'd create a proper thread for one of the most exciting revivals in recent times.

I have to say this is the most fun I've had with a game in a while and it's still a work in progress. I'm excited for how great this game can be when it's finally a finished product and because I like most of the presets so much, I won't even care if they add sliders or not.
The interactions with the world seem pretty intricate, an entire area of the map design changed from something beautiful to terrifying with just a perception check and the companions responses can differ depending on who you talk to first, or give an extra conversation when you have them learn a particular spell etc.
I've never had a problem with turn based combat but I guess that's a matter of taste, what does annoy me with the fights is the way the enemies constantly go after my squishy characters. They will continuously pound on my wizards warlocks etc. and not pay attention to anyone else, even run clear across the map to get to them. After my softer companions are down, the enemies will then proceed to keep hitting them just to make sure they're completely dead, so I can't help them up. I would be OK if this only happened every once in a while but it's literally been every fight I've had and it gets tedious, my main front line fighters get ignored for weak prey every single time.
I might post some of my own characters later.

The most popular choices resulted in a pretty cute guy! I just completed my first run-through and my character wasn't all that special, just a female human warlock. Usually when I create characters I'll admit I go for what I think is the best looking possible, male or female. Creating elves is probably the most adventurous I get, so now I'm running a male Drow.
lol I can understand why they would've wanted to see more varied results though, it is a lovely CC..... Even though I hope they still put in some sliders later on, I'll just keep my fingers crossed.

I've been trying to play it, but around the time you meet Astarion, my computer keeps crashing. I've even had to do hard reboots a couple of times.

That sucks, I was going through a lot of crashes too but it wasn't consistent and so I was still able to get through it. After the first two hotfixes I didn't have as many crashes and I also think there is another update today, hopefully it fixes things for you.

Well that's odd. I got home and checked Steam and found BG3 wasn't installed.
Did the update do that?

Rerolled from a halfling fighter to a half (high elf) warlock of the Great Old Ones. Having a sucky charisma was getting to me.
Do we know what they "who do you dream of?" option is in the cc? You get to create at least the appearance of another character, though no class or stats.

IakusAbout the new update - I believe it was rolled back because they want to figure out a way it doesn't mess with people's saves. I don't know if it uninstalled your game but it could have, It messed up my game so it wouldn't start and I had to reinstall. Doesn't matter, I missed playing a Warlock and I don't like playing a Wizard, I'm probably going to re-roll something else. As for the second character you create, if you use the tadpole's powers too much and then go rest at camp it's supposed to seduce you with power in your dreams. I've heard about it from other people and seen some video clips but haven't played through the scenes myself. I only used the tadpole powers about 3 times, so either that wasn't enough or it just didn't trigger in my game.
