What are you playing?

>Tl;dr : we decided to make every single race and character as fuck-ugly as we can, on purpose

They're certainly doing a good job at that, it seems

Real talk: Does anyone really care how his player character's face looks? If the game is isometric, you never really get a good look at it. If it's a third-person title, you spend most of the playtime staring at his or her ass instead.
Not to mention that there's always a very good chance that most if not all of the face is covered up by the headgear.

Simple. It's because :

1.)It's not isometric because it has camera options to prevent that kind of thing

2.)The camera zooms in uncomfortably much during (always) voiced dialogue scenes as if it is a BioWare game and we're playing "shot-reverse shot" until we can make out the individual pimples, dammit

3.)Combat is turn based and often times zoomed in enough to see your characters faces

4.)At best, the helms look like those from Dragon Quest, made so that they never obscure the face because why WOULD you want to not look at your beautiful nubian, dragon tamer princess OC in a DnD setting?

So a recipe for disaster, if people didn't already love the reddit-tier humour the game has.

Also : it's a 60 bucks Alpha / Early Access title with only 1 chapter finished and only allows you to get to level 12. BRAVO!

Whelp, back to Temple of Elemental Evil or Knights of the Chalice then.

Oh great, that shitty dialogue style that Bioware never managed to not make look awkward af. I'm psyched!

I saw that shit on freegogpcgames, and it occupies 66 GB of space.
How many hard disks will the finished turd require?

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

But it's all worth it for having the Kobolds use a photo-realistic face of Orange Man.

Seems like BG3 is going to be a big hit.
I remember the very first Divinity which was so bizarre that I don't get why anyone ever wanted more of that. A bit hazy on the details but one "great" recurring "joke" was a man that resembled a giant shrimp.
That is funny. Isn't it? So random.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

I don't think anyone remembers the Divinity franchise from before the one where you play a dragonkin.

And of course this will be a big hit. Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 have always been hyped as the greatest PC RPGs evar, potentially only beaten by Planescape: Torment.

Torrent took 2 days but it's finally done, I will see how good this is.

I dunno. hopefully Beamdog and their tranny Oc donut steels broke the spell on Butter's Gate love.
Planescape isnt a RPG its a VN.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker now have turn-based mode, which you can switch on/off ln the fly, and it works great. Kingmaker is long game though.
