That should have been the villain in Act 3 but not this Robot-Youngster Gortash -- he could not stand a minute besides Ketheric.

I think they could have switched the order of defeating the two bosses and had a greater impact. Imagine making it to the city, already knowing their plot of Ketheric and Gortash playing their roles as the villain and hero, and then defeating Gortash. Only now, you may actually have a BIGGER problem. Because up until now the plan was for Ketheric and his army to merely act as a catalyst for Gortash's power play inside the city. He wasn't supposed to ACTUALLY overrun the city. But now his allies are dead, and you have 2/3 of what he needs to keep control of his army. He's going to come at you with EVERYTHING he has, even if he has to level the city to reach you. Now you are both racing against the clock. The army begins to overrun the city, culminating in a climactic battle between you and Ketheric. You have to fight your way past skirmishes to take the stones down underground to try to shackle the elder brain, only to fail. Now things get REALLY bad. Not only do you still have the remnants of a decapitated army having skirmishes with the city watch in the streets, but people on BOTH sides are turning into mind flayers left and right. Everything is turning to pandemonium as you climb the tower in an attempt to reach the Nether Brain.

What makes Gortash as the more evil villain, narrative-wise, is that he knows that his plans are evil, and he loves it. He is evil for the sake of being evil. Ketheric Thorm understands what his evil is, and regrets is every moment. But he'd do it again so that the people he loves would live.

@What_do_I_Think

5 ай бұрын

@@SirSamson That is right, but narrative wise Kethric is just more tragic, more inspiring and engaging. Gortash simply lacks charisma. He is evil, yes, but also a big-mouth who not even could stand by his own plan, but had to ask Tav to help him against the murder-girl.

What do we say to the God of Death?

Part of me had this quote, "I do like Isobel, but Dame Aylin would see her like...a pet to her." Or "Aylin... your Isobel is little more than a pet to you. Your Selune boon will let you live for thousands of years. Do you understand what this means? Everything you know and love will be gone before you look thirty years old. You do not belong here. Do you really want to watch your world die around you?"

At the end it turns out he isn't powered by a sort of magic artifact, that's just what happen when JK simmons voices a character

one does not simply impale Omni-Man

1:00 Let us not forget that this guy was Omni-Man in another life.

What an epic voice actor... too bad I was the good path, and pretty much have the least dialogue with him. (I did infiltrate his quarters and got some unique dialogues. I did enjoy going toe to toe melee duel with him vs my Dragonslayer (from Gut's Armament Mod). I love the riposte I did. A duel between an apostle and a Blackswordsman filled with rage. 😊

@silentgameplays

@yharnamiyhill787 My druid was neutral good and there were these dialogue lines and some more, the reason for neutral good/not killing tieflings was more content for the playthrough. Since the game favors "good approach" to solving quests and gives you more companions and quests, compared to an evil durge run, where you end up with no companions and most of the tiefling quests will not be there.

Ah, so THIS is what would happen if a Viltrumite came to Earth in medieval times instead.

2:42 Almost makes me sorry for him

jk simmons is always a win.

I love his voice acting its so insanely good

This is brutal… . Omniman can’t be killed… wow… .

Everytime i hear his voice i just think omni man...

damn, went to the tomb first and only seen him during the fight xD

Should have been the last trio boss not first, such a great character

Your character has beautiful hair ❤

wtf is with larion having act 2 be the best in every game? really following that rising-climax- falling log. before you shit on me ive besten the game 3 times i love it. im just saying nothing stands up to this throughout (same as reapers coast in DOS2)

I agree with you, BG 3 Act 2 was the climax of the game as a follow up to Act 1, Act 3 felt railroaded and rushed also Gortash/Orin/Emperor/Big Brain Jelly bad were kind "meh" as villains, with Sarevok sitting in a bunker, who was one of the best villains in Baldurs Gate franchise along with Irenicus. Ketheric Thorm should have been the main villain, but was given very little time. Still this game is milestones better than anything released this year and probably in more years to come and it is nice to see Divinity OS 1 and Divinity OS 2 engine put to good use,although Baldur's Gate 3 felt more like a Divinity OS game with D&D 5e ruleset slapped on than a Baldur's Gate game. If you played all the Divinity Original Sin games you will notice combat similarities like utilising enverironments, terrain, blowing up barrels and there is the inventory from Divinity OS series.

@silentgameplays

9 ай бұрын

@bmbrowns1778 What I like about BG 3 is that it is a great game, especially in 2023,with a proper story and gameplay and a cRPG/TRPG at that. Another great thing about BG 3 is that it is not just a tactical combat sim set in D&D 5e ruleset like Solasta was for example. As for Act 3 yes it could have been better and they should have given Ketheric Thorm (J.K.Simmons) more screen time and make him the main villain. The whole Emperor/Big Jelly Brain Bad story is fun and all, but there are plenty of missed opportunities with main villains an d their story arcs, for example Gortash/Orin were very cliche villains and served no other point than to further the Big Bad Jelly Brain plot arc. Baldur's Gate 3 could have been much darker and deeper, like the previous two entries if they at least kept Ketheric Thorm as main villain, because Orin/Gortash and Big Bad Jelly Brain/Emperor are just silly, compared to Sarevok from BG 1 or Irenicus from BG 2.

@teleman07 Still, Baldur's Gate 3 is a great game for 2023 and the amount of poor releases so far, and I hope it gets GOTY,because it came out polished,as for the Big Bad Jelly Brain plot, maybe it was done on purpose for newcomers to the cRPG. Baldur's Gate 1 and Baldur's Gate 2 as well as other cRPG's of that time and even newer ones like Dragon Age Origins, The Witcher series, Pillars Of Eternity series can be somewhat very dark to lure new gamers into the D&D world. Also compared to Alan Wake's 2 plot, Baldur's Gate 3 Big Bad Jelly Brain is much more grounded.

@What_do_I_Think

@@silentgameplays I agree basically, that from the side of villains and somewhat storywise, the third act did not deliver a new climax like Act 2. The highlights of Act 2 are just so good. You have Ketheric and you have the Nightsong/SH redemption arch. Both are great experiences. Very difficult to top. Would have been better to spare Ketheric for the finale. Particularly Gortash falls short IMHO. But it also would be unfair to say that Act 3 is bad. Act 3 is much better than many complete AAA games, you got recently. I am thinking for example about the great fights there are. The fight in the House of Hope particularly with ingenious musical score. Act 3 might have been rushed, but I don't like when people trash it, since I can compare it with other games, that did not deliver a fraction of what you get from Act 3 alone!

Look I literally know nothing about the character or this game. This guy strikes me as the baddest of them all, somehow.

Ketheric Thorm should have been the main villain, similar to Sarevok and Irenicus in the first two games Baldur's Gate 1 and Baldur's Gate 2. Raphael already rocks in the House Of Hope, but he should have been also a main villain on par with Ketheric Thorm, because both voice actors nailed their roles. When you encounter Ketheric or Raphael then they are next level of bad, manipulative and sinister, similar to Sarevok and Irenicus from the previous games.

Baldur's Gate 3 had proper cinematics, voice acting, story, yes the TRPG part can be a bit boring for most people, even I prefer real time combat to the tactical combat in CRPG's, but Baldur's Gate 3 delivered in all other aspects, including innovation on a remake/reboot/more of the same landscape, so it deserves GOTY, at least in order for other devs to start making more innovative games, not just remake/reboots.
