Yeah I’m really excited for this game but 17,000 different endings just sounds like “yes” and “no” bs
An ending that mentions a yes or no response to 14 things would have 16384 variations. Don’t get too excited by this big number. It could easily be just “one ending” where they mentioned the outcome of 14ish things you did.
I’ve never played any of the Baldurs Gate games, do you guys reckon I will need to have played the originals first? Cos this games sounds great!
From what I’ve read, while there’ll be a few nods and references you might only get if you’ve played the original games; the game can be played with no need to have played the originals.
Also, if you do decide to pick up the original two games, keep in mind they were made back in the THAC0 days.
The first two were amazing but long ago, in sure there will be treats for those of us who remember them but I’m sure they’ll be expecting a mostly fresh audience.
Just know if you hear ‘go for the eyes boo’ it’s referencing a hamster.
They better add a “Kissing a chicken” ending or else I will get really pissed.
I mean, it’s just variations of similar endings… I’d prefer what Nier Automata did with their 26 endings. Getting an ending because I backtracked, or because I fished, or because I exploded at a very inappropriate time and place… Yeah that’s my kind of multiple endings.
I’ve never been made to laugh till I had tears in my eyes by a game before

Not the longest, but hands down the weirdest game I’ve ever played, and well worth the money. Now, where did I leave my bucket?
But ultimately, they are just variations of game over screens or just transitions between acts. Actual endings are like 2 or 3.
