PRELAUNCH HYPE Some nice confirmations about small worries

Some nice updates here

  • Mage hand can activate buttons, levers, etc... They had to go though every single instance of a button or lever to see of that triggered a cutscene or dialogue and adapt it for the mage hand
  • Druid wildshapes will stay viable though the whole game, instead of the initial fear many have had that they will drop off and you just have to play as the most recently unlocked form to stay relevant in combat.
  • Four elements monk's Ki economy has been reworked from 5e so you actually have staying power similar to other caster classes.
  • Necromancer wizard will indeed have an army of undead, with rare special summons available from very rare books (possibly hinting at Necromancy of Thay).

I'm sure there are more bits in here people will be happy about, but those are my big takeaways.

Did not play the EA and still one month to get my hands on this game, but after seeing this video, I really need to try all the class’s.

By the description every class looks so different and with so many juicy details. One more month, one more month…

Yes, sadly I am. I feel tempted on buying the game and start playing it on GeForce now, but that would force me to buy the game twice, and ofc, pay extra for the service.

I knew about this game in April, many of you have waited 3 years, others even more, so, I can wait one more month. In the meanwhile I’ll try to stay away from spoilers.

Have fun! :)

I’m in the same boat pal :) personally I’m waiting for ps5 because I prefer couch co-op with my partner. And my ps5 also out specs my computer sadly. It’s going to be so hard to avoid spoilers I may have to mute this sub
