Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 6 Am I a beta player?

? ? !

"This is too exaggerated! World map! Write your own life experience! Even if you are running a group, you can't be so exaggerated! Wait, let me take a closer look."

"The place of birth can only be near the Sword Coast. Let me just say, it scared me to death. I thought I could actually build the whole world, but even so, it is very powerful. To be able to do this, It can already be called the greatest running game in history!”

Liu Angsheng suddenly became excited!
  Baldur's Gate is a typical RPG, that is, a role-playing group game. Every character created has the player's own efforts and expectations invested in it. When a game character becomes perfect in the eyes of the player, he will be invested in it. Enter the infinite adventure of the world of Toril.

The player himself will take on this role to experience the joy and sorrow, and experience the gorgeous epic and magnificent adventure. This is the essence of role-playing games.

However, due to the limitations of the game text, even if the performance of the game itself is close to perfect, online games are after all online games. It is impossible to write your own background story and freely choose your adventure like offline running groups.

But now this so-called game expansion pack has achieved this leap forward! Although the creation of characters has become a bit cumbersome now, this feeling of slowly improving step by step makes the game characters become flesh and blood. This wonderful feeling is unparalleled!

"Thank you, game expansion pack, you saved my boring life!"

Liu Angsheng clasped his hands and thanked him sincerely, then immediately looked at the map carefully, and some wonderful ideas began to burst out in his mind.

"Can I add some additional experience to the character, just like offline running groups, so that it can add skills other than profession? It should be possible, as long as it is not too outrageous and logical. After all, previous games have Prompt."

"Don't think so much, let's give it a try!"

"The place of birth must be Baldur's Gate! I'm so familiar with this ghost place! After playing it for five and a half weeks, I can be considered an out-and-out old Baldur!"

As he spoke, he immediately clicked on Baldur's Gate as the spawn point.

Ding, you cannot choose a city as the birth point for the alien branch background, please choose again.

"Ah, is this the racial penalty for choosing a higher and more powerful race? Not being able to start in the city? It's inexplicably reasonable."

"If that's the case, forget it. I'll just be born in the wilderness next to Baldur's Gate and have a deserted wilderness survival."

"Wait a minute, the map shows that there seem to be two large forests near Baldur's Gate. There won't be a Druid camp in the beginning of the game in one of the forests, right?"

"The possibility is very high. After all, the story takes place near Baldur's Gate. The possibility of the two forests next to it is very high. Then can I use the background to use the development of the Druid Order to make it better? Get yourself some extra skills or even expertise!”

"Or you can use settings to get equipment in the game in advance. Green equipment at the beginning is not a dream!"

"I even set up my character experience so that the characters in the background will go directly to Baldur's Gate when they have the ability to travel far later, so that I will be directly at Baldur's Gate at the beginning of the game!"

"It's so exciting! It's so exciting!"

"And it seems that I can also choose the time. Can I be born in advance before the plot of the game happens? No, including the growth time, I must be born before the plot of the game and successfully become a professional!"

"But what year in the Vale Calendar does the main plot take place?" Liu Angsheng immediately checked online. Based on the information on the Internet, he inferred that the Baldur's Gate event and the birth of the Supreme God should take place in the game in 1496 in the Vale Calendar.

"Then I chose to be born two years early. No, I should have been born 16 years early, that is, in 1480. I was abandoned in a forest not far from Baldur's Gate when I was three years old. I should have had certain skills at that time. Motivation can support oneself and not starve to death, but it is still a bit precarious.”

"...Then the setting is that when I was young, I was discovered by the druids living in it. They are kind-hearted and have been helping and guiding me in order to prevent me from being led astray by the blood of the devil."

"And because of various coincidences, they taught me some unique skills that only druids can have. At the same time, because these druids believe in the wild growth of all things in nature, they did not disturb me too much, but allowed me to roam freely in the wilderness. Growing up, this allowed me to accumulate all the prerequisite occupations of the abandoned before the age of 14, and obtain level 2 detection and survival skills. Coupled with the natural high perception attribute, that is level 5 detection and survival. .”

"Well, what else is there? By the way, because the profession is barbarian, it is impossible for me to take the Druid profession, so let's continue writing."

"Nohir was very grateful for the help of the druids, but he himself was not suitable for the druid profession, so in the end he took the barbarian career path."

"It's reasonable, so reasonable. Now I just need to polish some details, and a perfect character card is born!"

Liu Angsheng began to think deeply about how to make this character's life experience more real and perfect. For this reason, he postponed the creation of the game background and first went online to check the official historical stories of Baldur's Gate.

However, the background of the story on the Internet was very loose and incomplete. He spent four or five hours researching it, and combined with the map in the game, he finally got a rough idea of ​​the humanities nearby, and unexpectedly discovered that Baldur's Gate is Not far away, there was actually a city that also had big events.

Eltoril, known as the Holy City, the City of Civilization, and the City of Progress, had a major event during this period. It can be said that this major event was the prequel to Baldur's Gate 3.

And the Baldur's Gate he was familiar with seemed to have some connection with this big event.

But what surprised Liu Angsheng the most was the evaluation of Baldur's Gate on the game's official website. Baldur's Gate officially set the city as a paradise for thieves, liars, gamblers and robbers, and a paradise for murderers and cultists.

"Although there were indeed many dangers in the city when I was playing, with various cultists and murderers running rampant. The guardian I created was a perverted illithid disguised as a woman, and the true identity of this illithid is actually the person who established Baldur. Bodean, who was a member of the family, was carelessly stunned by the illithid colony in the Tower of Moonrise and played a perverted game of Where Are the Bugs? In the end, he himself became an illithid, and even killed his good friend to save his life afterwards. , Ansu, the ancient bronze dragon."

"...Okay, after thinking about it, I suddenly understood. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. It is best not to go to Baldur's Gate in the early stage. Instead, go to Eltoril. My race is Tiv. Lin, and Eltoril seems to have quite a few tieflings.”

“And the city in the background seems to have been dragged into hell for some reason, the so-called big event [Falling into Avernus].

It is precisely because of the fall of this city that so many tiefling refugees took refuge in Baldur's Gate. Is this a new plot added in this game update, and players have to prevent this from happening? "

"But if I really prevent this from happening, will the plot of Baldur's Gate still happen? Or will it be calculated in real time?"

It's unlikely. If the amount of updates is so huge, wouldn't it be equivalent to a brand new game? And it's definitely not inferior to Baldur's Gate. There's no need to call it an expansion pack.

"Wait a minute, if that's the case, then this expansion pack is probably a prequel or sequel to Baldur's Gate! Could it be that the prize I won is actually a closed beta activation code!"

"Am I a beta player?!"
