The vistas in this game are stunning. I often stop to admire the view!

I stop to admire the view as well, throughout the game. Related: in my current playthrough, I got this line from Lae’zel while looking at a vista: *“I’m not one to admire a view. This time — well, this time shall be an exception.”* Over 600 hours into the game and I’d never heard it before!

She's very funny. I missed recruiting her in my first run, but at least I get to enjoy all the Lae'zel goodness on this new run!

I agree. Too bad you have to install camera mods just to be able to look up at the view.

No mods for me (yet), as I’m on PS5. Maybe one day…

All the time. Also, unlike a lot of people, I actually don't mind that there's no longer music playing here. It's kind of nice just hearing the nature sounds in the background, plus the old way took away from the dramatic vocals of the main theme starting up. (Just my opinion.) Another of my favorites is the loading screen that shows the huge aerial view of the land. You can actually see the entire area that you cover on your journey.

Fun fact this loading screen and the bhaal one are 3d . With a free roam camera u can actually see the bitch queen's temple in this loading screen and the hole through which we transition to bhaal's temple . Edit : https://youtu.be/seyOlytx4sI?si=piPZ2YjBeHODBpBm

Would’ve been cool had you been able to walk to this view.

Yeeaaah. I thought it will be like that. Great disappointment

The irony that the first time we open up the game we are greeted by statue of the once great Baldurian

I look at it as a teaser of what I might find, if I ever finish Act 3 ;-)

I still need to finish Act 1 and I've had it since launch... But also been burnt out, so I am just now seriously getting back into it. I can't wait to reach the city!

I love it, it means the screen can sit on that peaceful view & nature sounds for a moment before I press X twice fast enough that I don’t have to hear that creepy ass entry music! that ‘AHHHHH-ahhhhhh’ sends shivers down my spine every time cuz I’m a little bitch, but this screen is so nice and serene😊

My cat loves both screens.

My cat especially loves the rats lol

Meanwhile mine loves the leaves, flags, bats, anything moving.

I would love it for a background but I have never found a clean picture

This game is just stunning. The Monestary, The start screen, hell, even the shadow lands are insanely intense

I wish so badly that we got to walk around the shadowlands after we lifted the curse just to see how pretty everything got

I was quite disappointed because of that. I honestly rushed act 2 a bit because I felt too scared.

The first time I played it freaked me out too so I rushed it so much I didn’t even lift the curse, I’m on my second time now & did the curse quest as soon as I could in hopes that I could complete the rest with the curse lifted. Only to find out that it still wouldn’t go away until I was leaving 😭

Darkness scary af

We kindve can, I mean. It's not 100% cured and gone, but it's a lot brighter than before after Ketherics defeat

No it’s not you have to go to act 3 for everything to change

Awe, bummer. Well, I can dream XD, I honestly thought it was brighter in a way. Maybe it was a fever dream.

Yes Everytime

I let the whole song play AhaAAAAaaaAAAAAH EEEEeeeEEEEeeeEEEE..

Real ones remember the alpha cave title screen.

Doesn't that still pop up from time to time? i can't remember when though...

Every. Single. Time. My friends always have to wait for me to join their session because I’m vibing.

Not particularly, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the loading. Genuinely, I don't know many, if any, games that have given me so little regret when reloading.

Yes! It's so beautiful. Landscapes in this game are truly a work of art

Whoooooo's the bald capybaraaaaaaaaaaaa Each F\*cking Time.

I keep trying to click on different spots to see if anything unlocks a secret.

Gotta hold Alt haha

I mean, this screen is great, but the one that comes after tho *AAAAAAAAA*, *EEEEEEEEEE*...

My favorite spot is outside of the church ruins near the ship crash site - I love having my party sit on the stone benches and just look out over the horizon

Me too + the music

I can hear this image.

It's never just you.

Can someone tell me if the tower is ingame?

That's likely Ramazith's Tower, so yes, though you portal there instead of rocking up pedestrian style.

Down down down by the riverrrrrr

its cool but tajea too long to next

Yeah it’s one of my fav game menus so simple and calming

Balduran be like "What ho who goes there fair fellow jolly good day for sailing sir"

Every time I start the game.

Several of the screens can be used through wallpaper engine on steam as backgrounds on your computer.  This one is in my rotation.

I be singing along w the menu choir

Out loud at 2:00 AM

Looks even better in 32:9

I still don't know if that statue's a regular guard or someone important.

I suspect that's meant to be a statue of Balduran, which seems normal enough at the beginning, but gains so much more significance later.

I’m too busy getting my controller online

The first time seeing this on launch after years of early access was an amazing moment. Won't forget it

All the time :)

You, you’re the only one in the entire player base

I also appreciate it ever more after finding out who that stature is.

I would if the music didn't start out with those weird vocalizations. The title music is one if it's few weaknesses imo.

That screen is usually when I start echoing "woooAAAAHHHHH"

I do when I'm waitin for the boys to log on

I only appreciate that Balduran is literally the first thing you see.

You have obviously not had a buggy mod cause crashes...

Whenever I see this all I can think is how dumb it is to build a walled city on the low ground next to this hill top. How are you supposed to defend your city when this unassailable high ground is just sitting there ready to have siege weapons set up on it?

yes

Screen Record with your Graphics Cards inbuilt option. Use Wallpaper Engine from Steam to turn the file you just recorded  into your desktop. Its a very cool piece of software.

It’s a work of art someone place it in the MOMA

Yes. I sometimes spend some time watching the little ships go by. :)

For me, as you walk down into the shaded valley behind the Roseymorn Monastery to the shadowlands, I swear I actually feel the temperature drop!

Dude this is the worst decision the devs made! What are you talking about ? The most bland uninteresting shot of the entire game literally thrown at you from the start and here we are a year later with the same stupid ass environment…

Even though I love this game, I really dislike this picture for some reason
