Some early lower priority camp scenes can also be missed if higher priority ones are queued. To advance companion quests or romances, make sure to long rest often.>Q: Can I recruit Minthara without going down the evil path?>A: If you knock her out in Act 1, yes. You do miss out on the sex scene, but otherwise the romance remains the same.>Q: Underdark or Mountain Pass?>A: Either, or both. It's recommended to clear both on higher difficulties for the experience and loot. Both connect to the same Act 2 map.>Q: Is The Dark Urge essentially "Tav+"?>A: Yes. You get additional content, BUT there are points where, if you've chosen to resist the Urge and/or don't complete quests the "right" way, you'll have to pass additional checks to avoid losing companions.>Q: Are there any consequences to consuming tadpoles?>A: No, for the most part. However if you've consumed any tadpoles, there will later be a DC 21 Wisdom check to reject the Astral-Touched Tadpole, which affects your appearance if consumed.>Q: Should I enable Karmic Dice?>A: Karmic Dice will avoid streaks of low rolls, both for you and the enemy. It is recommended to disable it if you're specializing.>Polls:>Romance: https://strawpoll.com/NMnQ5kJXYn6>Race: https://strawpoll.com/kjn18WPzeyQ>Class: https://strawpoll.com/eNg69DKKjnA>Companions: https://strawpoll.com/bVg8o8l3VnYOP pasta: https://rentry.org/bggpastaPrevious thread: >>545906149

>>546299216>Only good harper>mfwI wonder how many people actually talked to random Harpers. I had multiple ones that I liked. Too bad the last time I saw most of them was when I looted their corpses after the Assault.>>546298048The lighting is fantastic during that scene. It really captures the vibe and ties all the well-made details (models, animation, textures) together. Not one Harper looks as great as they did during that scene again.

>Jaheira as an Oath of the Ancients PaladinI honestly can't decide if this is retarded or fitting.
>>546337560It's basically as close as you can get to fighter/druid without fucking yourself over
Okay hold on what the fuckI'm not done with the game yet. In Act 3. Havent dealt with Gortash or Orin. I got curious at a recommended video called "What happens if you kill Orin the first time you see her" so I hover over it and it did the soundless preview thing and The first time you see Orin is that dying gang member dude before you run into the scuffle between the guild and followers of stone lord? What? What's the significance of her being this random dude? Was there any hint??
>>546339135When Orin taunts you those two times there's a list of characters she can appear as. The dying gang member is one of them
>>546333242the cutest!
>>546339326OOOH okay I got the smith in the first town and the druid lady in the circusNow I kind wish I didnt knew it was random.....could have made my 2nd play through, if I do it, more fun
>>546339552It's not random, just the first two you talk with.
>>546319814Oh, nothing so distasteful. Every race is equal, after all. I just find it interesting that your character concept is a "zug zug half-orc" that would exist to "smash humies" - an apparent contradiction to the aforementioned race equality. I would, however, loathe to turn that one exception into a generalization. I just think it's interesting that the majority of half-orcs living in Baldur's Gate seem relegated to being bodyguards, mercenaries, enforcers - positions where brawn matters more than brain. But that alone shouldn't lead to painting a race in broad strokes. So you see, it's not that I'm racist. I just don't like your brutish, anti-civilizational, racist kind. Do you understand?
>>546338391My thoughts exactly but then it occurs to me that we're talking about a Paladin after all and it just feels wrong. Maybe it's a labeling thing or the fact that Jaheira is a good 120 years older than we last met her. Lore-wise her Fighter side comes from participating in Harper business with Khalid I guess. I don't think it's too far-fetched to think she'd rely more on her Druid (caster) side with age, especially as the head of an organization that mostly consists of fighters and rangers. I feel Land druid is actually a good default option for her but surely not the closest to her original Fighter/Druid class.
>>546340998>I don't think it's too far-fetched to think she'd rely more on her Druid (caster) side with ageThe Nightsong cutscene has her figuratively and literally taking up arms again. I think she's very much still a Fighter at heart. And also a Druid. You can find Belm in her home - that's not a weapon a tree-hugger would keep.
>>546342372They just had her keep belm because it's slightly more memorable than most of the weapons. Same with the staff of ram showing up, even if it isn't even remotely as fun as it was in BG2
>>546296795Bullshit.
>>546342372I agree with the premise but I'm not sure if the emphasis is still the same. Do you still see her tanking in the front line while being surrounded by young ones who just beat Ketheric? What I found interesting is how her go-to fighting method (Ice Storm then Wild Shape into Panther) didn't include any melee in human form. I only saw her using her Scimitars as an NPC during Opportunity Attacks. This makes sense from a practical POV (she gets a separate HP bar as a Panther) but I feel leadership plays a more pivotal part here. She's a living legend who still wants to lead by example, plus she probably knows her troops are mediocre fighters with even worse survival chances. This is absolutely not the case with your party. Her willingness to take a backseat to you also shows lack of ego and adaptability.>>546342681I'm a sucker for this kind of things but yeah, most of the time it's nothing but fan service and a cheap trick to build some kind of continuity. Does their appearance still matter? Of course, but I wouldn't read too much into it in terms of lore and whatnot.
>>546319715they were teasing a Cyric DLC but scrapped it to make a space rpg instead

Based Minsc threw a Spectator at us.
>>546374261fully intended to recruit minsc this time, but that stupid OLD CUNT jaheira got herself killed in moonrise
20 in every stat is a lot less broken than it actually sounds.
>>546380349Obviously specializing is better, that's why Elminster has 13 str and 27 int instead of 20 in both.
Obviously cheating and having 30+ in every stat is better
>>546371389That's an old post, from before they even split out English reviews. It's close to 800K now.
>>546380349What is it about roleplaying that scares you so much?
>>546382551I've put in enough hours to warrant doing OP mod runs.
Do people roleplay instinctually because most of them do not pick the mechanically strong races like halflings and duergar?
>>546371389how much did bg3 sell anyway?gotta be 10+ mil
>>546363217another cute frog!
>>546383840Was estimated at ~15mil in late 2024.
>>546383652Wizards/Larian decide to make the most broken races also the ugliest, which leaves normies to just roleplay their half-elf/human/tiefling as someone special.
>>546371389Papa swen is fucking loaded
>>546385463Deserved.
I roleplay as an amnesiac god.
Adventuring in the Realms also means you gotta watch out for evil midges and their OP racials.

Traders outside of the Lower City are just not worth to invest into, right? I'm operating under the assumption that once you've done everything in the outskirts you're not expected to come back at all.I still have Jaheira on her post-recruitment level 1, so all it'd take is 400G per trader to max their Attitude out. I'm okay doing this with one or at max two, but all of them feels cheap and over the top.
>>546395563>Invest in traderswut
>>546392812buy an ad, eslfag
>>546395563most enemies in act 3 drop regular weapons and armors, just loot every bad guy you kill and you'll never have money issues
>>546395987you can gift them gold to max their attitude and get a discount
>>546396493oooh oki've never bothered with that
>>546395563Depends, some of them sell expensive shit (gauntlets of the warmaster, bonespike garb) and if you're stacking smokepowder arrows or something on top it might pay off to invest 400 gold
>>546383861she is incredible
Limeleech chads roll call: Present!
latest shadowbaby just dropped
>>546397874zamn
:D
>>546392082she is...the frog knight
>>546395987>>546396629You should. IIRC maxed out Attitude means 50% lower selling and 50% higher buying prices. The trick is that it gets more expensive with each level up. Investing into Act 1 traders who's returning later is well worth on the long run. Dammon is the pinnacle of this as he sells items you probably want anyways in each Act. Mattis, Derryth and Blurg can also be candidates. Or basically any traders where you'd spend big money, though to maximize the ROI you should return to them on the regular to get your money back by selling them stuff. Remember, they'll offer the best prices anyways.>>546396363I don't have money issues (I went to Act 3 with over 18k on me) just a one-time opportunity with Level 1 Jaheira to make investments in a non-cheesy way. It's more about making the most out of this and thus ensuring my money will last.>>546396863Thanks, this is what I'm going to do! I only visited Ferg so far but looked up the base prices of the items you mentioned, and everything I bought from the guy costs as much as the garb or the gauntlet alone. I also don't plan to use Jaheira until Wyrm's Crossing so doing the math with this merchants aligns with my plan.
It isn't a surprise Lae'zel chose to listen to Voss in the end.
>>546400745S-she's big.

3rd act need more +3 items. Larian must make short item update to enrich 3rd act with cool new powerful gear party would want to get. reaching 12lvl in the beginning of 3rd act is painful but if we could get even more cool +3 items we would forgive larian
>>546404226Obsessed.
By Mystra's delicate tiny feet!
>>546406371you just know baudelaire wrote this corny line
both swen and john think that sex scenes brought a lot to bg3
I always keep forgetting how busted Eldritch Knight is ever since booming blade was added
>>546397874where is the bear paw tattoo?
Why are elves so useless?Most pathetic race by far.
>>546407391Mizora's VA wanted a longer sex scene but swen said no.
>>546408356too much moneyVAs be expensive as fuck yoimagine if Larian had a bigger budget for sex scenes
>>546408594I don't think that's the reason, given that almost every interaction in the game is voiced and mocapped.
>>546408734they didnt mocap a scene with tav anally rimming astarionso apparently the budget wasnt there
>>546408356they were rushing the release and couldn't afford to mocap and animate an extra scene, I don't really want to know what they would have done with emperor's sex scene if they had more time
>>546407391I lowkey think that Shadowheart's bg3 writer is in charge of writing the romances of one of the two games larian is working on after bg3, that or he's really proud of shadowheart's fade to black in act 3 and halsin's sex scene idk if it's a fade to black too if he's not in bear form
>>546409876what does a bear penis look like?would it really bring more pleasure to Shadowheart that what i couldWHY DOES SHE PREFER HIM THAN ME
>>546410015>still making bear jokes in 2025
>>546410116Wyll has no right to police cringe
>>546408734mocapping & animating NPCs is way easier than sex scenes with a character that could be a male half orc or a female gnome
>>546410295genderfluid sex is difficult to accommodate
>>546409876He's lead writer now, Shadowchuds and namecel are not going to be happy
>>546410619shart & halsin have very cinematic quests I'd be fine with him leading the main story, the farther he is from writing dialogues the better
I have an Uzi 9mm and will shortly be dumping an entire mag into Shadowheart’s face

Completely organic discussion about writers and what they recently tweeted, by the way.
>>546410995John is their boogeyman
>>546410619We have a hero for that.The author of Really ShadowheartBecause he's the writer Shadowheart deserves, but not the one it she has right now. So we'll download mods from him. Because he can correct it. Because he's not Larian's writer.
So this Mirror perfectly removes memories and can replace them with new ones, correct?>YesAnd the new memory slots into the old memory slot, thus making the person think that memory happened to them?>That’s correct.And this has worked unerringly on tens of thousands of people before, turning them into willing servants of the Dark Lady?>Absolutely!And people are a collection of their memories and actions based off those memories, which is why The Dark Urge can become a better person when he loses all his memories?>That is the theme, yes.So why doesn’t it work on Shadowheart at all, to the point where she’s resisted it multiple times and constantly has her own memories come back and will spare her mortal foe based off a vague hint that she knows something?>Ummm ummm…>Look, ShadowCUTE!
>>546411156Hello Iamyourdad. Just like the nametranny you should avoid the space game.
>>546411156Isn't he also obsessed with Halsin and put in some dialogue where you seethe about him and want to punch him?
space poly romances with space cuties in bg3's sequel
>>546411587>space cutiesHere's hoping
>>546411587i hope i can get cucked by a space bear hippie muscle man in that game

Gayle is the real sex pest
>>546411274Unironically, it’s the tranny’s faultNocturne’s journal details how every time Shadowheart got wiped, Nocturne would “take her to their secret alcove” and remind her who she wasShadowfags will ignore the implications of this, ofc
we need more body types, bg3 only has lean dudes and jacked guys, all the males romances suck because they're all dudebros or dorks, I hope that bg3's sequel will let me romance a QT femboy bard
>>546411830That's a given.He's a wizard.A very egotistical one.
this femboy should also have a small dick wide hips, plump ass and moderate sized titties and wear girls clothes
>>546411931Faggot just get mods
>>546412148kino
Man the dark urge origin is great, the slayer form is kinda shitty but you can cast a good concentration spell before turning into it so it's not that bad.Killing Minsc and Jaheira was a bit sad albeit.
>>546412320>slayer form is kinda shittyYeah but it looks cool so it's cool
>>546412169
>>546412434Yeah i agree.
>>546412573Also I played durge as a sorcerer, so having the option to just rip and tear was nice
mmmmmthinking of cute femboy butt this is really unprecedented territory for rpgsLarian needs this in their next game
>>546412810Merely including "Larian" or "BG3" in your low-quality shitpost does not make it on-topic. Fuck off.
>>546411931You just need a fat Gale in your life.
>>546413247
>>546413102why are you so angry?
>>546412810>this is really unprecedented territory for rpgs>Larian needs this in their next gamethis but unironically soft boys are popular on tiktok he'd be the next astarion from bg3
>>546413335what about a femboy Gale?
>I'm going to pretend shart lusting after halsin is a good thing just to spite the namefag>no im not obsessed no i dont have derangement syndrome I really think my romance disapproving of not having sex with halsin is good. i like it even>i hope the next game has even more
>>546413528>what about [literally any version of gale]
>>546413697ok what about fat Wyll
>>546413696take your meds, schizo
>>546413696Yeah I hope both of you get cucked again
>>546413832only if he sounds like big smoke
So the space game needs a femboy and fat companion?
>>546414240a fat black companion who sounds like big smokethe femboy should be asian or white lookingalso throw in a spicy latina tomboy
>>546413696all the namefag did was discover it and make it known it exists. cuckolds attacking the namefag just for making it known will never not be funny
>>546414240unironically yes crpg parties should be as diverse as possible I have a lot of issues with bg3's party because not only is 80% of the party elves & humans they are all either lean or jacked it's boring
>>546414554name back on
>>546414554literally nobody brought him up why are you obsessed with shadowheart & halsin?
>>546414554correct. and the funniest part?>no shart doesn't cuck you in game>but please install this mod so that shart doesn't cuck you
>>546414554two of them just responded to you right on cue
>>546399618This is interesting. My Wyll has +8 Persuasion (18 CHA) which grants him a 47% discount at a trader with 0 Attitude. Jaheira (I'm stuck with her since Attitude is tied to character and she's the only one at Level 1) starts at +1 Per (12 CHA) and only reaches the same discount with 100% Attitude plus that Sovereign amulet (+2 to Persuasion for 10 Turns). And all this costs me 400G. Maxing out the Attitude "only" grants 32%. Just for the sake of comparison: Wyll gets 108% off under the same conditions. Not exactly what I expected.
>>546414849shadowheart does cuck youand i do install mods so that she doesnt
plenty of diversity in bg3 tho>gale: human male>ass: elf male>lae'zel: cute female frog>shart: mutt female Helf>karlach: tiefling female retard>minthara: female drow queen>jaheira female gilf elf>minsc human bald male
>>546415212Toadcels are pathetic
>>546415212@grok how many bg3 companions have elf or human blood and would you consider it diverse compared to the average dnd party
>>546415212but they all kind have the same shtick of woe is me i have some secret or thing controlling me
to the guys complaining about companions just make your own already. There's tons of mods.

>>546416372Not even hirelings, you can get custom companion mods.
>>546416612The average DnD party consists of humans and elves. Le drunk reddit dwarf is sometimes included as a joke but normal people avoid ugly and manlet races.

Talking to my friend about games, we're both boomers. I tried to explain BG3 a little but went with the historical context, and I think it fell flat.Anyone suggest a single digestible youtube that really gives the whole feeling/explanation of the game? And isn't like 15min long, because she ain't gonna watch some nerd go on that long.
>>546418916you really don't need to play 1/2 to play 3. its a self contained story with some references to the past games/characters but it stands alone
>>546418916d&d but videogame
>>546419367I understand that, played all of them, 1&2 many times. But that doesn't tell what it is for a boomer-lady who doesn't really play games, but I know she'd like it.'614An attempt was made
>>546418916Just tell her its an emo vampire dating sim.
>>546420286do githyanki have to keep their skin moist?they look like they would have dry skin issues
>>546420516her skin does appear shinier/more moisturized than some of the other characters but i don't know if its just something to do with the lighting in game
>>546417423Yes, that’s why I separated it between average dnd party and average 5e partyThe average 5e party is full of Tieflings, drow, dhampir, and other races that used to be “le special snowflake” races
>>546421227To be honest those aren't ugly or manlet races either. The parties you don't see are the goblins, derros, gnomes...even dragonborn is more popular despite shit racials.
>Elves are short and slim, standing about 4- 1/2 to 5-1/2 feet tall and typically weighing 95 to 135 pounds>Dwarves stand only 4 to 4-1/2 feet tall, but they are so broad and compact that they are, on average, almost as heavy as humanslmao the pointy ears manlets are barely taller than dwarves
>>546420516i would moisturize my frogwifes face every night
>>546422261very based and skincarepilled
>>546421664So many important DnD elves in lore are 6'+ tall "exceptions" that BG3 just made them as tall as humans. Maybe Greenwood and Salvatore don't like manlets that much either.
>>546418916For normalfags sandbox video games are theme parks. Try to use this angle to sell her the idea! Highlight the interactivity and reactivity of the game. it'd probably be the most effective if you could showcase BG3 yourself but I understand that's easier to be said than done.>>546416742People who's obsessed with this shit would look at a group of Indians who were born and raised at each other's neighbors and praise how diverse it is just because they belong to a minority. So don't even bother. The issue with BG3's roster is the Non-Origin Companions.>High Elf / Rogue>Human / Wizard>Tiefling / Barbarian>Githyanki / Fighter>Half-Elf / Cleric>Human / WarlockIt's not the optimal 6 races for 6 comps line-up but otherwise solid. It's a little too heavy on Humans (let's count mixed races as half point in each, so 2.5/6) but Wyll being black makes it more distinct. The big picture gets worse if you include the additional followers.>Lolth-Sworn Drow / Paladin>Wood Elf / Druid>High Half-Elf / Druid>Human / RangerAnother two Elves (1.5/6 to 3/10) and a Human (2.5/6 to 4/10) deliver a decisive blow (4/6 to 7/10 in total). Meanwhile we have 5 races missing and aside from Half-Orcs they're not adjacent to Humans or Elves. The ultimate question is if legacy comps were planned from the start.
Larian is just elfpilled (aka based)
>>546423625literally looking for a youtubeI thought you zoomers were good at that come onShe sucks my dick sometimes, I want her to play BG3 because I know she'll like it but saying nerd shit isn't going to sell her on it
oops
>>546411274Shadowheart did forget who her parents were and that she's not really an orphan. She did forget her own name. The mirror did work - for almost 40 years - so claiming it had no effect at all on her is blatantly incorrect. While it is true that people are largely shaped by their memories, personality traits and a sense of right and wrong can survive even targeted memory loss or amnesia, as is the case with the Dark Urge. This "Urge" only exists in contrast to a moral framework - without one, there'd be no tension or internal conflict. Tav is the blank slate, not the Dark Urge.Sentient beings are not software - they don't reset to factory settings after being hit on the head hard enough. The shy little kid who likes flowers and cute little pets could have plausibly survived repeated mind wipes. Shadowheart doesn't even need to be special for this to be true. You're free to roll your eyes at how the Nightsong scene plays out, but ultimately, how Shadowheart is convinced in the moment is a narrative choice, not a logical oversight. This is like the Frodo meme where you ask why the giant eagles didn't fly the Ring to Mordor. Because we would have no story arc had that been the case.

Does anyone have a first-hand experience with this weapon? Based on the description this weapon only applies Necrotic damage to those who are behind your character in the Initiate order in the first turn and that's it. Do I interpret it correctly?

Tip for anyone trying WotR: Start on Normal, you can change difficulty at any time even mid-combat. There's also a page of custom settings for you to play in a way that is fun for you."Core" I would say is a bit more difficult than BG3 "Tactician". You see, most games give gaymers some ass-pats in their naming of difficulty settings. "Fucking Not For Babies" mode where it should be "Anyone with a minimally working brain" etc. All that to say, if you're interested in WotR, start on Normal, even if you *wow* beat BG3 on """Tactician""".
>>546447170I also love my frog wife!
>>546453487is that another new hairstyle
>>546450125If you're familiar enough with 3.5 or PF I'd recommend just playing core and maybe tweaking some of the more nonsensical settings like the weather mechanics down.The only reason to spend any time on that game in my opinion is if you really want a DnD simulator to kill time with, so there's really no sense in playing higher difficulties, whether you can handle them or not.
>>546450125I'd say if you've played kingmaker or really any of the older D&D crpg's start on core but reduce enemy numbers to standard and turn respec on. Most of the challenge on core comes from the buffed enemies that enhanced numbers adds.
Did any straight non-queer guys actually enjoy romancing Karlach?
>>546469925I tried to once, but didn't make it past act one because a woman acting like a drinking buddy has negative sex appeal to me, so I went with Shart again instead
I like karlach because she's nice to me
Now that we're 2 years after bg3's release, was this a good play?
>>546471109Fiscally, probably not. I do have a higher opinion of them for it, even if my lizard brain just wants more.

According to WotC, Lorroakan survives the events of the game but was humbled by a failure related to the Nightsong.The big question is whether he's also a paraplegic, there are spells to cure that.

>>546490689What does it have to do with wotc. Are you saying wotc inserted all the tranny and progressive shit into act 3?
>>546492490I don't know if any real specifics about their problems with WotC have been said. I suspect it has more to do with them just not liking having something hanging over their head that can tell them they can't do something, and the fact they seemed to have pushed themselves a lot in the making of BG3, but I also haven't looked through every interview or whatever
why couldn't you just be satisfied with mewhat could I have done differentlyShaddy...

The gentleman on the right is deeply hurt that he only got a wooden tankard from the pretty young thing while The Pale Elf™ obviously has a metal one. Has time been so cruel to him? The servant girl can't help but wonder if she really saw tears in the eyes of the hardened adventurer who looks so alike to her dad. So much that she served the beer in a wooden tankard just as he preferred.

So I made a custom Alfira companion as a Durge to try and deal with her being uncrecruitable, but now the actual Alfira has shown up and is asking to join my party. It feels like like I'm about to put down a dog and it's awful.
>>546539779The alternative is to reload a save before the Long Rest and knock her unconscious with a Non-Lethal attack somewhere. That way her replacement character will show up in the camp and Alfira gets to live.

>>546540575Well it's already a bit too late, so she's already gone. I finally managed to get her hair highlight right, but at what cost? Now it feels like my Durge was desperately trying to create a homunculus or clone of Alfira to make up for killing her, but is ultimately hollow. Now the blood will never wash away.

>>546559456You don't. Fighting the system is futile. Certain facial hair looks good and worth using but others are revolting. This is especially true to full beards: some of them are built and rendered like grass in random 20 years old games. Even Gale's beard can look questionable under certain lightning conditions and that's obviously hand-crafted.>>546564746On top of what has been said Halsin is also out of the picture which means the Shadow Curse can't be lifted in next act. You can also kiss goodbye to the Tieflings and everything they have to offer. Side quests with their XP and material rewards, two merchants (one has several uniques in each act), plenty of personal interactions. Raiding the Grove goes a long way.
>>546574728The tieflings die if you don't lift the shadow curse? I don't see why they can't just leave as long as they're alive

>>546576826*up, was
>>546577219
>>546575149Why do the Tieflings can't leave the Grove? Because the Goblins and their Absolute buddies swarmed the Risen Road. Without you getting rid of them (and/or allowing the Druids to seal the Grove) they're fucked. If you're more interested about the technicalities the Tieflings turn enemies during the Grove raid as soon as you open the gate for Minthara and your new allies. In other words they never reach the Shadow-Cursed Lands without you saving the Grove first.

>>546578965Fighter is surprisingly versatile and powerful class in this game. Champion is the weakest subclass by far, so pick literally anything else when you get there at level 3. Barbarian is also good but nothing spectacular. I feel it's biggest addition to the game is funny dialogue options and being the top pick for throwing builds.
>>546578965fightereldritch knightgreat weapon master
>>546578237Lifting the Shadow Curse is purely just the Halsin quest though. If you save them at the grove, free the ones from moonrise, and don't destroy last light I wouldn't expect them to still die.

>The downside to this arrangement is the true nature of Mephistopheles, which is apparent only after a new contract is signed. He can be charming when he recruits a soul directly, and his agents are careful to avoid making any promises about his actions or attitudes. But once a soul arrives in the Nine Hells to serve him, it invariably faces decades of routine work or tedious study.>Thus, few who join his stable of arcanists remain happy with their decision, but they would be well advised not to show any discontent. Mephistopheles fills his contracts with cleverly worded clauses that allow him to annihilate any of his servants with a word. As further protection against dissent, he isolates his minions, allowing them to gather in small groups only when needed to carry on their work.

Some of the most skilled but most gullible former wizards of the Material Plane now toil eternally in Cania, alone except for their books, their tools, and their regrets.Ascending Astarion has condemned 7000 souls to endless study...
Hexblade that makes everything get shit ton of reverberation levels every time it interacts with enemies is pretty neat. I suspect it would work better as just an eldritch knight, but I like how single stat dependent it is
>>546611636Only Dalyria is smart enough to be put into scholarly work, the rest will be ground into lemures.
What alignment would you say Shadowheart is?
>>546613423Starts somewhere in the N and LE border but may lean into either even before the Nightsong encounter, becomes LE as a Dark Justiciar and NG as a Selunite.
>>546613423NE at the beginning of the game because of religion but a very benign, reluctant NE
>>546614038I would argue that Shadowheart isn't the same alignment as Shar since she follows a self-made dogma as a cope. Even when you descend to the Nightsong she praises to Shar in the style one would pray to some goddess with truth and knowledge in her domains. Real sharran prayers are nihilistic and spiteful.

>>546619127even a shadow heart?
>>546624837People really overestimate the logic of how they treat canon events. You don't have to look any further than what they did with BG1 and 2
>>546624837karlach throwing a tantrum and dying instead of going back to avernus was always stupid anyway
>>546625315WotC's "canon" still treats Astarion like a vampire spawn (>>546509104) - because how else would you recognize the iconic character from Baldur's Gate 3 - who can walk willy-nilly in sunlight. Similarly, Karlach and Shadowheart are still stuck in their level 1 attires, as if frozen in time. Yeah, I think such a canon is worthless.
I feel like the wotc writers never played bg3

>>546629318There's no scar across the nose, so I have to assume it's meant to be a different person.
>>546626612It wasn't uncommon in the past for them to reuse a short cast of characters for examples in ways that would be completely contradictory for book art. That's what the iconics were all about, but I think only pathfinder does that these days. I kind of miss the 3.5 ones with the cleric of Pelor that just happened to often do suspiciously evil shit all the time if you looked closely, or the fighter that was always dying.Taking video game characters and using them that way is kind of shameless though.

Karlach got tossed down from the upper floors and now everyone in Moonrise except Araj hate me.
>>546640462Her Rivington accent goes a long way!>>546642193How did that happen? Were they cool with you before? Situations like this happen when you suddenly lose plenty of Attitude with the group the NPCs belongs to. But Karlach is obviously not a Cultist in a technical sense.>except ArajThat makes sense as she's just LARPing as an Absolutist.
>>546643112I tried to sneak into the restricted rooms and had to fight a guard, he threw a void bulb that tossed Karlach down into the throne room which aggroed the scrying eyes and the entire lower floor, I hid and fled into camp but everyone downstairs now refuses to talk, at least they're not permahostile.
installing Rogue Trader, I know nothing about 40k what's a good class
>>546643919That explains everything. As I said, Attitude loss with the NPC's faction. Karlach was only responsible for this as an active participant of a fight who "poured over" into another area and thus triggered the allies of those you were fighting against. It could've been any of your party members. Which is annoying as the layout of Moonrise allows the player to take out Absolutist groups one by one if the door's closed and Scrying Eyes alpha-striked or one-shot in the first round to prevent them alerting others. Separation is the key with these hit jobs. The problem is that the Temporarily Hostile tags goes away but not the reputation hit, so you know have a decision to make.

Is there any difference between having a high attribute from allocation and feats and having it boosted by equipment? I dumped strength after I got the hill giant gauntlets and I swear I'm hitting for less with 23 strength than I was with 19.
>>546663210There shouldn't be any. 23 STR is 23 STR. Are you using the same weapons and equipment? Checking if you don't have Finesse weapon equipped is especially worth it.>>546661715>Enough waiting. I crave blood!
>>546664331Yeah same weapon. Different enemies thoughbeit, but still I was tearing Raphael's ass up and now I'm doing less to redcaps, figured they'd be easier not harder. Probably just imagining it, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some secret mechanic I was unaware of.
>>546664883if only the combat log has a detailed breakdown of rolls
I hope that larian will announce their next game this year, I'll always respect swen for not making a BG3 expansion but I can't say that I don't feel bad whenever I see how lackluster wyll, karlach & minthara feel in act 3, halsin can go eat shit lol idc, a mizora or zariel boss fight would have been cool too
>>546659028We're only keeping the lights on for that one anon who's still on their first playthrough. You don't have to keep posting your ugly screenshots. It's okay to let go.
>>546658583>you can't donate after searching the barn for the rigged toysYou gotta be kidding me. Not only is that a one-time opportunity but also it's limited in availability by external factors? We're talking about 3 easy Inspiration points!

>>546674924I will never understand this. It takes like 10 secs to make a hard save every now and then. You will never have such issues again once you develop a such habit. You can also enable lots of quicksave slots in this game. Why don't you use them?
I've only just started, but this is a most amazing game. They put in a good effort to make you feel like you're choosing your own path. The characters, the environments, the sound design, they've all been fantastic.And I really like my elf.

>>546680857Just in case you missed: there's an option to hide helmets (altogether or during dialogues). It appears if you hover your mouse over the Helmet slot. Have fun!

Is an "evil" playthrough even any fun? I don't mean a genocidal Durge playthrough, I mean a regular evil alignment playthrough.

I don't mean a genocidal Durge playthroughnot really. you're railroaded into saving the day. the most evil things you can do are just fuck with the tieflings in either act 1 or 2 and all that does is prevent you from getting some neat gear.>can't join the cult, facetiously or otherwise>can't help ketheric betray the other two>can't ally with orin, even with embrace durge or bhaal assassin>"alliance" with gortash is dialogue only and nothing comes of it, and again will prevent you from exp/itemsI guess you could say that being the archetypal hero throughout the game and then betraying everyone to dominate the brain is rather dastardly, but there's really no satisfying evil playthrough that doesn't involve murderhobo

>>546682156You're welcome! We had a poster who - as it turned out - had no idea about this option even after God knows how many hours or playthroughs. His companions appeared without helmets on his screenshots just like basically everybody else's, except instead of giving them helmets and hiding them he just rolled with an empty Head slot on everybody. That's how it occurred to me you know not know about it either. Feel free to ask anything here, just beware with casual browsing (both with posts and screenshots) as unmarked spoilers are very frequent.>>546683293Is there any reason why you didn't use her official portrait here?>>546682513Is there a "regular evil alignment" option besides genocidal (so non-resist) Durge playthrough though? That's the real question. I guess you can say there is but the margins are slim and I don't see why you wouldn't play a full degenerate Durge instead who incorporates everything you didn't do throughout your goody two-shoes playthrough.
>>546685367i didn't make it but presumably it was used because its a cute frog pic
>>546680395Just for the hag of it.
>>546682156>Lae'zel is my favourite companionWelcome home, anon.
The doctor is a devout Sharran who only treated Dark Justiciars, but Shadowheart doesn't complain when he's talked into sudoku. Curious...
>>546685957There was an Anon who said he made it. I thought he's the only one posting it. I only asked as her original portrait seemed such a perfect fit.>>546685957I don't know if you read the books in the institute but the convincing happened using his own so-called Sharran logic. It turns his madness and disregard for life against him.
>>546687596I read the books but just find it interesting that Shadowheart is just as happy to get rid of him as the rest of the party despite their shared religion.
>>546624837so why are karlach, shart, and astarion doing this in 1501? this is so specific i think wotc has something lined up
>>546624837i mean can't she have returned to avernus to survive and then pop back into fayrun in 1501?
>>546626612>Karlach and Shadowheart are still stuck in their level 1 attiresThat's just to make the characters recognizable. Considering Wyll isn't in the party or mentioned (as far as I know), this seems to imply that maybe Shadowheart went to Avernus with Karlach canonically
>>546689614They are in a poly relationship
>>546691249swen approves
Oh shit, I obviously meant the first paragraph of >>546687596 to >>546685495.>>546688014I see where you're coming from but I don't think the two would be mutually exclusive. People don't automatically like or prefer each other just because they share the same faith. Or here's something recent (for me): Lae'zel personally disapproves giving a donation to the refugees yet it earns her an Inspiration point and XP as a Soldier ("Sharing the Spoils"). There could be a conflict between your personal and professional (as much as being a Sharran is like this for Shart) interests or beliefs but the lines are often not as sharp as they seem for the first glimpse.>>546685710>Hagemony (noun): the social, cultural, ideological, or economic influence exerted by a dominant group.
>>546691249i think shart and karlach are together and astarion is third wheeling for... some reason. larian already showed these two together. it is a random couple to make canon tho. was wyll with karlach not popular enough for them
>>546690839I think you're falsely assuming they put more thought into their histories for these images than something like a Goofus and Gallant comic
>>546692128>for... some reasonHes popular >was wyll with karlach not popular enough for themWylls not popular
>>546692128wait larian actually put this art out?
>>546692161I doubt it. WotC wants to make more money off Bg3 and its characters. Don't be surprised if they have quite a bit lined out already. Why else would they state that certain events have taken place in a certain year?
>>546692669its from the larian cartoon
You think they will make one with Gayle, Wyll and Laezel
>>546693305i bet my left buttcheek lae'zel is fighting vlaakith in space. gale is prob in waterdeep. wyll is forgotten
>>546693305I think Lae'zel is the next most popular? There's probably a solid gap though
>>546694348I think Gale would be. Not talking romance, but in general. But who knows.

>>546699047What the fuck is she wearingEwEeew
The first time I see being explicitly stated that Tav is from Baldur's Gate. Obviously Larian wants it to be that way, hence the automatic Baldurian tag on your character page. (Though I can't tell if exotic races get them too. Probably not.) But this is the first occasion during my run where anybody treats it as a fact.
>>546699247frogskin
>>546700054Underdark races and Githyanki don't have it. There were multiple times you could have seen it before here though
>>546700054You missed a lot of dialogue then.
>>546700270Are you talking about the [BALDURIAN] tag during dialogues? A million times. But I went out of my way to avoid it. I have literally never taken it precisely to see how far I can get without being "forced" on me.
>>546682156
>>546701025yes!
So a mod I'm using on console appears to have been removed from the workshop in the middle of my playthrough and now I just can't fucking play anymore. What a load of shit.
>>546705068really shart modder?
>>546705187No I'm a /bgg/ tourist. Just came here to drop a vent post. 70 hours into a playthrough and its all thrown in the trash because a single mod can't be reactivated.
>>546701025Whoops wrong pic.
>>546705353which mod was it?
>>546705737Whoops wrong pic.
>>546705819Its called FreeRespecsAndHirelings. I was just using it to test out some different builds before committing earlier in the playthrough. What sucks is that it hasn't been relevant to my playthrough for a while I would happily just remove it if they let me. This feels terrible!

>>546706794>consolebabbyHeh. Its true.Been a couple months since I started said playthrough. I was probably aware that pickpocketing was an option back then. But I usually play very safe and pickpocketing is something I could see myself being afraid to do. This time however I will just do that instead, if it is ever necessary.
>>546707865If you take certain extra steps you can take basically all risk out of it, but it basically trivialized money outside of getting blessings from gods in act 3
So if reviving is something you can't do for just anyone, what the hell do these people think they're selling or putting in treasure chests?
>>546707713based
>>546690839>That's just to make the characters recognizable.That's what I already said. The thing is, it turns characters into stage props WotC can place and rearrange at random. The idea that any fan wouldn't be able to recognize Karlach - a 6'3" red tiefling with a broken horn - unless she's still, a decade later, wearing the rags she had in Avernus is pretty insulting. The idea that Astarion (either still a spawn or ascended) would casually hang out with his old buddies in broad daylight, maybe even have a drink at a tavern, or that Shadowheart would still randomly be wearing her Sharran chain shirt, is nonsensical. And for what? So secondaries can recognize these pokemon and clap? That kind of cheap art doesn't acknowledge any of the events - and associated outcomes - that take place in the game, and therefore can be safely discarded as worthless from the player's perspective.
>>546715182I still think it's weird they made Ketheric an elf. He has a beard and everything about him is about acting like he's been kept way past his expiration date.
Female fans (henceforth referred to as "sisters") of Astarion, the vampire spawn of Baldur's Gate 3, often share ritualistic posts on 4chan such as "Missionary with Astarion" or "Making dhampir babies with Astarion." Sisters also often share pictures of Astarion shirtless, clad in some fetishistic leather that leaves his chest bare, or fully naked - to the point where normal clothing would signal that the poster is likely a tourist. The overtly sexual nature of these posts is not accidental. Although some sisters prefer a more tender approach, such as giving him affectionate nicknames ("Pookie" or "precious baby") or fantasizing about cuddling with him and stroking his hair, the undercurrent of sexualization is never far away. Likewise, the apparent sisters' preference for the confident and dominant Ascendant Astarion over his meeker spawn counterpart is not surprising. Ascendant Astarion plays to the sexist stereotype of masculinity - the macho idea of how a real man should be and how close a leash he should keep on his woman. A man should not show vulnerability. A man should be sexually dominant. Astarion becomes, through the daily repetition of such posts, and in the Welchian sense, a sex object. Reduced to a perfectly sculpted body, devoid of imperfection and eternally young. Critics have long praised Astarion for his nuanced and layered characterization, but all of that is flushed down the drain once he ascends. Vampire portrayal in fiction has a long history of intertwining forbidden danger and eroticism, but that alone cannot explain the heights of "Astarion posting" that eclipse the sexualization of popular female characters in the game, indeed of other sexy vampire characters that came before. Call it the ASS (Astarion Sexualization Syndrome), if you will. Astarion unfortunately epitomizes the sexual commodification of characters who were meant to be more than sex objects, from the thousands of smut works on Archive of Our Own to the dark corners of 4chan.
