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: >>570480512
Blessing this thread with cuteness.
>>570770379Surely you understand how underwhelming it is to know a run will be made less enjoyable because of a single rp decisions that gives no rp benefits (because again, at moonrise they don't even seem to know what happened)
>he is ghaik
>>570770747No, I don't understand that, actually. Because you are not describing roleplaying - decision-making based on a character's personality, values, and goals - but skipping to the reward section. You are comparing yourself to a good-aligned playthrough where the player reaps most of the same rewards. They get to recruit Minthara and Astarion as well? Not fair! I find the complaint that the evil path is not rewarding or exclusive enough no less dubious for being extremely common. The fact that siding with Minthara in an attempt to get closer to the heart of the cult doesn't pan out is, once again, outside the scope of roleplaying. It does give you a moonlantern, which makes your access to Moonrise and Roah's inventory much easier. There's your mechanical incentive.
Trying to get these two ladies to get along
Gorion's Ward once said:I am excited for DivinityIdle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is an official Dungeons & Dragons tm game.Minthara is canonically 150 years old, pansexual and neutral evilI collect barrels and throw them at every boss including MintharaMinthara did not watch Viconia leave in her childhoodMinthara is the throat goatI respect all women but MintharaIf you romance Minthara you are a horrible personIf you romance Astarion you are a great personI ascended AstarionI romanced ascended AstarionI enjoy all the male companionsI play with LOTS of mods onI love editing the character's appearances with modsI fucked Halsin and Shadowheart at the same time and loved itShadowheart is right not to use her birthnameShadowheart is not chaotic evilShar is neutral evilGale was groomed by MystraI play sorcererI camp castYou cannot find Mayrina's brothers' corpsesKarlach is okay for using soul coinsWyll is a real characterI sympathized with KethericI play male TavI love using summonsI love dragonborns, halflings, gnomes and dwarvesAlfira and many other npcs would make good companions

I finally realised why Act 3 drags me down and it isn't because it feels all over the place, I actually like the more open feel of it. It's the inventory system and the fact that by now my chest back in camp is absolutely cluttered with different items, equipment, stuff that I may or may not need and finding the right items to take out and equip has been a complete hassle even when they are "sorted". Why the hell doesn't the chest, the place where 99% of the time is where all your stuff is going to go, have the same text search tool that the characters own inventory screen have? That's the one place where it would absolutely make sense to have it!
>>570785573actually if you feel dragged down at act 3, you have mental illness. anon in the previous thread said so
>>570785573Larian's inventory designs in their games have always been quite subpar.
>>570780750i read them as a teen.i remember liking them well enough
>>570794658 yup
What is this clunky gold design? If you put a lot of these in a pouch, the curved ridge and edges are just gonna jut out everywhere and make a lot of unused space.
John broke me.
hmmm, page 10. Interesting.Suppose I'll say I love Minthy to save the thread.
>>570804009based
>>570804009based. also page 10 again
>>570774783>Obviously RP wise it makes sense, but its lame from a design stand point>YOU ARE NOT DESCRIBING ROLEPLAYINGCorrect, as I explicitly stated myself, I am not describing roleplayingYou truly are a perceptive oneIt's very simple anon, if I want to play an evil run, I will not play bg3 because the game was designed to fuck over evil characters in ways that do not even make logical sense (the eye scrying the goblin camp should make it so siding with the grove makes it IMPOSSIBLE to infiltrate moonrise as everyone knows who you are), so I will play another game, with a more dominant evil path. This is a problem, this is a design flaw with the game, that one path is clearly much lamer than the other.You could roleplay as a suicidal character, kill yourself jumping off a ledge, and let that be your run. Would it be roleplaying? Yes. Would it be a good run? No.Roleplaying DOESN'T GUARANTEE a good or a fun run, if the game accomodates evil runs by fucking over the player out of a shitton of content and giving him NOTHING, the game is punishing roleplaying rather than encouraging it, it is instead encouraging metagaming. This is a big failure on the game's part. Raiding the grove has no business being as dogshit as an option as it is, especially since as I've said, it doesn't even MAKE SENSE you can infiltrate moonrise on a good run.

>>570816803I opened this thread after a year, only to see exactly the same pictures and conversations.
Why couldn't I be enough for you...
>>570823835It doesn't make sense, with all the dlcs that released why are we not discussing all the new content?

>>570825280Alright, you're excluded. We'll be back soon :)
what does goodberry taste like
>>570825785good
>>570825785GoodIt says in the name, RETARD
>>570825785It's fresh and juicy
>>570825785like halsin's semen
>>570825785depends on the druid's recent diet but thick, slimy, best to take it down as quick as possible
>>570814093It is implied that the scrying eyes report only to Gortash, as evidenced by the Steel Watcher in Rivington. It is also shown that Ketheric is uninterested in what kind of True Soul the player character is, what might happen to Minthara, or really anything not related to Isobel or the Nightsong. Hells, he barely reacts to them being the Dark Urge, but that's another issue. On to the point of disagreement. The game does not owe the player an equal share of companions, quests, and rewards simply because they choose the evil path. I would go even further and say it would not be very coherent if that were the case. The world is not perfectly split between good and evil forces, and an honest story should reflect that. Narrative integrity is not concerned with balancing the shiny toys that good-aligned and evil-aligned characters get. (Evil-aligned characters get plenty of mechanical rewards already, including extra experience, bonuses, and the best weapon in the game.) I think players who want a satisfying evil path might be equally disappointed if they recognized that it was artificially padded to make up for what is lost. This is not to say that the evil path is not underwhelming (it is) or that it ought to lack exclusive content (it should not) as punishment. But genuinely satisfying evil roleplay does not always come in the form of an exclusive Paladin companion - let alone in a game where anyone can become one. It could have been a justifiable design choice in another game, but BG3 already allows the player character to ally themselves with a githyanki, a Sharran, a vampire spawn, and a wizard. Arbitrarily singling out Minthara no longer makes sense in that context. On a final note, I would argue that BG3 does not really dwell on good and evil - and the line is often blurred with the companions anyway - but rather what might be compromised or sacrificed in the pursuit of power. Whether to consume tadpoles does not cleanly map to good or evil, for example.
>>570826436>The game does not owe the player an equal shareThe game doesn't owe *anything*, so we might as well not discuss how to make it better?What the fuck is this argument? Are you baiting?The game doesn't owe the player dialogue options, better remove them! The game doesn't owe the player companions, lets cut those out as well!Like, what the fuck are you on?The game would be better with a better evil path, this should not be controversial, you might disagree on HOW to make a better evil path, but "the game wouldn't be better by being better" is a completely fucking deranged position to defend. >It is also shown that Ketheric is uninterested>it would not be very coherent if that were the case>artificially paddedDo you not realize that Ketheric being uninterested in something he should obviously be interested in is an incoherent thing specifically done to artificially pad a good run so they get to infiltrate moonrise too?Do you TRULY not see the irony in your argument?> in the form of an exclusive Paladin companionNot anymore!
>cuckspam>crying about dead thread>gpt novels
>>570827258things are not "spam" just because you dislike them, babe :)Daddy H and Shaddy are characters in the game. Pictures of them together and stories about their relationship (and feeding Tav lots of goodberry) are completely on topic and are no more "spam" than any other BG3 discussion.I suggest you deal with it

How come the grave robbers at Wither's temple were level 2 when it takes 2 or 3 battles to level up to 3? Did they start adventuring the day before?
How come shadowheart wants to be a third wheel in act 3?

>try to play the game>can't look Her in the eye>quit, again>come to /bgg/>H*lsin and Sh*ddy posts as far as the eye can seelife is pain
>>570823835But we had our fun, no?Truly the Lord of the Rings of video games.>>570831369"Leveling up" as a concept doesn't really translate really well, in DND there's mainly two schools of thought, the XP one and the milestone. While mechanically BG3 uses the XP one, it's doesn't mean it's actually the way it works in-world.So maybe they have been adventuring for years, without really finding anything valuable or stuff that made them "grow" as adventurers.And since they all die in every run, I can see why is that.
>>570827258It's funny because you call it cuckspam but literally every single line is from the game
>>570833302I am once again asking you to unblur that frog
>>570833582where the fuck in the game does it say that after Halsin unloads into Shadowheart that his cum changes her "scent"
>>570833828The epilogue
>>570833681No.>>570833828It doesn't. But people cling to the weirdest thing, these generals being one of them. A repetition compulsion to keep posting the same thing over and over again.>>570816231This looks cool. I love this other armor tho.
