Karlach was the perfect Bioware character
The disconnect between her background and her college teen personality was pure bioware slop

>Backstory: "I was forced to watch as my family were killed in front of me. Then I was raped on the blood-soaked floor. After that I was sold into sexual slavery. I was there for 6 years, until I escaped, just in time for my 12th birthday..."
Personality: "I got stood up at prom and Stacy called me fat."

I was kinda surprised by her. I usually hate the quippy upbeat character but I was never annoyed by any of Karlachs dialogue. Her main problem is that her story is unfinished, not really interesting, and blatantly rushed. She’s not as good as Lohse.

No, Im just refusing to call nu-Bioware games that are 20 year old. Thats Bioware at its core and thats what those krauts at Larian tried to mimic, because its easy to sell to women

Why are you playing a game that's literally made for faggots and far-left activists?
>>
My dream is that someone uses AI to make Ketheric, Gortash, and Orin all recruitable.
>>
>>739425402
First of all, no. She isn't.
Karlach is kind of annoying and I do agree is way too quirk chungus for the setting and doesn't act her age, but she still has a strong and memorable personality and backstory.

The worst written character is Wyll because he is barely written. After being totally changed in the EA he is now generic good guy with no personality other than his class is a warlock.
>>
>>739428164
that is the most faggoty looking bg3 character i have ever seen, impressive
>>
The only BG3 companion I actually liked was Laezael. Everyone else came across as whiny teenagers.
>>
>>739425402
I don't remember this scene.
Though maybe that's because Karlach had a negative opinion of me at the end of the game. She overheated and burned to death screaming about how none of it was worth it, she didn't want to die and wasn't ready. Actually thought her ending was kinda cool, like devs don't usually go that hard on Good Guys
>>
>>739425402

Definitely Mission. The idea of Darth Revan rolling around the galaxies most ancient dangerous tombs with a 13 year street kid is both silly and creepy.

Well I mean her killing the demon is the end of her character arc. DOS2 kinda has a problem of characters stopping as characters once you complete their quest.
>>
>>739428494
>fuck yeah soldier
no? why would I feel embarrassed by that?
>constant swearing
no? she’s the type of character to swear.
>4th wall breaks
the only 4th wall break is literally impossible to access without hacking
>and her talking/acting like some modern day redditor awkwardly inserted into a fantasy RPG
???
>accent
her voice actress is very good and captures the character well
I feel like if every character was written like Karlach it would be annoying but she’s unique so it works. She’s like Minthara in that way.
>>
>>739428128
She was a pretty good team retard but getting lashed onto Will's awful story really hurt her imo
>>
>>739430402
Revan kept her around so he could pull off a cheeky pipe to pipe bushman every so often
>>
>>739428164
Destiny?!
>>
>>739432624
Yes it felt like they needed some way to make Wyll feel more involved after his rewrite. It’s been talked to death but Wyll’s problem is that he’s super passive about everything that happens to him and it’s pretty unclear what his actual feelings about his situation are. And then everything at the end with his dad just works out in one conversation it’ts extremely rushed.
>>
No multiclass, which Warlock pact is best?

she literally says "But it's a bit early in the Game to be getting into tragic backstories." the first time you met her

>>739433767
I like great old one because it's very easy to be critmaxxing in this game and having free stuns on your eldritch blast is cool
Hexblade's spirit summon is ok
Archfey and fiend give you ok spells but their features are kinda meh
>>
>>739433937
that’s not really a 4th wall break, more like a 4th wall tap. it can also just be using an expression. like when you say you rescued the tieflings “for the experience” and they respond “well I hope you write a nice book about it”

>>739434175
Which is the best Eldritch Blaster?
>>
>>739435358
goolock because of the aforementioned stun
you can stay monoclass, but if you REALLY want to be maximising on eldritch blast then consider at least 2 levels of Sorcerer for metamagic and spellslot transfer, convert your pellslots into metamagic points and use the twinned spell to double up the amount of your blasts
it gets better with levels, for example at lvl 5 when you have two beams for 1 cast of eldritch blast, if you twin it you get 4 instead
with the great old one's mortal reminder feature you can be both the dps and the crowd control
>>
>>739425402
i knew this character was going to be dogshit the moment she said "fuck yes" when you first meet her. then cue her getting to camp and EVERYONE automatically loves her and thinks she's the best.

how people put up with this fucking dogshit i'll never understand.

Karlachs story is the The Death of Ivan Ilyich. Its the only exceptional plot point in the game. Her scene after killing the tyrant was litterally only 11/10 moment. Don't insult muscle mommy.

Subconsciously i dont even register post 2010 nuBioware as the same company, when somebody says "perfect bioware character" first thing which came to my mind was bg1,bg2, Kotor or DAO,(i didnt play ME games so cant judge), i dont even consider post collapse Bioware games like Veilguard or Mass Effect Andromeda as legitimate examples, nobody serious considers them as the staple of Bioware.
>>
>>739436469
Yeah the companion situation is weird. You get Shadowheart who gets two entire dungeons to herself, is practically mandatory for Act 2, literally leaving you permanently if you don’t take her to the Nightsong.
And then Karlach and Wyll are blatantly unfinished.
>>
>>739433767
Hexblade and it's not even close. He has by far the most powerful list of features if you want to stay pure.

>>739425402

I think it's Wyll - his character was literally aborted just before release

>boo hoo red woman behaves like an idiot
Yeah, but she's coping and seething becuase devs cut out the ending of her questline where she gets her heart fixed

Writing in bg3 is the weakest part imo
>>
>>739438016
Only Astarion, Laezel, and Shadowheart matter. Coincidentally, these are the only companions that cannot leave you for factors external to their questlines. Gale barely has any interactions. Wyll has a questline that requires him being alive to get info on, but you can just stumble upon it anyway. Karlach doesn’t matter in the slightest. No companions that join in act 2 or 3 matter at all. Only the three companions the game basically makes unmissable and impossible to lose were worth giving main quest integration and large questlines.
>>
>>739442850
I think the dialogue and micro writing is all fine though larger plot has a lot of problems.
>>
I don't think a soldier in the Blood War would come out very sane.
I think Mizora should've been Karlach's devil boss. Working directly under Zariel is very silly because Archdevils' Courts are other high-power devils. A mortal tiefling is lower than a piece of shit in the Hells.
>>
>>739444579
it leans into waifu/husbando baiting way too much and the greater plot with big brain from futurama which is controlled via a triforce of doom doesn't work because the game doesn't treat itself seriously enough - yeah, sure, there is violence and sex everywhere but characters behave like office plankton which went on the corp mandated larp session

True. But the whole game is a pure millennial cringe fest that never ends
Plus it becomes progressively woke the longer you play

Fuck this shit, i fucking hate millennial slop
>>
>>739446370
BG3's story didn't try at all. Interest in it is almost entirely driven by the shenanigans you can do unless you're a woman or a /v/irgin in which case you only ever talk about the companions you have an event with like once an hour.
>>
>>739445932
not really, the tone of the game was pretty serious. it felt very similar to the first 2 games which were just “standard fantasy epic blockbuster”. just because it isn’t grimdark doesn’t make it an ironic LARP fest.
also it is bad writing to signal the romance stuff so obviously, but I have a feeling if they didn’t do that everyone would complain about not getting the romance they wanted.

>Women regularly cry on stream

all the things you can do involve interacting with the faggot writing or cheesing the game world with dumb bullshit like spamming explosive barrels for the 6 millionth time. literally the most boring fucking crpg i have ever played.
>>
>>739446796
This game's writing was fucked extremely hard by WoC and the wider modern DnD audience shoving their nose into the development of the game and insisting on changes. The first Act originally had companions that were much more hostile or secretive, where your relationship was born out of necessity early on and their characters were more nuanced and would take much longer to develop meaningful relationships.
>>
>>739447108
>Your only "creative" options are explosive barrels
That sounds like a (You) problem. BG3 is among the best CRPGs in the genre for creative problem solving and player freedom via items, character control, and environmental interaction.
>>
>>739446370
Oh he updated his bait image. That's cute.
>>
>>739447309
I'm glad Wyll exists as a highlight for this, since he had enough going on in the early access to confirm that he had a massive change in his character.
>>
>>739447309
Mm sure. I saw a lot of that on /v/ too, complaining about the companions being mean. I think I like DOS2’s writing more.
>>
>>739447579
The main problem IIRC was Shadowheart initially not reacting to you rescuing her at all, which made her needlessly bitchy
>>
>>739447309
If you ever played other Larian games you would know BG3 is their best written game
Yeah, the others were THAT bad
>>
>>739447967
Any game that has elf genocide as an objective good can't be badly written
>>
>>739447967
That’s an exaggeration. DOS2 had pretty great writing and DOS1 is kinda just ok, its biggest sin is too much exposition and kinda unfocused plot. And this is just for long term writing. You can tell their focus is on quests and moment to moment dialogue because it’s strong in all their games, even DOS1
>>
>>739449745
>DOS2
>great writing

i liked Dos2 companions more but only because they werent such a horny sex pests like in bg3, outside of it bg3 was an improved almost over eveything even its mediocre story which fall off a cliff by the time u hit act3
>>
>>739450440
how so? the writing was pretty good in DOS2. lots of memorable encounters and lines, they did a great job at giving a sense of tragedy to the world. BG3’s fine too but it’s a bit more standard. Cinematics help a lot of course.
