>want to start another playthrough of baldurs gate 3>remember underdark exists
You know you can just go through the mountain pass to act 2, right? The underdark is entirely optional.
>>740056374/thread
>>740056374coollol I thought underdark was act 2 this whole time. I never got past that part
>>740056139How to unlock Yuffie
>>740056139>want to start another playthrough of baldurs gate 3look we get it, you're a fag and its fag month, you don't need to make another thread about it
>>740056374>just ignore character level, 10k gold and godly items and permanent character powers
>>740059245Workshop if fren, you need to make it more snappy
>>740059564Yes?
>>740059564You get all that in the mountain pass as well. Which is better depends on your character, but it's pretty similar. I would argue the mountain pass is better, personally. You can do both, but you will be over leveled then and hit the level cap around the start of act 3, I found. You have 2 options. Both are good and perfectly viable.
>>740056139The Underdark is great, thougbeit. It's such an absurdly high effort game with unique assets everywhere. Most of the enemies in the game only appear once and have high-fidelity 3D models and animations.
>>740059245I am once again glad to share that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom lost to Baldur's Gate 3. It bent over, knelt down, and took big, fat bear cock deep in its butthole.
>>740060034The environment is beautiful and it has some decent combat encounters. There are definitely "THAT part" (s) of BG3 you could complain about like the Gauntlet of Shart or the entirety of act 2 (imo) but I don't know that I have ever seen someone complain about the underdark specifically.
>>740056374I actually never went to the frog people pass and only saw that in a video later on (and also read you could actually do both). its super unintuitive to do both though no? i doubt ill ever replay this though, took forever. maybe in coop
>>740060234Mountain pass is my favourite part of the game. But the Gith have always been one of my favourite parts of Dungeons and Dragons lore and Lae'zel was my favourite companion. Cool lore, atmosphere, music, items, side quests. But I enjoyed the underdark as well. I normally do both.
>>740060234The gith welcome party at the bridge do a pretty good job of letting you know you ought to come back after you get some levels under your belt
>>740056139the underdark was the most fun part for me. the game was so boring after i got out that i dropped it
>>740056139For me its act 3. The moment the game starts to speedrun everything with lots of quest failured states if you skip a step or didnt rush them in time puts such a pressure i get bored and stopped.
>>740059972>lvl 12 at start of act 3, I foundProblem?
>>740060143I didn’t mind the gauntlet of Shar, but the main map ambushes were a major pain in the ass. If you don’t spot the thorn beasts or garroting little assholes, chances are you’ll get absolutely fucked turn one. The thorn ones are especially bad given they suicide bomb you, meaning anyone who gets surrounded either has to have thunder wave or high strength and pray they pass their rolls.Plus the pathfinding means you have odd times where you randomly go into turn based mode because someone wandered out of the light source, and they just had to be the one guy you didn’t cast light on
>>740063318Not a problem. At least not for me. Just mentioning to that anon that you definitely don't need to do both areas to max level.
>>740059564>it's another meta gamer that can't have funThis is likely why I'm ok with "git gud" players over you is at least their philosophy is baked into "skill" rather than meta shit of "but it's the best skill! Why play the game if you are not mini/maxing for that!"
Underdark is one of the best pieces of BG3 content, it's act 2 that is half baked and the upper right portion of the map is literally just 3 boss fights you can skip entirely, no idea why they thought it's a good thing.
i wonder if the new Larian game will have the same recurring failure where the game takes a nosedive in its final act
>>740059564>character levelCharacter level is capped long before you even make it to act 3. You're just concerned with min-maxing like a fag.>goldDon't think I've ever found myself in a situation where I was tight on gold after act 1.>godly itemsmore min-max faggotry, but ultimately correct.>permanent character powersSuch as?
>>740064070Act 3 was far better than 2, its main issue is a piss low level cap, remove it and it improves tenfold.But they really should ditch their current model and adopt the BG2's world structure with a world map.
>>740064070Arx is better than the nameless isle, and Baldur’s Gate is better than the shadow cursed lands. The main issue in BG3 is that a lot of the end game content feels like it’s there to shore up anyone who didn’t optimally level, but since almost everyone will at least complete Cazador’s mansion, the house of hope, sorceries sundries, the jailbreak and the house of grief, almost nobody will ever need anything else
>>740063770I play with lv 16 unlocked anyway. Have my custom classes, too.
>>740063930Like 2h in in act 2 I knew they fucked up godly. Having the bright adventure in act 1 and the dark tone is a shift that kills the game. Act 2 should've been bg as a base and adventuring from there. Big brain narrative was lame, too.
>>740064862>house of hope>house of griefGreat names, whoa
>>740056139*act 3
I only liked act 1
>>740065161The tiny part that took 3 years to make is better than the rushed part. Gee, how come?
>>740063553I haven't played without the WASD movement and third-person free camera mods in years, and I always navigate with my Rogue for Sneak Attack ambushes by holding down the line of sight key, but the pathfinding is ass in the game. You can't rely on just clicking attack on an enemy at a distant if the NPC is crowded. You can end up running overshooting or running into an enemy's reaction attack. It's shit. Hope they work on it for Divinity. It wasn't as big of an issue in OS2.
>>740064862>Arx is better than the nameless isle, and Baldur’s Gate is better than the shadow cursed lands.except they aren't. The pace falls off completely, and all you're left with is awkward gameplay. Larian writing is also abysmal. They better have gotten a new writer.
>>740065675Larian makes perfect ea experiences and then the game falls off completely. Plenty of 0lebs only ever replay act 1 in bg3 or Fort joy in dos2. Unsure if sad or genius.
>>740065819Act 3 is my favorite in BG3. It's just crammed with varied content, from pirates, to underwater prisons, to clockwork giants, to ancient mummies, to djinns, to fucking dinosaurs in a separate dimension. Act 2 is my favorite in OS2.
>>740065675The nameless isle is the worst part of DOS2 and it’s not even close.Since you’re clearly going off memes, the reason people shat on Arx on release was because it was utterly bugged up the ass
>>740066151Not to mention The House of Hope. The greatest CRPG dungeon.
>>740066181The wizard seeking the Nightsong in his magic tower was also good. And the bank heist.
>>740056139this...is AI, right?
>>740056139cute yuffster
>>740059564completionists/meta gamers dont have fun playing games, they have a job playing gamesProve me wrong, you literally cant.
>>740066181Never did it.>>740066151It's a bit too much imo. My act 3 was bugged. I might give it another go now that quest flags aren't as broken.
>>740066356Mod
>>740066442Achievements did this to some people. They need something to aim for instead of just playing the game.
>>740056374>not meeting the best npc in the game>not looting the tower filled with scrolls>not getting the spore buff, psychic resist potions and slashing resist amulet before going to the creche>not getting Phalar Aluve>not casting grease on Thulla>not going to the Grymforge>not reving Wyll after you push him down the hole>not sacrificing Wyll to the fish peopleNot going to the Underdark is simply not an option
>>740066151On repeat playthroughs since you have knowledge of everything, sometimes I just rush the story and then take my time in Act 3.
>>740066501wtf? looks waaay too detailed for a mod.
>>740066558Apart from seeing some Easter Eggs or fun choices etc, you don't even need any of that shit. In terms of gear/items, the moment you reach Baldur's Gate you'll replace it all. I guess this is coming from someone who's completed it multiple times.
>>740056139I loved the underdark. Easily the coolest area in the entire game. I also loved the deep roads in Dragon Age.
>>740066472There's a huge amount of QoL, bugfix and EA content restoration mods you can use now on top of an endless number of new subclass adaptations. It's not that far removed from Skyrim in terms of replay value with mods.
>>740067215>and EA content restoration modsIsn't this like 3 quests in early act 1? Still no story campaign. Larian got once again tricked into releasing tools no one cares about.
>>740056139>>740066501sauce?
>>740067507Also lots and lots of cut dialogue and scenes throughout the game. Even past act 1. A lot of unfinished or cut content buried in the game files that has been restored.
>>740056374op assblasted into oblivion /thread
>>740066591It is more interesting than act 1 and 2. In vanilla, it's more fun to get there at a lower level. If you do everything in act 1 and 2, you basically hit the level cap. Modded you can increase the level cap to 20 with progression and also rebalance the game for it, and then you basically have to do everything not to get destroyed.
>>740066151My issue with Act 2 in OS2 (mainly in definitive edition) is how fucked the level scaling is at that point especially in DE where nerfed exp means you have to do almost everything to not fall behind. For some reason level 10-14 are absolutely huge in terms of stat scaling (both you and enemies) meaning you can walk a bit down the road and suddenly get wrecked by enemies who are only 2 levels above you
>>740067753Ff7 nexus, you daft?
>>740067768Is it really a lot? Will check it out. >>740067810>assblastedJapanese for earth blaster
>>740056139The underdark is piss easy. Step one, kill the bulette. Step two, find Spaw and have him raise the dead bulette as a zombie. Step three, kill everything else.
>>740070290I just kill anything that moves. Play as ass lasted gith and kill anything that moves. Jergal gives me 4 tavs to kill anything that moves.
>>740059564The only truly tragic loss in skipping the underdark is probably the Caustic Band, which is a truly BiS ring for fighters or archers of any kind, otherwise who GAF. As for that other shit you said, just get the halfling hireling and respec her into a rogue and use the gold stack splitting exploit, shopkeeper's inventories' are all entirely free for the rest of the game
>>740069891It’s somewhat alleviated by the trolls and Alice giving you free high level gear
