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: >>521280237

>>521523539from what I have seen, the death domain cleric seems kind of bad actually.
>>521523539Bladesinger is just too good to pass up. Gonna give Swords Bard a run for its money.
Hewo i'm new here. Is this a good time to play bg3?
>>521524217Yes as in this general time, but if you mean like today, no, an update releases in a couple days that adds new subclasses and stuff
>>521524217Wait for the 15th we're getting the final patch that adds a lot of subclasses
>>521522214A yucky hand edition*
>>521524009How so? It's one of the best classes of the bunch. Reaper allows you to twin Toll the Dead from level 1. Touch of Death stacked with Inflict Wounds for a necrotic Divine Smite. Inescapable Destruction ignores necrotic resistance.
Death Cleric almost sounds on the level of that Dread Overlord Warlock mod.
I'm sad because I got the idea for a fun run of like one person being a necromancer wizard summoning stuff, while the other person plays a like oathbreaker paladin for the aura that buffs undead, but I feel like I'm missing out if I don't play the new patch classes
>>521524217the first important thing you have to know before starting new game:futa Tav is canon and only serves Shadowheart
>>521524217the second is the guy on your image is a fagot
>>521524075The only downside is that you have to play a W*z*rd.
>>521525156You can go one run without being CHA-based or using Gale.
>>521524434the twin cantrips and ignoring the necrotic resistance are nice but that's about it. The channel divinity thing is ok at best, it only affects melee attacks, can only be used twice per short rest or effectively per battle (so knowing shadowheart she will miss both of them) and the problem with it being melee attacks only is that you can only attack once per turn as a cleric as you don't get an extra attack.
>>521525678Bard was better when it's casting used to be INT-based and there was no charisma casting at all.
WHERE IS THE PATCH JENNIFEEEEEEEEER ???!!!!!!!!!!
It's a shame that the baboon is still the default """Human""" character. I have to do a lot of work to change it to what it always should have been.
>>521526675April 15th.
the first thing im gonna do with photomode is making shadowheart twerk
>>521526734You are probably Indian
>>521527697Indians are Aryan.
>>521527697I'm not Indian though. >>521527929They're not. They are Dravidians.
Summer game fest is getting closer and closer, it's time. BG3 rules but it's time to move on. Let larian usher a new age of good wrpgs.https://youtu.be/B95OUKk7alM?si=rg5Wm_HNODT1TcYC
>>521526935I don't need photomode for that
>>521529497pov: halsin
1hexblade/11 swords bard sounds like the most powerful build in the game
>just started bg1 again, was planning on finally finishing it this time before my next bg3 playthrough>patch coming tuesday
>>521529497Bro, I got UFC to watch, don't make me goon right now>>521528472If Swen talks about his gay ass space game, I won't watch.He needs to reveal the big secret BG3 expansion.
>>521536673BG4 and the bg3 expansion got canned after a few months of preproduction, the new subclasses were probably supposed to be featured in the dlc
I just bought BG3 after eyeballing it for a long while. What difficulty should I go with?
>>521537663honor mode
>>521537663Anyone with a basic understanding of D&D should start on Tactician. "Balanced" treats the player with kid gloves, and that's simply not fun.
>>521536673>big secret BG3 expansionIf you want futa porn, there's plenty on rule34.
>>521537663If you have any experience with 5e, or turn based tactics games generally, you can start with Tactician. You only need a lower difficulty if you are slow.
>>521537663I was going to say Balanced but now I feel really sad with myself because everyone else said balanced is for babies and I don't feel proud of myself for beating the game last night, so go with Tactician
Spaaaaaaace
>>521537663tactician is "easy" difficulty, honor is "medium" difficulty
>>521538452Beating any 70+ hour game is an accomplishment regardless of difficulty. And now you know you're ready for tactician since you beat balanced.Daily reminder that only 23% of people have completed the game on any difficulty.
>>521538853nigger
I wish it was easier to like enable the legendary actions from honor mode without all the other stupid restrictions of itI just want to have fun boss mechanics qnd the custom mode settings are really unclear
>>521538452It's not like Tactician is an insane difficulty jump compared to Balanced or anything, so it's unlikely you'd have been filtered if you found Balanced easy enough. Tactician is just the better experience baseline. The AI gains more abilities, is smarter, targets spellcasters more often, and hits more frequently.
>>521538997Wyll will remain in bg3 silly
>>521536673>Bro, I got UFC to watch, don't make me goon right nownigga half the people in the watch thread are posting pron and gooning themselves
>>521539041Leg action would be good to even be put in tactician if they were appropriately implemented. Only enemies like Myrkl and Orin must have legendary actions. Why the fuck does waste of space like Dror have legendary action? It's a lvl 5 hobgoblin, a literal trash mob in every definition, yet it is treated as an avatar of god by the game mechanic.
>>521540631Because legendary actions are a fun way to add unique flavor to a fight as a whole, it's cool
>>521540631>Why the fuck does waste of space like Dror have legendary action?Goblin Temple is effectively the first major dungeon of the game, with Dror Razglin being the final boss.As when you attack him, every Goblin will be hostile to you, whereas Gut / Minthara can be taken out without making the entire camp become hostile.
I just bought the game desu and I'm playing a melee warlock only to discover that booming blade isn't in the game... But is apparently getting added in a patch in the next few days. Should I just chill until then?
>>521541570Mhmm
>>521537979I played tactician after playing balanced and I noticed no difference
>>521541570Ye
>Warlock>Paladin>RangerDo these classes do anything other than spam the same bonus action spells every combat?
running my fingers through pookie's curls as he drains every last drop of blood from my body
>>521539765Not seen any tranny dicks yet, so decent threads so far.Makes me want to do another OH monk to heem everyone.
>>521542565Paladin gets a bunch of useful spells that are really good to use, smite isn't a bonus action itself just free whenever you make a melee hits I very rarely actively choose to smite, whenever I do paladin I like only ever skite on crits or after I hit, if adding the smite on top would be enough to kill off the person
>>521538983>Beating any 70+ hour game is an accomplishment regardless of difficulty.I'm not so sure about that. One hour per day for 100 days or 4 hours per weekend for 25 weeks is 100 hours of total play time. It's more like they just picked up the game, played Act I (only 52% of players left Act I), left a review, then perhaps a bit of Act II (only 40% left it) and then either restarted a few times before quitting for various reasons.It's interesting to note that only 12% of players completed DOS1 and DOS2. For a much shorter game at maybe 20-40 hours, Trials of Mana, has only about 25% of owners on steam having beaten the final boss. Looking the mass effect games, Mass Effect 1 has only 23% of players completing it in the legendary edition. In fact, even with later entries being a little longer but still much shorter than the other games have a similar completion rate. It would probably be hard to find very many games that have a high completion rate when achievements correlating to completing the game actually exist regardless of length on steam.
>>521541570You can always mod it into the game if you really want it. There are a variety of spell mods that will add it to the game.
>>521542565>RangerHunter Ranger can abuse poor enemy positioning.Hunter Beastmaster gets extra summons (not terribly useful until 11).
>>521538983>>521543328i played the game a ton at launch but then lost interest in act 3. took me months to actually come back around and finish the game. even then it kinda felt like i was forcing myself because act 3 is not that fun there are probably a lot of players like me except they couldn't be bothered to finish it
>>521544419Most of them lost interest in either act I or act II. Most people probably did not find act I or act II fun either which is why they also quit the game.
>>521541507How does that answer my question?They could have made the boss something cool instead of a trash mob with some plot armour.In fact, it would have been reasonable to put one of the chosen 3 as the final boss of that location, this way there would be 1 chosen for each act to defeat.
>>521544713Hair looks good from this angle but shit otherwise.
>>521544596eh a lot of people buy games and then dont even play them. like only 67% have the achievement for taking four long rests. i m o you didn't even really pick up the game if you didn't get that far. some might have gotten confused by the controls or something
>>521544862>How does that answer my question?The whole Goblin thing is a pretty big element in early Act 1, as it also results in a unique camp event with the party, so it does make sense why at least one of the Goblin leaders isn't a total pushover.>this way there would be 1 chosen for each act to defeat.Makes little sense as the involvement of the Dead Three isn't revealed until the tail end of Act 2, fighting a Chosen of a God at level 3-4 wouldn't feel that great, either.Also, Act 1 then also goes on for some time with the Underdark, Grymforge and Mountain Pass.I'm not entirely turned off by the idea but it would've required to restructure the game quite a bit and actually move whatever Chosen you want to fight in Act 1 all the way to the end of it (which is the Creche).Funnily enough, original plan was to fight Orin at the Creche who was attacking it with a tadpoled dragon.
>>521545310I always restart before my 4th long rest :(
>decades of rpgs>not ONE (1) has made a fun melee necromancerSigh!
>>521524075Nah. Swords Bard is still far superior to it.
I still think about her
>>521545310According to Steam achievements, 90.4% of players took control of the nautiloid and completed the tutorial. A similar thing can be found with other games. Most people do play the game they buy on steam. They mostly just quit a few hours in.
>>521545881girl bought that two weeks after release
>>521545485DOS2 did
>>521545985lol not even they had to make it and ship it to her
>>521545881Do women have the mental capacity to create tulpas or manifest voice from this doll like a true autist?
>>521546054Meh. DOS2 wasn't very fun at all. BG3 is literally Larian's only good game.
>>521546190sometimes if I need motivation to do laundry I imagine Astarion telling me to and it works

>>521548585One of my extra encounters mods adds a giant fucking ghast here and it's one of the gayest fights in the game.Especially when your scaling mod gives it like 3800hp.
I hate staffsI want to have cool rings insteadWhy do wizards have to have staffs
>>521548812I don't really like the "extra encounter mod", plus right there, there's that encounter with the Shadow Mastiff, isn't it? That's enough for me.
>hey there little boy do you want to see some magic? i have some in my van.

will bladesinger be fun and stylish? imo
>Having Tav+only 3 other companions greatly limits the "social experience" of having a party. Having a larger party, hearing them banter back and forth with each other, is very immersive
>>521531371>>521539765>>521540630cute frogs
>I installed mods to get to Lv20, have more spells than 5e and this also applies to enemies. The battles are enjoyable and fun, and the AI responds well.
>>521550647id do 3 companions again but i already did one and i dont feel like hearing the same banter again, nor do i want to put wyll or halsin in my party. i can almost tolerate gale and karlach though
...And RPGs, as we all know, are all about the "social experience" of assembling your 10-doll party and hearing them banter back and forth. Think about all the valuable wisdom the sex pest has to say about Astarion's trauma! It's enough to joke about.
>>521551620>>521549356Samefag

>>521541616based
>>521550505I really do think so!
>>521549356The mastiff is really trivial if you just focus fire and kill the alpha in one or two turns.

If Larian were to give us new endings or cutscenes for patch 8 we would already know, right?
>>521566164Yes
>>521566164We're cooked Wyllsister
>>521566812Any odds of we learning about Larian's next project then?
Doom is approaching
>>52156553012 CON sounds too low for a melee. Remember, there are early tools to boost STR and DEX, but not CON.
>>52156553016.10.14.8.10.16 is better.
>>521567849Only STR. DEX isn't boosted until you get to the mountain pass.
>>521522214>Hexblade Durge>Death Cleric/1 lvl Circle of Stars dip Shart>Swashbuckler Asterion>default wildheart barb KarlachYes/no?
>Adding death cleric>Only two death gods to choose(one is race locked)They could have at least added some non-Dead Three ones.

>>521569505>wuz that's canon bb
>>521569127Shar is also a death deity.
Patch 8 when?
>>521569790Yeah, but then that locks you into SharShart, so it's the same as the Death Three reducing people to specific runs. You could say "Then just ignore that" but if we're doing that, might as well ignore god choice all together.I know there's Velsharoon, idk if he's evil or not, and there's others.
>>521560992You need to complete the game in 3 days.
>>521571049You realize you can choose whatever deity with whatever domain in game right?
>8 strength>8 dexYep it's BG3 monk time
>>521572167Yes, which is why I addressed that in the post.If you're ignoring the rp, then why even play an RPG.
>>521522214Which barbarian subclass (or class in general I guess) fits Karlach the best?
>>521574593berserker
>>521545367>>521545367>Also, Act 1 then also goes on for some time with the Underdark, Grymforge and Mountain Pass.And here you come to the bottom of the problem with that game - the act 1 is just unimaginable stretched beyond any reason. The plot doesn't even really start there yet there's such a shitload of unnecessary locations and bloat quests they've wasted time on, that they haven't finished other 2 acts. Grymforge simply should not have existed - it's an empty location that effectively houses the fetch side quest for Nere's head for the mushrooms, Grym with his forge which carry no plot significance at all and a completely unnecessary optional passage to the next map. That location should never have existed, gnomes and Nere should have been in the underdark, which itself should have been twice as small, the section with the spider Matriarch also should have not been made, the spider moved to the rest of the underdark, the talking mushrooms, the retarded wife beater gnome and his bitch wife, the wizzard tower should have all been cut: all shit useless inconsequential non-quests in empty barren locations fueled by pixelhunt, which they have been making when they should have ended the act already and get to the next stage to make restored version of act 2 and the upper city in act 3.Bloated act 1 with the rest of the game being barren has been the problem with every Larian up until DOS2, where they actually managed to balance the acts perfectly, so you'd think they would keep it up at least when they got to making a game in a DnD universe, seeing how they wanted it for some time, yet instead they went and shat themselves again, relapsing to Ego Draconis era state of design.
>>521573541>rpIf it's all headcanon and not reinforced mechanically, it doesn't matter what you call it.
>>521578045It's the lore of the world and if it's not followed, you might as well not be playing the game.I'm fine to break it when I'm playing modding and changing the game to be more gameplay oriented. But for a pure run, I'm following it.
>>521574593None perfectly. Berserker is closer than the others I guess.
The wait is getting kinda ridiculous. Its obvious its the crossplay holding back the patch. Why not just split the patch into two? One where new classes are released and then the crossplay nobody wanted in a year or so?

What class does everyone wanna play the most?For me I think its gotta be the astral druid. Second would be the death cleric
>>521598159shart's theme
>>521598009Tbh I'd nut hard if they did something similar to a 40k setting. The Rogue Trader game from Owlcat was nice, but with the gap in quality between Owlcat's Pathfinder:WotR and BG3 I'd be hyped as fuck
>>521596993FromSoftware
>>521598920It's kind of crazy that after all these dark fantasy games, FS didn't add elves to a single one of them
>>521598751Hexblade my nigga. Swashbuckler also seems neat as far as rogues go. Never been a fan of druids, but dipping into the stars subclass could be interesting with something like a Cleric.>2 CoS druid/Death cleric >shitting out dual target necromancy spells and a bonus action ranged spell or melee attack per turn
>>521571693not rlly but dw i will anyway
>>521598751Open Hand Tavern Brawler Monk
>>521599052Elves have seen so much exposure by now, that if you want to be original you are better off not including them at all at this point.They also didn't have much of a place in the dark souls series because of how the lore works. Bloodborne was too thematically different and elden ring having George involved probably prevented any chance of that happening as well. So it may have been mostly luck so far
it is our civic duty to respond to each larian post about a update with “where tf the wyll content at”
>>521600239I might consider that if Wyll content is actually Mizora.

>>521556001Yes since I wanted to get the most content and see all the different storylines.I have to admit I was expecting the game to have some shanenigan style Personas when romance multiple personas, but never mind, that's more of an anime trope really.Drow are promiscuous, after all.PATCH SOON YEEEEE
>>521614006Based, here's hoping space rpg will be just as comfy
>>521608137this is hella gay
swashbuckler doesnt have extra attack? seems kinda shit desu
>>521614810It can use vicious mockery as bonus action that's pretty good early game
>>521614810Just like every rogue subclass.At least Flick o' the Wrist does compensate for this a bit.
>>521550843You know what really annoys me. How the game is capped at level 12 when there's more than enough experience points to get to level 16-17.
>>521614810Always online free disengage + always online boosted bonus action attacks gives it more closer to extra attack then any of the other rogues.
rest in peace helia you were too based for bg3

>>521537663>picrelgiwtwm
If giant barbarian could apply all weapon on hit effect statuses by throwing them, it would be the most fun martial by far, literally some pseudo Gilgamesh with an infinite library of unique weapon effects. Do you think some mod will fix it?
Okay sureWyll's dementia spread to the player party too now
Are they adding new gear with patch 8 or is it just subclasses?
>>521630415I don't recall that the previous patches did add any gear, nor did they announce any addition but who knows.
>>521631715Well that sucks. The new classes aren't that exciting without new gear. Martials best item will still be the bhaalist armour.
>>521631952>Martials best item will still be the bhaalist armour.To be fair, it's difficult to beat something that doubles your melee damage if you're using a piercing weapon.
>>521632307Yeah but it would be nice to have a slashing and bludgeoning equivalent. Running the executioner and acid ring along with kagha's amulet gets boring. I guess I'll wait and see to whether it's worth playing or not.
>>521615880Play without the level cap then. Install a double XP mod, reach level 20, which is demigod-tier - but that's not relevant if any sense of scale in the narrative is discarded. 9th-level spells like Wish can be cast at level 17, but again, that's not relevant. You may not be able to outlevel your tadpole problem, but who cares. As long as numbers get bigger and you get more powerful. Maybe you're a group of four demigods saving one little city. Maybe it's a group of 10. Showing off your party of slopped-up dolls is more important than giving a shit about the narrative. That's what the swine considers to be a good experience.

>>521637870>reach level 20, which is demigod-tier - but that's not relevant if any sense of scale in the narrative is discardedIn a game where you kill the avatar of a god halfway through the game and then fight and defeat a monster empowered by ancient magic that hasn't been seen for millennia. Going above level 12 sure destroys the sense of scale.
>>521615880There are mods to uncap the XP. Personally i like the multiclass version.
mmm goodberry
>>521649208describe the taste
Which is better? Karlach or the robe?
Was Jon Irenicus really that big of threat to warrant being level 20 (or what was the edition equivalent at the time) compared to fighting an Elder Brain?
What subclas will anon play
Why the fuck does every Gith in the game have ready to parry but not Lazy?Would it kill that fagot Vincke if one of your companions could conditionally shave off 10 damage a turn from physical source in a game where every other attack is a 20-50 magical nuke?
>>521651506Torn between a giant barbarian because he's fun for dialogues, bladesinger and hexbladeDo warlocks even get any fun special dialogues?

>>521651506Probably Arcane Archer.Was a bit disappointed that Ranger has basically no unique Ranged attacks (that are also decent), so Arcane Archer fills that niche.Also i kinda like playing a Dex Class in BG3 because i like balanced comps and without Astarion, there's no dex companions.

>>521653497What feats do you end up taking?>>521654932Just reading over the abilities I don't see anything that's super exciting or a reason to go it over any gish.
>>521655516Honestly, just ASI twice and maybe Alert. Bladesinging is like a free Resilient (CON).
>>521655516>Just reading over the abilities I don't see anything that's super exciting or a reason to go it over any gish.You're a full caster wizard with a powerful defensive buff and advantage on CON saves who gets two attacks per turn. This means you get all the wizard's utility while being a competent fighter who is nearly impossible to hit or drop concentration (which makes you a good haste user). Thanks to Arcane Acuity, you can also seamlessly switch between melee and casting, exactly as your class wants. Bladesinger is easily swords bard tier. It's like playing Pontiff Sillyman or Rellana in a CRPG.
Why do so many people talk about accidentally romancing Gale in the Weave sceneYou literally havr to actively choose an option where you fantasize about kissing him
>>521655185>Ensnaring strike is one of the best abilities in the gameAlso has a Saving Throw involved and Ranger is extremely starved on spellslots.
Is Friends basically impossible to use on honor?
>>521656505You can use it fine, the description id really unclear, in my experience how it works is if they can still see you when it wears off, that's when they accuse youSo I only use friends if I know that I can walk away and do something else before returning
>>521656739So they just sperg out and then calm down?
>>521656941They dont freak out in the first place is what i meanI think thw idea is that if they're still with you, they realize/feel the friends thing wear off, and then realize what you did, but like if you leave then friends wears off while they're not thinking about you because you're not around, they don't realize that it was cast
>>521657262Oh, i see. Sounds very easy to use then, thanks anon.

>>521658017just fujos
>>521658428Bard has proficiency in everything including stealth and pickpocketing
>>521656176Maybe I'm underestimating the class but if I want to do shit tonnes of spell damage I could just play a tempest sorc and if I wanted to play a melee spellcaster I would be better off going bardadin or pallock.
>>521658428lae'zel with gloves of dex + astral
>me sorlock, shart light domain, gale missiles>tacticianWhat ranged build should I use for lae'zel? Melee is kind frustrating in some fights.
>>521659123But the point is to be both at once, and with sick ass animations too. You cast from a tip of your sword for example.
>>521659612Arcane Archer fits her thematically very well.
>>521651506Death Domain, Star Druid, Hexlade and Bladesinger are the New Big Thing™ for me.>>521659868>>521659612I will always suggest to make her a EK, use some ranged spells and then do big frog leaps to slice and dice 'em up. Arcane Archer sounds meh.
>>521659651>sick ass animations tooDoes it get unique animations? Can I cast a spell after doing an attack? As it stands it seems like a jack of all trades where I would be better off specialising.
>>521652896Bladesinger 6/Thief 4/Fighter 2 is a possible loadout.DEX 17 (auntie hair and one ASI is quite efficient)CON 14INT 16Take savage attacker or dual wielder for the second feat. You can dual weld while running Bladesong. Dual scimitars would be a nice option with two thorn blades while concentrating. I like the idea of putting it in robes and running mage armor. Maybe moon devotion robes for advantage or the vest>>521655956It seems to stack with a proficiency bonus so perhaps resilient would be a decent feat for a bladesinger as well.
>>521653862This is a strange post to cross-reply to a day later. One might be inclined to believe I'm replying to myself.Fictional characters are not real people. That doesn't mean they can't feel real, sometimes even more real than the so-called real people of the real world. We care about fiction to the extent we care about groups, entities, characters. This is obviously truer in a narrative-driven, character-driven RPG. We go on 4chan to discuss and share opinions about characters long after the game is over, presumably because we care. There's nothing intelligent or cool about feigning detachment toward the game and its characters because they're "not real." The average anon cares about characters - the slopswine cares about slop, and how it can leverage that for attention.>>521654209Joking about sexual abuse is worthless pig fuck behavior.

>>521660721For what it's worth I'm sorry your mom sodomized you with a tire iron when you were a kid
>>521648862The Apostle of Myrkul is like a lesser avatar. Defeating it with four level 9s and the help of Aylin isn't that much of a stretch. The Slayer is also a lesser avatar of Bhaal, but that doesn't mean it's an apocalyptic entity by itself. You get a lot of help for the Netherbrain. So yes, there is a consistent sense of scale that would be upended if you casually commanded a small army of level 17+ - again, that's the level where any semblance of "balance" is thrown out of the window because spellcasters get 9th-level spells, including Wish and Time Stop.
>>521660721Kill yourself
>>521660687You lose out on higher tier spell slots for basically a worse version of swords bard though it's not a completely awful idea. How would you go about making a hexadin or using the new beekeeper ranger?

Shadow Blade already bends the game ass backwards and Bladesinger is one of the best classes for it.

It's a classic trick that has been used in crpgs for as long as there have been crpgs. >WishSomething that can be limited and balanced much like it was in BG2.

>>521662278>It doesn't call him "lesser avatar of Myrkul" it calls him "avatar of Myrkul."No avatar wants to be called a lesser avatar - it's quite diminishing. That doesn't change the fact that there are degrees. You don't literally kick Myrkul's bony ass at level 10 - you defeat a transformed Ketheric. Since you bring up BG2, Bhaal had multiple avatars portrayed in the game, the Slayer, and a stronger version, the Ravager. Defeating the (lesser) avatar of a god is no small feat, but context matters.>There's a little trick called making enemies stronger in order to compensate for player characters being stronger.Sure. That's the job of the devs, but here they wisely opted for a slightly less epic scale because 5E doesn't handle high levels well. That's what the narrative entails and was written around. A game where you can reach level 20 and start shifting planes and threatening god-like entities would be another story.>Limited WishSo why have that in the game in the first place? Why dangle the promise of epic-level, reality warping spells only to neuter them? How about a Time Stop that doesn't stop time?
>>521661869>higher tier spell slotsBladesinger is something you go for if you want to melee and really focus on running the utility spells that help it melee. Other than a few great controlling spells that run on concentration, I don't see much to be lost for that. After all, if I wanted a dedicated blaster or control, I would be better off taking a different subclass as they get abilities that enhance those better than bladesinger will. Besides, you can always run a cleric or bard for those control spells.>hexadinThe standard 5 warlock/7 paladin>beekeeper rangerNot even playing it.

The game explicitly tells you its an avatar of Myrkul with no other adjectives in its name. >(lesser) avatar This is your headcanon.>5E doesn't handle high levels well.5E is fine for high levels. The problems tend to arise either on the end of module makers or DMs. >A game where you can reach level 20 and start shifting planes and threatening god-like entities would be another story.> threatening god-like entities would be another story.Oh you mean god-like entities such as that netherbrain and those mindflayers who shift planes to bombard you during that fight? BG3 defeats your argument. >So why have that in the game in the first place? Why dangle the promise of epic-level, reality warping spells only to neuter them? How about a Time Stop that doesn't stop time?First, you can get some extra effects from wish and a set of options for a high level character. Second, you do not have a dungeon master. You can only do things you can code or have the time to code. By definition this must be limited. Third, even the rules for wish greatly limit what can be done, the DM especially can currate or even nerf your wish.
>>521665627What exactly about Astarion is feminine?
>>521665413>1 level dip to get the CHA conversion5 level warlock is for the pact of blades extra attack to get that third attack when you also have the paladin's extra attack.

That's it.https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Apostle_of_MyrkulOnly the dream guardian refers to it as an avatar. So we're really just trading headcanons at this point, but unlike the dream guardian, I have the advantage of existing outside of the game and having a wiki to refer to. So my headcanon is that it's a lesser avatar, and it simply makes sense that Myrkul would not manifest himself at full power through Ketheric.>Oh you mean god-like entities such as that netherbrainYou get a lot of help for the Netherbrain. I already said that. Narratively, at least. It's also not a god-like entity. BG3 will never be remembered as that one game where you defeat a pseudo-god at the end. It is not the epic power fantasy that BG2 or WotR are.>You can only do things you can code or have the time to code. By definition this must be limited. >You don't have a DM to narratively decide what's possiblePrecisely why implementing 9th-level spells would be a fool's task. They are either unnecessarily nerfed, thus unsatisfying, or game-breaking. You can see the same principle demonstrated with how they implemented Divine Intervention.

>>521673916Well he's ugly
>>521673916The only reason you like this stupid character is because you find her face attractive. Given how ugly she is, what can I say but you’re welcome please kill yourself?
>>521673120The author referred to it as a bad ending. It's for people with a certain esoteric fetish. He is happier in his spawn ending, and so are most people around him, and so is Tav. Ascending him is some weird miseryporn thing.I've said it many times, but the people who actually love him and want what's best for him keep him from ascending. He literally explicitly thanks you for keeping him sane when he was blinded by the temptation of power, and understands that he would have crossed a threshold that would have changed him for the worse.Ascendstarion is one giant gigacope about how everything is worse and everyone is miserable including himself and his soul is damned, but he just clutches his power and his shallow hedonistic pleasures and says he's happy.The game makes it very clear that it's a damned existence through Cazador and Cazador's master both saying it sucks, and you+Astarion saying "Nah, I'd win. It would be different for me" is failing to learn from the mistakes of others.Astarion is by the most complicated character, and the number of people on the internet who honestly argue that Ascend is better proves that his story requires a certain literary literacy that some portion of people don't have. The people who know it's worse and are just doing it for fetish reasons are usually fine, it's the people who honestly don't understand the message and argue that *he's* happier are the ones that failed the literacy test.bg3 is a great game.

>>521673120I see it differently. He won’t turn you because he wants to have control over you. This way, he can trust you completely and you’ll never leave him.I don’t think it’s about creating a rival. He’d still be stronger than Tav even if he turned her her into a true vampire.

does anyone remember when a fan gave shadowheart's voice actress a used vibratori still remember
>>521698781Yes she is
>>521702382The short version is that he took it personally when nobody added him on Steam. This poster: >>521702758 is trans(unironically) AND wrong. He was bullied and widely disliked because he was negative and unlikable. Why would anyone want to spend 70-100+ hours in a game with someone nobody likes? There was also another poster that screenblogged around the same time and I wonder if maybe he wanted to play with them and was upset that they ignored him
the dilemma of playing vanilla after the patch drops or waiting for mod updates (will take weeks or even months)
>>521704713I'd play with her, but I'm too autismal to be comfortable around new people in a more intimate setting.

>>521706740NTA, but is honor mode actually fun or worthwhile? Normally I just play Tactician+ with the honor mode combat tweaks.
>>521707034It's decently fun, just cause of the stakes. No reloading, just stuck with what you get.Interesting to do at least once imo. Outside of legendary reactions, it's just tactician gameplay-wise.

so why are you level 3
brian worm eat levels
character level is one of many mechanical parts of the game and has no implications on roleplay and story telling parttechnically spell slots do not exist either and nothing stops gale from spamming fireballs narrative-wise
>>521661554>9th-level spells, including Wish and Time StopOh my God then just dont include them, such a stupid excuse.

Why do cyberpunk and elden ring get a definitive edition and not bg3?
>>521738132Larian never wants to work with wotc again and wotc is imploding.
>>521738562Good
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/p9fEWJxKpAs
>>521737943Mechanical parts (also known as rules) absolutely do play a part in roleplay and storytelling. Without rules to govern what is possible and what isn't, what do you have left? Freeform improvisation - or more colloquially, making shit up. A powerful Wizard might be arbitrarily level 12 or 16, but they reach another tier at 17. They become a problem. "Level 17+" is shorthand for whether they can cast Meteor Swarm and ruin your kingdom from a mile away.Stats and skills reflect how proficient a character is at something, and it could be argued they are the foundation of roleplaying. A 20 CHA Bard with Expertise in Persuasion has a good chance of cruising through most dialogue checks, while your 8 CHA Monk is probably going to fail. It's not up to how much you want it, or how charismatic you believe your character should be. Gale cannot spam Fireballs because he would narratively run out of juice, as all Wizards do.
>>521735490so soulless. Why not just play the game on easy mode at that point?
>>521739760M-mere peasant! You cannot defeat me! I am half-way through the karma severing realm!
>>521734034It depends on whether you consider elixirs to be cheesy. If not, there aren't any vendor tricks needed to stock up on enough to last you through an act. But we all understand TB OH Monk to be the cheesy "I win" class.
>>521739760It doesn't actually in the lore, it's just a gameplay way to measure the growth of a character's power.Lore-wise, Gale can't spam fireballs, because DnD is actually more closely represented by a mana system, like WoW, than spellslots. But people decided spellslots are better gameplay.Personally, I just think a fatigue should come in to play. Draining on the metaphysical self to surge power through it all day.

Will the new patch break my modded playthrough? I'm still at level 3, and I don't know if I should wait for the patch. This is my first playthrough btw.
>>521745626Actually I take it back. Make it a total seldarine party, with a morally grey tav death cleric, and replace the shadow sorceress with a blade singer cleric.
>>521746213Let's just say you picked the right image for this post.
You can feel the electricity in the air before the Patch release, I can't wait to try out photomode and the new classes. New screenshots, new mods, new adventures await us /bgg/!I can't wait to share them with you>>521745626>full drow partyHonestly? Based.>>521746213Most definitely, yes. Turn off auto updates on Steam if you want to continue your old run.
Are they not adding eldritch smite to the hexblade spell pool?
>>521744306the chance of new content other than subclasses is very small
>>521746213yesthe update will 100% break your mods
>>521522214Can't wait for the last patch to drop so I can sink 300 more hours into a new campaign, but actually beign able to finish this time since the game bugged out in the last battle and Wyll just fucking dissapeared.
It's going to be legendary
I really want to make a barbarian main character, but the barbarian skill set sounds so dreadfully boring i will probably abandon the run very fast
>>521748473It's one of the most customizable class in the game
>>521727719Larian couldn't stand that they made a white female companion and gave her a shit romance on purpose

Aside from titanstring arcane archer, what other of the new subclasses can have a build that comes online in act 1?
>>521751316Eldritch Knight isn't a new subclass but with the new booming blade I could see it becoming one of the strongest damage dealers. The main issue is that it deals thunder damage and there's not many ways of making enemies vulnerable.
It's 15 now.Where's my Patch 8? Are Larian just a bunch of niggers?
Wyll dances.
>>521650556why does she go along with it?
>>521752974She notices that we're transforming and wants us to die before we become ghaik. You promise to kill her and kill yourself afterwards. But the Emperor saves us and she dies in vain.
>>521747550>Wyll just fucking dissapearedBased
does patch 8 needed to be in a new game or can you continue with your current modded save?
is there anything close to TB OH Monk for single-target DPS? I just finished a playthrough with it and doing that much damage was absolutely hilarious.
>>521758409>Before patch 8Sorcadin, CoS Bard Assassin, Pure battlemaster, Titanbow Champion / EK. There's also a fire sorc build which deals thousands of damage per turn thanks to hold person and autocrits but you need to play a midget to avoid rolling 1s. >After patch 8There are some shadow blade builds that are gonna hit crazy numbers, melee EK will also be dealing shit tonnes of damage. Hexblade seems like it will be useless outside of a 1 level dip since Larian didn't port eldritch smite but maybe a multiclass and shadowblade could save it.
How many hours left?

>>521778119It's pure contrivance.Why in the world why the Emperor pick Durge as the prism holder? Character murders people at random and the Dream Guardian simply ignores that.Emperor has some insight into your personality, yet chooses the murderhobo with amnesia.

>>521779012Christianity is worthlessconvert to hinduism to prepare for the hindu century
No one appreciates a hero's journey anymore. They just whine and nitpick about how the average joe from some bumfuck village shouldn't save the world.
>>521778797ew ew die
>>521779331play wyll
>>521777794yes to both
>>521778181They get different powers if they break them, Paladins devote themselvesome to a specific set of ideals they have to keep to. Whether that's good or bad is dependent on character
ahh, the good old schizo hoursI can feel the electricity in the air, before the patch
>>521778920because Durge is a genius prodigy/sorcerer and the whole reason the Absolute even exists to begin with. Durge is a natural leader and extremely powerful>but murderhe considers it acceptable collateral and says as much. One or two allied deaths is regrettable, but worth it if the Absolute is destroyed in the end>>521779331Sorcerers > Wizards. Just like real life
>>521778641Yeah. Tools that would be unavailable to a martial in tabletop are present in BG3, which means martials become more versatile than just auto-attacking bots. Lae'zel can attack 5-6 times a turn AND cast Hold Person or any high-level spell from a scroll for good measure. Sarcasm won't change the facts.

>>521780597oh god in gonna ick everywhere
>>521780070dawgstarion...
>>521778920>>521779789Shart is the most logical one to keep the prism i m o. The Emperor would be able to deduce from her (few) memories that the Sharrans were obviously trying to fuck over Gortash and the Absolute. They knew exactly when to strike while the Emperor's team and the githyanki were occupied with fighting each other.Since they have the same ultimate goal, he'd try to hitch a ride with her all the way to Baldur's Gate. Durge feels more like a wild card since he created the Absolute in the first place, making him a questionable ally if his memories were ever to be restored. Other than Shart, Gale or Wyll are good options for keeping the prism too
The two types of Astarion sisters:1. The one who wants to be his pet.2. The one who wants him to her pet.
