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: >>538948716

>Friendly mindflayer: i'll give you this ring thats been shielding me from the super brains if you give me something cool in exchange>Me: Here's what happened on the space ship>Friendly mindflayer: oh cool, here's the ringI hope I dont find this dude's corpse later, I'll feel bad
>>539235702Your job is to kill every illithid, not befriend them
we love you wyll ravengard

>>539235702Why do you care if a squid lives or dies?
Missionary with Astarion
Missionary with Halsin
>>539238398really? shadowheart?
>>539235702When I got that ring my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined. It was clearly meant to an impactful piece of a more advanced and an obviously cut Illithid power system. I avoided EA like the plague but I bet the current one is only the remainder of what they originally planned. The ring's concept itself suggests some "powerful abilities in exchange for a price" system where the ring's blocking ability is valuable even if you temporarily lose your Illithid powers while it's equipped.As we speak Big O's ring-story makes little sense and they didn't even bother to fix the dialogue - how the hell a ring that gives you Advantage on Charm saving throws shielded him from Elders? Even if the cut content made the ring's original purpose obsolete why couldn't we have gotten something more useful? I don't know, like +3 for Saving Throws against emotion-based conditions. Because the ring in it's current form is straight garbage while it's treated like some one-of-a-kind game-changer.
>>539240468>Advantage on Charm saving throws>I don't know, like +3 for Saving Throws against emotion-based conditions. This is essentially the same thing. Advantage works out to roughly +3.3 on a d20 roll. "Emotion-based" conditions are just different names for the charmed condition, and are grouped under the same umbrella term.https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Charmed_(Condition)Note that this DOES include a mind flayer's domination ability, so the ring retains some narrative significance, if not a particularly useful mechanical one.
>>539240718I’ve seen a lot of people with that hat early on Can you get it while keeping the idiot story teller guy alive?
>>539237398lots of place for kisses
>>539242361you actually find that hat on the beach where you land iirc
>>539242361>>539243846yeah it's generic so there's a few just laying around. the one i'm wearing in this pic doesn't do anything
chat is this true?

Why doesn't the realmrestored mod change Wyll?
>>539243510She chose the bear.
Would've preferred a story about Banespawn or even Myrkulspawn instead desu senpai
>>539245245His builds got me through honor mode so sure, i'll vouch for him despite never casting like half those spells.
game is pretty!

>>539246819How do Laezelfags cope that this is their writer
>>539247175Well for one they don't stalk writers on social media. Most people don't, really. Just 4chan.

>>539247175definitely not by making a really X mod huh
>>539254857>>539255003Do not respond to me with Mintharafagggots posts
the posts are not for your disingenuous ass its for the rest of the class so they can see your ass get perpetually BTFO
>>539255214are they wrong?
>>539255214maybe you should have installed the really mintharafag mod
so theatrical, I like this
>>539256031Hes fat and obsessed with Shadowbaby so duh
>>539255003>Lazy is one of the most monagamous characters in the gamelolwut
>>539257603aside from it being posted by the namefag, what's incorrect in the posts?
>>539258438anon thats in act 1 before committing to a relationshipwhile shart in act 3 in a committed relationship with you dreams about sex with halsin
>>539248641Well, you see anon, I'm very pathetic.
Do I have to be support as a Cleric? Can't I just be a holy nuke?
>>539259027war priest can be very offensive oriented
>>539258612i never mentioned shadowheart how on earth are gith culture of casual sex and laezel fucking around monagamous?
>>539259227seeing how you're just bringing up nonsensical stuff its only natural to do as romans do you know
>>539259348how is nonsensical? it's literally her in-game lines
oh we care about in game lines now huh
>>539259227easylae'zel only goes for one person at a time and if you reject her she goes for one other person at a time, and she rejects any suggestion of polyamory
Don't you schizos ever get tired of this routine?
>>539259027Late game you get a once-a-campaign ability to do a few things, one of which is 8d10 radiant damage, and you'll get Flame Strike or Destructive Wave (depending on the subclass) at level 9 which can do a grip. Mostly clerics are just >hey go stand over with the enemies and cast spirit guardians and stack the enemies with radiating orb. if someone gets downed cast healing word on them
>>539259027solely being supportive as cleric is a trap, you can get all the value of being a supportcuck by using mass healing word with bless and blade ward for a bonus action while you still use your action for casting useful things like guiding bolt and concentrate spirit guardians
>>539259027Every class kills people very well. Cleric has spells like Spirit Guardians, Flamestrike, and multiple of the large aoe damage+difficult terrain spells.The original concept art for a dnd cleric was a crusader with a mace. dnd cleric was never like white mage from FF or a healer from an mmo. It was always a martial defender of the faith, similar to a paladin in theme but more of a spellcaster while paladins are more of a martial.>>539259618At the start of the game Lazy doesn't know anything other than what she was taught, which is gith bootcamp culture. Gith warriors have casual sex with each other because they don't get pregnant through sex, and their lives are short and brutal so they have fun when they can.Lazy has this culture at the start of the game, and her actions will coinicde with it when she says she's turned on from you killing a few bosses and wants to bang you. If you turn her down, she just says "your loss" and finds someone else. This is all consistent with her taught culture, and her still being a teenager fresh from bootcamp.Into act 2 when you start to develop a real relationship, and Lazy defies her culture after discovering that she actually likes real feelings and caring for another person, she starts to describe you and your relationship together in poetic terms and changes her outlook to be about partnership. Part of her romance story arc is that she's unfamiliar with caring about another person in this manner. It's all plain as day when you actually play the game, but I am once again reminded that a lot of people here actually legitimate y don't play the game and haven't seen a lot of content. It's the same people who say Minthara has no content despite her having the same number of act 3 conversations and lines, and the people who act like they don't understand what object permanence is every time the shart brothel scene comes up.
>>539260507in act 3 she even declares she's probably the first gith to feel love
>Mintharafag shows up and mentions the brothel unprompted againhere we go
>>539246252Can't happen, Bane is volcel nad Myrkul is an incel
>>539260773He's autistic, easy to trigger or he's starting the "argument" himself
>>539260773>unprompted again>>539247175why lie
Goblins could be here, Inwe thought.
>>539262858>wife
>>539262858i really hope nobody is delusional enough to think that minthara would get anything but sarevok treatment if bg4 will ever be a thing
>>539260507I'm sure they're pretending in order to shitpost. nobody who played it or watched it is confused on frog's romance but if you pretend she's not monogamous you can start the topic of romances and monogamy for the millionth time. it's extra convincing if you post some early act 1 dialogue before her romance starts and pretend that's all you know. these people are genuinely mentally ill but I also feel sorry them because all of this is for attention from you
>>539262858Every time someone talks about how "cute" Manthara is it's this pic or with this same facial expression hiding her man features
>>539264643hes not gonna fuck you
what's the limit for discount prices?
Remember to not push Corsair Greymon into the water in the cutscene if you want to loot him
>>539264327Im hoping they just make her canonically dead but that works too. maybe the namefaggot will kill himself
>>539264643>no its shitposters>no its mad sharties>no its john corcoranit's literally just manthyfag. It's literally just manthyfag spamming shit with his name off and then arriving like a faggot librarian to answer his own shitposts. Always has been.
or its the same shitstirrers throwing rocks from their cuck chair

>>539265356The price floor is set at 100% of the item's base value. You can't repeatedly flip an item to rob a trader of all their gold - though if you're using a hireling for your dirty work (cheating), you might as well directly steal.
>Make perfect waifu in character creator>A million wrinkles and skin folds the moment there's any expression during dialogSigh
how would you rank the patch 8 classes?
I just realized clearing the Dock at Moonrise might be a good idea after all. Less guards should mean less resistance in the eventual assault Jaheira keeps talking about. All but one guard has a path that involves a secluded spot and Shoving/Throwing to the water would make short work of them. Those Plate Armor - if they indeed drop them on death - would bring in a nice sum but the fun factor is more important here. >>539267252Beware with the Age slider or whatever it's called. Things can get out of hand real fast. I hope you screencapped your waifu's settings in the character creator.
>>539268238What’s the easiest caster to play that can just pew pew and not worry about taking five turns and 20 consumables to setup something?
>>539267252Don't look at your cheeks when you smile
>>539266243>>539268238am i missing something obvious, or what makes knowledge domain so good?
why does he hit you with a mace
>>539268526You're lending credence to random tier lists that have no context or even relevance to BG3. Stop doing that.
>>539264649i think she's cute
>>539269301LOVIATAR DEMANDS IT however you can request a different weapon if you'd like.

>>539271275
>>539271275I want her
>>539267252Elves are perfect, should've went with one
>casts speak with dead on a mindflayeryou can do that?
>>539272734Looks like the boss
Astarion has cute feet
>>539270904toad started it
>>539273935toad made her steal the artifact?
>>539274184no, she promised to kill shadowheart come morning
>>539274307naturally, she stole from the gith
>>539274424it's not stealing if you take it from a thief
>>539274976the artifact wasn't stolen from anybody else
>>539234960So I reached act 3 and noticed that gale is getting a bit obsessed with that crown, especially after I got the book about it.Idk if I should let him do it or not. I don't care enough about his plot to think too much about it. All I know is that mystra is a retarded gorilla nigger that tells him to kill himself, is like the weakest god in this world, had to ascend herself from being human and yet doesn't want him to do the same. She also doesn't forgive him even though he only tried to do something good for her. Since it's my first playtrough, I play a good guy character
>>539275118non sequitur
>>539275441if you say so
is it true you shouldnt spec your companions away from their main class cause it messes up dialog?i mainly wanna turn karlache into soemthing range-y
>artifact has tirsu markings>same metullurgy as their armor>hurr durr shart is justifiedfucking retard
>>539275479you can check my post again if you're confused or uncertain. or is it unclear what a non sequitur is? shall i explain it?
>>539275567It's toadschizo, he's just looking for a reason to shart on Lae'zel.
>>539275558wyll has dialogue about using eldritch blasts and gale talks like a wizard regardless of what class he isi don't know about karlach specifically but nothing would be "broken"
funny frog
>laezael: help me i have a parasite>old frog rider: nah we cant cure this, just accept death>laezel: I SWEAR BLOOD VENGEANCE UPON YOU, I WILL PRESENT YOUR HEAD TO OUR QUEEN, YOU DISHONOR OUR FROG TRIBE OUR QUEEN OUR HONORWhats her problem?
I want to kneel behind Shadowheart, spread her cute butt open with my thumbs, and kiss her asshole. It's part of Tavana's canon journey.
"MINTHARAFAG could be here," the hater posted. "I've been in this general before. Any post could be MINTHARAFAG's." The AC felt good against their bare chest. "Put your name back on, MINTHARAFAG," they continued. Paramore - Decode reverberated their entire room, making it pulsate even as the $9 White Claw circulated through their veins and washed away their (merited) suspicion of samefagging on 4chan. "With a phone, you can even reply to your own shitposts," they said to themselves, out loud.
>>539276372mad because bad>>539267184so if the sell price and the buy price are the same, then this is the limit?
i'm not joking tho, it's all mintharafag and frogschizo, i'm the only sane one left here in this house of clowns
>>539276372githyanki protocols state that those infected will be cleaned by the zaithisk. in lae'zel's eyes Voss the old rider is not following protocols
>>539270904She was showing stench grinch how easy it would be. Remember that Shadowheart canonically mowed down a hundred better laezels just getting the artifact, laezel is going to fa and then she's going to fo. Sometimes they need a reminder. Lae'zel is really more on the gale/astarion level than the wyll/Karlach level in terms of skill, she's basically a gith hebe. She's never even been on her own before.
>>539276372she's like 80iq even less if you let her use the zaith'isk
>>539276854don't kid yourself you're just as schizo as the others otherwise you wouldn't be on this website
There's only one that matters, even after all this time.
>>539277126whoops forgot to attach pic
>>539276980oh i don't object to her doing it, it's perfectly logical to do, since agreeing to an "honor duel" would be stupidi object to her saying stupid shit like that as if she's on some moral high ground
yeah honor, monagamy, keeping promises isn't really a sharran thing
>>539277226she won, though. therefore she has the moral high ground.
>>539277346posted it again award >>539259475>>539277364i'm not sure i agree but i'm not sure i disagree either since they're both evil anywaythe line's still stupid
>>539268238wild magic sorcerer needs a tier of its own. its doo doo on purpose
any mod to make BG3s cutest girl romanceable?
>>539275118vlaakith stole orpheus and stuffed his bussy in a box

>>539277630we were robbed
>>539277630if you want to romance a halfling, you are a pedophile
>>539277630Sorta, I'm working on a mod where she gets romanced by Kagha and/or Mizora, but the player will be able to join in eventually. Possibly Sharheart too.
>>539277490wait did he really make 2 different video files just to spam holy kek
>just learned about Command: Drop>apparently could have gotten that inferno dude's sword on the Nautiloid>apparently could have gotten Voss's swordFUCKING CUNTS, WHY ISNT THIS IN THE "BEGINNER TUTORIAL" VIDEOS THATS EVERYWHERE ON YOUTUBE?
>>539277971Command: Drop is one of the least likely ways to get Voss' sword that earlybeast master ranger's bear has a disarm without a save, just needs to hit
>>539277490very poor attempt at discrediting something true, just because it was posted more than once doesn't make it less true
>>539278294what relevance does it have to a discussion revolving around an entirely different scene
>>539278489oh i'm agreeing with shart having no honour extrapolated to other aspects of life
>>539278578but what relevance do these other aspects have to the current discussion
that you shouldn't be surprised when she gives birth to a half bear because honor isn't a thing for sharrans
>>539278642>resorted to non-replies without answering the questionnot much different from a sharran yourself
>>539278621stop responding. frogfag is obsessed and posts literally 24/7 about shart
yeah i've got a stream of thought style of posting, gonna cry? it illustrates why the reallyshart mod is needed, change the nature of the character
im going to redo my entire party's skills now that im lvl 6are there some subclasses that are notable better than others?
Should Aylin and Isobel do adopt Yenna? What would that even be like? Exciting for her I bet. And it's not like she has a family anyways. They could teacher her the Selune worship.
is this the worst ability in the game
Karlach is the only actually good female romance. The other 3 female romance options are coomer bait written by fat balding men who are openly gooners, they are all shitty coomer bait. Karl was written by an actual woman and acts like an actual woman with a personality.
>>539279275is it good when she uses you as a hand puppet?
>>539278923>talks like a redditor>irrelevant for most of the game>fingers your assyeah I guess she does act like a woman
>>539279358There is nothing wrong with experimenting with your wife.
>>539279447there is when you didn't ask for it and have no option to avoid it
Why are faggots so afraid of a little asshole fingering from a post-op devil with finger nail claws and fire skin?
>>539279041Hexblade is strictly better than all the other warlock subclasses.Light with radiating orb items or Tempest and getting enemies wet is better than trickery cleric.Giant barb throwing returning pike (early game) or literally anything past level 6 is more or less better than other barbs, though wildheart can be built in interesting ways.
>>539278578Frog's writer disagrees
"ORIN could be here," Minthara thought. "I've never been in this neighborhood before. ORIN could be anywhere." The cool wind felt good against her drow chest. "I HATE ORIN," she thought. The Power (Choral Version) reverberated her entire being, making it pulsate even as the 9 gp Baldur's Grape circulated through her righteous veins and washed away her (merited) fear of murderous changelings. "Just give the word, and I will kill the clown," she said, matter-of-factly.
>out of game nonsense
Minthara died at the goblin camp
>>539279613minthara spikes your food and theres no way to avoid it but you love her

>>539279768When Minthara imitates Orin's speech it was genuinely funny. Not very many other jokes in the game are particularly funny. Many of the good ones are unintentional by the speaker, such as Karl asking if that's Gale's grandpa.
ew you summoned him
>>539280460Don't misgender her just because your waifu glark glark glarks on big and licks his giant, sweaty, smelly goodberries, sucking each with a loud wet *pop*

Worst fandom in gaming by far
>>539280328If you're going battlemaster you really ought to be taking precision attack and then probably trip attack and then disarming strike for maximum dopamine.Eldritch knight with booming blade and shield spell is good tooAA is fine too but likely not your first pick for party archer
>>539281078i'm sure mintharafag will correct us on the math but advantage from feint is far superior to 1d8 from precision
>>539280657He will NEVER be a ugly blonde woman
luv bg3luv larianbut most of allluv Minthy.Simple as.>>539280708yea
>>539281357Something to note is that precision applies to both melee & ranged but feinting is melee only.
>>539281949well yeah, why would you use lae'zel in ranged
>>539281898
whats the point of short restare there maps/sections where you cant go to camp and long rest?
>>539282848yes
>>539282848>whats the point of short restthey heal you and refresh your Once in A Short Rest skills
>>539281357No math necessary - simply take the average of the Superiority Die (4.5 for levels 3-9, 5.5 afterward) and refer to the wiki's Advantage table.https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Advantage#MathGiven a Superiority Die average of 4.5, Feinting Attack would be better than Precision Attack for the 35-65% chance-to-hit bracket. That being said, you don't have to choose between them. Precision Attack is a free action, and can be combined with Feinting Attack if need be. So you really want both.>>539281898I'm glad.
>>539281357i'm not that guy but couldn't you just run the numbers?d20 checks aren't exactly rocket science.here is an illustration comparing advantage to a flat +5 bonus. It's a worse than +5 on average, but better than +4. intuitively, advantage is strongest in the mid range. keep in mind this is vs a flat bonus. a +4.5 flat bonus is different from a +d8 even if the expected values (the average) are the same. in the mid range, think about it like this: >adv > +4.5 > +d8
>>539277630I'll work on it one day

What about karlach in particular sets the off?
i remember seeing a place with 3 giant ogres standing together in a house before i got the gameis that in act 1? i never saw them
>>539289650Yes it's in act one imt the goblin village, its how you get the int crown.
>>539289529The math (or lack thereof) may be useful to some. The world does not revolve around you, sweetheart.

durge canonically being a dragonborn is kinda awkward
In the secret ending with Withers/Jergal is he implying that the dead three were completely ignorant of the fact that mindflayers don't possess souls, and so this idea of plotting to turn everyone into one via the absolute was a total fuckup right from the start?
>>539290994he's called default durge not canon durge
you are walking around in the underdark when you see this.what level are you and how do you react?
>really durge mod
>>539291090he is canon because you find him in bhaal's temple when playing tav
>>539291020Yes, although it seems gods in general may just be ignorant about Mind flayers, they are technically alien even to them, they are from an entirely different plane of existence / universe / layer of reality.The key part btw which has been confirmed is that mind flayers actually DO possess souls, they just don't possess apostolic souls. Which makes them practically invisible to the divine entities of Toril and seemingly soulless, even if its not technically the truth. It definitely isn't outside the realm of possibility that the dead three were totally ignorant of this fact.The gods in dnd have done much stupider shit and are not omnipotent.
>i hate selune i hate selunites i hate the moon witch>meets actual selune cleric>drops spaghetti
I hope that swen will announce something during next game awards I'm tired of playing charisma classes and getting bored in act 3 I need something new I got BG3 fatigue

>>539292947no

just realized wyll is gone at the partydoes he leave on his own or something? will he be back? i wanted to see his scene with mizora since i usually kill him

how do we fix wyll
>beat frog captain ez>beat frog inquisitor ez>almost got wiped by the frog merchantthe merchants are too strong
>>539293852>>539297392I have. Zero downsides compared to doing the other way round. Nere's rescue timer only starts when you're near the rubble already. Hell, I've experienced every content the location has to offer besides the Forge itself by the time I approached the central room with the Sergent and I was able to save Nere without any issues.
>>539306238Nere's rescue timer only counts down if you click on the rubble and start hearing him. You can long rest all you want until you physically click on the rubble.
>>539306238Can I even go to Act 2? Or is that too much.
>wake up>see frog
>>539291020I think it's an oversight on Withers part because he ignores that turning everyone into Illithid was never the goal necessarily.They wanted to tadpole everyone to control them via the brain, but as the brain currently did not produce enough tadpoles to do that, they settled for tadpoling select individuals.Bane iirc argues that you win by burning the fields of your enemy, implying that the Dead Three would still be ahead if their followers remain "normal" whereas the followers of every other deity becomes Illithid.Either way, the Dead Three would come out ahead compared to other deities.
>>539306812Even better! Especially that interacting with the rubble is optional. I'm positive both that and the talking to the Sergent achieves the same: updates the quest to a point that starts the timer.>>539306993Dude, don't push it. Technically speaking it should be possible but why would you risk messing things up? It's clearly not the way the section is meant to be played. Just finish Act 1 properly and don't ever look back.
>level 6I'm beginning to get a bit of money. I should hire an alchemist. I've never done it before but I hear that having a transmutation wizard for crafting is pretty solid
>>539308365yes, it's amazing you can get like 2 potions every time you craft. of course we only really only care about bloodlust, vigilance, speed, hill giant (you can get these from ethel)...

>let me just react to your post with some slopNot an attention whore, by the way.
>>539293760Apostolic souls are typically souls of abberrations, they fit into no natural order or portfolio of any of the gods. Withers was literally wrong when he said they don't possess souls, but for him its really a distinction without a difference.Ol' ed himself confirmed all this. The gods of Toril don't "see them" so they simply assume they are soulless but it isn't technically the case.
>>539311038>just got to act 2>checked the goblin camp for the merchant that's always therecuriously enough i can't find him in my game. he's always been there before. I loaded an old save, his name is Glomp the looter.
wyllfags, are you able to reverse the whole wyll-turning-into-a-devil situation
>>539319643Wyll doesn't have fans
>>539319643No
does karlach have any quests? other than the paladins of tyr where you recruit her
>>539320961Fixing her engine which requires infernal iron and keeping Dammon alive up to act 2, taking her to kill Gortash. It's mostly about coming to terms with her death since her ultimate survival depends on the player going to hell with her or completing Wyll's quest in a certain way.
>>539310546Drow men are for bullying
>>539319259Thank you, I haven't heard about him before! It seems he's not a proper trader but a regular goblin with some extra +1 items to sell. Hence why he's not listed as such anywhere.>curiously enough i can't find him in my game. he's always been there before.I bet that's because you went back from Act 2 while "before" was between solving the situation and entering the SCL. Contrary what you posted at >>539310464 (and don't get me wrong, this is not criticism) the triggers for Glomp's appearance seems to be the conclusion of the Goblin questline plus maybe a Long Rest. In other word the celebration night. After that the camp is officially abandoned and the looter can come to pick up the leftovers.
rate my team (level 7, start of act 2)>galebladesinger>karlacharcane archer>lae'zelbear barbarian>shadowheartcleric (trickster)i made karlach an AA only because the randomizer dropped a pretty good item for AA (chance to regenerate arrow), and i run some items that light her on fire to add fire damage so her innate fire resist is good. nothing else too remarkable with the others.>>539322232>what you posted atthat wasn't me, so you imagined that.in the save i loaded, i was in moonrise tower and fast traveled back to the goblin camp to take that screenshot. so you imagined all that about the triggers too.personally, i don't feel good when someone imagines all sorts of things about me and about what i did.
>>539322623and following this up. i'm posting because i'm not sure what to do with the team. arcane archer is so much better than every non wizard on the team that it's kinda embarrassing. not only do you have crazy range with a longbow, but you do crazy damage with sharpshooter, you have a crazy hit chance, you get a shield, armor, fighter hp. you get action surge.meanwhile even with every single movement speed buff (elk, longstrider, elk, barb speed, items) lae'zel is out of range of enemies around half the time. and shart is >shart. she casts bless and tickles. having a bear barb felt critical in the early game but i think i might want to re-evaluate if it's still necessary.
>>539322623>(trickster)why
>>539324373she starts with trickery domain and i haven't respecc'd her.i thought about doing it, but didn't decide on one. i was waiting to see what loot i got as the randomizer went on to build around it. i've got good gear for her both for spell attack and for spell dc. but i don't have any healing gear.
>>539322623>bladesingergood when items funneled into it and fully buffed + elixirs, just keep in mind if it ever gets crit, its dead instantly. its a very feast or famine class/subclass, it'll either carry or get nuked.>arcane archerpretty good>bearbarianpretty good, surprisingly works well as a multi class for bladesinger. barbs really excel in early game, start to fall off later depending on your build or play style, gets outshined by fighter especially bm.>cleric (trickster)complete garbagecleric support isn't a necessity anywhere in the game, even on buffed modded honor mode, and many of its stronger domains require pretty specific gear to really shine. play what you want here, just drop trickery
Swen said WHAT
I feel so stressed out looking to do remaining activities before Mountain Pass and figuring out how to get into unexplored parts of the map without knowing if it’s actually an area or just inaccessible terrain Feels like trying to complete a checklist instead of going on an adventure
>>539328457>I feel so stressedhow so? Start by realizing this is not the game's fault but its the way your brain tries to achieve control over everything>remaining activitieshow far are you into act 1?
>>539322623>the dorky Gale is a Bladesinger>the wild Karlach is an Arcane Archer>the disciplined Lae'zel is a Barbarian>the ShadowheartWhat the FUCK are you doing?

>Slop & Hypocrisy>Technically, it would be impossible for Godey to have sexually abused Astarion, Godey being in fact a skeleton and lacking any necessary organs.
>>539328612I’ve found/cleared the forge, the arcane tower, the kidnapper hideout, the hag hideout, three different entries into the underdark, and obviously goblin/grove. Currently sitting at the little bridge that leads into mountain pass after beating the patrol There are still dark section of the map especially around the crash site and apparently other smaller section of the maps I’ve went by but didn’t go into or NPCs I remember seeing before in videos but not in my own gameplay Also wondering about things like Shart saying she prefers us to check out the underdark but I don’t even remember seeing any big reactions or dialog from her
>>539322623Bruh... you're way too sensitive about this. Why do you took something personally that clearly meant no harm? I even added that I didn't mean to criticize anybody, just point out that the trigger might be different. Even if that turned out to be not your post. Also if somebody's replying to my post asking for a particular screenshot with one I think it's only reasonable to assume that I came from the same person. >i was in moonrise tower and fast traveled back to the goblin camp I just did the same and there was no Glomp there. Your claim only proves that first crossing the boundaries of Act 2 doesn't automatically wipe the encounter out. Maybe because you met before him? Unless we actually inspect the code your guess is as good as mine. Again, thanks for the screenshot but it's unnecessary to overreact a such harmless situation.>>539328457>>539329949No need to overthink. Most time-sensitive things are so trivial you're unlikely to miss. Common sense, really. I looked up all for you and made a list below. The format is person/location name without spoiler, then the content with one.>Lae'zel: approach the Githyanki patrol with her in your party and talk to Voss>Karlach: kill the Paladins as part of her quest>Barcus Wroot: save him from the windmill in Blighted Village>Waukeen's Rest: quench the fire and save the trapped survivors during your first visit>Rescue the Druid Halsin: neglecting this means he dies in the cell>Save the Goblin Sazza: if you want save her before finishing the Goblin questline>Save the Refugees: complete it and take a long rest (celebration) and you'll be fineKeep in mind this all has to be interpreted as "if you enter the Rosymorn Monastery Trail for the 1st time, these persons/locations will be affected negatively if you didn't complete their content already".
>>539329949the "big reveal" for Shart is findind Grymforge and the Sharran strongholdthe game tells you via Halsin that Mountain pass/underdark are mutually exclusive, so new players might think that's actually the truth when in fact, no: you should go visit both of them, there's still a good part of the mountain pass for you to explore, and dont feel rushed: we all lost lots of contents, like you said it's not a checklist and you can always come back for a new game in the futurelike the shadow druids subplot
>>539330330>SazzaWho
>>539328457>Feels like trying to complete a checklistHave you tried... roleplaying?>Roleplaying is not something as demanding as going on stage and playing an actor, it should be more natural, even if in such a large game, FOMO is around the corner.Words of porcine wisdom.

is it worth having the fight at the grove? does it give more experience than killing everybody at the goblin camp?
>>539345474but 90% of RPGs are fantasies...
>>539345872I counted 580 xp from the grove defense (includes the find Doni quest that doesn't appear otherwise), haven't counted how much would be beating Minthara and the few gobbos she takes with her in the camp + turning in the quest but might not be that much.
>>539345872nope
If you want to recruit Minthara knocking her out in the goblin camp is safer than doing it during the grove defense, she's at the risk of getting shot by a NPC or dying to a damage over time effect at the grove.
