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: >>539234960
QuestionWhy do I have an dialog option to Halsin about "sorry if I came on too strong at the party"? I barely talked to the fucking dude
Missionary with Astarion
>>539476607Astarion is pansexual (whatever that means) but prefers gay sex.He will not be doing missionary with you.
>>539476140cute frog
best character in all rpgs
I won't post that missionary with Astarion animation that a sister datamined. Because I don't have it saved. But it exists.
>>539477939the full version of this pic makes me wild
>>539478183hehe
teaching kid Shadowbaby how to do math equations
>>539476140I just noticed the placement of the symbol makes it look like as if the Absolute was motorboating his female Zealots.>>539476232I wondered about this myself. I'm pretty sure I picked the "Take your own advice, why don't you? Go on - mingle a little." line at the party. Then I did a second round with everybody for their new one-liners but that's it. It's probably leftover stuff.
>>539477740Funny
>>539479358Can he cum though
do i make minthara a paladin or something else? im thinking eldritch knight with the dc helm and freeze ground.
i wanna make karlache a monk....i dont like barb....
>>539480716Yes :)
Say something nice about my wife
>>539474548karlach origin shadowheart romancei think this part is the same for all shadowheart routes
>>539482215go Giant with Tavern Brawler its amazing
>>539483950i dont like throwing stufflooks weird
>>539483879wait, i can't read evil shadowheart dialogue follows a different path, so this is only for good shadowheart including her backpedaling at the last moment and saving parents
I played through the first act forever ago but never progressed any further because a lot of content was still missing. Thinking about coming back to it and playing as your average murder hobo. How much does Dark Urge give you new options vs just railroading you into killing things you might not want to yet?
>>539482215SOUL COINS DOUBLEDIP WITH UNARMED, BISH
>>539484865>How much does Dark Urge give you new optionsa lot> just railroading you into killing thingsdefine railroading
>>539485008Like it forces you to just kill someone during a conversation or makes you roll just because instead of letting you decide who/when you kill
>>539476232>>539479728It's there no matter what, doesn't matter if you take a flirt or not.I recommend the mod that tells you what dialogue options have flirt/romance triggers. Just asking how he's faring at camp leads to 3 romance triggers and 0 non-romance trigger options.Essentially, Corcoran is a rapist wanting to force himself on every player.
>>539484865Just so you know, resisting the Urge is the favored narrative over embracing it. You can certainly play a murderhobo, but that's a little dull, with or without the Dark Urge flair.
>>539485161you're asking two very separate things
>>539486371Forcing a roll is the same as forcing a decision
>>539483950>>539484036Too bad as Thrower Karlach is very fun even without going Giant. You bound to run into "Path Interrupted" situations but they're mostly solvable. The fit with TB would make it worth even if it was half as broken as it currently is. Personally I don't use any STR elixirs but the option is there. >>539485882>Just asking how he's faring at camp leads to 3 romance triggers and 0 non-romance trigger options.You know what? This makes a lot of sense. When I redirected Z'rells' probing to my romance life I expected a "Balthazar's walking corpse" line as I rejected everybody left and right, then to my biggest surprise she hit me with the "I see you've been rejected" one. This must be the reason!
>>539486454you are never forced in a conversation to kill
>>539489178When a bard sings something so SWEET you gotta hit 'em with the Durge stare
What are the advantages of playing as one of the origin (female) characters Or rather, how different is it compared to a Tav run
>>539490446You get more unique content and interactions
>>539485882Ok nametranny
yikes
>>539491114I am not Koob.I have no name, I just post shitty screenshots sometimes and talk to whiner and swine.
looks aside, who has the best romance arc?
>>539492768You got called the namefag for being wholly correct. Take it as a compliment. Merely selecting an innocuous dialogue option when talking to the sex pest during the tiefling party is enough to be flagged as flirting. The sex pest gains more than 50 approval points if you just have it in the party while you convince Oliver to reunite with his other half. The entire "character," if it can even be called that, is written to quickly latch onto the player character, and to be liked by pretty much every companion not named Minthara.

I wanted to be edgy and kill Halsin but now I realize I missed out on thousands of exp.
>>539498014beautiful frog
>>539498014>>539499385I don't like that gith nails grow like claws, but clearly seem to be just nails.If you try to use nails like claws, you're gonna have a terrible and gross time.
>>539498645Where the Lava Elemental is? Kill it first. He's responsible for those bursting lava bubbles that hampers navigation there. Once those are gone it's just standard running and jumping. I started sniping him from the platform above for the lulz and it turned out you could actually kill him from there. The staff that could be combined from the 3 pieces you gather from the Drow who were racing to find the Forge was especially useful.
>>539498645
>at the end of act 2>astarion is neutralhow high does astarion's approval need to be, to keep him from leaving the party in act 3?
>>539498014high quality frog
>>539500248during the ritual? just pass the persuasion check or if you don't want to do that kill one of the spawn in the fight or ascend him
Between Gale, Astarion and Durge, who is Shadowheart's canon romance?

goddamn, shadowheart you can't just write shit like that
Would Astarion be more popular if Cazador was a girl?
>>539506758femstarion would definitely get the "i can save her" crowd
>>539501743Of those, Durge? Lae'zel or Karlach seem more likely than all of those though
>>539506758No what is this logic I don't most players even met Cazador
>get all the evidence against Kagha>sorry amigo, you cant confront her anymore since the grove is already saved and the goblins vanquished............
>>539507137she did the right thing
>>539507137well yeah cause she did nothing wrong

I find it odd that Shadowheart decided that we should lose our virginities in such a public place like a beach, i wish we had done it in a more private location like in a hotel
>>539508768frog is the only one who can make shart stammer and its cute
>See my actions, Lady Shar. Hear my words of faith. Blessed Nightsinger, witness my adoration.Get you a girl that loves you as much as Shadowheart loves Shar
>>539513612cute and articulate frog!
>>539509040i figured it out. you pick it up with someone that has high strength. it gives you 2 tadpoles. then you can use it like a very heavy acid grenade.
>>539515150>Get you a girl that loves you as much as Shadowheart loves Sharno girl will ever love me im still a virgin at 27 yo and i dont think that is changing anytime soon
Who was the "handpicked captain" Gortash sent for the artefact raid?
It was a dropped plot line, but the emperor. The Sharrans were supposed to be tadpoled, hence Viconia being so out of character. They rewrote the game so late that it's all using set pieces from a different story just remixed together. Shadowheart's parents were never there, she was never a Selunite, the nightsong was never Aylin, Halsin murdered Isobel with that cursed spear, etc.
>>539519312What made them change things around
>>539511826I like how they put it in a locked box so most players hear neil choke on spit
Listening to reddit feedback, one of the worst things you can do. They totally rewrote Wyll and adjusted all companions to be unnaturally friendly to you right away.
>>539519312Shart was always a former Selunite, her kidnapped parents were always a major plot point for her quest, and I've never heard anything about the Sharrans being tadpoled
>>539519942This mod is transphobic.
>>539519942lesbians better than that slop
The coming crackdown on furry culture is going to have some interesting implications for this "game" and its bear fucker fans. Interesting days ahead, stay tuned.

>>539520853>imblying most of us don't kill halsin every save>"f.... f-furry >.<"lol
>mfw i'm actually running out of supplies for long restsi haven't been long resting much either. i think this is the last long rest of the chapter, so i need to decide if i want volo's eye or not. i think i won't take it this time. kinda excited since i've never been into act 3 before. since i have the time now to play the game to completion, i'm looking forward to it. I hope I can finish before monday.>>539520320honestly i'm not a fan of some of the conversions they make. But there's a lot of customization options and i just picked the default ones. but i was surprised by how good the voice conversion here was. i wouldn't have known Aelen was originally a lesbian if it hadn't been so controversial before. it was positively seamless.
>>539521773yeah that shit was really well-done. a bigass male pally made more sense anyway
>>539520161Most certainly not, they have trans Aylin
>>539513556Play a female drow and bully him
>>539520853laezel's writer is a gay furry and everybody loves him
>>539524075one of the good ones
>>539522736stop deadnaming him
>>539524092yep. like that ff14 modder that made all those dank spell animation replacements

chat do i save her
>>539525743wyll dies if you don't and you might be able to hook up with her if you play your cards right
wait where are you goingi freed you, so reward me with sex
>>539525743You get an actually pretty good rapier if you save her and pass a check.But in general your first playthrough should be totally yours so you might get spoilers here. Go in blind, and if you don't like how something turns out, the game supports a second playthrough very well anyway with the alternate routes and whatnot.
>>539526262She does in act three
is this durge's writing?he's surprisingly well spoken

>>539528756you were supposed to be able to convince him to join you but they dropped the companion ketheric idea because they ran out of time
Any mod hairs similar to the one in the top middle?
I played this game a while back and found only 4 builds that I would consider good.>mage tankUses damage reduction to become invincible.>storm clericExtreme versatility by taking 1 level in wizard for the extra spells; also nukes wet targets.>thief monkJust punches a lot.>bard paladinLike a paladin, but with higher level smites and more of them.Overall the balance was kind of fucked. I couldn't find a single use for Warlock and it was never optimal to go single class.Have things improved since a year or so ago?

i can fix her
>minty tells me three times that she wants to fuck>finally agree>frog seething
>>539529287>it was never optimal to go single class.Some classes favor an investment of 11 levels. Fighters get a third attack, and Wizards unlock powerful 6th-level spells. The difference between a one-level dip and another feat is mostly fluff - it's something you pick to customize your character, not to meaningfully change their effectiveness.>I couldn't find a single use for WarlockWarlock has always been an effective class if you wanted to abuse EB + HoH. The new Hexblade subclass seems alright, at least on paper. It has a solid progression, access to some useful spells (including Banishing Smite), and one of the best Reactions at level 10. With the addition of Booming Blade in Patch 8, gish builds are in a very good spot.

>>539538284what have you done to her
>>539538098sussy
>>539538098it's honestly kinda cruel.when shart's genius romance strategy of "do literally nothing" didn't work, she became a seething femcel, mad at me and the frog. so as soon as she could, she fucked the fattest ugliest bastard she could find, as if to tell me personally that i'm even worse than haslin. tbf probably it wasn't about me and was just a woman moment, but that was my first thought.now she's gross and fucks bears. so even though frog broke up with me, and i'm single, i don't really want shadowheart. so if her plan was jealousy i don't really think it worked.

>>539476140Visiting Moonrise was an interesting and fruitful experience but I can't help but notice that:>most of the Harpers are LVL6 with Leather Armors and gimped abilities>the bulk of them either Rangers of Fighters, casters of any kind are rarity>most of the Moonrise guards are LVL8 with Plate Armors and Halberds >Paladins and Clerics are the norm, army is led by a Fiend Warlock>the only help you can get inside are four LVL4 Gnolls with 20-something HP each>you can tell Jaheira's Ice Storm and Panther antics will cause more trouble than helpI love fighting alongside friendly NPCs, keeping them alive and setting them up for success is always a refreshing break from the usual gameplay. But I can tell in advance the assault will be a pain in the ass.
>>539538098I think that's supposed to only show up for romanced DJ Shart after her act 3 romance scene but it shows up for everyone because of a bug
>>539552303You can have Jaheira join you for the assault. Apply Bless and Blade Ward with Mass Healing Word if you have the items for it. Z'rell is your priority - she's by far the most dangerous and if she gets one cast of Black Hole, Harpers are going to die.
>>539552303level six fighters and rangers are more than a match for level 8 paladins and clerics
beautiful elf
what the hell, shart has so much unique dialogue if you don't save her on the nautiloid, I think I had 3 or 4 drow options to choose when I talked with her
>>539557949Husband
Act 1 has so many fights I hate so fucking much
Am I crazy to feel that Gale has more sorcerer than wizard vibes?
>>539554208I'm not worrying about beating the enemy but keeping the Harpers and Jaheira alive. As much as possible at least. I've never done the assault before but I familiarized myself with the layout of Moonrise, so I have a plan already that involves some flanking and surprises from the back. Dedicating 3 companions to clearing Moonrise then another 3 to going after the General also sounds like a cool concept. Not due to efficiency or whatever, just to involve everybody and finally use some items you rarely (if ever) do during normal gameplay.>>539554814Our opinions are fundamentally different on the matter. Did you take it into account that we're talking about NCPs with generic gear and controlled by AI? Because the situation looks like this, and I only use a simple example:Branthos, the mastermind behind the Harper ambush has two Once per Short Rest abilities (Rush Attack, Pommel Strike) besides his Main Attack. That's his entire repertoire. No Disarming Attack due to a Larian fuck-up and most importantly a non-functioning Extra Attack either by an accidental or deliberate gimping. That's right, he only attacks once per round. This is a trait almost all Harpers share.Meanwhile any random Paladin in the Throne Room comes with Branding Smite, Cleave/ Lacerate/Rush Attack, two Lay on Hand healing, Thunderous Smite, an optional Abjure Enemy. That's on top of the usual Aura of Protection and Divine Health, not to mention the Great Weapon Fighting passive. And they obviously beat him at every single Saving Throw, sometimes by +6-7. And they have 60-plus % extra HP and +2AC. And they come with a Caustic Bulb while barely any Harper has any consumables. And there's 4 of them in the Throne Room alone, supported by 2 similarly equipped (Hunger of Hadar, Radiant spells) Clerics. And their Extra Attack actually works.

>>539563823The difference between a "wizard prodigy" and a "naturally talented sorcerer" in DnD has always been hard to write. Guess the difference is that Gale had to learn to read before he could cast his first fireball.

>>539566974I'm just spitballing here but perhaps some butthurt people reported the mod.The mod creator also took some odd liberties, such as the ability to punch Halsin in the face when he wants to barge into your relationship with Shart.I haven't used the mod, so who knows what's been added, although nothing i've seen is so beyond the pale that it warrants removal, then again, some poly people might take offense with the mod for obvious reasons.

>>539571564he could have easily deleted all the lines where halsin & shart flirt but decided to keep them and allow the player to beat halsin's ass that's psycho behavior, it's funny how some shadowheart fans are still pissed about that
>>539572134i don't think it's psycho behavior to beat up a guy who was trying to seduce your gf and doing it right in your face.i think that if you don't at least just punch him once he's definitely not gonna leave her alone.
He won
shar told her to do it
>>539572416ok mod author
flawless frog victory once again
>>539571361So should the whole Larian team be jailed for life because they added options to do horrible things to innocent people?
I still don't get why angry Sharties won't kill Halsin after the Shadowlands have been healed. Iamyourdad, nametranny, whoever else.... blah blah "s-she still dreamed", just take your angry out on Big H
Halsin? more like Gaysin
>>539572771thanks for the concession :)
>>539572416nigga he's not real
>and then I'll allow the player to call out halsin and have him pass a hard check and if he fails it he'll beat halsin's ass................................
They secretly fuck and nothing will change my mind. She puts an entire city at risk because of him.
>>539572754shar is against her followers having a libido unless they seduce targets funnily enough, john making them have diddy parties in act 3 when Viconia wasn't looking was definitely a weird addition
>>539573427Its called being besties
>>539573427Don't forget he killed a lot of people because of her.
>>539573427they're only friends
>>539573624>>539573702Sure, there's nothing sexual about an innocent muscular man and a 50-year-old woman (the horniest women) walking together.
Kith'rak! The sarth is bullying istiks again!
It's always about sex with these "people." They are incapable of conceptualizing caring for someone.
>>539574142You mean normal people? She cares more about him than her kids. Explain it.
>>539572134>he could have easily deleted all the lines where halsin & shart flirtTo be fair, i think the change where Shart shoots down Halsin flirt attempts are fine and makes sense within the context of what the mod tries to achieve.But physically assaulting Halsin over it on top of that, is silly.
>>539573885it doesn't have to be sexual
>Explain the concept of caring about a friend to meI won't. I can't. You are not equipped to have this conversation.
>>539574310I'm not the quoted, but aren't you guys quite hypocritical? If you saw a mature woman frequently walking with a tall, muscular guy, would you think they were just friends?
>>539573885Minsc is retarded for that
Minsc has 6 INT (as a NPC so that's his canon stat). That's the same as many animals so his ability to consent would be questionable.
Why do trannies love to infantilize Minsc? It's so annoying.
>>539573481some random larian employee wrote that no-masturbation-allowed book but theres nothing in forgotten realms lore that shows shar hates casual sex or masturbation. she's shown to be sensual and had sharess under her influence for a long time. the diddy parties are pretty on brand
>>539573624Besties of sweaty baby making sex!

>>539566974LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>539574135mmm crying makeup baretha
>>539567614The mod author listed Varg Vikerness as an inspiration for his "world views" too. The dude who's known as a neo-nazi. Why would you even put that on your profile or mod? What a fucking imbecile.
>>539576797You mean the retard who fucks with everyone in the camp except Wyll and Gale (because they denied the brainlet) and you can speedrun her "romance"?
>>539576993
>>539576962Yeah I read that, I was wondering why nobody cared>>539576993I need a pathetic male drow companion....
>>539577586more people would romance a dwarf than wyll
>>539575198>Minsc has 6 INT (as a NPC so that's his canon stat).Why would you go with 6 over 8? That's his INT in every Baldur's Gate game once he joins your party.
>>539577586I would romance Nettie or Hope or uhh
Kagha owes me sex.
>>539578306get in line, pal. she owes me sex first
i owe lae'zel sex
swen owes me an upper city
>>539577586Nobody romanced the various male dwarves we've had in games, but Harding was relatively popular in veilguard. Also that's not a good metric anyway. You can want a certain type of companion without wanting to romance them. Gimli is a beloved character because he's cool and funny, but not very many people want to have sex with him. That's fine. I want lots of Gimli's in videogames, and it's ok if they don't have romances (or they do have romances that not many people pick).
>>539578603just wait for BG4
>>539579114i'm not buying bg4 if swen doesn't direct it
i have likeno new camp dialog with characters with astarion, lazel, karlache, shadowheart etcthe ladies i understand, since i do talk to them. why do i have no options with astarion. is it because i almost never bring him anywhere and he's neutral? or is it because i let the bouty hunter go and now hes mador is it because im more or less at the end of act 1 and theres just nothing new
>>539579395took me a while to realize what I was looking at
What a nasty bitch!
>>539566974fuck yea, bring the outragewe need some streisand effect in this bitch
>>539579395kys!
>>539578306
>>539576993Wyll counts as human?
Oak Father preserve us all.
>>539578616>You can want a certain type of companion without wanting to romance them. You know very well this wasn't the approach Larian chose. So the question is whether you would have replaced any female romance with a non-romanceable midget? Would that have improved the game? We both know it wouldn't have.
The issue lies with women. Women don't play non-human races, or ugly characters and they definitely don't romance them. Thats why the male characters are all human. Men get freaky so we get Froggo and Quirkbeast.Only in Mass Effect where the human characters are dogshit do they accept it, like Garrus and Mordin(to a much lesser extent).
WyllIs everyone's favorite character
>>539582415>Women don't play non-human racesWhy are you retarded. Most women play as elves or even tieflings. Men want women like Shart, generic white human-ish women if anything.
midwits want generic humans
>>539582876>humans with cute head accessories Retard.
>>539582876The question was about who they'd romance. If there was a midge romance in BG3, it would be less popular with the ladies than sexing the Emperor.
>>539582876Elves are identical to humans except for the ears. Don't be silly.
>>539583320Hey! Some of them have green or gold skin.
>>539583432Even blue is possible
>>539583240>>539583320Those still aren't human.. Call Laezel and Karlach human by that logic.>>539583302Women like freakier things, you even listed Garrus, an alien, as a example. NWN1 had a tiefling guy in its expansion and he is still liked to this day.
>>539583549karlach is a heavily modified fantasy cyborg woman that looks nothing like other teiflings. lae'zel has extremely inhuman features (flat face, strange mono eyelids, scrunched up nose ect..)
>>539583805And guess what men still pick Shart
>>539584003She is only 10% more picked than karlach
90% of women picked astarion and thats the whole point.
>>539584562If that is true why isnt he one of the top 3 most romanced companions?
>>539584562Cause he's a sexy vampire but women are still more open to weirder options.
>>539584706Because only about 10% of the people who play bg3 are female.
>>539584812Yet its the 10% fault for no midget romance?
>>539584968Yes, its similar to the whole mastercard and steam situation. If they added in female short race romances there would be a very loud vocal minority complaining
It's not a gender issue. Both men and women love "freaky" stuff, and fantasy naturally encourages imagining beyond the mundane. But even the more exotic (Karlach, Minthara) and alien (Lae'zel) races must still be beautiful - midgets simply aren't, so they are never popular.
>>539585570you are triggered by the silliest things whiner
>>539585441Sure buddy. Don't look up what David Gaider said about a dwarf romance.
Would the sisters still love Astarion if he were a gnome? Come on now.
>>539585570ExactlyIt's so funny seeing chuds overreacting to women.
Would the incels still love Shart if she were a gnome? Come on now.
>>53958557051% of the player base picked 1 character out of the 8 available romances
I love karlach because she's nice to me
>>539586164Gee I wonder why.
I genuinely wonder what's the percentage of wyllionaires
>>539586253regular hot white girl versus a six foot five hulking demon lady, an ugly alien, and an old chain smoking broad
>>539586529More than Manthara as he should be
Anyone made a tulpa? I want to create Astarion and commit egocide to leave the body to him forever.
>>539585963My feelings for him would be purely platonic.Appearance matters, sorry not sorry.
spending my birthday playing bg3
>>539587531happy birthday anon
Make Halsin tulpa. He'll give you advices how to get a gf. You can switch sometimes and he'll seduce bitches for you. And you can have sex with him any time!
Having sex with lae'zel while my muscle mommy goon queen karlach watches!!!
>>539588378Karlach canonically does this btw
>>539587424There's nothing to forgive.
men and women are fundamentally different. women are attracted to physical features a lot more than men. there are more married ugly women than there are married ugly men. men value things like integrity, truthfulness, loyalty. and thats why the really shart mod removes shart's dishonesty, non monogamy and her whorish behaviour. its not that deep
wow they were right toadcel is a incel
I thought there was supposed to be a Wisdom save to avoid killing Alfira, am i misremembering it?
>>539590868No man woulda romanced Shart if she were an ugly dwarf. She's more romanced than every other companion combined cause she's hot, full stop.
Shadowheart=emoKarlach=mommy The choice is clear.
>>539583209not everyone is into ghouls bro and it's a good thing
>>539591371I don't know about the Wisdom save but if you knock her out non-lethally before the Long Rest that triggers the said event her replacement shows up in your camp instead. It's meta-gaming but it allows you can keep her alive.>>539587531Happy Birthday!
I think it's worth noting that DOS2 romances were in the opposite in regards to normal versus freaky so the female romances were a human and an elf while male romances had a human but also a skeleton, a dwarf, and a lizardman
>>539594641again proving physical appearance doesn't matter as much to men as it does to women doesn't it
>>539594792>female romances (primarily for men) are two pretty human looking girls>male romances (primarily for women) are one human, a bald dwarf, a scaly, and a literal skeleton>proving physical appearance doesn't matter as much to men as it does to women???
>>539595063He just wants to blame women for his fetish not being catered to
>>539595063well when you say>female romancesi thought that's >women that you romance
So I'm doing warlock. Cha and dex are clearly important, strength is the dump state.But what's more important to put points into after those? between Con, Wis, and Int?Me and some buddies are gonna tackle the hardest mode for the first time (not honor mode, god no)
>>539596484CON
>>539596758and then the other two is whatever?
>>539596964Pretty much, despite this being a game about mindflayers WIS saves rarely ever matter.
>>539597783Just had to make sure. I'm not good on builds in most games, I tend to second guess alot and end up asking others or looking for guides.

My friend wanted to play again, so that means another psychopathic genocide run.This succubus mod class is kinda neat, wish I could customize the cambion model it's using though.
>>539603359i tried doing an evil run but killing karlach is just way too much
>>539603359agp
>really shadowheart is under moderation review on nexuswhat happened?
>>539603756Eh, I just run up and blast her so I don't have to hear any sad dialogue.I don't like being actually evil through dialogue. I like rampaging every now and then, but I always reload.>>539603773You don't appreciate attractive women?This is the baddest I've ever seen Shart, Morgana Evelyn did good having this made.
>>539604216agp gooner many such cases
>>539604216nonny you can be as girly as you want but don't be evil okay
I'm addicted to women with big breasts and big butts, just as women are addicted to men with big muscles and broad shoulders.
>>539604464I am a gooner, but my only mental illness is depersonalization-derealization disorder.>>539604532I love her so much, it's hard not to romance her every playthrough.Also, yeah, no evil, I don't even like playing redemption path Durge. I already quit that run, like I do every time I try.
>>539605301chaotic good durge is really fun, you just need a CHA class to make it doable
Im addicited to Lae'zel fat crits
>>539603756This is why you synchronize your evil run with your solo or your Minthara romance run.
>>539604216Everything about this looks ridiculous. You cannot possibly be taking the game seriously when your character and companion look like that. Be careful where that road leads you.

>>539611845Why do you need to squeeze into strange holes?
>>539611117Oh, I'm not.When I play with my friend, it's all weird and random shit he downloads. I never really download class mods and all that. Though I do like that dress Shart's wearing, it's part of a pack of a few decent looking items. Not really good for a serious playthrough, but nice to look at every now and then.

>>539614992I wish you and your family a happy ending full of dhampyrs <3
dual wield's only benefit is making an offhand attack through bonus action that hits for 2 damage?
Dhampirs wtih Astarion hrrghh
I wish frog was hot
>>539616858Dip your weapons into fire. It's free damage. Your off-hand attack should deal 1d6 + 1d4 = 6 average damage. Every bit counts when you're level 3.

I'm confusedWhy are frog people so arrogant? They seem to have a military culture sure but they're not such vastly better warriors than other races that you can always bet on them in a 1on1. Or am I misunderstanding this and they know they're not superior physically they just have a superior military and are proud of it
>>539684938doing magic tricks with your bro is not gay
>>539689236They're gith, basically space ravagers/spirates, been enslaved by Illithids and they really hate squids and anything squid adjacent
Also I take it that none of the other "great CRPG" titles that have been talked about in recent times like Divinity Original Sin 2, Pathfinder, Rogue Trader, etc have voice acting and romance like BG3 does?
>>539690390BG3 is the only good game in the series, yes.but try saying that out loud without being mobbed by waifu schizos
>>539690390bg3 is an AAA CRPG with a budget of 100 million bucks there aren't that many rpgs let alone crpgs with its production value & overrall roleplay depth, dos2, dragon age origins and vampire the masquerade are fully voice acted too if it's a must for you
>>539690776*in the genre
>>539691696 dumb post
>>539690390Owlcat games are a joke when it comes to voice acting: they're inconsistent, and random, basically a gimmick. Their romance are 'meh' and since their games have 5 acts, they're a dragnever played any other Larian game

>>539686297Someone hasn't read Carmilla.
>>539685450>>539685729>>539689240All jokes aside I can't recall a single RPG where this was an issue. This man is a booty bandit on loose! His personality and eccentric nature doesn't even bother me, but if you automatically facepalm every time you hear "private conversation" and "secluded location" you know he's a problem. Next time I'm going to play an arcane caster just to avoid having to drag him along!>>539689236Not only is their culture militarized, but also dominated by the "survival of the fittest" and "the chain is only as strong as it's weakest link" general mindset. Every Gith who reaches adulthood did something right, or you could say he or she earned it. Despite being free of the Illithid enslavement for quite a while now it still remains one of their defining traits. You can say this is the prime motive behind their perpetual warfare: they refuse to let anything like that happen again and determined to genocide the Mind Flayers for their past transgression. And we haven't talked about the constant inner fighting between their two main factions, the githyanki (this is Lae'zel's frog people) and the githzerai (not her frog people).
Gale never leaned to properly flirt because he was groomed by mystra (used goods btw). His idea of flirting is wizard foreplay straight into sex.
>>539694950This is true but also the timeline is pretty confused about thisIt's clear that Mystra fucked Gale's mind and made him an arrogant, insecure man who tries his best to become a better person but yeahHe spent most part of his life trying to please a literal goddes, shit like that fucks with somebodys mind
im still early in the game. what exactly qualifies as the kind of "elder wizard" gale is referring to. besides presumably being very learned and powrefulfor someone who's constantly trying to rape you and already got a taste of goddess sex, he sounds strangely humble and deferential when he wished he could speak to one of these "masters" for advice
>>539695402Elminster? he's like THE self insert in D&D, old as fuck, wise and he banged Mystra too also was morphed into a woman for some time and basically a OC donut steel character made canon

The sole person here willing to "twist words" to enjoy the "moral superiority" of... having basic decency. It really makes you think.>It's a silly double entendre, as "boned" usually refers to a sexual act, but since Godey is a skeleton and when know he has beaten Astarion, the joke becomes a textbook example of absurdism.It was just an innocent rape joke. A double entendre. Just a prank. Repeat it enough, and you can normalize it. Anyway, Astarion was never sexually abused and he dissociates in the brothel for no real reason.

>>539724715I'm sorry for your loss, Dammon... These were good men and women, and they did not deserve their untimely demise. Here, I want you to have this pitchfork - along with a greataxe, a greatsword, a longsword, a longbow, a light crossbow, two scale mails (still in good condition), one wooden shield, an arrow of lightning, an arrow of fire, an acid vial, and two gold pieces.

>>539734421He has Alert. Meaning he can't be Surprised and gets +5 for his Initiative, which stands at +8 with that. So the closest you can get to an ambush is rolling a higher Initiative than him, which is pretty hard unless you have Alert as well.The reason behind this and why he usually starts the fight with casting Sanctuary on himself is because he holds the Moonlatern that protects everybody. Remember, his freak show doesn't have the Selune's Blessing like your lot.
I am actually really loving how this succubus class plays, I wish there was something similar in the base game. I got a weapon from REL that makes me much better, but it's still a cool design to be flitting around the battlefield and charming people.

>>539735840ugly
>>539735840post the mod sis
>>539729578Yes, and in fact it's one of the more fun fights in the whole game to do it that way.
>>539735937Yeah, I don't get to design the look of the succ form sadly. It's just one of the sisters of justice from act 3.>>539736383I can't remember the name off hand, it's on the in-game manager. I think it just says "Succubus class" with a purple succubus picture.
What are objectively the most over powered classes? Open hand monk trivializes most act 3 bosses with stun. Swords bard gets great damage and can hypnotize/command enemies easily, again trivializing every encounter even on honor mode. Sorcerer can do obscene amounts of damage, but so can wizard with a magic missile spam setup. Paladin has good burst damage but casters definitely out cheese them. Moon Druid has great survivability, the Owlbear form can cheese certain bosses by jumping on them (Ketheric, Orin, Gyrm), a ton of summons and decent damage.Is swords bard the best overall?

>>539737543I think storm sorc's the best of the casters.I always make my way back to it. I was hoping shadow sorc would be my new main, but the way they implemented it feels like not even having a subclass.
>random Wyll Disapproves pops up while im in camp, 50 feet away from him.....what?
>>539736495is the console experience as bad as it looks?
>>539737543Pure Paladin doesn't rank very high in my opinion - it's just solid without being overpowered. Swords Bard with a 2-level Paladin dip is another story. Sorcerer can leverage metamagic in many ways, including stacking Arcane Acuity, which is obviously game-breaking. OH Monk is just ridiculous, as you mentioned. Any build that can abuse vulnerability against lightning/cold/piercing/psychic damage.
Lae'zel is love.Lae'zel is life.Lae'zel a miracle of the universe.Lae'zel might've done some things wrong, but she's still a beautiful person inside and out.
>>539680342rude
>>539739761>Swords Bard with a 2-level Paladin dip is another storyeven a 2 fighter dip for swords bard is amazing if you're going with a range build
>>539739645Console has some hardware limitations compared to a good pc, it doesn't have access to third party modding and must rely upon the integrated mod.io functionality (unless you jailbreak your console), and they recieve patches at the speed sony and microsoft say they do rather than it only being up to larian. So overall the console experience is slightly worse than a good pc with your own third party mod manager and using larian's own launcher.But a controller on pc is the best experience in my opinion. The aoe search function is so convenient and one of the popular mods simply emulates it, left stick movement is so comfortable and one of the popular mods simply emulates it, and the wheels set to your bumper and trigger buttons is just as fast and convenient as hotbars. bg3 is one of the few crpg to really nail controller support, and I'd even go as far as to say it's better experience than with a kb+m.I play every other crpg with m+kb because most games don't have such good controller support.
>>539741286>The aoe search functionwhat do you mean by this?
>>539741391You hold down the A button and the game brings up a menu of every single item in a radius around you, so you never have to click on boxes or chests or individual gold pieces on the ground or find the hidden lever behind something etc. It's so nice.
>>539737543Strongest class is a combination of Storm Sorcerer/Tempest Cleric
>>539737543Doing my first playthrough and vaporising everything with Hexblade Warlock, the entire game was entirely trivialised when i found the shadowblade + resonance stone combo, Hunger of Hadar seems crazy strong too, especially if you use water for the double damage and dont let anyone get out by using eldritch blast pushback
Just fought my first level 6 battle in Mountain Pass and I realized pure Healer Cleric Shadowheart......kind doesnt do anything? Besides topping the party off after the fight that is
not a single expression line
>>539741524that looks really convenient!

I can't believe they aren't racist enough. this post brought to you by SHADOW WIZARD MONEY FROG
>>539742891Cleric's problem is that basically every good thing in its whole kit can be camp casted or get used better by paladin/bard while dealing way more damage and the craziest classes all scaling off cha. Revorb spirit guardians lawnmower build is pretty good for cleric honestly at low level but it falls off really hard once the other builds come online.
I just finished the Inquisitor part of the Monastery and I'm really confusedBefore I bought the game I remember seeing some crazy stuff that can happen at the monastery but I've made my way back to the waypoint and it looks like I just....have full control of the map now? I can just teleport away and go hit up moonrise instead of fighting the remaining frogs?
>>539755441>neo-naziYawn. I guarantee you this “”””neo-nazi”””” is simply a conservative speaker at the most. Such a meaningless term in the big ‘25Also who gives a fuck? Even if he put Adolf Hitler as his inspiration it shouldn’t lead to mod deletion

Ranged Spell Attacks are Spells that has an Attack Roll as a component, right? At least that's the way I remember.
>>539780216Depends on the spell.Scorching Ray for example has an attack roll, as does Witch bolt.Magic missile doesn't because it always hits.AoE spells have no Attack roll, the target simply does a saving throw.Generally speaking, a single target spell has an attack roll, whereas AoE spells involve a saving throw from the target.
>>539770127Don't have a helf at hand, only a dragon drow bullied by Raphael
>>539781661Appreciate the reply but it didn't answer my question nor provided any new information. Let me rephrase it: what defines a Ranged Spell Attack in the game? I'm 90% sure the only criteria is the one I mentioned above but I hoped somebody more experienced with the mechanics would confirm or correct it. Because I'm the middle of equipping my party and I'd rather not waste time testing my theory unless I have to.
>>539783454nta but it's when the tooltip for the spell says "+ attack". it might instead say CON Save for example.
>>539783527specifically, for ranged spell attack, it would say something like "18m (+) Attack" and for a melee spell attack it will say "Melee (+) Attack"

Bought this game like a year and a half ago, never really played it outside of getting a warlock to like level 3 and went back to FPS games. Burnt out of those, want to give this another shot. Best way to go through a first play through? Blind as a bat I am assuming? What is a fun class for a first play through? Warlock wasnt ass but wasnt amazing. Kinda just want to bonk mfers

>>539793853space falmers
>>539790608Not at all! The only mandatory fight is the boss in a separated chamber. Otherwise you can be fully passive, assuming you can pass the 2-3 required skill checks.>>539792863Monk. Heavily multi-ability dependent, so prioritize DEX, CON and WIS and leave everything at 8. As straightforward as it gets while being powerful. If you want to elevate it to new heights you can take the Tavern Brawler feat at level 4 which is probably the most broken in the whole game. (If you plan to do so keep your CON at uneven score, as TB adds +1 to it.) It adds your STR modifier to your unarmed attack rolls and damage. Didn't you just dumped it? You did, but there's an easily accessible Elixir you can stack up that elevates your STR to 21 until a Long Rest. Not only do you enjoy the benefits of the high STR (carry capacity, be able to Throw heavy objects and creatures, Jump out of the world) but it also grants +5 to your unarmed attacks, ensuring you'll land hits on your foes and cause significant damage. It's overpowered as fuck and can trivialize the game but it's fun and beginner-friendly.>>539793579>honor mode>first playthrough
Why is there space and plane shitI thought this was a normal fantasy
>>539794843>It's overpowered as fuck and can trivialize the game but it's funThis statement is a contradiction.
>>539794843>>honor mode>>first playthroughyeah, and in every subsequent run you ever do, game is too easy otherwise
>>539793853gobs and orcs have long knife ears too
>>539795304Only if you're operating under the assumption that challenge (or rather challenging combat) is a requirement for having fun. You clearly do. Me too, to a degree. But there's plenty of people out there who wouldn't share this opinion. FPSAnon strikes me as somebody who just wants to bonk enemies then proceed. Rinse and repeat. In this case the fun could come from discovering and experiencing new content and while Anon might enjoy combat in small doses (who doesn't like his character beating people?) he mostly just wants to get over with it.>>539795712He could just customize the game difficulty to the same as Honor and take out permadeath for convenience. People have been doing so-called Honor runs long before it was first introduced, all it takes is some discipline and self-restriction. There's enough BS in the game you can run into as a first-time player that could poison or even end your Honor run. I just don't see why would it be beneficial for new players while the downsides could be significant.

>>539803478The best one is Tempest Cleric divinity because it makes you roll the highest possible value for damage.
