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: >>539476140
Minthara is really pretty.

>>539817782Have you ever wondered what happened to the boat you rescued the prisoners with? Well, I found it.
>mod is under moderationBig H W

A real lack of spiky/shonen hair mods.
they should give you a persuasion check option to stop Shadowheart from dying her hair granny white
>>539817782goddamn upgrade your graphics card mate
Missionary with Astarion
>>539819275You could probably guess what my inspiration was for this character, but I kinda veered off when I liked how the monk gi looked with other dyes.
Oh fucking hell, this ambush
>>539820359>32 maximum HP in Act 2Are you alright?
>>539821227Must be that rare 10 CON caster build.
>still 2 dumb to pick a class
>>539820359>he didn't pick AlertLOL!
bg3 but everything is the same except astarion is femalewho has more fans shadowheart or femstarion
>>539823332jenny english would ship shart with femstarion so hard its not funny. they'd have thousands of smutty fics
>>539823332fucking shart and cuddling with astarion afterwards
>>539823332>sassy, sex addicted, ride-or-die vampire gf >vs>basic bitch cuck queenDo you really need to ask?
I'm so confused about this Karlache subplotWhy is Dammon, a random refugee bum we meet, the only expert we can rely on for this? Why isnt there some grand ebin quest to find Xxx_Master_Smith_Hellsfire__xxX or something to fix her for good?
THESE are the daisies of the party?? holy shit my companions need to get some taste
>>539823579Because this is a Liarian game and you are restricted to 3 chapters with tiny, separated maps and a handful of recurring characters. Its difficult to make some kind of quest or adventure with this dogshit gamedesign.
>>539823579Pay attention to the lore. Dammon was the apprentice of Avernus' devil master smith when Elturel was in hell so he is probably the best authority on the infernal engine on the sword coast
>no option to cuddle with karlachei guess its because i locked in with shadowheart...
>>539823882where's your game
>>539823806That's rather mean, Jaheira.
>>539823579Because Karlach's quest has been cut short.There's a bunch of hooks that the Gondians might be able to replace / fix that engine due to them creating the Steel Watchers, which use a more advanced engine than Karlach has in her chest.
>>539824184oh come oncant offer to cuddle with karlache but halsin, after not speaking for 20 hours after the party in act 1, suddenly has flirt options in act 2?? Lame
>>539824338i figured astarion would have a male daisy at least. literally every companion has a female daisy
Are druids fun? What about necro for first playthrough?
>>539824184I bet it would be very warm and nice to Cuddle with karlach (she being the big spoon) but you would need to cut her toenails if you don't want to get stabbed (accidentally)
Are modded weapons like these overpowered?I actually really like the look and wanna mess around with it, at least for a while
>>539826049The shield is obviously unique but the other two items look alright because those effects are literally copied from other, existing weapons.Weapon action might play a role, whether they have a cooldown on short rest like other weapon actions because Whirlwind attack can be totally OP depending on the CD.
>>539823517yeah but dudes get pissy all the time about shart fucking the whole shar cloisterfemstarion has fucked thousands
why are Tieflings such bad parents
>>539826795Femstarion is undead, her previous partners dont count because all the sperm shot in to her just died off and her pussy doesnt stretch out, its static, frozen in time like the rest of her body. She is the same at her first and her thousandth fuck. The difference is that she fucks you with 200 years of experience.
>>539826007sexfrog
>>539823806Who's who
Mol only has 10 int, shes only marginally smarter than Lae'zel.
Femstarion would be popular because she would introduce herself as promiscuous. There would be no misrepresentation or misleading. People who like experienced women would sign up from the start.The problem with Shart is that she explicitly says she's not the third wheel type in act 2, and then later if you ask she reveals she's actually been daydreaming of having sex with Halsin for an extended period of time, and disapproves if you don't have sex with him. So it feels like she was misleading you earlier in the game, and most players who signed up for a usual waifu are surprised by her behavior that contradicts her prior words.I think ultimately Shart would still be the most popular waifu even if Astarion were female, because more men want a traditional waifu over an experienced waifu, though it would be relatively close. Most normies are not far enough in the game to learn that Shart is actually a poly queen, so the same situation that exists right now would still exist.Female Gale and female Wyll are both interesting too. Female Wyll would be insanely popular. The traditional virgin princess who wants to marry you and dances with you would be a smash hit.
>>539828239Your hatred of Shadowheart is pathetic. Get over the brothel you inceloid.
>>539828239You simply stating facts about the game while some weird incel posts a dead woman and calls you the incel will never not be funny. The utter delusion and irony is comedic gold. Keep up the good work.
>>539828862Me when I defend myself
>no it is the mintharafag that is the incel>says the incel posting a pic of a dead characterjesus dude come on
Can't see a female astarion working.
Can we make a list of the dumb shit in bg3?For instance, Gortash claims he doesn't know where Orin is holed up but the nether brain is literally on the way to the temple of bhaal. Also the party could just kill themselves to get rid of the tadpoles as they leave their host when they die.
astarion isn't astarion without neil#truth #real #facts
>>539829082coming from you LOL
>>539828239Shart says she prefers short term amusements in act 1, she's not presented as a pure romantic waifu. IMO I get the impression she holds you at arms length in Act 1 and 2 since she doesn't want anything to distract from her Sharran mission. Halsin himself isn't a long term prospect, the game treats him as a side chick, so I wouldn't say that contradicts her act 2 conversation. The other companions are real relationships, Halsin isn't
>>539829498truei don't even care to romance astarion but he's funny
>>539829926Stop arguing with yourself I am taking new pictures of dead Manthara
How do I make Shart more dynamic gameplay wiseRest of my team has been zooming around doing 3-4 hits a round since lvl 5 but Shart still just does one bonk and a bonus action heal
>group of incels point fingers and call each other incels
>>539830092spirit guardians or somethingclerics are casters
>>539826007"Jhai'valakak'vashtu, give me thy seed"
>>539830173there's only one group calling other people incels. everyone else calls them the cucks
>>539830628this. sharty melties daily on /bgg/
>>539830173I call him a incel all the time, suddenly its a problem because?
I don’t get this soul coin thing I have found like 2? of them? And I’m suppose to chug these like it’s a health potion? Where do you get more
>>539830940https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Soul_CoinIts like a power-up. I never use them personally.

>>539828239Femstarion wouldn't be that popular. All of the original flaws of the character - moral myopia, hypocrisy, self-centeredness - would still be present when gender-swapped and would still be unappealing. We tend to be more forgiving of these traits when the person is attractive, but that has its limits. He doesn't get a popularity bump because he turns into Dalyria. You of all people should understand that. Astarion is ironically popular because he's a rare example of a male survivor, which elicits sympathy. He's both the abused and the abuser. The trope started as "I can fix him." Female non-character would absolutely not be popular. You can't grow attached to a non-entity that lacks a spine, agency, personality, and all the things you expect of a character. There's nothing to "fix," to challenge, or to be challenged with. There is no romance to speak of with a cardboard cutout. Female Gale would be reasonably popular, although Gale is characteristically male in his ambition.
>>539831193I know I didn’t mean literally health pot but like use it like it’s a regular consumable yet it’s so limited? I’ll probably never use them
>Astarion is ironically popular
>>539831501...because he's a rare example of a male survivor, which elicits sympathy.
>What I wanna do: Funnel enemies into a choke point and blow them all up >What I hate doing: Trying to reach random scattered enemies 40 feet away Yet it’s the latter you find in 80% of the encounters
Female Astarion would be popular. Female elven vampire with white hair duhhh. Just some 4chan retards would cry about his body count.
>>539830752The constant whining from Mintharafag about Shart's writer and the meltdowns from Shartfags are insanely annoying. Mintharafag ignores certain lines and context from the writer to seethe about him and Shartfags, frankly, do the same thing.Look at this dialogue from the Tiefling party for Shart. The player can ask her to have a threesome. Her response? "Not tonight". The note from the writer says she's supposed to sound "suggestive", meaning it's something she'd be up for in the future. No, the writer DID NOT present her as a romantic sweetie perfect waifu in act 1. Group sex was always on the table for the character, holy shit.
>>539831816No one is crying about body counts. None of these romances are virgins except maybe the non-character and no one cares.
>>539831963Lol men would if Astarion was female. They do it with every female character who isn't a perfect virgin.
BG3:2 Orpheus Saga
Just uninstalled the game because a mod ruined my save 10 hours in
>>539831841yeah they're all gay and I don't care. she's a shit character and I ignore her whenever possible
I slightly bugged my game.>attacking Dolor at the wine festival>he's one hit from death>he tries to cast dimension door to escape the battle (wherein he goes to Figaro's)>Wyll, right next to Dolor, uses mage slayer reaction to attack him as he casts DDDolor died but his body is not at the wine event nor at Figaro's. Figaro is even sitting in the chair and thanks me for killing Dolor. Hardly game ruining but a little awkward. Is there even another way to learn the sicarius passphrase?
>>539831841Im not a Shartie, I like Karlach. I just hate nametranny's obsession with Shadowheart and how he makes every thread an argument about her.
>>539833321Fair enough
>>539832642What mod
>>539833258You can skip the tribunal altogether by simply shooting at the hanging bodies next to the door
yjk namefag is writing a 5k essay rn
>>539833774Yeah I just wanted to fight Sarevok and his dweebs.
>>539831489It's limited so you use them on Karlach for difficult battles. For example Myrkul.
>>539834302dont know who that is but ill keep that in mind
>>539831841If you suggest opening the relationship in Act 2, Shadowheart says that she wouldn't want to be your "spare lover," then later contradicts herself.>In truth, I don't think I'd want to be your spare lover. I'd always want more of you than you'd have to spare. You can have a character change their mind as the romance progresses - as is the case with Lae'zel - but flip-flopping again after that demonstrates inconsistent characterization. Therein lies the issue, even as you accuse Mintharafag of ignoring certain lines.>>539832209>They do it with every female character who isn't a perfect virgin.This has never been an issue in the two years this general has existed. No one has ever been outraged that they're not Lae'zel or Shadowheart's first. No one expects the 250-year-old Minthara to be an inexperienced, timid virgin. And no decent person would fault Femstarion for having been forced to sleep with people for the better part of 200 years when she was a slave. Stop basing your argument on a disingenuous premise.
>>539834726>Lae'zel or Shadowheart's*Lae'zel's or Shadowheart'sBoth should have a possessive. Proofreading matters.
>>539834726Did you forgot your name.
this general is boned
>>539834726>If you suggest opening the relationship in Act 2, Shadowheart says that she wouldn't want to be your "spare lover," then later contradicts herselfWe've already been over this. Halsin, the drow twins, or whoever else in Act 3 are flings or one night stands, not serious relationships. She doesn't see Halsin as an actual threat to her relationship. She may think Karlach is very attractive, but Karlach wants a serious relationship with the player, so it's a no go.
Why didn't Vlaakith just cast Wish for the Prism to be returned to her?
>>539835921She asked the DM and he said no.
>>539835302Yes, I forgot to put my name in the namefield in a post where I refer to myself in the third person. 'Tis I, Mintharafag.>>539835610I'm referring to the boundaries that Shadowheart sets for the player character, and by extension, the relationship. If the player character decides to have fun on their own with others (unspecified), this should be cause for a serious conversation or a breakup, given the "spare lover" line. Because this isn't the case, it becomes a contradiction.
>In truth, I don't think I'd want to be your spare lover.This is why she sleeps with and dreams about a man; you are her spare lover
