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: >>551544393
What are the best items to feed Gale?
>>551839395Is it possible this is a reboot of the franchise? The devs have said that they weren't really paying attention to lore or canonicity prior to DOS2.
>>551839395I find it funny that they're saying "unchained our ambitions". Which is a dig at wotc, since Swen was very open about the fact that they kept proposing abilities, classes, items, etc that were shot down by wotc because they would deviate too much from 5e.But that aside, Larian with all this money and new studios they opened and doing their own thing without wotc really is exciting. We could potentially see an early access in the next couple years, and with dark heresy also coming out in the next few years, with a little patience we will be playing some damn good games soon. Very exciting.
>>551840007I think that it's teased as a soft reboot, they'll pick all the lore bits that they like and make it canon and retcon the rest going forward
>>551815858why do /pol/cucks love ai so much
>>551840670because they hate artists, ask him >>551840226
>>551840670everybody in tech uses AI, chuds shill AI because they're talentless, swen uses it to save time
>>551838891Stuff that doesn't suit your go-to party's combat style.
>>551840226If Minthara and Lana Beniko were trapped in a room, and the only way to escape was for one to willingly rim the other, who would go first?
>>551838891There are so many low-value items that it isn't really worth the mental effort to remember which ones to look for. The grove alone supplies more than three, easily. For example, there's an amulet of Lesser Restoration near that fishing bear. You can use it to cure Pandirna's legs, and then it's good for Gale.
i just boughtered this game
>>551838891the locket you get from rescusing the thiefling childcolour spray ring
>>551839395 I hope that the vibes will be similar to act 2 & the house of hope it's my favorite bg3 act
>>551841251What are you gonna make
>>551840226I'm going to be a grandpappy by the time this game comes out.
>>551841681you'll have to wait two years tops pinky promise
>>551841808>wants
>>551842058let them cook
>>551841808Its going to take another 6 years
>>551841681plenty of time to start your DOS2 playthrough
>>551842175they're cooking a bukkake omelet for their retard "fans"
>>551842190>no more covid>way more devs>now use AI>way more money>the russian studio isnt drafted anymoreit won't take 6 years nuhuh
>>551842260and you're the fluffer by how disgruntled you sound
>>551841226ThisFrankly anything short of the yellow tier items are so niche that many greens mog blues and purples for most builds. My healer Shadowheart was using a necklace that made her heal to full HP on any source of healing from (I believe) the creche, and it was never once removed even by endgame. It was simply too good for what she was doing.
>>551842421swen already said AI hasn't helped>more devsthats usually more of a curse, disagreements happen

Divinity? More like Dishitgamey

>>551841650drow monk
How the FUCK did the player and their retinue manage to kill Ethel? Wandering through her gallery and seeing what she's done to people makes it out like she's a much more dangerous foe than we should be able to contend with.But then, with her offering deals and even encouraging us to leave "or else," it's clear she's at least a little concerned about fighting us--but why?
>>551843987No one's immune to getting jumped
>>551843987She could sense the main character energy.
brand new to this general but been lurking for a little whilejust to make sure, that "mintharafag" guy is like this general's "the schizo", right? and he takes his trip off to make all those posts that are like "the pig" and "the swine" and schizistically linking a bunch of archive posts like it doesn't make him look insane?and the reason he's so mentally ill is because... he used to be a shadowheartfag and the halsin thing buckbroke him? did i get all that right?
>>551843987smite
>>551844219Right, yet wrong. The namejanny often isnt himself.
>>551843460What's wrong with that?
>doubting larian after bg3swen with an infinite budget is unstoppable
>>551844452>what's wrong with gale, halsin and wyllyou tell me
>>551843460Sven I swear to fucking God there better be a female Dragonborn companion in Divinity. This is two games now without lizard pussy in immediate access at all times.
>>551844509iasip ripoff
>>551844686The lizard will be male again because they are Swen's self inserts
>>551844686The lizard will be male again because swen wants to get fucked by one
>>551844659I meant what's wrong with them being humans/elves?
So it's pretty much guaranteed Astarion's VA is coming back for Divinity, right?
>>551845234it's a dnd game
>>551845068Nothing wrong with that
>>551845287unfortunately
>>551845287yes he'll be sebille
>>551845287I like neil but idk how good his range is
>>551845464I think he should be a stuck up haughty lizard in Divinity. His voice has a nice slitheriness to it.
>>551840226>Swen was very open about [...]This is mildly ironic in light of recent backlash. Swen has also been recently "very open" about the use of generative AI "only" for the purpose of developing concept art for Divinity, among other things for which AI assistance is deemed "acceptable." The language itself used in such discourse is never wholly transparent - where is the line, after all, between "hand-drawn" and "AI-assisted"? One might wonder how the narrative that they're hiring a bunch of concept artists can coexist with this tacit admission that they will rely more and more on AI. Another layer to the irony is that WotC was also denounced for using AI slop for their books and MtG cards in recent years. And yet here we are, with Larian free of WotC's shackles, free to resort to AI. It's okay because Swen is a stand-up guy - he would never sell out.
>>551844659Well, they each grate on my nerves in different ways.
it would be funny if they got astarion to play fane cause BONE
>>551845287i hope so
>>551845530yeah I can see it
>>551845287Most likely, yeah. He's in the new Starfinder Afterlight if you want to play his game before Divinity. He's also in resident evil and a few other things too.
There should be a game with no humans
>>551845931what race did you play in bg3
Africa: The RPG
Divinity be like:
>>551846198Kek
>>551846198mintharafagcore
>>551843987It might seem surprising, but green hags only have a Challenge Rating of 3. They're mostly cowardly creatures that prey on the vulnerable.
>>551847013>lazyzel hits hag repeatedly, doesn't do a thing>shadowheart kills her first trytypical
>>551846091trump lost
soon
>>551847013There's no way Ethel is a regular green hag, then. She turned a guy into a tree door!
>>551847013>when you only get an assist cause shart swoops in last second
What are the opposites of the standard fantasy races?Humans' opposites are orcs, right?And smallfolks' would be goblins.But elves' wouldn't just be dark elves; that's lazy.And dwarfs' wouldn't just be duergar for the same reason.
>>551847430Yeah, she's probably stronger than your average green hag. But nothing a level 4 party can't handle.
who do you cast for the netflix series they're making?
It was very kind of one of Ethel's masked minions to drop those heavy stones for me to throw on top of the gas emitters so that I can then explode the flowers and pass by unimpeded.
>>551847738You're going for a sort of dark reflection, yeah?Orcs | ElvesGoblins | DwarvesKobolds | Halflings
>>551838363I've been thinking about getting Baldurs gate 3, never played anything to do with Dungeons and Dragons. How woke is it?
>>551849856You let me lay on top of Mizora*
>>551851179there are black NPCs, you can choose your pronouns and the male companions can flirt with you, don't buy the game if that's enough to trigger you
Divinity should bring back Mizora somehow. Only this time, for some reason, she's literally naked all the time.
>Watching Jaheira get bodied by the Absolute guards and not giving enough of a fuck to reloadShouldn't have panthered right into two squiggly Hadar pits you dumb bitch.
nobody likes wyll not even his dad
>>551851179There are an eyebrow raising number of homosexuals and blacks in Act 3, and that's about it.
nobody likes jaheira
>>551852527I love jaheira, you could have replaced every single halsin scene with jaheira and the story would have been the exact same
>>551852527I love Jaheria
>>551846932Much better.
If I take the Hag's deal, what happens? Can I save the masked people?
>>551852527Jaheira is great.
>>551853664Actually, let me ask this: I know about the Mirror of Loss and I know I can get up to +3 Charisma from it. Is it worth making the deal with the Hag to get that extra +1?
>WizardsClassic spellcasters. Learn from the written word how to manipulate the Weave to form spells>WarlocksAsk mommy or daddy to lend them some magic juice>Bards/SorcerersHow to the charisma classes cast spells? The bard's music is so good it bends the Weave I imagine but sorcerers just... do it? Don't they have to study to improve? Which just makes them wizards?
>>551846932something's missing, where's karlach?
About what level should your party be going into Moonrise Towers? My party is currently level 6 and I got through the Nightsong dungeon alright but this fight at the entrance feels a little bit unreasonable.
>>551854257fingering an asshole somewhere I reckon
>>551854249No, Sorcerers innately learn new ways to cast magic through spiritual manners like dreams or they accidentally discover it, or honing their body unlocks new inner potential. They can't learn from scrolls like Wizards, they're not educated in magic, it's just akin to breathing for them.
>>551853664>>551854159You can't save the masked thralls if you leave her alive, but +4 to your stat of choice is like 2 free feats, or the reward of 8 levels.
>>551854496level 7 at the very least, if the moonrise tower seige is enough to give you trouble you're not ready at for the final boss of act 2, you gotta level up some more and get better gear, stock up blood elixirs too
>>551854249>but sorcerers just... do it? Yes>Don't they have to study to improve?No.Sorcerers are pic related.
>>551854761Sorcerers might not get the spell variety of Wizards, but being able to sling magic and not give a give a flying fuck about resources is just too much convenience. Their "limited use" sorcery points aren't even truly limited, because you get one back per casted spell.
>>551854249Typically a sorcerer will have a unicorn or dragon or devil or other outsider in their lineage, and they inherit the ability to interact with magic through their bloodline. Lots of outsiders have magic as an inherent part of their various abilities, and some portion of that is passed to their offspring. Other times, an event will imbue a person with the weave, this is pretty rare and will often be traumatic.Wizards study hard.Warlocks flatter a patron.Sorcs are just born with it.Bards are a mix of both, a bard can study hard like a wizard or just "vibe cast" like a sorc, it depends on how they approach music.Personally I've always liked wizards the most. Studying hard and having your ability directly correlate to how hard you work for it is cool to me. I'd rather not just be given power, and my least favorite by far is warlock where you have to suck up to something for power.
since laezel's writer is poly we'll be getting tons of poly representation in Divinity after bg3 :)
>tabletop rules>rangers are so bad you're literally better off just alternating rogue and druid levels>BG3 rules>rogues are so bad you're better off just playing a rangerwhat happened
>>551856030bg3 reworked rangers meanwhile rogues only have a single good subclass and it's only good because it gets two bonus actions, rogues fucking suck in dnd 5e too though
>>551852428Eyebrow raising in what way? How many could there possibly be? And are they forced down your throat?
>>551851179Not too crazy, I mean there's gay shit and sometimes the game flings crap in your face but they also give you the option to get rid of them and some of those options even come with rewards so...It's what you make of it. I personally was disgusted by some of the content but there's workarounds.
I'll force my cock down your throat you fucking little bitch, i'll fuck you until you love me.
>>551847013Wait, it occurs to me that I fought only using cantrips and no special on-rest abilities.I went back and used my first and 2nd level spells and my resources and knocked her out in two rounds.
>>551855572Gross.
>havent booted up BG3 in a week since completing itBros....is this...really over....I had so many ideas on a second playthrough while still playing my TavEven put a few hours into side Durge campaignBut now that I finished my first proper playthrough, I just feel....done.
>>551857386Taking a break for a while then coming back when you feel some inspiration is a nice thing too
they really don't let you play out the fight against the goblin army camped outside of reithwin town, huhthere's not even a mod for it or anything?how many goblins would you actually need in order to take down an 8th-level adventuring party anyway?
>>551856464There's just simply a lot of homos to the point you wonder how kids are even being born. Like half the populace of Baldur's Gate seem to be gay.
>>551859850It's easy, the women have kids young and convert to lesbianism as milfs. There's even an example in the game.
Wasn't there a way to agree to the Hag's deal and then kill her anyway? I loaded back to the conversation, accepted her deal, and then tried to swap to another character to slay her, but it wouldn't let me.
Oak father preserve us all.
I take a walk every day, I manage two small businesses, I run games at my local tabletop game store multiple times a week, and I cook for myself and do regular yardwork and all the usual homeowner stuff as well. You can do whatever you want with proper time management. Lots of people just unknowingly waste lots of time throughout the day, often in the form of commuting in a car or waiting, or on the cell phone.
>>551861458Halsin would say that
>>551840670Elon has pull with glowies, used them to psyop AI to right-leaning groups as based and pointed to lefty seething.The retarded, tribalized mind of the average westoid on the internet ate it up, the retarded mind of the boomer just likes to make funny slop and so doesn't see the harm(they never have foresight).>>551838389Because she is baby and nothing she does is wrong.I love my wife so much.
Halsin is such a nothingburger character. The miniscule effort put into him could have went elsewhere.
How hard would it have been to just have an Alfira companion, or an Aradin companion, or a Sazza companion, or something. Literally anything.
Halsin is such a amazing character. The gargantuan effort put into him was well placed.
Halsin is a pedophile and a groomer.
>>551863953I wanted Alfira, and our Tav-Lakrissa-Alfira polycule would have been the cutest.
the evil playthrough makes no sense. you can't even really be evil, because you can't side with the gith, you can't side with ketheric, and you can't side with gortashit's just a neutral playthrough where you kill a bunch of people
>>551860925I figured it out! I whittled her down, got Gale through the mushroom ring, and then during the conversation I was able to bring Gale back in and finish her off with a Magic Missile.Cheesy, yes, but fuck Ethel.
>>551864643You can side with Gortash (even if he dies it's not because of you) and you can murder everyone or mind control them with the brain, that's not neutral.
The game will remain unfinished until wyll gets some move
>>551864235I meant emperor
halsin may be an emperor, but he's still dogshit
I miss darts and slings.
Swen touched my peepee
>>551845464he played a character in the lies of p dlc and sounded exactly the same
Decided to reinstall since I haven't played for over a year. Forgot a load of shit and decided to start a hard mode campaign, had no clue about the update so I was surprised when I saw new subclasses. Looks like I'll be doing a few more playthroughs to try out all these new subclasses. Is there any that excel over the others? Are there some lackluster ones? Is there any new content for an evil playthrough?
>>551862887>the retarded mind of the boomer just likes to make funny slop and so doesn't see the harm(they never have foresight).My mother constantly showing me the funny Simpsons-like picture she genned out of our family photo or how AI shows her home furniture in different colors even though she perfectly knows generative AI ended my fucking career and obliterated my field:Admittedly the Simpsons picture is a cute gesture, but the AI itself couldn't even fucking get the style right and the noses are realistic and the faces focused from the front even though Simpsons avoids using frontal shots as much as it can.
>>551843460For real though, where's my obligatory dwarf buddy? What's a fantasy adventure with no dwarf? Whose horned helmet can we rub for good luck if there's no dwarf? Who's bringing the beer?
>>551851179it's mostly fine except for one part near the end where someone is portrayed as being extremely unreasonable for not wanting to give his house to refugees
>>551879770I hope that divinity will have a more diverse party, bg3 barely has any dwarves or orcs
Should i do this?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>551883805hehehee...
>>551879770I'll give you the beard and the horned helmet but the dwarf companion will be female.
SUS? AMOGUS???
sussy tree....
>>551879656You could always be a trad plumber and make your mother and Jesus proud.
>>551886349Imma plumb your mom's pipes m8.
>>551875641>Is there any that excel over the others?I'll go through the classes in alphabetical order, based on mechanical effectiveness only. Theme is an intangible.Barbarian, Giant - Above average. Rage grants increased size. Gains the ability to Kick (better Shove with damage). Can be a capable throwing build with Elemental Cleaver. Cleric, Death - Above average. Reaper enables twinned necromantic cantrips. Touch of Death is burst damage. Inescapable Destruction ignores necrotic resistance.Fighter, Arcane Archer - Pretty strong. Versatile and unique arrows that replenish on a short rest, including psychic/force damage and banishing ones.Paladin, Oath of the Crown - Above average. Gets Spirit Guardians, which can enable Reverberation/Radiating Orb. Wizard, Bladesinger - Pretty strong. True gish with Wizard spellcasting. Bladesong upgrades to +4 AC and +4 to CON saves. Good Shadow Blade candidate.Warlock, Hexblade - Pretty strong. Hexblade Curse is stacked. Access to Banishing Smite. Armor of Hexes is one of the best Reactions.>Are there some lackluster ones?Bard, Glamour - Unremarkable. Mantle of Majesty grants the equivalent of Command as a Bonus Action, but that's it.Druid, Circle of the Stars - Average. Dragon Form helps maintain Concentration, but you get the same value out of a 2-level dip.Monk, Drunken Master - Unremarkable. No noteworthy or synergistic features.Ranger, Swarmkeeper - Average. Swarms add a bit of per-turn damage/utility.Rogue, Swashbuckler - Average. Dirty Trick is a resource-free Bonus Action disarm, but that's it.Sorcerer, Shadow - Average. The hound summon is somewhat gimmicky.Side note - the addition of Shadow Blade and Booming Blade in Patch 8 also improves existing subclasses. In particular, Eldritch Knight is much better now.>Is there any new content for an evil playthrough?Patch 7 introduced some new evil endings, in case you missed that. Origins get specific cinematics. No new content otherwise that I'm aware of.
how do i save alfira as durge?
Warlock comes before Wizard alphabetically. I'll leave that mistake as it is and reflect with shame.
>>551887064Glad we agree on becoming a tradechad. If your job can be taken by AI or Indians it wasn't a real job.
>>551887924knock her out prior to crossing the bridge leading to moonhaven, then cross the bridge, then long rest. if there are other camp events queued up it might interfere with this, i'm not sure.

>>551888443>i suckhot
>>551888443this game is way too complicated for newcomers I only understood what dashes actually do 20 hours through my first ever playthrough
>>551890332There's literally a tool tip that tells you what dashes do when you have to fight the crawling brains in the crashed ship on the fucking beach.
I have never done 10 Charisma playthrough, How do i manage the economy? I'm not gonna pickpocket but how much money will i lose without high Charisma? I could also make Gale a Alchemist for extra bucks.I would just like to get Wisdom or Int for a while in conversations or Detect ThoughtsAlso i literally mean 10 Charisma is max for everyone.
>>551891217Just swap to the party member with the highest charisma while in the shop tab.
>>551891375i said no one is not allowed to have over 10 charisma, no warlocks, paladins or sorcerers
>>551891217I usually make wyll my vendor bot, max his charisma out and any time you're going to buy/sell drag him out.
>>551891465I've done that with the active party, it's perfectly doable. However I refuse to respec Wyll since intentionally having higher trader prices is retarded.
I'm in Act 2 and I don't even know what you buy in this game because 95% of shop items are trash.
>>551891065guess I didn't see it between the tooltips explaining short rests, advantage, attacks of opportunities, spell slots and attack rolls oh no
>>551845610The AI thing is a total nothingburger, you might as well get mad at them for googling shit to find references
what a featsurely it will turn the tide of battle as much as ASI or savage attacker or tavern brawler or great weapon master or spell sniper or lucky or war caster or charger or
>>551838363Act 2 my beloved. Not quite as good as Act 3, but it's short and self contained, the main plot flows well with no hiccups, and has creative fights; it is the Act with perhaps the most "choices & consequences" and the soundtrack is fantastic and incredibly atmospheric.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhmmBaboayc

>it is the Act with perhaps the most "choices & consequences"Wrong, you worthless pig fuck. Act 2 is objectively the most linear one. It boils down to whether you decide to spare the Nightsong. Killing the Thorms through dialogue or combat is a matter of roleplaying, not Choice & Consequence. Sparing or killing Yurgir is relatively irrelevant in the grand scheme. Trying to persuade Ketheric is a matter of roleplaying, not Choice & Consequence. It's fascinating how consistently wrong you are about everything. Stick to posting obnoxious slop - that's all you're good at.
i want to get into this game but i think its too turn based for meglad it wonned regardless
https://youtube.com/shorts/w_xeoRnIJPY?si=7cavzmCbx7eUzStX
Arcane Archer or Death Cleric?
>>551896890Death Cleric is a great class for a solid roleplay, and it can also work well as a Shadowheart class: powerful spells, a much more offensive approach, and you won't often use it as a healer, but rather as an "offender."I honestly haven't tried Arcane Archer yet, but if you like using ranged attacks with a bow and crossbow, it's ideal. Personally, I find it too limited a gimmick and prefer Eldricht Knight as a Fighter subclass, which can also use variant arcane magic but is more dynamic.
>>551896245Wait, is she trying to ruse you about killing Aylin too? Guess Orin wouldn't know only the sharran spear works...
Orin & Mizora owe my tav sex
>>551897335nah bro Archane Archer gets level 3 Banishment they are broken as fuck, Only question is Death Cleric as broken in Level 3.
>and you won't often use it as a healer, but rather as an "offender.">Dear Mintharafag, there is no language barrier
>>551895789it's probably an oversight bth, they didn't get it because larian forgot they exist lol

>>551897870he’s into womenscram
>>551896890i haven't played DC, but AA is a very straightforward subclass which brings a lot to the table despite its limited abilitieslike the other anon said, banishing arrow has great utility, seeking arrow always hits and can also apply faerie fire from which other attackers will benefit from as well, and piercing arrow can devastate a horde of enemies in a single turn (asumming you pair it with action surge)and best of all, if you miss the arcane arrows the charge used for them doesn't get used up, and it's also replinished by short rests
>>551897339Well, those are Orin's ideas about Minthara and the companions, they're not necessarily true... but yes, she tries to turn everyone against the others, even without knowing exactly what those actions would entail. Though I have to admit, Orin's dedication to the bit is commendable, she even learned to speak some Gith when she shapeshifts into Lae'zel in another scene.>>551897603>BanishmentI really never used that often, a CHA save spell should actually work quite often.Well, Death Domain has Animate Dead at level 5, so it's probably not that broken: so you might want War Cleric with the extra attack. But Touch of Death is no joke either, 5 + 2 × (Cleric level) necrotic damage is kinda sweet, and with Inescapable Destruction at lvl 6 no enemy will have Necrotic dmg resistance. And Bursting Sinew is just a fun spell
astarion is bi and wants to bang literally every male companion
So this is the secret bossHow fucked up is it going to be?
Doesn't Shart know about tampons? Christ, how disgusting.

>>551899226You could triple your party size. That's the swine's trick for "beating" the game.
>>551899778Party size doesn't fucking matter when it does 25% hp dmg to every single one each time you dmg itBut for whatever reason I hit it for 0 no matter what so I'm just running away from it
>>551900036BG1 & 2 party size wasn't limited to 4 people, that's a Larian gimmick; it's probably this way so they can design they levels and encouters with more care, since those games had real time combat: much like, on the other hand, many encounters in Owlcat games are designed for big parties.
>>5519003104 is way too little, 5 or 6 hit the sweet spot I'm sad that they already confirmed that divinity will be a 4 man party too
https://youtu.be/y6hDDhzVe9w?si=sB3rATTSATHZbzOrbg3 really needed a definitive edition
>>551900310the game would be even easier with more people in the party
>>551900834worst character in the universe
The default party size in 5E is four PCs. That's what the Challenge Rating of a monster (mentioned above) is based on.>Challenge Rating (CR) summarizes the threat a monster poses to a group of four player characters. Only a complete attention whore like the swine would decide to remove the party size limit to spam obnoxious slop. This is the same clown that's giving commentary on Patch 8 subclasses, by the way.
Also, is there a Larian video that can teach English? I'm getting tired of having to parse unintelligible drivel, such as calling Death Cleric an "offender" subclass.
>>5519014714 is also the best for real play. It gives everyone a chance to shine, while the party still has some minor gaps/shortcomings, which makes for interesting RP.5+ just means you have an unkillable group of people fighting for their chance in the limelight
>>551902176>5+ just means you have an unkillable group of people fighting for their chance in the limelightthat's a skill issue and you got a shitty DM if they can't make the combat feel challenging or can't make a player feel important if there's an extra player or two at the table, 7 feels like the actual limit
nobody here has played real dnd stfu
>>551902176it depends on the party comp desuif its composition is suboptimal, more than 4 members won't ruin the experience
cheers lads
>>551903085...least of all the pig. But does that stop it from vomiting its worthless opinion?>See roleplaying as an aspect that helps you decide your build, your way of creating the character, and through combat you will begin to better understand not so much how the game works, but the mentality of your character. 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.Ah, yes, roleplaying. The act of going on stage and playing a role while trying to ignore FOMO. What a clever pig.
>>551902383There are 9 base classes in DND 5th. With 4 players, you are on average covering 5/6, or 4/6 of the Ability Scores if two people play the same style of class. With 5 or more players, it's extremely unlikely you aren't covering 6/6 abilities, meaning your party is bad at nothing and good at everything. It also means unless they're stupid, or the DM never gives out magic items, or they're playing 5 Bards for the memes, they're also going to be extremely strong in combat because they cover every single base.>you got a shitty DM if they can't make the combat feel challengingHas literally nothing to do with that. A single goblin can "feel challenging" under the right circumstances, because the DM can make shit as arbitrarily difficult as he wants. It has to do with the fact that the DM shouldn't have to game every single fight, and should be able to look at the CR for monsters, put together a basic encounter, and then roll with it. Action economy is king in 5th, and if you have 5 PC turns a round it trivializes almost everything.Not to mention the fact that 5E PCs are already strong, and 5.5E makes them overpowered as fuck.
Does Ring of Flinging add Monk Deflection damage?
How the hell did goblins manage to put a bear into a cell lol. Anyone, I'm putting the thing out of its misery.
I put over 200 hours in this game but never beat it. I re-rolled too many times and always lost steam by act 3. I'm coming back to finally beat it. Will tactician be fun or just extremely irritating? I know how the mechanics work for the most part but I don't know everything or every check/item/etc. I have watched a lot of the big BG3 tubers since I last played but I'm not sure how much of it was entertainment vs knowledge gained.On the off chance you're going to say it will be easy, I could just do with less party members. Going Dark urge spore druid tav, death domain evil shart, monk frog, and some some of paladin for minthara.
Based frog as always
>>551904230Yeah tabletop doesn't have things like Unstoppable which were put into BG3 to avoid trivializing encounters with strong PC's.
>>551904537I never played on tactician, but I did use tactician values in custom settings, and the one thing I can say for sure and enemies will incredibly annoying to fight because they will be spamming character disabling actions which will rarely ever saveSuper fucking annoying, not my cup of tea so I can't recommend itI'm playing custom honor mode right now as seen on pic related and I'm enjoying it a lot more than my previous runs
>>551900865>>551902383>>551903287It depends: for a first playthrough of the game, probably. If the player is a min-maxer who exploits every possible advantage the game offers, definitely.Having multiple characters to deal more damage and make battles less challenging can be detrimental to some, while for others, having a small army to lead is a source of fun. In a single-player game, I personally find it difficult to pinpoint just one way to have "fun" in the game, especially in RPGs like this one where, thanks to mods, there's a great opportunity to tailor the game to one's needs.What I want to point out is that having multiple characters equals more turns; in fact, each fight almost doubles, so you could be more effective with just four players, saving time. It depends on what's more valuable to the player: getting maximum fun in the minimum amount of time, or starting to use some characters for specific roles, as sometimes happens in TTRPGs where the sweet spot is generally between four and six players; CR is a tool to help the DM create interesting encounters, otherwise we would just have Tarrasque all over the palce; the Player's Handbook knows it talks about marching order, splitting up the party, etc., there's way to play with a little big group of players, the authors were smart enough to realize this is a game that can involve many people.As with any board game, if the rules are well explained from the start and understood by all players, fun is guaranteed. Many people seem to forget about the "fun" part.

>>551911161It sucks low level though!!
Karlach would've been a lot better if her quirk-chungus Reddit personality only came AFTER serious character development. She should've arrived on the Material Plane as a distrusting, closed off, maniacal, dangerous devil-spawn. Only after interacting with her in a positive manner would she then soften up and learn to love life.Or, pushing her negatively would make her hedonistic, vengeful and hateful.I guess maybe it was too similar a personality to Lae'zel or something.Her current endings could even reflect it with just minor tweaks>Good ending involves going to Avernus with the pals to sneak around and final the Infernal Engine blueprints>Bad ending involves going to Avernus to raise an army of Devils and usurp Zariel
Noone cares about Karlach.
>>551912543i do, she has best chili pepper spicy hot flamin red ass cheeks i wanna eat and get smothered by
>>551912543karlach is the second most popular bg3 character
>>551912543she and jaheria are my fav women
>>551912434That makes no sense though, she's spent a decade desperately wishing to go back to the material plane and do all the shit she hasn't been able to do in Hell, why would she succeed in going back and then get angry? She already reacts to everything infernal-related with either "AAAAAH KILL IT KILL IT" or "AAAAAH RUN AWAY".
>>551913867Because she should have PTSD, basically. She even comments how Devils are constantly playing tricks, lying, you can't trust anyone, everything fucking sucks, etc.No shot after a DECADE of dealing with that shit 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 week a year you'd come out and be>ah shit thank god that's over now i can be happy and chill!You'd be beyond fucked in the head. She'd be afraid to trust anyone, afraid to love, etc
>>551914527She doesn't have trust issues because she never trusted any devil during her stay nor even touched them even though she could have. She basically has monk-like self-control in some matters.Also being Zariel's pet project would logically mean the vast majority of the devils wouldn't try to mess with her out of fear.
I don't get it what did he do to make them so mad?

>>551840670Because they cannot draw or make art, and so seethe immensely and try to bring actual artists down. The blackest of envies, and envy is the ugliest of sins.>>551841048Depends on how that AI is used. If an artist uses it to mish-mash his concepts so that he doesnt need to draw them again for the n-th time - sure, its fine. Or when a level designer needs to manually toggle/move markers (i had to use a script back in my Fallout NV modding days) to edit a cell, or something like that - sure, its fine. And if artist uses AI to "make me a texture and then a model" and then be like "that costs you 500$" - its not fine. Its like using AI to generate an image of Mona Lisa blowing Mario and then charging 2k$ for it. Its bullshit, but /pol/shits love it - because if they cannot control it, they will poison/taint it.
>>551918114>then charging 2k$ for it.but that's on the retards who pay for it
>>551846932>those fourCanon party composition.
>>551914527Karlach does have PTSD. Not every person with PTSD is the same, just as not every depressed person is this sullen ball of sadness. Some might adopt an upbeat personality as a way to cope with trauma, or it might simply be who they were before their lives were upended. Also, Karlach couldn't trust anyone when she was surrounded by devils, creatures of pure evil. She has no reason to be this guarded with people. It's a shame that you have these characters who are more than one-dimensional stereotypes, yet so many stop at a superficial "I don't like her because she swears, or she's too happy."
man this party is ass
>>551916710well considering how devoted she is, if you told her to be your personal fucktoy, she'd be one, for the absolute of course
>>551852527I like her. I actually like a party with Jaheira and Minsk.
i stared at my body type 4 tiefling naked for too long(male, uncut)
>>551919013I'd be the diddy of the absolute
>>551919157Tav/Durge should be a nudist desu
>>551858290It would've been nice to have an optional fight with that army. A tough fight that yields a lot of valuable loot, and on top of that eliminates the Absolutist army as a threat (because you kill its generals/leaders, and its reduced to just a disorganised mess) and thus undermine Gortash (allowing you to pass a difficult check, rally lord at the ceremony and eliminate Gortash before entering Baldur's Gate proper).Difficult, but very satisfying.
>>551896347kill yourself, schizo
>>551859850I think they are mostly bisexual.>>551860192>convert to lesbianismLol.I just think they are free to explore and engage in whatever relationships they want. Which is nice, because they dont suffer from the brainrot like we do.
>>551883258Absolutely. That mace helps a lot in Act 2 by just being equiped.
>>551918654>It's actually this incredibly deep, complex interpretation of the themes present>Except they're not actually ever addressed or brought upLol.
>>551899778>>551901471>>551903861>>551905821insane mentally-ill schizo. nobody is talking to you. shut the fuck up, mintharatard. bearbroken.
>>551919638You wouldn't be able to eliminate Gortash in the ceremony without a fight (which you can already do), those lords have their bodyguards downstairs and the building is full of steel watchers and banites under Gortash's complete control.
>>551918654You get it. Karlach is happy for the first time in like a decade. Her freakout after killing Gortash about how she's going to die no matter what got me. One criticism I have of Karlach is how every character loves her, its like Halsin.
>>551918472>but that's on the retards who pay for itSome people have a lot of income that they did not work for (taxpayer's/stock/NEPO/trustfund/donations), so wasting it is not something they care for. Also, that type of people - who make and consume that slop - proverbially jerk each other off, so go figure if its "on them" or just a self-perpetuating circlejerk.
Why do people sleep on this weapon?>BUT MUUUUH EVERBUUUURNBLAAAAADEEEE!!!!

Do you get the option in this game to kill all the woke characters?
>>551928368yes
>>551912434Some may not like the slightly "Reddit-zooming" way she expresses herself, but Karlach is actually one of the few, if not the only, characters with a real and unapologetic "I want to live!" theme: she's bursting with life and energy, and I don't mind at all if these characteristics are associated with a character who burns from within.Karlach answers the famous phrase "Better to burn out than fade away" in her own personal way and well, quite literally.In fact, her ever-cheerful and happy personality makes the moment she realizes she doesn't really have a future outside of Avernus and Hell even more heartbreaking: seeing Mama K sad, it guts me every time.>>551914527Not really,truste me there's people, real peole like her, in real life. Ever the optimist, always trying to crack a joke even in the most grim situations. This party desperately needs someone like her
>>551919830Can you explain how Act 2 is perhaps the one with the most "choices & consequences"? It sounds a lot like incoherent pigbabble to me, but maybe you speak its language.>>551920603>nobody is talking to you. Not everything is an attempt to start a discussion. When I state that the default (assumed) party size in 5E is four PCs, that's not up for debate. I am stating a fact, and you can either accept it or rot in your ignorance. The archetypal 5E party is a Fighter, a Cleric, a Wizard, and a Rogue. When the pig states that it has more "fun" with a party three times that size, that's an opinion (and a worthless one). Learn the difference.

D&D, at its core, is a structured game, you incomprehensibly stupid fuck. It is not improv theater (going on stage and "playing an actor"). It is not make-shit-up-as-you-go. It is not any misplaced notion you might have formed from watching too much Critical Role. So yes, the default (assumed) party size is still four PCs, and that is factual, not a personal opinion. D&D can obviously accommodate a slightly smaller or larger party depending on the campaign or adventure, but the default (assumed) party size doesn't change based on your whimsical mood of the moment.>"An appropriately equipped and well-rested party of four adventurers should be able to defeat a monster that has a challenge rating equal to its level without suffering any deaths." (Monster Manual)>"Four characters is the ideal party size." (Rise of Tiamat)>"The adventure is designed for a party of four to six characters." (Curse of Strahd)Four - not nine, not twelve, not whatever-I-feel-like - you obnoxious, worthless attention whore. As for BG3, it is factually designed around a party of four. Only worthless cheaters feel the need to triple the party size. Do keep up shitting the thread by defending cheating and linking to cheats, though - it's what the useful pig has to offer.
>It's another episode of you forgot you were concentrating and casted another concentration spell
>>551937893>Nowhere is it stated, or even implied...Yes. Hence the term "tacit admission." You have to read between the lines. Why does a 500-plus-employee studio need to "explore" the capacities of AI, for fear of falling behind? Larian is no longer that tiny little indie studio from Belgium no one had heard of before D:OS2. Surely, that boundless creativity that was constrained by the very mean WotC during the development of BG3 has no need of any AI crutches. Or maybe not.
>>551944189This is why you only memorize one.

>>551949658>As in 8 charisma?yeah. >I mean you're gonna fail every conversation checkhow fucked will that make me? planning on dark urge tactician. don't know the game super well. was looking at a summoner type build but seeing as spore druid doesn't interest me aesthetically and wizard appears to be a 1 pump chump class it looks like I'm going death domain cleric. >Just remember to swap to another character with high charisma for shopping.noted.
>>551949181there cool dialogue options for WIS and INT too, CHA is not the only one that shines in dialogues
>>551950205Charisma in this game for the most part covers both persuasion and deception checks, however there are speech checks that instead rely on any other stat, so you're not a total autist in dialogue.However, it's worth noting that Bards, Sorcerers and Warlocks use Charisma as their spell modifier for damage.
>>551949658You can switch to another character with high Charisma for speech checks yeah but that means you have to bring Wyll who sucks ass with you.
WHY CANT NIGGA SUCCEED DECEPTION CHECK ON GITH PATROL???
>>551953315name their band, I'll start>Jaheira & the Gaslighters
>>551953430froggo and the hags
Barcus can join you at the teifling party if you've invited him to camp and has unique dialogue. I'm still finding new stuff after 5 playthoughs.
>>551953671so you did Grymforge before the grove? interesting
I love Shadowheart. I can't even conceive of romancing someone else, making love to Shadowheart feels every bit as canon as getting a tadpole put into your head. Just part of the story.
>>551949181>>55195020510 CHA is fine. You can afford the two extra points. It is recommended to gain proficiency in a CHA skill, with Persuasion and Intimidation being the most useful overall. Since you're planning to play as the Dark Urge, Intimidation is covered by your background already. The difference between 10 and 20 CHA is a flat 25%, though it matters less with bonuses - having "only" a 65% chance of success instead of 90% is acceptable. You need the ever-useful Guidance from your Cleric. Enhance Ability (Eagle's Splendor) would be ideal for Advantage on CHA checks, but you need the appropriate class for it. There are items that provide bonuses as well, which I won't spoil. And then you have Inspiration points - save these for the more difficult checks, and you'll be fine.
>>551954172Magic Initiate is solid too since that lets you pick up Friends.

Dark Urge doing that horse lip thing when he kisses Astarion.
>>551928906>>551936640>>551943924halsin fucked minthara too by the way you mentally ill trannybearbroken
>>551956215Holy based..??
>sharter brings up halsina tale as old as time
>>551954020>I love Shadowheart.Even her prejudice?
>>551956861You still love her more than Manthara
What are the benefits and drawbacks of saving Sazza from the Grove?
>>551957519Mandatory if you want to save all the tieflings for the achievement.
>>551957519Addendum: can I save Sazza, get her to the Blighted Village/Shattered Sanctum, and then turn against the goblins, and knock out Minthara for recruitment later, without killing Sazza?>>551958247Why's that?
>>551958427Because if Sazza is dead then some Tieflings are auto-killed in Act 2 and there's no way to prevent it. Sazza herself is the reason they live.
>>551959116So then it's possible to free Sazza, but still side with the Grove against the goblins, and knock out Minthara for recruitment later? Does Sazza become hostile during the fight against the goblins? I guess I would knock her out as well so that she can survive to go to Moonrise. Am I able to save both Sazza and Minthara at Moonrise if they both survive Act I?
>>551958427>>551959542I think this is everything.>Save Sazza from Arka>Go to the Blighted Village and get all the XP there you can>Rescue Sazza from the grove>Convince Minthara to spare Sazza>Wait for Sazza to leave Minthara’s room>Knock out Minthara>Finish the goblin leaders then leave the camp>If Sazza fights you, knock her out too
I got the save tiefling achievement even though Zevlor died
Did Orin rape Zevlor?
>>551963578Orin raped everyone.
>>551963993You'll have to keep wanting, all this game has is laezel, the lifted truck of companions
only lefties hate lifted trucks tho
Bex forced into strip dancing to put food on the table for the refugees, yay/nay?
>>551963884>>551963578Orin raped Dark Urge while mincing his brains.
>>551961508Does this look right to everyone?
>>551966071No.
>>551963993Kek, I forgot about that one
>>551840226I wished I was this optimistic, but to me it seems that larian is going down the same route most game studios do, they get progressively more woke with each year. I mean, didn't they seethe about people not liking wyll? And that most people just wanted to play white human males?
>>551968346hm kinda cute frog
>>551968724>And that most people just wanted to play white human males?No, this is a really obvious joke that brainless schizo faggots have spammed for years to persuade you
>>551969234nta but wasn't that what Larian found based off user data during early access?
>>551966579What's missing?
>>551971075They made a joke about it, a lot of subversive faggots tried to portray it as actual outrage so they could sell a culture war narrative to dumbasses.
>>551971635Black representation
>>551958247You don't need Sazza alive for Leave No One Behind.
>>551971728Because you know for a fact Larian would have never made that "joke" if the most common PC was black.
>>551898178his heart belongs to Sebastian
yep sebastian was his first
AYO THIS NIGGA NEEDS TO SPEND RESOURCES TO CAST SPELLS
>>551956861you're the sharter, and you got bearbroken, and now you've been larping as a mantharafag ever since because you can't handle the BIG BEAR COCK
>Literally have not conversed with Halsin once since I left him in the Grove>Finish Act 2>BUT YOUR PAIN OF LEAVING THE LAND CURSED CAN NEVER COMPARE TO HALSIN'S WHO'S SUDDENLY BEHIND YOU
My Shart obsession is getting worse, I really wish I had a going-into-games-machine
>>551988943Take the halsinpill
>>551988943I don't like how the narrator says you're sad about leaving the land cursed when you're an evil Durge that's left literally nothing but hundreds of corpses in your wake.My friend and I never play seriously when we play BG3 together, so we genocide literally everything except the companions we want to keep for eye candy. Literally everything is dead, the women, the children, the druids, the goblins, everything, even Ethel. All of Lastlight is personally killed by ME, not the curse, but by us doing it ourselves. I am the most evil, I do not give a shit that the land is still cursed.
>>551990074I left the land cursed because I thought the Shadowsong fixed it during the whole flight cutscene and assumed that WAS the cure for the land. I'm presuming there's an actual quest to get rid of the shadow shit that I missed.
>>551990483There is. Talk to the Flaming Fist at the bed in Lastlight next playthrough, then tell Halsin about it.
Why are Minthara's Vicious Mockery quotes so much better than the others? Between this and her special lyre I'm starting to think she's intended to be a bard

>>551996036I think she is my first true waifu.. I see her and I get dopamine and butterflies
>>551890332i only realised there are SHORT rests on my second run(used aoe heal post every encounter during my first runwas fun though>>551929580>Whoa whoa whoa! What's the mod that tells you how companions will react!?this onehttps://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2631?tab=description
I'm going to go against the grain a bit and say the best BG3 girl is actually Harper Lassandra
>>551988943or better yet>early act 3>only spoke with halsin in act 2 last time, and only because i had to progress the quest>never asked him any personal questions>never made any observations>never spoke with him more than the absolute minimum necessary>was never in my party>halsin: BRO LET ME FUCK YOUR ASS BRO I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU DAY AND NIGHT BRO WE ARE SOULMATES BRO
