Minthara's Fate Edition>News:Patch 8: https://baldursgate3.game/news/the-final-patch-new-subclasses-photo-mode-and-cross-play_138Patch 7: https://baldursgate3.game/news/patch-7-now-live_121Patch 6: https://baldursgate3.game/news/patch-6-now-live_108Patch 5: https://baldursgate3.game/news/patch-5-now-live_99>Wiki:https://bg3.wiki>Mods:https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/>FAQ:>Q: How often should I long rest?>A: Many companion and romance interactions occur when long resting. 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: >>552774460

>>553049596DEX is still the best ability by a pretty large margin.
>>553049596A jump spell will give more distance than very high strength
For me, it's constitution.
>>553050296>Not 20 Strength + Enhance Leap maxxing
>>553050276It depends entirely on the class. There are numerous very strong builds which dump DEX entirely (eldritch knight for instance). CHA and CON are at least as important for most or all classes.

Which party members would be most likely to give up their tight asshole and do anal?
>>553052327Lae'zel is a certified freak who outright implies she does anything and everything.
>>553051646he will NEVER be a woman
>>553052327Shadowheart has done way worse than anal as a follower of Shar and you know Gale let Mystra diddle his butthole at the very least.
>>553051449Do you ever contribute interesting screenshots of your own or are you just here to whine?
>>553052327Lae’zel has definitely done this before meeting the PC
>>553052820I’m split because I want Wulbren to give me explosives to blow the shit out of the factory but I also want Shadowheart to lead the sharrans. If you tell the deep gnomes to paddle around in the water and don’t lead them to Last Light will they still survive to act 3 even if the moon shield goes down?
What?What the fuck does she mean? Did I have to long rest more during act 2? I didn't even know you could fail your romance ffs
>>553057218ditched you for wyll’s bbc yt boi
>>553056926I'm not sure, but you could play it safe by killing Isobel before saving Wulbren.
>>553057218>>553057372>pursuing romanceHa. You fell for it. Never pursue a romance.
>>553057218should have gone with the frog

People always rate Hold Person highly, yet whenever I'm actually in a battle where I'd need it, the targets in question are never classed as humanoid.
>>553061039>you'd hate real D&D 5e.I already do
I love Minthara, and Swen will always be based for giving us a happily ever after marriage ending with an evil drow princess.
>>553060592Hold Monster for non-humanoids.
>>553061039Does tabletop have Medium Armor Master, because then I’m thinking>deep gnome hand crossbow STEALTH fighters
>>553061306only gayle gets married
>>553061491Right, but that's a Lv5 spell. I'd rather just kill them at that point.
>>553060592BEHOLD
>>553061940You realize the point of the spell is to kill them>>553062143>no automatic hits>no automatic crits>no free sneak attacks
>>553062234>You realize the point of the spell is to kill themAnd Hold Person does a terrible job of that because like 60% of the enemies in this game aren't humanoid, and the most dangerous enemies in this game are non-humans. So the result is Hold Person has never had any value in my experience beyond specific encounters like the Creche.So again, I'd rather use my other Lv5+ spells to just OHKO them.
>>553060592>a battle where I'd need itYou mean like the gith monks?
>>553062487>You mean like the gith monks?Is that fight meant to be hard or something?
>>553062442If the enemy is weak enough to get bursted down by a single Lv4- spell you don’t “need” to hold them anyways, and there are many powerful humanoid enemies in this game like >>553062487
>>553061686Been years since I did it, but yes.I was able to kill her after Ketheric by avoiding Aylin in the throne room by taking a side door, then assassinating Isobel in the room before the throne room. People will look for the assailant or murderer though during and after for a bit, obviously. You can also just kill her after you start the assault on moonrise, barely anyone will be in Last Light at that point, though anyone still there will die after you kill her in both of these options I think?
>>553061686>>553062808Also, I think if you recruit Jaheira after killing Ketheric but before killing Isobel, the approval hit would make her instantly leave if you care. I know Isobel walking on a damaging surface does that, lol.
>>553061306That is an incredibly unflattering picture of her.
>>553063918looks like the average minthara picture to me
>>553063690>reading the 200th hag sex hag sex hag sex post
>>553060592The best use of Hold Person is during the Inquisitor fight in Act 1, which is probably one of the toughest fights in the game relative to the party's expected level.
>>553052820>she used to date a gnomeIt's so over bros...https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/7905
shouldn't have clicked on that
That trailer made my kid cry
I have seen a video which had dynamic cut-in zooms on enemies dying, is that some kind of mod or something?
>>553060592>hold person>hold monster (the cooler hold person)
We love BG3 & Larian studios
Which classes have the funniest dialogue checks in the game?Hard Mode: No BardI vote Barbarian.
>>553063505
>>553070070I’ve never run a bard so I have no idea what their unique dialog is like
>>553071681It's the smug comedy dialogue class. The only time it gets remotely serious is when it interacts with other bards about music. It's also only just lagging a smidge behind Paladin for total checks, with Barbarian in first.If you want an absolutely miserable experience, pick Human Ranger. I think you have like <200 total combined checks across the entire game.
>>553067152Early Access had it, they took it out in the final.
>Look up guides on how dexterity and armor class work in tandem>Still don't get it
Is Act 3 worth finishing? The momentum from Act 1 and 2 seems to have died.
>>553077025you should finish the game at least once to see the epiloge, raphael's dungeon and some of the companion's final quests, it's worth it
>>553077025The first segment of Act 3 is really dogshit outside of the circus. Explore a little for the sake of it, have the meeting with Gortash, and then move on to the next area which is way better.
>>553076775Okay, allow me to explain as far as I understand it.At 10 Dexterity, you have a +0 bonus modifier. Meaning you're reliant on just the AC from gear.At 14 Dexterity, you have a +2 bonus modifier.At 18 Dexterity, you have a +4 bonus modifier.etc.Light armor gets the full bonus modifier. Meaning if you have a Dex of 18, your light armor gets +4 AC.Medium armor only gets the +2 modifier at maximum, so your Dex should never exceed 14 for medium.Heavy armor gets zero bonus, ever. So Dex beyond 10 is absolutely worthless if you intend to use this armor.
>>553076775every 2 dex is 1 aconly goes up to 2 more ac from dex if you're in medium armor unless otherwise specifieddoes not interact at all with heavy armor

>>553071998Ranger may not get a ton of dialogue but what it gets is cool as hell.
>>553071998>one of ranger's dialogue options is in the fucking epilogue with wyll
top tier art direction glad they still got it
Take the Wyllpill
>>553049289Should I give the Githyanki egg to the lady in act 1?
>>553082824no let lae'zel take care of it
>>553082824Give her the owlbear egg instead
>>553052327Halsin. The others take some time before they make advances. Halsin basically jumps right on the cawk
Turns out there's a Deep Rothe in the Grymforge that can give a whole lore dump about Ketheric and alludes to him being alive still if you use speak with animals. Neat.
it really pisses me off how dwarfs and horcs don't have a voice frequency/accent unique to their race, i hope they won't fuck this up in their next game>>553088959yeah, animals in general have a tons of dialogues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgsgaDqdxUw
>>553083214I adore how she instantly goes into mother mode the moment she gets close to that egg.
>>553061306>drow princess.Is Minthara even that important to the drow? She's from Baenre but her role in the story feels like she's way down the totem pole. The drow never try to retrieve her from the Absolute or even really seem to care that she's gone, the drow she can meet like the vampire fetishist never acknowledge who she is, and she was given a retinue of like 4 guys at most to investigate Ketheric
what would be shart like if she didn't get abducted when she was a child?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIyixC9NsLI
>>553057218>Did I have to long rest more during act 2?Yes, camp is where the majority of romance dialogue occurs.
>>553093420>Is Minthara even that important to the drow?hell no, she's only a big deal because she's a member of the most powerful drow house, she's just a noble that smites lolth's enemies that's it, the drow capital is full of those
why can't we eat this?
>>553098658i think you can as durge
ssfsfsfsfs tila tequila to me!
>WIS class has unique INT roll??
is people doing pic related why you can't change the companion's appearance without modding the game?
>>553099693Those rolls don't necessarily use their usual ability score. Durge has a stealth roll using strength to hide the body after murdering the bard etc.
>>553101140are*
>>553101140MaybeMaybe notGive me a minute I'll ask my friend swen
The biggest victim of hold person Doesn't even have legendary resistance or good wisdom savesJust one hold person and you turn off all his annoying bullshit and burst him down in one turn
>>553093420>The drow never try to retrieve her from the Absolute or even really seem to care that she's goneThat's a surfacer way of thinking. Minthara lost her place in House Baenre the moment she failed and was captured. The Lolth-sworn do not tolerate weakness or failure, and she is one of the many expendable daughters, not an important matron. Minthara went even further by committing the ultimate transgression of apostasy. "Drow princess" is just an affectionate nickname used by Mintharafag. The fact that she is a relatively unimportant daughter is actually good, because it means she is free to shape her own future instead of being constrained by any rigid canon.

many of the questions on twitter are about people wondering if there will be characters like the dragonborns in bg3, it's almost as if lizard races were always popular in RPGs
The parasite cannot comprehend that no one gives a shit about what Swen last tweeted.
>>553107121I wonder if the live will have more views than some of bg3 early access's streams, it'll be a great way to gauge how popular larian is after bg3 became such a big hit
the devs that made bg3, the game of the year 2023 btw
>Try killing Wyll before the Grove raid to keep him around for Act 2>Expect to just revive him after the Goblin party>Fight the entire Grove a man down to get it worked out>He auto-resurrects when the party startsI get the feeling things are not going to go as planned.

I wonder if we'll get portraits of the BG3 origins in divinity just like bg3 did as a cute reference to the dos2 characters, I hope we'll only see references to the baldur's gate 3 origins, the last thing I wanna see is halsin and minthara's ugly mug in another larian game let these ''characters'' rot lmao

>>553136274HOLY SIGMARBLESS THIS RAVAGED BODY
>>553136274giant barbarian throws people around like nothingotherwise any character with 20+ strength can throw around normal-sized characters to a lesser degree
>>553139517Berserker barbarian beats Giant for throwing creatures because of the bonus action throw it gets, imo. All you really need is high strength and tavern brawler. Giant doesn't get its bonus action throw until level 10. It does get some funky shit it can do by throwing its own weapon thanks to item interactions with elemental cleaver though.
>>553139315Don't ever put that stupid hat on Lae'zel again.

act 1 takes fuckign forever to completewhat were they thinking making a game so loaded during the first bit, of course people will never reach act 3
>>553154520Main issue is that Act 1 includes the Underdark, Grymforge, Mountain pass and Gith creche.Remove those and Act 1 is suddenly not too far off from Act 2 in terms of size.I like those areas but they feel very optional and make up a sizeable chunk of Act 1.
>>553155353which one of thsoe areas do you feel its optional? they all seem very important to me, unless you dont care about characters like laezel or saving the grove or going to grymforge
>>553154520The most tedious parts in act 1 are levels 3 and 4 when you have no extra attacks and cantrips are worse than light crossbows. Level 5 onwards is considerably more fun to play
>>553157461I'm not really talking about the quality of content, it's just the sheer amount of itfuck, there blighted village, the phase spider, and then you can go back for the sussur tree weapon, and then there's the hag, but wait there's also a secret wizard tower and there's also a secret cult and there's also the creche which is similar to the goblin camp but not quiteand theres minotaurs and theres dragon fights and thenact 2 is like, 3 skippable bossfightsa dungeonand a final bossfightmake it make sense goddamit!
>>553157749Technically it's 5 skippable bossfights, Shadow-cursed shambling mound and Oliver are optional.
>>553158160im even more angry now
>>553158319Wulbren Bongle did nothing wrong.
>>553158452Barcus....
Sex with Kagha
Hmm I think I'll now play a hot drow ladyWith the hair that covers her right eye and cute frecklesYes yesAnd I think I'll make it a dark urge playthoughPerhaps romance Astarion as wellThat sounds like a good plan
>>553157461post frog heh
>>553157749NOOOO THERE'S TOO MUCH HECKIN CONTENT IN MY GAME! WHY DIDN'T SVEN DRIP FEED IT VIA MICROTRANSACTIONS AND A BATTLEPASS INSTEAD???
>>553157749i mean you alone control your playing pace. sounds like you just have a pacing problem
>>553158809>drow>cute freckles
>>553158671Barcus is a creepy stalker who doesn’t know how to take a hint.
>>553158809you like drow girls?I love 'emI LOVE 'EM>>553159120great way to add to this conversation>>553159251its not really about pacing, its that this game at some point had some major rewriting issues that stripped down other Acts of their content, so now we have a Act 1 filled to the brim with stuff to do, reactivity and c&C; then there's act 2, that feels kind of fast paced and with way less content compared to Act 1 and it feels like all the budget went to the big finale reveal of this act; and then with Act 3 we have this weird section with a lot of stuff to do and also a sense of urgency, but you can feel there's also a lot of shit that was left on the cutting room's floor (cazadors mansion, karlachs story, the upper city, etc)
>>553154520I liked that about it. Act 2 was too constrained for me, and Act 3 is just like that too. I wish there was more of coastal biome in Act 1 and Act 3. A haunted but not shadow-cursed forest would have been nice too, although i could just take raiding the army camp and its outliers for Act 2 and be quite happy with that. I also wish there was more of underdark, with an optional beholder fight and a craftable wand from its eye.I feel like there is not enough content, area-wise. Not every area needs to be chock-full of stuff.
>>553155705>which one of thsoe areas do you feel its optional?Underdark and especially Grymforge feel very optional, at least for their seize.With the creche you can at least make the argument that it ties into the artifact, its power, who is inside and also sets up the Orpheus, Vlaakith and Emperor dilemma in Act 3.Grymforge essentially is just a giant setup to explain how Ketheric's army was destroyed - which is just not relevant for the plot of the game, it sets up the mystery of how the Dark Justiciars where destroyed, which is revealed to be Yurgir / Raphael in Act 2 / 3.Even if you want to argue that Raphael is that relevant to the main story (he's not), that specific element is just wholly irrelevant for his motivation to be involved in the main plot.The entire idea of going through the Underdark is to reach Moonrise towers safely, but that falls flat on its face because the entrance you enter Act 2 from Grymforge is on the north side of the map, while Moonrise is south and does not bypass the curse at all.Like, all you are interested in Grymforge is actually to reach the Shadow cursed lands, which you can do the moment you step into Grymforge.You're warned that there's a curse up there and Nere has some way to protect himself against it, but that turns out to be a red herring as his Moonlantern is always broken.Don't get me wrong, i like the area but the narrative element of how it ties into the main story is a complete mess - presumably a a result that the entire Underdark / Mountain Pass split is nonsense.
>>553157749Act 1 was in EA for 3 years, the rest of the game was hastily thrown together in the spawn of a few months when the EA bux went dry and the meanies at Wotc started demanding Larian fulfill the contract and publish a game.
>>553162589>The entire idea of going through the Underdark is to reach Moonrise towers safely...the first time I discovered the Arcane Tower I thought it was Moonrise.....
As a man I want to fuck the hambeast that is Karlach and have her lay on top of meAs a human being though I wouldn't touch that bull ringed reddit incarnation with a 20 foot ice poleThese are the dilemmas one must face when playing Baldur's gate
>>553163028On my first playthrough I thought the Creche and the Goblin camp were mutually exclusive so after clearing the camp I wanted to get read to go through the pass that lies there. Then I decided to go look for Astarion because I missed him in that stupid spot. Then I decided to look for a hidden treasure marked on my map, which led me to stumble on Ethel. Then I stumbled on the spiders through the well. Then the underdark... And it took me like what, 90 hours something insane like that to do everything. At the end of Act 1 I had to take a break. Act 1 is bloated, it really should have just been the Goblin camp and then you move on to Baldurs Gate and from there you have an open world until the ending confrontation with Ketheric at Moonrise (who is the big bad, not this the Baldurs Gate three bullshit)

it's crazy that it's literally easier to make a heavy armor wizard than a heavy armor barbarian or a heavy armor monk
>>553177085Throw barb is cool.What is a barb's casting stat, anyway? Cha? A hexblade berzerker could be neat, and probably better than giant.

Anyone know what the fuck causes this and how to fix it? Never had an issue with it until recently and it seems to pop up without rhyme or reason. Already updated my graphics drivers.

>>553093420She's basically a priestess from a branch family who has the name but never made high priestess and is stuck as a paladin doing the make-work, who thinks she's much more important than she really is.It's like being a princess, except you're the eighth of twelve and your older siblings also have kids of their own, so you're way down the succession. Princess? Yes. Important? No.
I hope that we'll get a custom origin like dark urge in their next game
>>553190005What hair is that?
>>553191327Dark Urge gets so much praise I think they'd be stupid to not do an equivalent for Divinity.If there's a tried and true character narrative out there that always hooks people, it's the spiritually evil being trying their hardest to change.

>Learning about three dips of Rogue Thief into anything martial based9 Open Hand Monk / 3 Rogue Thief is just fucking disgusting.
>>553195773Action economy is more powerful than any stat boost, because deficiency in stats can be made up with equipment and potions. Once you learn this, the game becomes comically easy even on Honour mode. Being able to do 3-4 attacks per turn every turn is always better than 1-2. This is why Fighter and Rogue dominate multi-classing.

What's that build you enjoy that nobody else is even acknowledges?
>>553205959*nobody else even acknowledgesFeh, forgot to delete the "is."
>>553205959Anything and everything that innately maximizes jump distance, because it's fucking funny, alongside the myriad of benefits it gives for a bonus action. Avoiding difficult terrain, complicated geometry, and opportunity attacks.Keeping in mind the game hardcaps jump distance at 100 ft, a great combo is Lv 3 Wildheart Barbarian / Tiger Heart + Lv9 Monk (Any).>20 strength jump = 32 ft>Barbarian's Rage: Tiger Heart = +15 ft>Monk's Advanced Unarmoured Movement = +20ft>Athlete = +50%>Result = 100.5 ftDoing it this way means I can maximize all my equipment elsewhere.
>hey guys here's this awesome OP build which you will complete by the end of act 3 :)

Death cleric can bypass necrotic resistance but if you used poison, lol
Got the itch to start up a new run but got a question. Did they ever fix that bladesinger bug where other party members start using their animations and if they haven't fixed it is there any way to intentionally invoke it? Gonna do a dex martial(still figuring out what it is) using the finesse longswords and while I like the bladesinger animations I want to keep this bastard at least 66% martial
>>553211805>bladesinger bug where other party members start using their animationsNot sure what you mean by this. I was running a bladesinger recently for the first time and nothing seemed wrong. Everything felt good while playing unless I just totally missed something.
>>553211805Had it happen to enemy npcs a few days ago, no idea what triggers it
>>553211805Wasn't fixed last october when I played bladesinger.
>>553211805No, they never fixed it. Fucking annoying because the only fix is reloading a save prior to it happening. Not even respeccing fixes it.
I wonder what they will reveal in an hour, maybe a few concept arts?
Hey guys just setting up for the presentation, we have lots of news about DoS3 and patch 9. Make sure you tune in.
>>553212660thanks swen vincke, ceo of larian studios and director of the award winning games dos1,dos2 & bg3
>>553211978So the bug is that after some amount of time of a bladesinger in your party or some other reason other characters start using the bladesinger's unique animations for their attacks. Game finished installing so I checked and yeah it still seems to work albeit inconsistently. Using one of the method listed on the wiki(having the person you want the bug to trigger on spam casting a spell like guidance on the bladesinger) they started using the longsword animations for the bladesinger despite being a mono-class cleric>>553212132>>553212162>>553212194Oh good so I'm not just randomly lucky. None of the other 3 party members I have planned will use a bladesinger weapon so I should be able to avoid the goofiness of everyone doing spins and shit even if I trigger it intentionally.
There's going to be a livestream or something? Link?
>>553212978Q&A on reddit
>>553213062Ah gayProbably no bg news then
>>553212978the devs will have a live and read questions on reddit, we didn't get a link yet
>>553210347Honestly the only build I can think of that comes even close to coming online in Act 1 is Giant Throwbarian.>Ring of Flinging>Returning Pike>Tavern BrawlerThat's it, that's your game plan and necessary items until you acquire Nyrulna in Act 3, which is just Returning Pike+.
I wonder if they will finally add sliders, that was definitely what bg3 was lacking, I couldn't even make a fat or skinny tav
>wall of fire+kobold wine roombest part of the act
>>553213749Technically a skinny tav could just be a gith. Fat tavs are icky so less need for those.
>>553213870>Fat tavs are icky so less need for those.nah a fat cleric tav would have been peak
Which class got the best dialogue options? It's probably barbarian but to get those you need to play a barbarian so that sucks
>>553210347This is why in multiplayer I ended up defaulting to moon druid. I don't need items, the breakpoint levels are early on and I can just chill while my partners do their checklist of crap they need. Plus I get to use the excuse of being wildshaped to avoid being the designated quest/talking monkey.
>>553214042Barbarian bard paladin and sorcerer
>>553214042Barbarian for the retard strength solves everything options. Tons of unique animated prompts nobody else even gets close to mimicking, not even Fighter.Bard for the smug know-it-all dialogue options where you wax poetical while calling someone the medieval equivalent of a dribbling retard. Astarion will practically dive into your pussy with this class.>>553214581Sorcerer's dialogue options are lame. They're all just "I could kill you right now... with magic."
You just know the chat will keep bringing up dragonborns and lizards
>>553214713Fighters got the shittiest dialogue in the gameI guess they thought no one would want to play it since it's your first companion class
>>553213749I hope that we'll get more diverse faces I couldn't make a decentish looking twink without using plenty of mods, we definitely need more bodytypes you're right
What would be a good class/multiclass option for a sort of witch build? As in like fey or hag type of witch? I was thinking they'd be close thematically to a druid, but mechanically something like a fey warlock + wild magic sorcerer would make more sense? Trying to come up with ideas for an evil durge.
Soooo fuck wyll and his fans I guess?
>>553215493yeah
>>553215493he and his fans are icky so no fucking thank you
>>553215028Witch/Hag/Fey in my mind equals rancid nature and charming people against their will. So for a thematic build, I'd go >MainCircle of Spores Druid>Additional class (you pick)Nature Domain ClericCollege of Glamour BardSwarmkeeper Ranger
Roll a durge Wyll? Yes, yes I Wyll
>>553215493they literally sent larian writers death threads on twitter they're lucky wyll isn't getting retconned in bg4
>>553216448who said he isn't
https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1q870w5/larian_studios_divinity_ama/the AMA is up, the devs will answer in 8 minutes, I recognize a ton of people that worked in baldur's gate 3, the lead writer, director, head of design, art director are keeing their bg3 roles for divinity, them having a machine learning director is pretty sussy though, they're definitely using AI
The insufferable parasite treats the thread like its personal diary. Shame we don't have enough people left to report it as spam.
>>553217471I'm literally talking about bg3 devs, what they learned from baldur's gate 3 and the studio's future endeavors??
>>553215028Shadow Sorcerer is a stronger thematic fit. Archfey Warlock as a dip.
oh shit I didn't notice kevin vanord is there too, that's the guy that wrote laezel and wyllin bg3, I hope that no one will bring up wyll and the way he was treated in bg3
>>553217350For the 100th time they also used ai in bg3 and nobody cared back then
Is it just me or playing as a "good guy" is really annoying in this game? Especially the whole tiefling daycare shit.I'm on my first playthrough and just beat Ketheric, and considering starting over as dark urge.
>>553217815How do you write utter perfection like Lae'zel and then shit out Wyll?
>>553218032I don't fucking know lmao they feel like they had two different writers, laezel is the total package, great design, great voice actress, great story, meanwhile everything about wyll is dogshit
>She's whining again
>>553218032>>553218183wasn't he completely rewritten after EA? i don't know the inner workings of the company, but it probably wasn't his decision, so writing a goody two-shoes warlock either can't be done whimsically or can't be done at all
>>553218831consolebros...
>>553218831We're off to a stellar start.
>dos1,dos2 and bg3 start in a beachoh shit swimming confirmed??? I wonder if they used some animations from the shadowheart romance in bg3 act 3 or just moccapped the shit out of feature
>>553219269attaboy, keep using machine learning but get gen AI out of games' artstyles
>The BG3 approach of handcrafting every magic item worked well, and it's something we've always wanted to do for DOS2.>Something we realized when working on randomized loot for DOS1 and DOS2 is that fully random loot is frequently confusing, so we added more and more rules and premade patterns to make it feel more intentional. In the end randomization did not save us much time.they'll bring back bg3's itemization yay
>Sadly we got cock blocked by WOTC. If only we had seen Baezels obsession with sweaty balls.............
>Swen:We had all the freedom we needed on BG3 but the game was based on 5e which is a system that was made for tabletop, not for video games. Most of the limitations came from that.swen can't stop calling bg3's ruleset limiting, you just know he also hates concentrations
>>553219829thank fucking goodness.
What does this mean
>>553213539Nah there's a couple. Most thanks to one single feat, but still. >Open Hand Monk>Giant Barbarian>Druid (Any)>Berserker Barbarian>Hexblade Warlock>College of Swords Bard>Death Domain Cleric>Eldritch Knight FighterI can't stand playing anything not in the same ballpark as the above. Everything else demands a specific item from Act 2 or 3, or doesn't come online till you're Lv12, or requires multi-classing. These all immediately start pulling stupid numbers by Lv4, and only get better across the entire game. The idea that I'm playing the framework of a class for 40-60 hours is pure ass cancer to me, concentrated negative fun.
>>553221004better cinematics, more complex quests and reactivity >cool new friendsmaybe their companions will be even more complex idk
>another dnd game made by larian got cancelledwas that bg4? I doubt they would have wanted to make bg4 smaller than bg3, could it have been a stand alone set in the dnd world?
How much am I losing on a melee warlock if I pick Archfey instead of Hexblade? Purely flavor reasons.
>>553221906>even more complexbg3 companions are not one bit complexThey barely interact with each other
>>553222118You get extra attack either way, will only miss medium armor and shields
>>553222130they react to literally anything you say or do in act 1 and remind you of things you've done or said in previous acts how is that not complex
>>553219829>>553220482Ironic. The same "limitations" of 5E are to thank for BG3's markedly superior itemization. A half-plate is 15 AC and a plate is 18 AC. Wield a shield for +2 AC. Simple. Boundaries are necessary to prevent devolving into a Diablo-like itemization, where every piece of gear contributes a certain amount and "armor" becomes yet another stat, granular enough to reach the thousands. There is a significant mechanical difference between 20 and 25 AC, but not necessarily between 2000 and 2500 armor. You cannot "handcraft" items in such a system beyond assigning a vague range. And if you copy the simplicity of 5E, with its bounded accuracy (and therefore AC values), then you've successfully walked back your opinion on the so-called "limitations" of the system as far as itemization is concerned. It's clear that Swen is just a PR man at this point, not a game designer.
>>553223865>It's clear that Swen is just a PR man at this point, not a game designer.Swen Vincke is Larian.
>>553224389
>>553224389>I ENVOKE SHAPE OF BMW 3-SERIES
Why?
>>553223982Then it's a shame for Larian that he has no idea what he's talking about. Some of the best CRPGs are based on tabletop rules, whether we talk about D&D (BG2, IWD2, NWN, BG3) or the D&D-adjacent Pathfinder (Kingmaker, WotR). Probably because the very genre is rooted in tabletop games. Clearly, adapting tabletop RPGs for video games has never been an issue for competent developers. "The machine does the math for you" is not an excuse for a poorly-designed system that imitates Diablo itemization.
>>553225150>dnd is limiting and not made for video games>big daddy swen
>>553225150making magic/elemental weapon a concentration spell was absolutely wyll tier>yea i'm going to enchant my weapon and from here on out i will only spend my slots on misty step, mirror image and smite (multiclass mandatory because the one fucking smite that warlocks get is a concentration spell too)>but i get to choose from 20 spells (concentration) :)holy fucking shit
companion romancing each other kiiiiinda confirmed? a lot of people wanted to ship their companions in bg3
>>553225150I think the most egregious one of all is web. Fucking WEB.
>>553222118A lot of hexblade's appeal is already baked into pact of the blade so as the other anon said you mainly lose out on shields and medium armor which you can still get from multiple sources and you could also aim to take advantage of potent robes so really the shield(as a spell and as a proficiency) is the main loss. That said hexblade features tend to be generally more useful than archfey with the main advantage of them all rewarding you for doing what you already do(ie: whacking shit in melee). That said it mainly comes down to better critfishing and uncontrollable summons so its not that important
here's a super duper important question about whether they're happy to have listened to the fans for having rewritten some companions especially in bg3's first act
>>553220482Ehh it has its pros and cons like any system. Besides D:OS 1 and 2 are hardly perfect with 1 getting EE to fix a lot of things and 2 still containing divisive issues that the DE didn't fully address. I'm optimistic but I'm not exactly sure what to expect for the D:OS3 system. Presumably it will still keep its freeform classless system but I do wonder how much 5E we'll see in its DNA
>>553227275they already confirmed that they'll keep the way they desinged bg3's armors and weapons and won't bring back dos2's obnoxious armors and gear system, I have no idea how they'll stop us from stunlocking enemies though
>>553225150Eyebite and hold person require concentration and have 3 levels between them and one is still infinitely superior to the other
swen wants every races to feel unique unlike baldur's gate 3 where the race's choice doesn't really affect the character's build, it's such a shame that drows don't have the sunlight debuff in bg3 like in the tabletop, that was such a cool weakness, all in all the devs are proud of bg3 but they definitely know what people's gripes with the game were
>>553227075I mean the sanding down of the meanness was necessary by Act 3. You had companions with max affinity still being genuine cunts to one another before the rewrites.
>>553226330What would happen if you made Web not a Concentration spell? Then the same spellcaster could Web enemies then drop a Cloud of Daggers at their feet. Any AoE crowd control spell worth a damn should require Concentration.
>>553227441I'm running under the assumption that they'll shift away again from the D:OS 2 armor system in terms of status effects and make status effects chance based again. In terms of limiting us maybe they'll introduce other resources like source to limit ability use instead of just C/D or they might add debuff resist to prevent chain CC who knows
>>553228203The solution is to make them exist for X turns and then disappear
>>553228045idk I feel like characters like laezel or shadowheart should be utter cunts in act 1 even with high approval, like, shadowheart telling you her greatest fear literally an hour after starting the game despite being a cleric of shar, the goddess of SECRECY is just bad writing and speeds things way too much + it would make characters that are already friendly like wyll more unique
>>553228294No, that is not a solution in a game where fights are decided within 3 rounds on average.
>>553228314>idk I feel like characters like laezel or shadowheart should be utter cunts in act 1they are though if you aren't simping for them like the turbocuck you are
>>553228402Great, so we're still in an impasse where concentration spells aren't worth using unless they manipulate dice rolls in your favor or deal sixty gorillion damage.
>>553228473
>No dude you see concentration spells need to be easily interrupted because it'd lead to broken combos!>Anyhow for this run here's my super cheese build that OTKOs any enemy in the game regardless of HP total using Haste and 3 levels of Rogue Thief to give me 2 actions and 2 bonus actions per turn
>>553228648congrats on picking all the "correct" options, missing content and then pretending it doesn't exist, bravo
>>553228908Of course she's tired, she's ancient
so many people are bringing up wyll and asking larian to not make companions as shit as him again it's hilarious
>>553228314Shadowheart is a super poor Sharran which is a plot point. A true believer would be like Viconia.
>>553229248that's the thing I don't like shadowheart being a terrible sharran either, it makes the brainwashing twist lamer if she doesn't feel liek a sharran
>>553225162everyone running around with 8 int because it's useless is bad design
>Lizard romancss fucking confirmed. BASEDASEDSeen, I know you are here. Turbo based.
>>553229419A good sharran would get herself killed before revealing her allegiance, or the artefact, so 90% of the players wouldn't find out she was brainwashed.
>>553229592Oh boy I can't wait for another MALE lizard instead of the long awaited lizard pussy we all desire.
>>553229670Mods will do the job.
>We have a pretty diverse Art team here in Larian, so it’s hard to pinpoint anything specific. We love too many things and we spend way too much time talking about all the cool games, art, comics or just geeking over a post on Artstation. Thankfully this works to our benefit as we do like to make big and diverse games at Larian, and Divinity will be no different. What we found out to be valuable sources of inspiration are paintings done by old Dutch masters- like Pieter Bruegel, Hieronymus Bosch. Ultimately we’re searching for feelings to bring into our game rather than specific visuals. and alot of us are big fans of Fromsoft games and Berserk!the bg3 devs love fromsoftware & berserk that's cute, you can tell by the ranger's wolf having a magic sword attack and the bonfire in dos2, I wonder if Miyazaki likes bg3>>553229592based scalielord swen, king of kings>>553229656a good sharran would convince the player that they're not that bad and try to groom them into worshipping shar, idk I feel like shadowheart's character had a lot of missed opportunities

Someone needs to explain this lizard meme to meIs the joke that you want to fuck a reptile? Where's the funny bit?
>ansur's lair was swen's ideaidk which one of you called swen a showman and not a designer but he's clearly involved in every single aspect of the game including the music, I'm a bit sad about wyll's writer and wyll's VA, they clearly wanted to do more with him and them cutting wyll's area was a huge kick in the dick, wyll does fuck all in act 2 lmao
>>553225150Because 5e is a shit system.
>>553230590
>>553230307Yes, they want to fuck lizards. They are spiritually Indian.I think Dragonborn look cool, but I don't do romances when I make one, cause seeing an animal head be intimate with a person is gross.
>>553230307>joke
>>553231809>Furries, the most white man thing to come out of modern humanity>The fandom born out of German magazines in the late 80s>Is actually IndianMake it make sense, retard-kun.
>>553232005https://www.yahoo.com/news/four-men-arrested-raping-bengal-012732129.htmlAttraction to animals in general is just sub-70 IQ behavior.That includes an animal head on a human body.
Hey so how does anyone play this game without using exploits like hex bound to get infinite money?Specially in act 3, a single piece of armor will cost almost 10k goldHow the fuck am I supposed to buy the good items with only the money from selling junk?
>>553232628Now explain why furries are consistently in research and engineering fields.The smartest person I know is a mechanic in the air force and he openly goons to aeromorphs which are basically robot girl sharks.
>>553232660enemies drop tons of trash that you can send to camp and sell later. you can also use a companion or hireling with high CHA to get better prices.
>>553232628>Dumb retard equating anthropomorphic beings (basically aliens) with fucking actual animals
>>553232767>Then explain why [headcanon]Most furfags are stupid, poor and black.
>>553232660literally 80% of the enemies in act 3 drop a weapon and an armor, keep looting them and you'll be rich as fuck in 2 or 3 long rests>>553233105mindbroken chud
>>553233105Think again. And once again, it was born in German in swinger magazines. Specifically the first convention couldn't get a slot in anything but gay magazines, hence why a lot of older furfags are gays.
>>553231809I prefer elves but lizards are OK, the midges are the real menace
>>553233353me on the left
>>553232909>One-to-one replica of a lizard's head on a human body>"I-it's not an animal"Cognitive dissonance is a trait I wish people would get killed for.
>>5532305905E is a framework. It's the skeleton you build around. For every complaint about Concentration, there is a counterpart in a "better" system, such as 3.5E or Pathfinder, where allowing pre-buffing or maintaining ten different buffs at once leads to degenerate and stale "gameplay." Concentration is far from a perfect system (though I would argue that BG3's level cap makes the flaws largely absent), but it at least incorporates opportunity cost - the idea that you have to choose A or B. Unsurprisingly, spoiled children and gamers tend to struggle with that concept. Mommy said I could have all the buffs at once!
>>553233461>Can speak>Can reason>Can hold philosophical debate>Yeah dude this is just like my cat (you would have a cat because you're a faggot)They're no different from pic related. The only cognitive dissonance on display is from yourself.
among all the bg3 races, the larian artists are the most proud of the dragonborns and swen said that players are really excited to romance lizards
>>553233625>>553233461And by pic related I meant Garrus.
>>553233326You are treating this like some official statistic lmao those are just self reported numbers nothing representative. Most furfags are blacks who like fighting games. Or they are white dudes who have a youtube review/essay channel and molest children on discord.
>>553233962>Your data doesn't count>Anyway here's my headcanonStop stealing oxygen.
>>553234147Yes, furrymap is not a representative source. The map shows the popularity of furrymap, not that of furfaggotry.I thought you said you furfags are smart.
>I won't mention anything specific (SORRY) because there are too many to mention, but there are so many books about the occult on Swen's desk that I sometimes think he's actually a necromancer.

Femlizard is locked in basically, because DOS2 already had male one and I'm thinking they won't walk into the same river second time on a row. And Femlizard will be so spicy that female players will love to romance her too.
PS1 remake when Swen?
>>553235328>Old gen Lae'zel is adorable
>>553235280people were crying about the lack of female lizard companions since dos2's release there's no way we won't get one this time, even the tabletop board game got a female lizard origin

>>553235328cute frog
>>553235723Retard-kun, any tangible data no matter the scale holds more weight in this discussion than your claims that may as well be akin to unicorn farts. The only furfag that has a melanin count above arctic conditions that I'm even aware of is SonicFox, and the only reason he's known is because he's an insufferable fag. Everybody else is white or east asian.

>>553235979>any tangible data no matter the scale holds more weight in this discussion than your claims that may as well be akin to unicorn fartsNot it doesnt, your garbage dataset is representative of nothing you want to argue and have nothing over my anecdotal unicorn farts. >hurr durr suspiciously wealthy furriesTouch grass nigger
>>553236972shut the fuck up you faggot baiting queer. i'm sick of dumb shits like you dropping intentionally retarded takes so autistic dips like >>553235979 bite every time
>>553236701I hope divinity is the fist inclusive rpg to feature realistic cuckold relationships
>>553236825I want as many interactions as possible, companions sparring, hanging out, bickering, betraying each other, hooking up, stealing stuff, all of it, I really liked what they were going with laezel and shadowheart but they stopped after a two nights, I want ALL THE DRAMA this time >>553237287pathfinder kingmaker lets you cuck a half orc companion and he tries to kill himself afterward
>>553236701>>553236825I can already see day one main complaint being companions fucking each other before cuck player even set a sight on one.
>>553237398>NOOOO I WAS TOO BUSY BANGING THE COMPANIONS THAT PUT OUT IN ACT 1 SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO WAIT FOR MEEEEEEE
>>553237174How come trannies, faggots and furfags always start projecting whenever they get the slightest bit of pushback?
>>553237287I wish I wasn't just an "ideas guy".I would make so many perfectly designed waifus just to bait Koob and cuck him.
>cuckoldry out of nowhere
>>553236825More coomer bait.In the end game there will be implied (gay) sex between companions with a fade to black so immature women can basedface over it.(And schizos get more material to spam cuck shit, as they already started to do)
>>553237810some people see companion interacting with each other and the first thing they think about is getting cucked
that was a fun QA ngl, I feel like the bg3 devs understood what people liked and disliked about the game, I kinda feel bad for kevin and wyll fans though
>>553230459what is the red war college
>>553238554swen made it sound like the place where wyll was taught how to use weapons he called it a ''hero college'' or something
>>553238308He said hes proud of Wyll lol. I wouldn't be as a writer.
>We're creating a dark world so you can be the light in the darkness. It's a story about hope.>But of course - we do want you to experience agency - so there’s also plenty of ways to take away that hope and be the darkness that snuffs out the light.Love that, BG3's second act is my favorite and I'm glad that they're going full grimdark, kethereic was also swen's favorite character
she actually said it lol
>>553240902she's right tho
So I'm still doing my first ever blind play through, I'd appreciate some non-spoiler help>get to the edge of the first area, get the "you shit is dangerous" warning.I'm guessing theres a level suggestion and I will get locked out of any quests? I'm think about exploring the entire map and seeing if theres anything left to fight?also>met up with the fire lady>shes fucking badass>took like 5 fucking fights to defeat the dudes in the abandoned village that wanted to repo her back to the army or whateverI like her a lot, I there are so many characters that I want to talk to except for the frog bitch that I want to interact withI have 2 main quests, to save the red demon people and rescue the guy from the goblin camp. Does it matter which one I do first? I still suck ass at combat and tend to lose fights or barely scrape by as I learn to use the spells and stuff
>>553227978If you're going to make a racial weakness it has to be more than just flavor. I've had a number of Drow players at my table (mostly in "evil" campaigns" and 99% of the time the weakness to sunlight, while flavorful, was circumvented by them just waiting until nightfall to do everything. Divinity races are already such weird takes on the archtypes that I don't know if you'd have to go out of your way to make them feel unique to play.
>>553242215>save the red demon people and rescue the guy from the goblin campIts the same quest basically, you will see
>>553242215Did you fucking mod Karlach's face already?
>>553242215your character is repulsive.>I'm guessing there's a level suggestion and I will get locked out of any quests?i'm assuming you tried to enter the mountain pass, i don't believe it locks you out of quests, but yes the enemies there are going to be difficult if you go there too early. there IS a point of no return that does lock you out of quests but it'll warn you in a similar manner.>>553242215>I have 2 main quests, to save the red demon people and rescue the guy from the goblin campthey're tied to the same quest, so not really.
>>553242215>get to the edge of the first area, get the "you shit is dangerous" warning.Any message that says you're about to go on a long journey and to wrap everything up is the game telling you there's no way back. Act 2 expects you to be Lv4 minimum, because anything less is you just ignoring all the content the game offers.
>>553242215make sure to have shadowheart cast bless at the start of every fight on all your companions, it will make them more likely to hit the enemies
>>553242797tav and karlach bimbofied....
>>553242215The starting area is huge, do not try to move on yet. You are underleveled I bet and will get mega raped! I am not positive but the tieflings and druid will be fucked if you move on.
I'll never understand people who use mods on their first playthrough. Even cosmetic mods.
>>553242215>I'm guessing theres a level suggestion and I will get locked out of any quests? I'm think about exploring the entire map and seeing if theres anything left to fight?Level suggestion yes, there are multiple ways into Act 2 and you can always go back to Act 1 up until a certain point (the game will let you know so don't worry). Some quests do break once you hit Act 2 though, so it's generally better to clean everything up in Act 1 before proceeding unless you don't care about particular outcomes. >except for the frog bitchI take back all my good advice, I hope someone spoils the entire game for you.
>>553242919cute frog
>merrgon masks can be crafted into explosivesthe fuck? i only found out about this shit by accident because i forgot to mark it as wares, and at act 2 i got the special dialogue option at dammon because it was in my inventorysigh... time to backtrack maybe, maybe not
>>553244249there's an even more obscure feature with those masks. try equipping them on you and your companions.
>lizard sex confirmedgame of the decade
>>553245249>It'll be another maleIt can't even be a convincing twink of Sven was so daring, because male and female lizards in Divinity have nutty sexual dimorphism.
>>553245737Men only want Shadowheart types
Unless Sven is a faggot i refuse to believe the second Divinity game in a row will have another male lizard, and they will use all their cinematic power on a fucking male lizard.It has to be a chick.Sven does what Sven wants and i refuse to believe he wants another male Lizard.No.No...
>>553246515you'll get your basic bitch white woman romance, every RPG has one of those, the only rpg that had female lizard companions was skyrim as far as I know
>>553246624>Red Prince>Dark UrgeYou WILL accept lizard cock in your diet.
>what feature do you think the fans will like the most>oh it's going to be the lizard romance for sureMr Vincke...
>>553243520frogwife
>Is there any small spoiler you can give us that will sound completely nonsensical until we play the game?>Alligatorhmm...
Dragon Commander has a female lizard romance. Check it out. You can even skip most of the rts battles.Divinity could have zero romances at all and still be game of the decade. There's a long list of things to be excited about.
Swen will make Lizard hermaphrodite character and depending on your choices it will transform into male or female (or remain to be both).There, i probably spoiled what they are going for to please everyone in a fun way.
>>553242919my character is bonita>>553242979I thought you could only do those buff spells once, holy shit I am retarded>>553243520I'm mad at the frog woman because I did her quest to meet the rest of the frog army and shit went sideways
>>553247168there was an alligator on the weird statue thingy they used to tease the game
>>553247348i like her look desushe looks like she does great deep throat
Imagine creating your own Divinity general, where you'll be able to talk about fucking lizards all day, relay the latest Larian news, or share what Swen last tweeted. Imagine not subsisting on a host like a fucking parasite.>>553247297You only post maybe once a day and this is what it's going to be about? Disappointing.
>>553247615>t.
how about an undead romance
>>553247348too much botox, did you mod shart too
>>553248124fane?
>>553248189slop one slop all as they say
>>553247297>Divinity could have zero romances at all and still be game of the decade.I'm not playing a larian game without romances, the companion depth is why I like dos2 & bg3 so much, even beyond divinity had a romance and it was their first ever game
>AYO --- WHACK DAT TROO SOOL FOOL
Playing for the first time here.I kinda hate all characters lmao? Frog girl is alright.Maybe I need to make an evil run or something. Just skip all of those useless fuckers and run into the sunset with ma frogwife.What is the most retarded 2 buttons class to play? Barb? I can see a barbarian that just don't give a single fuck about anyone.
>>553249207frogwife froglife>What is the most retarded 2 buttons class to play?fighter champion
>>553249207>What is the most retarded 2 buttons class to play?Paladin or Fighter.Fighter has a subclass whose sole feature is an increased crit chance.

bg3's lead writer thinks that the bg3 party wasn't diverse enoughI've been bitching about the lack of half orcs and dwarves since 20 fuckign 20 thank god he also thinks that an rpg party should be diverse
>>553249586we'll probably get a brooding orc to attract the gays and women with daddy issues and another edgy male elf to cater to astarion fans
lol
>>553249207Lae'zel, Shadowheart and Astarion are the best companions and all of them warm up to you over the course of the game. They're abrasive up until the end of Act 1 which is intentional.
>>553249636THIS. SO MUCH THIS OMGWE WANT MORE CHARACTERS LIKE LUCRETIOUS
>>553249980I wouldn't mind a drag queen in the party just to piss some people off, astarion is already triggering a lot of rigthards
>>553249636they should have never added Halsin or Manthara
>>553249207The most beginner-friendly class outside of Champion is probably Barbarian. You have a big pile of hit points, your Rage makes you resistant to physical damage, and you just hit things until they die. There's also good synergy with a Fighter like Lae'zel if you go Wolf Heart.
>>553250493trvth nvke
>>553250412agreedswen should make the whole game just about pissing off inbred rednecks lol
>>553248124She was my favorite.That game was really funny and so much of it could never be made today.I'm planning on replaying divOS2 when it gets closer to Divinity and I find myself excited for it. Although I should probably get around to it sooner rather than later since suddenly solasta2, afterlight, rogue trader dlc, and dark hersy beta are going to be this year. Good time for rpg's, too many games is a nice "problem" to have.
What the fuck is wrong with Swen!?
>>553253175let him cook, half of the cool things in bg3 were his ideas
The new game will put the chuds on suicide watch.
new playergoing through the overgrown ruins(or the catacombs beneath them I guess)that zesty ahh astarion disarmed like 20 traps so he's coolthere's some way to get deeper into the catacombs but I'm stupidalso am I even more stupid or can I not give frog the fire sword from the devil? I can't seem to give it to her directly or even drop it, though I haven't tried putting It in a container and having her get it out
>>553251332can't wait for you to get cucked again
>>553253861and that's a good thing
>swen repostedfun fact: dragonborns in bg3 also have custom genitals and their artist even posted them on artstation
>>553253946>going through the overgrown ruins(or the catacombs beneath them I guess)IIRC you need some Thieves tool's to open some door or something.Should be a key to open a big door in a coffin as well, which is surrounded by traps.>also am I even more stupid or can I not give frog the fire sword from the devil?You should be able to to give any companion an item when you right klick on the item, select move to and choose said companion.Simply dropping it on the ground and controlling it with the companion you want to pick it up should work as well.
No one back home will ever believe this...
>>553255431turns out I didn't see the 10 foot door right at the start of the catacombs I had the key toalso maybe I was just pressing the wrong button but I couldn't figure out a way to give froggy the sword but putting it in a box worked
Divinity sounds like bg3 but with extra years of polish and no dnd flair desu
Which class is the harem master class?
>>553258039Druid. Moon druid, to be precise.
Which 3 party members would you spark up a doob with
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE
>>553249361>>553249393>>553249608>>553250515Fighter is for froggy. Battle master is cool I really liked disarming. I had a good walk in the snow and calmed down, will probably continue my hexblade run. Sorry for bothering yall.Crpg lives and dies by it's characters. And I kinda don't give a shit about both the protagonists and the antagonists. Idk man I want to love this game but it resists me every step of the way. Maybe I need to see it more like a sandbox game than a story game. >>553249895Yea I get it. But right now they are all annoying bitches and act1 is like 1/3 of the game. More probably.
>game has unnecessary features
>>553247348Certified cute™ haircuttoo bad it often clips thru the models>>553248124Godey....
>>553261161cute male
Of course, the attention whore would approve of more slop. Shit taste invites more shit taste.
>>553261503me on the right
>>553254978Who even played dragonborn
>>553247348I’d tone down the lip gloss.
>>553262973Default durge
>>553262973My first Tav was a dragonborn.
>>553264171why? she looks like a cheap hooker, the blowjob lips are a perfect fit
>After about a month of doing 5-6 runs with different mods and companion set ups (never finished a run btw) i am finally feeling that i have BG3 fatigue>Now, after this QA with Larian, i have a burning desire to install DOS2 instead.Am i fucking crazy?
Did anyone actually unironically romance wyll
Don't know why they made dragons the shittiest class if they liked it so much Literally every other pick is better for both game and roleplay
>>553262973I played with Dragonborn Gale to fuck the lizussy.
>>553221236>Most thanks to one single featLike?I prefer a gloomstalker ranger myself.
>>553265003I've been doing every companion but I'm pretty sick of the game by now so he'll probably get skipped
>>553262973the very loud minority
>>553264807Because I prefer my whores with a bit more class.
>>553265090they are indifferent towards them, but they also know that furfags can become a menace if they aren't hearing what they want to hear
>>553262973Me.
>>553262973
>>553265226Tavern Brawler for every throwing/unarmed character is pretty much what activates their stupid damage numbers. Open Hand Monk with 20 strength and TB will just one ability decimate most enemies up until Act 3, where it instead takes 2/3 attacks to kill 200+ HP enemies.
>>553268061>putting eyeliner on your lizardDefinitely not a fetish, though.
Today's question is: would wyll have been more popular if they didn't cut his act 2 quest or was he always doomed to be unpopular?
literally who?
>>553268397>Not putting eyeliner on your lizard
I'm stating to think that this swen fella really likes lizards in his rpgs
>>553261413You literally post gore shut up
>>553233525OD&D and B/X were framework systems. Everything afterwards has just been garbage designed to sell more shit.
>Asterion gets bitchy if you sacrifice him to get Blood of Lathander and then revive himDamn, now I kinda want to see what everyone else says
>>553269878You don't play either of those
>>553268453No.Even with more content, Wyll as a character is simply boring in a way that is difficult to salvage.He's supposed to be some kind of superhero, but past initial remarks from companions, literally no one brings this up.The game even mocks this at one point pretty blatantly.Then, most of his dialogue is simply plain boring, Astarion has some hilarious remarks, Gale usually talks in a gentleman, well educated fashion, Karlach swears a lot, almost every companion talks in a way that may appeal to someone.Wyll just talks, there is nothing unique or memorable about any Wyll dialogue, he's a soft spoken guy with little personality.And even more content in Act 2 doesn't salvage the travesty in Act 3>please Tav, choose the fate of me and my father for me>please fawn over my new superhero name and disregard that the Emperor is actually Balduran who is revered by all Baldurians
>>553268453>doomed to be unpopularyou know why. he was unpopular in the EA also
>>553268527>Penis twitchedOh no...
>>553270871That's because both his EA and full game versions were shit and his design sucks it has nothing to do with him being black
>>553272039What's wrong, Anonymous?
>>553272295Yum
I'm pretty hyped I just hope that we'll get companions like astarion and Shadowheart and not wyll and gale
>>553272039ONE OF US
>>553262973these guys
>>553265440
>>553275005Shorty races on bottom where they belong.
>>553275337I've always said midges are the problem. Goblins even have racial anti-tall people abilities, proving the shorts are out to get you.
>>553275005It's baffling to me that despite lizards constantly being pretty popular for a race in Larian's games, they always have the shittiest passives and racial skills.>Humans+5% crit chance+10% crit multiplier+1 bartering>Gets the Encourage ability which is adds +1 to all attributes and scales with higher levels>Lizards>10% fire and poison resistance>+1 persuasion>The same dogshit fire breath ability you all know
bg3's lead writer wants a more diverse party and finds helia the werewolf halfling cool, you're getting a dwarf companion whether you like it or not
>>553275962Jesus I think I'm slowly developing dementia, this post of mine is a mess.
>>553269878>OD&D and B/X were framework systems.I know you want to inexplicably flex your preference for ancient tabletop systems on a video game board, but that's not even accurate. When 3E or 5E is described as a framework, it implies a system that permits modularity and extensibility, i.e., a foundation you can build upon. This is why you can install a BG3 mod for your favorite missing class or spells and it just plugs in neatly. This is why Larian can add 12 new subclasses in a patch and nothing about the existing ones has to change. Editions prior to 3E didn't have that. That's why statements like "AD&D is a shit system" can have some merit - maybe the player finds THAC0 and descending AC confusing - but statements like "5E is a shit system" is too vague on its own and essentially worthless. Similarly, bitching about Concentration is fine, but not if you're unable to articulate the why.>Summoning spells such as Conjure Elemental or Animate Dead that originally lasted more than one minute are no longer Concentration spells and last until the next Long Rest. It is possible for one character to have multiple Summons actively out at once, as long as each was summoned from a different spell.From the wiki. Don't see many players bitching about that change. Interesting, wouldn't you say?
>>553275962the way they balanced the races is pretty retarded, elves get 10% more damage and get to eat stuff to learn abilities and the less said about the undead the better, still, I'd take that over races being irrelevant to your build aside of having a few extra proficiency or spells in bg3
>>5532761955E is a shit system and the devs literally expect you to homebrew it to make it fun, swen is right, it's limiting, boring and gay
>>553275962They never lean into the fact that lizards have scales for natural armor, or claws. Innate AC and an easy alt skill to unarmed attacks so you can turn them into a slashing option if something is resistant to bludgeoning. In regards to BG3 and DnD in general, it'd make Dragonborns pretty great and versatile monks, which is often what you see them as in artwork to begin with.
>>553276417Races used to be quite relevant to builds and classes in DnD, even in early 5e, when the ability score bonuses were fixed.
>>553275962They could have at least given them an innate AC boost like dragon sorcerers.
>>553268453No. Wyll is a designated archetype; the fresh new player who's not familiar with DnD.>Warlock, decent and easy to play class which the DM can directly influence (notice; Wyll's punishment for for defying Mizora about Karlach is essentially narrative-only)>Neutral Good, flexible stand-up hero guy>Backstory is mostly sparse early on, early threads tie more into later acts>Story has a tie in with Karlach, a senior player, who helps out with developing the characrer a littleThis means he's a fairly stable character, but also exceedingly boring at the same time.
>>553272260Uh-huh. Just admit it. It’s liberating, trust me. You’ll feel better.
>>553276821I've seen plenty of people homebrew the breath attack into an extra attack when playing martials, I'm surprised they didn't do that in bg3 but then again that would go against WOTC's design, they want races to be as mechanically samey and dry as possible>>553276858yeah I remember that, dwarves used to be OP, the +2 STR and +2CON was huge
You should be able to reach level 12 in act 2
>>553277162Not only should you be able to reach Lv12 by Act 2, almost none of the endgame gear should be in Act 3. It disgusts me how many unique items are still appearing by the time you've killed Gortash, the game is fucking over at that point.
BG3 really needed a DLC
>>553277875imagine a citadel DLC but for bg3
>>553215493>wyll >fanslol
>swimming was basically confirmed during the QAthoughts?
>>553216448>they literally sent larian writers death threads on twitterWait what? There's no way anyone care enough about Wyll to send death threats to anyone
>>553280538You know the type.
>>553280681leftists and their death threads i swear
Why yes I will end task when something goes wrong in my honor mode run, like Alfira fucking showing up to camp despite 20 other events supposedly having priorityHow did you know?
>>553280538I literally saw someone saying that they needed to use a hammer on a larian dev and 5 or 6 people agreeing, it had around 50/60 likes too there are actualy schizos obsessed with wyll , I've seen a fair share of unhinged posts after the AI drama too>>553280751let's not pretend that is a left only thing especially this week
>>553280413Who cares? Are they going to add an underwater segment or have swimming combat?This is like getting excited for a fishing minigame
>>553280795Don't do it, just respec whoever was supposed to use Potent Robe to something else.
>>553276607Exhibit A of an unintelligent creature unable to articulate why 5E or Concentration is shit or "limiting." Interesting that CRPGs like PoE or D:OS that tried to come up with their own systems ended up with something worse, ironically in their attempts to reinvent the wheel. (Notably, PoE failed at preventing the feared stat dump, though the effort was certainly commendable.) And if we're to limit ourselves to what PR man Swen said, Larian just admitted that the awful Diablo-like itemization, meaninglessly bloated stats, and physical/magic armor system of D:OS2 are long due an overhaul. Sounds like they needed a lesson from the "limiting" 5E after all. But how could Larian's Next Game be the savior of CRPGs if it repeats more of what BG3 already did? This confuses and causes mental damage to the parasite.
>>553280976Fuck no
>>553280945idk it would make exploring dungeons and platforming segments more fun>>553281064oh shit it's you carry on then whatever you say :)
>>553280859political violence only goes one way from left to right dummy
>>553280024I'd rather have stand alone expansions, maybe a flashback with dark urge and the chosens, I don't really wanna see the companions again, the epilogue was such a good send off
>>553280413>swimming
Alight I'm tired of this shitty run. All of this talking and looting every fucking gold coin. I'm playing like a pussy and I hate it. I'm gona go berserk and just bulldoze through everything. I need to go blind, stop googling every door.But I love all the tactical part of mage combat and collecting spells... Whatever its for the second playthrough. Crpg's are better at 2d run anyway.So some questions:How many exp is in the game? Is it a game where you reach max lvl at the final map like in pathfinder?How many recourses are in the game? How starved of potions and equipment will I be If I don't loot every barrel?
>>553282430You’re gonna have more potions, gear, and xp than you know what to do with.
>>553282639john can't stop cooking the haters
>>553282639Having done just that as Lae’zel, I can say she is certainly more hostile that way. Still pretty easy to get her approval up, though.
>>553282430>How many exp is in the game? Is it a game where you reach max lvl at the final map like in pathfinder?you'll hit 12 in early act 3>How many recourses are in the game? How starved of potions and equipment will I be If I don't loot every barrel?there's tons of scrolls and potions to find throughout the game, you'll have more than you know what to do with. traders will also have plenty.
>>553282639this is straight up not true. off the top of my head:>shart used to call lae'zel "flatnose" all the time in ea. they cut or changed most dialogue with this insult cause it was too politically incorrect>shart had other cut conversations where she was a straight up bitch to you or lae'zel>her approval was hard as fuck to get up in ea. now its easyit wasn't like they merely added a way to save her on the nautiloid or make her like you. they CUT so much too. dude is lying
>>553283623Damn, I missed out on fantasy racist Shart.
we really needed a party in act 2 or some sort of celebration after killing a literal god
>>553284397Act 2 is when the story gets serious leading to the big grand finale which is why it ends with your party leaving the Shadowlands still desecrated and devoid of life despite razing Moonrise Towers
The parasite dodges the uncomfortable question and retreats to posting more off-topic garbage. It's what the creature has to offer.>>553283623Shadowheart still calls Lae'zel "flatface" to her not-that-flat face. I think purging the game of all these lines would have been easy if the intent was self-censorship.
>>553284896you killed 33% of the bad guys, know how to get rid of the tadpoles and got a magic stone, there's no way the party wouldn't celebrate
>>553284962>Shadowheart still calls Lae'zel "flatface"they legitimately forgot about that line and didn't catch it in playtesting. every other instance was changed or cut.
>>553284962>is this istik serious
>>553284962>shiggy diggy
damn they weren't kidding they really want bg3 to become a stepping stone for their other projects
>>553285185Eh, the game doesn't really shy away from racial slurs. Kagha has called tieflings worse. You can make fun of Lae'zel's economical nose, and she takes it in stride. But you're suggesting "flat-nose" was somehow too problematic when Shadowheart said it?
>>553282720>>553282993Got it. Well let's see how far can I got with just the barb and the frog.

>>553286653they probably decided it made shart look too unlikable for a main companion. kagha is not a companion so that doesn't apply. this banter was changed too. corcoran is not being truthful when he says "all i did was add a couple ways to make her like you faster". larian cut a bunch of shit
>>553287032lol. lmao.
Blue skin tieflings just look better than red.
The more playthroughs I get through the more Gale grows on meDude is just a friendly dork
arabella lifting mizora's tail and learning to love rimming in exchange for "saving" her life while kagha looks on laughing, knowing it was all a setup, that's life in Baldur's Gate 3™
>>553293365
>>553293957fuck off gay zel
>>553293957cute frog
>Once again, it isn't "pedo writer" because Mizora and Arabella are both women. And I thought the "boned" joke was okay, but the legend it has accumulated since is the real punchline. https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/509103374/#509128553There is a pattern with these subhumans.
>>553294646>because Mizora and Arabella are both womento be fair that does change things
So, Circle of Stars druid sucks, yes? And same with Swarmkeeper? I tried to see if they would work for multiclassing with ranger/fighter, but the sum seems really weak.
>>553296260Shadowheart looks disgusting, pubes protruding, very very disrespectful
>>553296562>disliking the Shadowpubes
>>553296562I wish I could motorboat Shadowheart's hairy shar pussy (or selune pussy) and sniff it thoroughly, like some kind of paladin lesbian dog
>>553286294Can't fucking wait.
Which class do I go to to be a full melee fighter with only magic to buff myself and maybe throw a single designated ranged spell like magic missile for when out of range?
>>553298483champion/battlemaster with scrolls
>>553298483If you specifically want a fighter with a few spell slots pick that's literally what Eldritch Knight is for. Pick Magic Missile, Shield, and a utility spell like Longstrider or something and you don't even need to invest any points into INT.
>>553299248Also pick Booming Blade as your Cantrip and you're set.
I keep taking lewd screenshots of Lae'zel instead of playing the game
>>553304183
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.
>>553304183I made a new gnome to goon to today.She's going to be a mindrapist once she's high enough level to get a bunch of cool psychic spells. Old One lock/sorc mix for the best results.
>Want to massacre the goblin shites at Moonrise>Sazza is in the crowdDamn, tough decision
>>553305092based
>>553304924I wouldn't mind having sexual relations with her.
>>553305179Gnomes, or goonmes as I like to call them, are sex.We need more goonme posters.
>Jaheira gives you an entire speech on how (You)'re their hope and only (You) can help the Harpers stop KethericOh it almost makes me feel bad what's about to happen.
>>553304924cute frog
>>553275962>>Humans>+5% crit chance>+10% crit multiplier>+1 bartering>>Gets the Encourage ability which is adds +1 to all attributes and scales with higher levelsdamn that's amazing, my human could use that because the shitty carry weight boost and extra proficiancy with pointless crap is uselessis this in custom settings?
>>553280413Spending the money on features that matter I see.
Would it really have been that broken to just have the humans from the tabletop (+1 to all attributes, or no bonus attributes but +1 feat)?
>brooooooooooo u can long rest as many times as you want don't worry :) xoxo>except:
just found a mod that makes luck of the far realms a passive. the game feels so much better now, its actually kinda insane.
>>553313070wdym? you just auto-crit the first enemy now after a long rest? isn't that wasteful?or are you critting now at all times like a cheater
>>553313296it changes it from a reaction to a passive that lowers crit threshold by 1, we can argue if its too strong, but as long as I don't get other sources of crit it shouldn't be too strong.
>mfw swen will actually give us fem lizard and fem goblin companions in divinity
>>553313586if you aren't going to stack crit with it then you just turned a useful skill into useless
>>553313812the issue for me is that I keep saving it for a better target, so I have to click the confirmation like 100 times each rest. its annoying, so I'm glad someone made a mod for it.
>>553313941https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/19302?tab=description
>>553313630Both will be male
>>553311052>+1 to all attributesThis would have been weaker than Tasha's +2/+1 ASI.>no bonus attributes but +1 feat?This would have been broken.
>>553314762she cute
>>553293202This is why Mephistopheles tiefling may edges Zariel tiefling as the best subrace despite the free Thaumaturgy cantrip.
>>553310519No those are the Divinity OS2 stats. Humans and elves pretty much mog everybody else, and Undead not only get the baseline racial stats, but also have the unique ability to be immune to Curse which blocks off tons of early game areas and is a spammed to fuck late-game spell, they also heal from poison and get damaged by healing instead. Poison is actually dangerous in Divinity OS2.
how do i make a life cleric combat effective? they are kind of useless if there's nothing to heal, buff or debuffi'm thinking 6 life 6 open hand perhaps?
>>553318961Radiant orb spirit guardians bs works with all clerics
>>553318961scrolls and grenades
>this is a level 9 (NINE) warlock feature???????????????????????????????
>>553320067Silence has some utility. But yea its a letdown.
>forgot to ungroup the party and summons during combat while surrounded by concentration AOE spells/damaging terrain>again
>>553275962Yeah there's a huge power gap between the races in D:OS2. That said I'd probably still argue that lizards aren't the worst and in D:OS 2 the order for a generic character is Elves > Humans >>> Lizards > Dwarves with all the origins(barring Fane) having worse/more situational source skills than custom characters. Like look me dead in the eye and tell me that resistance to common damage types and an easy oil igniter/torturer dot synergy is fucking worse than extra HP and dodge chance with the only saving grace of dwarves being a CC touch skill that still has to break through magic armor
>>553147974way too op
>>553323428it's on the same power level as monk so yeah
Asstarion is basically a male to male tranny
>shadow cursed lands>music sounds like the discovery of Pandorafuck offthe music in this game either really hits the spot or it's an absolute mood breaking disaster, jesus
>>553324918aka he's gay
>>553324918He's aristocrat flamboyant. He's the kind of straight-queer that women gush over in fiction but would never touch in real life.
>>553323859heh fair enough
>>553326373I have seen women even with fat and short guys.
>>553326676They're either the funniest man alive to that specific person, or rich.
I love my wife
BRO WHAT THE FUCKIT'S A FUCKING GHAIK DUDE WHAT DO YOU MEAN OATH BROKEN
Do people actually not like how Gortash looks?I always thought he looked cool as fuck but then a baldur's gate post randomly appeared on my feed and everyone was dunking on him and a few even said they used some mod on him to make him look better.I checked out the mod and it looks retarded btw
>>553328463If you really loved her you'd teach her disguise self so she wouldn't look like that anymore
>>553328594The narrator describes him as a handsome young man during the goblin camp.He looks chopped as fuck.
>>553329297He is the swaggiest character in the game. He could lose a couple pounds though and I wouldn't complain.
>>553328594Whore trash
>>553329297Also this image just gives me the impression that it's women wanting every male character to be cloud strife, again
>>553329619When I think handsome young man, I don't think this. He looks like a 40-year-old who refuses to give up his teenage fad hairstyle.
>>553329773Nah he's aura farming hard as fuck there, but I get what you mean on the young part
>Karlach Origin, Eldritch Knight>Monk Bae'zel>Arcane Archer Shart>Warlock WyllLet's go gamers!!
For me? It's Arcane Archer>Banish by Lv3>Blinding arrows>Curving shots>Divert missed arrows to the next closest target>Refunds arrows if you miss everything
Gortash reminds me of Blackquill from Ace Attorney, maybe reaching your late 20s/early 30s and still being in your edgelord phase ages you like milk
How the fuck do people stand Druid in singleplayer runs? Animal form pretty much prohibits you from being the face of the party, and the amount of unintentional sequence breaking it causes is unreal.
>>553332196>How the fuck do people stand Druid in singleplayer runs?druids can shapeshift 6 times per long rest, that's how
https://youtu.be/qYD5HHKmVT8?si=xr4cun2DFX0oeM09I hope that they'll make community updates like BG3's, that was comfy
>>553332475I'm not talking about how your ability to shapeshift though, I'm talking about how it breaks literally everything and prohibits a lot of one-time dialogue checks from even proccing, which can end up forcing you into combat situations you never intended.
>tfw no dwarf companion in bg3
>>553332627examples?
>>553332758Dwarves are so cool it's a genuine shame they didn't get a bit more than a former hovel filled with parasitic justiciars. Being a dwarf in a world where women like Karlach exist sounds like heaven though
>>553332812Straight away first example I can think of, ogre sex barn scene. You open those doors in animal form and it instantly proccs combat. Any and all situations in which a forced dialogue prompt would start that end in either calmiong the situation down or entering combat, instead skip the conversation and immediately turns into combat.
>>553333010Women designed all the Characters, that's why there's literally zero Dwarves, not only that the cut Werewolf Halfling companion was cut last second from the game.
>>553333010the party really needed a laid back character that calls out all the wacky stuff happening, even astarion admits that the crew is full of weirdos, I feel like a dwarf would play the straight man well
>>553332196I'm roll Druid Origin Karlach now to make you seethe.
>>553333116>Werewolf Halflingthis sounds like the most tryhard "look at me i'm unique" shit ever, thank god it got cut
>>553333116nah helia was cut before the early access was even released, we knew about her since 2020 and they've never updated her files unlike Minthara, Karlach and Halsin
>>553333216>I'm gonna intentionally have a shit experience to spite some random on the internetWeird flex.
>>553333226She was supposed to be hermit in the Shadowlands, which the books point to. She was replaced by Halsin and random Raven guy.
If Larian is based, they'll give the Lizards in Divinity optional feather "hair" and the additional inclusion of feather pubes.
>>553333016seems like a major oversight which never got fixed because not enough druids played the game so there was no pressure in later patches either, what a shamewell, as a heads up, you can turn into an animal before Abdirak starts whipping you so it can tank the hits, you will be turned back and forth automatically between dialogue options
>>553333303>>553333333Eat my dick bitch.
>>553333603>outing yourself as being THIS new while trying to own some anonlmfao
>>553333456
>>553333116Well that's lame. Female designers making the only short companion suffer from lycanthropy just to cut them from the game entirely to ensure a medium to lanky lineup is borderline parody.>>553333164Straight man dwarf is always a classic, I would've liked it too.
>>553332556man that vid really showed how much drama larian wanted in BG3, meanwhile in the actual game we don't get much after the first few nights of act 1, one of my biggest wish for divinity is deeper companion interactions
>>553320067lollmao
I don't think a 4-year development cycle for Divinity is realistic considering BG3 took so long.
>>553334482HOLY FUUUUUUUUUARKNo wonder Raphael needs the crown so badly, who the fuck would make a pact with that return
>>553334487they got 100 extra employees, aren't working during covid and are using AI to speed up bugfixing and testing it's definitely doable
>>553320067Does anybody even pay attention to what they take as Warlock beyond Agonizing Blast, Repelling Blast and Lifedrinker?
>>553334760Slow and the thing to see through darkness is good too
>>553334969Conjure Elemental is decent too, but anything that summons bodies is always good.
>>553334760Free mage armor unless I'm playing melee hexblade.
it's fucked that if you play a dwarf your dwarf can't have a Scottish accent
elves should have looked like this
Dwarf racial should have their camp start with 20 smokepowder
>>553337481barrels
half orcs should have way higher strength and should jump way farther than the other races
>>553337007this is literally the only reason why i refuse to play as one>>553337481>>553337572and you get 5 more after each long rest
>>553337668short rest*
>>553337481Gnomes make better smokepowder than dwarfs, in fact dwarfs are mad about that and often refuse to use it because they aren't the best.
>>553337792I kill you in every run, Wulbren
If I'm playing a martial class I want to play elf for a guaranteed booming bladeIf I'm playing a class that gets booming blade I want wood elf for more movementIf I'm playing a spellcaster that doesn't need anything in particular I want to play elf because they look prettierFucking hate elfs
>>553337792here's the thing though: i don't give a fuck about your nonsense
How do I play the short races without feeling silly?
>>553338163You don't.
>>553049289>go to Moonrise >have Karlach the Destroyer yeet the guards down at the dock into the ocean from stealth>move in to convince the cargo guy to join them with my big tadpole brain>notice the combat log pop up saying the cultist I drowned got resurrected>cultist isn't anywhere on the dockAny idea what the fuck that's about?
What subclass to pick for my barb? Berserk looks cool with bonus action attacks and I find throwing people from cliffs funny.Wildheart bear have resistance to all fucking damage holy shit.
Just left all my speed potions and strongest scrolls with Lae'zel because my inventory was getting full near the end of act 2Now she even wants to talk to me at camp! I think our romance is finally going to really start being romantic. I wonder if she's gonna have some cute confession scene lolWell let me go find out
>>553339402Rule of thumb: Offense > Defense.Taking less damage is great but killing enemies one turn earlier reduces damage even further.
Heh.
I just found out weapons don't scale down for short racesseeing my dwarf carry a greatsword so long on him it drags through the ground is the funniest shit
>>553341027It's kind of a shame that BG3 doesn't have any pretty human women.
>>553315159>This would have been broken.only because the way we have get ASI is fucking retarded, it should never have been a feat, and feats like savage attacker should only be available to 0 cranial activity subclasses like champion
>>553341225Trvth nvkeOrin is the best looking foid in the game and she's an incest child who can look like anyone she pleases
>>553341578her basic form is pretty cute as it is, though
>>553341225Remira? Brynna? Mayrina? Lassandra? Talli? Elin? Adrielle? Keene? Chopped liver, I suppose.
The only good looking human was that "paladin of tyr" girl who sells you stuff
>>553342719chopped period, schizo
>>553342719The only attractive human woman is Mizora and she doesn't even show up in that form anymore. Honestly, fuck Larian for that.
>>553342719Keene and Elin are baddies.
>>553343191it doesn't even make sense that she's standing there in devil form outside gortash's inauguration
>>553341225Z'rell is cuter than 2014 jrpg faces from mods.
>>553342817
>>553343471Cirian looks like that but with less clothes and dirt.
Swen vincke, the beast from the west.
Starting a new run, never played either:Hexblade or Bladesinger? Which is more fun?I'm leaning towards bladesinger but I have indecisive-itis so I'll let /vg/ decide.
>>553343721>>553343721>>553343721
Wyll dancing
>>553343686Having played both, Bladesinger is more fun. You can also use detect thoughts in conversation instead of Cha skills for a change.
>>553343471Yes her
>>553343471>>553344405>>553342817Its a shame that she is with "paladin" of Tyr. Some paladin, being Hell's bitch. Killed them all. Which is a shame.
