>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.

You should be worried about the current state of this general. Nearly a fifth of the previous thread was off-topic nonsense and reddit screencaps. Enabling the parasite and the lizard fuckers is certainly a choice.

Start as fighter and grab 1 or two levels as hexblade warlock. Can get Speak with Animals through that second level of Warlock, or you can just use potions like everyone else

I don't use banishing arrows, they're stupid
But with archery fighting style, sharpshooter for more damage, and titanstring bow I hit for around 30 at level 5, from the other side of the map, and leave them blinded for two turns so they can't retaliate
A magic missile arrow for low health enemies that I need dead and a good aoe shot to boot. And all of that on a short rest resource.

Pure 4E monk or should I dip? All the spells seems like they cost so much so I'm considering staying pure but other than that it feels like I could just coast with fangs of the fire snake as an additional rider and dip out as soon as I hit 3. Not sure what I'd dip into, main one up for consideration I guess is the ever present EK booming blade to get a 3rd weapon attack with war magic.

the archdruid will give you access to a bit more content, but you can safely be rid of him as well
how you handle the druid grove situation ultimately decides only one thing: how many vendors will you have access to as the game goes on, and of how many items are you going to be permanently locked out of

I would place Arcane Archer in A-tier. S-tier archer builds would spam special arrows, which are mutually exclusive with Arcane Arrows - whether relying on weaker but replenishing Arcane Arrows is a drawback depends on your perspective. Psychic arrows add 14 damage on average with the Resonance Stone, which is respectable. However, the class does depend on a secondary ability (INT) to reach its potential. Ironically, Eldritch Knight is perhaps an even better archer that is not reliant on INT, despite being a one-third caster.

Depends entirely on the build, if you're doing the traditional weapon+shield build, probably strengthmaxx
If you want a caster type cleric you'd need to go dex for initiative since you'll not be using melee much
For my new run I'm running death domain as it seems cool and interesting.
Light is kinda boring after the 5th time but it's probably the strongest.
Tempest is just lightning spam but it's very good for DPS.
Life is pure support and the only healer worth building but if your other chars aren't dogshit it's not needed at all.
Shadow is pretty poop unless you want to RP that one.
War cleric is strong I guess but I'd rather just use a fighter at that point.

14 dex if you are using a spec without heavy armor proficiency and 10 if you have that (Life/Tempest/War). Wouldn't go above 14 with strength either.

basically what >>553364587 said
you're not really breaking your good guy stance by asking for payment for doing jobs, you're just being reasonable

i was about to explain how to juggle his approval rating, but truth be told it's impossible without knowing his character
for instance, in one moment he will disapprove if you refuse to torture someone, but the next time he will aprrove if you refuse to abuse someone
right now i'm in act 2 playing as a reasonable guy, and his approval is at about 50-60, and he's been in my party since the start

look at him like this: he's not an inherently bad guy, but he got mindbroken by cazador so hard that doing evil shit (to which he was subjected to) is how he's trying to deal with his trauma, and he hates being powerless
he does have a redemption arc, so you can stick to the good guy larp while he's in your party
>>
>>553368175
forgot to add, it's easy to have higher approval than what i have by act 2, but i prefer keeping him in that range so i won't risk gay shit happening

Can I just resurrect her after this? I'm much more fond of Minthara, but I know I'm also right before a big Shadowheart moment.
Also the fuck does it mean I haven't 'Fed the Urge' or whatever, was that for not killing Isobel? I wiped out everybody at Last Light and laughed at Jaheira over it, and also had the Goblins disembowel themselves. I haven't shown mercy to anyone but Minthara up until now.

bg3 devs want to improve the way companions interact with each other, would you like companions to have a rivalry, friendship or romance each other like in dragon age or mass effect? I feel like wyll and astarion should have been at each other's throat the second they meet in act 1, maybe wyll could have known cazador's reputation or something thanks to mizora and it would have been up to the player to side with one of them or make them BFFs or BFs

So, what's the point of Eldritch Knight when Hexblade exists? I don't get it
>>
>>553375295
Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer is the most braindead way to deal high damage as a caster, with Bronze (Lightning damage + free Fog Cloud) and Silver (Cold damage + free Feather Fall) lineages being the best. You then grab the Elemental Adept feat and pick the same element that matches your Draconic Lineage, and by Lv6 your Charisma modifier is added to the damage. If you want a thematic caster like an all ice build, this is the way to do it.

>>553376304
Eldritch Knight gets Action Surge, also gets access to Booming Blade, gets access to a far wider variety of armor and weaponry, it can cast magic and melee attack in the same turn thanks to War Magic, is generally tankier etc.

Hexblade is a spell-leaning spellblade, Eldritch Knight is a blade-leaning spellblade.

>>553379768
There are several benevolent outsiders you can form a pact with, including angels. A unicorn is a funny one.

But honestly I always felt like that dodges one of the main points of a warlock, which is balancing your quest for power against your patron being a piece of shit and giving you tasks you don't want to do. A fully evil warlock who just agrees with their evil patron is one thing, because then at least the player carries the burden of having to roleplay an evil character. But a good character who just agrees with everything their good patron says always felt like a cop out. But from a realistic perspective of what I would actually do, that's the way to go.

If we're talking bg3 only, then I'd go with fey. They offer several nonlethal ways to win/escape combat, and there are several fey who are not as capricious as the rest, like older spirits of the forests and elemental entities. The bad ones are faeries, hags, and the other ones who think it's funny to torment mortals. (On a related note, we're lucky that Dolly helps us when we free her. That was a coinflip that happened to be in our favor.)

Archfey, no doubt about it.
The fey vary enough that you can actually get a patron who is just whimsical but completely good and endeared to (You) on an actual personal level.

Speaking of, can anyone actually explain Hexblade to me? I can never tell if your patron is meant to be some being from the negative plane that simply gives you a sword as a form of power, or if the sword itself is the actual patron and the smith is not involved, you're really just a fighter that found a really fancy magical weapon that gave you powers.

D&D - and by extension BG3 - is not a PvP game. There is no need for every class, feat, spell, or item to be perfectly "balanced," whatever that means in your mind, or Sawyer's. Being too powerful can be detrimental in the sense that the player experiences no real challenge. (This is why we don't usually default to spoonfeeding the "best" builds to a new player.) Moreover, consider a hypothetical system in which every class is somehow equal - such an outcome is undesirable, because player expression would be rendered irrelevant. In order for player expression in an RPG to have meaning, there must be right and wrong answers, i.e., trade-offs. Thus, a "balanced" RPG ideally offers non-obvious, mutually exclusive options - a Swords Bard in BG3 might be more suitable to exploit cheesy mechanics, such as (ranged) Flourishes and Arcane Acuity, whereas a Valor Bard might be closer to a stereotypical gish, both martial and spellcaster. There is a right and wrong answer depending on what the player values. The fact that some classes, feats, spells, or items are "better" than others does not fundamentally change the underlying appeal of a roleplaying game - a game in which the player makes choices. BG3 is a good RPG because both the defense-oriented Life Cleric and damage-oriented Tempest Cleric are valid choices in Honor.

Fiends are asshole who are actively looking for ways to screw you over. With Great Old One, there’s a non-zero chance you’ll lose your mind learning things mortal were not meant to. Hexblade is a big unknown.

With the Fey, there’s actually a chance it might be a good and beneficial relationship.

Yeah, unless that good patron is an insufferable asshole who gives you tasks that can be summarised as suicide missions. "Oh, you are still alive? That's wonderful! Many rewards await you in the afterlife. Here, another settlement/town/bunch of adventurers needs your help. I'll mark the destination on your map. Good luck!" Or like this. "You have slain that evil necromancer." "i barely made it out alive. I could've died in there you asshole!" "That is your imperfection. You must be smarter if you are to overcome further trials and tasks. Here, you must hunt down a serial killer. You cannot use [insert a useful ability/skill]. Prove yourself worthy of the powers i give you."

"I kinda hate all the characters except frog girl so I decided to have a run with just her" is a mouthful so I'm calling this run a "Maiden voyage". Me and my beautiful frog wife are going to ride around the world killing strange and new monsters, it's gonna be great.
It's pretty hard and going to get even harder when the game assumes that even the most retarded player has a full team.
But God damn it feels so good to have a team of people you actually like.
Finally I found a way to play this game.
Some thoughts and progress:
-Berserk is great. A fuck ton of attacks and I can throw some goblin ass into one another and one of them is guaranteed to be prone. There is no DC. All of this for a bonus action lmao.
It also seems that I can grab and throw people without any dice checks. Isn't there supposed to be an athletics check or smth? Is it a bug?
-I'm still searching for a weapon to rip out of hands with a battlemaster ability. Starting to regret taking this maneuver.
-Spider queen underneath the village is dead! Was a fun fight. Swamp witch is next.
-We are consuming healing potions at extreme pace. I hope we find a new supplier soon.
- Tactician is fun and just hard enough. I'm happy I didn't started on max lvl ruleset. Although I'm interested in those "legendary actions".

Vlaakith has built their entire culture on a lie. You'll find out more about that in a bit.
As for the zaithisk in particular, lying in order to lure ghaik to their deaths is just a tactic among many other tactics. They would commend the practical efficacy of it. They're soldiers first and foremost, and deceit is absolutely part of warfare.

if you have tavern brawler it is very unlikely that you will see a failed throw

Mechanically he's the worst race amended with an even worse unique source skill compared to non-origins. Plot-wise his story relevant NPCs are usually out of the way or have such little screen time that all the dick-sucking and fear-mongering about his reputation falls flat. Unlike the others his sidequest line doesn't have a big cathartic moment or tie in with the others and events barely play out any different with or without his presence. DE promised to amend that, but it did not by any means do so. BG3 uses his real name for his portrait instead of his title. Really his only saving grace is his nice hat that only comes back to him 3/4ths of the way through the game and will get replaced by the next piece of levelled loot you find

I find it funny that all the struggle I had in getting astarion to like me enough by the victory party was actually so trivial after I learned to just spam rests before doing the gate fight. The best part being that none of the choices even conflict with my stereotypical good-guy nature. Also I keep finding an extra one or two camp scenes from him every run that I've never encountered before. Which is weird since I've been spamming partial long rests after every major story beat for a while now but I guess even minor beats deserve a long rest. Not happy about the short joke though
>>
>>553419515
Astarion is racist to short races, especially gnomes

I'm doing my first Honor Mode run after not playing the game since 2023. I cleared out the goblin camp, and I'm wondering what to do next at level 4? Cheese Ethel with Arcane Lock, or use my last troll horn on Flind? Flind scares me, and I'm hoping it and the trolls kill each other.

>>553419789
It's fine I'm counting on my halfling luck to carry the day and maybe some squid surgery later on

>>553420225
Yeah I have no clue why they put so many events tied to resting before the gate fight and even put one that only shows up if you haven't recruited anyone. Its super jarring because at that point you get what basically amounts to 3-4 nights of people going oh no why haven't we turned yet or shouting about the urgency of the situation when all the content of the area can be cleared in 1-2 short rests. Even beyond that the one I posted a screenshot for comes from after finding out about halsin in the grove after the gate fight but before progressing the plot any further. Act 1 is just scattered with that weird stuff

>>553419890
Underdark has a couple of no combat free XP places, talking down the gith are also a huge XP source if you have the inspiration to account for fumbling, Of the choices you've posted though mind controlling flind is the easiest option. I don't recall the exact route but I do remember that its possible to hit level 5 before having to fairly fight any bosses with legendary actions but I think that route includes mind controlling flind
>>
>>553420225
Do the first rest after fighting the brains and bandits in the crypt.
Second rest after the skeletons and getting Jergal. It's justifiable imo.
Then your third rest after the grove(gate, harpies, cave goblins).

Doing it this way feels good to me, like we're resting the right amount.
>>
>>553419890
>Cheese Ethel with Arcane Lock
You don’t even need to do that. Just bully her with speed potions and magic missile until she offers to give you her hair.
>>
>>553419890
Save the troll horn for the githyanki. You can wipe out Flind by approaching the entrance to the cave from highground and starting the fight with a surprise attack. I usually open with a smokepowder bomb and then cast Cloud of Daggers on the stairs. Kill the archers first. Ez

Thematically I really like this but I'm curious what difficulty you're playing on. I feel like gate, harpies and cave goblins all on the same day is tough to pull off due to limited spell slots. Also I like going to ruins before the grove but you actually miss out on a bit of free EXP that you can get by reading the journal next to Arron before going to the ruins.
>>
>>553426385
>Save the troll horn for the githyanki
Fuck, I already used it on Flind. It was a complete waste, too. The trolls barely did anything, and I killed Lump midway through the fight just to make sure he didn't disappear forever.

I'm going to try the honey bear cheese to get the silver sword. Only getting one shot at this shit makes me nervous as hell. I probably would have reset the run if I failed to knock out Minthara.
>>
>>553431398
Don't worry, high ground obliterates the githyanki too. In every honor run I've forgotten to use the trolls. Put your entire party in sneak and open with a fireball. The gith will be surprised, then have someone sneak around to get close and cast fear. Once you pick up all of their weapons you can cast sleet storm. Then simply blow them up

It's a meme, there's an extreme niche use for Wyll if you want to do melee shit as a warlock but don't want to be a hexblade or use shadow blade.

Holy shit, that Spectator in the Underdark almost ended my run.

It occurs to me that I've never actually seen wyll's act 1 romance scene nor have ever been propositioned by him. Its strange since he's been in my party in a couple of runs and even the runs where he's benched he's in the high 40s/low 50s before even dealing with the goblins. Is Wyll just always brooding and never a sex pest like gale?

If there's a clause that the devil gets your soul when you die, you should try to get a specific fate. If it's left up to the devil you probably get the chamber pot.
The guy who sold the city of Elturel to Zariel got her to include a clause that if he dies, Zariel will promote his soul into an amnizu, which is a very strong type of devil.

It's a bit of a risk.
Request a certain fate and she'll know that's exactly what you want and move the goalpost back for you to acquire it, dangling it in front of you constantly.
Dont request anything in specific and she might not put much thought into it which can be a good or bad thing especially if your patron is particularly quick to move on.
