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: >>556294386

>>556649052Gay. Thanks, anon.
Minthara is canonically 150Minthara is canonically bisexual/pansexualI collect barrels and throw them at every boss including MintharaIf you romance Minthara you are a horrible personI ascended AstarionI romanced ascended AstarionI play with lots of mods onI fucked Halsin and Shadowheart at the same time and loved itShadowheart is right not to use her birthnameGale got groomed by MystraI play sorcererI camp castI sympathized with KethericI play male TavI love dragonborns, halflings, gnomes and dwarves
>>556647980*laughs in Misty Step*
>Gale got groomed by MystraYou learned that from the stupid swine?>He was groomed to become a sleeping agent for Mystra>If we talk about character manipulations by deities, Mystra is worse than Shar for how she behaved with Gale.Interesting how every one of the Mintharafag-obsessed shitposters takes refuge in crass stupidity. Interesting how both the swine and the parasite insist on joking about sexual abuse and grooming. There is a pattern.
This thread is claimed by the frog empire, istiks.
>tfw you're pretending to be an unconscious drunkard laying on the sidewalk just to be around her>>556648013GWM is more impactful and as opposed to an STR ASI you can't replicate it's effect easily. It can also be toggled on/off and certain status effects (like Prone) can negate most of it's drawback so the flexibility is there too.
>>556652431My dude, Gale was 20 when this current iteration of Mystra came to be.
>>556656230No he was like 8 when she first touched him. >20Mystra is like a billion years?
>>556656735>this current iteration
>>556657825Mystra billion years old grooming Gale
>>556653623cute frog
>>556656230Facts are meaningless to the shitposter and the swine. You have to actively ignore reality and truth in order to arrive at the conclusion that Mystra was somehow manipulative toward Gale. You also have to ignore Gale's admission of his own hubris.>Gale: I tried to convince her. I pouted, I pleaded, I swore my ambition was only to serve her better. But she only smiled and told me to be contented.>Gale: As inconceivable as it seems to me now, I shared a bed with a goddess and yet I wasn't satisfied. So I sought to prove myself worthy to her instead.
>>556659894Godey and Mystra raped you
>>556660078Cozy frog.
>>556652431Needs something about Gorion's Ward, and Godey Boney.
>>556653547I'm going to rape you.
so manthara troon is a chud who hates black guys huh. i guess that's why they call it the incel-to-trancel pipeline. he's mad because black guys have sex and he doesn't. what a fat fuck loser.
>>556663114Not even blacks like other blacks. That’s hardly unique to the troon.
If you're a black dragon dragonborn is that like being a black guy and a dragonborn at the same time.
>>556663114he only likes white women with short hair
>>556653623Angry angry amphibian
>make a Tiger wildheart barbarian because it seems more interesting to prone/maim enemies than just delete them with throwzerker damage>start one-shotting everything by the end of Act 1 anywayGod damn why do people even bother min/maxing in this game when it's so easy to overpower encounters.
There's an illithid parasite in that corpse. You should take a look.
>>556665895No, the color of a dragonfreak is irrelevant, which is further evidence that their race (disease) is devoid of culture, history, religion, or anything that would set a dragonfreak apart from another dragonfreak. In Faerûn, elves and drow hate each other because they are separated by far more than skin color - culture, history, and religion are all vastly different and sometimes even diametrically opposed. The githyanki and githzerai hate each other based on philosophical and ideological differences. But the dragonfreaks of Toril are a golem race (disease) transplanted from another world, unrelated to dragons and therefore their chromatic or metallic hierarchy. Don't mistake this for a biased opinion - even the game agrees that the ten very distinct types of playable dragonfreaks are actually all part of the same abyss of narrative irrelevance and deserve a singular [Dragonfreak] tag. The reason the dream guardian cannot be a dragonfreak is practical - it was a last-minute race (disease) addition they didn't bother adding lip-sync for.
>>556671903Did a dragonborn fuck your mother or something?
Omae wa mou shindeiru
I'm going to make a dragonborn, name him Gorion's Ward, ascend Astarion, and throw a barrel at Minthara
>>556671903black cocks rape manthara for eternity you fat racist /pol/cel cuck
>>556676216Don't forget to compliment the pigslop.
>>556676875cry harder you bigoted schizo Piece of shit
>>556676216hello based department
>>556671903Gith and drow game.
Warlock is the most fun class to me but the flavor of it sucks so much in this game I never want to actually play one.
>>556688910You mean no unique dialogue or something?
>>556689065Yeah there's absolutely no patron involvement in the game whatsoever unless you play as Wyll and warlock barely gets any dialogue to begin with.
What's with Larian and dead moms and cubs
>>556693771halsin's sad backstory
hmmm
live action laezel
>>556656230you can still be groomed at 20 especially by a goddess that sent her chosen to meet you when you were 8
>>556697482Y not just get Devora at that point?
>>556697731Elminster knew what sex with Mystra is like though (it's good for you)
gale not being groomed is such a dumb hill to die on, as expected of the resident schizo
The official timeline refutes the grooming speculation - which, by the way, is only believed by a genuinely stupid swine and a parasite that loves to shit on the characters for no other reason than it enjoys dishonesty. Mystra returned to the Forgotten Realms in 1479 DR, thirteen years before the events of BG3. (Source: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/1479_DR) If we assume Gale to be in his mid thirties, their relationship would have started when he was in his early twenties at the earliest. Even a goddess cannot "groom" a grown man in his twenties, regardless of the immense power imbalance. Words have meanings.
>>556700693Gale got groomed get over it, quit gatekeeping abuse you fat fuck
>Day 21: We've finally arrived to the city and found affordable lodgings at Sue Were's. The rooms are spacious and the walls are thick, though the interior could use a new coat of paint and some minor fixes. Ours have a view to the water!
>>556697482Laezel will be a fat broad nosed hood nigger without question. She’s green so that’ll be the line like it always is, “uh chud green people aren’t even real so she has to be a nigger actually there are dragons but you can’t believe in niggers!?” get ready for it now because its happening. Every single time same shit same shit excuses from the same nigger fetishist shit subhumans. The best case scenario here is you get zendaya or some other sack they want to push. The people that do this to every single thing will keep doing it until they start experiencing horrific violence on such a reliable basis that they become afraid. And nobody wants to go first so it just keeps happening. Everything has to be niggers and faggots at all time. Probably Shaniqua’zel will fight a Trump stand in and help some fungal migrants steal another house or something, or they’ll talk about slavery again and everyone will be in awe at how important and brave this is.
>>556706598
Poor Therezzyn.
>>556706774Anyone who isn’t 12 knows it’s true because you’ve watched it happen unfailingly for literal decades. A nigger will be cast, redditors will defend it with the same lines they always do >dragons but no niggers!?>but she’s green so of course she needs nigger features >john wayne was ghengis khan more than half a century agoAnd so on. Eventually they’ll have swen come out and humiliate himself by pretending that laezel was always intended to be a she nigger and they just ran out of time for crime skin development or whatever malarkey. I’ve seen it ten thousand times. The nigger won’t even be fit, it’ll be some fat piece of shit like they did with Starfire and they’ll give her some wig. And she’ll have at least one episode about how hard it is to be a nigger, these istik po po be tripping when I steal jordans for tha culcha, chk! Any ensouled person can see it a mile away and is disgusted by it. And not only that they’re doing it at a time where nigger rhymes aren’t even charting anymore, niggers are totally played out already but they’re out of touch and this is their religion so they have to.
How can anyone take Wulbren seriously?Acts all tough and seems murderous.Yet he is some pathetic gnome who are bullied by all the other races.Lmao
>>556707893Gnomes are terrorists and have bombs
>>556707893No one does that’s why his people are buck broken slaves
>/bgg/ in June during the summer game fest
>>556707893Be patient with Wulbren. Being the last heterosexual gnome alive means the subsistence of the race is on your shoulders alone. This is a massive burden to carry.
>>556710265Karlach doesn't want extra company...
>>556710335she's fine with it actually but not with halsin and definitely not right before dying
>>556710265https://youtu.be/vhmDhM43c1g?si=ftDAgWvHrMKqxnoy>if you try to talk about halsin one more time I'm killing you, myself and the whole citygale is such a bitch
>>556710265what a mistake this character was, but i only give partial blame to the fags that memed him into being included as a full companion, ultimately it was larian who did so and wrote him this way, they don't get enough shit for this. they way they handled him and shart was particularly awful. just completely disrespctful to the players romancing her and to the character itself. she's not interested in sharing up until act 3 then suddenly she is? there's no prior indication she's polyamorous, and at no point are you able to give or not give consent to any of it, so you have to suffer her fawning over another character. just terrible all around.
>>556709205>the face of the game will be a female lizard
is this the worst moment in the game?
>>556711080But she doesn't fawn over him unless you do it first, by asking him for a threesome or taking them both to a brothel. So many players are gay for Halsin.
>>556714551i know of at least one flirty banter between them in act 2, granted at that point your relationship with her has only gone as far as drinking wine and kissing, and doesn't really kick off and get serious until after the nightsong.
What's better as a pure class? Swords Bard or Hexblade? And which one leans more on melee as opposed to spellcasting?
>>556716181swords bard is a better melee & caster
>>556716181They're both good. Hexblade does more melee damage if you use shadow blade and has better damage spells, swords bard is better at ranged weapon damage.
>>556716181>>556716531Hexblade uses cha for casting and attacking, swords bard uses str or dex for attacking and cha for casting. If you're going to use offensive spells and not just buffbot, swords bard needs elixirs or gloves.
>>556713015Really poor framing, they should have made Gortash left handed.
Why is Gale's hand white...
>>556718998He's had to deal with his dark urges on his own since Mystra broke up with him.
>>556718998Astarion should come with a finger bone accessory
Anyone have that graph of dialogue reactions by class?
>>556718998why is gale there period? where's laezel
>>556720112Getting her nails did before she goes for a weave fitting
>oh I'm such a big gale fansaid no one, ever
>>556720112More people buy Gale toys than Lae'zel ones, somehow
>>556721159femcels can be particularly rabid in their obsessions, compared to the average incel.
>>556718998I can't help but think to what Anon pointed out a few weeks ago: Gale's hand was suppose to rot from absorbing the Orb and his Early Access art reflects this. We know the concept got scrapped but some leftovers remain in the game files. Plus I checked and the bandage was on his right hand instead of the left. Though the odds are not on my side I still think it's possible whoever created this promo had a mindfart or got the wrong memo for the character design.
>>556721395true. plus all the shart and karlach toons are being bought by lesbians. what straight dude would buy something like that
>>556697482
where's the wyll merch?
>>556722840Stolen
wyll & halsin's unpopularity taught larian that people want a more diverse party
>>556719557gotchu senpai
>>556724573Every berserker barbarian option is literally just "ME BREAK YOU SPINE ROAR"
>>556724573Cheers mate. I managed to track that image down to reddit, but it was a version with TERRIBLE resolution, hard to read.
>>556725087you roar a lot too
i feel like froggy is the only one who can win in a freestyle battle

>>556652431same but without all the gay shit
>>556725927cute frog
The verticality of Act 3 is so fun.
>>556720824The Galesis was one of the best of us. We honor her memory and remember her cute Tavs.
>>556732757saving female posters' tavs is some next level serial killer shit don't reply to me

>>556732994...it says, as it screencaps and reposts the namefag's novels. I just think that's interesting.
>>556733284only the funny ones, the pizzas will be remembered for years to come LMAO
Who's the most fitting companion to take to Cazador? Astarion is given and I want Shadowheart for Cleric things like Daylight and Radiant damage. Is there anybody else with unique content or commentary? Or at least with a past that involves vampires?
Daily did it devote itself to its obsession with the namefag. Daily did it free itself from the tyranny of thought. All, in time, was lost to it - its opinions, its preferences, even its own character name. Upon the altar of its obsession, it placed the ultimate offering - its emptied mind. "I'm going to make a dragonborn and name him Gorion's Ward," it proclaimed, to the namefag's complete indifference. A thousand posts and more passed it in colorless gusts. And still, the namefag did not acknowledge their ankle-biter. "I threw a barrel at Minthara," it screeched, hoping to elicit any kind of response. "I'm also going to ascend Astarion!" And still, silence was its only answer. This hater of Mintharafag, unheeded despite its desperation, might yet have one more lesson to learn - that not of ignoring, but being ignored.
