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: >>557198501
>>557440413>wyll doesn't idolize his sole parental figure who taught him how to use a sword and has been his rolemodel for literal years and has been upholding the ravengarde's values for decades
Which Baldurs Gate 3 character is that in the OP? It doesn’t look familiar. Because if that isn’t from Baldurs Gape 3 then this OP and indeed this entire general could be said to be off topic.
>>557440669*smooch*
Why do you hate me so much, /bgg/? What did I do wrong?
Wyll disappointed his father but Mizora is the abuser in his shitty story. Maybe you could see the disappointment or pressure he felt from his father as cruel.
The future is black.
>>557440742It's not idolizing if it's actually earned and lived up to.
>>557440807the wiki is literally linked in the OP newfag>>557440935I don't though shadowbaby is in my top 4 favorite bg3 companions
557441016nope nuh uhGorion's Ward said:Minthara is canonically 150Minthara is canonically bisexual/pansexualI collect barrels and throw them at every boss including MintharaI respect all women but MintharaIf you romance Minthara you are a horrible personIf you romance Astarion you are a great 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
Larian General.
>>557441045says who, moron? Wyll has always looked up to his dad he even copied his gay little pose, wyll idolized his father, he also called him harsh but fair despite him banishing his ass when he was 17 which makes ulder abusive aka an abusive figure of authority just like the rest of the companions
>>557441058So then it’s off topic, trolling outside of /b/, and extremely low quality. And you admit it.
>>557441058>is in my top 4 favorite bg3 companionsI mean there are only 4 companions worth giving a shit about>Shadowheart>Astarion>Lae'zel>Jaheira
>>557441295>Wyll I love you son but you just sold your soul to Satan and disappointed me, and I have the safety and well being of thousands of people under my responsibility, you must go before she makes you do something that might bring harm to untold people.>You: ABUSE, THAT'S ABUSE, HE'S ABUSIVE, ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE
>>557441374replace jaheira with karlach and you got my top 4>>557441357sure babe whatever makes you happy>>557441405I hope that they'll overhaul the reactions from bg3 they were hella buggy especially counterspell
>>557441526>>557440937RETARD!
>>557441694It literally would have been more abusive from the duke to keep Wyll around and locked up so he doesn't do anything bad than to just make him go away but free.
>>557441526>doesn't let wyll explain himself and allow him to clear things out about his contract involving heartless demons>banishes him at 17 literally abuse
>>557441405>>557441568Off topic spamming and flooding
>>557440807The parasite revels in using off-topic pictures for its threads, discussing off-topic Larian games, and generally being a nuisance. Nothing will change until more anons take action against its disruptive presence.>>557441292>>557441405This is off-topic garbage.
>>557441882>>doesn't let wyll explain himself and allow him to clear things out...have you actually played the game? Wyll explains when he tells you what happened that when he tried to explain, the words literally couldn't leave his mouth, and when he brought his father to see the scene of the battle with the cult, Mizora had already cleaned up and erased all traces of it.
>>557441887>>557441941Disgusting tranny samefag.
>>557442024that's literally what I said he banished him before letting him speak, it doesn't take a genius to realize that he couldn't speak because of foul play so not only is ulder abusive he's also a retard
While I appreciate a different topic for once, Wyll is not worth debating
>>557442196Way to move the goalpost idiot.Also you're blatantly ignoring the "Wyll brought him to the place of the battle" part because it shits on your argument, as it means his father gave him multiple chances to explain and even let him demonstrate what happened and Wyll never found a way. And even if Wyll had actually proved he did it for a good reason, he still would have had to go, you don't just put a guy who you know is controlled by devils right next to a duke. At that point your only options are to lock him, kill him or just tell him to go away and hope for the best.
>>557442132Your off-topic spam is bothering more than one anon, if the 20+ deleted posts in the previous thread are any indication.
>>557442481>At that point your only options are to lock him, kill him or just tell him to go away and hope for the best.yeah that's clearly what ulder did in act 3 when wyll spilled the beans retard
>>557442525He deletes any post he doesn't like
>>557442525Cry about it, faggot.
Shar (plus Viconia), Cazador, Mystra, Gortash, Vlaakith, and Mizora all enter a room together and....

We could've had Minsc Origin.

>>557442995and a minsc romance...and a werewolf companion>>557443072nope
they really don't let you fuck any of those tiefling thief girls?
>>557443632I feel like they were supposed to add hook ups with NPCs at some point, both Rugan & Lakkrissa wanted to have a drink with you in act 3 but it got cancelled
>>557442891>3 Tiefling Origin companions

Give me your objective FUN ranking of all the classes.
Wtf don't multiple sources of same attribute increase stack? My starting wisdom is 15, I have amulet for +1 and ring for +2 - still end up with 17. And they don't have that limited 'up to x' nonsense either.
>>557445839Are you playing with mods? Afaik Khalid's Gift is the only item in the game that positively affects Wisdom.
>>557446063Of course.
I love Lae'zel
I love shadowheart & minthara
>>557446165And for that reason I'm out. Seriously. Ask the modder. He probably used the very same effect on both items and that's why they don't stack.
>>557441374Based.
Has anything canon been released detailing how Shadowheart and her group stole the astral prism exactly?
>>557448604Nope.My guess is that the Astral Prism was kept in Crèche K’llir, aka Stardock. For the Sharran team to get on an asteroid trailing Toril’s moon, they probably were aboard a spelljammer, either smuggling themselves in or using magic to impersonate Githyanki. The heist probably went wrong due to the nautiloid attack on K’llir to also take the Prism, causing the clusterfuck that led to Shadowheart being the only Sharran survivor and Lae’zel kidnapped from her space station home.
Is Shadow Magic any good? I wanna try sorc but I don't care for wild magic, dragon aids or LTG
What a good time to be a larian fan
>>557448604https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Artefact_Mission:_Agent_Rosterhttps://bg3.wiki/wiki/The_Astral_Prism_Heist>Thus was born the plan to send a tadpoled strike team in a regrown nautiloid piloted by the Emperor to steal the Astral Prism from Vlaakith.Sharrans somehow got involved to fight the Absolute, either as directed by Shar or Raphael.
>>557450202A good time yet a terrible general. This is a general for Baldurs Gate, including but not limited to a single game made by Larian. Discussion of other Larian games or indeed of Larian itself is off topic garbage and will be treated as such.
>>557451624Would you shut the fuck up already?
>>557447018Yet only one is capable of monogamous love.
>>557451857If rule breaking would cease, so would observations about rule breaking. My off button is in your control and always has been. Will you press it?
>>557448604They captured a Githyanki (somehow) and tortured the information out of him, you can find his corpse (head missing) in the place where Shadowheart's parents are located.Besides that, next to nothing is known that wasn't already posted.Not even Shadowheart and the Emperor acknowledge eachother, though both claim they took the Artifact.>>557450227>Sharrans somehow got involved to fight the Absolute, either as directed by Shar or Raphael.It was because Viconia realized that the Absolute Cult was sucking off idiots that previously would have joined her cult.She then (likely due to her spy network) learned that the cult feared the Astral Prism and therefore wanted to use it to disrupt / destroy the cult.Shar herself ironically didn't give a fuck, so there is the theory that Viconia intentionally put Shadowheart onto the team, so she dies off and she can sell her death to Shar as collateral with bringing in some new recruits due to the destruction of the Absolute cult.
>>557444721Don't bully Inwe.
>>557448604Cut content, a half realized plot where we'd find Viconia had been under the thrall of the emperor (hence being so out of character) and that Shadowheart's tadpole came before the nautiloid. Like most plot points it was left half written as Larian stitched a game together at the 11th hour from completed set pieces of a different story.
>>557453051>Not even Shadowheart and the Emperor acknowledge eachother, though both claim they took the Artifact.What's weird is the githyanki in Act 3 call out Shart as the "gloomed soul who stole from our queen", but then proceed to talk about how they've tracked the Emperor as well. I guess the Emperor jumped into it first and then Shadowheart snatched it while the Illithids and Githyanki were fighting.
Name a more heartfelt BG3 romance moment than Gale proclaiming he loves (You) more than magic itself
>>557453914Lae’zel calling you the source of her joy after admitting that she now sees the beauty of the world she was stranded on.
>>557453914
>>557454181
>>557453914I know we all like to shit on shart here, but she does have some really sweet lines, like when she says she's not sure how she tricked you into thinking she was worthy of you, and how she wants to build a new life and make new memories with you and all that.
>>557455463Or that time she asks you to sit and watch while she lets some druid open up her holes
>>557457026I can't say I recall that one, perhaps it was you getting mixed up with your own fantasies?
>>557457026
>>557453141How is kissing her druid in crime bullying?
>>557455463I feel like Gale hits really similar tones, with his insecurities, orb sickness, initial desire to die for his goddess or his ambitions
>>557453914better
>>557453914When Lae'zel admits that she has come to respect more than just your strength - your vulnerability as well.>Lae'zel: But now I see more in you still. You are iron and steel, yes - but you are also silk and satin.
If I were a salesman in a fantasy game, I would sell magical wards against cuckoldry to novice adventurers.

>>557458045Surely you jest.

>>557453914When Karlach gets cooled off and asks "Can we go to bed now?" in a tone like she's about to start crying.
>>557460553If you had to go to bed with you you'd be crying too
>>557458045aww that’s cuteI also like this onemy second half, you made me cry
>>557458787I recorded every single Astarion romance scene
>>557460553Somehow, “I can goon now” doesn’t have quite the same emotional payoff to me.
>>557458787>astarion Zest, not jest

>>557453914The date with Karlach is definitely my favorite.
>>557460908>AAThis is about to trigger someone but based. I love both Astarions>>557461247<3
For me, it's my beloved
>>557461385>This is about to trigger someone but based. You have your preferences, and others have theirs. We can and have discussed whether Ascended Astarion is the "bad" ending for him, but it's ultimately about the character, not you.
How much power do I lose as a Hexblade for not using Shadow Blade? It just looks so fucking lame. This tiny little short sword that doesn't even use a real model of it's own, just the basic short sword, and you can also barely even see it.
>>557462515Name three things you like about her that are non-physical.

Karlach's big fat futacock forcing itself down Gortash's throat
>>557463615At least tell me her name.
>>557465861why is it always karlach or laezel and never shadowheart or anyone else
>>557463096The concept of samefagging bewilders me. It's not as if one ever needs to repeat an opinion or pretend to be multiple posters, unless the goal is to suggest broader support, which is not applicable here. Similarly, if I am disliked for my posts, I don't automatically assume the sentiment only comes from one samefag, as that would be an illogical, ego-driven assumption. I don't automatically assume every Lae'zel enjoyer is the same. ("Cute frog.") I don't automatically assume every Astarion sister is the same. ("Missionary with Astarion.") And I don't automatically assume the recent thread policing is genuine rather than a new bit to mock my taking the rules too seriously.
nobody's going to read all that shit you retard
Saying that a character is "futa coded" is just another way of saying you think they look or act "like a man" (whatever that means), so you assign them a cock, because "men have cocks" and "cocks are what men have". The whole thing is steeped in misogyny, which tells me Minthara troon is probably behind it.
>>557466715The short version is this - Cute frog. Missionary with Astarion. Anyone who posts these is me.
all me btw
Guys, you’re getting weird again and arguing over nonsense.
I'm the Ted Danson who plays Royal Kingdom.
>>557466632>I don't automatically assume every Lae'zel enjoyer is the same. ("Cute frog.") I don't automatically assume every Astarion sister is the same. ("Missionary with Astarion.")You should because it usually is. Even when it isnt they're coming from the same discord.
Can I get an invite to the /bgg/ Discord?
Any other favorite games in the baldurlike genre?
shaddy's jester pussy
>>557466571In this instance its about a power reversa given Karlach's and Gort's personal history. Hmmm, lets see... Futa-Shart would force her futacock down... NPC throats. She doesnt seem like a party invested member but when dealing with a lot of NPCs I can see her swinging dong. Futa-Lae-zel is butt-raping any opponent that provides half a challenge. Futa-Minthara is butt-raping every antagonist on the journey(but Gort is Karlach's bounty)There, do the other futas feel more loved now?
Lae'zel just laid an egg.
aw hell nah this jit cracks BIRDS
Probably just shit. Lae'patel.

So is Aylin basically just a Selune Durge, or what's the deal with that?
>>557469775Only stank ass autists cant understand the most obvious story possible. She was in prison and tortured and has a trauma reaction to people trying to chain her up again. No shit. Fucking retards here
>you have to enter the water filter because "it's your destiny"shut the fuck up bitch
>>557469775They drew first blood, not her.
>>557469775>Get betrayed, imprisoned, tortured, drained of your energy and murdered then revived over and over and over for more than a century.>Get surprised when she's mad af and lashes out violently at the guy who did all of that to her.
when you ask "is aylin a piece of selune put into a person and it gives her a dark urge to do selune's will on the planet" and anons interpret it as "is aylin an autistic serial murderer and corpse fucker with holes missing in her brain but she's selune-themed instead of bhaal-themed"
>>557469775They’re both the offspring of gods, and I believe that is where the similarities end.
>>557470825Unironically, Aylin would've been a more tolerable character if she were just a braindead murderfuck pig
>>557471256No, what Aylin needed was to live up to her fucking hype.>Release her.>She swears vengeance on Ketheric and goes to Moonrise Towers.>"Ohhhhh shit, she gonna lay down the hammer on that foo-">Jaheira's harpers had to take the fortress entrance for her.>You have to take the floor.>Aylin gets captured back pretty much immediately and goes right back to being a battery for Ketheric so you have to rescue her again.
>>557469775She's literally the child of a goddess. That's why she has that passive that prevents her from being killed: Selune (who has Life as one of her domains) doesn't let her perish. This is absolutely not the case with all aasimars, although it's not worded like this in the game but Aylin is practically the Chosen of her mother. A powerful Paladin who carries out her will, protects her followers and and represents her values.
everyone hates aylin
I don't.
gaylin
Wow, this thread is garbage. Nevermind
>>557473715Why do you think it's like this?
>>557471256Aylin would have a more tolerable character if she had a shred of humility and decorum.
>>557474331This isnt even as bad as this general can be.Just be glad he-who-shall-not-be-named isnt posting
>>557471624You’d think a century trapped in a Sharran torture chamber might have taught her a lesson about her own limitations, but nooooo….

Question: does anyone know if they brought in minthara's VA to record new lines post-launch to support being able to recruit her on a good playthough by knocking her out? It's to my understanding that this was patched in later, right?
>>557501423She has lines for that but dunno when they were recorded.
>>557501423Yeah. She always had two reactions during her scene at the end of act 2, one for raiding the grove with her and one for leaving without stopping her or helping her. They added a third reaction specifically for knocking her out.
>>557501948>>557501578Is there any statements/interviews/etc. that you know of that absolutely confirms that these lines were recorded specifically AFTER launch?
could half-drow kids still have their perfect white/ashen hair? or is it always black/whatever shade of gray?
>>557502216Yeah, it wasn't added until all the way in patch 7, which was september of 2024. Long after launch. Here's the notes from when it was implemented.https://baldursgate3.game/news/patch-7-now-live_121
>>557502824Sure they could
>>557502216Eh, hard to say.Thing is, there is also a dialogue in the game files where you had to choose between Halsin or Minthara, implying that her being recruitable on the good path should have been an option.Lines were recorded but the actual scene did not make it into the game.
>I run my own business, I’m health conscious, and I’m kind to women. Trust me, I’ve had my fair share of lovers and probably some of your share too. And not one would ever think so little of me that they openly dream about another person for an extended time. Not one would ever ask me to have sex with that person to satisfy their own selfish fantasy. Shadowheart betrays a player that has risked their life for her, and she does it for Halsin. That’s canon and the player has no choice about it.Did this guy cook? Does Shadowheart really betray the player

has anyone done damage calculations on bladesinger with shadowblade vs eldritch knight with shadowblade? with all potential buffs (haste, bloodlust, tarazul, belm off hand, GWM bonus attack for BS), i feel like eldritch knight should theoretically be better on the first turn of combat due to action surge, but helmet of grit doesn't work with EK's war magic, so i don't know who comes out on topin honor mode, EK can get 8 attacks with a lvl 3 shadowblade on turn 1. bladesinger can get 7 attacks with a lvl 5 shadowblade. EK's setup is a lot less conditional tho. EK also gets more feats and a bonus with its fighting style

>>557509961>as if I'm sealing what kind of person I am by deciding which class is my favoriteWhat did you mean by this? First of all you don't have to pick a favorite. I'm always playing whatever class is the most interesting/unique and best supported by the game (in terms or lore and equipment). Bonus points if the class is actually useful and isn't covered by a companion. That's it. Second this is not some personality test. Self-inserting is indeed the most basic form of roleplaying (and let's not start a semantic battle over the term here) but doing it with characters who are unlike has an inherent challenge, excitement and fun factor. Especially if you're doing it properly! In a lot of ways this is not about who/what you are but about who/what you aren't. Third there's no seal of approval here. You're doing this for your own fun, just do your homework, make a decision and roll with it. Decision paralysis often stems from the individual's unwillingness to make decisions (any kind of decision!) instead of being the inherent consequence of the situation at hand. No need to overthink this. It's not that serious.>>557511753No Alphabets is not up to date with the latest patch(es) so such incompatibilities might occur. As long as you can continue playing it's no biggie.

bg3's biggest weaknesses for me were the lack of interactions between the companions, the main quest losing steam once you reach rivington and the underwhelming class & subclass features i hope that larian will work on all of these things for their next game
Apikusis got fucked up, because she got in the way.

Halsin respects women. He respects them all night long.

>>557522876you forgot to mention wyll
Very telling how triggered certain types of incel have been by the very idea of respecting women. When you respect women, you respect yourself, and women respect you. When you don't have the respect of women, they might do things like telling you to your face they dream of Fucking other men. They might even demand you do it too. And when you don't respect yourself, you might tolerate this. When one knows the pattern one can notice the pattern in the residents here. And indeed maybe some of you lack respect because you're fundamentally unrespectable. Perhaps you should diet, exercise, and bring your finances in order before asking women to respect you. Most of you complain (on your way) about being sexless cretins, yet you never do anything about it.

Shadowheart either wants to fuck Halsin, or she doesn't. You can't have it both ways.>maybe some of you lack respect because you're fundamentally unrespectableYou'd know all about that, I'm sure, being the token schizo of the general.>about being sexless cretinsLike when Shadowheart didn't want to fuck you?Why do you dress Minthara in Shadowheart's camp clothes, by the way?
>>557524853i have that one saved too
>>557525408Is this SYD? God I loved that show.
Really, Shadowheart?
>>557442891What? Absolutely not, come on now 4 tieflings, that's ridicolous.As much as I love Rolan, I think his quest with his sibling is just perfect, mirroring a small party of adventures trying to reach the big city. It's tangentially related to other main quests, it opens up to new challanges like freeing the other tiefling from Moonrise Tower, culminating with him standing up to his old master, becoming the new proprietor of Sorcerous Sundries and Ramazith Tower. I honestly don't understand the obsession with Zevlro, he's a well written character with a murky backstory, but that's kinda it.I agree with Kagha, she should have been the druid follower, and her character could easily mirror Minthara's if a player chose to attack the grove, giving the player a choice between two "evil" female elf companions, but respecting their role playing choices.Alfira being a companion from the get go would also incredibly improve Durge's Origin run, so there's that too.Minsc from the beginning, not sure how would that work.Nere could be interesting, I just don't see a situation where a player would hire him, I mean he's pretty much a failure all around, maybe some sort of pity hire.Having anyoner of the Chosen Three would be ridicolous and plot breaking (yes even Ketheric).Not including Barcus in this list is criminal.
They're saying Shadowheart's fucking Halsin, they're saying she's fucking Karlach, she's fucking Lae'zel. But nobody's saying that Shadowheart fucks you.
Nere never fear.
Nere sometimes fails.
Nere >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Manthara
>>557527342as the sharrans say, cuckolds find solace in the shadows
>>557527342She actually is fucking Karlach canonically

>>557526808He is in a toxic one sided relationship with Jenny
>>557527342someone translate that post
>>557527690Unironically I think Barcus might be able to pull a small degree of game by being the mature older man who doesn't initiate himself and just takes a protective paternal figure approach that gets surprised if you are the one who flirts with him.
>>557527690Barcus is wulbrensexual.
>>557528261barcus rides bicycles with no seats
>>557527690>him flirting with my tav Uh? I think you're misunderstanding their actions anon, they really just want Wulbren Bongle's dongle, if you know what I mean.If the game had a vanilla artificer class, he could have been the perfect to a party, or even just crafting bombs and stuff while at camp.

>>557528360Tacky
>>557529573Who knows, maybe we'll get some new hotfix in the future, but Patch 8 was deemed 'the last' and Larian already moved on from their DND related games, yes. why do you ask, if I may?
>>557529573yes
>>557529573they moved on in august 2023, everything afterward was written & coded by a small team in charge of the post release support they're now hard at work on 2 (two) games as big as baldur's gate 3

D:
>>557530170like what specifically? and why aren't you reporting them on the larian forums instead of 4chan

>>557530309The Larian forums are basically useless, twelve clique accounts governed by a loser moderator that shuts down criticism or any real discussion. Basically every forum becomes this.The real answer is it's absurd that Larian doesn't have the gumption to play their own game and verify if things are or aren't working. It's a big game yet a single employee doing full time QA for a week could probably catch most of them. They just won't.
>>557530637>Larian doesn't have the gumption to play their own game and verify if things are or aren't workingbut there's been what, 9 patches? so how can that be true?
>>557530271what did you do

>>557530849There have been so many patches precisely because it is true. Each patch reverts like 50 issues because nobody is actually playing the game and verifying that things are fixed and not fucked. Their process for triage and test is obviously totally broken, and their team remains stuck in a mindset like they're still in beta.
Which Paladin oath should I pick? Preferably something that's more on the permissive side of roleplay, don't wanna be an Oathbreaker.Also I wanna go sword and shield in case there's more fitting options, I feel like Vengeance might be a bit too skewed towards two handers from what I've seen.
>>557531000I don't work for Larian. Checking that their game works and fixing things that don't isn't a big ask.

Idea: BG3 but with swimmable areas
>>557531160There was one on nexus at some point but there was some kind of trans drama on the discord and it was abandoned. Maybe someone will pick it up some day, but Larian is the one that ought to be fixing their game.
>>557531385Both can be true, it's not hard to understand. They release patches that break things because they aren't testing. Some guy gets a bug assigned in service now, he asks chatgpt to fix it, he commits it and Larian ships it, and at no point does anyone actually play the game and realize they disabled an entire class of scene. People gave them a pass becauae it's just early access, but the game has been out for years and they never stopped thinking that way.
it's actually a crime she isn't in camp if you're not playing as gale. the cutest cat
>>557531945its incredible how much more content gale gets compared to other origins
>>557531945She's not a cat
Alright boys it's time to mod the game. Playing Durge so I'm going to kill over everyone but Shadowcute who I will be romancing. So custom companions mod. SBBF to make women have more attractive and feminine bodies. Some clothing mods to so I can dress up shadowcute lewdly as early as possible. Don't worry. I'm not going to add anything that changes the balance of the game. I wouldn't want to further slopify it. Only improve it's visuals and make it so I don't have to use the shitty hirelings.
>>557532430not if you pass the checks
>>557529573Patch will be 1 years old 2 months from now. In the news entry called "The Final Patch" they explicitly stated that "This is it. Our final major game patch for Baldur’s Gate 3." and only released Hotfixes ever since. What else do you need?>>557530367It's all about that damn golden dice, isn't it?

???????
>>557539805you're literally a sharran idiot
>>557539869not only that but it doesn't even sound like a shart line. its like her writer accidentally passed a halsin to the voice actress or something
>>557539805>>557539869Shadowheart needed more dialogues in Act 2 where she reflects on the fact Shar did so much horrible shit that she now gets to witness and conflicts with her "Shar is actually good, she offers succor to the lost!" ideology. Would have also lead better into her being conflicted about killing Nightsong, as it is you just get a single "I'm having doubts" comment in the entirety of Act 2 with no context to go with it while in every other conversation she gets pissy if anyone criticizes Shar.
>>557540692if i consume the shadow weave from a thorm family member, she has an appropriate in-character line. that bizarre shadow lantern line for her in balthazar's room is definitely a fuck up from the writer.
>>557539805Be patient with her, she’s confused.
>>557540692This happens in her head.
>>557540059>not only that but it doesn't even sound like a shart line.i'd say the line fits, it just doesn't fit Sharran Shadowheart.There's a bunch of alternate lines Shadowheart has in Act 2 that no reasonable person triggers because it requires you to deliberately avoid triggering that dialogue with Shadowheart before she spares Nightsong.And after she spares Nightsong, you're supposed to wrap Act 2 up and move on.
>>557544190no i was right. it was a halsin line that was accidentally passed to shart's actress. shart doesn't speak in an odd archaic tone like halsin does
>>557544190It was definitely meant for halsin, they have the same line in their dialogue files.
where are the shadowheart goon mods
lol
>>557544479>they have the same line in their dialogue filesThat happens several times in Act 3 too

>>557545727in act 2 he can absorb the shadowweave for another lvl 3 spell slot and he can craft the shadow lantern. technically anyone can try to craft the shadow lantern, but gale automatically succeeds. shart origin has advantage but its still hard to pass
>>557546695How?
>>557547028Death cleric gets to ignore necrotic resistance as a subclass feature.
>>557547245But necromancers get a buff to their summons and get more of them

No one cares that you are willing to cheat in an already easy game, you worthless attention whore.

>>557557131At minimum the game has enough content for two distinct playthroughs as the vast majority of quests (including the main quest and companions' own) can be solved in two ways, not to mention you can be a goody two-shoes or evil with your general approach. A third one can also be played to see further quest outcome(s) / alternative path(s) everywhere, including creative measures to solve quests and beat enemies. It's also worth to spend these playthroughs with experimenting different (sub)classes or at least builds for everybody to get the most out of the experience. Sames goes for romances or things like your stance on Illithind powers and eye operations. These are all variables you can play with. Then you have more exotic endeavors like playing solo, Honor mode or the the Jack-of-all-Traders things (there's even an achievement for it!), not to mention the various thematic-inspired runs or small gimmicks (e.g. only salami as a weapon) that could be combined for something interesting. Ultimately it's up to you to make it exciting as the tools are there.

Does Gale answer the questions of Mystra automatically during their audience based on your previous dialogues with him? Or only the lines that you pick right before he teleports away matter?
>>557575920how the hell should I know?
>>557575920After some testing I'd say the latter is the case.
>>557579117>how the hell should I know?>>557579159To elaborate on this further it appears there are two scenarios with their own dialogue trees. You can't make Gale admit he wants the Crown himself so that and the "keep your cards close to your chest" situation is the same, while the ask for forgiveness and promise to deliver the Crown gets it's own scene. The latter also yields you "Anointed in Splendour" (+2 to Saving Throws) which is the same condition that's being given to a character if that donates enough to a deity. We play this as a Three-Dragon Ante party for now.

Another golden opportunity that Larian missed would have been to have the captain of The Blushing Mermaid offer you some of her other services in exchange for some gold.Then saucy sex scene occurs and you wake up in the morning next to untransformed Ethel.Perhaps she could have called you petal just as a last word before the scene triggers.

>>557611309Yeah and I am not the only obe who has this issue. It is been known from at least 2023.
>>557611481the game doesn't crash on most rigs. its hard to know if the crash is happening due to a bug in the game itself or some incompatibility in your set up. i guess its likely an incompatibility problem/hardware crash if its happening on different saves (unless you always play in the same unusual way and keep encountering the same bug)whats your whole set up? have you tried moving the game to a different ssd or hdd? what's your ram usage when trying to enter the lower city?
>>557612565Its not a hardware issue. I could travel between regions just fine before. But now I can't. My rig is intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900KF, 32,0 gb of ram, 3.73 TB SSD , NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (16 GB) ,Like I said, chaging graphic settings did not help and many people have this issue, not just me. Game crashes when it reaches 50% of loading,
>>557613014what does the crash message say
>>557613062no crash message, it just crashes
>>557613287can you open the event viewer on your pc to see what happened when the crash occurred
Divinity will be awesome sauce if they keep the quality of bg3 act 1's reactivity and camp drama, act 2's dedication to hyping up main villains act 3's uhhhhh dungeons I guess?
>>557586769why do you guys hate manthara, she is mentally the most stimulating.
>>557613964I don't hate her but she's by far the most unfinished companion in a game with tons of unfinished companions, there's not a lot to like
>>557613487LariLauncher.exe, error 0x0000000000025369, 0x4ef8
>>557613783act 3 has some of the coolest weapons in the game too and the most evil path goodness
what race for a cleric of light?
>>557614719that's just the launcher. if that's the only error, you can try finding the exact path of your game's .exe file and putting the equivalent of this in the launch options on steam:"E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\bin\bg3_dx11.exe" %command%your path probably looks different but make sure its in quotes and has %command% after itthe launcher might not be the only problem tho, but sometimes it is
>>557615909Holy shit it worked, I have no idea why this wasnt anywhere on internet. Thank you so much, youu saved like 30 hours of act 3 progress.
>>557617237np anon. the launcher can be a buggy pile of crap sometimes, but at least its easily bypassed
his copypasta gets deleted but when he goes on his random rants like this doesn't hmm >>557525315
>>557618396the first thing he thought about during valentine's day was shadowheart cucking him
>>557614873Zariel Tiefling with albino skin
Either my mods are freaking out from it or the small patch today has made it so you can pick Oathbreaker from the start as a Paladin.
>>557613964>mentally the most stimulating.Blame her cringe namefag.
>Was thinking respeccing Shart as a Death domain cleric and then once she rejects Shar respeccing her to a Light domain cleric was the most flavorful way to play her.>Realize that Selune doesn't actually hold the Light domain....oh.
how do I unlock this scene?
>>557621696It's kinda funny how garbage our brothel is, even in Witcher 3 you had a couple of different brothels with different prostitutes to choose from and fully animated sex scenes.
>>557621642i wish they put twilight domain in the game. its a great subclass and fits selune perfectly. light domain is sun/fire themed and works better for a god like lathanderlife or knowledge still work for selune tho, but no one wants to use knowledge cause its ass
>>557622247I wish they had fully animated brothel scenes, not for gooner reasons but the thought of them animating that over wyll's sex scene would be hilarious
reminder that shadowlach is 50 times more canon than shart & laezel
>>557623035Shadowlach is somehow the actual canon couple, which is weird since Karlach usually goes with Wyll to Avernus in BG3. I guess WOTC hates Wyll
>>557623492Wyll is not that kind of man.
>>557623492nobody likes wyll, not the fans, not larian not the jewish investors at wotc literally no one likes him because he has no personality and is barely a character
>>557623035Better be in the shitty hbo show
astarion & shadowheart will get entire episodes dedicated to them meanwhile wyll & halsin will get a cameo
>>557623035Ok.
>>557624948>origin epilogueoh you dumbdumb
>>557624674good
I like to edit Karlach into a straight tomgirl
larian ship karlach & shadowheartthe VA & people with shit tastes ship laezel & shadowheart
>>557625038Ok.
>>557625439Ok...
>>557625394Ok.
>>557625390>tomgirlsus
>>557625038>origin epiloguewhy does that matter? if shartxkarlach is canon then either karlach or shart origin is the canon playthrough
Karlach x Jenny better
Shadowheart cliffgateastarion ravengardegale baenre
I'll be honest guys, nowadays I find it hard to play anything but Barbarian. Not only is it fun as fuck to play, but Larian gave them such an incredible volume of unique responses that with just minimal Cha investment they can be as good as being party faces as a dedicated Cha caster.
>>557625394shart with lae'zel is more interesting than shart with karlach, but i don't really care either way
>>557626225The second 2 eww
Thoughts on tiefling women?
swen hasn't been very active on xitter so I'm betting on a slightly longer lore related trailer in march/april and a companion reveal trailer with itty bitty bits of gameplay during the summer game fest, maaaaaaybe an early access release date? bg3's was revealed in 2019 and its EA was released in 2020 they will probably do something similar for its sequel
Why the fuck does my game always brick when trading with quartermaster Tali? I get stuck in the trading screen and can't exit
>>557629215>he's not alright by jaheira
>>557628770Sounds likely enough.>Karlach at some point was a sorceress.That's just kinda weird.Also all those options and yet her actual most optimal class to play is Monk lol.
>>557628770/bgg/ is not for advertising Larian's Next Game or a place to share Swen's Latest Tweet. That's off-topic garbage, by the way!
>>557629490Ok.
I hope that we'll get to watch videos presenting famous voice actors talking about their characters again that was dope I wonder if they'll still cast theater kids as major characters now that they have fuck you money we also need more critical role VA voicing characters Matt was great as minsc
>>557615909Based problem solver Anon! I'm glad you managed to get to the bottom of this one, as I haven't even considered that he's using the Launcher. Why would anybody do this? I mean it's obviously not his fault that Larian sets their shitty Launcher as the default option and people just roll with it. But once you realize you can just run the .exe there's no reason to ever bother with it. Is this not common knowledge by now? I don't know, the situation makes some sense on paper but it also has a weirdness to it.
ayo why my game updating wtf is this
>>557632532new hotfix dropped
>>557632532Mr. Ma read my post about the Bonespike Helmet version of Menacing Attack having an incorrect description that implies Superiority Dice usage and Swen got a call on the red phone. This is the only rational explanation!>>557629215Like the X on the top right doesn't make the trading window disappear? Not even if you switch between "Barter" and "Trade" on the middle? Is this your first time speaking with Talli and is the problem exclusive to her? The trade icon suppose to be there in every dialogue where options are presented for you. (So no one-liners essentially.) Try the Asian First and the Gnome Harper who's talking at the nearby fountain and see if things work as they should there!
>>557631086the launcher doesn't usually cause issues, but yeah its common that its the source of the problem. sometimes the anti virus fucks with the launcher. sometimes the launcher bugs out if the game is run with admin privileges but the launcher is not. sometimes the launcher crashes because you had some program installed that optimizes software performance,(it tries to prioritize bg3 but the launcher is a separate application than bg3 itself so it bugs out)the list just goes on and on>Is this not common knowledge by now?not really unless you play this game a lot
>>557633628>Added Data/Patch8_HotFix7.pak (131.73 MiB)>Removed Data/Patch8_HotFix6.pak (124.58 MiB) Yep. Hotfix #36 except Larian didn't post a changelog yet.
they finally added new greetings for wyll
Hey guys, BG3 is the only crpg I've played but now I want to go back and play others. Are the divinity games good?
>>557637649dos2 is the only other larian game that has the same vibes as bg3 i m o, I recommend fallout new vegas if you like CRPGs with choices & consequences, vampire the masquerade bloodlines if you like good writing in your CRPGs and dragon age origins if you want a game that feels like bg3, they literally stole the camp mechanic from DAO
>>557637318Did they fix his voicelines being his old VA yet>>557637550No my mods nooo
>/bgg/ - Larian tech support generalNot gonna lie, I am unironically impressed. I'm not the guy but I also thank you for helping him with his issue. Even if it was simple if you knew what the problem was, you didn't need to stick with him to help. But you did. >>557637649Currently playing D:OS2. It's less cinematic than BG3 (main story is much less barebones with much less focus on dialogue) but the game is absolutely full of environmental storytelling (learning about things via exploring the world and implications/explanations given through side quests). The combat is also MUCH more challenging than anything in BG3. There are even some unfair instakill scenarios designed to catch blind first time players like me. But I still highly recommend the game if you like turn based combat.
>larian is so done with bg3 they don't even post the hotfix changelog on steam & twitterat least fix wyll & minthara before dropping the game...
>>557629490Minthara is canonically bisexual.Sex with little sister Orin.Godey Boney.
>>557640180>Minthara is canonically bisexual.true>Sex with little sister Orin.based>Godey Boney.funny
>>557637649>>>/vg/crpggIt's what that general is for.
>>557641003>the baldur's gate 3 general is unable to recommend games that feel like bg3shoot yourself
Bruh, male githyanki have no ass...
>>557641314ah but you see, we need the time to talk about halsin sex or why we hate minthara for the TWENTY SIX THOUSANDTH, FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY EIGHTH TIME so we have no time to help people who liked bg3 find another game that is like bg3we have better things to talk about than something which is arguably tangentially related to bg3 you see
Why is Emperor such a bitch?>Tries to deceive you like a bitch.>Gets humbled by some giths or just pretending.>Acts all high and mighty over his stinky past.>Gets freaky and thinks you are some tentacle fucking degenerate.This is my first playthrough and I cannot wait to fuck him up.
>>557642465>why is a mind flayer a piece of shitFirst time?
>>557642465his shirtless scene instantly made me hate him it just makes no fucking sense for a supposedly smart character to do that it's blatant fanservice for the people degenerate enough to find him hot aka larian
>>557642465He is a space jew, he has no soul and thinks of you as of cattle. And he is "one of the good ones", too.
>>557641314The catch-all general for CRPGs is more suited to discuss Larian CRPGs - a fact you're very well aware of. Moreover, it would be in anon's best interest to ask a general that is not biased toward the developer of BG3. Asking here runs the risk of receiving worthless fanboy opinions, including that of a parasite.
>>557642834not reading that :(
>>557642834
>>557643063Don't be so hard on yourself. It's not your fault you're a worthless parasite.
>>557634956Do you know what an experienced user sees from this? He installs the game, starts it and when the Launcher comes up his first thought is if it's actually required to play the game. Because if not it's bloatware and has to be bypassed somehow. He might press play for once in the Launcher so the game could create it's folder and config files but you can bet he quits afterwards and tries to use the .exe directly. Then when everything works as expected he forgets about even the existence of the Launcher. This is precisely what happened to me and BG3 is not my first Larian game. That's not saying I blame anybody for using what they were given by default but the fact that the Launcher is just an extra hurdle should really be all over in FAQs, Beginner's Guides and whatnot. For experienced players this is kind of evident but the rest don't even consider this to be a possibility, meanwhile - as you just said - it could be the root of multiple technical issues.>>557637649On top of what's been mentioned here /crpgg/ has a very good Recommendation image in their OP. You can look up titles from there and ask them what's the most suitable for your needs. BG3 is almost like pop music in this regard: it's great to get you into listening music in the first place, but it's up to you to discover what (genres) you really like and how deep you want to go. Lots of newcomers feel disappointed when other titles lack BG3's production value and cinematic nature, but the truth is they don't like the genre only this specific game alone. Divinity:OS games are probably a good continuation for you as they were also built on Larian's general design principles.
Trying to find good looking faces mods for BT4 human is fucking hell. There's fucking nothing and what little there is looks like a Bogdanoff.
BARBARIAN OR FIGHTER??
>>557643732Barbarian least lets you do more stuff than just attack and then use adrenaline to attack again.
>>557643732barb
>>557643732barbarian is superior
>>557643952>>557643983Aight. Which subclass? I'm inclined towards Wildheart since Giant and Berserker seem to be overly specialized into throwing, and getting Speak with Animals for free and not having to worry about potions is neat.
>>557643417>He might press play for once in the Launcher so the game could create it's folder and config files but you can bet he quits afterwards and tries to use the .exe directlythe problem is the common methods of closing the launcher don't actually work. if you go straight from the .exe file, the launcher still tries to open. if you use "--skip-launcher" in the steam launch settings, that doesn't truly bypass it either. as retarded as it sounds, "--skip-launcher" still opens the launcher in order to "skip" the launcher lmao. it probably wouldn't fix a crash issueonly %command% completely prevents it from opening, so that's why i recommended that
>>557644093Berserker is my favorite for throwing. Wildheart I haven't tried much but elk and eagle were fun to play, bear can tank
>>557644863>launcher skip doesn't actually skip the launcherWhat kind of retarded design is this?
>>557642834>>557643263ok i go rape you now
>>557440546Which way, Adventurer?
shar, selune, or bhaal for my shadowheart
Swen Vincke, savior of WRPGs
Someone show me Sven's latest tweet.
>>557647602it's about him disliking a squirrel that a publisher forced him to add in their previous game
>>557637649DOS2 is excellent you should definitely give them a go instead of some owlcat dogshit
>>557631086I've been using the skip launcher option in steam (which starts the game without the launcher) and even launched the game directly through .exe but for some reason only the %execute% command helped And as far as I know when I googled the problem, many people recommend --skiplauncher command but I've seen no one recommend %execute%
>>557641003>>557643417wrong retard /crpg/ recommended i play WOTR over DOS2 after bg3 and its literally the worst thing ever
>>557649287wotr feels janky after playing bg3 with its dialogue options and its cinematics
Man Bladesinger is just the most fun shit.
>>557649831 how do you even play it?
>>557649742amongst other things like>real time with aids>annoying wylladin>crusade management>player trap recommended feats
>>557650194act 3 is way more fun than act 2, fight me
>>557650270act 2 is short and sweet, I sigh whenever I have to go through the gith fight before reaching rivington, the sewers to find orin or the final fight act 3 is filled with terrible sections
>>557650194me
>>557650424Act 2 is fucked, half map is empty, encounters are more or less the same and I hate Gauntlet and that I NEED to save Nightsong or else all tieflings die.
>>557649931Shadowblade at the start of the day. Bladesong every combat. Choose a spell to concentrate on based on which resources I want to burn and how I want to handle the encounter. Usually a self-buff like expeditious retreat/magic weapon/haste depending on the spell slot I want to burn, or an AoE crowd control spell if it's more appropriate to the encounter. Stack acuity/synergy off my melee attacks to boost my spellcasting, spend extra actions gained from haste/elixirs to attack and cast in the same turn. I like going 6/6 wizard/sorc just to open up quicken metamagic and get more casting in per turn.
>>557650194Act 1 blows since half of it is spent pre-level 5.
>>557649287No one cares. That poster wasn't even asking for recommendations. Asking whether Larian games are good in a general about a game made by Larian is bound to get you biased answers.
>>557650906and /crpg/ is where the owlcucks reside so of course they'll recommend their trash
>>557650985WOTR is generally considered the better game
>>557650906> by Larian is bound to get you biased answers.from bg3 fans...holy shit you're retarded
It is weird how Bard is the least developed class in bg3, Like you choose your subclass at level 3 and thats basically it, there is little difference after and spells are kinda luckluster.
>WOTR is generally considered the better gameHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no
>>557651078you literally have to wait half a decade before getting the full experience I much prefer the way larian make their games and support them after their release
>>557651252Anyone with an interest in CRPGs and a high IQ will prefer WOTR 9 times out of 10. Baldur's Gate 3 is okay, but it's mostly false roleplaying and is more known for being incomplete than anything.>>557651312You'll be waiting forever for the full experience of Baldur's Gate 3 and still never get it. Broken scenes, broken skills, missing Upper City, wholly incomplete companions, nonsensical plot points stitched together from six different versions.
back to your containment thread owlcuck
BG3 secondaries calling anyone "cuck" is certainly an interesting approach.
bad bait larian games are objectively the most polished CRPGs on the market and they keep getting better and better if bg3 is a GOTY contender imagine the ludokino awaiting us in 2028
>>557651089Can the parasite be considered a BG3 fan? It spends most of its shitposts shitting on the companions and the writing. Could this ongoing distraction be considered on topic? Certainly not. But like the parasite, you'd rather shit up the thread with personal opinions or studio tribalism no one asked for. The general is /bgg/ - Baldur's Gate General. Talk about Baldur's Gate or fuck off.>>557651798Off-topic parasite garbage.
>>557651589anal with this smug frog
>>557651798this. in fact larian is such an industry leader that owlcucks went from RTWP to turn based, and now for their new game they're going fully voiced! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>557651858i think its interesting that you side with the owlcuck interlopers!
>>557651798>most polishedThey had to lie about Minthara's content being bugged before they finally admitted that they just released it in that state. Didn't even have a real ending and in many ways still doesn't. Orphaned soul coins, missing half a city, total nonsensical plot in act 2, baludran emperor, etc. The game is an absolute disaster held up a smoke and mirrors first act, some extremely poorly made sex scenes, and a whole lot of NTR.
>>557651908

of course the tranny would simp for pathfinder (a tranny game)
>>557651973Both the parasite posting about off-topic Larian games and the /crpgg/ tourist praising Owlcat games are garbage posters that don't belong here. Unfortunately, they are constantly enabled by like-minded shitposters and illiterate morons like you, and we're all held hostages by their childish compulsion to make these threads as insufferable as possible.
Never a dull moment.
I am helpful, am I not?
>>557652824>and the /crpgg/ tourist praising Owlcat gameswhich is you, you fucking mentally ill samefag troonrope nowput your neck in the rope and hang until you fucking die

Let's talk about Larian's next game: Divinity, the sequel to Baldur's Gate 3.
It feels out of bounds to give Lae'zel anything other than the obvious Lae'zel equipment that drops throughout the game, which kind of makes her more boring
>>557650785For me this is the selling point. Level 5 is a major power spike for (martial) classes but the more resource-tight and double or nothing nature of early game is charming. You're not swimming in consumables let alone magic items yet, and have to plan ahead more carefully as even a jump from a too high place can put you one foot in the grave.
>the guy who hates swine loves owlcat gameswho would have thunk
>>557653819Lae'zel is also the only companion without any unique/special powersBitch doesnt even know how to githyanki parry
Just give the rest of the githyanki gear to Minsc.
I still think that Wyll is awesome
>>557654004THEY TEACH A DIFFERENT CURICULUM ON K'LLIR OK
>>557654004what unique/special powers do the other companions get? >>557654035that would be stupid
Sex with Kagha
>>557654206I know exactly who says this
>>557654164Gale gets shadow slot(origin only)/lantern/kys cantrip, Astarion get the bite/ascension, Karlach gets fire damage, Shadowheart gets immunity to shadow curse and the ability to kill Nightsong, Wyll gets free rapier proficiency on every class, Halsin has some deuid spells and wild shape even respeced, Jaheira gets curse immunity, Minsc gets Boo and Minthara gets a unique buff ability
>>557654652>immunity to shadow curse and the ability to kill Nightsong>rapier proficiency>Halsin has some druid spellsthese are a bit of a stretch lets be honestI never use the other three so I can't say
>>557654857Its a stretch but it is a unique feature no one else has>Halsin has some druid spellsNah, whats more fucked about it that if you respec him into non-caster class he can cast them FOR FREE without expending any spell slots.
>>557654883Wyll and Sosiel are the same character in a lot of ways.
>>557655225they're both homos?
>>557655434Just because Wyll knows how to dance doesn't make him gay. Lots of men dance.
>>557654652>Shadowheart gets immunity to shadow curse and the ability to kill NightsongI'd say the immunity to the Shadow curse is next to irrelevant.Killing Nightsong is something RP wise i'd say, given that there are alternate ways to rid yourself of the character.Though she is denied the Mirror as a Selunite and gets a free +2 as Dark Justiciar.
>>557653906Well put. I love the thrill and danger of low-level D&D, before Extra Attack and Fireball and Spirit Guardians start to solve every problem. Act 1 also has some of the best fights relative to party level - the phase spider matriarch, Ethel, Grym, the inquisitor.
>>557654652>Halsin has some deuid spells and wild shape even respecedthis is just a bug. he has all the stuff from when he's an npc in the goblin camp
>>557648756Any pic? This sounds kinda funny. What publisher forces you to add a squirrel?
>>557656240There is no way to kill Nightsong other than bringing Shart. Also Shart has fear of wolfs. Not a perk but its unique at least.
>>557656776False.
>>557656468>Thats a bug, he has them because of [gameplay mechanic]
>>557656960how
>>557654004>Lae'zel is also the only companion without any unique/special powersWhat about automatically getting Weakened CON, INT and WIS from going first in zaith'isk? The interaction in this form is unique to her and it results special "powers"!
>>557657236Thats not unique since you can get it too
>>557654004>without any unique/special powerswrong she stole my heart
>>557657696lovely frog
>>557657696again, not uniquemany girls can steal your heart
>>557657807i literally feel nothing towards the other women (except for minthara)
>>557656983his cure wounds spell often doesn't work at all. his spells/wildshape are bugged and aren't removed when respeced. the bug is due to his npc state. it's not some intended gameplay mechanic like wyll's rapier proficiency
Most overrated character award.
