>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: 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.

I could understand the rationale behind shilling Larian's Next Game in the OP, because that's what a parasite would do, but why remove the question about romancing Minthara? Did Mintharafag warp the parasite to the extent that it needed to remove a question that had existed for years?

Why is everyone here so bitter about the obligatory lawfag character? I bet if Wyll were a cute girl with the largest breasts of all the companions no one would be talking about her being boring. Instead they'd be saying shit like "I want to fuck her".

not even mentioning that before act 2 even starts laezel can realize that her queen is lying and then the lost prince's personal guard finds her and tells her only she can find and save the liberator of all githyanki
in both scenarios she is a chosen one even if she's not the actual liberator they hype her up as the reason any of it can happen at all
the only thing stopping her from claiming her destiny outright is your plot armor as the main character

People talk about how EA Wyll was better often, which is true, but let's not forget EA Gale was a million times better too. He had murdered multiple other high level wizards to absorb the weave from their very persons, he wasn't just munching on artifacts.

Shart was also much cooler, she was actually hard to read and was standoffish. Now she simps for you right out of the prologue if you simply break the pod.

Everyone got toned down to be normie friendly from EA. bg3 was a much darker and harsher game before """"""feedback"""""" that the companions were "mean to me" and weren't all misunderstood or abused heroes. Gale and Wyll were bastards and Shart was a bitch, and the game was literally better for it. """""Modern audiences"""" strike again.

People spreading misinformation on purpose and the people who say "wow really?" without playing the game are a funny combination.

No companion cheats on you. No companion has cuckoldry content either, except for a non-consensual section where Gale is uncomfortable with an orgy and chooses to sit out and watch, which only happens if you're a selfish inconsiderate partner who ignores his protestations.

Shadowheart actually denies you from participating in an orgy and you can't do it and you have no dialogue option that leads to doing it unless she has had the monogamous sex she desires for herself, and after that has been satisfied, she acquiesces to an orgy after you show interest in it yourself first and bring her along and you select dialogue that shows interest. There are multiple layers that tell us the character wants you and you are what matters, but people see that she acquiesces to an orgy when you show interest in it and they say "wow look!". There's also a line where she says Karlach is attractive and a line where she says Halsin is attractive so they think this somehow means she always wanted to cheat on you, or always wanted an orgy with them.

A seldarine drow could roleplay it like "madwoman she may be but even one as wretched as she deserves a chance to start with nothing and reflect, take her weapons and armor and leave her".
But more options is something I wouldn't turn down so putting her in Sazza's cage would have been OK too.

It's unironically not her fault. Evil cults do this kind of stuff all the time, even irl. Shart was kidnapped and then manipulated from childhood to believe she owed these people her life. Not to mention the actual, literal magical brainwashing. I don't hold her responsible for any of these sorts of things. Consent was dubious, even though at the time she would have consented. Thus is the nature of brainwashing.

I also find it funny that most of the anti-Shart comments are in regards to her having sex in the past of thinking Halsin is hot. These are pretty tame, normal things. Yet she worships one of the absolute worst, horrible gods in the entire game, and people are just like "yeah yeah whatever" then go back to complaining about her saying Halsin is hot. It's a mixup of priorities.

But the brainwashing stuff applies to her Shar worship, just like her romantic past. Brainwashing, memory manipulation, and the entire orchestrated "rescue" to deceive her into trusting them.

When the character becomes aware of how the Sharrans lied to her, she advocates for abandoning Shar, as well as monogamy in her relationship. These are what she decides when she is in control of her life. So these are what define her. Shartfans need not worry.

Most of them were, yes. The changes to Wyll, Shart, and Gale were for the worse. Halsin as well.
The repercussions of listening to reddit feedback were a disaster for bg3.
That being said, it still managed to be game of the decade, so that's testament to everything else the game had going for it. But it could have been even better, which is crazy.

I don't think there is much difference between EA Shadowheart and the current Shadowheart. Sure, lowering approval thresholds so she becomes less abrasive and more confiding earlier than in EA changes how she is perceived by most players, but the characterization didn't meaningfully change. If I were to nitpick, I would only change her response to a non-romantic player character asking what she thinks of them. Being treated as a life-changing friend when we've only been traveling together for a few days feels awkward.

Everyone in Tyranny are openly contrary to each other because of the manufactured internal collision in the empire. Over the course of the game you can form genuine friendships with some of them but that depends. It's also just a good game in general.

There are several characters in the original bg1/2 that oppose each other and can even kill each other over their different views.

In swtor the jedi knight has to ally with Lord Scourge, who is responsible for several high profile character deaths that I won't spoil and is a Sith who never stops being Sith, so his relationship with a lightside knight is pretty interesting.
Kaylio undermines you, Skorpio is clear about her ulterior motives and how you're a lesser being, and Skadge is just a bad attitude miscreant in general.

Alistair and Morrigan are constantly teasing and insulting each other, and it's nice to see them meet in the third game knowing what they started as towards each other.

Fane and Red Prince both have various disrespectful elements to them and have ulterior motives.

Iron Bull is open about his ulterior motives, and of course Solas has his whole thing I won't spoil.

So there are lots of games where one or more companions are opposed to the player in one way or another and you work together despite it, or have some kind of personality issue or flaw. It's a nice change from so many games where the party is your little toy solider army.

No but it makes sense. You'd have to have a pretty husky voice as a woman to get to those tones.
That's something that always felt weird to me. She sounds so high pitched but you naturally expect dragons (and thus Dragonborn) to have deep vibrating voices.

>>560257754
I've done so many runs in groups of varying sizes. But playing D:OS2, which has a buff for people who play solo/duo, made me curious about how I'd manage it in BG3 with no prior planning.
The result was that I lost a half dozen runs to stupid shit and now I am being super careful and doing things like nuking goblins near Ragzlin with smokepowder bombs (and Ragzlin himself before he rages, I got lucky and he was in a group due to pathing trying to get to the spiders I recruited), running with people as improvised weapons to teleport points so I can break up annoying encounters (got a surprise when I saw one of the fake Paladins can use Hold Person, thank god she was solo and I met the saving throw on the very first try), and other gameplay quirks I would never have considered were I playing in a group.
The downside is that I live in fear of dying and losing all my progress. I'm almost level 5 and I really don't want to have to redo all of Act 1 AGAIN.

To add to this I learned from this solo run that if you intimidate the windmill goblins into backing down, save and quit, then reload to fight them for extra XP, the majority try to FLEE COMBAT at their earliest convenience. I can't believe that Larian planned around double dipping. As far as I've noticed this is the only time this happens.

I am doing the opposite. I am making custom companions because I am bored with the characters. BG3 party arrangements are very limited.

There are multiple situations where double dipping doesn't work, like when you command the Flind to turn on the other gnolls you won't get XP from killing any of them.

>There are several characters in the original bg1/2 that oppose each other and can even kill each other over their different views.
This may be somewhat overstating it. There is your usual banter with jabs and insults, but only Keldorn and Viconia are truly incompatible, if we exclude niche scenarios (like a disgraced Anomen). When Keldorn has his outburst and decides he can no longer suffer the presence of a drow, he just comes off as an insufferably myopic bigot. BG2 did have great banter and party conflict that fleshed out what would otherwise have been one-dimensional companions, but that, unfortunately, remained limited. BG3 does party dynamics right by having companions who can't stand each other at first (Lae'zel and Shadowheart), but eventually become allies with begrudging respect for one another. This avoids both the found-family trope that plagues so many games, old or new, and the forced "I don't like you, drow! Die!" type of conflict in BG2. You defeat the Absolute, and everyone goes on their separate ways without pretending that they'll forever remember the friends they made along the way. No tearful goodbyes or lingering hugs. Forced friendship is unrealistic - as is forced conflict.
>>
>>560260197
The logic is probably "Lae'zel doesn't care about Scratch or Mar'hyah either way, but doesn't like that you'd criticize abusive training methods". I mean, that seems to be pretty much the entire basis of her identity.

Yeah, I don't disagree with this. I do wonder why Minthara approves of giving up Scratch, does she not like animals? I haven't actually ever recruited her so I don't know her personality.
She says the following though >>560263261 so these contradictionary opinions are an oversight. Question is only which one is the canonically opinion of Minthara, does she like or hate Scratch?
>>
>>560265937
She approves if you are nice to the caged dino in the circus or His Majesty, maybe she's a cat person.
>>
>>560263873
don't worry I rewrite her in my headcanon fanfiction

she approves because act 3 is an unfinished mess and minthara is a half-assed character
>>
>>560266314
She literally says that Scratch reminds her of her first Displacer beast and that's why she likes Scratch. So yes she's a cat person but supposedly Scratch reminds her of her cats. Maybe that's supposed to be an insult?
>>
>>560265937
She likes scratch and animals in general, but she's Lawful Evil so the act of stealing the rightful property of Sword Coast Couriers just because the handler is mean goes against being lawful.

Wyll is neutral good
Halsin is neutral good
Karlach is chaotic good
Minsc is chaotic good
Shart is lawful neutral.
Jaheira is true neutral
Gale is true neutral
Laezel is lawful evil
Astarion is neutral evil
Minthara is neutral evil
Durge is chaotic evil


They all have the bg3 playables. Here's Shart's. They have the canon age too. Shart and Gale's alignment can change.

This. I can’t bring my computer to work with me.

>>560267746
Jaheira's true neutral status is from legacy games, in BG3 her behaviour and reactions are in line with neutral good rather than true neutral. Even Wyll can stay in the party if you become the chosen of Bhaal.

Is Shadowheart the trickster cleric really lawful?
>>
>>560268154
It's because druids in early editions were supposed to be neutral because they cared about balance in an autistic way, like if they thought there were too many peaceful villages in the region they'd help a goblin horde to sack them. Obviously this doesn't make a very good companion in a vidya so someone like Jaheira didn't do that in practise.

As an eager jackboot of Vlaakith, Lazy is Lawful Evil. But her story pushes her towards the more Lawful Neutral Orpheus.

As the Blade of Frontiers, Wyll is Chaotic Good. He does not join an institution that protects people, he follows his own rules and does it on his own. But his story can push him more towards Lawful Good when he becomes duke.

Gale is the tricky one. He advocates for Good things like helping the tieflings and saving random side quest targets, but he's right there happy to enact Karsus Folly 2.0 which kills millions and disrupts the very fabric of reality due to his hubris and ambition. His story touches on one of the flaws of the alignment system, which is that your actions can have massive consequences you didn't necessarily intend.

As a devoted cleric of Shar, Shart is Chaotic Evil. Thankfully, her story pushes you towards redeeming her, where she ends up True Neutral at the end. Wanting to retire to a farm and look after yourself and your own family is Neutral.

Minthara is happily Lawful/Neutral Evil. Her advice is self serving, she wishes to conquer and rule over others, she is happy to use whatever means towards that end be they good or evil (which means you're evil), and she kills people all the time.

Minsc is Chaotic Good and is often used as the archetype of Chaotic Good he's so Chaotic Good. It's funny though, his alignment actually did change from his original player character sheet 20 years ago, but what he has become is very archetypal.

Astarion is Neutral Evil because he does evil things for entertainment and personal gain. You can steer him towards being more True Neutral, and he says he's happier in that ending, so one could say he would be True Neutral without his trauma influencing him.

Jaheira's alignment in bg2 is True Neutral, which fits. She defends the city and is mostly upholding the status quo, which is Neutral, and the Harpers do some shady things not just good things.

Shadowheart doesn't do a single lawful thing after she turns from Shar. One of her exit party lines is something like: "try to be good, but if you can't... just don't get caught ;)". She lets you become Bhaal's chosen too. A lawful good character would kill your ass for that

She's not. Looking after yourself and your own family on your farm in retirement is as Neutral as it gets.

>>560269505
Neutral and Evil people can be heroic. People think of the Harpers as good because they most commonly oppose evil entities and their wiki page cites them being described as good, but their actual mission statement is more about maintaining the status quo, which is Neutral. Harpers engage in misinformation of the masses, kidnapping, torture, and various other shady CIA type stuff to get the job done, they just generally do it against bad guys so people like them.

>>560269602
It's funny because it is blatantly wrong about some matters of fact, such as Minthara's age. It's literally impossible for Minthara to be 150 because she refers to Viconia's exile as happening when she was young. Look up the dates between Viconia's exile and Minthara saying this in bg3. The intern who works for the mobile game spinoff doesn't know the lore.

Mintharafag is right. Viconia was exiled in the 1290's and bg3 takes place in 1492. To have witnessed Viconia's exile, Minthara needs to be at least 200 years old and that's without however old she was when Viconia was exiled since she wasn't 0 years old. Disagreeing with simple math just because you don't like the person is peak derangement syndrome and you should touch grass.

In general, people need to stop interpreting approval flags as if they're the be-all and end-all of characterization or as if a person can only rigidly approve of one possible answer to a question. For example, if you side with Lae'zel during her clash with Shadowheart, this earns you 10 approval. On the other hand, if you convince Shadowheart to avoid bloodshed, this also earns you 10 approval. Does this mean that Lae'zel is written like a schizophrenic who doesn't know what she wants? No, it just means that she approves of you either siding with her or acting like a proper leader. Character approval is often not mutually exclusive. Characters are not robots. Minthara can hold genuine affection for the dog while also approving of giving it back to its rightful owner. Minthara can hold genuine disdain for wizards without outright hating Gale.

Here's the exact quote. She was young, but old enough to be there and remember it, meaning she was a preteen or teenager. Meaning she is more than 200 years old, she's 200+however old she was at the time. This is a simple matter of fact and I just find it so funny that you have someone who played all the games and knows the timeline to happily share that info with you, but you fight and pitch a fit and disagree to the last. It's so pointless and you're wrong every time. I don't get it.

Minthara is like 260 years old, and we know that because we know how much time spans between Viconia's exile and the year bg3 takes place, and the character says she witnessed it happening and that it "let an impression on her" just like I said. This entire thing is such a shitpost topic. The wiki written by an intern who works for a spinoff game is literally just wrong, and we proved it. The same is true with any other timeline or alignment issue if it contradicts the main games.

It's especially frustrating because the last area before the brain is chock full of enemies, clearly Larian wasn't afraid of having way too many characters on screen. I refuse to believe that the only constraint was the dingey was big enough for just 4 people. Maybe they didn't want to do testing to make sure more than 4 people wouldn't be buggy? Or thought that all companions and hirelings was just way too easy and would've had to put yet another dragon in the game.

Alignment is an outdated concept that doesn't - and cannot - capture the complexity of a character in two little words. "Neutral Evil" on its own cannot encapsulate Minthara, any more than "Lawful Neutral" can encapsulate Lae'zel. Don't feel bad about starting this, however. It's always a good thing when the facts are brought to light and at least one person is better informed as a result.

I like it because I don't think it's meant to capture the complexity of a person. It's just supposed to be insight on someone's thought process. An inference that their ideals trend in a certain direction. Kind of like oaths but less autistic. People not understanding this is exactly why the system died out, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a fun idea.

A sacred Oath is the source of a paladin's divine power. While paladins are often devoted to a deity, this is no longer a strict requirement in 5E. Faith - much like the above-discussed alignment - becomes descriptive rather than prescriptive. The Oath comes first and foremost.
>>
Just because oaths are independent of gods does that mean that a Paladin cannot get their powers from a god while swearing an oath? Does that make them a Cleric or could they still be a Paladin?
>>
>>560279216
Why not both?
>>
>>560279216
It does sound like what >>560281007 said, a multi-class into cleric from Paladin. I guess it would depend on exactly what you swear (the wording, in other words) when you make your oath. Your powers in your oath CAN come from a god, but it isn't mandatory anymore the way it used to be? DND is a RP game after all, if you clear it with your DM you can make just about any scenario work.

I haven't even considered actual combat as yet, just remembering how bulky it was even with a full party. A bunch of HP, almost as much temporary HP, heavy damage, and the ability to nullify any damage that isn't 15 or lower. It sounds like a boss right out of hell.

>after artifact
Gale is already on track to hunt down the Absolute. It would be wasteful to risk any more valuable pieces, as the gods are forbidden from direct intervention by Ao. The means for her to intervene in mortal affairs are in short supply, so she probably has to carefully weigh her options. Why risk two pieces when one is already working hard to stop the threat without you even needing to ask? And as Gale said, Elminster has saved the world enough times already.
>before artifact
Fuck if I know.
>>
>>560288215
I mean, if Gale actually does what Mystra says, the Netherbrain and the three Chosen all get blown to hell in Act 2, so it clearly wasn’t a bad plan, and it gets rid of that pesky Netherese magic fragment in the process.

Elminster is probably waiting in the wings as Plan B.

>>
>>560294480
Dunno where Shar/Shart as Lawful/Chaotic Evil comes from. Devils exhibit the behaviour of LE, to me the alignment is supposed to embody the mindset of those who provide aid for selfish reasons, or grant power with a cost. It's like aid with a cost. That mindset doesn't sound like Shar at all. And Chaotic Evil, the kind of senseless destruction and cruelty it represents, isn't Shar or her followers either.
I don't know what I'd have labeled Shar as, honestly, but Neutral Evil sounds like a good placement. Like cruelty to no particular end, she is cruel simply because she is. She doesn't delight or revel in the suffering, and it's not in service to some grand or greater purpose or plan. It's simply who she is, you will give her everything and when all is said and done she will leave you with nothing. Reminds me of that tale in game of the Shar devotee whose goddess never bothered to claim their soul in the City of Judgement.

Mintharafag said Shart is Neutral. It's Shar's influence that made her evil before she gets redeemed. Strange to lie about what he said in the same thread where he said it so people can see you're lying.

>this is no longer a strict requirement in 5E.
It was never a requirement for Paladins to serve a deity 'except' specifically and exclusively in the FR because Ed wanted Paladins of Sune and used serving a god instead of being always Lawful Good.
They simply changed it to the norm for FR when it became the default setting in 5e.

Sharran murder is not wanton slaughter, and therefore not chaotic evil. That's closer to the Bhaalist idealogy. Just because they kill doesn't make them chaotic evil. Please reevaluate your position.

Both Shar and Bhaal are considered Neutral Evil deities, but the worshipers and clerics of a deity need not necessarily share the same alignment. Bhaal's portfolio is Murder - the deliberate, violent, self-serving taking of life, rather than indiscriminate - yet individuals like Sarevok and the Dark Urge acted in ways that leaned more toward Chaotic Evil. The Slayer, as an avatar of Murder, blurs the line even further. Mintharafag's labeling of Shadowheart as someone who used to be Chaotic Evil is somewhat questionable, but that's not to say Neutral Evil or Lawful Evil are necessarily better fits either. These are subjective interpretations, not answers to a math test. Shadowheart was indoctrinated and repeatedly brainwashed when she tried to resist. How much of the evil she committed as a Sharran was truly her own choice is debatable. Some would argue none of it was her fault, and some would say she still had a choice, as constrained as it was. It becomes a philosophical difference. All of this is to say that alignment is limited when it comes to describing individuals, which is why D&D gradually moved away from the system. We can quibble all day about where on the Evil axis characters like Astarion and Shadowheart used to fall, but that would be fatally reductive.

The only NPC I did pickpocket was he Djinni at the Circus for 4kG and I used bigger chunks without a hitch. Pumped up skills, Advantage on SoH/Stealth gear, Great Invisibility. Granted my char was quite adept at these things to begin with but that's the gist of it.

>>560286904
I believe you can bait the Minotaurs into a fight with him by taking advantage of the Bulette's territorial nature. They won't solve your main issue altogether but they're perfect for softening him up. If you test things beforehand with a separate char and use a Stealth build on HM I can see this tactic work.
