Heroes Edition>News:Patch 8: https://baldursgate3.game/news/the-final-patch-new-subclasses-photo-mode-and-cross-play_138Larian's next game trailer: https://youtu.be/VxzyVeAG00w?si=ECYrhOXC82uBkG7sBG3 HBO show: https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/fantasy/baldurs-gate-tv-series-twist-newsupdate/>Wiki:https://bg3.wiki>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.>Polls:>Romance: https://strawpoll.com/NMnQ5kJXYn6>Race: https://strawpoll.com/kjn18WPzeyQ>Class: https://strawpoll.com/eNg69DKKjnA>Companions: https://strawpoll.com/bVg8o8l3VnYPrevious thread: >>560582413
First for shadowheart
>>560861395it's not as strong as the other casters but you can still get things done with call lightning & haste
Gorion's Ward once said:Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is an official Dungeons & Dragons tm game.Minthara is canonically 150 years old, pansexual and neutral evilI collect barrels and throw them at every boss including MintharaMinthara did not watch Viconia leave in her childhoodMinthara is the throat goatI 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 birthnameShadowheart is not chaotic evilShar is neutral evilGale was groomed by MystraI play sorcererI camp castWyll is a characterI sympathized with KethericI play male TavI love dragonborns, halflings, gnomes and dwarves
Why do people think that Rogue sucks? I delete most enemies in act 1
>Larian's next gameThis is off-topic and advertising, by the way.
>>560861761It falls off hard
>>560861738So true
literally & unironically & factually canon
>>560861929Trvke
>>560861430my Tav is trans
Reminder that Lae'zel is a twenty-two year old kid who never left her creche.Every time she's getting uppity about Gith do this and Gith do that, remember that she has never actually seen Gith do anything and is a dork who has only done her training.
>>560861858bg3 needed a dwarf companion
>>560862090She's just young and naive.Right about the time she leaves that creche, Urlon takes command of it and he's also disloyal to Vlaakith and working for some conspiracy trying to unite the different gith species under its rule.
>>560862090A young adult chud being arrogant and prideful checks out tbhdesune
>>560862109I agree, preferably a caster, I don't think wrpgs ever had a dwarf caster companion for some reason
>>560862358Do clerics count?
>>560862358this art looks pretty gay
>>560862307I dunno. I just don't buy Astarion wanting to keep being an adventurer roaming the world.He's a prissy city boy who hates all muck and grime and sweat and such.
>>560862090What do you think of the swine's analysis of her?>https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/560242509/#560351210>its about her valuing strength and bravado because those are highly valued among githyankisClearly, the githyanki are nothing but a people of show-offs who act tough and mean (it scares the ghaik away) because this is what earns you peer recognition in githyanki culture. The swine is very smart.
>>560862453kinda? the only one that comes to mind is the pathfinder kingmaker one >>560862497it's the beard, if it's trimmed too neatly it make you look like a faggit
they became besties after the game
>>560862901lovers*
>>560861929>>560862901Remember how Shadowheart practically soaks her panties when you meet Karlach thinking about being bridal carried out of harm's way in her big strong arms?
>>560863014We love positive poly representation here
>>560863337even larian ships them
>>560862631>I just don't buy Astarion wanting to keep being an adventurer roaming the world.It's literally what he says in the post-game party when you go for the freedom ending. That he's found out he can be a hero if he just kills the right kind of people and monsters, and it feels kind of nice and allows him to keep feeding as he feels like.
>>560863337Its better than Shart x Laezel
>>560863643trvth nvke
>>560862901>>560863014Ok, but add my Tav in.
>>560863014I don't like pansexual Astarionhe's way too catty and gay for me to imagine him being interested in women
>>560863782that's tough because all the romances are pansexual
>>560863779Okay! Those 3 were my main party too
>>560864069>karlach and her harem of elves
>>560864112zased
>>560861858looks like it's perfectly on topic actually I wonder how:(
>>560864335he looks like he smells
>>560864559all necromancers do
>>560864335It's garbage that normalizes rule-breaking, off-topic "discussion," low-effort spam, and all the myriad ways you chip away at a general you hate yet latch onto. The fact that Mintharafag WARPED you is not cause to remove the Minthara question from the FAQ that had existed since August 2023:https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/search/subject/bgg/text/recruit%20minthara/order/asc/But you're garbage that invites more garbage, so this is what you have to offer.
How do I make Necromancy work in a way that isn't shitty summon spam? Don't really care if it's suboptimal.
my tav deserves a harem of elves too
>>560866038post your Tav
>>560866038You just need three of Shadowheart, Astarion, Jaheira, Minthara and Halsin in group. Ideally Tav is an elf too so elves can save the world and have an orgy together.
>>560866368
I played a barbarian and romanced Karlach, who I also kept a barbarian.
>>560866462>Astarion, Jaheira, Minthara and Halsingross
>>560863643Negative. Shadow’zel is peak.
>>560861929>wyll x karlach gets retconned for shart x karlach>shart's new mtg card has wyll's questlinewhy does wotc hate wyll so much
>>560867923you can't market a character that sounds bored, has a boring story, no interesting dynamic and looks like an NPC you'd find in act 3, I feel like even larian stopped caring about him midway through bg3's development
>>560867923nobody like wyll
>>560868190The most interesting thing about Wyll is his half-devil patron.Wyll himself is a big fat nothing. He's not even good as a cookie cutter hero.
>>560867923>shart's new mtg card has wyll's questlinethats really funny
>>560867923people simply don't buy products with their kind on the cover
>cucked by emperor>cucked by shartthere's a reason goblins called him captain failure in the early access
>>560869002Did the Wyllsisters cry?
>>560868796Mizora should have joined the epilogue party.
>>560867923>>560869002Shadowheart is a racist who keeps stealing Wyll's content
>>560869162yup, here's a live reaction
>>560869265our girl
>https://files.catbox.moe/9i4idf.mp3What has happened to this place?I don’t recognize it anymoreIt used to be so fun and specialWhat is life worth living for?The general is dead, our thread is gone;There’s a hole in my heart and I can’t go onThere are too many tranniesAt my /bgg/This was our thread, our generaland they’ve taken it all away.They just keep coming and coming; tranniesI tried to go and tell the jannyBut even the janniesAre tranniesAt my /bgg/...There’s no place for me to post anymoreAnd the schizos just keep getting crazierThere are redditors all around meThe shitposting has never been lazierIt’s a three day ban to try and gatekeepWhile off topic bait posts get to stay upJust let me say niggerThere are too many trannies - too manyAt my /bgg/ somebody do somethingWhere did they all come from?Why can’t they leave this thread alone?And it’s such a tragedy, feel a bit like dyingWe looked the other way too long.We’ve got to change our prioritiesAnd get all these tranniesOut of our baldur's gate general...Trannies.. Drow and Goblins...Tieflings, I think I even saw Githyanki, gross!Ao I’m asking please, get all of these tranniesOut of my /bgg/ ... my /bgg/ ..
>>560869876
>>560869002>black hairWas she just not able to fix her hair?I can't imagine the idea is that the preferred outcome is to actively to push her into evil. If you're just nice to her, she'll renounce Shar herself.
>>560869876GEMMY
*drows
>>560870074her most iconic design is the one on the bg3 cover so they kept it that way, they don't give a shit about continuity they only want to market bg3 characters for easy merch sales
>>560870074She is going to be the same as act 1
>Female Gale modThoughts?
>>560870665gay & retarded just like regular gale
>>560870665Gemmy
>>560870074They don't care about the characters at all beyond their ability to market them, which is why prologue shart is the one that appears in the faggot mobile game and why they made her gay with karlach
>>560870858She's got a thing for tiefs
>>560870858>and why they made her gay with karlachthat's the only good decision they've made
>>560870074If you play as Shart, she can keep her act 1 hairstyle.
>>560870665Mystra would never groom a woman
>>560871558kino
>>560871068>braindead yurinigger goonersnot even once
>>560870665It was neat how it rewrote her backstory, but I prefer Wilhelmine.
I have never beaten Orin in a true duel. The one time I beat her 1v1, it was because I had a few summons with me. Scratch kept helping me up after getting downed repeatedly.
>>560871558>Dad likes me more!
>>560872042I just jumped on her in Slayer form and killed her before she got to do one attack
>>560871831Do you break into tears every time Jennifer English says Shart is attracted to Karlach or Lae'zel?
Let me get this straightThe Guild hired the Zhentarim to help them out against the Absolute. The same Zhentarim we, as the party, have seen helping, selling, and smuggling goods for the Absolute. At the same time, the Stone Lord is suddenly threatening the Guild.The big climax of the quest is that the Zhentarim, the morally bankrupt mercenary group who we have seen working with the Absolute, turns on the Guild.It kind of feels like someone putting a jaguar in their bedroom - a jaguar that we've personally seen maul three people - and then being surprised the jaguar attacks them.
Shadowheart and Lae'zel competitive hatefucking while Karlach watches to judge the winner!
>>560872525Yes.
>>560873289this is the kind of camp interactions bg3 was lacking
>>560873289Some creative liberties taken with Pancakeheart, eh?
>>560872042I did it with a monk, stunning strike opener and pummel her to death and then cry because you couldn't fix and sex the little sister.
>>560873439>pancakeheart>her camp outfit has the second fattest ass of the camp
>>560873696The BG3 equivalent of yoga pantsStick them on anyone else and you'll see
>>560873793need chubby body mod
>>560874059Shadowlach is cuter
>>560874280this
>>560872525Do you every time you get reminded that she's a voice actor, not a writer?
>>560874424
>>560872654>The Guild hired the Zhentarim to help them out against the Absolute.I don't think that's ever stated.The Guild worked with the Bank to ambush a mind controlled Minsc, because he was being used to displace the Guild.The Guild tolerates the Zhent in their Guild Hall for whatever reason, only once you discover that Roah is fully aware of Minsc being mind controlled and under the Absolute's influence, the Guild has proof that they are actively working with the Cult to undermine the Guild.Though that is moot because Roah instantly turns on Nine-Fingers and wants to displace her once that is out.An asspull that the Guild is unaware of the Zhents are working with the Absolute, though.
>BG3 but all of the characters are white and straight>BUT>It is a financial failure that sinks Larian as a companywould you take this trade?
>>560874486So yes, it does upset you she's not a writer, many such cases
>>560874754Many such cases? Do you get mad about her canonical attraction to women that often?
>>560874551Zhents were hired to help against the Stone Lord, that's what you find out if you talk to them.
>>560870714but you could fuck her pussy>>560871172what is your basis for this?considering gale is hardly more masculine than astarion
>>560871051she's got a thing for strong people
>>560874551>I don't think that's ever stated.It's very explicitly stated by Nine-FingersI kind of just wish we were able to tell Nine-Fingers that we saw the local head of the Zhent doing business with the Absolute over the last, like, 3 weeks
>>560874615>It is a financial failure that sinks Larian as a companyOH NO, not Larian, such a skilled and beloved company that people care about.
>Neither Slayer form nor Displacer beast form have magical weapon attacks>Half the enemies in Act 3 take half damage from non-magical weapon attacksWhat the FUCK was Larian thinking
>>560875138>still seething because his favorite lesbo didn't write her own character
>>560874615no
>>560875807why does jenny trigger you so much. shadowlach is canon btw
>>560875807Are you seriously implying she had no input on the character? Shadowheart is literally named after her
>Alfira and her gf>Aylin and her gf
When and how did your Tav become transgender gender?
>>560876815
transgender gender
>>560874508>shart and her istik ass shit again
>>560876815true polymorphed against my will into a bisexual female tiefling warlock with a fiend pact daddy
>>560874615those two are mutually exclusive my brown friend
>>560877215BG3 was a financial failure anyways only appeared to be successful thought Tencent botting.
>>560877201One of the DnD books had two teenage girl tiefs trying to summon a devil but they botched up the circle and the cambion they summoned let them be in exchange of becoming the pact daddy.
>>560877396if you can get this many bots and keep them going for this long for only ten cents, why isn't everyone doing it?
>>560878515Are Cambions paedos?Think of the age gap...ick
>trickery cleric>bangs on a door with a maceWhy does Shadowheart have such a low INT score?
>>560879390shart a dumb whore lol
>no bro you don't get it bro it's actually pretty cool and intentional that Cazador isn't a cool vampire lord at all because he's an ABUSER and ABUSERS are NOT COOL>that's what a REALLY good video game storyline does
>>560879685he would have been cool if they kept his facial art
Do you guys even like this game?
>>560879685>Astarion had to turn his head and say yes daddy every night for decades to thatI don't know how anyone likes Astarion when he reeks of being pathetic even more than Wyll
>>560879685>implying Cazador isn’t cool
>>560879885no
>>560879885I like all of the games.
>>560880047He's a 1:1 version of "Asian dad who was mean to me as a kid" almost certainly written by an asian-american woman who didn't like her dadHe is not cool
>>560874615Yes.
>>560880107even Dark Alliance 2?
>>560880267Well, I don’t have any daddy issues, so I like him. He’s a magnificent bastard.
They should made him a half elf
"Cazador Szarr, the vampire lord and antagonist inBaldur's Gate 3, was primarily written by Larian Studios senior writer Stephen Rooney. Rooney also wrote Astarion, the companion closely tied to Cazador's storyline"Google AI overview
>>560879885I like Shadowheart.
>>560881024Excellent taste.
Shadowheart's fuzzy peach.
>>560881017Stephen Rooney is a Asian-American woman now
>
>>560881463who else would you use for tentaclelization?
>>560881024Oh the cuckzoomies won't like that.
Unlike the other characters you can't even drum up sympathy or pity for WyllThe only desire he imbues in me is to laugh at him.
>>560882475I pity what he could have been
>>560883427Another trans queen
>>560883926BG3 is transcore gamingHope Larian hits it out of the park with more queer writing in their upcoming Divinity gameMy cock cage is leaking just thinking about it
>>560883427sex with that drow
>>560884279this but unironically
Shadowheart spent 40 years in this place.
>>560879685"Good" writing is unconcerned with whatever subjective and often shallow impression you might form. What is "uncool" to you is apparently "magnificent" to someone else. Your definition of "cringe" is someone else's definition of "based." Why would the "coolness" of Cazador, or lack thereof, matter to someone who had been his slave for two hundred years? Just because the average capeshit movie-goer can only interpret characters through the lens of how cool (thumbs up) or lame (thumbs down) they are doesn't mean you have to stoop to that level.
>>560884629wonder where she kissed that gnome
>>560879685Cazador is dope but he's one of the victims of the upper city being cut, his clan & mansion got tons of lore but most of it isn't in the game anymore>>560884658NPC
>>560884658Cazador big mad someone called him lame lmao
>>560884773
>>560884890yeah thats all the shart enjoyer's reaction too
>>560884279Excellent shitpost, parasite. Remember to report that garbage.
>>560884773What the fuck
I have to ask again, but who hasn't had some degree of intimacy with Shadowheart
>>560885060Tarquin the necromancer
>>560885060Selune.
I really must be desperate to keep coming to this shithole.
>>560885060
>>560885320schizos always go all out before a general dies, it's the cycle of life
>>560884658>t.ranny
>>560885527why would the general be dyingi thought bg3 by Larian studios was super popular and ground breaking but no even wants to talk about it beyond cucks
>>560885751bg3 is still popular by all metrics, it doesn't have enough juice to sustain a general on it's own anymore is all
>>560884773>>560885060>who hasn't had some degree of intimacy with Shadowheart?Ironically, nocturne.
>>560885963>he doesn't know
>>560886019What did she suck his dick before he trooned out or something
>>560885963shart would find astarion cringe and he would call her an edgelord, that ship sucks
How rare are sorcerers in Forgotten Realms stories? They don't seem common in BG3.
>>560886091Of course notNocturne is just Shadowheart's "special friend" in a place where a bunch of horned up teens canonically hooked up with each other to practice seduction. Someone who had a "special place" with Shadowheart, which has a full picnic setup away from everyone else.I'm sure nothing happened between them
Shadowheart. Such a grim name for such a beautiful flower.
>>560886724200 years of sexual exploitation to become the ultimate catfisher and that's all he could come up with
>>560886787he's used to catfishing men
>>560886787He canonically is missing brain wrinkles.
You knowI think mintharafag is getting to meShart is a disgusting hoe
>>560886956ok
>>560886956anon whether if its a namefag saying it or not its all true. the namefag part is irrelevant
>>560884843Cazador doesn't even register on my list of complaints about BG3. Him being "uncool" apparently bothered you enough to repeat your shitpost. Coming up next - Does Orin being a "girlboss" glamorize mass murder?
>>560886956Frog superiority proven again.
>>560887350the frog is unfortunately a frog
>>560886675Very rare, there's a book series with even a warlock protagonist but nothing for sorcerers. It's cool that you're a rarity and you can make your own background, but it'd be great if some of the big movers and shakers shared the class so you'd have some examples of what to look forward to.
>>560887754you know what could have solved that issue? A sorcerer companion
>>560887824what race sex and backstory?
Just got the big arch. basically the laezel of hamburgers.
My Tav is a sorcerer princess
>>560887350>>560887562
>>560887824Yeah, I thought of durge being the obvious one but then again his lore is completely focused on being a stabby murderer and the sorcerer part is glossed over. He'd need some big rewrites for that.
>>560887939>raceorc/dwarf/gnome/halfling/tiefling/dragonborn>sexwith me>backstoryregular joe/jane that awakened psionic powers after getting tadpoled>>560888071oh shit companion durge would be cool too
>>560887754I think Sorcerers generally don’t reach the same heights Wizards do in spellcasting due to being spoiled by their natural talent.
>>560887983Based
>>560888140how would they be a sorcerer if their powers awakened with the tadpole
>>560879685>Wait, why isn't the shut in noble whose sole hobby was to torment his mansion staff and nothing else a big badass with an imposing voice and stature??
>>560888219tadpoles are magic enough to create sorcerers
>>560888071Sorcerer is an odd choice for Durge. Like, it makes sense, given his heritage, but it has zero bearing on the character’s identity when it really should.
>>560888372so would it be a different effect than the none completed ceremorphosis of Tav and companions?would they retain the power without the artifact?
>>560888149Just like there's variation in wizards, most of whom will never be chosen of Mystra potential, there is variation in sorcerers. The issue is that in current FR lore they're much rarer and much less prominent than wizards, but they don't need to be. Alassra Silverhand was probably the most powerful of the Seven Sisters when she was around, even though she was probably the only example of a really powerful sorcerer in FR while there's dozens of wizards..
>>560888539>so would it be a different effect than the none completed ceremorphosis of Tav and companions?probably? omeluum showed that not everybody's body reacts to tadpoles the same way>would they retain the power without the artifact?sure, maybe their power would disappear if the elder brain dies, that'd be an easy way to make character paths
>>560861738I refuse to allow schizos to co-opt the notion that mobile games are canon. I will never accept any "facts" revealed via gachaslop.
>>560888753Sucked and licked.
>>560888753
>>560888697Not even the parasite believes in the shit pasta it spams in every thread without fail. You just have to understand that it is obsessed with the namefag and very upset with them, so this is its way of trying to get back at them. Refuge in crass stupidity.
>>560888753>>560888994>even frog wants faerun's sloppy secondshalf elfnot even once
>>560889082you suck namejanny dicklet so much I half wonder if you're him. or just latching onto him to get yourself over.
>what the wrote wanted you to understand: sharran doctrines destroyed my sense of self I can't form bonds with other people and numb the pain with hook ups when I'm not using my body for intel gathering during missions>what chudcels understood: like ohmahgash I'm such a ditzy whore *gobbles cocks*you don't deserve bg3 & divinity
Lae’zel origin is fun.
>>560888685seems like a better player exclusive origin than a companion
>>560889572too bad you miss out on her voice acting and her romance
>>560889618I believe that, dark urge is such a success I really hope that larian will keep making custom origins, maybe even add them to the cover of the game
>>560889734That is the downside.
>>560889259I'm not even defending the namefag in that post - merely pointing out a fact. That shit pasta was started because the parasite was WARPED by Mintharafag. This is factual.https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/553545974/#553732537
>>560889483well thats not what we got
>>560889483>what the writers* wanted you to understand: i'm more used goods than many prostitutes>what chudGAWDS understood: she's for the streets
>>560889942>look i'm not defending the mantharafag BUT>you have to admit xir is pretty ebin. completely btfo chud.
>>560888994i like how THIS is origin lae'zel's dialogue here. i think racism turns her on
all you guys do is nag, be cringe and talk about divinity, post your favorite minor NPC
>>560890481Oh, totally. She loves when someone has the spine around her.
>>560890631>minor NPCGrrrrrrrr neeeds correction
>>560890631
>>560890248I do often defend and praise the namefag (who is me). But that's not what happened there. Merely playing the game and understanding that Minthara is over two hundred years old is not something exclusive to Mintharafag. Being profoundly stupid, illiterate, and a shitposter is not something exclusive to the parasite. Unfortunately. Now that anon I replied to knows.
>>560890631should have been a companion
>>560890767She signed her soul away to devil Epstein. She’ll get corrected, alright.
>>560891160>Nere does not fail>gets bullied by the entire campthat would have been peak
>>560889259its him. its even sadder when he talks to himself
>>560890481She looks so scared in the opening.
>>560889942>WARPEDanother common shitposter phrase. the case gets stronger.
>>560891246He has a tadpole and you can talk him out of the Absolute, it was the perfect setup ugh!
>>560890631for me it's arabella being trained by mizora and then shared with kagha
>>560891365well she is, just fresh out of high school
>>560891654>>560890767Jeffrey...
>>560879885I think I like my wife.
>>560891537I don't mind being mistaken for the namefag (myself). It's a compliment, as far as I'm concerned. But this isn't about them (me). It's about those that choose to ignore the truth to foster an environment where nothing is objective and every unintelligent headcanon is equally valid. In that alternate reality, Minthara might very well be 150 and the non-character might even have a character arc. Of course, people like >>560888697, who can read and reason, might disagree. That anon, too, must be me. Love pretty drow. Simple as.
>>560886956>>560887350If you're looking for a pure virgin waifu BG3 is not the game for you
>>560893057pic related is a virgin waifu
>>560893056>I don't mind being mistaken for the namefag (myself). It's a complimentThe prosecution rests
>>560888697This scares manthratroon and his schizocumguzzler. You can see THE Baldur Gate 3 listed amongst these.
>>560890631For me, it's Yenna.
>>560893056>uses his screenshots>polices how people play their games>writes autistic paragraphs>constantly goes into the archives>gets super mad when his headcanons aren't respected yep its you
>>560893778I'm also Untitledanon.>>560892254Name three things you like about her that are non-physical.
>>560893057Obviously, but Lae’zel wouldn’t be caught dead smooching some manlet or sucking off a troon. She has standards.
>>560892254She’s cute. Does she have a name?
>>560894113she's literally pansexual and would fuck a tranny gnome
>>560894113Laezel will fuck anyone
>>560894241her name is Robert
>>560894113the gnome is a creepy child molester tho. the cloister is bad yall
>>560894794Granted. Sharrans are fucked up.
>>560894794act 3 is full of diddybluds, larian can't stop being edgy but we still love them
>The one straight gnome in the entire game is a child rapistSeriously Larian?
>>560895173…shit, you’re right.
>>560895173the blind gnome got a daughter
>>560894794you mean Sharrans are bad people?
>>560894794No wonder Shadowheart is such a mess. Poor girl.
What if Shadowheart had a penis?
>>560893546And? I said I won't accept it. Nothing you say could convince me otherwise so you may as well give up.
>>560896386That would track with Sharran degeneracy.
>slaughtered the grove>slaughtered the myconid colony>going to slaughter the creche soonI am enjoying playing as the Dark Urge. All hail the lord of murder and his soon-to-be (re)Chosen.
>>560897239I recommend everyone play it at least once. It’s a wild ride.
>>560897239Which companions did you recruit and which did you kill or skip?
>>560886956between the gnome, what she says about "lovers back home", her comments on halsin and karlach, and the brothel scene, she is unironically slutty. you just have to decide if that matters to you or if you think she changes
>>560861430Why doesn't BG3 have any serious/canon mods? 1:1 transpositions of 5E subclass rules or races? Seems ridiculous, even the stuff that is ostensibly from the tabletop adds a bunch of homebrew nonsense on top of it for no discernable reason.
>>560900375Are there guns in tabletop 5e? I tried that PHB 2024 mod but when I saw it added guns I dropped it immediately. Fuck that shit.
>>560900835They're listed in a very vague format by period in the DMG but by no means considered a staple of the setting. I can't think of a single non-pirate who uses one from canon, and pirates like ninjas are always kind of just their own thing, but I'm not a full neckbeard. They also run afoul of artificers, though those are largely relegated to Eberron and left in kind of a weird gray rules area in Faerun, so it always depends on how your DM treats crafting, splatbooks, arcane artifice, the setting, etc. I wish they'd bite the bullet and put Gunslingers and guns in a PHB, simply stating that they're rare but so are heroes or some such nonsense. But with Pathfinder taking up that charge, it's doubtful it'll happen anytime soon largely out of pride and desire for a consistent brand to generate trademarks from.
>>560900375because the devs dislike 5e
>>560900375I assume 1:1 is boring. Didn't Larian add their own spin to most things
>>560900375>Why doesn't BG3 have any serious/canon modsNexus bans most mods that would make BG3 more serious and canon.
>>560893057>actual character (gnome) stating they kissed shart>*that* scenevs>some throwaway line frog saidyou sharters are so desperate LOL
adding sharter to my filter list
>>560894113>make your character a troon>laezel would fuck it and go further with itproof that laezel has no standardsnot a single romanceable companion in this game has ANY fucking standards
>>560901717I was just thinking maybe the extended launch and mod tool delay fucked the prospects for any serious mod community or something. You'd think there'd be a modular set of classes and races that attempted to be as 1:1 to the PNP as possible, with directly equivalent reflections wherever the devs clearly intentionally deviated to address >>560901968. Like yeah, maybe a die step up or an environmental effect like surface creation where it makes sense, or a quirky bonus action, but nothing that violates the spirit of the original design. Instead you get random homebrew shit nobody asked for. Just let me play a Spellfire Sorcerer already.
>just found out from a YouTube video that the Really Shadowheart mod actually fixes bugs like a buff to AC you're supposed to get if you pass the actual Dryad love testWhy doesn't this game have a universal bug fix patch/mod the way Skyrim does?
>>560904680because you'll have people pushing noncanon shit like the reallyshart mod
>>560904756What does canon have to do with it? If it's content that's supposed to be in the game but isn't due to a broken check, it should be fine to fix it and then publish the fix so others can use it. I shouldn't have to download a Shadowheart mod to experience something that is supposed to be in the game. Is it because the modding scene isn't as robust as in Skyrim?
>>560902604Proof that no one can resist the power of Main Character privilege. What kind of madman would play that, though?
>>560905009todd the fraud got the coomer crowd doing the modding for skyrim
You're gay if you don't have sex with Lae'zel in Act 1 regardless of who you're planning on romancing.
>>560907314Bg3 will get there eventually
>>560908393>you're gay if you don't want to have sex with an animalListen to yourself. Fucking degenerate can't even understand his abnormalcy.
>>560909997Okay but enough about what intercourse with you would be like
>>560910213Seethe degenerate. Unlike Lae'zel I'm human. Not a toad that can stand upright for bestiality fetishists like yourself.
>>560910475>I'm humanDon't think so, sweaty
>>560910558>n-n-nuh uh!!!>no defence>admit you're an animal fuckerCreatures like you make me sick. If I had my way you'd be culled so that decent folk like myself don't have to be around you.
>hag leaves>Lorin is cured>Efrin is not>he still dies from the hag's fake curseAm I missing something?
>>560910668I accept your concession, chud, thanks for playing.
>>560910683>hag leaves>Efrin is notYou have to kill the hag to cure him (can't accept the hair) otherwise he always dies. You used to be able to accept the hair and then have a character that's outside combat kill the hag, that way you get the hair and kill. No idea if you can do that anymore though. Btw all of this is on the wiki, just check it next time>Lorin is curedYou don't have to kill the hag for him to be cured.
>>560911530Yeah but I mean I feel like the logic is inconsistent. Why does one curse persist after the hag has left but the other doesn't? Both of them are conditions she inflicted on them, so you'd think either they'd both be cured or they would both continue to suffer. That's why I asked if I was missing something.
>>560911859>why are magic and curses differentBecause it's different? All magic and curses do not work the same way.
>>560911102Based janny, I kneel
>>560911991I think curses are a subset of magic but I see your point. Basically "it is what it is". This is how Larian designed this section and even if it drives me up the wall I just have to accept it.I still don't like it though.
>immediately starts cuck posting
>>560911102why did this get deleted
>>560912378It's often the case that generals get certain jannies hovering over what they think of as their little fiefdom.I wouldn't even ask because it draws their autism eye on you.
>>560912338I love this
>>560912159>curses are a subset of magicSure >but I see your point. Basically "it is what it is". This is how Larian designed this sectionNo. This was not my point and it is not the answer to your question.First of all not all curses are identical and not all recipients of curses will be affected the same way. Just like there are concentration spells that can be broken by distance there will be spells that can last forever. The answer could be as simple as the hag added something that kills the person should her distance be broken to one person while not the other. Just like how higher level spells are more powerful, she might have used a lower level curse. Maybe one person annoyed her more or she felt particularly cruel that day and wanted that person to suffer more. Also maybe she wanted the other one to have a chance to break free from the curse and then have to suffer with his mind being fucked and not knowing whether he's still cursed or not.
Is it really true, that Shadddy is hardwired in her soul to desire "H"?
>>560913074

There are literally only 2 people in the thread, why the fuck is the schizo even bothering
As Halsin and Shadowheart fall deeper for each other, he takes the lead as the MC running the party. His team rarely includes you so most of the game is sitting at camp with Gale and the pets and Withers asking about your relationship.Cut scenes with them sharing a tent, laughing and playing all through the night while you try to sleep next to "gassy Gale".The game proceeds this way where you get to hear about all the things they're doing in the world until they solve the crisis and live together in marital bliss, hiring you on as a caretaker (since you weren't involved much, you aren't entitled to much of the spoils)"I'm.... I'm really happy for you two" you manage to get out with a weak smile at their weddingThey smile politely and look at eachother"Oh, Astarion! Please do excuse us" Shadowheart says, leading Halsin away as you try to look casual standing alone by yourself.
>>560913520Because that's actually when it has the best chance to get away with it. /vg/ is such a fast-moving board that reports for non-nsfw might not even appear in the moderation queue below a certain threshold. If you need three reports for "spamming/flooding" and there are only two anons left, that spam might as well be invisible to the janitor. Most people would rather filter that spam than waste time reporting it, so here we are.
>>560913014So... it is what it is. But with in-universe flavour instead of it being an arbitrary design decision.
>they put Sebille's portrait in Ethel's hut>in a GREEN HAG'S HOME What did Larian mean by this?

>enter area of Githyanki creche>everyone in dialogue 2 mod suddenly freaks out whenever I have a conversation with ANYTHINGIt was going so well. Damn it all.
My biggest beef with BG3 overall plot it there's too much going on. Too many gods pop up to interfere, too many special snowflakes.I prefer it when it's kept more grounded.
>>560924179It's basically just the Dead Three, Mystra and Shar, Selune is only indirectly involved.If this was a low magic setting, this guy would be right and Forgotten Realms enjoyers don't want that.
shut the fuckWylll the Blade Ravengarde.
>>560925506aren't the Dead Three still in their half-god not-fully-recovered-from-being-killed lesser state?
>>560926239not him but if they can have chosen they are divine enough to qualify for anons complaint of too many gods

>Vlaakith allowed Red Wizards to Tu'narathWonder if knowing the supposed gith heaven is just a hub of evil plots and random villains around the multiverse would shake the faith of younglings like Lae'zel.
Does Karlach also wet her panties at the mere sight of Minsc when you're romancing her? That would be so cucked.
>>560936487She's just a fangirl for the OG Charname crew.
>>560936674This. She doesn't show any romantic attraction to Jaheira and Minsc and her reaction to both is basically the same, to imagine otherwise you'd have to be so cuckbrained you cuck yourself.
>telling a GOOlock to not listen to the random voice in their dreams telling them to eat tadpoles and gain their powerwho does Lae’zel think she is? nothing makes me happier than doing stupid shit for tentacle knowledge

Describe Inwe's personality.
>>560938446Benevolent and very loyal to the grove but not very headstrong and thus easily cowed by Kagha into going along with something she has doubts about.

>>560940015Truth be told, I don't think Viconia could be portrayed without upsetting someone. If you represent her as evil, you piss off everyone who romanced her into being good. If you represent her as good, you piss off everyone who romanced anyone else because it'd confirm Viconia's romance not to mention canonically she should be dead in that case. And obviously, if you make such a big plot of Shar and sharrans in Baldur's Gate and leave Viconia out, you're still gonna piss off people.
>>560941264Yep and then the New Viconia/Shadow will kill her
BG4 will be about a banespawn falling in love with a bhaalspawn

Is wild magic sorc worth trying, I heard its bad
>>560944685it doesn't scale as good as the rest of the sorcerer subclasses but it's still very strong since you're playing a sorcerer
Isn't it obvious? Netflix acquired us.
>>560944685It's fun, the game is easy enough and base sorc is strong enough that it not being as powerful as the other sorc subclasses doesn't matter.

>>560890631Dorrich "MVNPC" Manne
>>560954204Think that's been retconned.
>>560954204I wonder if you could survive it with something like santuary or that one spell that puts you into a coma but makes you immune to damage or sickness
>>560954442>Timeless: the effects of time were suspended until the traveler exited the Astral Plane, whereupon the effects retroactively occurred.Wiki still states that it's the case and the reddit post I originally quoted is only 2 years old. Seems like it's not? But I wouldn't know.>>560954448>The gith aren't immune to this, BUT they have developed spells to counteract it for a time.>only able to leave while protected by magic, forced to return to the astral eventually.There is magic to counteract it but presumably it has limits and isn't perfect. If the magic gets dispelled or interrupted in some way, you would die.
>>560954818Dunno what edition that is citing, but 5e dungeon master's guide doesn't mention it having that effect, it just says that creatures that live on the astral plane do not age, hunger or thirst and humanoids must raise their young outside of it.
>>560955725Also gith entries in recent monster manuals don't mention those protective spells. If they existed, casters could turn gith to dust with dispel magic though.
>>560955725Doesn't seem to be a definite answer and it varies? Up to the DM
>It's fairly easy, see: when Cazador sent Astarion to the kennel to punish him, do you think Godey boned him?>It's a silly double entendre, as "boned" usually refers to a sexual act, but since Godey is a skeleton and when know he has beaten Astarion, the joke becomes a textbook example of absurdism.
>>560954204Does that still apply if you make sure to keep eating a normal diet while in there?
>>560957439You don't get hungry or thirsty, many bodily functions stop working. You'd likely not be able to process food. But no, eating does not have an impact on this.
>>560957871...then I'm afraid I'm never taking the Lae'zel ending option.I mean, what the fuck man.
>>560957994You don't get retro aging effects in 5e.
>>560957994Just pop into the material world every now and again? Just like the epilogue, you can do that whenever you want a break. You don't have to be in the astral sea 24/7, you could take breaks
>>560958225If you're waging an active war, it's not like you're gonna get to decide any time you want.
BG3 but with a femboy softboy enbie bard companion Think about it
>>560958305I mean, what the fuck did you think a war would be like? But no soldier fights 24/7, you'd have multiple hours every day to chill, unless you're in active fighting zone but that would be the case regardless of where you were fighting.
Someone make a half convincing shitpost to bait me into making my next Tav a 12 Acid Sorcerer.
>>560958653...yeah? That's the point. If you're in an active fighting zone and can't leave for an extended period or, gods forbid, you go MIA and take a long time to return, being in the astral plane means you've basically already died.
>Tasha's Hideous Laughter is a pact spell for GOOlocks but not Archfey even though Tasha herself has become an archfey and can be your patron
>>560958798What? Just like you could do long rests during the events of BG3, you would be able to do the same in the astral sea. Absolutely nothing stops you from fighting for 8 hours a day and then taking a break. There's no difference between fighting a war in the astral sea vs fighting a war in the material plane when it comes to how much free time you'll have.
>>560958798That doesn't actually happen in current DnD lore.
>>560959031...you're not very bright, are you?>>560959062Yeah no I read that earlier, now I'm just operating on hypotheticals/earlier edition lore.
>>560959175>You can't eat and drink in the astral sea>wtf I don't want to go there then>You could just take breaks, it's the same as any other war>You're stupidAre you retarded or what? You literally said you didn't want to go to the astral plane because you couldn't eat or drink.
>>560960007Anon, do you think the fucking war is going to take a pause every time you need a break? Picture this situation. You're in a squad and there's a wizard in it that opens the portals for you every time you need to go eat and drink. What do you do when a fucking fireball makes him explode into a hundred roasted chunks and you're weeks away from base?
>>560954204Yeah, time spent in the Astral catches up to you when you return to the Material. Gith who have spent considerable time in the Astral have a spell that maintains that halted time when they leave it. Otherwise, Voss would turn to dust.
>>560960370>think the fucking war is going to take a pause every time you need a break?Wars are not constant battlefield 24/7. Soldiers are rotated out and get to rest. You aren't fighting 24/7, no soldier can do that. Spellcasters literally have to rest to recover their spells. You would fight for X hours a day and then have Y hours of rest. Sometimes there'd be overtime/crunch but that's not the norm.
>>560961248Yeah no, you're braindead.
Ah, he's only trolling. It's that schizo that always does this, just gotta learn to ignore him
>>560959062They changed that?
>>560961707Yes. Considering the implications for lore that's a good thing. Githyanki steeds are young red dragons, spend long enough time in the Astral and they could instantly turn into gargantuan ancients when they go to material plane and Vlaakith's contract says they only have to serve until maturity if they instantly aged after leaving.
>Creatures on the Astral Plane don’t age or suffer from hunger or thirst. For this reason, humanoids that live on the Astral Plane (such as the githyanki) establish outposts on other planes, often the Material Plane, so their children can grow to maturity.I believe 5e only states this and hasn't added or changed anything else. I couldn't find anything else about 5e and the astral plane. So I don't think it's retconned but up to the DM to do whatever they want.
>>560962082Ahh. Yeah, that’s a change I approve of. Makes it way more convenient to actually leave the Astral.
>playing a Githyanki for the first time>get an interesting dialogue optionGith don't produce bodily waste?
>>560963930It was a joke

>>560970431Depends on how much you intend to sink into Warlock. If you just want the bladepact, do Hexblade becase you get it + Hexblade curse at level 1. If you want to do a steep investment into Warlock, then blade pact (though you don't get hexblade's curse obviously)
>>560969964It's also the average reaction of players to a gith.

>>560978023Wizards at least don't have to give something precious up to their teachers like WarlocksMaster Readabook isn't going to demand your soul and eternal servitude in exchange for magic lessons like Jimothy the Devil
>>560978514Every wizard is a sex pest.You always give up something precious.The question isn't if you are going to get molested under the tutelage of a wizard but can you at least get something out of it.
>>560978514You could make your pact with a big titty archfey if you're lucky
Rion's armor is too elaborate for a minor NPC. As if she took a Leather Armour +1 and replaced the chest piece with a shortened Drow Studded Leather without the ornament and the straps at the top. It's also funny how she's using the same Warhammer that Paladins start with despite only having 9 STR. Her spells all over the place too but at least her DC is on point.
>>560978909Rion has already served a tour in the Flaming Fist and has access to Jaheira's stash of old loot.
>>560978849Are archfey mommies nice?
Who would you worship out of the Dead Three and why? For me, it would be either Bane or Myrkul, probably the latter because I find undeath control more interesting.
>>560978849I'd sooner trust a deal with a Lawfag DevilThe Fey are slimy pricks>Oh, sweetie, just give me your eye and I'll get that right out>Ewwww! I don't want to touch Netherese magic!>No refunds btw
>>560979375That's just hags who are explicitly evil, good and neutral fey aren't like that.
>>560979330Bhaalists are murderous psychos in an apocalyptic death cult, Banites are assholes with a superiority complex who want to lord over everyone, and Myrkulytes are depressed downers who constantly remind the world that death is coming.
>>560979105As long as they aren't evil.
>>560979941gib Zybilna milkers
>>560979105They can be. Fey run the whole chaotic spectrum, which means they can be chaotic good and wish you nothing but good.You can also get something like a hag like the other anon says, but you'd have to be really desperate.
>>560980059don't dry your skin out on faerun loseryou know a place with actual time got some space flies to grab with your tongue?
>>560979857There are two skeletons in the Bhaal temple, which are actually a couple who went through a Bhaalist wedding - murder-suicide with daggers. Only one of them was a Bhaalist and the other thought they were going to have a normal wedding in an unusual location.
>>560977454A form of mental illness.
>>560975462Filtered.

>>560980153Frog warrior princess
>>560979330They're all comically and irredeemably evil. Bane of the three is the closest to having nuance but the hate part ruins that.>>560980328I was going to play a druid but pussied out because of the low charisma and actually wanting to beat honour mode for the first time. Serves me right.
>>560978909Surely you did not just call Jaheira's adoptive daughter a "minor NPC."
>>560980647or you could be a Fathomless Warlock and make a pact with a Krakenthey have no bad intentions:)
>>560980041Before she stopped being evil she was actually DnD's equivalent of Maleficent for several editions
>>560981087I'll stick with my based genies.

>>560978514counterpoint: if i impress dolly thrice with my freestyle, she might give me fabulous magic powers
>>560981393What do genies want?What would the ask for a warlockship
>>560981393>based geniesEfreet, Marids, and Dao are all assholes thoonly the Djinni aren't
>>560976950>just want to be a normal man with a normal party>surrounded by freaks and monstersTav/Gale/Astarion/Shadowheart is the only good arrangement. Maybe sub in Jaheira/Minsc in late game.
>>560982068>living bomb>vampire>Sharran>normal and good
>>560982195This but unironically.
>>560981861Genies tend to like collecting stuff. They might ask the warlock to go looking around for rare creatures or items. Genies also tend to fucking hate each other and are permanently stuck in a sort of cold war, so you might be an agent to get their hand up against other genies. Djinni are also sometimes leaders of communities and are chaotic good, so maybe your djinni patron is just simply acting like your overprotective grandpa, in the style of the archfey that do the same. Or, you know, your genie gf. Don't judge me, it's the damn books that suggest your warlock patron can be your bf/gf if you're going for something approachable enough. And you can fuck Mizora despite Fiend patrons being one of the most dangerous kinds.>>560981913Marids CAN be okay, depending on individual, but yeah, I always lean towards djinni if I want a cordial warlock-patron relationship.
>>560982195Shart is a terrible SharranGale comes off as the most normal of the companions.
>>560982312Raphael is also surprisingly nice to Korilla.
>>560982195The vampire is the only one who rightfully acknowledges that the game is full of freaks t b desu
>Four now. Two of my warlocks are dead, two have thrown me over. Four of the remaining have no interest in me calling them any sort of endearment, and one thinks of herself old enough to be my grandmother, so I'm the one she calls pet names.”>— The cambion Lorcan, counting off the warlocks to which he served as patron.
>>560982312I wouldn't even need to fuck my patron.Just need to know that my magic is fueled by her bounteous assets.
>>560982724>not wanting to fuck your patrondont be a cuck
>>560982671Poor Lorcan Maybe I can head canon that he is my fiend pact daddy for my bisexual female tiefling warlock.
>>560982195all the companions are quirked up
>>560983053Would you want to fuck Raphael?
>>560983053Ehhhhh don't really care.Not like my patron is adventuring with me all the time.If the contract isn't too constrictive then I'm just using her as a sugar mommy.
>>560983053
>>560983208she can be your sugar mommy and still a side piece>>560983148 if raphael were a woman with huge tits yes
>>560983053if you make a pact with an entity that is powerful enough to give a Warlock powers and is willing to do the nasty with you as part of the deal, think about how many other Warlocks are probably balls deep in her
>>560983592You could also be the only one she likes that way, perhaps earning your the envy and hate of those other warlocks.

Wyll the type of person to moralize about what is right but know what is right by heart.He inauthentic.Like you know your granny loves you.Wyll doesn't give that feeling like he truly cares.
>>560984991that's because his VA sucked
>>560984991>raised by a single father until 17>afterwards the only one truly close to him was his devil patronTo be fair he did grow up in unique circumstances.
let's talk about our male companions
>>560985732If you become a squid you can find out in the epilogue that there's in fact nothing wrong with Minsc's brain.
>>560985732astarion looks 70 there
>>560985732>why are women obsessed with astarionI don't know, look at gale, wyll & halsin, you tell me
Was Tav canonically murdered by the Dark Urge in Baldur's Gate before the game? Was origin Shadowheart the canon MC?
I am the canon MC
>>560986089What?If Tav was killed by Durge wouldn't Durge still be on the Nautiloid?
>>560986538Not if MC is origin Shadowheart.
>>560985886but doesn't Dynaheir say he's gotten whacked on the head and started acting the way he does because of it?
>>560986596Why would Shart be MC if Durge is still there?You haven't said anything to give a basis on why the player specific origins are not longer relevant or why any of the companion origins aren't the MC either.
>even the normies are shitting on Wyll
>>560986698He must have gotten so many Heal spells that it's possible any damage was cured long ago and he's faking it.
The only canon that matters is mine.
>>560986836That's just how you can have a black hair Shart having adventures with Karlach, something the Mother Superior of Shar is unlikely to do, after the game.
>>560986850I mean duh, he fucking sucks and there's nothing to like about him
>>560986089if someone else is the canon MC, then Tav doesn't exist because Tav is just a blank slate random Baldurian for people who don't want their custom char to be Bhaalspawn in a Baldur's Gate game for some reason
>>560987003Explain to me why Shart is the canon MCCause I'm still not following...
>>560987525If Shart is not the MC, the only way you can have a black haired Shart after act 2 is to become a Sharran and a Sharran would be unlikely to adventure with Karlach which happens after the game according to the new books.
>>560987726she dieded her hair black again
think about it
>>560988141>Ketheric feeling his will to conquer being sapped by dat lizard ass
>>560986538Not necessarily. Orin kills him if you're playing as another Origin
>>560988379> if you're playing as another OriginThat still doesn't mean Shart is the MC
>>560986902>tiefling>muh oppression >muh equality
>>560988661Durge isn't shown to be alive in WotC's canon. I think that anon's logic is "Permanent Act 1 hair Shart is only possible on her Origin, therefore Origin Shart is the MC"
>>560979072That part is okay. Is there any other similar NPCs of with a homemade custom armor though? I can't recall any. Clusterfuck weapon and spell selection is one thing but this armor required some effort from an artist. I wonder why did she received such distinction.>>560980907>interacting with her is fully optional>no involvement in any quests>choices in her dialogue tree don't seem to have any consequencesWhat would you call her then? Her relevance is restricted to giving some background info and maybe an Inspiration or two.
>>560988667>says the pathetic frog that grovels at her superiors in her society
>>560988667Way to generalize. Maybe some tiefs are too busy saving the Sword Coast to care about that shit.
>>560989125lae'zel being japanese coded means she has to respect her elders you dumb fuck
>>560989825is that why she cries when getting japanese coded by my dick

speaking of japan we really need an asian companion, people like wyll just can't be popular
>>560987726>she dyed her hair therefore this is how her hair must remain until the end of time
