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: >>561878064

I like that Aylin clearly has severe anger issues after spending a century being killed repeatedly to ascend Dark Justiciars and feed Ketheric's immortality.
>>562096061Yeah, I suppose you would have to be mentally ill to appreciate him.
if ketheric tasked someone to build moonrise in honor of selune and emperor got turned into a minflayer in moonrise after founding baldur's gate wouldn't that make ketheric older than baldur's gate? and how did emperor survive centuries despite mindflayers living up to 100 years at most?
>>562096264understandable honestly
>>562096527You’re putting more thought into that “twist” than the writers did.
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 castYou can't Mayrina's brothers' corpsesKarlach is okay for using soul coinsWyll is a real characterI sympathized with KethericI play male TavI love dragonborns, halflings, gnomes and dwarves

>>562097579WEGETIT
>>562096527The Writers didn't exactly think this plot twist through.The colony was also supposed to be dormant ever since it the squid empire was overthrown a long time ago, but somehow it managed to capture Balduran, turn him into a mind flayer and enslave him to the will to the Elder Brain that was sleeping.Hence why presumably no one noticed it when Moonrise was built, as the thing seems to be built literally on top going considering you can get a glimpse if you climb down at the prison.My pet theory is that rather than having Balduran get turned into a squid by random colony #345, he chose the one that was featured in the game, despite not making a lick of sense in terms of the timeline.
>>562097579I don't even help Shadowheart escape the nautiloid anymoreI stand and watch her pound on the pod, and I say outloud "You know what you did." Then I turn and leave.Halsin? Dies in the goblin cages. And then I restart. I have done this around 30 times now.I will never forget what you took from me Halsin.

>Larian's next game trailerThis is off-topic advertising and should be reported. It was surely worth wasting 150 posts to rush to this thread.>>562093923If the namefag were indeed a janitor in this little delusion of yours, would they not delete all the falseflagging, shitposting, and slander that targets them? And if such worthless shitposts are allowed to remain to maintain plausible deniability, then on what grounds could you possibly accuse them of being a secret janitor? Mintharafag ignores the shitposting and personal attacks, which requires grace, I might add. Something your kind - self-important, arrogant, deceitful - is utterly lacking.>>562096527>wouldn't that make ketheric older than baldur's gate?...No. Baldur's Gate was founded a long time ago. Moonrise was built a little more than a century prior to the events of BG3. There are no continuity issues if you assume Balduran was still alive at the time. The squid's lifespan does raise some questions, but it wouldn't be the first time it breaks established lore, namely because it is a mind flayer that somehow retains most of its host's personality. More importantly, the squid's former identity is not particularly relevant to the player character or the player, and exists solely to loosely connect it to Baldur's Gate. Don't think too hard about it - not because that would expose a timeline inconsistency, but because it doesn't matter.
>>562099913holy shit
>>562099913>If the namefag were indeed a janitorYou confuse jannies with mods, and attribute the powers of one to the other. Namejanny largely ignores attacks NOW, having been beaten into submission, but he was a hurricane of autism and obnoxiousness for a long time before that. Because he has severe autism and zero real life experience with adult relationships he projected a tradfag porno attitude onto the game's characters and it poisoned the thread terminally. And while his mistaken ranting on Shadowheart is what he's best known for, he's had tons of other stupid takes as well that he couldn't let go of, from Paladin oaths to the different cultures of Faerun, how to roleplay, and a million other things. He's on another planet from grace, in another galaxy.
>>562098991his ex was a literal goddess so it's expectedthe biggest humiliation ritual is playing Durge and finding out you had a cute little "kicking my feet and giggling while lying on my pink bed and writing in my pretty princess diary" tier crush on Gortash
>>562100503he's not going to like this
>>562099706the namefag's fanclub and the "woman" assholeposter can be added to that, they are all the same guy.
>>562100503cooked mantharafag on GOD
>>562101161They're not.
>>562101161His fanclub is himself and the buttholeposter is based
the only girl in the entire history of this general is the one that posted the vocaroos. The butthole guy is literally the thread schizo and it’s so fucking obvious
>>562100503At least Mintharafag doesn't have an ego. They never call themselves a good poster, let alone "(by far) the best." Isn't that a great irony, being more ego-driven than a namefag on an anonymous website? Baldur's Gate 3. A game which warns about the danger of vanity.
>>562102060lookup "elevenlabs"
>>562100503>t poisoned the thread terminallyno that's the people (like you) seething about him constantly, bringing him up when unnecessary even to the point where you falseflag as him to falsify a consensus
>>562096106>mfw I remember anon's "aut'istik" post>>562096264I like that Aylin loses her Child of the Moonmaiden passive after killing Lorroakan. I mean I don't wish that upon her but if it had to happen anyway it's a cool detail for those who noticed it.
bg3 taught me that____
>>562102142>Mintharafag doesn't have an ego
>"n-no more g-- hurrgh... goodberry pie... too mmff much...">Shaddy: "Come on Tav, finish your goodberry pie">Tav: HURRRK>Shaddy: (casts Command: Eat)>Tav: mmrmfrrgghnm nurrffmm good yes goodberry good>Halsin: "Nature's bounty ;)"
>>562102181I didn't bring him up at all, he or a shitposting troll who pretends to be his fan to stir up shit responded to a post in a different thread entirely so they could bring him up under the guise of defending the honor of a human roach.But whatever, this general is just shitposting and a bunch of morons playing guess that anon, everybody is secretly somebody else and none of them are worth a damn.
reminder that the summer game fest is getting closer and that we'll get more bg3 & divinity news huzzah
>>562102154be real, the schizo is literally the only poster that has ever tried to force the “astarionsister” meme and the only poster that ever tries to bring up some random butthole from some random thread an indeterminate amount of time in the past. it never worked for obvious reasons he’s just seething because his fakeass content and 24/7 unpaid hobby lurking here has seen no returns and won him no allies. even now he’s casting the same old lazy bait. consider that this is an unemployed autistic that literally wants to be recognized for posting a butthole
>>562102298if you want power, you should make a contract with something that isn't a devil
>>562102142>Mintharafag doesn't have an ego.AHAHAHA
>>562102658Except I'm the butthole poster, and the person who brought it up and keeps bringing it up is a different person entirely. There is no unified schizo, it's just 3-4 retards who constantly assume everybody is somebody else and then use that as justification to spam and act stupid. And I'll take some of the blame because I let you trash rope me into replying again. Fuck off.
quit talking about assholestalk about this angel
>>562101207name back on
>>562102142Anyone who has been here a while will remember Serana/Caitfag/Mintharafag for what he truly is: A contrarian wall of text spammer with a hero complex obsessed with taking advantage of broken women. He has no interest in lore outside of regurgitating his own head-canon to justify his creepy views and behavior by veiling it in fake positivity.
>>562103059ok so you’re “the butthole poster.” let me guess, you’re also an(one of many) “astarionsister” too. totally distinct from the thread subhuman, by the way. all totally different(real!) people.
>>562103208no bully
>>562103059everyones saying butthole but I was looking at the pussy more
>>562103059if you're the butthole poster, post butthole
>>562103510Kill yourself holy shit
the npcs getting mad at each other/me in this game is so fucking annoying but also funny >moonrise tower fight >the enemy npcs cast whatever of hadir twice>it fills the whole room >all their friends immediately turn on them and meatgrinder them >1 (one) harper walks into a cloud of daggers and dies>everyone is mad at me now and trying to kill me god damn no fun allowed dont use any aoe spells or u might upset the redditors What if i just kill jahira and her retards now?
>>562103709you should have censored the pussy then
>>562102282That sounds like a bug. Why would she lose the passive in lore?
>>562103964It's not me, it's another shitposter. >>562103918You have to charge in ahead of the group if possible, but they always get themselves killed somehow. The gnomes are the same way.
>>562103448*smooch*
the dark urge to use mol's contract to do nefarious things to her
>>562104054That was my first thought as well but then I talked to her after the deed was done. Then with everybody as usual! I'm not saying this is a definite proof of anything as you can interpret it as "revenge doesn't heal wounds and bring peace" or "chasing what was taken from you will only leads to losing more" but knowing that she loses the passive in a mechanical sense it's an interesting angle either way. I also remember Karlach having a multi-option dialogue about this.
>>562103208What race does Geraldus like the most
>>562104813mol is ugly as sin and a thiefling besidesthere is nothing she could do that would convince me to give her contract back

>>562106220can you come up with something more interesting to reply to?
What's a good class to do a first run on the game with? I was going to try and figure out how to be drizzt but I don't want to lock myself out of too much of the game
>>562106220this is true
>>562106485Bard. It has a lot of unique dialogue and its useful.
>>562104054>>562104958Here. I'm pretty sure I posted this once but it was easier to put it together again than to dig up the archives.>Why would she lose the passive in lore?I missed this one above. The Chosen are basically hand-picked to be the embodiment of their God's virtues and values and Aylin is treated as one even if she lacks the official title. They suppose to represent in the Material Plane whatever their deity stands for and further their interests. Don't forget that one of Selune's domains is Life, so after executing Lorroakan (a wizard whose ambitions might've matched Ketheric's but he himself barely inflicted any direct suffering on her) by shattering his spine on her knee her mother might've felt she went overboard and needs a wake-up call to sort herself out.
>>562106674Also a bard can be drizzt, just dual wield scimitars as a swords bard.
>>562102142haircut like that should be illegal
>>562104054>>562105258>>562106987Selune is a Chaotic Good goddess who values compassion and forgivenessSelunite dialogue options are always super reasonableAylin is freaking the fuck out after her imprisonment and relishing in her violence and the killing of her enemies way too much
>>562106987Doesn't she have it again when you summon her in the brain fight?
>wakeup callidk how anyone could possibly be so blind. Gaylin is a paladin and it is heavily implied she broke her oath by killing Lorroaken after he was already defeated. She mentions an odd feeling of loss which mirrors the language from a book written by an oathbreaker from act 1. no idea why you would post Karlach dialogue but it does hint at it
>>562106325Can you?
>>562107435no oath would be violated by killing him though
>>562107586this implies the game even follows the lore. they made shit up as they went along and the intention is clear. morally anyone can see the issues with killing a surrendered enemy and paladins are supposed to be arbiters of justice etc.
another thread talking about aylin sighh
>>562107435She's Vengeance, not DevotionDevotion are the pure-hearted noble knights-errantVengeance is all about disregarding your own moral purity to destroy the forces of evil and "No Mercy for the Wicked" is one of the core tenets of the Oath
>>562106325take the wyllpill
>>562108104not to interrupt your headcanon but it doesn't say anywhere what type of paladin, only that she is a paladin. idk if you're confusing characters but minthara is the oath of vengeance
why couldn't I be enough for you Swhy did you have to fall for the druid
ah nvm gaylin is an oath of vengeance. mb
>>562107435Aylin is a Vengeance Paladin who has a very personal reason to take revenge on Lorro. One of the main tenets of the sublcass is "No Mercy for the Wicked." On top of that she retains her "Sword of the Moonmaiden" title afterwards and the only loss seem to be her immortal passive. This is why it feels more personal to me than a "simple" oathbreaking even if it appears similar on the surface. That's not saying your theory is wrong or out of question but we're talking about a literal children of a Goddess who was granted quasi-immortality for a reason.
They really wanted Aylin to “go hard” but there is really just no way to make a lesbian with gorilla body and angel wings cool
question, when does the timer for Nere and the gnomes dying start? is it when you enter the grymforge? or is it when you walk up to the rubble and Nere talks to you?
>>562108867aylin got an alpha mommy bodytype
>>562109058I'm pretty sure you're chill as long as you don't go to the rubble
>>562108867Aylin has the best hip game in the game, she goes hard and chuddies seethe
>>562109058Its like 2 rests I think
>>562109058Rubble iircAs soon as Thrinn or someone in her immediate vicinity talks about Nere being trapped, the timer starts. The people planning to betray Nere don't count.
Nere is not without mercy.
>>562109267her armor is so good and it sucks you have to mod if you want a setShadowheart should be gifted some to replace the Dark Justiciar armor she'd get if she went Shar
>>562109087“Alpha mommy” body type is soft and curvy>>562109267This does not go hard
>>562109543*smooch*
oh add nere to the list of characters that have more fangirls than wyll
>>562110038yesssss
>>562107263I'll sure check it when we get there. Based on my testings I wouldn't expect it. I'd bet you money that if I threw a Giant Elixir on her right before we're heading to the final fight she'd show up with 21/27 STR there. But a removed passive is whole different ballgame.>>562109058When you go near the rubble. Just don't leaving the place or long rest and you will be fine.>>562109639It surprised me how ordinary her obviously one-a-kind armor is in terms of stats and specials. It's just a +1 Plate Armor that takes 1 less Piercing damage. The other parts of the set are even worse. Her boot is technically a Common one!

>>562110383Mizora doesn't have Zariel's Protection in the final fight so she can die there for real afaik (since she is not a full devil).
Haven't played since launch Is there a recommended route through act 1? I played it a lot at launch and in ea but don't really remember. Also what's the QRD on sword bard builds
>>562114779>what's the QRD on sword bard buildsdual hand crossbows
>>562098107You're not gortsis!
the gort urge
>>562114779>Is there a recommended route through act 1?Avoid Paladins of Tyr / Ethel until level 4 / 5.Go Underdark, then Mountain Pass.It's really just a bit of hopping around the map in the Wilderness until you get to level 4 / 5, then it's straight forward.
>>562114779To add to >>562116051, if you want to experience as much of the content as possible then there is an elevator in the Underdark that displays a warning if you try to use it: DO NOT TAKE IT, or if you want to take it don't use it until you've done everything you want to. It's an alternate method to get to Act 2 and you can lose out on Mountain Pass stuff if you take it to go to Act 2 too soon.
>>562116051>>562116564Okay thanks. I heard they fixed some stuff for minthara so I was kinda interested
>>562099913Stop reporting posts you don't like fatty
>>562117221I cast silence
depositing a hot batch of goodberry into Shaddy doesn't require a vocal component
>>562112826>make the required sacrifices so you can summon Mizora in the final fight>every time she gets attacked she suffers 0 damage and disappears for a round because of ZP>tfw she gets the bragging rights with zero contributionThey had to do something with that. Surprisingly it's a Condition instead of a Feature, which tells me the intention behind it was to protect her from any harm as that could've potentially broken Wyll's questline. Then they had to take it away to not destroy the final fight's flow.>>562114779As it has been said you can complete both "Act 1.5" areas (Underdark then the Grymforge / Mountain Pass then the Monastery) for XP and loot before picking one to head to the Act2 from. I can only recommend it. If you're on a good playthrough the Forge Elevator is more advantageous.So wrap everything up in the Wilderness before first entering to the Mountain Pass (it advances the game world and time-sensitive things might fail). After you finished one such region don't advance to Act2 but instead visit the another place. Once Act 1 is fully done pick one and proceed.
>>562117543>Underdark then the Grymforge / Mountain Pass then the MonasteryI do it like this!
Hot take: if you're sure you like the game, then play only one of the "Act 1.5" paths so that 1) you can play the other on the next playthrough, and 2) you don't hit level 12 at the beginning of Act3
>>562117924>game heavily railroads you into going Underdark>but Mountain pass actually has some main story relevancei'm not playing around bad game design.
>>562118328>player choice is bad game designno you made the choice its 100% your fault
>>562118406The issue is that the game largely feeds you bogus information>Halsin tells you that the Underdark is faster in reaching the Shadow cursed lands (it's not)>Halsin tells you that the Underdark is safer because you bypass most of the curse (a lie)>game sets it up as if you have to choose between the two (you don't)>levelwise largely encouraged to do both due to the difficulty spike in the crecheespecially the last part is pretty cruel as the Gith are arguably the most consistent pain in the ass enemies in the entire game
>>562119426>trusting the druid who hasn't even been there since Ketheric dropped the curse when he died to know what's faster or safer
how much goodberry can a druid make in a day?
>>562119426i don't know if its really bogus information since characters aren't omnipotent, halsin is telling you what he thinks he knows
>>562121268that's too nuanced for zoomer brains
>>562117924just download an xp reduction mod and play both
>>562117924>2) you don't hit level 12 at the beginning of Act3I'm all for self-restriction but this is not as bad as people make out to be. Enjoying my chars at their peak for most of the last act felt satisfying. >>562118328Isn't visiting the Monastery a pre-requirement to be able to keep Lae'zel in the party?>>562118328The Zaith'isk was a big motivator for me to go that route during my first run and not just because Lae'zel's adamant pestering. If I had to pick between the two I'd have gone to through the Mountain Pass without a doubt.>as the Gith are arguably the most consistent pain in the ass enemiesRight but if you don't plan to cause ruckus in the Creche any level is fine. As for the very end you can either fast-travel outside the place or if you have the tools (like Invisibility potions) I believe the hidden entrance can also get you outside with minimal trouble.
>>562125006>Isn't visiting the Monastery a pre-requirement to be able to keep Lae'zel in the party?only if you cross the threshold
>>562125006its difficulty autists who complainpeople who think that if you use particular INTENDED GAME MECHANICS then you "didnt beat the game"ignore them
>>562109267she was such a jobber i was disappointed she just yelled some stuff then got knocked down and kidnapped like wow cool thanks for the help or whatever
>>562125006>Isn't visiting the Monastery a pre-requirement to be able to keep Lae'zel in the party?Not sure but you can at least keep around during most of Act 2, no clue whether she ditches you at some point after that.>Right but if you don't plan to cause ruckus in the Creche any level is fine. You are hardcoded into fighting them.Saying that you can just skip them via fast travelling or invis potion hardly feels right on a first playthrough.Like please, if you have to skip past an enemy on a 1st playthrough that you are designed to fight, my first instinct is that something is off, either i'm doing something wrong or i am somehow underleveled.
>>562099913I'm saving this pic of your Tav, and there's nothing you can do about it.
>>562099913I'm not reading all that but I agree with the other guy nice gigastacy tav
>>562127335couldnt you dip in do the zaithisk and then leave to act 2? you are not hardcoded into anythingwhether you can keep laezel while doing that is a different matter
i dunno my DnD lore but if githyanki muhfuckas are traveling through different realities to kick ass and shit then why do they die so ez to the shadow covid and the mind memers
Thoughts on High Elves?
>>562131403cute frog
>>562130474if they were good at kicking ass, Toril would have been conquered and they wouldn't be living on rocks up in space orbiting itsince it hasn't, that should answer your question
is this a dead thread?
>>562125219>>562127335Are you saying if I only go through the Underdark and the Forge Lae'zel acts like as if I didn't ignore her demand to visit the Creche? Since it's also a major location for her personal quest I just assumed it's a make or break situation for her.>>562127335All I'm saying is that there's a way. If we're talking about the first playthrough my instinct upon seeing that the Creche went hostile was to get out through the shortest way. That's the hidden entrance near the Trader Githyanki and the Invisibility potions were just the next logical step. Either way slaughtering the entire Creche is not a requirement. I'm not sure if you can avoid combat altogether there but I plan to test it during a future playthrough.
>>562132580Only in spirit.
>>562132807>Are you sayingdid i stutter
>>562131825it could just speak to the threat level and strength of the illithid empire honestlyeven in this fractured form killing them is a full time job for the gith even without their queen eating their strongest warriors in a vain attempt to reach godhood
>>562131825okay i like this answer that makes a lot of sense

>>562132580You can bet!>>562133048I'm only looking for confirmation. Have you done what I just outlined above already? Lae'zel in the party, no Mountain Pass whatsoever, successfully continuing in Act 2 or even 3? If so please share the outcome. I'd test it myself but my hard saves are spread apart too much.>>562129452Fwiw talking to the Inquisitor is part of Lae'zel's quest the same way as the Zaith'isk. Now I've seen jumps in quests where triggering a later section allows you to continue then finish it but I doubt that's the situation here. The point of the Inquisitor here is to railroad you into the Vlakith encounter then let the Dream Visitor explain the Prisms' origin and how the foundation of her reign is forged.
>>562142074awooga
:(
>>562145880I like this shot because you can almost see the pain that this realization brought in her eyes.
>>562146574yea :(
>>562146737One time I read that we see cat faces' so expressive because they have similar proportions as human babies. Lae'zel might have something like that going on. Her facial proportions are obviously closer to an adult human and her philtrum is unusually long, but her eyes are beautiful and her make-up with those spots enhance them tenfold.
>>562147759she just needs a hug and a headpat
>hatched from eggs>aberrationsg*th arent people
>went through all the hassle of stealth destroying all the eyes so that I could be scanned and told I did nothing wrong>accidentally picked the snarky response so everyone at the checkpoint aggro'd and attackedAll that work destroying Scrying Eyes from stealth, all for naught.
>>562148139she needs a swift execution
>>562150409Stealth killing the eyes lets you pass the watcher?
>>562151370If you are never detected killing every single eye in the game, yes. I've done it in a prior playthrough. They don't even know that you're the one who caused the slaughter at Moonrise.
Is honor mode fun or just tedious with a lot of resetting and autistic route planning?
>>562155802>honor>reset
>>562150827
>>562155802Solo Honour or any other type of challenge is autistic planning. An Honour run by itself is just a regular run but bosses are slightly more difficult and you can't save scum. That's it.It's the only difficulty type which lets you experience the actual DnD mechanic of Legendary Actions and Legendary Resistances, which is to me the only real reason to try clearing Honour mode at least once. That and the shiny dice (but you can just mod shinier dice into the game anyway, but these shiny dice come with a cheevo which you can't mod in).
>>562155967Reset the entire run I mean
Speaking of Honour mode, I just remembered Ansur is immune to the wet condition for some insane reason, and I'm pretty sure he's immune to lightning because he was a bronze dragon. AND he has the same magical plate type BS which makes Magic Missile useless. I think I will save that fight for last.
>>562155802>>562157683If you don't care about the golden dice and the achievement you can replicate Honor mode without the "reset". Just a heads-up. All you have to do is pick Custom Mode at the Difficulty selection screen and replicate Honor's then turn the Single Save setting off.
>>562158589>for some insane reason,We all know the reason
>>562159241Is the reason a lore reason because I am drawing a blank.
>>562159403Because people cheese shit with wet+cold/lightning damage
>>562159804Yeah I figured it was that, I was just hoping it would have an in-universe reason because "it's too OP" is a weak justification when they were the ones who put the interaction in. It's the same kind of complaint I have with bosses that are immune to status conditions in games where bosses are the only monsters worth using status conditions on.
ALERT ALERTSwen aka Mr BG3 aka Lord Larian himself just tweeted
Any recommendations for a fun character build to try? Gonna be playing a fresh co-op game and I’m trying to figure out what I’ll play. I’ve played Warlock and Sorcerer to death at this point, and I don’t need to be the party face for this group either. Any suggestions based on subclasses or builds you’ve all played and found fun?
>>562162436Throwing Barbarian. Berserker gets Enraged Throw (free Throw Action for the cost of a Bonus Action) while Raging. A 4 level Thief dip grants you a 2nd Bonus Action and various extra goodies. Tavern Brawler ties everything together wonderfully and you don't need Strength potions to be mighty. Hell, even Rage is more of an extra here than a requirement! Schedule the dip after your Barb gets an Extra Attack at level 5. It's an effective build that plays like few others while remaining pretty simple. The game also supports it with a few unique items nobody else in the party will compete for. The only downside is the occasional "Path Interrupted" situations (the throws have a fixed arch and sometimes maneuvering is needed) and maybe that you'll be using Returning Pike (the only automatically returning weapon for an Act and half - available at the Goblin Camp trader) for quite a while. Before that Javelins you collect and re-use after each fight, after that Nyrulna or Dwarven Thrower.
>>562162353did any antagonist in bg3 have a character arc/path? maybe emperor if you count his romance I guess?
The only thing I hate about the difficulty selection is as far as I can tell it just adds + modifiers to every enemy? Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like a retarded way to make it more difficult, then again I can't think of anything better so I'm retarded too.
>>562162436divination wizard halfling with the lucky feat
>>562164220It's tabletop, this is unironically how they add difficulty to combat. Turn based combat games were the OG "tweak the numbers" games.
>>562163964>free Throw Action for the cost of a Bonus ActionI mean extra Throw Action. Another Attack Roll if you will. In case it wasn't evident the point of the build is to throw a weapon with returning property on an enemy, which then automatically comes back to you and gets re-equipped. Needless to say you can also throw foes into chasms and whatnot as well, that's one of the reasons why high STR is so crucial for this build.
>>562163964It's just a 3 dip if you don't mind missing the feat.
>>562164367Yeah I get it, it makes sense overall I just wish it was more like ... idk tailored to each enemy type or something. Hmm
>>562164967That'd take a lot more dev time. If they had sacrificed visual fidelity maybe we could have gotten that but they had to make a 3d game.
>>562164780That Feat gives us much more than level 9 Barb's Brutal Critical. TB is a jackpot for this build so that is a must at level 4. Interestingly Alert can be skipped here as Barbs get it's mini version called Feral Instinct (+3 Iniative and can't be Suprised) at level 7, so the other two Feats can be spent on well-needed AS (STR) improvements.>>562164220The alternative method is better enemy AI. In other words enemies act smarter on higher difficulties, and not just in terms of efficiency but they might also have a bigger bag of tricks. The problem is that AI is pretty hard to program to begin with and it makes balancing even more tricky. That's why the primitive multiplier method is still the standard.
this is why dnd has legendary actions
>>562164967That's kind of what the legendary actions are. They're usually thematic to the enemy, such as the bulete having hardened scales or Bernard doing robot things, or the spider shooting web. Honor mode really is the most fun way to play the game in my opinion. bg3 does difficulty correctly, by giving bosses an actually unique mechanic that is meaningfully different from medium difficulty. wotr is the game where the difficulty levels are just numbers inflation and blanket immunities, which is so boring after coming from bg3.
Zzzzz
NYOOOO HOW COULD I LET THIS HABBEN I GOTTA POST ON PLEDDIT ABOUT DIS Shouldn't have made a deal with a dumb bitch devil tsk tsk

I forgot how to do spoilers so if you haven't finshed act 2 or 3(?) then don't read this!!!!--------->get to part about aylin and isobel>think its kinda cringe and retarded >feels forced>look around the internet for other's opinions >anyone who thinks its cringe just hates gay people What did I expect, I guess. I think it mostly just felt a little shoehorned but not anything particularly crazy. It kind of reminded me of the part where you save the one gnome from the mine collapse thing and then the other guy is like oh im so greatful you're alive of course afterall *tips fedora* since I'm your husband Like i dunno, it just feels retarded you could have brought that up in a more interesting way or just not needed to mention it at all because it really didn't add anything to the situation whatsoever and mostly just seemed again, shoehorned in. Hmm
its literally spoiler and /spoiler both in []like [word]
>>562171704 oh thanks
>>562171504>>562171704you can use control S too
>>562172616what the fuck i never knew this i've been here since like 2007>>562171504I agree with this it kind of pulled me out of the story on and off throughout the end
the wyll ravengard experience
>>562167438Karlach gets mad about Gortash dying and getting away with it, but afterwards if you speak to his corpse you'll find out Bane put him in eternal torment and Karlach has no reaction at all even though this would be the place to show it.
>>562171504>>562172724Aylin and Isobel were fine but gnomes were cringe because I distrust manlets.
>everyone gets mad at zevlor for getting stunlocked when they get ambushed It's weird seeing the dissonance between an in battle mechanic and how people react to it inworld. In a typical game or battle of this genre no one gets mad (ingame) when their ally is mind controlled into attacking them but in this narrative piece cerys and the others are really buttmad at him . Is this just the "DM"s decision for story purposes or am I missing something obvious here
>>562172795She's getting more and more annoying as the story goes on. I would have left her at camp eternally but frog girl tried to betray me in the middle of the night, i was attempting to use passive combat to ko her but she aoe hit karlach and karlach 1 shot her with a crit kek so now shes on my team and the longer it goes on the more I don't like her. At first i was like okay shes just a gung ho redditor or whatever but everything she does is so retarded. after you kill ketheric and you leave she immediately is like GRR IM RLY MAD ABT GORTASH GRRRR I WANNA KILL HIM I TRUSTED HIM HOW COULD HE BETRAY ME like bitch I KNOW u never SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT. We get it ur innocent and its not your fault and its so unjust and blah blah zzzzzzz>>562173067I'm kinda at the same part as you. I guess it's just story beats but I freed him and heard his side of it and it kinda just seemed like he got shafted cool bit of backstory if you click the pod thing before you release him tho (at least i think that was him)
>>562173067He wasn't completely stunned, apparently he begged them to surrender and praised the Absolute or something.
>>562173312>first spoilerkek'd
>>562173341Oh the way his side went was that the absolute mind fucked him and he was paralyzed and was hearing how he was gonna save them all and stuff but he was just standing there letting them die, so I assumed he was controlled basically but still aware somehow. Basically, I don't understand why they're mad when he was incapacitated for lack of a better term, they act like he willingly betrayed them but I guess who knows at this point maybe hes a unreliable narrator
did the devs forget this gorl or is she just the ONLY person who didnt go to moonrise
>>562176102no matter I will protect you muti million dollar company, get behind me!!
do yall think that would break the game?
>>562177679clerics and druids huh
>>562171006Wouldn’t a playable changeling race just have an innate disguise and wildshape spell?>>562173067He wasn’t stunlocked or controlled or anything. The Absolute just got in his head and whispered promises of restoring his place as a paladin and he was weak so he immediately surrendered instead of fighting for his people and got put in a mindflayer pod instead of getting his oath restored.
>you HAVE to free this random guy!>sure, he hates you and your allies and the Emperor for being ghaik and will want you dead, but you just have to free him and trust he won’t try to murder you all!>make the pact with the sketchy ass devil who is openly looking to screw you over and give him whatever he wants!>CARE ABOUT MY INTERPLANAR POLITICS!!!Voss and Lae’zel can fuck off.I’m not freeing the guy.

>>562185605@grok what events that occurred in 2020 could slow the development of a video game studio with offices all over the world?
>>562185536That sucks. Just more content that could have been added later if Larian and Wizards had kept a good working relationship.
>>562186000firing the entire office in charge of helping larian with the lore after bg3 made wotc 80 million dollar in a year is legitimately a psycho move I can't really blame swen these guys do not deserve the extra work
>>562185897>oh shit I have a cough I can't write coherently now>oh shit I have to communicate via email, phone calls, and teams messages from home instead of email, phone calls, and teams messages from a cubicleIt's just the excuse of first resort. The real answer is they didn't measure twice and cut once, they didn't even measure at all, and you can see it all over the game and the story.
>>562186251>they didn't even measure at all, and you can see it all over the game and the story.you say that like it's a bad thing
>>562186335It is. It's why there's no upper city, it's why the game shipped without a real ending, it's why there's ten million plot holes, it's why Wyll is Wyll, it's why you have Halsin cucking but they couldn't write an ending for Karlach, and you could go on forever. It was a game with absolutely zero planning or central control and it's a tenth of what it could have been because of that.
>>562185815It helps that vanilla tieflings have one of the few good female faces.
>>562186570>and it's a tenth of what it could have been because of that.it's already the biggest crpg ever and arguably the biggest wrpg ever I also think that the game would be better with a definitive edition but it's still an enjoyable experience for every unfinished quest/character you got 20 or 30 high quality one
>>562186164That was such a weird move from Hasbro that I still can’t understand. Why fire all the D&D guys who are able to get along with the game studios you’re working with? I can’t imagine those guys had a crazy enough salary that cutting them saved much.

>>562189856>Wishing for a girlfriend>not Wishing for godhoodYou’d never make it as the Lich-Queen of the Githyanki.
speaking of godhood are you really supposed to consider god gale a bad ending?
>>562191167It's not the worst ending for Gale certainly, but other gods hate him and that'll get you into trouble especially if you are newly ascended. Just ask Velsharoon. It's definitely better than getting raped by Mystra and then Raphael forever which is his real worst ending.
>Gale, m'boy. Kill yourself.Why is Elminster like this?
>>562195394>Wizards
>>562195394And the funniest part is that Elminster literally couldn't be bothered doing the job of telling Gale to kill himself that Mystra told him to. He sent a simulacrum to do it while he's actually sitting on his old ass somewhere.>captcha just told me to identify Dagoth UrHuh?
me logging into /bgg/
>>562182073I see. I noticed when you click his pod before you can see his past his whole town(?) got sent ot hell and they got it back and then people hated him cuz they thought it was devil magic or some shit so he lost all his faith >>562185536they've had plenty of time since then zzzz>>562185897its 6 years later lets all stop pretending that really happened >>562186570I can definitely tell as I get further into the game that it's falling apart. They keep repeating events as if I never saw them with companions and stuff like that on top of the plot holes
>>562195394>>562197420Gale: dude this guys like the most powerful wizard ever dude hes like insanely powerful and strong and cool Me: ok why doesnt he kill the absolute or like get rid of the shadows or somethingGale: xddd wizards or watever xddd theyre so silly amirite upboat my post
fucking cringe
hide and seek with lae'zel
>>562199076laezel is never so attractive as when she's obscured from sight and downwind
>>562198282Elminster doesn't like getting personally involved in little problems for a number of reasons.If a party of four level twelves can handle the brain, it's really not an Elminster level issue. It's not like Larloch's spooky ass is there.
>>562199389
>>562200474Yeah that's fair but at the same time doesn't that mean it would be overwhelmingly simple for him to handle and instead of risking the fate of many worlds he could just shut it down rq and get back to feasting? I dunno obviously it's story shit and blah blah we wouldnt have a game story to play thru etc i just think about it sometimes
Another same argument, Why are you guys autistic?
>>562200767we got nothing to talk about until larian reveals something at the summer game fest, until then, people will start ranting about the emperor or aylin in an hour or two
Larian has been doing a fun April 1st stream of the game; I love how they continue to churn out content related to BG3, it shows they really cared about this and how the game still resonates with player even after a few years.https://youtu.be/qJ8HG9cBZrY>>562200767Well, we've been discussing the same trite arguments over and over for years now, time is a flat circle and all.But sometimes there's still interesting discussion and seeing new player excited is fun
>>562201302>sax Ralph themeWhat wacky things will they show on this stream
>>562200696>Elminster gets involved>Elminster's powerful enemies see a chance to come kick his geriatric dick in and get involved>Elminster's powerful friends get involved>all of a sudden Baldur's Gate is on fire and the party are all disintegrated in the crossfire
>>562201534>What wacky things will they show on this streamI think they're playing with mods, but I'm not sure...
>>562200767>everyone whos ever posted is the same person hmm
>>562201814cyte
>>562202073cat*
>>562201838pretty cool thanks. I guess i agree with his musings but its something that annoys me in every DnD and tabletop game and RPG in general and he has the same argument>muh gods are so powerful and wise and strong they are unimaginably strong >b-but they won't help because something bad might happen >kid chokes to deathI mean i get the argument they probably cause worse shit to happen by interfering but at the same time I will respect them less for it
>>562201302Oh it already aired. I see the lady put in Alfira, Raphael, Isobel, and Aylin her game. NOOO mods aren't allowed!!1
>>562202289skin swaps and breaking the party limit is two very different things
>>562202292she tried this to me and i told her sure and then later i told her to back off im not interested gottem
>>562202398Florrick too NOO SHES BROKE THE GAME!!
>>562202398I wish basedmods would load i wanna see if they have a mol or arabella mod so i can swap them in and take off their clothes
>>562202398there's nothing wrong with breaking the party limit>b-b-but it breaks the balanceso does easy mode shut up
>>562202678How do you think it would be if I did like a 6 person party on Heroic or something like that would it still be fun or would it be too easy I wanted to add another character but I think it would be too easy on tactician
>>562202289>NOO LARIAN STUDIOS ARE CHEATERS!They are bunch of summons kek, I want this mod.
>>562202256D&D has the supreme god who says they can't.Pathfinder has the worse problem where gods getting directly involved in the mortal world risks cracking the planet (again) which is a really, really bad thing because it serves as the prison for the destroyer god whose inevitable freedom kicks off the end times for the current universe.
>>562202256Just like real life god(s) they don't just help anyone
>>562202559>so i can swap them in and take off their clothesMr President...>>562202815honestly if you don't optimize every single character's build I feel like most players wouldn't feel the difference especially if it's only a single extra companion
I think it's perfectly fine be able to have everyone with you because 1.) it doesn't make sense for any of them to just sit around camp instead of being involved and 2.) it's annoying having to swap party members in and out for their quests.
how does BB + war magic work im confuse
>>562203531>it's annoying having to swap party members in and out for their quests1 click to go to camp1 convo to hire/dismissmaybe you should watch a playthrough instead
>>562203531>2.) it's annoying having to swap party members in and out for their quests.>click on the companion you want to fuck off>skip their greeting dialogue>tell them to go back to camp>confirm that you want them to go back to camp>go to camp>go talk to the companion you want in your party>skip his greeting dialogue>join meAAAAAAAAH
>>562203989holy fuck zoomers are BAD at videogames wtf
>>562204202I'm going to ignore your silly post and say that larian should have copied the way bioware lets you choose your companions, it's literally done in 2 clicks
>>562203989It used to be worse before they let you swap in dialogue
>>562204483>Yes?>Yes!>Indeed...
>>562203909>>562203989you also have to go through all their level ups if you haven't been using them in your adventuring party and don't want to take a level one to instantly die in their Act 3 quest

>>562206058you are very stupid to take the extra steps and then blame larian for your retardation
>video of Minthara reacting to downed companions>everyone else getting compassionate responses like "Lae'zel! Hold on, child!" or "Stay with us, Shadowheart. That's an order!" >Gale>The WIZARD has fallen. Typical.God I wish the game had twice as many interactions between just Minthara and Gale. I love this dynamic.
>>562206253stop trying to force your cringe ship
>>562203989Didn't they add a feature so you don't have to do all that? You just go to the companion you want while you have a full party, say join me, and then say "that guy can go wait at camp".
>>562206713yes he is being stupid and then trying to blame the game for his stupidity!
>>562206460name a companion pairing with more chemistry
>>562206460>shipI didn't say I want them to fuck. I don't. I just want more regular interactions where she treats Gale like shit for being a W*zard. I find it funny.
>>562206460You just lack taste.
Is there any reason a good character would keep Astarion around? He is the most unrepentantly shitty and evil person.Even Minthara is more capable of showing genuine care for other people.
>>562207845>genuine care for other people.why are mantahrafags like this?
>>562207845>Even Minthara is more capable of showing genuine care for other people.this is factually wrong
>Larian streamed an intern playing BG3>this shows how much the game still resonates with players even after a few yearsThe swine's logic is flawless, as always. Why not tweet what Swen had for breakfast or what his thought of the day is? It's all "tangentially related." Oh wait, that part is already covered by its parasitic friend (>>562162353). The nice part about this general is that you don't even need to follow Larian's socials. The tweets and low-effort "content" are brought to you by these quality "contributors" unprompted. Talking about the actual game is optional, even reprehensible for these creatures.
>>562206253Never played with minthara, who's got the best interactions besides gale
>>562208185kill yourselfd
>>562208185
>>562208385cute
half orc gale
>>562210465But why?
>>562208248With Minthara? Lae’zel has some fun banter with her.
>>562207845Sure. A good-aligned player character may take pity on Astarion - after all, vampirism is a curse he didn't choose. A good-aligned player character may recognize or even relate to his struggle. They may see it as their responsibility to keep an eye on him and rein in his selfish or evil tendencies. Sympathizing doesn't mean liking or condoning. The same logic applies to Minthara, to a lesser degree.>>562208305This is what we used to tell the subhuman swine before it even made its joke about Astarion being sexually abused.

>>562212454>but what about the namefag?Like clockwork. When Mintharafag points out BG3's player retention numbers (>>562059451) as an indicator that players still care nearly three years later, it's very logical. When the swine tries to correlate Larian's random stream with players still caring, that's pig logic at play. The hundreds of thousands of players that still play the game might be surprised to learn that they still care and (unknowingly) have cared this entire time. When the swine sees a Larian employee using mods and squeals in recognition, that's the pig reacting on instinct. "She uses modslop, just like me!" It's difficult to fathom something this genuinely stupid. Maybe the parasite can give it a run for its money. It likes Swen because "Swen is liked by everyone."

I know it's not optimal like Dragon or Storm Sorcerer, but is Wild Magic Sorcerer interesting to play from an RP perspective? Thought of trying it out but wasn't sure if the "wild magic" parts are actually boring.
>>562224518you get a lot of funny dialogues in act 1 especially with gale & ethel
>>562224518It's a lot of lines about "wowie, I sure can't control my magic" and a few reloads due to casting Speak with Animals at the start of the day making you aggro a camp ally.
>>562224518its more boring than it should be because the actual wild magic table is a d100 but results are grouped so its roughly 50 unique effectsiirc bg3 only uses d20 but every roll is a unique effectit definitely adds spontaneity to the game
>>562224765Okay so do ritual spells in the middle of nowhere at the start of the day.>>562224670>>562224878Eh, alright. Might check it out anyway and see if it adds an interesting twist to encounters. Dialogue reactivity is a nice bonus.
>>562224670>a snooty stacy femcel wildmage sorcerer making fun of gale for being a w*zardcel while she cannot control her own magickino???
I cast Fireball as a 3rd level spell centred on myself.
>>562224765Why would speak with animals count as an aggro magic? (I only use it though potions so i dont know anything else about it ) >>562225213disadvantage because its too dark and you're somehow on low ground. Critical Miss, rolled save for burning damage

>roll with advantage>critical miss does this mean i rolled two 1s?
>>562225710so it seems
>>562225540>disadvantage>Critical Miss>fireball
>>562225540>Why would speak with animals count as an aggro magic?Because you rolled entangling vines with your wild magic and it hit somebody.
>>562225878oh brother. When stuff like this happens I take it on the chin, it is what it is. That's crazy though.
>>562225710This is why I play Halfling. Your chance of a Nat 1 as a Halfling is stupid low, like 1 in 8000 or something.

Wait a sec. If the Fist at Wyrm's Rock gets aggro'd after the Iron Throne does that mean I won't able to visit Rivington unless I deal with the ones at the gate (back from the Lower City) or skip the whole area with Fast Travel?
>>562229835Rivington has its own way point. Same with the checkpoint. You just aren't allowed into Wyrm's Rock specifically without a fight.
>>562229176was Minthara the drow that kept him as a sex slave?
niggas say sorcerer is the strongest class in the game but my paladin felt stronger desu
>>562230783Sorcerer is a battery for Paladin.
>>562230116Right, that's why I brought up Fast Travel. I'm more interested in what constitutes as "the First at Wyrm's Rock". Blaze Elin and her entourage? Very unlikely. The other Blaze (curly redhead Wizard) at the other gate? Probably not but there's two other guards inside who should really qualify and will be triggered by a fight. Not to mention all those Steel Watchers! I prefer to travel back to Rivington on foot and would like to continue to do so, especially that Sharess' Caress has a few merchants I tend to visit as well. That's why I'm asking.
>>562230783felt the opposite. I hate paladin
>jaheira is never put into combat with us >when i do party wide spells it doesnt affect her (like aid) god this shit is retarded im getting rid of her
>>562231518jaheira shouldn't even be in the game, minsc either
>>562231518Are you at the Moonrise Assault as we speak?
>>562231721agreed but problem solved >>562231754Just after that. I wanted to use her but shes buggy as fuck and I would rather not deal with it at all
>>562231174>on footI'm only speaking based off memory so I may be wrong but I believe the guards on the Lower City side are part of the aggro range along with everyone within the fortress itself.As for the Blaze and her entourage at the crossing side's entry point, I really do not know.
minsc can fuck offjaheira improves the quality of the gamebg3 would be worse without her
>>562232228Your pic was precisely what I was afraid of. Unless you did it yourself after recruiting her full-time, in which case Withers can help you out. If not then getting her back through the traditional methods might be tricky as the odds is that she's still technically considered as an ally instead of a companion. That's why Aid didn't work on her. This was the only bug with Jaheira though and it's easy to fix it if you have a hard save before speaking with her post-Ketheric. Just dismissing somebody from your active party THEN talking to Jaheira and recruiting her to the empty party slot alone meant no issues.>>562232642Thank you, every bit of info helps. I have multiple merchants with maxed out Attitude in the region, so I'd rather not lose access to (most of) them. This helps me plan ahead a little and do a wholesale with them before the shit kicks off.
I will forever hold the opinion that the gnolls being able to multi-attack so early into act 1 was bullshit
>>562234146I wouldn't mind it if they could only do it once instead of being able to just spam it without even any drawbacks.
>>562234146>so earlylike most challenges in act 1 its a simple level check. if you're getting rekt it means you have to come back later
>>562234937you dont need to be underleveled to criticize bad game designenemy is level 5 = fine to have multi attack or extra attackenemy is not level 5 = should not have itgnolls essentially get improved extra attack for free
>>562235793you just seem like an overly negative person trying to make up these weird boogeyman things as bad designif you get rekt: come back laterif you don't get rekt: winfunny that you see the same type of "commentary" for souls games, always failing the skill/level check and then crying about bad design
>>562236129im not him i just believe in rules for thee and for meif you need to change the rules for the enemy compared to the player then your game is shit
you heard him swen change the number from 4 to 5 boom instantly good design
>>562233536Blaze Elin won't turn hostile after Iron Throne but the bridge gets raised on the Rivington side.
>>562237378correcti just want my games to follow a unified logicif a player can do something and the enemy uses the same class system an enemy should be able to as well
>>562237632if you want to sooth your autism just install a mod that changes the number
>>562237730no i think i will just rightfully call the game shit insteadill call it out but i dont really care about changing it myself
and you'll be rightfully called a sperg and an autist

>>562238060>suggestionsgames already finished developmentnothing left to do but call it a shit game oh well
>>562233163this
>>562235793IIRC the extra attack is considered an enrage and can therefore be removed with Calm emotions.So it's not too unreasonable, given that Calm Emotions is available at this stage.

Did you know that the Circus has multiple unique clothing pieces? Those boots on bottom left are supposed to be that too. It doesn't help that most of these uniques are hidden in chests and crates but as you can see exceptions exist. >>562237619Ah shit, that eliminates my usual trips back there. I dislike having to rely on Fast Travels but what can you do? I appreciate the heads ups as I still haven't combed over the nearby beach and a raised bridge might make that harder.
>>562246728So much detail even in the minor clutter in this game.
>>562238953thats fine thenwith the right game knowledge you can play around ithowever it sucks that there are very little gnolls throughout the game so that the information is almost completely worthlessact one has what two gnoll groupsand act 2 has one
but you'll end up crying about it too if they put too many gnolls in game!
post laugh out loud moments
>>562253974
I got too good at the game.
>>562095846Are there people not excited for Divinity? Its the only AAA project Im excited for period
>>562256647My toaster can't run it and I don't have any affection for the prior games.
>>562256647For me Divinity will become actual when it gets the BG3 equivalent of Patch 8 and a few hotfixes. You can only have a first impression once. I want to enjoy it at it's full glory and as polished and bug-free as possible. When will that become reality? 2028 Q4? 2029 Q1? I bet it's something like that. If there's still room for excitement then I'll jump on the hype train then.
>>562258868>didn't play BG3 in EAIs that why I think the game is perfectly great as is?
>>562256647The schizo hates any talk of Divinity
>>562256028Why would he do that
>>562259864they burned him at the stake because he was a flaming homosexual WAHEY
>want to enjoy Act 3 again>have to slog my way through Act 1 again
>>562260063are you from bizarro world?
>>562260309He's right though. Low levels are the worst part of any game and BG3 is not exempt from that.
>>562260309Act 3 has it's problems but can you seriously tell me you enjoy the grove, the goblin camp, attacking only once per round, getting one-shot by a random crit, those fucking crossbow cunt githyankis, shadowheart being a bitch, astarion hissssss imma vampire, laezel being a bitch, halsin sitting in your camp eating your food eyeing your women and doing nothing, wanting to skip this part or that part but remembering you may as well do it because you need the XP and want to get that titanstring bow or reverberation gear or adamantine armor or misty step gear jkakjkashjkassda whatever
>>562260365>>562260975I only hear bitching about act 3 here
>>562261023then let me balance that outThe city is enjoyable to walk around in. Raphael, Ansur, Sarevok, and Orin are all fun boss fights. Auntie Ethel is fun to talk to (and take a shit on). Your builds are all completely online and your team is as cohesive as you want it to be.
>>562233536I can always do that, I'm not that far away from it. The thing is though that's exactly what I did. I left someone (karlach) at camp and then went to her and recruited her to come with. I'll try it again though just to be sure but im 100% sure thats exactly how i did it, it was directly after the ketheric fight though, do I need to do it BEFORE the tunnel jump or are you saying after that part on the top of the tower? I did it after the tunnel part to be clear. Side note A thing that made me a little disappointed >convince the gnolls that they should eat their captor lady >i was hoping they would be part of the fight later just running around attacking everyone >they just disappar I guess ill have to headcanon that they got discovered eating all the meat in the kitchen and were killed
>>562259751I'd say so. Late-development BG3 is a technically stable game with functional content and rather polished gameplay. A far cry from perfect and the longer you play and the more experienced you're with the genre the more apparent the cracks are but considering what it has to offer (I'm mostly talking about the production value and the the sheer amount of content here) it's an excellent deal even at full price. EA is free beta (or in worse cases alpha) testing where everything is subject to change and you're plagued with technical issues. It has it's charm but most people who participate is only impatient an maybe prisoner of the moment.
>>562237378Unironically it would make more sense and be perfectly fine. I didnt even have an issue with fighting them but I still think it's retarded
>>562250904speaking of this does that more encounters mod actually work good? I want to try it but im almost certain it will just be retarded nonsense. It seems cool though I would like more fights in this game it feels like there's not that much going on everywhere is so empty idk
>>562253974>pick him up like this >put him in my chest>karlach who never spoke to him once is screeching and crying redditor style about how its so unfair and she shoulda helped him etc etc >kill her and put her in the box too >>562256647I can only imagine it will be shitty but I'll wait and find out. I think its foolish to get excited for games because you can only be disappointed by that in this day and age. If you just commit to waiting until its out to find out if it sucks or not then you can't be disappointed or have your money taken by garbage. I think people paying money to find out if they like a game or not is completely retarded with how many absolute disasters there are these days
>>562256647Normally I'd say no I'm not, because I won't be playing Early Access.In almost every game that runs EA it's a scam of some kind and the game isn't worth the free QC you'll be helping them with. But after BG3 I think Larian might actually be one of the few devs that actually use EA for its intended purpose. So I might try it.
>>562260975>ignore githyankis>kill asterion>kill laezel>make shadowheart fall in love with me >ignore her after>recruit halsin but entirely ignore him >ignore everything except free xp and take the admant armor anyways cuz cool bossfightez game
gale m'boy
>>562262458I'll write you a step-by-step guide on how to recruit Jaheira. I've done my research on the topic and executed the plan below perfectly afterwards.>1.) Ask her to join you before the Moonrise Assault.She's suicidal and her Harpers are bugged (e.g. no Extra Attack), under-equipped (common gear, lack of consumables, etc.) and tactically awful fit (very few Wizards, no Clerics and Paladins) for the fight. Getting her aboard is the only way to protect her.>2.) Do the Main Hall fight with her in your ranks.Jaheira is technically an attached follower of your MC at this point. Like a summon! No full-time companion so you can't resurrect her or give her shit like Aid so keep her safe!>3.) Head down to the Prison (stairway right to the Throne Room).There's an exciting fight there but the main reason we're doing this as Jaheira refuses to accompany you. She automatically de-attaches, says a few word, walks to the Throne Room and turns to an NPC.>4.) After completing the prison go back through the stairs, then head to the rooftop and beat Ketheric.I got back downstairs after it to trade with Talli and Jaheira still stood there like pic rel. Once you're ready talk to her. "I stand ready to reinforce, if you need it.", she says. Invite her to the pack with the 1st line then head to the rooftop.>5.) Walk to the rooftop with Jaheira, talk to her (optional?), then watch her stand besides the freshly opened "tunnel". You can recruit her as a full-value companion for the first time here. I advise against it. If you want to give it a shot dismiss somebody from your ranks and only talk to her afterwards.>6.) Complete the Colony and got back to the Throne Room where everybody should be waiting.This is the grand moment. Send a companion back to camp then recruit Jaheira to the empty spot, then you can immediately teleport back to the camp and test if she works as intended. Needless to say do hard saves every-damn-time before you talk to her!
>Elfsong hired muscle>when you're the muscle no one thinks about your heart :(>ask if she needs some comfort like some pats>haha very funny get insideWhat? I thought about her heart and she snubbed me.
>>562264921Thanks. I did do most of this but I recruited her after when you're all downstairs in the main room (throne room?) after you kill him and stuff. I'll load from before the assault and try it out just to see I would prefer to use her but I was getting annoyed at it. It was really random too like sometimes shes part of the party sometimes shes not there was no predictablity to it except after cutscenes shes almost always "not in the party" even though she is Anyways much appreciated.
>>562262458>>convince the gnolls that they should eat their captor lady >>i was hoping they would be part of the fight later just running around attacking everyone That's precisely what should happen. I can only recommend going through the kitchen as 1) it's tactically advantageous and 2) the Gnolls auto-join you as allies (green circle) as soon as the battle starts. Very minor spoiler but pic rel is what happens in if you manage to keep them alive!>>they just disapparHaven't you found their bodies? They usually go to the N room of the kitchen, open the door adjacent to the Throne Room then attack the "reinforcements" there to the back. Needless to say they don't stand a change but by that time these enemies usually opened the Throne Room door and engaged in a fight with you, so...>>562265575You're welcome! Just follow what I wrote, save often, double-check if she's really a companion at the end and everything should be fine.The other thing you should really pay attention is to make sure the Throne Room floor is free of every surface (Acid, Fire etc.) that could cause damage. Same goes for ongoing AoEs but they won't be a problem at that point. Because if any NPC steps into them even 1 damage turns them hostile. The applies to the Harpers who participated in the battle, but the most susceptible to this is Isobel after Ketheric is done. Her cutscene starts when you get near Aylin (but you can see her outside before that). So be 100% sure there's no such surface is in a way, as any harm from them is interpreted as you attacking your allies. E.g. if Isobel gets hurt (like by walking through an Acid puddle that give her 1 damage) Jaheira will flat out refuse to join you.
>>562264921
>>562266357>haven't you found their bodiesNo they just straight up full on disappeared, I dunno why. I even went to the kitchen side of the tower just to see if they were there, nope. Funnily enough neither was the 2nd ogre (i think thats what they're called the big one guarding balthazars room) was no where to be found either, I killed the other one cuz she was in the fight with the absolutists, but the other one was nowhere. This time though i will go to the basement I had already killed the warden when freeing the gnomes/tiefs so i didnt think there will be a fight down there
Am I allowed to get to the Bhaal temple waypoint without running into Orin being a bitch? I am speedrunning waypoints before I actually play the game.
>>562267670Update, the answer is yes. I went invisible, stacked dash a few times and then entered turn based mode and flew to the waypoint, unlocked it, flew away into the mummy room, and then warped to a different waypoint. Yenna-Orin was just standing near the wall a little ways away from the hanging body, staring at the doorway she is supposed to go running through if you haven't seen the Orin kidnapping scene as yet.
This is the waypoint I meant, I guess. Sorry for calling it the Bhaal Temple waypoint, I forgot that the temple bridge has an actual waypoint so that may have caused some confusion.
>>562267490Weird. I looked up and the only situation where the Gnolls shouldn't appear if you severed their bonds is if the Harpers don't participate in the assault. Which is obviously not the case for you. Here's a screenshot regardless. It probably won't help but at least you get to see what I was talking about.>2nd ogre (...) guarding balthazars roomIf you made Z'Rell kill her (there's a dialogue option about her presenting her power or stg) her corpse should be near the door to the rooftop. The other ogre who complained about the meat sounds in the wall always part of the forces in the Main Hall with Z'Rell.>I had already killed the warden when freeing the gnomes/tiefs so i didnt think there will be a fight down thereOh, boy. We seem to play this game very similarly, but all I can say is I can't wait to hear your feedback!>>562267035Yes? What am I suppose to see there Anon?
>>562270262>>562270414Update, I talked to my companions and they act as if I saw the kidnapping scene. So much for avoiding Orin.
>>562271536Personally I appreciate your updates as we get to know more about what's possible in the game through them, but why didn't you just let the kidnapping scene play out? The quest is not time sensitive. If you're familiar who gets taken and in what order you can even manipulate it! Then you just put the issue on the sideline until you're ready to deal with it.
>>562270730>warden partI was trying to break them out silently but when the cutscene triggered about if i'm leaving on the boat with the gnomes, the turn based mode came off and they just walked up to us and caught us in the act, so I just killed the 2 guards and warden who are the ones who caught us. I wish it would just freeze people in place during cutscenes i dont want to skip dialogue just to be sure i dont get caught or some shit that was frustrating but oh well it is what it is I even tried reloading a few times and spamming through the dialogue but it didnt matter >what am i supposed so see there anon maybe they just saved it for future questions or maybe they're pointing out your redditor spacing, who knows
There are so many dialogue options where approval / disapproval makes sense one way but not the other >do thing >everyone in party disappears>reload >do opposite thing >only one person approvesIf you bitches are gonna have opinions be consistent about it
>>562272108>everyone in the party disappearsI meant disapproves kek im listening to a video while i type
oh brother
I'm not the biggest frog fan. I've said before that the githyanki skin just isn't for me. But damn, if this probably isn't the best romance scene in the game. I feel like maybe only Karlach got perhaps not the same level of quality, but of investment. They gave her a second sex scene, after all. I feel like most of the Act 3 romances are... bland? Whatever they are, they're not like this. The scene is so simple, it was probably mostly easy to design and animate, but it still feels so impactful.
>>562271930Like I said, I was speedrunning the waypoints. I haven't attended the coronation as yet, and so I was hoping to also skip Orin's Lower City interactions (I needed to do the shapeshifter jumpscares for inspiration) so that I could decide how I want to pursue their quest lines in my own time. If I've seen the cutscene, I've also seen Orin's ultimatum which progresses her quest line and may create interactions with Gortash I may not have wanted.tl;dr is just quest/roleplay autismFun fact though, you can skip meeting Yenna completely if you fly/jump into the Circus of the Last Days since her trigger is near the waypoint. I did that and proceeded to the Lower City, I've never seen or met Yenna at all and yet all my companions as well as my quest log acted as though I had already seen the Yenna introductory scene. It makes me wonder what would happen if you had no kidnappable companions and also used the killing children mod to kill Yenna. Would she simply come back as Orin's victim? Would she be alive or dead? Would it break my save? I might look into that next run, I was thinking of having it be a duo anyway.

Jaheira a best.
It's interesting when posts which are clearly on-topic and related to the game and its characters are removed, but posts NOT related to this game and posted explicitly to terrorize are not. Very revealing.
>>562278498it was probably just another halsinpost.
>>562278498quit spamming your cuck fantasies and maybe your posts will get to stay
>>562278498i didnt see what post was deleted and so it was probaby a low quality shitpostbeing on topic doesnt mean your post gets to stay
>>562237378swen is always right
>>562278690>being on topic doesnt mean your post gets to staySays a lot.
>>562278773yes it says that what was deleted was genuinely so godawful that its considered not conducive to discussion to the point it was deletedwhoever made that post should feel badstop acting like an entitled kike being on topic is not the reason for allowing a post on 4chan
I'm going to be honest act 3 was good DESPITE of its main quest & writingAct 2 was good BECAUSE of its main quest & writing
>>562278954What was wrong with Act 3's quests?
>>562278938>being on topic is not the reason for allowing a post on 4chanIt is, or was, back when the site was thriving and not dying. What is the reason for allowing a post on 4chan today? Making a janny feel good about themselves? Making the discord the janny is in hoot and holler like the animals they are? Anything goes, even off-topic spam and blatant trolling, so long as one doesn't offend an unelected and unaccountable apparatchik, the only true crime left.
>>562272674As a noble background baldurian I brought Bex into the city because she's cuter than all these stinky commoners squatting about.
>>562279104oh nothing, I'd say it has the best dungeons and mini boss fights in the game by farthe main quest though? it turns to shit the second gortash & orin die, the emperor, the giths and the brain? fuck bro it's awful, like, terrible

When the Emperor fights you on the brain, he's all "witness perfection" and all, does it mean the brain just controls him or did he actually decide the Grand Design is based through facts and logic?
>>562279725no that's what he actually thinks of himself, he thinks he's the most perfect, sexiest smartest being alive
>>562279131the posting you are advocating would make tangential discussion inappropriate if it passes some arbitrary condition you have decidedim not the one who defines how far tangential is still relevant thats up to the site staff and if here or there is where they draw the line then that is how it isposts that create positive discussion that are at least tangentially related to the thread/board topic are kept so long as you arent talking about something completely different if you want to complain about janny/staff decisions isnt that what the irc is for
>>562279789But I don't want to be a squid...
>>562279908I won't change if it means becoming a babyface smooth-brain squid. Why couldn't I look like him?
>>562279904>isnt that what the irc is forNo, because most of them are (if you can believe it) dumber than the average anon here. They can't read or understand simple English, and it comes off like trying to argue a case to a black DMV worker. The experience is rich on explanatory power for why they seem to have trouble reading and understanding their own rules - they don't "seem", they legitimately can't read - but is very poor on actual real life utility. Try it some time, see for yourself. Ask one to explain an uneven application of the rules, or to simply understand why that's bad, be amazed.
What if the council simply named Orin the Archduchess?

I am going to PLAY arcane trickster
>>562296662why
>>562296767to see if its reputation makes sense
I don’t understand how blackmailing a toymaker into bombing orphans strengthens Gortash’s grip on the city he wants to rule
>>562297043to make people paranoid
>>562296528The whole system is silly because the consequence for disapproval is they leave. Why would someone with a ticking timebomb in their head leave the one person in the whole world keeping them safe? Not saying they should ignore the bad things you do but leaving doesn't seem like the right penalty.
>>562299281>Why would someone with a ticking timebomb in their head leave the one person in the whole world keeping them safe?because leaving was added, and then the story was changed (probably more than once) entirely and it was too late to fix everything else surrounding it, which is the same case as everything else in the game
>>562297043>Bomb goes off among orphans in Rivington.>"Look, see how those refugees are infested with Absolute cultists? They even dare kill the CHILDREN! Vote for me and I will protect you from them!"He literally has a guide on how to populism in his chambers. Everything he does towards the public is to stoke paranoia and play to the fears of the citiziens.
>>562297043It creates terror among the refugees, which is pleasing to Gortash's god. It's also why you can find notes in the gnome slave factory where he says something like "make sure they're miserable about it", it isn't enough to make people do stuff, they have to know they're being made to do something, be miserable about it, want to resist but can't because the Tyrant is just too powerful and so on. So it's partially religious, just like how Orin has to murder. It probably also helps drive refugees to acts of violence and gives further cover for emergency powers and more guards on the streets and so on. Here's your 9/11 now give me the patriot act.
Who are the best companions to bring for fun banter with Minsc?
>>562299281sometimes they should fight you to the death
>>562299740I'd guess Jaheira for the long time trusted buddies banter, Karlach for the fangirl banter, and uhhhhh Astarion? Dunno, Astarion sounds like he might have the best "What the fuck is this guy talking about" responses.
>>562299740>fun banter with Minscnone he sucks
>>562296528Anyone close by will confront and attack you if you murder your companion as durge and fail the DC30 check or pick the other dialogue options (which are various manic laughs and rants).

why are you guys obsessed with ballsacks?
>>562303028At least they need two different types of bhaalist to do that since only reapers go invincible and only death's heads have stunning gaze.

why do all the vanilla female faces look like gremlins

>>562303487bhaalists
>>562305587They don't. The facemods don't really improve, they just add some JRPG faces which is okay if you're into that sort of thing.

I wonder what new, exciting, fresh on-topic post this heralds
without mods I could have never made my femboy tiefling dark urge that got sexually bullied by karlach
>>562306545Oh yeah I forgot the faces for femboys, besides the anime girls those need mods.
I wouldn't care if the female faces looked "plain", they don't need to be barbie dolls, but a lot of them don't even look human.
>>562306360oh S... why couldn't you be satisfied with mewhy do you yearn for the druid
>>562307252we get it
>>562281297she is wise beyond her years
>>562306545Post your femboy tiefling RIGHT NOW
Hmm... female humans have the Brynna and Cyrel faces for white girls plus one face for hag enjoyers. The ethnic faces have two black girl faces and two asian girl faces, in both cases one is a lot worse looking than the other but there should be an option to be uggo. There's also Mayrina, Nine-Fingers and Mizora faces but they're NPC only without mods
>>562307554sure
>>562307746not femboy enough

Frog or Lach for romance? Already did Shart. Alternatively Minthara is an option since I haven't wiped out the goblin camp yet but she doesn't have much content apparently.
>>562309751Hot.
>>562311174frog is universally agreed as the best romance in game while ack is the universally agreed worst
>>562311174are you into prostate massages? If yes, karlach.
>>562311174Frog is the best overall. Karl is cute but just like her entire character it feels unfinished and half assed. She also fingers you up the ass. Minthara is okay but like you said not much content there.
>>562311445stats say otherwise. it goes shart>>>>karl>frog>>>>>minthara
>>562311174karlach
>stats say otherwise
We love frogs here. But in all seriously she's objectively the best romance.
halsin posting stops when they show up, I wonder why
>>562312181halsin/shartfags fear the frog
>>562303487Bhaalists.Sharrans, at the very least have some relatable issues when first entering the cult.Wanting to forget a personal tragedy is an understandable point of view, but Shar usually takes it and then either wants you to commit evil stuff before you get your reward or uses the memory loss to mold your personality into something evil.There's also the philosophical side that arguing that pain is tied to existence and that you cannot untie one from the other has some logic to it.The best you get out of a Bhaalist is arguing whether murdering lots of people or murdering a few in a spectacular fashion pleases Bhaal more.There's also no ambiguity to it, you need to be someone who enjoys murder to join the cult and Bhaal amps that up, no one joined Bhaal because they felt like a specific person needed to be killed and Bhaal happened to be the one that offered the power.
>>562312063yep
>over 10 million people romanced shadowheart>she's the most popular bg3 characters>most cosplay>most fanarts>most memes>she's not the best romance because uhhhhh...I'm a contrarian
ghee I wonder whats going to happen now
>>562311174laezel objectively got the best romance since karlach is an unfinished character but I liked karlach's more
>>562312660don't forget most modded. therefor she cannot be the most popular
>>562311174Astarion is the best romance

>>562311235How grand!
>>562312402Dolor was a basically a basement dwelling incel but he didn't start to behave weirdly in a scary way until recently according to his mother. Probably that was when he joined the cult.

>>562312991fact is she is the most modded character. any time you mod a character you don't like the character you like your idea of the character which is NOT the writer's intention and execution therefor you don't like the character

>>562313564>any time you mod a character you don't like the character
indeed, you dislike the writer's intention for her to dream about halsin therefor you modded her to remove that interactionimagine if you went around crossing out entire passages in harry potter because you don't like a character trait

Toadcels are just like Nametranny. They only can obsessively rant about Shadowheart. How did Shadowprincess win? Are they jealously of her sheer popularity over their ugly chud tier waifus?
the discussion applies to modded characters, which happened to be shart my dimwitted friend
>>562314173green means jealously, green as her toad skin
>>562312660It's not really surprising she's the only human and also the least retarded. These LGBT fellas can't figure out that people don't want weird alien beasts and demons to bang they just want human women. White preferably. They forget their weird fetishes are not shared by everyone because they live in circles where it's acceptable and never interact with the general public who would consider them freaks
>>562314439>human>Shadowheart
it's kinda weird that video games is the only artistic medium where changing it wholesale from the writer's intention isn't frowned upon
what is bro >>562314668 yapping about?
like imagine releasing a copy of the fellowship of the ring where you edited out all the parts that humanises boromir and you make him look like a giant asshole just because you don't like himchanging the writer's intention for the character is bad>>562315423inability to follow conversation is a serious mental disability!
femboy tiefling
Love how people glaze Frog's romance when she's also the victim of shitty writing. Regardless of her feelings for you she goes from Vlaakith zealot to Orpheus zealot not really caring about you.
^and this guy didn't play her romance
>>562315683it's almost as if she's a young idiot who was raised in a culture that brainwashes its youth into extreme hero worship and just pivoted from one target of worship into another or somethingthe best ending is for her to stay in Faerun
>>562315683the toadcels be like that
The very first blast of Halsin's seed into Shadowheart while you are asleep or leave them at camp, permanently changes her "scent."This is a druid thing, he essentially completely marks her as his. Even though he allows you to be with her, the scent transformation is always there to remind both of you about his ownership of her.
>>562315579*smooch*
>>562315683Yeah the way she seemed so overzealous about Orpheus and intense about hating Vlaakith right after being overzealous about Vlaakith and intense about hating Orpheus made me think she had just replaced one idol for another.
zealots doubling down on their beliefs is actually good writing tho
>>562313807you were saying?
>>562316397>she had just replaced one idol for another.she did, excellent character development

>>562317652Minthara isn't important to the plot except as one of three early early game bosses
reliable talent is so op holy shit
>>562314439While you're not entirely wrong, i think that Lae'zel and Karlach took their archetypes a bit too far.Karlach is essentially a tomboy, but even a tomboy needs to still be feminine at times to get widespread appeal.She however is hardly ever feminine, she's essentially the good natured giant of the group - with a vagina.Similar story with Lae'zel, she's your alien space princess, but when she talks cleaving opponents with her sword, tasting your sweat and whatnot, i think it simply turns off too many people.Her more feminine side is locked behind multiple layers of Gith autism.Both of them are also STR martials and while it's a bit stereotypical, still feels like a guys domain for obvious reasons.And then there's Shadowheart, who checks almost every box when it comes to stereotypical love interest in a RPG setting.

if this were a divinity game every subclass could crit on round 1 if their initiative is higher than the enemy and rogues would be able to execute enemies and backstabs would scale with the enemy's total HP
>>562320804I mean I can see it for something like a thief, since their entire thing is being stealthy and not getting into fights. But something like Swashbuckler not getting extra attack despite being the melee specialized rogue is bullshit.
>>562314038If only you were capable of obsessively ranting about a character, positively or otherwise. Instead, you would rather bring up their popularity as if it were a testament to quality. It's an easy intellectual shortcut for the shitposter. One that attributes the popularity of Shadowheart to her skin tone and gender. One that attributes the unpopularity of the non-character to his skin tone and gender, rather than the fact that he is dull, inoffensive, spineless. BG3 is surely the CRPG of the decade. It sold twenty million copies, after all.>>562316691It was a rant about thread quality, which was considered off-topic enough to earn me a warning. It's like that song by Alanis Morissette.
