Some early lower priority camp scenes can also be missed if higher priority ones are queued. To advance companion quests or romances, make sure to long rest often.>Q: Can I recruit Minthara without going down the evil path?>A: If you knock her out in Act 1, yes. You do miss out on the sex scene, but otherwise the romance remains the same.>Q: Underdark or Mountain Pass?>A: Either, or both. It's recommended to clear both on higher difficulties for the experience and loot. Both connect to the same Act 2 map.>Q: Is The Dark Urge essentially "Tav+"?>A: Yes. You get additional content, BUT there are points where, if you've chosen to resist the Urge and/or don't complete quests the "right" way, you'll have to pass additional checks to avoid losing companions.>Q: Are there any consequences to consuming tadpoles?>A: No, for the most part. However if you've consumed any tadpoles, there will later be a DC 21 Wisdom check to reject the Astral-Touched Tadpole, which affects your appearance if consumed.>Q: Should I enable Karmic Dice?>A: Karmic Dice will avoid streaks of low rolls, both for you and the enemy. It is recommended to disable it if you're specializing.>Polls:>Romance: https://strawpoll.com/NMnQ5kJXYn6>Race: https://strawpoll.com/kjn18WPzeyQ>Class: https://strawpoll.com/eNg69DKKjnA>Companions: https://strawpoll.com/bVg8o8l3VnYOP pasta: https://rentry.org/bggpastaPrevious thread: >>564077809

Gorion's Ward once said:I am excited for DivinityIdle 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 find 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
>>564313921this is unironically canon, minsc's people hide little boys with magic potential because they're afraid of mystra molesting them
>>564313998Is this the dnd creator's fetish or something?
>>564314358 dnd writers were inspired by greek & northern mythologies and these gods were really rapey
>>564313639The first one was a warning and the second wasn't even a warning, just a deleted post. Cope and seethe, you tranny fag.
this general barely has people yet deleted posts constantly, isn't that something
Thoughts on Shadowheart disapproving if you don't let her have an orgy with Halsin?
I don't care, I like karlach because she's nice to me
The official timeline refutes the grooming speculation - which, by the way, is only believed by a genuinely stupid swine and a parasite that loves to shit on the characters for no other reason than it enjoys dishonesty. Mystra returned to the Forgotten Realms in 1479 DR, thirteen years before the events of BG3. ("This event becomes known as Mystra's Return." Source: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/1479_DR) If we assume Gale to be in his mid thirties, their relationship would have started when he was in his early twenties at the earliest. Even a goddess cannot "groom" a grown man in his twenties, regardless of the immense power imbalance. Words have meanings. Ah, but official sources, what Gale himself has to say on the matter, or even definitions don't matter to the moronic shitposter. Better trust the folktales of a simpleton who talks to his rodent. The subhuman that jokes about Astarion's sexual abuse would love the idea that Mystra is into grooming little boys. There is a pattern.
What did Mystra mean by this?
>>564315990Groomstra gotta be stopped
>>564315784Mystra would never groom you
Why didn't Mystra groom me...teacher grooming student.webm
I'm not gonna bother reading the worldslop from the resident schizo, I'll just post pic related, a letter from the chosen of mystra talking about the first time he met gale the wizard prodigy geez I wonder why would KID GALE be visited by elminster, mystra's chosen
There's nothing wrong with grooming.
>>564317496Sarevok...
>>564316865Elminster was looking after promising wizards in Mystra's stead and trying to resurrect her at that point, in fact without Elminster her return would have failed.
>>564312556sorry for you autist but sample data from real people is just as valid as a fictional dnd partyjust because you dont like it doesnt make it not truekeep seething though but everyone would willingly take people like gale or astarion just look at the MILLIONS of parties roleplayed by real people that do just that in tabletop
...
>>564316865>Gale m'boy do you remember that time I told you to kill yourself? Good times, good times.
>>564317496Mystra...
So why do they get so angry/sad/disappointed at Gale for ascending?
>>564320468God Gale is too busy trying to empower ambitious people and doesn't have time for old friends or his cat.
>>5643204681. He could have nuked most of the coast if he messed things up2. He's too busy being a god to keep up with his mom and his talking cat3. He doesn't learn his lesson and is an even bigger narcissist I can't really call that a bad ending though, elminster & mystra are just salty
Mystra misses Gale's tongue.
Does Mystra ever groom girls?
>>564320760God Gale also makes a romancing Tav/Durge a god, compare that to ascended Astarion who tries to make you his little cockslut for eternity.
Spawn Astarion is a fagAscended Astarion is straight
>>564321428Not really, that's more Selune or Eilistraee. Mystra has female chosen but those are her daughters (conceived by the questionable method of Mystra possessing a woman without her husband's knowledge).
When was the last time Shar had her pussy licked?
>>564321463God Gale is based. You just need to make sure his ego isn't over-inflated. Keep his ambition in check, perhaps by reminding him of what happened the last time someone tried to supplant Mystra (Mystryl?).
>>564321863Probably before breaking up with Selune.
>>564321725>conceived by the questionable method of Mystra possessing a woman Is this rape?Even Zeus fucked some men, baka Mystra
Shaddy... you were supposed to be mine
Shar needs a good dicking and she would drop the whole evil emo phase
>>564321914That's going to be hard since as a god he's literally ambition incarnate.
>>564321863when withers and her used to hook up
I have been wondering this for a while. How the fuck is Shar still a major deity? Don't you need regular worship to retain your rank? You can't tell me Shar worship is one of the major religions of Faerun. Even if she was once some great progenitor god you would think she would be slowly losing rank and power.
>>564322020Mystra also turned Elminster into a woman for a period of several years and they had an ongoing romance then, if that counts.
>>564315032Only three posts were deleted in the previous thread, one of which was probably self-deleted. You and your ilk easily waste twenty-plus posts in every thread crying about Mintharafag with complete impunity, yet one (rightfully) deleted shitpost is enough to make you play the victim. You're right about one thing. There are barely any people left here. No shortage of shitposters to repeat the latest forced meme, though. When everyone from Gale to Shadowheart to Orin to the Dark Urge was "groomed," the word starts to lose its meaning. When words start to lose their meaning, serious and honest discussion becomes nearly impossible. When serious and honest discussion becomes nearly impossible, the parasite and its kind will have won. I wouldn't call them "people."
another day, another email to Larian pleading that they remove S's desire for H
>>564322196Maybe when he ascends you to divinity (ha), you could take the domain of humility or something? It would make for a great pairing.
>>564322474We are going to cancel Mystra for grooming young boys
>>564322534Filter evasion
>>564320468The game largely shits on companions for making selfish choices.Hence they also shit on Wyll for breaking the pact and dooming his father.Disregarding that, it's him giving into his lower instinct that led to his downfall before and there is a legit chance that he>fucks over the world similar to Karsus>attempts to upstage Mystra and dies (which you will as Origin Gale if you challenge her)>becomes a deity for rather evil aligned people (people that are ambitious and like to screw the rules to achieve)Taking a step back, imagine your friend that without a *good* reason fucked around with someitnhg powerful and lives / lived on borrowed time, now tinkers with an artifact that previously brought ruin to the entire world.I'd be nervous, too.
>>564320760>bigger narcissistEA Gale.....
>>564322980? They largely congratulate Wyll for having the courage to break the pact. It's the outsiders that condemn him for it. And you can still rescue him even if you break the pact.
>>564322352It's not very clearly explained, but apparently all sorts of folks who have to work in the darkness like miners, even good-aligned, occasionally pray to Shar for protection. But obviously Shar's never been anything but a deity of greater rank while others have moved a lot. Lolth's power level for example changes almost every edition.
>>564323354So it's not just true worship (sustained belief) that empowers gods? Even small prayers count? That would explain the relationship between sailors/boat passengers and Umberlee, I suppose.
love me Gribbosimple as
>>564323571It's also canon that a fanatic gives more power than a casual churchgoer so a small follower base of fanatics can give their god a surprising amount of power.
>>564324323>fanatics constantly being born and also dyingIt's no wonder Lolth's power keeps jumping all over the place. It also explains why Vlaakith keeps the githyanki as fanatical as they are though I think I read somewhere that Ao decreed she will never attain divinity? It's kind of sad, she's eating her people just to remain a very strong lich.
>>564324612Really? As far as I know Vlaakith doesn't live in the Realmsphere (the FR setting where Ao is overgod) so he has no authority over her ascension unless she does it on Toril. There was a 3,5e adventure that details her ascension attempts.
>>564324989It's just hearsay honestly, I have no source for it because it's something I read from someone's secondhand account. I was actually hoping that mentioning it would give me some more actionable sources but from your reaction it sounds like this might be the kind of claim I'd have to dig into myself to find the source for.
>>564325416I don't remember Ao doing ascension bans for Vlaakith but I do know he has put power limiters for Bane, Myrkul and Bhaal pretty recently (in current edition) since they refused to stop interfering in mortal affairs. They all used to be more powerful than Jergal after he gave most of his domains to them, but in 5e they are weaker.
>>564324058love
Shaddy why couldn't I be enough for you...
>do as I say or I'll kill your father>Lawful Evil Devil that is all about trapping you with contracts btw How come Larian wrote Chaotic Evil Demons but called them Devils? Why didn't they write autistically Lawful Devils like Owlcat did in Pathfinder?
>>564325734>and even after all that, they are still fucking around as of BG3Are they still full gods as of 5e? Or have they dropped to demigods or quasi-divine?
>>564326271Father dying by enemy's hand is written in the contract so she is within her legal rights to threaten Wyll like that.
>>564326491Descent into Avernus had them as quasideities and it was a prequel adventure for BG3. Also Nine-fingers says the Dead Three are "has-been half-gods".
I used to hate him for taking Shaddy away from menow... it feels... differentwhat was rage, still has my heart thumping but now I...I want him to do it, I want to thank him for itkneeling in front of Shaddy after He's finished with her...the final debasement, while they watch expectantly, him relaxing with his pipe, her legs splayed out before me, damp Grove beginning to drip>y-yes good, goodberry good
ok I'm filtering shaddy too fuck it
>>564326530That literally makes contracts meaningless if you can stake someone else's life without their consent. It's the same as threatening someone to do what you want or else you kill someone they care about.
>>564326948That part of the contract might be meaningless since you can stop Mizora's attempts to enforce it, but infernal contracts have always allowed things like devils taking your kids as reward which is staking someone else's life.
>>564327262>That part of the contract might be meaningless since you can stop Mizora's attempts to enforce itIt was in the contract though and you thwarted it once, she could just try to kill him again.>taking your kids as rewardChildren are the property of their parents so that makes sense.
>>564326916lol, I just did this too lmaoI've been annoyed by it for a while but I didn't bother filtering until now
I 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.
>>564326948It usually has to be someone close to you, no? You can't just wager the life of Joe Schlomo off the street. It could be argued that you have the capacity to speak on their behalf in those cases, especially if it's a child that hasn't even been born yet. Parents are the legal wards of their children, the devils take that to the extreme and say that your duty of care over their life gives you the power and authority to make decisions on their behalf, including but not limited to giving your child away to them. It happened with Gortash too in the very same game.
>>564327775She can be thwarted again though, she can't just snap her fingers and have the duke drop dead like she could with Wyll whose soul rights she actually had
It's no exaggeration or hyperbole that all evils of the world are endorsed and committed by gnomes. A gnome feels no empathy nor remorse, No common humanity that separates us from simple beast. The only "love" a gnome can feel, if you dare describe it so, is that for money. A gnome will sooner sell out his own mother for a pouch of silvers than do a single good deed in his entire gaping hole of an existence.
>>564328052Yes, I agree with children because they're the property of their parents. But a child cannot stake the life of their parent.>>564328258But that's part of my point. She's just threatening with outside violence rather than actually abiding by a contract. She's acting like a demon rather than a LAWFUL autist obsessed with contract law.
>>564328457She's threatening violence because of a death threat written in the contract, rules lawyering but not demon stuff. A demon wouldn't even bother to have a contract, just ordering you to do whatever comes to mind or else.
>>564328457It sounds like Wyll just didn't read the fine print. It's not like he sold his father, he just sold his father's safety. It's no different to mobsters saying if you renege on their deal they will put a hit out on your family members.
Okay hear me out. Spellmight gloves Spell Sniper EB build with max investment in crit threshold reduction. Yay or nay?>crit stacking is a memeYeah and I love memes.
>>564328679>I'm allowed to try to murder your father if you fail my contract As I wrote earlier, this makes contracts meaningless. She could have written that if you fail or succeed and then I get to try and kill all my enemies. Makes the whole point of contracts retarded and without any reason to exist.>>564328776>It's no different to mobsters saying if you renege on their deal they will put a hit out on your family members.Exactly, this is just threatening with violence. Not contract lawyering. If that is acceptable/allowed then contract are moot and just meaningless fluff/flavour.
>>564329119Done that, dual wielded Rhapsody and Bloodthirst (since scarlet remittance is the best way to migitate the spellmight penalty).
>>564329448How fun was it?
>>564329219Contracts can include threats like that and still be contracts. Mob deals can be lawful evil too.
>if i don't like the terms in the contract i signed it makes it meaninglessreal intellectual hours again i see
>>564329219It's crude but it's part of the cancellation clause so it's not like it's a direct threat of violence. It only comes up if you are trying to void your legally binding contract.
>>564329578>>564329742That makes contracts meaningless fluff. What's the difference between a contract and non-contract if you can threaten a third party with violence if they don't do what you want?The whole point of contracts is that they're extremely Lawful but Evil in nature. Devils are supposed to trick you into consenting and signing a contract that turns against you. Devils are supposed to be high iq lawyers that get off on fooling inferior beings with their superior intellect.Devils should NOT be able to resort to crude and simple low iq threats of violence to get you to do what they want. That breaks the fundamental nature of Devils as the contract just serves as fluff. The interaction/deal with the mortal is identical with or without a contract.
>>564329495Pretty fun, was durge so the cloak in most fights ensured constant advantage for blasting .
>>564330317>you can threaten a third party with violence if they don't do what you want?and when its explicitly stated in clause that that is possible?
>>564330317Being lawful doesn't make you smart and many devils aren't supergeniuses who can't be outlawyered. Mizora and Raphael have actually lower INT than Yurgir.
>>564330452>and when its explicitly stated in clause that that is possible?Wyll's father?>>564330665>Being lawful doesn't make you smartNever claimed this.>many devils aren't supergeniuses who can't be outlawyered.Then what's the fucking point of them being devils? What's the point of a contract if you're not dealing with a high iq lawyer? Just call them demons and be done with it.>Mizora and Raphael have actually lower INT than Yurgir.Gameplay mechanic, doesn't have any meaning outside of that.
>>564331174>Then what's the fucking point of them being devils? What's the point of a contract if you're not dealing with a high iq lawyer? Just call them demons and be done with it.You're dealing with a high IQ devil when you sign a contract with one, you're dealing with a devil as smart as your plumber when you sign a deal with one. A demon wouldn't sign a contract at all, while Mizora can't order Wyll to kill anyone who doesn't fit the criteria in the contract, that's a devil thing.

Nature's bounty ;)
>>564322352It's not as simple as a deity's power being proportional to the number of worshipers or the intensity of worship. Greater deities occupy the highest tier - second only to the overgod Ao - but this is not because they have more worshipers than lesser deities. There are no weekly updated leaderboards that reward those at the top with a "greater deity" title. Shar and Selûne are ancient, primordial goddesses who predate even the civilizations and mortals that would come to worship them. They never needed to spread their influence far and wide as the Dead Three and other mortals-turned-gods did. They can derive power from such worship, but are not dependent on it. Moreover, Shar's portfolio is an intrinsic part of reality - she is the darkness of night, the secrecy that conceals truth, the grief of losing a loved one, the absence of hope. It is difficult for any mortal not to be tempted by what Shar offers at some point in their life, simply because loss and grief are so universal. So the reason she remains a greater deity is twofold - because her domain encompasses the metaphysical, and because every mortal experiences loss and grief.

If you say this outloud then the next time you sleep you'll actually go into the game and for a little bit you can be with Her.I'm not even fucking kidding, I was skeptic too about it at first, but I did it yesterday and it seriously worked. I'm doing it again tonight.Here it is, you're welcome:Shadowheart, Shadowheart, Let us never be apart.Shadowheart, Shadowheart, Now the spell begins to start.(Take a quick inhale from your nose then let it out in a series of audible puffs like "huh huh")When we meet in the secret placeNot just a dream, I can touch your face.(Breathe in audibly from your mouth before saying Her name each time here, and exhale completely while saying Her name):Shadowheart Shadowheart ShadowheartAlso you need to have the game running and be in dialogue with her when you sleep.If you want to post a vocaroo I can give some coaching tips otherwise good luck, it's so crazy that this works

I love my wife Shadowheart who has never so much as thought of another man while we were together. She's the perfect wife in the game Baldur's Gate 3.Reminder that the game is controlled by your choices and so not picking a choice means it never happened.
Shadowheart really is the perfect wife devoted to you and you alone. She even has the best romance epilogue.
I love my wife Shadowheart who was a virgin before she met me and who has only had one sexual partner: me.
What's with all this cuckposting? You're really not doing your life any favors you know

Evil character #2 is dead. I propose a toast: to the Blade of Frontiers!
Okay this is genuinely boring. I'm going to finally do the Lae'zel Origin run except I'll use AEE to change her appearance a bit. Sorry to the Lae'zel fans, but I really don't like the look of green Githyanki skin. I prefer the ones that look like Vlaakith.
Is using ogres for phase matriarch consider cheese?
>>564324058>"ehhh? Pidge!"
>my Origin Lae'zel failed every single roll in the meeting Astarion dialogue but somehow he didn't just gut her there and thenAmazing, a vampire is more considerate than a githyanki or a Sharran (referring to how the two try to kill each other over the artefact).

>>564362137Astarion is a self-serving asshole who will refrain from stabbing you, not out of the kindness of his cold heart, but because you may be of use to him later - as someone to manipulate for his own ends, protect him, or serve as a midnight snack. You call that "considerate." Has the tadpole scrambled all your senses?
>>564374472His considerations don't have to be borne out of a place of sincerity. I stand by what I said.

Oh my god you guysLess than 2 months left Before we get more larian news at the summer game fest and they definitely are cooking something for the game awardsLarian fans can't stop winning
>>564375402At least Lae'zel is honest. She doesn't lie to you. If she wants to say you're a weak cunt, she'll say "You're a weak cunt. Prove me wrong, weak cunt." She is pragmatic and honest. Also, she doesn't feed on other people, isn't some cringe squirming faggot and her goal is greater than herself. Unlike Fagtarion, I have not problem letting Lae'Zel speak for herself during conversations.And she can make pizzas, apparently
Laezel is the kind of person that thinks that cooking is a waste of time and would eat her meat half raw half burnt
Giths probably eat flies like frogs do
>>564375402it is a bit corny how laezel fans act like honesty is the highest of all virtues. mercilessly slaughter some kids? no problem as long as you're honest about it. ted bundy would be a swell guy if he just came out and said how much he enjoys raping little girls

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.

Cuckolds find solace in shadowheart.
shitposters are so tsundere about shadowheart it's crazy
>>564383587That will show him!
>>564385870minthara looks sooooo much better with a darker skin
>>564386001Yep!Sadly my PC is an old potato, so the final result suffers from that
Everyone's drow girl here
Does karlach have any quests in act 3 besides the gortash related shit?
>>564393434Her parents grave, her merchant friend and gortash's parents home. And her date if you are romancing her. Thats it.
>>564393434not really, you can decide whether she turns into a squid or goes back to the hells but that's it she doesn't have much going on story wise
>>564393740>>564393613I'm trying out act 3 with the larger party limit and the mod that removes extra characters from combats but I kinda hate how navigating the city is with that big of a posse. Looking to trim down so I'm likely benching her, wyll, and laezel after wyrms crossing
>>564386291Details start to get lost due to lighting if your skin tone is too dark, I think 7 is the sweet spot for darker skinned drow.
>>564393952Take Karlach to Jaheira's home as well. And bring her along to quest to finf Minsc.Honestly, Karlach has more stuff in the city than Gale, Wyll, Minthara etc. squid quests -> SH, frog, minthycult quests -> jaheira, Minsc, Karlachother are pretty irrelevant.
>>564395157no way, gale can talk to freaking mystra and he got the whole god/wizard paths
Finally told the "emperor" to fuck off. Squid was deeply annoyed I didn't want to be his puppet.
>>564395460I'm not counting personal quest. Gay vampire has the most content if we bring the personal quests.
>>564375402and its revealed to you that you were in fact actually turning and if lae'zel had killed you while you were turning it would be a mercytldr froggy did nothing wrong

>>564396985This is why saving Orpheus is always the right answer.
>>564397331When he fights you on top of the brain he says he wants you to witness perfection so maybe joining the netherbrain was actually based all along but he didn't realize it yet.

>>564396427No one cares that you decide to cheat in your game. It's your experience and your narrative (or lack thereof). Just don't turn it into a gimmick for attention, and it becomes just another post.

>punished lae'zel the most misunderstood character>wants to protecc you>wants to protecc egg
>>564398094cry about it fatass
>>564398094>cheatingI admit that after 20 years of playing CRPG where the party limit is 6, having to play with 4 make the game feel very limiting, and frustrating to me. So I modded it and went for 5 party members to not overdo it
>>564400062why would that be frustrating? the game is balanced for 4 not 5 not 6
>>564400243because it's more fun to customize 6 characters than 4 and you get to hear more banter
Larian staff playing with increased party size mod~ Larian staff... Something Mantharafag or any other autist here will never be~

I saw your teeth, they're sharp as blades.>And what is with this road, so slick with blood?>What happened here? What happened to us all?>Exeunt>END PROLOGUE>ACT I. Ten years prior.>[The rest of the play tells the tale of three elven friends, their paths to power, and how – corrupted, mad, and lonely – they killed each other.] Perhaps the Roads to Darkness with its sharp-toothed and sharran-dark characters is foreshadowing the canon ending of BG3 and the HBO series will be about Ascended Astarion and Dark Justiciar Shart fighting to death over Baldur's Gate.
>>564402448sounds gay as fuck not gonna lie I still hope that the origins will be secondary characters at best
>there's three elf characters in the play>shart>astarion>the default tav is also a stacy high elf barbarianHMMMM
>>564399310Sure. It really upsets me when players CHEAT in their game. There could be CHEATERS lurking in this thread right now. I hate CHEATERS. When I'm in a good mood, I like to go on nexusmods and check which BG3 CHEATS are popular so I can get upset. When that's not enough, I'll go on youtube, twitter, reddit - any popular hub for CHEATERS - and get even more upset when I see "people" (CHEATERS) playing the game differently (CHEATING). The only mods you should install are cosmetic ones - everything else is pretty much CHEATING. And don't get me started on mods that gender-swap or race-swap NPCs - those are CHEATING reality. And there you go, feel free to waste twenty more posts on this nonissue.>>564400062You don't need to justify yourself. If you want to play with a party of ten, go ahead. If you feel like playing with a party of five, that's fine. Again, there's a difference between modding the game to your liking and turning it into a gimmick in a bid for attention. You've already recognized how cumbersome it gets to bring a circus troupe everywhere. The game remains balanced around a party of four, and even one extra party member runs the risk of making gameplay dull without difficulty mods, but you do you.
>>564402448The Shar path doesn't work for me, and it was my first choice because I wanted to do an evil run. She is never threatening. At best she is a smug cunt, but I never found her threatening, nor capable of showing authority.
I'm gonna dip Lae'zel into bard just so I can make her a drow.
we're rich

They latch onto something, like night elves and drow, and reduce it to cuddling chungus elves that are just a little edgy, but still one of the girlies that likes cute pets, stuffies, and pajamas.

>>564421212i don't mod my games lolbut it is very interesting that (correctly) equating character mods touched a nerve
>>564421372ok
>>564421125Yeah I have noticed the frogfag constantly derails conversations to talk about Shart
>replying to a post asking about mods is derailing>>564420158the only reason why you got offended is because its true

He is CALLED Toadcel, get it through your head

much better>>564423315this is so annoying you just can't talk about bg3 or anything really without a schizo crying about some irrelevant shit
>>564423370why do you assume everyone uses that shitty mod here? why do you bring it up out of nowhere all the time? i think that other anon is right. you are obsessed
>>564423325lip bite is so hot
>>564423946why get offended if you don't use the mod? because you do that's why

>>564430993Women like the inquisitor guy though.
>>564430889i was talking about the relic she was not justified at all and if you treat her like she was in the wrong she gets exploded for her troubles she dies without your intervention>>564430993they also wont refute this either
>>564431068What women. And not that I asked. Everything is the same but she is a man.No right?
>would you like x character if it wasn't x character
>>564431398You know its the truth Toadcel. You would kill Male Laezel on sight and hate his aggressiveness.
>>564431398changing the gender changes nothing about the character itselfunless you only like her because shes a woman aka you only like the physical aspects about her
would people have liked bg3 if swen vincke were a woman
>>564431609i like her motherhood with the egg which is inherent to women.
>the archdruid's pet bear is giving me free fishMaybe the guy is not so bad after all. >>564431952People do like BG3 though.
>>564432051>inherent to womenmaybe back in 20th centuryin modern days you dont need to be a woman to do that you failed, try again
>>564432191why didn't they invite dave?

did pea and mantharafag finally kill themselves
>>564432528 >>564431398these two posts are admissions that you dont actually like the character you just like that their physical characteristics appeal to yousee >>564432771even this failure at a defense >>564432051 falls apart under the slightest bit of scrutiny
and no you're just taking absurdist and notreal positions so there's no point in addressing any nonsense you post>>564424220hey look>>564432927you gonna call him a broken record?
>>564432927No unfortunately
>froggers really cant defend that they only like laezel for her tits at all>admit that if she were a man with NOTHING CHANGED they wouldnt like her at allwow they really do only like that they can have sex with a bipedal animalare they actually furries in disguise?
>>564432728I'm pretty sure she's Ariel in Total War Warhammer too.
like i said absurdist loaded questions
>>564433425No its called being your average waifufag. They would hate Male Laezel for being a proper evil githyanki.
>no defensecalling "if she were a man would you like her" a loaded or absurd question is a direct admission that you only like her for what she can provide for you as a womanyou dont need to reply your hypocrisy is on display for the entire thread to see
>>564433714The character is literally the same but shes male now. Do you still like Laezel?>He still wants to kill the grove.>He is still dead loyal to Vlaaktih and wants to ascend>He can lose faith in Vlaakith and follow Orpheus. >He wants to keep the Gith eggWhy is it so hard to yes? Do you think that would make you gay.
I'm ready to have fish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next few days.
oh but it is because her femaleness is inherent to her character as addressed by her egg motherhood and no men can't give birth >>564434007>sloptry again!
>>564434007no dont you get it you can only appreciate being a protective parent if the parent is a woman
>>564434007Girls would love frog Squall Leonhart
>>564434087>>564434114Men can raise a kid though. Thats one minor trait out of her whole character.
>>564434007he admitted yes right here >>564434087he only likes laezel because shes a womannothing about her character arc or personal growth matterschoosing to take care of the egg doesnt matterthe only thing that matters is that he gets to have frog sex
>>564434257Its very /crpgg/, that place has a obsession with having kids in games. Though the egg isn't your biological child....
>>564434432personally i wish larian didnt cop out on the eggwe get to see ptaris if we do the awful thing and SELL A CHILD but if we keep it you just get vague promises and references that yes the egg hatched and the kid is doing fine just trust me bro
yeah because any trait i list would be handwaved away since you've already proven you only deal in unrealities
you had a chance to discuss this and you threw it away youve already shown that you only care about frog sex now go away
>>564434432That doesn't really matter to gamers as we saw from Mass Effect, Asari kids are biologically from a single parent even when both parents are Asari.
>>564434587I think you are cuck for raising another man's kid tbqh, oh and you aren't biologically compatible with Laezel for more kids.
>>564434553Ptaris is possible only because of horrible experiments which no gith would do to the egg so zero reason to see him if you keep the egg.
>>564434729You haven't been in /crpgg/ then, they demand every female RO have their kids or its a shit romance.
>playing Lae'zel Origin with 5.5e mod>all kinds of interesting subclass options for most classes>Fighter's most interesting subclass at level 3 is riding a horse (haven't tried it yet)Fighter really is the most boring/generic class in DnD. Rune Knight is supposed to have all kinds of interesting rune effects but at level 3 I only saw 2/4 runes and the only options were the invoked options not the passive rune benefits. I feel robbed. Should I just swap Lae'zel out of Fighter?
>>564434553Didn't they age him faster? I don't know where he is in the epilogue
>>564434761>another man's kid1. It's not Lae'zel's kid either2. It's not any man's kid, the gith egglayer caste shit is asexual
see what i mean? dealing in unrealities, play fast and loose with definitions>>564435026sometimes "hit things things die" is sufficiently interesting to some
>>564435160Okay Laezel is the cuck if that makes him feel any better >>564435186
>>564435078>>564434872they did age him up but yeah its the epilogue i meanwe get fuckall regarding the egg after you hand it to laezel just some throwaway lines that they dont need to spend dev time on no baby gith models (we know they exist from the creche) to show him just some lines of text with accompanying voice
>>564435265does the game explicitly state the amount of time passed between end of game and the party?

bg1-2 remake soon
>>564436309but is it gonna be turn based
>>564435832Probably, though left to the imagination. Sarevok says that he wanted durge and Orin to make babies too, with fem durge that presumably means Orin can resolve the issues with shapeshifting.

>>564439394Mine looks better
Take back your tranny namefag, he's shitting up /crpgg/
>>564441762nuhuh you can keep him
>>564434007I can answer that. I would still appreciate male Lae'zel as a character, though obviously any attraction would be lost. In no small part because that would mean losing Wilde's performance, which, I would argue, elevates the character. (Consider the similar thought experiment of replacing Newbon and English with gender-swapped AI voices, and ask yourself whether you would still like their characters.) I don't think this indicates shallowness on my part. People have their preferences. You are correct to note that Lae'zel's personality and character arc are not strictly gender-based. Unlike the drow, the githyanki seem to treat males and females equally, so there shouldn't be anything essential lost in gender-swapping a githyanki. This is not to say that gender becomes interchangeable, because we still judge characters according to defined gendered expectations - an aggressive and dominant female warrior is not the same when gender-swapped. (You would also need to change the "Lower. Taste." line.) This is because gender has a lot to do with power and dominance. A man fucks. A woman is fucked, with or without consent. The term "fuck" has strong (historical) connotations of penetration and male dominance. You cannot swap X's gender while retaining the meaning of "X fucks." The egg example is not misguided - Lae'zel is infertile, and this informs more than her enjoyment of risk-free casual sex. If the player character who romances Lae'zel cares about starting a family, this infertility might eventually become a relevant factor. The consideration obviously doesn't exist if we swap genders, interspecies compatibility put aside. Characters do not exist in a vacuum - they only become meaningful in their relations with others, who often come from societies and cultures with gendered expectations. Characters are not just bundles of tropes and traits filtered (or not) through the lens of gender. I like all of Lae'zel, including her feminine voice and femininity.
>>564442219do not respond to me pigschizo
>>564442219>(Consider the similar thought experiment of replacing Newbon and English with gender-swapped AI voices, and ask yourself whether you would still like their characters.)yes, fairly easy question
Why Shaddy...
>>564440701horrific
>>564442727Right. Should we continue crying about Mintharafag instead? It seems that even when they're not here, their name comes up a lot for no real reason (>>564400641). It seems that even when they're not here, we must bring up their Astarion-turned-Serana - a transgression worse than mere gender-swapping of a companion, I'm sure. This general seems more interested in talking about the namefag than the game. Not obsessed, by the way.>>564444665Then there is no harm in gender-swapping any companion according to your preferences. I'm sure that female Astarion magically stops being self-centered, manipulative, hypocritical, blame-dodging, callous, evil. I'm sure I'd still find a way to dislike her, but that's just me. I have my biases.
>>564445506Divinity Ascended Astarion bones you with the last remaining Astarionsister. Extra companion mods included.
>>564445506>I'm sure I'd still find a way to dislike her,no you wouldn't. you like minthara and she's just as bad as astarion

>>564446692cute gnome
short race fuckers are pedophiles
>>564447075
>>564445787Which gender is this Astarion, exactly? Gender is interchangeable according to enlightened geniuses like you, so you have to be specific for the few who still do care about it. Even the mention of verbs like "fuck" or "bone" is not enough, as I explained above. When even girls are considered "bros" and "dudes," when fucking (boning) becomes a gender-neutral activity devoid of male connotation, when Astarion and Shadowheart are just as delightful as a woman and man, then your canned replies start to take on another meaning. I'm still not interested in female Astarion, though. She is self-centered, manipulative, hypocritical, blame-dodging, callous, evil. And that's before you "ascend" her.
Nobody cares
>>564448283Dalyria is a sweet, innocent woman though.

Not kids.At most Eilistraee tasked them with helping nearby people in need back when they lived in their original small village, but that's hardly grooming at all.You always these woke retards trying to reframe normal fantasy shit in the worst way possible when it comes to D&D.
>>564448516That child came at her with a chainsaw, she had a right to defend herself.

>>564435186Hit thing good is not really enough for me when I found out 5.5e added extra subclasses. What oath do you think Lae'zel would swear pre-Orpheus if I swapped her to Paladin? Crown?
>>564450969vengeance against vlaakith for her lies
>>564451173I'm not even level 5. She's still a loyal Vlaakith stan.
>>564451451i guess crown then but it always makes more sense to me to go from fighter to paladin after that midnight zoom call
>>564450896I puked a little bit.
>>564452537
>>564449287And what about spawn Astarion? You know, the person he is for most of the story?
>>564452518True, I guess I can hold off on the switch until that time. Until then I'll just keep on Action Surging.
>>564453210I prefer spawn, I just wanna trigger the schizo
>>564453812I love all the bathtub pics
I feel like Lae'zel would keep only the most competent fighters with her. Which origins qualify? Personally I feel like Gale (former archwizard), Wyll (muh Blade of Frontiers) and Karlach (survived 10(?) years of the Blood War) are the most qualified.
>>564454765Withers 1Withers 2Withers 3
why are all astarionfags so mentally ill
>>564455072Those aren't Origins.
>>564454765ack is the only one she openly expresses admiration of her abilitiesshe comments on the weave and therefor w*zards to be unreliablewyll never lives long enough for her to comment on himprobably minthara, ack and a hireling or something
>>564455389You don't need origins. Just play Durge and run 3 Withers companions.
>>564455682I have played Durge too often so now I want to try Origins. I have only done Shadowheart and I think Gale so far.
>>564456050Play the origins with three withers companions.
>>564455586Right now I think I'm going to make Lae'zel fuck Shart as a sort of angry hate-sex thing so I want her in the party. I'm definitely picking Karlach now that rage lasts 10 minutes in 5.5e and I got a fart cloud Barbarian option (Shadow Gnawer). To be 100% honest I'd really like a W*zard as my 4th slot so it's two martials 2 casters. So between Gale or Wyll who do you think would annoy her less/who seems more capable?
>>564456701between those two, Gale by far. their party banter is very respectful and often about killing, dying with honor in battle, and the astral plane.Wyll simps and compliments her awkwardly, and Laezel tells him to fuck off.
>>564456701gross
>>564457327I thought so too at first but on demand dark cloud sounds stupid fun.>>564457072Gale it is then, thank you!
>Shadow Gnawer fog only lasts until the end of your turn, essentially making it last less than 1 turnI am reconsidering my choice of Barbarian subclass now.
>>564459298>I'm not actually riding a horseI may also need to reconsider my choice of Fighter subclass.
>>564453812>>564454393nnngh
>>564461657astarion penis!
>>564435953Honestly the biggest difference is that jumping has been nerfed and costs a ton of my movement, but no longer costs a bonus action. I'm still only level 3 but your martials will probably all need the Mobile or Athlete feats to function. OH, another big difference is that backgrounds give you feats. Lae'zel, thanks to being a soldier, gets Savage Attacker from level 1 (which means you can't be a mage without ignoring her free martial based feat). Weapons and armours also have strength requirements so you can't be a STRlet and wear heavy armour without receiving penalties. Classes also come with weapon masteries, eg. a martial who can take the quarterstaff mastery can knock enemies prone as a part of their basic attack (the enemy has to make a saving throw upon getting hit). Rage also last 10 minutes (100 turns) so you won't run out unless you can't get your 1 hit per turn in. They also received the 5.5e nerfs. As an example, Divine Smite is now just like the other smites, it takes both your actions. You also receive a debuffs that locks you into using only one leveled spell a turn. Healing spells like Healing Word got buffed though, it now feels like an actual worthwhile spell to take.They kept the homebrew that potions cost a bonus action, which I agree with because taking my action to take a swig of a potion is something I have never agreed with.
>[Githyanki] You are guarding a corpse.>Scratch: Go take a long walk off a short pier, ugly bitch.GOD DAMN, this dog has teeth.Shadowheart convinced him to come to our camp while Lae'zel's back was turned.
>>564465212That just seems like it kneecaps martials for daring to be usable in the presence of casters. Wizardwank like it's 3.5e. Good to know the whole idea is shit
>>564471128I like that the game feels fresh again in terms of combat as I get used to the more recent ruleset, but yeah it does seem that way. BG3 really evened the playing field in terms of martials vs casters, and taking on the 5.5e ruleset changed quite a few things: Tavern Brawler is no longer crazy OP, as an example. I don't remember what it does now but I do remember it's not longer the BG3 version. When I get my next level up I'll know for sure. Iirc Spell Sniper also got modified (aka Larian's change was reverted) to be closer to the tabletop version. I'm pretty sure I also saw Eldritch Spear on the Warlock Invocation list, so I bet Warlock is back to being a magic sniper if it stacks with Spell Sniper.
>>564471128I forgot to mention it added 3 classes that weren't in BG3: Artificer, Gunslinger and... illrigger???They also seem to have made changes to some items in the game: various weapons can be found in boxes and crates that weren't common at all beforehand, like generic tridents. The generic Create Water staff also has the Melf staff bonus: a +1 to spell save and spell attack. So you have to look at every single weapon to see if it's worthwhile.SPEAKING OF WEAPONS. They seem to have removed most of Larian's generic weapon actions like Pommel Strike, Flourish, etc. Weapons with unique actions seem to have retained them; I found the super heavy greataxe from the goblin and it says the special action is PER TURN, so the game balance may be changed in ways I do not yet know. In other news, humans ... lost the shield proficiency so Gale is a lot squishier than he is in the base game.
The axe in question.
are there any fucking hair mods that gives you white hair and dark/black eyebrows? i fucking hate that hair color is tied to eyebrows man...
>>564472920yeah
Please Swhy can't I be enough for you, why do you need "him"
found it
I can't even "play the game"I know too much about Her and "H"
>>564473591>try to load my game>can't look Her in the eyewhy does it have to be this way
Please Shaddy, I'll eat the goodberry pie just let me Romance you please
>Fleetfingers description is unchanged despite jumps no longer using a bonus action ????
>>564471128Update, I reached level 4 and they added feats from Xanathar's Guide, Tasha's, PHB (that wasn't included in BG3), Heroes of Faerun, LotR RP, and Crooked Moon.
>very first option I looked at from Crooked Moon feat listOkay, maybe I should stick to the actual WotC campaigns when it comes to feat options.
>this is a feat from Heroes of FaerunIsn't this the book with Karlach and Minsc on the cover? What the FUCK was WotC smoking?
Hit lvl 12 inside the house of Hope. Might finish Shart's quest and focus on finishing the game now. I haven't used Astarion so I don't really care about his quest.All I need to do first is get Gale back from Orin. No idea where to look though.
>Xanathar made half-orcs even more crackedA BG3 which uses supplementary handbooks as DLC... we could have had this unmodded if Larian and WotC worked out their differences.
>a bunch of these feats give you the option to put +1 in a statI forgot that they started pushing this in 5.5e/2024.
>>564475292thats not shart
never finished act 3
>>564476765Me with Skyrim. Never defeated Alduin despite pumping hundreds of hours into the game
>>564476487Sure is
is it true? is gale disliked because he eats your shoes in act 1 and his aura can kill you when he's dead? I think that it's one of the coolest thing about him
>2024 Blade WardI like this.>>564479624Probably the same kind of people who need game journo difficulty for game tutorials. Don't worry about it too much, Gale is literally the most played Origin. It's not the same as being the most popular choice for an MC but he wouldn't be that used as an Origin if he was hated.
the virgin cleric vs the CHAD gruumsh worshiper
>>564482501gruumsh is an orcish diety btw
>>564479624he's not the most hated bg3 character? that's either wyll or halsin
>>564488840maaaaybe? I remember people crying about gale since the early access, some people really HATE him for eating magic items which is crazy because any worthless green item is enough, I wish he actually ate good items, it would have made his disability a bigger deal imo
>>564479624>most hatedI'd be surprised. Apart from the absurdity of his back story that reeks of fanfiction, I find him pleasant to be around
