>FAQ:
>Q: How often should I long rest?
>A: Many companion and romance interactions occur when long resting. Some early lower priority camp scenes can also be missed if higher priority ones are queued. To advance companion quests or romances, make sure to long rest often.
>Q: 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.

Gorion's Ward once said:
I am excited for Divinity
Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is an official Dungeons & Dragons tm game.
Minthara is canonically 150 years old, pansexual and neutral evil
I collect barrels and throw them at every boss including Minthara
Minthara did not watch Viconia leave in her childhood
Minthara is the throat goat
I respect all women but Minthara
If you romance Minthara you are a horrible person
If you romance Astarion you are a great person
I ascended Astarion
I romanced ascended Astarion
I play with lots of mods on
I fucked Halsin and Shadowheart at the same time and loved it
Shadowheart is right not to use her birthname
Shadowheart is not chaotic evil
Shar is neutral evil
Gale was groomed by Mystra
I play sorcerer
I camp cast
You can't find Mayrina's brothers' corpses
Karlach is okay for using soul coins
Wyll is a real character
I sympathized with Ketheric
I play male Tav
I love dragonborns, halflings, gnomes and dwarves

I don't really like the idea of putting companions into tiers, as if ranking food products. That said, it's clear to me that the female companions are much more likable than the male ones. We love our princesses here.

Your kind loves to reduce everything to sexual appeal, but that's simply not true. I like Lae'zel for her no-nonsense mindset and underappreciated humor. I like Shadowheart for her pragmatism and sarcasm. I like Karlach for her upbeat personality and simplicity. I like Minthara for her maturity and unapologetic confidence. I like Jaheira for her wisdom and gentle guidance. These characters are all more pleasing than a moping wizard and a selfish vampire spawn. If it were only about sex appeal, I would simply mod Gale and Astarion to be female, but we've covered that in the previous thread already.

Blueberry drow don't have a skin tone that looks like leather up close. Or maybe they do. It's only on green githyanki close-ups that I get the creepy crawlies. I don't have this issue for the gith I mentioned, or for Vlaakith.

>You (...) have a raging hate boner for Astarion.
Not really. I don't disproportionately dislike him, especially after taking into account what he has done and shown - plenty that is deserving of dislike, if not hate. Trying to bite the player character while they're asleep. Trying to manipulate them for his own ends. Endorsing acts of petty evil. Showing eagerness to damn seven thousand of his kin just for personal gain. Because this is a roleplaying game, one should try to assume the perspective of their character. Within that context, Astarion is objectively not meant to be likable, unless your character derives entertainment from chaos or is someone very naive who just likes sexy vampires. Because you are presumably capable of intelligent thought, you should not assume that someone only dislikes Astarion because he's male. That would be committing the same fallacy as assuming that someone only dislikes the non-character because of his skin tone.

Both could be compelling stories, if only developed a little better, and a little further:

Halsin, despite being praised by every characters, shows serious lack of insight and leadership, and that's kind of a big deal considering he's the Archdruid, especially if considering he was chosen after his former master's death during the war against Ketheric, and also a Shadow Druid cell operating nearby the Grove and succesfully infiltrating the druids' circle.

Wyll grew up a noble boy, every decision taken care of for him and when he escaped that world to become the Blade, part of him never really learned how to deal with anything more than "adventuring"; it could have been interesting to explore this side of him, and how he traded a the figure of a stern and righteous father with a cambion devoted to contracts and legal quibbles.

As they are right now, like I previously said, they're well written if we compare them to other more modern characters from other cRPGs. *aehm ahem Veilguard*

Astarion is popular. This has been known ever since Larian shared kissing stats and is not a matter of debate. The issue with your kind is that you treat characters as if they're sports teams, and a character getting a live-action appearance or tie-in novel must mean they are "winning." We've seen how little WotC cares about game canon or even the fact that Astarion is a vampire. Yet you still cheer and clap whenever he appears in some cash grab. For "fans" that care little about characters beyond their place in the leaderboards, there are always jokes about Astarion being sexually abused.
>Technically, it would be impossible for Godey to have sexually abused Astarion, Godey being in fact a skeleton and lacking any necessary organs.
When this is your idea of "winning," I can see why you would start to repeat the subhuman joke. I do miss the Astarion sisters who actually cared about him beyond his (continued) "winning." Even these are gone now, and we're left with trash like you.

I'm not saying she wouldn't have a niche, every character worth their salt has a niche, I'm just saying she wouldn't be popular. And again, if Lae'zel (who I like) is the least popular and she's often compared to a toad (similar to lizards), then I don't hold high hopes for a lot of people romancing the hypothetical super lizard woman. Anyway, if you like lizard titties so much go ahead, it's not like this topic matters anyway.

So far am thinking about Blood Mage Asstarion and Pyromancer Karlach.

I don't get people who put both Karlach and Halsin in the same tier. What metrics are they using to justify that? Both have big muscular build?

some people really dislike karlach because of the way she talks, I also think that they tried way too hard to make her cute, she's still my second favorite companion though
>>
>>564569650
>are they overselling or can they really do it?

All these promises are pretty normal. While better companions is debatable boast, the other too is the matter of moving from DND limitations to the freedom of Larian's custom setting. DOS2 had better combat than BG3, armor thing was confirmed to be removed, as well as itemization being more BG3 like than DOS2 like.
>>

>they're removing armour
Wonder what will be replacing it.
>>
>>564713504
Tier lists usuallg look like

I think "bodyguard Karlach" was way different when she worked for Gortash. I mean she was tough already but not "kill 25 orthons daily" kind of tough.
