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:>>565276619
i need some divinity news
>>565657286I just wanted to say that I hate midgets.
>>565657578We're definitely getting some gameplay during summer game fest bg3 revealed most of its origins in its first gameplay trailer
To whoever is keeping track, you can add “misrepresented,” “honesty,” and “passive-aggressive” to the list of frequently misused and misunderstood vocabulary
>>565655718I'm going to lump it all together: good, bad, and those that could go either way.Backgrounds now come with feats attached. As an example, Lae'zel's Soldier background allows her to start with Savage Attacker at level 1. Jump now costs part of your movement but no longer costs a bonus action; it's free and incorporated as part of your regular movement. Short races no longer get a movement penalty. There were changes to proficiencies; humans no longer start with shield proficiency, and Paladin no longer comes with Heavy Armour prof. All clerics can get Heavy Armour prof at level 1 if they choose the Protector Divine Order. They added extra classes, subclasses, and feats from the new PHB and/or DnD Beyond (cough Illrigger cough) as well as adapted feats from supplementary material like the Karlach book. Note that the lower down the feats list you go, the more broken they become. They added extra fighting styles and most weapon-based martials also get weapon masteries: special effects you get for using a weapon you've studied deeply in-lore. As an example the quarterstaff mastery allows you to force enemies to succeed a con save or fall prone on all normal attacks. The Greatsword mastery basically gives you Tenacity. Hunter's Mark deals force damage now. Magic Weapon is a straight up castable buff, no concentration. Unlike TT it lasts until long rest, probably because recasting a buff that already lasts 100 turns would be tedious for video game players. Scales up to +3 with a 6th level slot (+1 at Lv2, and +2 at 3-5). Haste doubles your movement speed. Divine Smite now costs a bonus action as well, like the other Smites. When used as a reaction or as part of Extra Attack it only has a bonus action cost, probably to get around the problem I'm about to describe with BB. Booming Blade gets the spell treatment: it consumes your action completely and is incompatible with Extra Attack. Misty Step's range is halved, down to 9m from 18m.I hit the space limit.
>>565657578let them cook
One notable thing I forgot to mention with strength based martials is that it feels like they need the mobile feat to get any distance crossed via jumps. It really feels like tabletop in that aspect as opposed to BG3 base where you could just ignore movement feats. The mobile feat in general just feels so good as it helps you avoid having to waste a turn dashing.
>>565657842>evading filterskill yourself
>>565657286what a cute tav
going to feel good to play through this game after only having beaten a campaign of it on release.I was doing an evil playthrough back then. Now it will be a good playthrough.
>>565657286>Holy shit, i must hurry and defend the city from these armies. Bet it would be cool siege and shit!>Manage to Act 3>Ah, no, city is just fine and it's basically over offscreen, no go deal with those pigeons and catsThis part of the game felt the most jarring during the first playthrough.They created the sense of suspence and raised the stakes immediately by this cutscene and set up expectations, but then you just entered the brightest and most light-hearted part of the game. Circus, delivery quests, some casual detective line - all of that felt extremely "Beginning of the game" coded. Even Gortash and Orin felt less of a semi-final villains than Ketheric.Can't help but feel that initially Baldur's Gate was Act 1 writing wise, but then they rearranged everything before entering production cycle.Like, initially it was envisioned as "Nautiloid crushes nearby BG, we do City Quests, we are getting chased away by Gorthash/Orin, we Fellowship of the Ring through Grove, Creche, Underdark etc to enter dark lands and kill Ketheric.... then the story makes the full circle and we are coming back to BG to deal with Elder Brain Army".Tone wise and story wise BG3 act structure just make little sense to me.
>>565658085To whoever is keeping track, you can note that the parasite has once again started spamming its usual off-topic garbage (>>565657906, >>565658505). Ah, but what counts as off-topic garbage might vary depending on one's definition, so we're back to the starting point. Definitions are such tricky little things.>>565658239>Haste doubles your movement speedI'm confused about this part, because Haste already doubles movement speed in 5E. Throw in a Longstrider bonus, and martials should rarely, if ever, be limited by the distance they can cover in one round - at least not in BG3.>>565658616I question the reliance on any movement feat in general, because feeling forced to take any feat (such as Alert) never feels good.
>>565657578Be patient.
Alert is only truly necessary on honor challenge runs. I say this having completed the game solo honor multiple times and honor with a party of four(no Alert taken) multiple times. Alert is taken for 2 reasons, 1. anxiety over ambushes/low initiative, both of which can be eliminated with experience and the proper builds and 2. desire to exercise more control over the game As for the mobile feat, it’s useless. Longstrider is ok situationally
they're already teasing the summer game fest, does /bgg/ wanna watch it together like the last game awards? that was fun
>>565657578Maybe head over to the Divinity General.
>>565665104
>>565665661yessir
>>565667234wyll is misunderstood
>>565667357I feel like wyll is the only character you can make up fake quotes about and nobody would bat an eye because he's that devoid of personality
>>565667460chatgpt give me 3 wyll quotes that arent actually him but sound like he would have said them
>>565667887>Wyll: If the blade ever has to sheathed, let it be for the Sword Coast.>Wyll: By Balduran's bones, I've got you>Wyll:Wyll: You're worth more respect than every last rogue in this city. I hope you know that.
>>565668346holy shit its indistinguishable from himtechnology has come so far
>Act 2 (mid to late)>Lae'zel still says Vlaakith's will be doneIs it because I picked the noncommittal answer for Voss and said "we'll see"? Or does she retain this line normally?
Take the Wyllpill
Shaddy....
>>565675026>>565675140Best posts itt
>>565673120In combat when you select her?She keeps that line throughout the game i believe.I think Shart also keeps the line>onward in Her nameeven if she rejects Shar.Lines in combat don't seem to get updated i believe, only dialogue lines.
>>565678509Not sure if it was in combat but it was definitely a line when selecting her.>generic lines don't changeThat's disappointing. Surely it wouldn't have taken long to simply remove clashing lines from the pool of available choices.
>>565667234Viconia. Not even L*rian understood the character, to the point they eviscerated her
>>565667234man this party is ass
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 enjoy all the male companionsI play with LOTS of mods onI love editing the character's appearances with modsI 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 using summonsI love dragonborns, halflings, gnomes and dwarves
>>565683745I agree.
>>565667234sounds like /bgg/ >my headcanon? the ingame writing
Orc and lizard companions
>>565685680yes
>>565680785Viconia stuck with Shar voluntarily, those characters either end up like she did in BG3 or like Ketheric.
>>565686004Cute

>>565687738>5 plus a summonOh no....
>>565687738Your tav is cute and your playthrough valid
Wyll Ravengard changed our life.
>>565687738mods that change the companions appearance, more slots and A MIDGETbro
>>565687738I have so many questions.Who are those, is that a modded Shadoweart and..a dude with moustache? Doesn't look like any of the summonable hirelings.Cute spider.Also, how did you get those clothes so early in the game, di you..*gasp*...mod it?
we love mods, we love astarion & wyll, we love exotic fantasy races and we are looking forward to larian's upcoming game after bg3
>>565693297YesNot wyll yuckMe tooYesss
>>565690690
>>565693103I think that's Gale.
>>565693297yes yes yes and yes
Shadowheart
>>565694363Shadowbaby
there's something about gnomes that I find hilarious in bg3 they're so nonchalant about getting genocided & enslaved by literally everybody I love it
>>565694363shadowsexy
>>565695629its hard to be a midget
wheres the fake moaning in the bg3 sex scenes huh larian
>>565696668Im glad they took it out
You know you don't have to constantly reply to yourself about your off topic garbage?
>>565697559cope dilate
>>565697559Who are you talking to?
>>565697559shut up
>the schizo is awakethere goes the comfy hours
>>565696668I'm the kind of person that finds people making out in movies awkward so you best believe that I'm glad that they decided to get rid of the moans, it's way too fucking cringe especially in bg3's terribly animated sex scenes
>>565698778oh my god who cares? you could talk about literally anything we're literally getting a gameplay & companion reveal in a month and THIS is what you wanna talk about?
>>565690690what in the
>>565699302>a gameplay & companion reveal in a monthUh? New BG3 content that i dont know of?
>>565699302>we're literally getting a gameplay & companion reveal in a monthGod I hope so. I've practically been planning my year around it.
>>565697559I did try calling out that behavior for months. When genuine posts are outnumbered by zero-effort samefagging spam (>>565677495, >>565684098, >>565693530, >>565694137), it's no surprise that human posters eventually grow weary and leave. When most human posters have left, the parasite will still shitpost and reply to itself.>>565687738You LOVE pigslop. There, some genuine disgust to balance out all the performative praise you're getting.
>>565700964What did I doooo?
>>565700964you shitting this place up, your lover off-topic in /crpgg/ isn't that just interesting?
>>565700964What you're doing is equally outside of the scope of discussing the game, which is why you've been banned multiple times.>>565701352What a power couple
>>565700964Here I AM samefagging to myself
>>565701352our favorite companions

Why does minthara sound like a man that smoked one too many cig?
>>565714742Because he is a man that smoked too many cigs.
talk about wyll
>>565715365There's nothing to talk about
>>565715365He's our hero and we want to see theo voice someone again
Why does minthara want to bang shadowheart
>>565716575because shadowbaby is hot
>>565715906Isn't he is the only origin character who voiced several npc?
>>565715906Theo sucks as a va
Not even close.
>>565721449the only hp values that matter are 0 and 1did you hit?
>>565722037Yep. Now I'll have to somehow escape these drow assholes.
>>565722323Had to flee combat and rez the rest at camp but their sacrifice was not completely in vain.
Wyll
>>565724008Is this modded?
this man is sin made flesh
>>565725626It's from the More Drow Gear mod. The only armor/weapons mod I could find where the gear is pretty balanced and not stupidly overpowered. I have loot randomizer too so it's just auspicious that it happened to drop a drow item, which is pretty neat.
>>565725945Eating rats is probably a sin yeah
Oh my god I'm so excited you guys like it's actually happening I wanna if we'll get new character archetypes chosens ones were all we got in bg3 and dos2 aside of laezel
Support *clap* the *clap* Tieflings *clap*ANYQUESTIONS?
>>565729002why is it okay for thieflings to steal because they had a rough timethey arent stealing to survivethey are just stealing and acting like real life blacks

>>565729329I have unironically never used Halsin. I finish his Shadow Curse stuff and then leave him in the camp precisely because he has no content compared to the Origins.
>>565729645
>>565730187I never used halsin and minsc and I finished game 7 times they feel so out place in the party
BG3 but with default durge and helia as DLCs...maybe a few extra quests here and there

>>565729002>Any questions?What difference is there between your shitpost and the parasite sharing a random tweet? At least you didn't ask whether they "cooked." You mocked the redditor, which makes you one of us. Do a victory lap in this dead thread.

It is what connects us here, beyond our shared love of slop.>>565741202Abusing tadpole powers would relinquish whatever self-respect you currently have as a player. It would mean that you did not beat the game.
See, that's exactly the kind of post that outs him as a troll.
>>565740703Shadowheart wants Night Orchids.
If there are tadpoles, why can I not loot them? I hate this game's logic on which tadpoles you are or aren't allowed to loot.
Anyone know what mod this face is from?
>>565751340What an extremely trustworthy and believable companion. Thanks for warning me about those filthy newGurs, Astarion.
>>565735769Gnome feet make me beat my meat
>>565732069I just realized Shar's temple is in the Underdark holy moly I'm retarded
>>565758468If they hadn't been dicks, you could have skipped the entire upper half of the sneedcursed lands and jumped straight into the temple from Grymforge.It's right through the door in room Nere's trapped in. But it's marked as a chasm and you die if you jump.
Did Larian always know that this disc is a buggy piece of shit?
anyone else have this 'tick' where at least one playthrough of any game has to be a Self-Insert?
Nettie my beloved
Good morning bg3 and larian nation
>>565737612How? It's not like there is a lot of choices
>>565767151I'm not in Larian Nation, but I gotta say Good Morning.Good Morning
>>565771547the power of mods
>>565771910Mods? We're supposed to hate those because uhh
Have you ever taken "You increase your size class and weight" pill?Ngl, my peepee is hard.
>>565772474AMP/REL has a lot of items like that.My Karls is like 15ft tall.

>>565762870based
>>565771547>>565771910There's not many mods for gnomes.Half the sexy outfits aren't made for them. It's discrimination of the highest order.
I'm gonna fap to the gnome. And you can't stop me!
my second character was this cute gnome girl who i also had made as guardian for my first character
>>565774686Goon for gnomes every dayKill Nere for killing a cute gnome
>gnome hours
Not gonna lie, the more I play my female gnome, the more pissed I get there's not short companion
>>565775867If there's one thing larian should learn from bg3 it's that companions should interact way more with each other, if there are two things should learn from bg3 for divinity it's that an rpg party should represent playable races and classes as much as possible Oh and not rushing the main quest in act 3 for once that would be great too
>>565657352
>>565776113Agreed.Regarding your first point, it's actually the main reason why I use a mod to have 5 party members. It has nothing to do with difficulty. I'm an "old" player used to have 5 companions + my protag in CRPG, and more companions mean more interactions, more banter, more reactions...I just love that, and to me 4 party members is too limiting. It frustrates me
Do the game even call the deep gnomes "svirfneblins" once?
>>565776476I doubt anyone can pronounce that
>Jaheira is a solider and thus comes with Savage Attacker in the 5.5e mod >but I wanted to make her into a Monk, which needs Tavern Brawler to get Savage Attacker effects on unarmed attacksOrigin feats is probably a very fun feature in tabletop but it feels extremely limiting in a video game where your characters have predefined backgrounds.
>>565777669Never thought about building Jaheira as a monk I admit. I usually use Lae'Zel for that

>>565776113they shouldn't waste time letting you play as one of the origins. both in Divinity and BG3 players overwhelming preferred to make their own character.
>>565821461Yeah I don't understand this "origin characters" thing
>>565821461I never ever felt like I wanted to play as a companion I tried twice and dropped the playthrougs, making a character is half of the fun in rpgs
>>565820181I prefer Necromancy of Thay
>>565776323>I'm an "old" player, which justifies my slopThat's a new one. It would be more accurate to say that you're a player who doesn't care about the narrative and would rather mod in extra party members for self-gratification. You used to be able to have six party members in BG1 and BG2 - only "old" players know that, of course. It follows that your party in BG3 should be as large as you want. Unfortunately, your kind now feels welcome in this dying general. So soak in all the attention and praise you're getting from being a cheater, playing a midget, and taking funny pictures where everyone poses for the camera. You can be /bgg/'s last attention whore.>>565810268If you're going to inflate enemy stats to that extent, then you need to change your strategy, not smash your head against a wall. Calm Emotions trivializes the gnoll fight, by the way.
He bought bg3 he's allowed to mod it however he wants
>>565822987Personally I always read it in chapter 1 for the bonus and then destroy it for 500 xp.
>>565824818but he's not free to flaunt it around in public
>>565824937Yes he is what? Nobody cares lol not even the schizo it's just his gimmick, let people mod their games
>>565824830I just like it because I like all necromancy stuff. That being said you can sacrifice that act 1 buff in the mirror of loss for free extra stats.
>>565822987Shut up Edwin
>>565825298Fun fact:Lorroakan was supposed to be Edwin in disguise according to early access datamining

mmmmm I love your musk, Tav. Want to see a magic trick?

>>565826148>level 20you are like a little baby, watch this
>>565819453Someone post that picture. It's a black and white doodle grouping the humans and elves illustrating the breakdown of companions. I wish I had saved it.>>565824830>destroy it for 500 XP and keep the Forbidden Knowledge buff which you can then sacrifice for a guaranteed +2Holy shit this is more useful than Danse Macabre. Does the Forbidden Knowledge bit allow Selune Shart to use the Mirror or is that a no-go?
>5.5e (and the BG3 mod equivalent) lets a max investment Warlock get 3 extra attacks a level later than FighterMove over, Fighter. Warlock is coming for your throne.
>>565832690during my period
This is why people hate astarion fans between the ugly tattoos, obnoxious catering, wyll hate and the period jokes theres a reason people stake astarion
>>565835673Wyll would be better off as a lemure.
See?
>>565835673cry about it
>>565833901Warlocks are clearly the main characters of dnd
pretty sure fighter is the most picked class
>>565837327I feel like it's a cross between Warlock, Cleric, and Bard. Those three always have something to say, whether it's about their god, their patron, or just what they feel like saying. Rogue gets an honourable mention because they treat themselves like they are the main characters (and no one else does).
>>565835319they should have added that to the game
>>565838751btw one more reason Astarion isn’t gay
>>565838751nghh
>>565838930mogged by handsome paladins
so this is the power of bg3 modders...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hh8N3jAlbM
A vampire in bg3...means...A werewolf in divinity!
>>565840169wow finally something!?
>>565841201/bgg/ is team jacob
Werewolves are cringe.
Bro there's a fanart of astarion slurping period blood and nobody complained we're way past caring about things being cringe
>>565841981Does this also apply to daughters of werewolves?
>>565833002No. Selunite Shart cannot use the mirror under any condition. The only way shadowheart can use the mirror is either if she goes all in for Shar or she talks to the mirror before choosing to free her parents.
>>565842257>soooo my name is shadowheart two goddesses are fighting over me my mentor is viconia I got a magic scar and I may or may not turn into a werewolfI'm glad John didn't make her one that's way too many gimmicks
>>565839587I read some questions the author answeredshe said they would fuck eew
>>565841981>>565842257>>565842519Shart erased her memory of being called cringe.
>>565842614No way what the fuck? She's cucking all the girlies LMAO people already hate Sebastian what is she thinking?
>despite being the 5.5e mod and being capable of implementing custom resources based off a variable like a stat modifier, the 5.5e uses the base game verson of Dark One's Own Luck, not the new 5.5e versionDid I say Fiend pact? I meant Fey pact, I definitely made a pact with an Archfey. MUCH more reasonable patron.
>>565842253so gross and depraved!! can I see this art?
>>565845029...>>565838751
>>565842519>shadowheart opens her mouth>SHAR SHAR SHAR MY LADY SHAR>astarion opens his mouth>CAZADOR CAZADOR CAZADOR OH DID I MENTION CAZADORwhy dont these companions know how to shut the fuck up
>>565845375>>565845757I audibly laughed seeing these two back to back.
>>565845869Let them cook maybe wyll's va would have won an award or two if wyll had something to talk about
>>565842886I have no idea who her target audience is there aren’t many fujos among astarionsisters
>>565842886Astarion fucked 1000s already retard
>>565845983/bgg/ loves its evil women
>>565846292They are never fixing Wyll's voice lines being wrong
>>565846681Oh sure that's the same thing as having entire paragraphs about him fucking some random guy enjoy the read I guess
Wyll deserves a novel more than astarion
>>565846969seeing as this is a official dnd product it is not going to be on the level of a ao3 fic.
>>565847106a twitter user said this
What about minthara
>>565847604even more worthless than wyll
Step one of playthrough finished.
>>565848421toadcel NOT going to like this
>>565848421I don't understand why we post these things unprompted. It will only trigger a deluge of retaliatory image spam. We are going to be inundated with frogposts for the next several hours. Thanks a lot.
>>565848782Will he like this?
>>565848421I don't bother recruiting manthy but I don't make a meal out of it, pal
>>565849165I'm going to make a meal out of manthy too.
>>565849103>unpromptedbecause namefag broke him by posting the truth and so he retaliates by posting dead minthara then the frogfag also broke him by posting the truth now he posts dead lae'zel
>>565849359 I don't care about whatever retard drama you're referring to. It's cringe and you're cringe. I haven't posted on here for a week so I wouldn't care about it anyways. I kill Lezel, Manthara, and Karl Ack every single playthrough.
uh huh it just so happens the character you like is the one you avatarfag withit just so happens the characters that die is the ones that speak the truthuh huh yeah
Comfy hours are over? I'm out
>>565850529Yup. That's my girl.
>>565850564yep ruined by>>565848421
>>565850390>I kill Lezel, Manthara, and Karl Ack every single playthrough.My knees... they're bending on their own... !!!though i usually keep lae'zel
>it's already begunHere we go. >>565850564I'd go with you but I like to talk about the things I'm experiencing in-game and as awful as this place is I'd still rather post here anonymously than go to a place like r*ddit.
>>565850390based
>>565850564why dont you do this when they post karlach's head being pissed on
>>565848421Here's step 2, bitch!!
>post dead astarion, wyll, shadowheart, karlach, gale*silence*>post dead laezel or mantharaAAA THIS GENERAL IS THE WORST!!! POSTERS ARE EVIL MONSTERS nooticed
>>565853831you the retard who thinks you should advocate for other groups?
>>565853831>dead>galeDo they sac him to Boooal or something like that? Can't post a dead gale if he's stuck in the portal.
Posting my ugly evil chud waifus dead is TOO far - /bgg/ anons
>>565854536beautiful frog
>>565853227because achfags are not nearly as obnoxiousyou get the reaction you deserve
>>565854446If you told me all the frogposting came from one mentally ill anon, I'd believe you.I'd also believe it if you told me every single defender or detractor of characters or any other autistic topic was each championed by a single person./vg/ is a sick and twisted board where these kinds of people are very, very real.
>>565858080the dead body poster is certainly just one mentally ill guy
>>565857685>karlachfags aren't obnoxious>gets mad over dead laezelwhat?
>>565842886She's doing you a favor. Now you can safely dismiss the content of this so-called "tie-in" novel before even reading a single page. The same way you'll be able to dismiss the content of the upcoming live-action "adaptation" from a single glance at the cast or synopsis. And in doing so, you may demonstrate a care for the character(s) that is a foreign concept to the morons that dress them up like Barbie dolls. It's amusing that WotC believes they can cash in on the success of BG3 years down the line. It's offensive that they think they can milk a story out of years spent in servitude, and spice it up with a tone-deaf romantic encounter. (It's what the readers want.) The game canon is the only one that matters.
>>565858963>Now you can safely dismiss the content of this so-called "tie-in" novel before even reading a single page.She consulted Astarion's writer. He approved it
>>565848421There a mod that lets you use the pissing animation the gobs have in photomode?Need it for wonderful scenes like this.
I love mods so much bros.
>>565860026SEXO
>>565859252It's more likely that he briefly checked whether plot points broke continuity and then washed his hands of it, but sure, let's go with that version if you want. Maybe he did approve of this mysterious handsome paladin who exists solely to remind the audience of Astarion's ambiguous sexuality. (It's what the readers crave.) I have no emotional investment in the success or failure of that product.
>>565657286Gonna try playing this for the first time tonight. I heard this game was a bit easy if you are coming from games like Pillars and Pathfinder. I usually play those games on the highest or second highest difficulty.
>>565861472Ouch. I'm going to post some gameplay so the trip will be relevant at least.
>>565861378>>565861535where have I seen your name before
>>565861654Probably nowhere friend. I'm just a nice guy trying to find his way.
mental illness
Uh oh, seems like Godey likes to... BONE and tell. Astarion's become quite popular around the old BONEyard.
>>565863808
>>565863808funny
>>565863808not sure whats happening here
>>565864021Okay I dont have a surge protector so I cant use my PC and play at the same time. ps5 came in the mail and the game is about halfway downloaded. I think I understand how to get the PS5 screenshots to my phone so I'll just have to phone post. Should be ready soon.I dont know if you guys are going to make fun of me for not PC gaming. But I guess ypu can get it out of your system now if you want.
>>565869171Dont know why i replied to that guy. While I wait fow download, tell me what about the game captivated you. You have to have a prwtty strong fanbase to have a general up for all this time
>>565864007>hfw the bone hits the sissyspot
Okay tried the honour mode a few times and got raped. Ill give it one more go
>>565863808Teehee
>>565858963Don't talk to me
>>565884960>honour modeI don't understand why they called it that way. It could have been "Iron Throne" mode for instance, to make a lore-friendly pun to regular Ironman mode
>>565888734Because you can't savescum and only have one save file
Dont respond to the tripfag. It will go away on its own if it doesn't get the attention it craves.
Halsin saved my life
>>565888892Yeah so it's like, you know, some kind of Ironman mode, which is what I said
When's patch 9?
>>565889317we thought that about the namefag and hes still here
>>565895234People ignore him so hard he samefags all the time to be fair
>Emperor at the start of Act 3 fight: I am not your enemy! The githyanki are!>also Emperor: attacks me as if he is my enemyGetting mixed signals here.
I hope that larian is cooking something for this summer
Just changed the game's banner on steam. Couldn't stand fagstarion's grin anymore
>>565904842Are there any anime ones?
I'm wrapping up my first playthrough and I decided to side with the Emperor. Maybe it's recency bias, but it doesn't feel right to betray the person that's been protecting my character all game. My realmslore isn't the best, but helping A singular renegade mindflayer seems a lot more sensible than making the entire githyanki race stronger.I loved Neverwinter Nights 2 while I was growing up, and the githyanki did not ingratiate themselves to me. This game made me hate them even more. They're so repulsive, so stupid, so unappealing, so ugly with their emaciated bodies and Michael Jackson noses and being ripoff Klingon without the coolness Klingon have. If it had been any other race, there could have been a dilemma. But apparently this isn't the mainstream opinion? I did some reading online and most people seem to hate the Emperor and are enthusiastic to help Orpheus. Even though they want you sell your soul to a devil? I did get spoiled on some aspects of the Emperor's behavior (like with Stelmane), but even in a least-generous interpretation of events I can't bring myself to hate the Emperor. Everything they do seems to lack malice and I can't hate someone for not wanting to die.
>>565910593He's defending you purely out of self interest, but he's still defending you nonetheless. A lot of people discredit that because "intentions matter", but if they were in the same situation I guarantee they would act as he had no matter how they protest "nuh uh I wouldn't".
>>565884960Made it off the ship. Went into spells and figured out the goth girl Shadowheart can swap out spells for command abd make boss drop his cool sword. Thwn i snagged it. Managed to steal the demons sword but couldnt beat him. I bet he had good loot or exp. Oh well I can try again if I lose this run. Playing honour mode is probably stupid for a first run, not very used to 5e rules. Im more 3.5 and pathfinder familiar, but ive played divinity original sin so that might help s8nce its the same devs and engine
>>565911231>but he's still defending you nonethelessAnd that's good enough for me.
>look for bg3 stuff on twitter >get jumpscared by shart eating pussy and obese gale/halsinI hate this community, literally all you guys do is talk about sex and that's without bringing up all the astarion dramaI blame the fact that bg3 is a dnd gameFuck you guys divinity waiting room
>>565911403Run almost ended here jesus christ
>>565860026elf hag sexoalthough tits too big
>>565911403>human male paladinBORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>565913194Don't be like that, we like John Baldur here too.
BG3 did not do Viconia injustice. If she wasn't an evil person at heart she would have stopped worshipping Shar and turned to Eilistraee.
>>565913739Yes it did
>>565914112t. sharran novice anon
>>565914251You gotta add the green arrow otherwise you're the sharran
>>565904842
>>565914728>umm akshuallyyou sure showed him
The twink elf Astarion made me look like a bitch in front of Shadowheart. Then I met this wizard Gale. I think the game is kind of weird with the pacing of the appearance of these guys. Its organic enough though. We were all on the ship when it crashed>>565913194I always play elf/half-elf wizards so this is actually me changing things up kek. But I thought Id go for a traditional hero for once.
Nice!
