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: >>570099621

>>570508210anon, your toad?
>>570508436As of literally 10 minutes ago, offering sex to Astarion, who admittedly was a bro and didn't accept out of respect to me. I guess it's just me, Astarion, and my butler in this cruel world.
>>570502025To seduce you
>>570508876On the off chance you're serious, Astarion is literally just acting like a flirtatious escort hereHe's attempting to charm Lae'zel and keep her under his thumbShe hits him with "Yeah bro I'll fuck you if you shut the fuck up and get me off first and stop being such a little bitch"And he counters with 'h-haha... uh... no thanks I left my oven on haha....' because he wasn't actually expecting such bluntness
>>570509197but there's no option to have sex, she just talks for a minute or two then ghostshow can this be called seduction?

I don't know what camp casting is.Just the Gale warding bond trick? Or something else.
I still think that the emperor is the worst character in the game and actively makes bg3 worse
>>570520173you can make shadowheart, jaheira or halsin cast aid and all sorts of buffs at camp before switching back to your core companions
>>570502025I know it's Empy, but...
oh ffsif you just mindlessly hit autoselect when long resting it will consume the 750g value owlbear egg as part of the rations. couldnt they make that exempt from the autoselect god damnit
>Ask withers to resurrect shart with 1500 gold>He pretends I don't have the goldMhhhh
after replaying bg3, dos2 & dos1 you know what I've come to realize? they should balance the game around 5 or 6 characters, 4 is waaay too gay, you barely get to interact with most of the party or listen to their opinion & stuff, I know why they won't do it(multiplayer) but fuck bro, it just doesn't feel like an rpg party with 3 measly companions it's lame
>>570523557
big red hot fire lady :DDcrush me with thighs pls :DDDD
>>570523557most crpgees give you more characters, bg3 balancing is too iffy I guess

>>570525487
>>570525487oof
>>570525487the current supposed shart fags have never once mentioned that she says her favorite food is fish so this post from years ago from someone who found out she's a slut so left her is still more genuine than everything since. every post about her now is just saying i want to fuck her
>>570526097let it all out babe it's good for you
>>570526097True, but to be fair saying "I want to fuck her" is being genuine too. You can be a simpleminded person.
>>570526097You know you broke your eternal (virgin) paladin oath to her right
>>570526575
Day 238. My Shadowheart and I are alone at last. Grandfather and grandmother aren’t here anymore. She says it’s better this way, but my stomach is starting to hurt. I don’t think I’m supposed to eat them raw but she says it’s better this way. She only lets me come here every so often. She doesn’t like the light the screen gives off. I agree with her that it’s better this way, it hurts my eyes. My fingers have been rubbed raw from scratching her back, but they don’t bleed anymore. I just wanted to let you all know that it’s just her and I now and it’s better that way.

>“Foreshadowing” is a narrative device in which suggestions or warnings about events to come are dropped or planted.
I don't blame him for dumping shart since these were made before her halsin lust was common knowledge and that does fundamentally change what kind of person she is and how she approaches relationships. being devoted to someone who is devoted to you is based, and dumping someone who you discover is not actually devoted to you is also correct. staying with her after discovering her lust for other men is the cucked thing to do. dumping her is the right thing to do. he's unironically right and you are the cuck. this is why Im a frogchad.
>>570527015>mintharafag:this is why I'm a frogchad.
>>570527015shart fags staying with someone they know lusts after halsin while calling other people cucks has always been one of the funniest things here. total lack of awareness
Mintharafag is the biggest cuck
>sharters hating on lae'zel's skin while being silent about ack's worst skin
>>570527394I mean...
The Toadcel brain: how can I make this about Shart and Karlach?
>>570527438true, real, and cute frog!
>>570527543of course, every thread there's some fag whining about frog's skin but never about ack's way worst looking tattoo'd skin. It makes one wonder if they're just prejudiced (they are)
>karlach:
>>570527316someone who discovers their partner lusts after other men so dumps them is acting reasonably. the person who is ok with it and stays with that person despite that is the one actually exhibiting cuck behavior. sharters accuse others of the thing they are guilty of.
>>570525487So many things about this besides being creepywhat the fuck did he mean by "conduct the Loviator ritual every night" does he mean bondage sex? He's really into that. >keeping Shadowheart's real name a secretFunny he complains about cringe Shart not using her real name was
>>570527642Hating on Karlachfags is passé and uncouthIt’s like hitting a guy in a wheelchair
you fellas sure dislike that shadowheart lady
>>570527796>sharters accuse others of the thing they are guilty ofbingo>>570527957the more people find out more about her the more they dislike her, who would have thought
>>570528124why did you break your oath? you swore eternal love to shadowcute
>>570525487Cringe, sounds like a woman typed that. Anyways, the only thing I can sort of relate to is the 1st one except the other way around. She carries my shit.
>>570528265>sounds like a womanhe fucking wishes
>>570528196it'll shatter your fragile ego and the narrative in your head but i was never interested in shart
>more they dislike herNot everyone is a romance obsessed incel thoughReally enrages Toadcels and Mantharafag that Shadowheart is popular
>>570527957Typical incel cognitive dissonance.>>570527438What's wrong with Karls' skin? She's got some burn scars, but the rest of her looks tasty.I like Lae for being a sniffstacy though. Imagine how much she loves a hairy human/helf muff.
>>570528693>I like Lae for being a sniffstacy though. Imagine how much she loves a hairy human/helf muff.
whenever someone says they're not interested in the woman who lusts after halsin the shart fags always say you must be mintharafag.whenever someone points out that staying with shart after finding out what she lusts after is the only cuck behavior they always say you must be mintharafag.they lie to themselves that only one person isn't interested in an unironic slut

Ah, those posts from early access bring back fond memories. Back when she was more evil and snarky before her personality was changed, and back before they added all the weird Halsin stuff.I was ready for the secret agent with a codename waifu, but then it turned out that's not really the case, and what we ended up getting was "you can't cast some light without a little shadow". "No dad, I know seeing me again was the only thing that kept you alive/sane for 40 years, but don't call me that".>>570529183Based. I respect that. This entire thing has gotten completely blown out of proportion by dishonest malefactor shitposters, like the one who brought this topic up again today. Other than lusting after Halsin and other than thinking the light/shadow line was a pithy thing to say to her father, she is otherwise a fine character who is obviously written to be appealing. She still has the happily-ever-after endings, I don't know why the dishonest shitposter has to ignore those, or lie by pretending anyone including me has ever discounted those. Every Shartfan who just says "yeah that Halsin stuff is weird but if you don't pursue it, she only mentions it one other time in addition to that but you can ignore it a second time and then she never brings it up a third time" and just keeps playing is totally fine. John is a pervert who made his two dollies lust after each other, but you can shoot it down both times they bring it up. The game gives you the option to say no.I feel like there's only one or two actually bad shart fans, they're the same ones who originally lied by saying this stuff doesn't exist, and then swapped to lying by saying it only exists in the brothel, and then swapped to lying that it was only a dream and not an active daydream. It's the guy who was systematically proven wrong on all of his claims thats the one constantly shitposting about this topic and bears a grudge against me since I was the one who proved him wrong each time.>>570529225based

>>570537529Every accusation is a confession for the parasite. It calls you a Shadowheart hater, then turns around and claims she was always a slut in "defense" of her. It whines about the namefag ruining generals, yet hijacks the OP to remove the question about Minthara (1), spams its namefag-obsessed pasta (2) in every thread, and, unprompted, digs up old namefag posts. It mocks Mintharafag for changing waifus, yet is incapable of caring about any in the first place. The creature is not a fan of any character - though it is certainly a fan of spamming non-characters (>>570432096, >>570463639). The parasite is defined by hypocrisy. The waifufag, as flawed as they may sometimes be, can at least be assumed to genuinely love their waifu.(1) https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/search/subject/bgg/text/-minthara/start/2026-01-01/(2) https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/553545974/#553732537

>>570583694nope :)
All cosmetic mods for this game are only for the humanoid races (humans, elves/helves and tieflings) so annoying
>>570583108He's gay-coded but not really gay.
>>570584382that crop top is gayer than halsin bringing up literal gay pirates while trying to rizz you

>>570596953Ayo this frog freaky
>>570560331So this has been covered several times so I'm unsure if you're honestly just misremembering or if you're doing this on purpose, but it's not a dream. I don't know why the shitposter keeps saying it was a dream. This is one of his lies that we referred to earlier in this very thread. Her line is "The thought has crossed my mind once or twice, or more than a few times". A thought crossing your mind means it's something you've thought about and considered while awake, and saying "or more than a few times" means it wasn't just some random intrusive thought that she dismissed, it was something that happens to her "more than a few times". The wording of this line eliminates it just being a dream at night, and it also eliminates it being a random intrusive thought since she kept doing it. Part of the issue with this line has always been the very intentional way it was worded that actually eliminates two of the common things people use to dismiss it. John made careful word choice to establish she does it intentionally and she does it multiple times. If it was just an intrusive thought, or if it was just a dream she didn't control then things would obviously be different. This is in addition to the camp scene where he proposes a threesome, and she again encourages you to "climb mount Halsin" and that she would never prevent someone from that, which implies a certain disposition towards him as well. So all of this stuff is also not only contained in the brothel, which is the other common line people will say.My message has always been that if you love your waifu then love your waifu, accept her for who she is. But at some point people really should stop lying about her to misrepresent the things she says. They should either accept her for who she is, or decide they don't like these aspects of her and find someone else. Bot are viable. But sitting around literally lying by saying it was just a nighttime dream or that it's only in the brothel is not productive.

Shadowheart's kind, loving, patient, and loyal wife....Singing to Shadowheart by the campfire after a long day of fighting bad guys....Writing a ballad about Shadowheart's heroic deeds saving Baldur's Gate from the dastardly cult of the absolute...Embarking on Shadowheart's quest to discover her memories, and then making new ones, together....Cuddling with Shadowheart and suddenly she whispers to you her real name....Shadowheart running her fingers through your hair as you sit and watch the stars together, then she says she's happy that she can finally appreciate the moon now that she has escaped from Shar's deceptions...Using your reaction to jump in front of an arrow that met or exceeded her armor class....Getting Loviatar's blessing from the priest in the fort and Shadowheart liked watching that so she tells you that you need to do it again every night in order to keep the blessing, and that she happily volunteers to help you....Using your adventuring money to buy the nicest wine in Baldur's Gate for your date at the lake with Shadowheart....but then reminding her that it's dangerous to drink and swim because you love her and care about her safety more than you value looking cool....Using detect thoughts to find out what Shadowheart's favorite camp meal is, and then always collecting those camp supplies....no, that's an invasion of privacy, I will never use magic or tadpoles to look at Shadowheart's mind, I'll just ask her normally....Taking proficiency and then expertise in chef's tools at character creation so you can always make the yummiest meals for your wife Shadowheart....

>>570600115Using detect thoughts to find out what Shadowheart's favorite camp meal is, and then always collecting those camp supplies.... Hmmm.... This thought crossed her mind more than once or twice. Must be her favorite activity and I should press further to surprise her eith that.... She dreams about WHAT???
>>570600842the wyll jumpscare, a classic
honestly namefag's detractors look more insane than the namefag these days
>>570599975Right, during the set up discussion where you ask her if she's interested in Halsin joining, she says "the thought crossed my mind once or twice, or more than that". The line where she says he was in her dreams and that he made them lively is *another* line in the brothel that occurs after the one I'm taking about, when they're closer to having sex. So both exist, one line about him being in her dreams and one about how she has actively considered having sex with him while awake. Both establish that she is attracted to him, has been for a while, it's active consideration not just dreams, her attraction is explicitly sexual, and that it's been multiple times over time.The shitposter intentionally muddies the water by conflating these two lines, and this has been covered enough times that it must be intentional.

>>570609541Sloppify >>570609225 and insert her personality: loyal, monogamous, trad
>>570608145In the past I didn't like doing stuff like this since you miss out on xp, but after a few playthroughs I noticed that they start giving you hundreds of xp just for walking into places in act 2 and act 3. It's designed so that if you skipped everything in act 1 or even parts of act 2, you get to certain level within minutes in act 3.I used to really minmax xp in early act 1 hitting level 4 then 5 at certain points before doing certain things, but Swen knows the average gamer is not going to do that, so he probably wisely implemented the system where you're essentially boosted with hundreds of free xp just for exploration.That said, some of the mods I'm trying really upgrade the difficulty, so I think now I am forced to hit certain levels before certain things. Like I did Flind at level 4 like I've done a dozen times on regular honor mode, and with the new mods I straight up died. So I'm really enjoying some of these changes.
>>570610513cold froggyalso are gith warm blooded? i imagine if they're in astral plane they wouldn't be otherwise they're just constantly venting heat into the voidso i guess cuddle your frog to keep her warm
>>570609956>>570610106The quality of the lines is the same as Skyrim as they come from external LLMs, it's the customization options that are lacking in the BG3 mod. Character profiles, setting to control how often they speak, how long they banter.But its ok, if you are willing to micromanage it a bit
>>570610994dunno but she sure is cute!
What if the brothel scene gave you a unique buff?
>Sharran rat bites Gale>Shadowheart Warding Bonded Gale earlier in the day>Shadowheart blames Gale for Sharran actionsIt's like poetry, it rhymes>>570610986If there were any difficulty mods that made the game actually more difficult (buffing enemy stats/tactics/placements) instead of just gigabuffing enemy HP and giving them more actions, they'd probably be more interesting
The way Halsin can be self-confident enough to tell you, a total stranger, exactly what is wrong with you and what you need to do to fix it, but also so shy that someone bragging about his accomplishments in front of him is enough for him to blush and want to turn into a mouse so he can hide, is truly amazing. He is shy at heart but necessity lets him power past it, but in moments when the attention is all on him, it comes right back.You just know he was the child hiding behind his parents' legs whenever a stranger introduced themselves. Until he got "too big" for that at the age of 8 and then he promptly mastered the Autistic Art of Staring at the Ground While Introducing Himself
>>570609541You should do it. She's the most popular waifu by a large margin, and probably like 90% of people who like her aren't even aware of the stuff we talk about. You can immediately shoot down all of the poly stuff with Halsin, and if you weren't aware of it ahead of time you could go the entire game never learning about that aspect of her, like many people do and even I did my first time through the game.You should do a playthrough for every waifu, playing how you would play un-influenced by other people, and then decide for yourself which was your favorite.
>>570611731Anons will screech at you for this because they want to pretend>Until he got "too big" for that at the age of 8 and then he promptly mastered the Autistic Art of Staring at the Ground While Introducing Himselfthis isn't them

>>570611768i just feel like i'm getting a sour deal.frogfags get this whole arc at the creche with character development. sure the frog is ugly and stupid but she becomes loyal and useful and the sex is great.karlachfags get touchy-feely karlach, she is so stubbornly positive that it heals your hearth. shartcels get a single kiss, a bunch of chores, and potentially stuff in act 3 (1 million hours into the game). but only if you did all the chores.and then anons turn around and say that she wants to do gangbangs with you and another dude, man what the hell, this whole time she is playing hard to get in act 2... i thought it was because she was frigid but she's not frigid at all, she's thinking about other dudes.it's just fucked up.

>>570609371I doubt the AI slop enthusiast above is in it to look cool. I doubt AI slop even registers as slop in his addled mind. His kind is only motivated by the prospect of turning Mizora into a sex doll, complete with an outsourced, AI-generated "personality." We have to be precise in our accusations. Not every pigslop enjoyer is an attention whore like the swine. Not every player is capable of exercising their imagination - some would rather turn Gale into an owlbear and "roleplay" an albino dragonfreak murderhobo.
>>570623841I have never tried to stop Lae'zel from leaving, but she always seems sad and misses the player when you see her in the epilogue. Pretty cute.

>>570666482It feels pretty gross to me, to see a humanoid face kissing an animal face.

>>570679674thanks?
>>570666482I don't care about that, it's more about them being silly to me.I love the durge design for canon durge, but I will always play him as a human because it's the only way I can take the run semi seriously.
>>570666482I genuinely think you're a deranged freak if you play anything other than human, elf or tiefling
Tribe?
>>570691520>tieflings are ok because they make my dick twitch
>>570691520>>570691981Tieflings still look mostly human, like drows, etcBut when a player picks gnome you know he's doing for the laughs, he's not a deranged freak but he's like those guys who always intentionally make ugly monsters in character creation.
>>570692229dwarfs are cool
>>570692229orcs are cool
orcs are based
>>570695194yup yup
>>570695443Larian denied us this
once or twice... or more than that
This is so humiliatingSpent 10 minutes explaining to my boyfriend why I wasn’t romancing Astarion this run, it wouldn’t make sense for my character etc, etc.Managed to reject him at the tiefling party (white knuckling the controller) and this man has the audacity to come onto me again after the next long rest.I folded. My boyfriend apparently saw it coming from a mile away.
Alright so I have played 1000+ hours and I am finally romancing wyll. Normally I don't touch him at all. Warlock is hard to fit into a team comp and in general I don't really talk to him. I do his quest, save him and dad, all the while he sits in camp the moment I recruit him. Though now I am going through my current playthrough and I'm finally romancing him as he is the only romance I haven't done. He is so damn charming. He has me giggling and smiling like a school girl.
Not even in a romantic sense, I just adore Wyll Ravengard with all my heart. He's a genuinely good guy, he's badass, and he has some of the best banter with the other party members.It's a shame he didn't click with a lot of people, but I get it. However, he did click with me and before I got the party limit remover mod, he was a permanent member of my party. I just wanted to make this post since it seems Wyll gets overlooked and wanted to spread some positivity for my favourite rapier thrusting, eldritch blast slinging warlock.

>>570702003what about wyll
all I wanted was more orcs & dwarves to redeem bg3's TERRIBLE companion roster...I'm sorry but halsin, minthara & wyll are unfinished garbage and jaheira & minsc are only here to please the boomers
I remember lone, isolated npcs so I can sneak out of camp alone and murder them in the morning before the companions wake up... bathe in their gore and all that stuff...
>>570702003Karlach is the least fitting personality wiseI'd choose between laezel and minthara

>>570702171I agree with this minus Jaheira. Shes great
>>570702003 (Me)probably better to go fighter2. with AA your DC for arcane arrows will be low and you are giving up bard secrets at bard 10 and a full caster level. and you will only have level 3 spells at character level 9. but if you go fighter2/swbard7 you still get all the equipment prof and action burst while getting level 4 spells right away.

>>570708826>>570707705who has the best content in act 3 out of:>lae'zel>karlach>minthara
>>570707080sure. I played her as pure beastmaster with two spooders once and she did fine. it's your life, ese
>>570710070why not jaheira?
>>570710070>Act 3Minthara has little to no content outside of a Durge run.Act 3 is the moment when Karlach's story expands and despite this, it's not very much.Lae'zel has...side content, in the sense that involves major arching plot points that are tangentially related to her.
>>570710393thanks anon. what about jaheira or minsc?minsc archer makes sense, he was a ranger in bg1 iirc
>>570710525Minsc has only content in Act 3, and I have respec'd him as a Wild Magic barbarian in the past. But Beastmaster is also pretty cool I guess, the AoE ranged attacks are nice and yes, Gloom Stalker /Assassin is stil one hell of a subclass multiclass.Jaheira can be used as a jack of all trader, a Moon Druid with fighter multiclass that can cast and use melee effectively. Her related content spans from the early bits of Act 2 till the very end of the game, she's a good character and the only one that felt somewhat faithful to the previous game entries in the series.
>>570710070I love Minthara but she has literally no contentWhat little she had didn't even work at release
>>570710070Among the three i'd give it to Karlach honestly.She has at least some interaction in the city with npc's and points of interests, whereas the other two have jackshit.Lae'zel essentially is a sideplayer due to her quest being tied to the House of Hope, which barely feels like a direction connection to her.Minthara has some hilarious lines but that's it.I also give Karlach a bonus because she's unique as she offers to become a mind flayer, unlike every other companion.
we're cooked
>It's fairly easy, see: when Cazador sent Astarion to the kennel to punish him, do you think Godey boned him?>It's a silly double entendre, as "boned" usually refers to a sexual act, but since Godey is a skeleton and when know he has beaten Astarion, the joke becomes a textbook example of absurdism.Subhuman.
>>570719328Astarion raped you in Divinity
>>570719550You forgot to compliment the subhuman's slop.>Being sexually abused is not the same as being used as a prostitute to attract hundreds of victims for your master.

>>570724365dumb & dumber
>>570724027careful you get banned for that
>>570720320It all depends on how you define sexual abuse. The subhuman swine claims that Astarion was never sexually abused, which makes it acceptable, in its subhuman mind, to crack a rape joke as a greeting (1). The game never goes into detail about what Astarion went through, but we need not rely on headcanon. What we know for certain is that the narrator is explicit about his dissociation during the brothel orgy.>Narrator: *But when you meet his eye for a moment, there's a look about him that reveals he's a million realms away.*The subhuman swine doesn't care about that - it has continued doubling down on its rape joke (2) (3). The subhuman swine probably struggles to conceptualize what dissociation means. It has called me a hypocrite for repeatedly calling out its subhuman joke. I think hypocrisy is claiming to care about the companions only to joke about them being raped. Worthless shitposters like the swine and the parasite are incapable of caring about the companions. So when they post pigslop and ugliness, acting as if nothing happened, I feel compelled to remind the general of their true nature.(1) https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/499537401/#499560139(2) https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/502637171/#502694280(3) https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/536542557/#536623396

>>570480512What's the proper white human male evil wizard playthrough? Gale Origin or custom character?
>>570730374Save me from the slop swen
>>570732182origin gale is actually pretty good, he gets the most amount of unique items, including the shadow spell slot and a flying cat in your camp
>>570732182Just play durge>But canonically-It's your run manLook how tuff murder can be
>>570732524>evil wizard overlord and his scheming eunich vampire right hand manI see the vision.
>>570732182gale origin gets the strongest power in the game epilogue, it's not even close. as it happens, he's also a white human male wizard. if you are an evil wizard, that's what you care about. evil wizards would look down on impulsive murdering like durge does
>>570733224Gale just doesn't strike me as the Sindri Myr kind of person. Maybe early access psycho Gale.
>>570733224>evil wizards would look down on impulsive murdering like durge doesSo, first of all>Not letting your cold calculating genius be held back by moments of utter madness, which will ultimately be your undoingSecond, durge is a canon smartass, having come up with the whole plan himself, and the other 3 chosen can't control the brain without him, as the brain itself confirms.Third, you can get rid of Bhaal... and still be evil, which is the kinoest evil playtrough, the narrator even has a line for it "At last, your sins shall truly be yours"
>>570731974That's neat. Will have to remember this for the next run.
I think it's high time we bring back a classicbibberbangposting
Wyll is my nigga
>>570733679>Sindri Myrreading online, this was a guy who genocided a planet to get power and turned into a demon?evil in dungeons and dragons, especially with wizards, usually means unscrupulous searching for power, which is something gale origin does (shadow weave).personally, i think gale would balk at the notion of wiping out a city... until he learns that the power was incredible. at that point he would be the greatest advocate, killing them all without second thoughts, making up whatever excuses are needed as they arise. he's that kind of guy.

Crack open your 2pm steel reserves anons, we're finishing up act 2Thaniel now, Ketheric after>>570736082Just play the game, weirdo. 10 times of stopping 60% through is straight up mental illness
>>570736630yeah but it's not fun anymore, i don't want to keep playing.but in half a year i'll probably give it another try and burn a weekend again
>>570736082The Act 3 opening is just a massive drop off, especially Rivington feeling largely pointless.My personal theory is also that despite being pretty loose with its progression, BG3 has a pretty set approach, it's just that in Act 1 that is largely enforced by your level (hardly anyone chooses to clear the Underdark before dealing with the Goblins / Grove).In Act 2, it's the narrative (if you rush straight for the Gauntlet, you essentially skip the entire act) and Act 3 has no rails, it's just random content and quests that feels previously just isn't how the player progresses through the game.In other games, you always have those highs and lows where you take your time and do some side quests, BG3 doesn't really feel like that to me.
>>570736630>straight up mental illnessdude where do you think we are, we have people like this guy>570726113whos been going on with theri shtick for years>>570737050>the moment you give even unfiltered agency to the player, he gets scared and starts over againI will never get this kind of mentality

I still think that to get their games to the next level larian gotta get better lead writers, they're just not at the level of an old bioware, a troika or a cdpr, the plot's stupid and the way they design their companion sidequests is hit or miss with way more misses than hitsastarion & laezel are perfect, every new story beat is interesting, they got banter, iconic lines, cool scenes & personality, an interesting story that develops the world further and diverging plotlines that strengthens the game's themes and the way the player is immersed into the world, they're the total package, top notch, perfect,meanwhile you get utter slop like halsin, emperor & wyll who are barely joke characters and you're meant to take them seriously because the plot said so the main story is also a huge miss, it's just garbage and stops being interesting around rivington, deciding to side with orin or gortash doesn't change on thing it's not like a fallout new vegas where people debate about which ending is the best to this day, bg3 needed more discourses like that but we can't have those because the plot is fucking TRASH, nobody cares if emperor or orpheus uses the stones, it doesn't change shitidk, larian got the skeleton of a game that can stand at the pinacle of rpgs but my god dude, some of the writers are fucking clowns and since swen has always been the big man he's probably fine with their garbage ideas like I don't know...a cringy ass hand scar just to hammer the fact that shadowheart is tortured by her goddess, it's not like she already got a scar on her face because of that, yeah just get rid of john he's dogshit, he was trash in dos2, trash in bg3 and he'll be trash in divinity or the space gameLike I'm playing mass effect right now yeah? And FUUUUCK it's like night and day compared to bg3, the dialogues are so mature & iconic without trying as hard as bg3 idk rant over I guess just get rid of john corcoran swen ok thanks :)
>>570744186>I'll fucking do it again
>>570747370oh nyoo

>>570609541idk why but there are a couple people in here obsessed with hating a fictional character. i check this general every couple weeks and its always the same thing. one or two dudes utterly mindbroken about the bad poly writing. you can easily ignore it but they just cant get over it i guess. they've been it at it for literal years.surprised they haven't killed john corcoran at a con or something
>>570748480anons are silly cowards and obese
>>570748480just as you have retards preaching let people enjoy things, just let people hate things
>>570748480Fed detected
>>570737050i thought about it for a bit.i think that it's because the game is less rewarding once you have more gear and levels. going from 2 to 3 is so huge, but going from 8 to 9? a lot less impactful. those first few artifacts you find, it is real treasure. a single ring can change the way a fight goes. but towards the end of act two, where I am now? your builds are locked in, your gear slots are mostly filled out. you just don't get as much joy from killing and snatching anymore.and in truth, at that point, it's even bad to get loot. if it's game-breakingly good, fine. but something a little bit better is the worst, it means you should re-evaluate everyone's equipment, you might even want to respec. but what's the point, you are doing great already. but then why even pick up loot. and then you realize you are bored.that's what i think is going on.
>>570628363She looks like my ex
>>570748392>warning off topic screenshotyeah I don't know what it is about bg3 but the writing sometimes feels so amateurish idk how to describe it, it has amazing scenes don't get me wrong, spawn astarion killing cazador, karlach crashing out, laezel realizing that vlaakith is a massive bitch, shadowheart thinking about her parents if you decide to kill them, freeing aylin, myrkul showing up(my favorite) they're fucking amazing but they're so few in a 100+ hours playthrough, I feel like this is a clear symptom of quality over quantity and larian realizing the story they wanted to tell far too late
>>570749089>going from 2 to 3 is so huge, but going from 8 to 9? a lot less impactfulthat's a WOTC ruleset problem tho
>>570749330what do you mean by this, anon? this game is using dnd 5e by wotc
>>570748442
>>570747162>it's like night and day compared to bg3, the dialogues are so mature & iconicI will never for the life of me understand the praise for ME's writing. ME1 is a 10/10 in my books despite the jank, and has some of the most thoughtfully written codex entries I've ever read - truly great worldbuilding. But ME2 and 3 are 7.5s at best, and I found the writing to be at the level of Saturday morning cartoons in those 2, with the exception of Thane and Samara (who alone might edge ME2 closer to an 8). Game's full of tinny cliches like the Salarian sacrificing himself (in what to me felt like an unearned moment), or villains giving the 'we're not so different, you and I' type speeches, and the overall plot is just passable scifi schlock.
>>570748312why is she doing that dumb poseand don't say she's dumb
She simply ran to Shart and pushed her into the abyss

>>570749293certain fags here are report crazy. I haven't played Divinty but I have heard Larian's writing have always been immature. Bioware, before they shit the bed, used to be really good at writing complex characters/universes. BG1 was very goofy but BG2 is really really good.There was some post going about how nobody wants Larian to get the Dragon Age series because their writing is so....you know how bg3 is...
>>570749293>they're fucking amazing but they're so few in a 100+ hours playthrougha turn based game will take a lot longer than an action game dummy
>>570749870>There was some post going about how nobody wants Larian to get the Dragon Age series because their writing is so....you know how bg3 is...oh my god I totally get it, I have no idea how larian would tastefully depict elf segregation or the dwarf caste system, just look at the refugree subplot in bg3 and that's without them always bringing up dead characters and reviving them out of nowhere while retconning their personality>>570749986you know what I meant
>>570749757i cannot guess why you would believe that.

>>570750150no not at all, you're comparing a bing bing wahoo shooter to a turn based game. the duration of a turn based game is going to be longer by its nature so you should be taking that into account when comparing the peaks of the story to the time played. and frequency of highs isn't a good measurement because i can't even name a single character i gave a fuck about in ME>>570750539larian has no control over the ruleset
>>570750150Also them rewriting characters to make them more likeable to everyone. DA thrived on different types of characters butting heads. The ME cast were less heated I will say besides a few moment
trying to get good writing from video games is like trying to squeeze water out of a rock.just read a book if you want that stuff. rpgs are good at cute frogs and build autism.
>>570750626>and frequency of highs isn't a good measurement because i can't even name a single character i gave a fuck about in MEI'm gonna be honest I set ME's difficulty to easy to speedrun fights I couldn't care less about the combat lmao, I definitely enjoy bg3's combat & character building more but I don't really play the game for its turn based combat, I do it because I love the way larian designs their quests and the way you get to roleplay in their game and how the game remembers every single dialogue option you pick which makes the writing all the more frustrating i m o

ATTENTION I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE:I love Lae'zel.Thank you for your attention in this matter.
>>570751945you cannot have novel-competitive good writing in movies.in the case of movies, it's a problem with the medium. you have two hours and your audience has brain rot. you are constrained by the laws of physics, you can never do better than anything but a bottom tier book because books get dozens of hours and you read several times faster than a movie can show a scene.>that's not an excuseyou are not wrong to say that. strictly speaking, there is nothing prohibiting good writing from being penned into a video game. but empirically speaking, it never happens. even book adaptations are much worse in video game form (e.g. witcher books vs games). original writing is even worse. the rockstars mentioned in this thread, like new vegas? mogged by your average young adult fiction. we can only guess why this happens, but it's our reality. i can think of a couple of guesses like the kind of work, the kind of workers, the incentives involved, etc.>>570751691>[autistic misunderstanding]>[incoherent rage]this is the average rpg writing fan.

>Wyll was already the hero of the coast>Karlach was archdevil Zariel's n1 bitch>Minthara was matron of an entire drow house>Shadowheart was chosen by Shar specifically>Gale was fucking a goddessI think a good lesson for Larian next run is to be a bit more... chill, with the companions. I guess Dark Urge is adequate in the sense he made the main plot happen, but playing Tav really makes you feel like the lamest nigga in a party of demigods, why are you even leading them?
>>570749660mannyag's game
>>570760856>Karlach was archdevil Zariel's n1 bitchKarlach was literally just some chick who was good at fighting>Minthara was matron of an entire drow houseShe was not>why are you even leading them?Gale has been depowered by the orb + tadpole. Shadowheart is specifically kept down by Viconia. Lae'zel is just some chick. Wyll and Karlach have both been depowered by the tadpole.IDK, I don't see the need to keep things "more chill." In DOS2, most of your companions have incredibly powerful and influential backstories but have been literally shackled and depowered by the source collars
>>570762669isn't minthara matron enough to be trusted with a 20+ strong surface raiding party?
>>570762830"Matron" isn't synonymous with "influential" in Drow societyMatron is the absolute head of the household, capable of fielding a raiding party of hundreds without a thought.20 men? Yes, hand it over to literally any woman of worth who asks.Minthara's exact standing in House Baenre isn't specified, but Sos'Umptu Baenre is the canon Matron of Baenre.
>>570759463How many eggs can Lae'zel lay at a time?
>>570760856Playing Tav makes me feel special for being able to keep up with all those proteges. At least Astarion and Lae'zel are in the same boat.
>>570753712Why is talking about Baldur's Gate so difficult for your kind? There's an entire general called /crpgg/ next door where you can ramble about the (mediocre) writing of CRPGs all day long. You don't have to stay here. Better yet, you can take with you the parasite compressing the entirety of the narrative or the characters into a few highlight moments. Imagine reducing the characters of Astarion and Karlach to him killing Cazador and her "crashing out." Who knew you could discuss these characters beyond their minute of voice-acting showcase. You can take with you the swine performatively praising BG3 - a special game that can "break your heart" - as it makes a mockery of the narrative and jokes about Astarion being sexually abused. I guess a rare example of a male survivor is too boring for a creature that can only react to "hype" capeshit moments.
Even durge doesn't get anything by raiding the grove, now that Minthara is available to all runs it has effectively become the most pointless fucking option ever.The worst part is that logically, raiding the grove to infiltrate the ranks of the absolute makes perfect sense, but you can infiltrate moonrise even without raiding the grove, the two events are completely and utterly unrelated. And even then infiltrating moonrise just ends with you fighting Ketheric all the same so you have lost vendors, quests, companions, and literally ALL you get is a sex scene.At least killing Isobel gives durge a cool new form, it's SOMETHING. But with raiding the grove? Nah, it's fucking terrible.

>>570767875>Even durge doesn't get anything by raiding the grovewhat about the ___fun___?
>>570768030I mean, yes, RP wise its a valid option, the issue is that with meta knowledge about how the plot is structured, it feels like you are fucking yourself over

>>570767875If massacring the grove makes sense to your Dark Urge, then that's all the justification that is needed. The mechanical reward you get from choosing a course of action - be it a new shiny toy or the favor of a blueberry elf - is not actually relevant. Compare "I murdered these people because they mean nothing to me and killing them brings me closer to my goal" with "I murdered these people because Minthara promised me a reward." Evil is often self-interested but need not be transactional. Evil exists even without the promise of a reward.
