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:>>585292771
>>585623768they'll add more scenes like the laezel/shadowheart ones to please all the trannies obsessed with lesbians
>>585623679She cuts a fine profile.
>Allows you to trigger Minthara's act 1 romance scene without having to raid the groveThis mod is mandatory
Cat race in Divinity. I feel it in me bones.
>>585623954.>>585624096they'd make so much money with the furries it'd be ridiculous, it would kill the community doe
Hopefully there won't be a l*zard companion in Divinity or at the very least they'll relegate it to one of the m*le companions. I only want attractive women as fuckable companions
>>585623879lae'zel's themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C32A75RbpJw
>>585624256>I don't care about MintharaShe's the worst of the women but I still want to fuck her along with the rest of the women. I play with the multiple romances mod.
>>585624337It is with great regret that I must hand you this L for that take. If anyone does lizards right, it's Larian.
>>585623871for sureall of the female companions will flirt with each other because of the everyone must be a raging humanist wokehomotransexual mandate and then Larian will make a slew of corporate safe horny gay thirst posts about the male companions literally nobody cares about there will ofc be a nasty orgy featuring inhumans and men, and probably some nasty ambient npc dialogue too like that dwarf in act 3 that talks about pubic hair or maybe the game will be surprise chud kino and the trailer was just b8
Gorion's Ward once said:I am excited for DivinityIdle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is an official Dungeons & Dragons tm game.Minthara was based on Tom HollandMinthara 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 cannot 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 dwarvesAlfira and many other npcs would make good companionsThe only sluts in the party are Minthara and HalsinObsessing over an optional video game sex encounter for 3 years is pathetic
>>585624773>wanting to fuck a scaly liggercringe to da max
>>585624942Give it a rest, faggot.
>>585625369Can someone explain this copypasta meme?
>>585626042it's a low quality post
>>585625489sybau
>>585626364Well, duh, but what's the context/origin?
>>585625489There will be a chuddy straight white male human knight companion but he gets buttraped by mpregging demons and has to come into terms with being anally inseminated.
>>585626042It's a forced shitpost that started because a worthless shitposter (parasite) got mindbroken by Mintharafag (1) and became obsessed with being their most vocal hater. You may ask, "But what was it about the namefag that could have caused this?" and I wouldn't have a satisfactory answer. Some shitposters are just deranged.(1) https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/553545974/#553732537>>585623871>>585624096>>585624256>>585624337>>585624773>>585624942>>585625489>>585627550Worthless off-topic garbage, courtesy of the aforementioned shitposter and its enablers. It should be reported.
>>585605727>>585601096>>585549059The obsessed stalker shitposter was caught red handed with receipts telling multiple lies. Do you think anything will change? Do you think he'll stop shitposting after being caught?
>>585627991>>585628021Here is your (You).
>>585628021can you put your name on already fatty
here comes pigschizo to derail the thread once again into talking about mintharafag. anyway, what are your least favorite classes?i absolutely hate spore druid and necromancer
>>585628728Wizard. Class for retarded uncs
>>585628809You're not versed in magic are you?
>>585628728>spore druid and necromancerwhy. I like them. Personally I hate paladin. The spellslots suck for its abilities to me
>>585628909No, Gale.
Is everyone here actually this interested in talking about some fat autist or is it one weird faggot samefagging fifty times and arguing with himself?
>>585629117Imagine if there was a discord and a couple of discord trannies sitting there talking about some namefag and how to spam generals with discussion about the namefag for years.
>>585628925i hate dealing with a bunch off shitty summons. i hate how the shitty summons clutter the screen. i hate how long they make fights. i hate resummoning them after a long rest.those two classes are firmly F tier for me. moon druid is D tier due to how annoying wildshape is when you're the pc
>>585629117he's acting like he isn't a troon himself again
>>585629631I love summons cAN'T relate. Dryad and spore zombie hit this anon
Which rape scenes would you add to the game to enhance it?
>>585628909Sorcerer is everything wizard wishes it could be and more. Only some dumbass unc would pick wizard>I EARNED my magic!!!! Lmfaoing
>>585630273Yeah, sorcerers are grotesquely overpowered. They can do well over 1500 damage in a single round with multiple witch bolts provided they have the gear + items for it. But sorcerers are the most overpowered class in the game in terms of raw damage. Wizards have a lot more regular utility, I could understand if you picked it for the rp.
>>585628728Barbarian/Ranger/Fighter. I'm not playing a class that just whacks a stick a few times or shoots arrows.
>>585631149eldritch knight is fun but i agree battle master is meh and champion is fucking boring as a monoclass. i haven't played a lot of the ranger subclasses but gloomstalker is alrightbarbarian is also pretty low on my list. throwing is super buggy and i get fucking pissed whenever my thrown weapon does damage to me upon return
>>585631149People always forget rangers are half casters.
>>585628728Spamming worthless shitposts about Larian's Next Game is not considered derailing by your shitposter logic? Hypocrite. My least favorite class in BG3 is Druid. Underwhelming selection of spells and skills, and a muddled class identity that is rarely ever expressed. So what if you care about balance and can talk to animals. Anyone can do that with a very common potion.>>585629117No. A single poster should never draw this much attention, namefag or not. Unfortunately, the namefag's haters are particularly vocal and not a single week goes by without one of them crying for no apparent reason. Take note of how many low-effort posts were spammed in the previous thread when it came to casting a vote on Shadowheart's sexuality, but very few actually wanted to discuss the character after the namefag voiced their opinion.
let's talk about polyamory representation in baldur's gate 3 and how divinity could improve on that feature
>>585632216the namefag voiced its opinion after all the discussion died down
>>585632216i'm going to ignore the rest of your post but i kind of like star druid. its the only druid subclass i like. moon druid technically does have a strong class identity but wildshape causes so many annoyances during a run i can't be bothered
>>585632729lizard poly sex
>>585632216The difference between nature domain cleric and druid is mainly shapeshifting, druid as an independent class is largely legacy content.
>responding seriously to the pigschizoyou will never learn
>>585632810Moon druid is the most fun in co-op, so your buddy can do all the talking while you just chud out in owlbear
is that one anon that uses sillytavern to run her bg3 rp still here?
>>585628728don't like paladins and warlocks because they're both charisma-based and one-note (EB/smitebot) so they're thoughtless in combat and in dialogue
>>585623679
>>585633829to be fair paladin is the only class that forces you to properly rp or face the consequences of breaking your oath. i wish clerics or warlocks had the same kind of penalty system. like what do you mean i can tell shart to murder selune's daughter, rub her daughters blood all over a statue, fuck shart in front of it, and selune will STILL give me magic to use as a cleric? the fuck? i should be prompted to pick an evil god to worship after that. maybe shar herself should open up as a deity but only after nightsong's death
>>585632884sold, I'll have 30 copies
>>585634401kek it was always strange how into the blood smearing my tav was. I'm only there for Shart, man!
>>585628728Honestly? Paladin. The holier-than-thou self righteous shtick just doesn’t do it for me.
>>585628728a class is as interesting as its class and subclass features this is why I fucking hate bg3's rogue when swen says that translating dnd classes into a video game was very limiting this gotta be what he had in mind you can't use the magic hand of the arcane trickster like you can in tabletop it's just sneak attack every single round and that's it fucking boring
>>585635354Usually the player has to push Shart into killing Aylin so it's probably likely any Tav who gets that scene has sharran leanings.
>>585632729Yeah. Don’t.
DIVINITY ON GOD
>>585637578which god
>>585634401Yeah the RP options for classes and races fucking suck. No point being a wizard when Gale is better and more important than you, no point being an ugly green frog when the canon ugly green frog is so important that everyone will still focus on her and ignore you, warlocks and clerics get 0 interactions with their patrons and deities while the origin characters do, and so on.
>>585637991who is /bgg/'s fav god
>>585638280Bladesinger wizard is a completely different archetype from Gale, never saw any issues there. Gale being better is only an issue when you want to be a generic wizard.
>>585638668bhaal got aura
>>585639010If Gale cared, he would be able to be a better bladesinger than you as well while still also being a better generic wizard. Honestly, why Gale is so nerfed is really handwaved away anyway, given a wizard's power is their knowledge. Sure, his chest orb stole his caster levels via handwavium somehow, but he can still regain them without any problems.
>>585638668Selûne
>>585624773i just got hard
>>585624773we needed one of those in bg3's party
>>585639290He only cares to become a bladesinger if you and Withers make him (non-canon). He says he doesn't want to do acrobatics but abjuration when Lae'zel offers to teach her swordfighting.
gale canonically has bad knees he's the last person to be a bladesinger he's an unc
>>585641446No wonder, I bet he spent a lot of time on his knees sucking Mystra's massive cock.
>>585642567
>>585639290>>585641354The knowledge to even become a bladesinger is mostly kept by a specific group of elves and they seethe if humans learn to do it and even don't like half-elves learning it much either.
>>585645024Any random moron wizard can create custom spells, I don't think gatekeeping a subclass like that can even be a thing.
>>585645214It's probably easily copied, yes, but the specific instruction is guarded against outsider learning it.But there's also a group of moon elves(baizou of the elven race) that teach it openly. Sunchuds seethe, but can't ultimately stop them from doing it.
Is it racist if I immediately kill these guys? They were fucking in the camp of genocidal goblin cultists after all.

I'm annoyed at how dialogue options work in this game. I want to introduce myself AND ask what's going on with Wyll hunting her, but the game seems to take my introduction as basically saying I want to fuck her and that I'm fine with everything already.
Horrible mocap and voice acting here.
>>585652064Karlach’s voice is often cringe-inducing.
>>585652125no it's not
>>585652169Any time she tries to act angry and scary, it’s cringe.
Karlach sperging out after the fight did more damage than the devil hunters. Maybe they had a point.
>>585653120Definitely seeing how she's a bit of a dev's pet. All the companions instantly like her, and after she has her autism fit there's not even a single angry response.
>>585653282world's worst barbarian
>>585632810Stars Druids have a stronger class identity precisely because they repurpose Wild Shape into a distinctive role. That's a little better, but you're still fighting an uphill battle to salvage a mediocre foundation. Players who care about their character beyond the bare minimum also don't want to spend half the game as a beast, so Moon Druids are forever a joke subclass for that reason.>>585633193There are just many interesting ways to build a character with a spiritual connection to nature but who isn't a druid. A Nature Cleric, as you said. Any Ranger you can think of. A Wildheart Barbarian. An Oath of the Ancients Paladin.>>585632729>>585637991>>585640256>>585648515Stop spamming worthless off-topic garbage, parasite.
Are there any must take feats outside of Tavern Brawler? Just hit level 4 and just took ASI on every character because everything else just kinda looked whatever. Heard Alert is great on higher difficulties but on Balanced it's been alright so far.

I'm pretty sure the bugbear egg I picked up has mysteriously disappeared from my inventory. I've been going through every character and selling everything garbage for like 30 minutes now (holy shit inventory management sucks) and I can't find it anywhere9
>>585660462*OwlbearAlright nevermind I should've checked the wiki to begin with. It's a rest material apparently, so of course it was in the camp supply suck that I never checked.

>>585661236gayle got the goddess of magic's pussy though
>>585661935What was his problem?
So got a vampire, a "totally not a devil" devil who likes snacking on people's souls, a cleric of the evil goddess with 0 nuance, Durge, possibly Minthara, and green frog girl from the space nazi empire. I feel like the only reason this party can be called the good guys is because the enemies are worse. Gale and Wyl do some a bit out of place.
>>585662547astarion dared him to do it>>585662690green frog girl is the only companion that never lies to you and that alone puts her in good alignment
>>585662690If your character is the good guy, he's the one that reins them all in.

45 days until the game awards, we're getting close to the 6 weeks mark, 6 weeks left and larian will reveal what they'll do after baldur's gate 3 and how they intend to rule the RPG spaces, this is still swen vincke's era
>>585693789The number of people who want a manlet companion is probably the same as the number of people who give their female characters a penis.
>>585664443Well, I deleted my Larian Folder and script extender. Did not fix the constant, "BG3 server is busy" messages. All it did was reset my settings and get rid of my presets, so now I have to do those all over again, on top of the server lag. I still don't know why I'm getting it. All I ever do is single player, so why should server lag be an issue?
>>585694045baby laezel's a githyanki and is still one of the most popular companions, halsin & wyll are are an elf/human, the two most popular races and they're the two most unpopular romanceable companions
>>585698902I don't like Wyll's romance because I was just trying to be nice to him as a guy, but the game took that as me being gay and made him try to kiss me.
>>585699945the game does that a lot, we really needed another way to show approval when talking to companions like something like>Wyll approves(platonic)>Wyll will remember this>Wyll is intrigued>Wyll starts blushingidk something like that
>>585700814>Shadowheart got the ick

She's just too relevant to everything in the game. This is the canon party.

BG3's player retention is kind of crazy. 3+ years on, it has never dipped below 2 million MAUs.
Divinity will be less popular than BG3 bc the setting is trash, it doesn't matter if the game is better because setting/IP is more important. I have spoken.
>I have spokenRedManletSayingWho'sThat.jpg
It is I - The One
>>585735492yeah this is why larian already started marketing it as bg3's successor you ninny, this is not a matter of setting or the quality of the lore, larian can afford high quality marketing since bg3 made over a billion you'll see everybody and their mother talk about divinity just like everybody talked about bg3 because of the dangling balls and the onlyfan hoes cosplaying as shadowheart
>>585736809Nah, the game will be less popular and have a much smaller cultural impact than BG3 did.
>>585698902>baby laezel's a githyanki and is still one of the most popular companionsIs she? I guess she's more popular than Wyll but that's about it for origins.
>>585736979you guys really don't understand how larian works and what they're capable of
>>585737120It literally has nothing to do with Larian, settings are extremely important and the reason BG3 was as big of a hit as it was came down to it being a dnd game.Divinity will be popular and make a lot of money, but it will be less popular than BG3 and have a much smaller cultural impact - this is almost a guarantee.
>>585732994They are worthless obsessed shitposters. If the namefag posts anything in /crpgg/, it will be mentioned here within minutes. But when it comes to talking about Larian games, they deliberately and maliciously come here to shit up the thread instead of staying there where they belong. >>585731257>>585735492>>585736809 >>585736979 >>585737120>>585737373>>>/vg/crpggStop shitting up the thread with your off-topic garbage. Fuck off.
Why does this wannabe janny slurp the namefag's nuts so vigorously?
same reason why you obsess about the namefag
>>585737373>It literally has nothing to do with Larian, settings are extremely important and the reason BG3 was as big of a hit as it was came down to it being a dnd game.No. No no no no no no. DND games have been utter flops for over a decade before bg3. Every single studio who was asked to make bg4 said that they don't have larian's expertise to make a game as complex & deep as bg3, they got the money, they got the lore and they don't want to work on a project that big because only larian can make CRPGs that good, bg3 was featured on the news and fucking south park why? Because the larian engine allows larian to avoid every single possible way to break the game, it allows for each race to feel unique, no. Divinity will be what GTA 5 is to GTA 4. What Elden Ring was to Dark Souls. It will be the culmination of every single bg3 did well and redeem every single one of bg3's failures it's going to be the apex of the genre until swen vincke decides to make his magnum opus once the technology will be able to fully realize his vision, until then, divinity will be the greatest CRPG of all time. You'll see. I was there. Before the release of bg3 and warned people about how big of a deal that game is. Divinity will be the bg4 to bg3 in every single way.>>585737489No. I'll keep talking about it. Cry about it. Please, seriously PLEASE, cry about it.
>>585737561he wants to have gay sex with him
This is larian we're going up up up
>>585737885You don't get it. It's a combination of both Larian and the IP, naturally both have to be good. BG3 was as big of a success bc Larian AND the IP, it wouldn't have worked without both. Divinity does not have the popularity of the DnD setting so it's not going to be as big as BG3 was
>>585737373>the reason BG3 was as big of a hit as it was came down to it being a dnd gameRidiculous. Most people who played Elden Ring had never played a Dark Souls game before. Most people who played BG3 had never played a DnD game before, nor a CRPG.Otherwise, all DnD games would be guaranteed a baseline of dependable sales (all have bombed), and the DnD movie wouldn't have flopped, despite being a more mainstream medium and also being good.High-scoring games generate a fever pitch of hype that typically snowballs rapidly around release. If Divinity score a 95+, it may well surpass BG3 in sales, given Larian is also a household name now. It'll be difficult to recapture BG3's lightning-in-a-bottle success, but it's not implausible.
>>585737373>BG3 was as big of a hit as it was came down to it being a dnd game.
>>585738943bro larian doesn't need dnd anymore, doesn't matter you'll see in a year or two, they'll show some feature that would have been crazy in bg3, people will go gaga over all the sex that game will have, maybe sprinkle in some sexy elf like astarion to attract all the women addicted to social media and boom 20 to 30 million copie sold in its first year, read the signs, larian knows why bg3 was successful, they'll improve on the formula, people will go INSANE over the post release support and we'll easily make our way to the top 20 best selling games of all time in 4 to 5 years
I like Lae'zel much but I just wish she wasn't fixed into falling for ghaik psy-op of whole Orpheus so hard
>>585740083>i wish a zealot of X culture wouldn't fall for the founding myth of their culturewut
Proud. Regal, even.
Did they patch out killing the spider matriarch by pushing her into the hole? I tried it with karlach (too big to move) and gust of wind (just doesn't work).
>>585741410Warrior of Warriors
>>585741482it still works, you can even discover its corpse in the underdark, try thunderwave
>>585742446Thanks, I did manage to do it with Gust of Wind, I just had to try a bunch of times so I got through the spider's save/resistance.
>can't burn through these webbsBoo.
>>585735492I didn't care about dnd before but BG3 definitely got me more invested in it.
>>585623671Is the in-game mod manager sufficient?
>>585744294sure, the good stuff will require the nexus mod manager though
>>585744230yup me too, bg3's early access got me watching/reading hours of dnd theory crafting vids and articles
>>585741482As a phase spider, she will just teleport out on higher difficulties. She can be shoved on lower ones IIRC.
>Swen:"I also want to thank [Wizards of the Coast], and specifically the Dungeons & Dragons team, for giving us carte blanche. I'm really sorry to hear so many of you were let go.

>1 hour into trying to chose the camp clothing and tmog for a characterjesus christ, i have three more to model
>>585735492I disagree. Larian made themselves extremely famous for the broad audience.If the normie will hear the sentence "New BG game is being made" he/she will say "Is it being made by Larian? No? Idk then, maybe ill check it out later".If the normie will hear "New Larian game is being made" he/she will "I know! I can't wait to try it, it got to be even bigger than BG3".Divinity will be much more popular than BG3.
you guys are just not ready for divinity, bg3's companion is objectively weak, there are only 4 characters that are fully fleshed out with a good romance, camp followers and major events in Act 1, 2 and 3. These are Gale, Shadowheart, Laezel and Astarion. The rest are unfinished or straight up bad. Divinity will fix that. Divinity will fix everything. Covid and the saint petersburg studio issue slowed bg3's development and forced them to cut a fuckton of scenes. Divinity will be the first time BG3 is unleashed. Just peep everything that they were forced to cut to make sure to release the game in 2023.https://steamcommunity.com/app/1086940/discussions/0/3812913565885064204/

>>585739002>Most people who played Elden Ring had never played a Dark Souls game before.The analogy is clumsy. The vast majority of Soulsborne players, newcomers or otherwise, don't care about the latest Soulsborne because of a shared setting. They care about the formula - the signature difficulty, the grimdarkness, the cryptic lore, the aesthetic. It follows that a player doesn't need to have played Dark Souls to enjoy Elden Ring, because what they expect is the FromSoftware formula before anything else. The comparison to D&D and BG3 falls apart once you consider this. The most popular and well-known D&D setting, the Forgotten Realms, is not a formula. It is a world of mythology, history, cultures, and races. Being based on D&D is obviously no guarantee of success, and many D&D works do flop. But what D&D has is decades of cultural buildup and millions of players. This familiarity is why Critical Role still uses D&D in their latest campaign instead of promoting their own system. This familiarity is (partly) why BG3 retained cultural staying power beyond its game-of-the-year popularity. I would argue that players cared more about the world and the characters than some vaguely defined Larian badge of quality. The average player doesn't care that much about encounter design, but they enjoy the accessible D&D system. The average player doesn't care that much about the many permutations the game offers, but they remember Shadowheart, Lae'zel, Karlach, and Astarion. Sure, there are clerics of evil deities, warriors of an alien culture, fiery tieflings, and vampire spawn in other settings, but these companions exist only because they fit this setting. You're predicting the success of Larian's Next Game based on the gamble that brand recognition ("From the creators of the award-winning BG3!") and word of mouth are enough to replace an actual cultural footprint.>>585737885 >>585739221 >>585750930 Stop spamming worthless off-topic garbage, you insufferable parasite.
>>585753772oh oh oh so you're allowed to talk about dark souls but I can't talk about bg3? fuck you how about that?
You are a worthless parasite using BG3 as a pretext to shit up the thread with spam about Larian's Next Game. I'm doing the opposite - starting from anon's comparison to another game to shift the discussion back to BG3 and explain its cultural staying power. This is all pretty obvious unless you are barely literate. Here's a screenshot of Shadowheart. Something more visually pleasing than your reddit screencaps and memes.

>>585753772The analogy's good. The setting, difficulty, history of a game mean nothing to the uninitiated masses. Once a game occupies the rarefied space of 95% or higher on Meta, it draws the gamer's eye like nothing else - everyone wants to experience this seemingly-generational event firsthand. It isn't more complicated than that. The characters that Larian created, along with the unmatched agency they allow in their games with up to 4-player coop, modding, photo mode, etc. is what keep people coming back, no the DnD setting.>It follows that a player doesn't need to have played Dark Souls to enjoy Elden Ring, because what they expect is the FromSoftware formula before anything else.This doesn't make any sense. The vast majority of players were new and were expecting nothing from Elden Ring aside from 'the 96-meta game that everyone is raving about'.
Will Divinity feature bush?

>>585763536What a weird thing to point out. Why out of all things would genitals be made with AI?

>>585763734everybody cooked larian once they revealed that they're using gen AI trained with the arts of their employees, even though they already used AI to analyze bg3 data during its development
only the tc schizo used that talking point and now so are you makes one think doesn't it
The only way to canonically have a threesome with Shadowheart and Lae'zel is to take over the brain, so that's what I did.

did cynthia cook? did anyone else play dos2 after bg3 and enjoyed it more? I feel like you'll prefer bg3 if you value writing and roleplay and might like dos2 more if play crpgs to be immersed in an alien world and love to make builds

>>585784719glitter dustalso spells (and shield toss) ignore dodge
>>585763340Either a game owes its success primarily to the uninitiated masses - unthinking, trend-following, FOMO-prone cattle-consumers - or to players who are already familiar with the formula or setting and have their own expectations. If it's the former, the hype is usually fleeting - in the ballpark of months, maybe. That alone can't explain BG3 (or Elden Ring) continuing to sell well beyond the year it earned Game of the Year recognition. This unusual sustained success over the years seems to suggest there is something to BG3 beyond appealing to the impulsive buyer who wants to try the Current Popular Game. (Unless you want to suggest BG3 was still very much the Current Popular Game throughout 2024 and 2025.) You make the confusing claim that "the characters that Larian created" are part of the reason players kept coming back, but then dismiss the value of the setting that allows them to exist in the first place. I believe it starts with the setting. Larian inherited a world with established cosmology, mythology, history, and culture. Shadowheart, Lae'zel, and Minthara are (allegedly) evil-aligned because they are Sharran, githyanki, and drow - because they grew up worshiping Shar, Vlaakith, and Lolth. Consider how much faith and culture can ground a character. A not-Shadowheart is meaningless without her deep devotion to her goddess and the subsequent renunciation of her faith. A not-Lae'zel is forgettable if her alien culture is a mere veneer and gives you no reason to care. A not-Minthara is nothing more than eye candy if her dark elf nature is just a costume instead of her culture, her gender, her entire being. I love these characters, but I don't believe they were created by sheer luck or a mere stroke of brilliance. Much of the groundwork was already laid for the writers, essentially. Let's not be so quick to discard the setting and its lore as if they were merely a backdrop, incidental to the game's success.>>585780080May Selûne light your path.
>>585784719pretty sure there are spells that can't miss, getting teleported into a barrel or a necro surface would hurt your toon
that post hurt to read so I stopped midway through
>>585784979Magic spells ignore dodge? I never heard that. The shield bounce seems to be a bug. Is it only character effect spells like charm or all spells including fire balls and whatnot? Because if they can't damage past my magic armor their effect spells won't work anyways so I'll just have to not use glass cannon.
