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

based alert

For me? It's Baldur's Gate 3 OST - Harpy Song.

>>528713358
jesus what an abomination

>>528713358
even more based alert

>>528714518
concept art laezel looked better

Is this really just a Shadowheart face? For the life of me, I can't see it. It's pretty, nonetheless.

>>528714758
Looks like a modder used her face as a base, but made some changes

>>528714618
it's a shame
creche got some cuties, but we got stuck with the toad

Karlach should have been a bimbo.

Shadowheart should have been a bimbo.

well she's a whore so...

Orin should have been a loli.

FACT, karlach and shadowheart would be way better if they had bigger titties.

Missionary with Astarion

Imagine how much better minthara would be with botox and a bbl.

>>528716110
shit I'd be fine with her looking female

Lae'zel would be a way better character if she had a Kim K ass and a vaginal rejuvenation.

They should have given lae'zel way bigger titties to make up for her looking like a alien frog.

will i meet Minthra again if i attacked her and knocked her out instead of killing her?

>>528716606
Yes.

Why does Listonomicon include subclasses from Pillars of Eternity and weapons from fucking Bleach and then state in the description that it only includes content that fits the source material?

>>528716895
Because larian heavily rips off pillars and anime.

>>528716717
I also stole all her clothes before leaving her unconscious body naked out in the open i hope she makes it

>>528717214
She used to show up at Moonrise naked if you took her clothes, no longer unfortunately.

>>528716895
Bad mod then?
Im always on the look out to replay BG3 with something new.

>>528717484
It's a mod list with 700 or so mods. You can just ignore things like this and it's pretty good.

>>528721008
>It's a mod list with 700 or so mods
Jesus, I cant imagine the compatibility errors I would get using that with my mods.

>>528721008
>700 or so

Any good martial class mods?
Most of the class mods I see are full caster or gish.

Karlach baited all the goblins out of their fort into an ambush. She faced the army while the other 3 were doing ranged from raised elevation (pussies). She is the best

Does Ethel's hair (strength) really work on wild shape forms? I can't test it myself due to honour mode.

>>528731845
Lemme test it, one sec

>>528731845
Looks like yes, but its not like owlbear has an odd number of strength to match it though.
And I am on tactician.

>>528732289
And to further follow up, according to the wiki 3 wildshapes do have odd number of STR.
The STR potion from the one drow lady and Astarion seems to work too, and thats straight 2 STR.

>>528731996
>>528732289
>>528732487
Thanks anon. I can always grab Resilient for the +1 (apparently that +1 also persists in Wild Shape) plus the vigour for +4 wild shape strength. The Mirror is a tossup as to whether I get the bonus but if I can get that I will be rolling in it.

>>528732669
Yeah, I guess you could take that after tavern brawler

sometimes I wonder about the noticers, if they ever look around at the state of this place, and larians reputation, and notice I was correct about it all. maybe by patch fifty seven it'll finally work

Screw this modded Sorcerer run, I always play that damn class. I'm respeccing into (reworked) Four Elements Monk.

Huh, I never expected Shart to grow this much on me. I started romancing her as a joke and then she turned into the kindest and sweetest girl ever.
And here I thought I'll be getting a turbocunt from EA.

>>528735634
Which rework are you running?
There is like four or five.

>>528737876
I liked EA shadowheart more disney princess shart is boring

>>528740069
Nah, the game has already too many evil companions and Shart being a kindhearted Disney princess forced into evil is actually a more interesting take than the unironic Sharran played straight.

>>528739752
This.
It's the only one available on console...

>>528740418
Ah, that one looks pretty good.

Anybody here playing tactical D&D mods?

It's really the ultimate challenge in the D&D realm. There is nothing else out there. No other game, definitely not the newest release, and no other Baldurs Gate 2 mod either. SCS simply doesn't cut it if you are looking for a challenge.
I uploaded a few videos here if anybody wants to have a taste, the mod is called Improved Anvil:

Shadowheart keeps changing her hairstyle during her sex scene and this truggers my autism.

>Slop & Hypocrisy
>None of the elements present in the game suggest that Astarion was ever sexually abused
>Being sexually abused is not the same as being used as a prostitute to attract hundreds of victims for your master.

/bgg/ will never lose its power.

>>528764575
idk hitting page 10 several times a day is usually an indicator that hitting page 11 forever is soon to follow
had a good run but the game's been abandoned

So I kicked him in the head until he was dead!
Nyahahaha.

>>528755105
Letting the spawns live is the most evil choice bar using the brain to kill everyone. It's funny that is not presented as such.

>>528764898
On the plus side, we only get to suffer the swine's insufferable ritual shitpost once every 3-4 days.

>Liarian skimmed over Astarion being a child kidnapping weirdo because it made people dislike him
Pussies

Migrate to /crpgg/ this place is deader than Shadowhearts sexlife when Halsin isnt around.

>admits he's still suffering from his own actions after over a year
looks like someone was bibberboned beyond salvation


>>528774304
over my dead body

Surely, posting obnoxious slop while your best friend Pea spams ugly screenshots on cooldown will revive the thread! Keep it up, piggy!

>talking to Karlach
>"other people don't have a heart like you"
well, duh that's exactly the whole point, dumb Fangs!

>>528776413
take me back to when I argued with the namefag for three days straight
it can't always be christmas eve...

>>528774304
Stop being mean to Shart.
I love her.

>>528779206
Very cute hairdo

>>528779206
Stop dressing her like a whore

oh Shaddy... why couldn't it just be me
why couldn't I be good enough for you
why did it have to the archdruid... Shaddy...

>>528779206
Her heart belongs to the bear, if you truly love her you must accept this.

>>528774304
No, this is your containment general, it must stay alive.

>>528779824
No.
She's actually my loyal tradwife whore, find yourself your own.
Yes, I know the game physics don't comprehend this particular hairstyle. She'll have to live with it.

>>528779206
i wish sloppers would just go back to play bethesdaslop

I wish people that call anything that they dislike slop would be lined up & shot

i see the copypasta spam poster is back

thoughts on the fact larian let you sacrifice Wyll

>>528789429
Is there any playstyle or setup where you would actually be consistently bleeding your targets to make the buff actually worthwhile?

>>528790303
well you see tigerheartlach next to me...

>>528787476
It's always weird how these sort of modern AU's reimagine Lae'zel as this wannabe inner city gangsta, when she's obviously a preppy military prodigy

>>528791732
pathetic attempt to make her less cringe

>>528790303
Tigerbarb.

>>528790303
>>528793714
Actually no, scratch that, Barbarians already have perma-advantage anyway due to reckless attack now that I think about it.

>>528793918
yeah but now with the blessing the rest of the team gets advantage once ack bleeds them

>prone kills concentration
>prone + fear skips turns
>Disarmed enemies don't pick up their weapons
>Surprised gives you an extra turn
Any other cheese I should know about?

My daily quest for this month's battlepass is to kill 10 enemies with fire spells, so I think I'll play a draconic sorc.

>>528795207
Dead enemies also skip their turns.

>>528796318
No they don't. They don't get turns and thus can't skip them.

>>528791732
i think people forget she's militaristic first and foremost then rebellious as the story plays out

>>528784104
like faggots that say THE GOAT, LET HIM COOK and RIZZ

W RIZZ aura farming maxxing

I'd be playing bg3 more often if we had a femboy bard companion

>>528801684
those terms are reserved for lae'zel since astarion is technically a boomer

>>528801131
Thats just gen z slang grandpa

>>528713241 (OP)
You should save the Grove, for Inwe.

I'm digging this Elementalist class mod.
Kinda want to do a run with a three person party with all subclasses.

>>528804496
Hot

>>528803796
What happened with my goth waifu?

Ok, I can see why people keep saying that Act 3 is a buggy mess.
Literally 5 seconds after I started Act 3 Jaheira had a banter with Shadowheart... about Viconia.
Because nobody at Larian bothered to lock this particular behind a quest flag, so Shadowheart happily decided to spoil the finale of her companion quest herself.

>>528810556
Never heard about this bug.

>>528810556
act 3 banter is broken, especially if you have wyll in your party

Imagine if the game weren't inherently designed with training wheels - no infinite long rests, no unlimited respecs, no free revives from Withers, and so on.

>>528810896
minthara used to have a similar bug 6 months ago, she used to reveal that emperor was in fact balduran in act 2

>>528810896
I think it some of Shart's triggers were broken when they fixed the romance dialogues in the most recent patch.
I reloaded a save after Shart's sex scene (Selunite) and received Lae'zel banter from the Sharran route.

Missionary with Astarion

>>528812601
based

>Shadowheart? Sh... Shaddy...?
>wh-why do you um, taste like goodberry...?

Does Shar approve of me respecing Shadowheart into the best domain in the game(tempest)?

>>528813962
Shar literally doesn't give a fuck about her, so do whatever.

>>528812601
show feet

>>528813962
Cleric is a cringe unnecessary class. Make her a Shadow Monk or a Shadow Sorcerer (With Hexblade Pact Weapon Shadow Blade)

>>528813962
Shar cares a fuckton about Shadowheart. Lets her live rent-free in her head but at the same time can't do too much about it. So do whatever.

>>528814745
shar not giving a fuck about the cult & viconia grooming tons of people into sharrans to get her to notice her would have been a way better plot twist than shart being brainwashed or viconia being in the game period lol I don't like what they did with shar in this game I don't think john is smart enough to write such a major character

>>528816000

>>528818521
Stupid bipedal

>>528819212
You are beneath me

>>528810556
The definition edition will fix Act 3. You'll see. Just wait for the definitive edition. It'll be announced any day now...

>>528819812
>muh definitive edition
I don't know why you keep obsessing about a definitive edition. Larian keeps putting out fixes and patches and all you care about is getting early EOS. Pretty retarded of you.

at least you shaved this time

>>528820396
yeah I checked this time lol

>>528818521
weird....

>>528821667
literally me browsing /bgg/

The urge to give my (reworked) Four Elements monk blue body tattoos is strong.

What does goodberry pie taste like?

>>528833329
Heaven

imp is so good, i use him to scout ahead invisibly everything so i dont fall into any traps and then get a Surprise attack easily every time with everyone in position, pretty sure he has saved my Honour run a couple of times

but the spawns are..... le innocent!!!

>>528835790
sweet baby boy never done anything wrong in his life

>>528713241 (OP)
She's the only good character.

>>528818521
this better be female feet

>>528837692
Astarion's life is one long streak of doing everything wrong at every step of the way. They rewrote his backstory and made it more unclear, but even the final version hints that he was a corrupt magistrate who pissed off enough people that he eventually became a target. He was, and remains, an awful and evil person in a city full of awful, evil people.

is it worth it to pick Haste as level 5 sorc? i +1 action is should be strong but then you lose half your level 3 spell slots which are by far the strongest, i reckon it will get much stronger at later levels when you have more spell slots to spend

>>528843578
TWINNED
HASTE
FUNNELED
INTO
LAE'ZEL

>>528843578
Haste is one of the best spells on sorcerer because you can double the actions of 2 heroes. Cast it on yourself and the other DPS and it will be worth it, just be wary of any stuns or attacks that might break your concentration

>>528845286
Sorry for level 5 sorcerer, yes, but I was fine with speed potions and solo nuking with a storm sorcerer. I had call lightning and conserved spell slots that way and I don’t like playing quasi-utility heroes, even if dual casting haste is technically more efficient

>>528840764
astarion tits in my mouth

men that like karlach: pro anal, stay at home, and unironically trans. 50 IQ
women that like astarion: hairy legged, stay at home, and have never heard of a nail clipper. 40 IQ

Funny what that faggot considers on and off topic isn't it. You talk about a character from baldur's gate 3 and it's this big scandal, you post some faggot's feet like it's /b/ and no big deal at all. Really gets the wheels spinning.

>>528848801
he'll probably off himself once /bgg/ dies

First time playing dnd related game, is paladin aura supposed to be this tiny? It's only 3m and feels like no one gets the effect unless they're directly on my ass

>>528850562
its lame

>game has a hidden difficulty setting

>>528850562
It's the same radius as in tabletop. The radius is limited because the effect is so powerful. That being said, it does get value if you have a melee-heavy team.

Does Appearance Edit Enhanced still do that annoying thing of constantly moving it's ability shortcuts around your hotbar?

>>528850562
It's technically a bit smaller than in tabletop because of the way they adapted distances but even then it's really meant to be more of a personal buff and only extend out a very short distance until much higher level when it gets much bigger.

Is the three attacks for paladin + warlock fixed?

>>528856873
Havent seen that at all and I have been using that mod.

>>528858896
yeah

>>528858896
afaik in honour mode only. It still stacks in tactician or below or so I hear. I only play honour mode.

>>528860968
whoops

>>528858896
Only in honour difficulty. All the gamebreaking bullshit still flies on tactician and lower.

It seems to me that tavern brawler is just a worse version of Arcane Synergy since BB was added.

>>528860968
>>528861714
Hmm, not sure what's happening then since I can only make one extra attack playing on tactician :(

>>528791732
Would corpo Lae'zel help Hanako, get Rogue's help, become a NUSA sleeper agent, or make a suicide run for Mikoshi?

>>528864517
You sure you took pact of the blade and not just hexblade?

>evil durge playthrough

>>528868778

>tfw you realize the whole main quest in BG3 would a Cult of the Unseeing Eye-tier sidequest in BG2 that CHARNAME clears off because he needs money for a new robe.
I miss CHARNAME.

>>528872869
Inversely, killing Sarevok is actually a side quest for Tav.

>>528873235
That lame duck wasn't Sarevok.

>>528864612
Corpo Lae'zel is Goro Takemaura but instead of being an old, beat up, loyal dog, she's a loyal dog who can change her path. So either help Hanako or Suicide Run depending on how much information she's given about the vampire lords of Alpha Centarui.

reminder

>watching Honor Among Thieves
>the Underdark is horribly dangerous
Do you feel that way about the game's portion of the Underdark?
The bulette, the duergar, bibberbang, torchstalk, hook horrors, minotaurs. That's without encountering drow.

>>528911579

fell to my death in the prison section of the house of hope and it wasn't from the imps.
I flew over to get close to one of the spectators which triggered its ray which missed but the act of the game checking whether it hit or not cancelled my flight while I was right over the edge and I plunged to my doom.

worst part is I had a feeling before trying that the ray might cause fuckery mid flight but did it anyway.

>>528911579
>That's without encountering drow
>implying

>>528911579
First time in honour mode encountering the bullete at lvl 4 was pure horror. I absolutely recommend entering the Underdark underleveled. It changes the experience significantly.
>>528911913
Baelen was my first real BG3 moment and probably the last as in my first playthrough I cleared the myconid colony without really exploring it and when I was looting corpses his wife attacked me for stealing. So I, naturally I killed her without ever speaking to her. When I freed him I did so because I really wanted to see what will happen if he returns and finds his wife dead. Seeing that retard crying his eyes out over his wifes body(that I killed) actually made me feel things. Second playthrough I decided I should reunite them but then I talked to her. They are both better dead.

>>528912573
this reminds me of what the rogue does in FHJY. He kills someone just like that basically.

>>528912885
Nere doesn't count, he's there per the cult. So are the duergar, but they're behaving as they would for any other expedition, because half of them aren't sworn to the cult.

>>528911579
it was alright

Larian really did create one of the most addictive single player RPGs of all time. Then they did it again with BG3.

>>528917053
third time's the charm

>>528911579
They did a pretty good job at showcasing some of the flora and fauna, but a place can't be that dangerous if a couple of mushroom pickers can set up shop down there.

>>528713241 (OP)
any mods to beautify this post-wall hag?

>>528860968
>>528861714
>>528865886
Huh I tried on my tactician game and it also seems to be fixed for me too (only 2 attacks). Is anyone able to do 3?

>>528911579
BG3's take on the Underdark was fun to explore and play through but it really REALLY didn't feel like what the real D&D Underdark is supposed to be like. BG2 portrayed that a lot better with just how dangerous it is down there and how fucked up all the things that live down there are. BG3 feels especially lame in how it makes all the (few) Drow you encounter in the Underdark act more like pompous clowns than actually threatening evil sadistic Lolth worshippers.

>>528921702
It's more like a preview of the Underdark. They obviously couldn't include the more dangerous stuff, since you're probably only around level 5-7 for most of it, and it's technically optional.

>>528921702

You could dip spore druid for some extra necrotic damage on your attacks.

>>528939491
Or death cleric for their Channel Divinity: Touch of Death, but if you are not getting to level 6 cleric it would be worse than spore druid.

>>528938348

>>528928697
You just described a Bard.

>>528928697
You just described a DEX-based (high Stealth) Elf or Drow (natural Perception proficiency) Paladin (high CHA and Persuasion). Either Oath of the Ancients or Oath of Vengeance for Misty Step mobility.

what do you mean

>>528965241
I'm not looking for half-illithid, I am trying to find a mod that changes the baby-faced monstrosity that is a Tav/Karlach illithid.

>>528953570
lmao this is based.

>>528965775
if you're already level 5 literally nothing in the wilderness area will be a challenge any longer.

>>528966093
good thing i am not such a fool to fall for something so obvious

i actually brought laezel to talk with them first but i sensed something fishy so i kept the party disengaged to be able to flee when things went south, came back later with advantage

>>528970123
You should stream instead.

>>528969457
>if you're already level 5 literally nothing in the wilderness area will be a challenge any longer.
pretty much cleared the whole map to get to level 5, only leaving out the bosses for last to fight with safety

Bitch, you were literally re-born yesterday, of course you have a baby face.

>>528971517
I do, but nobody gives a fuck about my baldur's gate streams. They only seem to want to watch just chatting or hitman lately. But I like Baldur's Gate more than both of those and hardly anywhere to talk about it since I got banned from the Larian discord

>>528973075
>since I got banned from the Larian discord
Give me the details, did you shit post too hard?

>>528973314
I called the mods of the server lazy because they were letting transphobic comments about another user in the server run wild and they banned me for that. I think I also told the person making the pointed comments to kill themselves, I'm not totally sure what precisely got me banned but I've hated the mods of that server and argued with them on and off for like over a year before I got banned

Fortunately I can tell people to kill themselves when I disagree with them on this website all day long and face no meaningful repercussions for it.

>>528973805
They banned you for spamming screenshots

>>528974135
I have literally posted zero screenshots in the larian discord because it's not an imageboard unlike 4channel . com

Embrace Durge is so much fun.

>>528973805
>they were letting transphobic comments
Based. I always get banned for casual racism.

Does this game have any decent mods that are taken off Nexus? Also suggest me mods in general. I got most of the QoL stuff as well as Shart fixes.

>>528977417
For me its mostly spell and class mods.
Like Mystra's spells and Elementalist class

>>528975812
I think it was probably because I was so aggressive towards the janitors.

"creche" means daycare center in portuguese

>>528979271
>we must make our way to the daycare, where my people will give us handi-snacks

>>528971998
It's ugly as sin though, I can't seem to find a mod that makes you look like a regular illithid. All of them are just playable race mods.

>>528980598
Yeah, I kinda doubt anyone would make a mod for that, since its such a small portion of the game.

>>528980674
I guess this is the price for wanting to be an illithid. Partial illithid gets a pass because it would impede people's characters, but the full transformation means you're past caring about how your character looks. Or at least, that's how it is for everyone else.

>>528975952

Dryads are immune to Madness, use the Abyss Beckoner gloves.

Why is the default class for durge Storm Sorcercer? Shouldn't he be an assasin or a death cleric or some such?

>>529008456
Well, Durge is technically an origin and there already is a rogue and cleric companion.
Cleric would also be iffy because you are initially not aware of being a Bhaalspawn / Bhaalist, so that would be difficult to work with.

As Sorcerers also get their powers from their bloodline, it makes sense that you have special powers because Durge was recreated from Bhaal's flesh.
But yeah, Gortash keeps calling Durge his favorite assassin and whatnot and being a previous Bhaalist, it would make sense to be a class that is more closely related to murder.

>>529011042
>Cleric would also be iffy because you are initially not aware of being a Bhaalspawn / Bhaalist, so that would be difficult to work with.
Baldur's Gate 1/2 had zero issues with it.

>>529014916
>Baldur's Gate 1/2 had zero issues with it.
Yeah but in those games, the main character wasn't the Chosen of Bhaal at some point before the game.

Which is sort of the crux, if you want to be "consistent" with Durge pre Amnesia, it has to be Bhaal related.

>>529011042
>>529016848
It doesn't really matter. You don't have to wield a dagger and hide in the shadows to be an assassin. Just kill quickly without being caught, and a high level storm sorcerer can do that easily.

>>529008456
You're being too literal. The Dark Urge is simply a natural-born killer, and knowing how to kill (eviscerate) is not something exclusive to one Rogue subclass. This reminds me of a silly back-and-forth Mintharafag once had with an anon who argued that, since Minthara explicitly used the word "vengeance" when referring to her oath, she could only have sworn an Oath of Vengeance and not another. As if Minsc can only be a Beast Master because he has a rodent as a pet. As if Jaheira can only be a pure Druid because she was taken in by a circle when she was young. She was a Fighter/Druid in BG2, by the way. A class supports the narrative role of a character, not the other way around - you don't have to start with the Assassin class to try to imagine a conflicted or remorseless killer. Classes are not straitjackets that confine you to an archetype.

>>529011042
Sorcerer makes sense enough, should've been the new shadow sorcerer from the start. Tie in the act 2 darkness with Durge gives him a reason for being at the towers.

I want a monk build but everything online is just about abusing potions to raise Strength, is there a good monk build that I can use that doesn't rely on potions?

>>529026514
Of course, mostly follow those builds but focus more on Dex and don't pick TB. It obviously will be completely and utterly dwarfed by an actual TB Monk, but it still should be a viable middle of the road character, and a TB Monk breaks the game so much that it arguably makes it less enjoyable. Anyway farming Elixirs of Strenght Is extremely effortless and you can build a stock that will last you the entire game in 10 minutes, if you decide to go that way.

>>529026514
A monk without STR elixirs is just basically a typical DEX fighter.

The only alternative I can think of is the fire snakes build which might require INT? but still use DEX as the primary.

>>529019067
Storm Sorcerers leave behind charred remains. That's is pretty far from Durges MO as shown in the game. He prefers pretty bodies and a more bloody, hand on aproach.

Hatstarion

>>529046671

>>529046809
What happens to Arabella, the kid of Harpies, Kagha, etc?

>>529046671
Very good question, I will try this

>>529047119
>we was running, for our lives

>>529047306
Yknow, I'm actually not too sure about arabella or the harpy kid. Kagha would probably just resolve normally. Without Halsin she still thanks you for getting the tieflings tf out. I feel like the harpies and the kid disappear if you kill the goblin leaders before resolving the situation but arabella is an unknown for me.

Want to do an Astarion Origin run but have a few questions:
>who is a good romance option if I plan on ascending? Minthara and God Gale both seem fitting, but Arch Duke Wyll would also be a very good person to be close with.
>if I were to respec Astarion into another class that is more undead/vampire themed, would Necromancer Wizard or Oathbreaker Paladin be a better option? I want to be a powerful vampire lord, like Strahd.

>>529050129
Astarion is too much of a whiny bottom bitch to ever be a
>powerful vampire lord, like Strahd.

>>529051045

>>529051419
wildshape has a lot of annoying and dumbass bugs with it. the gloves will stop working when you shift but apparently you can force a bug to make them work again in wildshape by saving and reloading, per https://bg3.wiki/wiki/List_of_features_that_work_in_Wild_Shape#Equipment_2

>>529050129
I would not spec him into wizard unless it was bladesinger because the primary bonus of his vampire ascension rides off of weapon attacks. oathbreaker would let you have zombies pals following you around but if you ascend you get a whole fuckload of undead guys to summon vs the brain anyways.

Started my first honor mode run, was talking to the ogres and accidentally pressed 2 instead of 1, causing the ogres to agro me. I think this run is done.

>>529054594
Better to lose in act 1 than act 3 imo

>>529054594
Same happened with me at the wizard tower, but i could escape.

So I hear you can tell Minthara about the grove, let her leave, then kill the rest of the goblins and still do the grove defense?
Anything special to do or is it as simple as it seems?

>>529055693

I was trying to dash away, but the loss of the ogre horn is greater than anything. If I can de-agro the ogres, will they let me attempt another dialogue to obtain the horn? I already lost the owlbear cub, unfortunately, losing the horn will make me restart.

While we're talking about Wild Shape, it says in that page that all elixir and potions work as intended. But what about spells that provide the same effect as an elixir, like Freedom of Movement? Or buffs like Warding Bond or Death Ward? The only thing that page has to say about spells is that "you can't cast spells while wild shaped". The common sense answer tells me "yes it would work", but nothing about Wild Shape interactions seems to follow common sense to me.

I could go for a bg3 playthrough but then I remember that I dislike most of the companions & don't enjoy the story

>>529057790
warding bond and freedom of movement i would assume work normally but who knows, death ward though i think ends up being useless since when your wild shape reaches 0 it "dies" but you still have your full human health underneath so it doesn't bump your wildshape back up with one, i think it burns the buff without actually doing anything when you lose wildshape. it's a shame because i like moon druid but wildshape feels too buggy and fucked up for me to play often. especially on honor where you can't fuck around with different saves as easily.

Any tips for Honor mode as a sorcerer? The lack of carry weight and low HP was seriously giving me a headache.

>>529065007
Like solo?
Otherwise just bring a barb.

>>529065007
Personally I just modded out carry weight after my third run or something.
Its just not a fun mechanic.

Lawful good women are my favorite

Didn't need the horn in my run. You only need it if you aggro the githyanki.

well which one is it retards you can't have it both ways

Just romance karlach or lae'zel instead if it bothers you that much

I am a paladin. What should Minthara respec to? Beastmaster with the giant spider?

>>529082075
bard since she is the funniest drow you know

>>529082075
>>529082131
I'm having the same dilemma because I already made Lae'zel a paladin. I think Minthara will be either a barbarian or a monk but idk bard is a pretty funny choice. Only problem is I already did a playthrough on glamour bard and i just wanna play new classes

If you like BG3 enough that you want to try playing Larian’s earlier games, don’t. DOS2 ruined BG3 for me, because it made me see that BG3 is literally just DOS2 reskinned with a mocap budget. It has the same bugs, the same story structure, the same subplots, the same inventory system, the same characters, the same animations and sprites and everything. They learned nothing in seven years and BG3 only blew up because it had D&D branding and a gooner AO3 mocap VN minigame.

>>529100271
i had the same experience but with WOTR. people recommended it after BG3 and holy shit what a steaming pile of shit

>>529098585
This happened to me on my very first playthrough. All I can say is work to map out the ENTIRE ZONE instead of just going wherever you feel like and ignoring everywhere else. It's the best way to find all the content the game has to offer.

If I don't take Tavern Brawler for a Giant Throw Barb, is it more balanced/less broken?

>>529100271
then why are you here if you don't like larian games

>>529099119
>>529099346
>>529102151
yeah i went to the beginning area then remembered i had avoided the purple portal (i was scared) and came back to it

>>529100547
They’re just…the same game. You start as a prisoner in a ship that crashes, and wake up on a beach with your powers gone. You find your companions, most of whom are one-to-one with a BG3 companion or major NPC in their mannerisms and issues. You have to fight a witch/hag in her lair, go through a tomb, help refugees in a grove led by a lawful good paladin. Go to the middle act, where you have to go through a series of challenges in an ancient place to get the boon of an evil god. Go to the last area, the big city. Fight the immortal doctor in a spooky run down house of healing with kooky nurses. Fight the evil people shipping suspicious barrels. Talk to the cute paramilitary birds. Explore the sewers. Enjoy the flavorful town crier boy and the fantasy racism. Make a deal with the devil. Power up enough to fight the netherbra— sorry, the god king.
It’s the same fucking game.

>>529103967
To warn you, because without the framework of D&D forcing their world to be coherent, the next game is going to make Veilguard look like Shakespeare

bg3's a bigger better written dos2 which was a bigger better written dos1, all larian games are zany & edgy whenever they try to be deep, it's part of their charm i m o & shouldn't be considered a bad thing, that's like complaining about the latest fromsoftware game having a cryptic story or a legendary hero that got corrupted by the thing he swore to destroy, I definitely think that larian can't write a story for the life of them as long as they keep the retards in charge of the writing team as lead writers but claiming that larian didn't learn a lot from dos2 is objectively wrong

>>529105445
I also dislike fromsoftware because they don’t have a story at all; if I wanted muscle memory bullshit with zero narrative I’d play DDR.

Lae'zel is love.
Lae'zel is life.

Lae'zel might've done some things wrong, but she's still a beautiful person inside and out.

>>529104528
I ignored your first post because it read like bait to me. You went through the effort of actually listing similarities with this post - unfortunately, most of them are surface-level, or merely what we call tropes, or genre conventions. The rest of them can be chalked up to Larian's brand of quirkiness, or easter eggs. A signature or recurring element does not mean a work merely is a copy of another. I'd be like saying that Path of Exile is BG3 in ARPG form, given how much of your list actually does apply for that story as well. You wake on up a beach after a shipwreck. The first act boss is a sea witch in her lair. You explore ancient tombs and other long-forgotten places of corruption. You help various exiles and refugees who are all guided by a wise leader. You go through a series of challenges to earn the boons of several gods. There are two divine sisters locked in an eternal conflict. The grand finale takes place in the major city from where you were exiled, where you face the Ancient Awoken Evil, of course. The FromSoft comparison from that anon above is apt - you wouldn't say Demon's Souls is Dark Souls is Bloodborne is Elden Ring. Even though the similarities and recurring themes are undeniable.

Baldurs gate 4 bros, it's over....

>>529112847
looks like a high quality thought provoking video

>>529112119
Yeah but everything else is also the same. Down to how when looting there’s an object called “box” that when you click on it sometimes opens to have things inside, and sometimes dumps the useless heavy empty box into your inventory. Down to the intonation and direction given to the VAs. Down to little out of the way nooks having two skeletons cuddling with a sad note next to them. It’s the same at the micro level and the macro level.

Both games are frontloaded, both begin in a forested/beach area and end in a city, all of the companion arcs are the same. It’s obvious they didn’t “reinvent the wheel” when converting dosII into a high budget WEG. It isn’t fair to compare either game to Fromsoft because Fromsoft games are original. All Larian did was pull from WOTR and DnD to make their games. And btw, dosI would be Demon’s Souls. Except Demon’s Souls is playable, not an unplayable prototype dosII with poor humor and the most boring exploration mechanic I have ever seen in a game

>AI slop out of nowhere

Ofcourse this general would consider DOSII worse than BG3 since most people here only care about dressing up their dollies and making them kiss. In the real world DOSII is superior to BG3 in every way other than production values. BG3s gameplay is in most ways a step back for larians formula(fucking 5e) and the story although bigger and presented better is actually worse in every conceivable way.

does ANYTHING come close to beating out shadow blade? every time i find a new weapon my excitement is immediately killed because everything is just shit in comparison and im close to level 9 so its gonna get an even higher damage boost, its honestly kind of lame. the charge bound warhammer seems good especially with GWM but im not even sure if thats better

>>529116604
I mean, shadow blade is half or more of the reason to go hexblade or bladesinger to begin with.

>>529100271
BG3 doesn't have Barrelmancy. We have a handful of gimped explosive barrels and that's it. It will never compare to DOS2.

>>529116604
>cdoes ANYTHING come close to beating out shadow blade?
No. But the main problem is resonance stone not the spell itself.

>>529116157
bg3's objectively a bigger, better written & more polished game than dos2 but I enjoyed dos2 more

>Get frog, shart and karlach in party
>Can't pick between shart and karlach
frog is ugly
shart is a whore
karlach is ugly

>>529119151
BG3 it's not better written. It has more "story" as in more words in the script but in it's whole is an incoherent unstructured mess. DOSII isn't pure cinema but the smaller story and more tongue in cheek tone of the setting make it a far more enjoyable. The rest you mention is just production values. Hasbro money.

>>529116604
it's completely broken with the resonance stone.
the closest build to it before this update was probably a critical build with the bhaalist armour.

>>529119158
what about wyll

>>529116604
Nyrulna+GWM+Bhaalist is comparable, except for that not really, those are the BIS setups for a melee user.

>>529121375
Is that really comparable if you consider splashing in two levels of paladin to a bladesinger or hexblade?

>>529121375
>Nyrulna
Didn't know about this weapon. TB thrower tempest cleric anyone?

>>529122371
Nifty, but a fighter or barb could do better.
Weapon is kinda well hidden, no surprise you havent seen it.

>>529122319
That setup is class agnostic tough, everyone with a martial weapons proficency can do it, including Paladins and full Fighters that can attack thrice.
>>529122371
I consider it the best melee weapon in the game since it's the best weapon that benefits from Bhaalist, Shar's spear is also up there but I found it annoying to use. Also can be acquired as soon as you enter act 3 wich is cool.

>>529122535
Best melee weapon after SB you mean.

>>529122535
>That setup is class agnostic tough
I suppose, but if I go for that set up its almost always going to have 7 levels of rogue and 5 of some extra attack class.
Want to see that doubled sneak attacks damage

>>529122496
Well I think a tempest cleric 6/ Giant Barbarian 6 would be sweet with this weapon. A thunder titan build. Typhon.

>>529122652
Piercing+Bhaalist setups are the only ones that can go toe to toe with SB, expecially if you can slap other sources of piercing damage that don't work with SB like GWM or Sneak Attack on top of it.
>>529122697
I'm actually running a Swashbuckler 7/Champion 5 character right now, Crimson Mischief (with perma advantage), Bhaalist, Savage Attacker, and some crit range items. On a crit (wich on 3 attacks per turn is almost garanteed), the Sneak reaction ALONE (without the attack that caused it) does around 70.

Is it too late to start the Lae'zel romance after the tiefling party? I accidentally got her approval too low for her to want to sleep with me that night.

>>529050129
What about a shadow monk or tiger heart barbarian? With shadow monk he could be super fast and strike from the shadows, and tiger barbarian is all about making people bleed.

>>529127697
Should be fine as long as you didn't start a romance with two other companions.

You have to agree with them after you destroy the eye.

seems they all became hostile after walking over a fire surface that i created when throwing the Alchemist`s fire to detonate the Smokepowder satchel. thought that was the way to do it

He's mistaken, Thrinn is the one that always runs up and into the fire, thus triggering combat with everyone before the Nere cutscene begins

The one mod I will be using in every game from this point forward is the Kagha mod which lets me murder children.
The grove's shitstains won't be walking free if I have anything to say about it.
Except for Mattis, we're good.

I wonder how pissed off Swendler was when Owlcat annoucned their next game? A much better studio is **ALSO** making a sci-fi CRPG...only it's in a much better, more thought out setting than anything his team of AO3 gooners has ever come up with, so he's looking at launching his next early access scam against a similar game that will actually work, actually come out, and actually be good beyond just a single sex scene cutscene that they advertise everywhere as though it represents the final product...I don't know, seems like something that would really mess your hair if you had any.

Well, maybe this game will finally be finished by patch 11 or 12, five years later.

>>529202096
>A much better studio

>>529202096
He is definitely seething that they didnt get to milk their cashgrab with DLCs and expansion packs

I never talk about act 3, I've never played this cultural vandalism game and I never will. My posts are centered around the absurdity of Liarian's actions, their multitude of sweat shop studios, their unwillingness to sell what is bought, and their violations of labor and immigration law and probable bank/loan fraud. That's why they rushed the game out a month early despite being unfinished by the way if you remember that, maybe it's not written on your script today. They were floating on debt, someone wanted to collect, and Liaran realized they'd actually have to release something and couldn't just sell early access vapor ware for another decade. So we got unfinished and buggy soap opera propaganda for masturbation lords to fawn over, released so early that you're a hundred patches in and still talking about bugs and unfinished content. There's your hero studio, there's your game of the year. They represent a cancer strangling gaming.

I'm spelling it exactly as I mean to. They're LIARian. French fraudsters selling snake oil and old shoes and calling it a game.

seething

Your AI is supposed to train on my posts, not reproduce them word for word.

>>529207549
I always forget that there is a broken bridge you can use to get in, what happens if you go in this way? Seems like something they should have a contingency for, but you never know. There is no plan for taking the broken side bridge into Moonrise, you get teleported back to the front for a conversation with Mizora before teleporting back to where you were, and there is no plan for if you kill the torturers before they get to see Minthara.

Ok, I'll admit. I was thinking about the gayness of the game, I can ignore if it's some kind of minor european quirk but the trailers make it seem like it's everywhere.

>>529218050
>gayness of the game
you can literally kill all the gays in the game unlike skyrim/starfield

>>529218050
Companions are all player-sexual. Over the course of the game you'll likely raise all of their opinion high enough to where they want to fuck you, just tell them no once and your good. If it is too offensive you can kill them. There is a faction of Deep Gnomes where it seems like every other one is gay, but aside from it being noticeable it doesn't have any effect on anything and if you want you can kill them.

>>529218050
There IS a lot of gayness (outside of the playersexual stuff mentioned by >>529218242) but like >>529218157 said there is also a lot of way to kill the gays. You can kill gays, minorities, and basically anyone who annoys you. Except children. You need a mod to kill children, much like in Skyrim.

>kill the gays and the ghaik
LAE'ZEL YES

>>529218443
>Except children. You need a mod to kill children, much like in Skyrim.
Except the Goblin children, for some reason genociding them is okay. And other NPCs can target them as well.

>>529218583
Probably because they are "inherently evil" or something. It's a shame that apparently evil races are being gutted in DnD. Apparently it's not okay for some sentients to simply have a culture that runs contrary to the world's. That's a real shame.

>inherently evil

I'm happy the player have total freedom to do what he wants but I was more talking about simbolism and stuff... like gay shit being thrown at you all the time as a good and brave thing.
Btw I just bought the game lol... guess I'll find out.

>>529219828
Nah, if anything they just wanted to "normalize" it by including it and never mentioning it. There is some recurring stuff with the Tiefling refugees and how they're discriminated against for literally being mutated by the magics of Avernus (Hell)

>>529220079
>>529219828
It's not quite about the GAYS but if you are the type to read books and other side text in the game there is one very late game mention of something in that vein.

>>529207483
it's not a mod, i disarm ketheric, threw the spear of shar at him and he picked it up and is using it

>>529199245
Now she looks like something from Underdark.

the real way to be inclusive is to add homos and the like but dont make any fanfare about them existing

>>529226024
I almost never romance the frog so I'm trying it out this time. Sharran Shadowheart, Ascendant Astarion, Lae'zel wife. But I wish I had room for Minthara.

this but laezel's she has way more range

should i do everything in moonrise before doing the shadowfell shit or what? will i still be able to free the prisoners?

>>529231650
Free the prisoners first

>>529231650
Shadowfell ends most of the quests on the world. Do it last.

>>529218583
Goblins are pests and should be systematically exterminated much like gipsies, goblin children are no exception because goblins should not reproduce in the first place.

I swear if she wasn't one hot piece of ass I'd replace her in my party with Minthara, aka someone who will actually appreciate my depravity.

>>529237710
>aka someone who will actually appreciate my depravity.

if you have disadvantage and advantage from different sources do they cancel out or does one take priority?
what if you have more of one than the other? does the one with more sources win out?

>>529238535
The frog and the fag are both in my party already. Shadowheart is just here as eye candy. I was planning on making her the Sharran leader but I think she is still too nice for this group even when she's worshipping Shar. I suppose after the Shadowfell I'll just replace her with Minthara.
>>529238658
I know that if you have one of each they cancel out. No clue about multiple, though.

>"Yiii yiyiyiha ha-haHAAA haha"

I finally figured out how to make the upgrade item spawn properly where I wanted it to.

>>529238658
>>529238696
Advantage and Disadvantage is binary. They cancel each other out no matter the amount of sources.
If you have 1x Disadvantage and 10x Advantage effects, the roll happens normally without Advantage.

Is there something I can do to break a party member's oath that doesn't involve unique interactions? (like talking to an NPC or making a choice)
Like could I just take Devotion and kill a party member and have it break my oath?

>>528713241 (OP)
>4 days and 8 hours ago
>642 replies
grim

>>529246215
The good guy oaths get broken if you do something like ambush-kill a person who isn't an enemy.

Like when I lie my way through the Grymforge, and the guards have their back to me, if I initiate an attack and kill them, the oath gets broken because you had no Good(TM) reason to kill them. I don't thinking a party member works but if you want to break it early, you can probably do it to a goblin and break it that way.

>>529216530
that sort of modding culture is long dead, thank nexus

>>529216530
they only released a gimped toolkit, wizards wouldnt let them release the full thing. also I assume it's much harder to make mods with highly sophisticated engines like this than what NWN had

>>529250354
>wizards wouldnt let them release the full thing
[citation needed]

Larian already said before that because nobody made shit for DOS2 which had a full campaign editor, they didn't care to make one for BG3. Nothing to do with wizards.

>>529246215
Killing the caged goblin in the goblin camp sanctum area in act 1 (the one that won't convert to the cult) will break your oath if you're Chivalry. For some reason. I guess because he's caged and unarmed?

>>529247632
>>529252016
That tip about the ambush kill helped, thanks. I'm near the end of Act 2 and it's Minthara's oath I want to break so I had her kill the pilgrim hiding in the corner of the blood merchant's room and it broke her oath of the ancients.

>>529252780
I thought Minthara was Oath of Vengeance.

>>529252903
I changed her oath because of what >>529247632 said. I've never done Oathbreaker before and it's notoriously hard to screw up an Oath of Vengeance so Ancients seemed like the easiest to break.

>>529253014
Oh I see, I get it now.

Well, congrats on getting your oath broken.

>boss can push me off into a death zone
>when i do it to them they just warp back as if it never happened
bad game design

>>529257267
surprised they didn't make bosses immune to barrels

Is there even a good non-meta, in-game reason why my good paladin would recruit Minthara instead of killing her? To make matters worse he's Vengeance as well. I know that Larian never intended for her to be recruited in a good playthrough alongside Halsin before Patch 5.
Maybe I should recruit her in a planned Drow evil playthrough instead?

>>529259823
>he's Vengeance
>he

>>529260127
No I meant my character is vengeance lol. I do find Minthara very average (especially for a drow), but I don't imply she's a tranny or something.

>>529260490
Average for Drow is beautiful. Minthara is ugly by any standard

>>529260490
alls good, Minthara is not well...she should smile more

>>529257267
Sucks when even the mind flayer mook in the Myrkul fight gets chasm protection. You can argue bosses are special but not that mook!

If I'm going for an edgy drow dual-wielding fighter with a tinge of gish, should I go for a gloomstalker or eldritch knight? I am leaning towards DEX-based EK, but I've heard gloomstalker is cool as well.

>>529261380
What is even a point of Charm? In BG 1/2, it was a very OP spell that turned the enemy into an ally. In BG 3 it does... something?

>>529263392
I don't know man, I'm just here to complain about the mind flayer mook having chasm protection.

>>529263264
>dual-wielding
sucks without modding

>>528713241 (OP)
I tried three times to play this game. I tried to enjoy it, I really did. But it just nauseates me.

The original BG saga was incredible. This just feels like shallow fanservice over some 5e abortion, full of shitty characters, infuriating retcons, and queer Marxist gnomes.
I won't ever forgive them for what they did to Sarevok.

>>529259823
She is evil, but did everything under the control of the netherbrain. Maybe this can justify her rescue.

>I tried three times to play this game. I tried to enjoy it, I really did. But it just nauseates me.

>>529263847
Even with Savage Attacker?

>>529264014
I prefer real turn based combat to the "live" combat of 1/2, but to each their own.

>browsing through a bookshelf
>it's red, but nobody's around
>suddenly an NPC is running from the other side of the map
>makes a beeline for me
>"thief!"
I understand that stealing on the level of Fallout 1 and 2 would be a little overpowered. But I feel like there could've been a middle ground. In BG3 NPCs are become instantly aware when things go missing, and they instantly look for you and you alone to point the finger at.

>>529266801
I hate this as well. It's like they couldn't figure out how to make it feel organic. Like, as an example, in the grove the druid seller could suspect tieflings of stealing and raise up a storm with them. Instead it's a system to punish the player rather than a system to make the world feel lived in.

>>529264385
Savage Attacker is only good if you toss a ton of dices, mainly Paladins with Smites, Rogues with Sneaks and Shadow Blade users, it does very little if all you're doing is stab with 2 1d6 sadsticks.

There's a longsword, mace and scimitar mould. They're all fucking awful weapons but you could conceivably take the longsword for your great weapon master as a dedicated door/chest breaking tool

Can I slaughter all the goblins in the blighted village without the goblin camp going hostile? Been a while since I played.

>>529281290
Yes, you can. You can even slay Priestess Gut without aggroing anyone if you close the door to her room, surround her (so she can't run away) and drop a Silence beforehand
