>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.

Missionary with Astarion

>>531134907
Thank you, we can pack up and go home now.

Wait a minute, you don't even need to keep wearing the Warding Bond ring after casting it?

Why doesn't Shadowheart's portrait change to reflect her white hair when she gets it like Wyll's portrait?

>>531139304
They couldn't even get her hair to stay white for the cutscenes, I don't think the portraits were a priority.
Funny the way those work though. I was surprised that they actually updated when I used a mod to change their appearance to whatever I want at the magic mirror.

>>531140925
I wish the portrait system was better all around.
Let me use custom portraits, or let me use photo mode to take one.

>>531139304
bugged

As Halsin and Shadowheart fall deeper for each other, he takes the lead as the MC running the party. His team rarely includes you so most of the game is sitting at camp with Gale and the pets and Withers asking about your relationship.
Cut scenes with them sharing a tent, laughing and playing all through the night while you try to sleep next to "gassy Gale".
The game proceeds this way where you get to hear about all the things they're doing in the world until they solve the crisis and live together in marital bliss, hiring you on as a caretaker (since you weren't involved much, you aren't entitled to much of the spoils)

"I'm.... I'm really happy for you two" you manage to get out with a weak smile at their wedding
They smile politely and look at eachother
"Oh, Astarion! Ahh, please do excuse us" Shadowheart says, leading Halsin away as you try to look casual standing alone by yourself.

A horcrux is an object you store a piece of your soul in, did you mean patronus? Or perhaps you're trying to describe an Animagus?

nm I reloaded. gonna try to skip that fight, and I need that vendor

>>531153303
I assume he meant horcrux because they don't die when their wild shape HP hits 0.

I mean... i guess? overkill damage still transfers to your human form's health but i guess i'm nitpicking

>>531155523
For someone struggling to kill a druid who keeps wild shaping it's probably enough to make it seem like he won't die. Honestly the NPC druid enemies don't abuse wild shape well enough.

>>531152728
>what do
Stop being such a drooling retard. If this proves impossible contemplate suicide or a less mentally taxing hobby. Like trooning out.

Drakethroat Glaive

Normally I am against mods that change a character. If I hated boxers, I wouldn't mod Cait to not be a boxer, she just wouldn't be my waifu. If I hated Sith, I wouldn't download a mod to make Lana not a Sith, she just wouldn't be my waifu. If I hated vampires, I wouldn't download a mod to make Serana not a vampire, Serana would just not be my waifu. If I hated scientists, I wouldn't download a mod to make Suvi not a scientist, Suvi just wouldn't be my waifu. You get the idea. If you have to fundamentally change important aspects of a character in order to like them, that means you don't actually like that character, you're just making yourself stick with them, and you're changing who they actually are in order to fit inside your idea of what you want, which is not who they are. So normally, I would be against a mod like Really Shadowheart on principal. If you don't like aspects of Shadowheart, don't download a mod that changes who she is, you should just find someone who closer resembles what you're looking for.

However, I think this case is an exception. Because Shadowheart suffers from a writer who directly contradicts himself because he couldn't keep it in his pants later in development, a mod that just removes his act 3 indulgence in his fetishes, and instead keeps the character closer to what the character said she enjoys earlier in the game, it's just fixing a writing error. It's less of a fundamental change, and more of just excising one aspect that is already contradictory and masturbatory from the author that makes the character contradict herself.

I've refrained from discussing Really Shadowheart thus far because this is an opinion and my posts only deal with facts, but since over 45,000 people have downloaded that mod I figure it's worth thinking more about and formulating an opinion on the matter. Which is: normally fundamentally changing a waifu means you don't actually like them, but in this case you're just fixing John's contradictory writing.

>>531163494
true. this is the act 2 conversation:
>Tav: I have feelings for both you and Gale. Why let monogamy get in our way?
>Shadowheart: Gale has a proud streak - do you truly think he'd want to share? Try wooing you while I lurked in the corner waiting my turn? No. That's not him.
>Shadowheart: In truth, I don't think I'd want to be your spare lover. I'd always want more of you than you'd have to spare. Better perhaps to bow out with dignity.

then act 3 with halsin:
>Tav: He wants me. And I want him. I'm not sure if there's space for you and I.
>Shadowheart: Are you sure? He's large, granted. But I can squeeze in any number of places.
>Shadowheart: If you have a chance to climb Mount Halsin, well I'd be cruel to deny you. I'll be waiting to hear the details afterwards.

in that act 3 convo you literally tell her she's the spare lover and she's just okay with that out of nowhere. truly ass writing from larian

>>531155397
Stop sexualizing the goddess of loss.

>>531166308
that's the original nightsong's model though, shar's armor is probably still named nightsong's in the gamefiles, larian joked about laezel fingering shadowheart a few days ago anyway soooo

>>531159356
Maybe he's roleplaying as an 8 Int Barbarian and that's why he tought murdering the leader of the Druid in broad daylight in such a delicate political situation would be a good idea, along all the other 60 IQ decisions he made.

I just tried an Honor Mode run, and it got promptly ended by the windmill nigger goblin, the guy legit just threw 3 grenades in one turn and oneshot my party.

are you just supposed to cheese every encounter from stealth in this mode or what ?

>>531168520
Those grenades are pretty fucked up, but its not that hard to one turn him.

>>531168520
Fezzerk is a lvl 3 fighter. There is no way for him to throw 3 items in one turn. Plus I iirc he only carries one and if you pickpoket him or buy it he can't throw shit.
And yes you are supposed to use tactics and to not walk into every encounter blind.

>>531163494
From a cursory glance, the mod changes appear to be mostly reasonable - fixing inconsistencies, improperly set-up flags, adding romantic fluff like hugs and a proposal. Nothing that veers into headcanon territory from what I can tell. Making skill checks to save her parents easier sounds a little questionable - why even implement DCs if the player automatically passes them - but that's a minor nitpick. Last time I checked, I didn't really like the idea that she would be immediately open to the idea of hiring the drow prostitutes on her Sharran path because that sounded reductive, and it looks like that's still there. Maybe it doesn't matter because no one who likes the character would knowingly pick the Sharran path, but still.

why are people so bad at video games

>>531168817
My Warlock was going first, cast darkness on himself and Fezzerk, Fezzerk then attaked my warlock missed, ran out of the darkness and threw 3 granades doing over 28 damage to each of my three other pary members oneshoting them from full health, so my warlock was sitting in his cloud of darkness surrounded by goblins like a retard.

also some npcs in this game do not really play by the rules your characters are bound by...

>>531169586
Sorry

>>531169589
Depending on how crude attack actually works he could do 4 attacks with action surge. Still I think the number of bombs are actually random. In my Tactician run he threw 2. In my honour mode runs he threw one the one time I didn't pickpoket him and none the time i did. He always carries only one as far I know.

>>531169586
Sorry

>>531169586
Most people only finish act 1. That is why this game has so many praises.
Can't fault them really. Act 1 is the only finished part of the game.

>>531168520
>are you just supposed to cheese every encounter from stealth in this mode or what ?
Yes. Enjoy bro

murderhobo from earlier here. decided 'fuck you and your gay shit' and rerolled as durge. had a mod mess up a durge sidegame so having fun being able to get wyll and karlach now!

You can't keep her or Minsc as companions anyway depending on the choices you make down the line
Just remember to either buy everything you need first or kidnap the traders lmao

>>531171281
Checks out
The "leave for Act 2" achievement is like 50%
Not the most reliable source of statistics ik, but I am curious wtf some of these people are doing
Do they buy the game just to have it sit there and collect dust?

>>531176896
What the hell do you mean by kidnap traders

How does that even WORK

>>531177261
They aren't really gamers. They are collectors. Bundles and deep sales target them specifically.

>>531177448
I haven't tried this myself but BG3 cheesers swear by this method
You pick them up using improvised weapon, move them making sure to cancel action before you actually throw them, repeat until they're wherever you want them
You can kidnap Damon from the Inn and put with in the Guantlet for safekeeping

>>531178849
Why tho? You can kill Isobel at the towers without loosing anyone.

do you guys worry about your waifus/husbandos showing up in bg4 and being written completely out of character? I don't trust anyone but stephen rooney handling pookie

>>531197640
>Minthara
Yeah, can be done because Minthara romance cannot be recruited before Act 2 and thus you can't start her romance
>Lae'zel
Tricky but might be possible if you start both Shart and Lae'zel romance in Act 1, then get the Durge event before the Lae'zel romance scene in Act 2, where you will be forced to choose between Shart and Lae'zel.
Although i'm not sure how the game determines your romance for the Durge event if you have two romances going.

>>531199795
no because shit like that happens all the time lol

>>531199661
its definitely more of a minthara thing

>>531199795
WotC will absolutely have no form of respect about them, and it will just be a cheap cashgrab to promote the new BG game.
Larian approached BG lore with respect and reverence becuase they were fans of the original games
Hasbro will just shit the bed

>>531199795
Yeah its going to be shit. Because they can't develop characters everyone will be the same as their act 1 selves.

>>531199972
Interesting. I am going to test it out.

>>531200239
>Larian approached BG lore with respect and reverence
Lol, lmao even.

>>531200465
Uh?
Compare the Veilguard treatment to their OG characters, and then reconsider how Larian worked on BG3.
Sure, Viconia became a evil insane bitch: a cautionary tale for all those who have an "LE mommy" (I'm looking at you, Minthara, and your future as a lonely cat lady). Sarevok had no real business of being in the game, but that's how we got Orin so it's a decent addition.
Jaheira and Minsc are uber based, and we got little nods to the old games.


Y'know, I also only know how to converse with meme buzzwords, but if you want to argue the discussion a bit I would be happy.

>>531199795
Not really. These characters exist within a specific framework and continuity, and no future work can affect that, no matter how "canon" it is. In order to enjoy the more wish-fulfilling companion endings like Gale ascending to godhood, you already implicitly accept that some character arcs are very unlikely to be made canon anyway.

>>531199795
I don't give a shit about a bg4 not made by larian, I'll consider none of its character iterations canon

>>531201631
The Veilguard director is on bg4...

>Heh, except for the shitty retcons, BG3 treated the lore with respect!
A character assassination is not "lore," nor is it paying respect to it. It's almost impressive how effortlessly stupid the swine manages to be on a daily basis. It's not performative stupidity either - it genuinely believes it's dropping some kind of insight bomb when it types inane shit like that. Did you know a non-character could be interesting if it had personality and agency?

>>531200934
>Compare the Veilguard treatment to their OG characters
The fact that worse exists isn't an actual argument towards quality.
>Jaheira and Minsc are uber based
Jaheira is somewhat decent but Minsc is 70 years old in BG3 and just appears in act 3 were you will most likely never use him as a companion. A little oversight just to hamifist another memberry to the game. Is that what you call uber based? Add to that your own observations about the rest of the original cast and it appears to me that we have very different understandings of what the words respect, and reverence means.

>>531202363
It didn't even play the old BG games. It just vomits whatever insipid, vaguely non-controversial thought crosses its porcine mind in the moment - mostly boiling down to, "Does anyone else think BG3 is an awesome RPG and Larian is the greatest studio of all time?" "Does anyone else think [objectively garbage DA4] is a pretty shit game?" Imagine being such an attention whore that you try to comment on games you didn't even play and their "lore." That's the pig.

>>531202024
good here's hoping she kills the wotc video game division

i never played any of the other bg games and i think BG3 is an awesome CRPG and Larian is indeed one of the greats like Fromsoft

>>531203126
trvth nvke

>>531203126
That's a legitimate opinion to have! But please don't comment on the aspects of the "lore" that Larian respected or ignored, courtesy of WotC. We don't need more morons who read the synopsis on a wiki and think that's the same as having played the games!

>>531202985
>t. I comment multiple times for months on end just to stay relevant without saying anything in particular
The projecting is, astonishing. Actually now that I think about it, you've never commented on anything about the game, other than "the silent (everything but) and elusive (recognizable miles away even without a name) toadcel fan".

>>531202024
Oh no, who would have thought! I'm sure Hasbro cares about their IPs and they're not just doing damage control while other competitors like Darrington press is actually hiring all the good people fired from WotC.

If its confirmed she's more into person A (Karlach) than person B (Halsin), how is this delusional? You seem emotionally invested in Halsin for whatever reason

>>531219268
Its because hes a man. I'll keep saying it. Most men (besides 4chan chuds) find woman x woman to be hot.

>>531220765

>>531221353
>Its because hes a man
Definitely. Shart x Karlach is literally canon in Larian's real life AU, but these people here post about Halsin's ballsack for hours a day

>>531221724
I want a bizarro universe where its Minthara flirting with Shart at the brothel and see if there's any pushback.

>>531221969
You and I both know there would be absolutely zero blow back whatsoever

>>531220765
because karlach calls you a degenerate if you try to hire the hookers

How can I make my thematically classed sorcerer/hexblade warlock with the psychic dagger Durge (Durge is for stabbin') any tankier on tactician?

I have a rudimentary understanding of the system at best, I just want to be able to not lose a quarter of my health to a basic bitch melee attack from some mook, or getting absolutely obliterated by archers with multi-attack.

>>531222874
increase you AC

>>531223009
I have Shield, but that's a third level spell slot and lasts a single round. It's a good panic button, I guess but hardly sustainable. I have the gloves from early act 1 that increases my AC by +2, also from Act 1. I mostly survive by abusing the invisibility-on-kill and tempestuous flight from the storm type sorcerer to escape, but during scripted events where I get ambushed, it doesn't always work out.

Any good ways to up my AC without spending a feat for harder armor?

>>531222874
get a shield

>>531221969
Both Karlach and Minthara are respectful of your boundaries, despite coming on to you strongly. That's the difference. Gender-swapping a sex pest doesn't change the fact that it's still an obnoxious sex pest. It's just less believable for a woman to repeatedly make unwanted sexual advances and refuse to take "no" for an answer. Minthara does have banter where she muses about testing whether Shadowheart is a deviant, but the context doesn't make it awkward or pushy. That's the difference.

>>531225384
Act 2 you can also get Medium armor that has uncapped dex to AC + 15 base
18 dex + a shield alone has you at 22 AC
You can achieve a similar effect by using

Do you not understand that Shadowheart's preferences are the topic of conversation, not Karlach's? The hypothetical is not an assertion that Karlach would actually join in on the drow twins

and your hypothetical won't happen because karlach will not join

but halsin will

>>531224417
She's taking her chance and you have to respect that. She's asking to choose between your partner and her, not trying to insert herself into a relationship. That's the difference. If you reject her, then that's the end of it. Again, there's nothing wrong with a character being horny (Lae'zel), coming on to you strongly (Karlach) or even boldly assuming she's a prize (Minthara), so long as they respect boundaries and understand that "no" means "no."

shart's sex life is gonna make up 90% of /bgg/ posts until it dies
her haters are obsessed. her simps are obsessed. nothing will ever change

Gale, you're sweet and all, but you've seen me kill SO many people.

>>531227620
Sad but true

Reminder karlach doesn't mind if you sleep with halsin, watches if you fuck the drows and forgives you if you sleep with mizora (and mentions she doesn't mind you sleeping with other people)

Why do you have to enter the dialogue camera for every single dialogue with every single NPC, even if they just say a single throwaway sentence? If they only ever have 1 short sentence of dialogue, just play the voice clip when you click on them. Would save several hours every playthrough. DA:0 had this 15 years ago.

i'm about to raid the grove with Minthara, I'm still unsure about my party but I think I want to go with Minthara, Shadowheart and Gayle OR Wyll. I can't decide. Wyll has MIzora and I think she's hot and I hope she brings something to the table, but at the same time I'm pretty interested in Gayle storyline. Any idea? without spoiling me the whole thing, is Wyll worth it?

>>531232407
wyll is awful but you can do his quests and interact with mizora while leaving him at your camp, you'll have to let him tag along at the very end of act 2 though

>>531232174
I'm glad you deleted that garbage post out of shame notice how you didn't mention bg3 once

It's really just a shame that people constantly lie whenever this topic comes up. This topic brings out the absolute worst in people.

First of all, it is a lie that MFF is meaningfully different from MMF. In either case, it's fine if it's something healthy brought up by one of the partners as something fun you might want to explore with your partner. In either case, it's unhealthy if one of the partners says "I've already been daydreamining of having sex with someone else for an extended period of time before you asked". The ratio of men to women in the hypothetical doesn't change that the problem is about your partner actively daydreaming about sex with other people for an extended period of time. This lie is very common on this topic unfortunately.

Secondly, related, it has nothing to do with masculinity. A woman wouldn't appreciate her male partner actively daydreaming about sex with another woman for an extended period of time either. Trying to make this about masculinity is just another dishonest deflection tactic.

Third, it's not about insecurity either. This is just another blaming the recipient dishonest deflection tactic. It's not insecurity to say it's weird for someone to be daydreaming about sex with someone else for an extended period of time. Expecting your partner to not do that is normal and average and expected, not insecure.

Fourth, a lie that was often repeated here by liars was that Minth would flirt with Shart if you're romancing Minth. I had to correct this lie about a dozen times. Minth flirts with Shart if you're NOT romancing Minth. Minth is completely monogamous when dating you.

Fifth, Minth trying to win you away from your current romance is not polyamory. She's trying to make you choose between her or your current romance. It is weird and unhealthy behavior in it's own way, but it's not related to cheating or poly, and she stops immediately when you simply say no. Which means she does respect your boundaries. She takes no as no.

>>531237036
>no pubes

>>531236909
LMAO

>>531237607
No.

Sixth, Karlach is completely unrelated to polyarmory, and bringing her up at all is non-sequitur whataboutism. Karlach acquiesces to you having sex with other people because she's extremely permissive and doesn't want to try to control you, because she's insecure and afraid of losing you. She's not actually polyamorous, and if you are someone who thinks anything along the lines of "Well Karlach lets you....." then her entire situation went right over your head and you should gain some media literacy and play the game again.

Lastly, the only other person who has unhealthy sexual practices in the game besides Shart is Mizora, who actually does encourage you to cheat on your partner and plays coy and says it'll be secret and then of course it's not. But even if it was a secret, it would still be unhealthy. Mizora is the game's example of negative, predatory, unhealthy sexual practices that the player can engage in. Every prostitute is healthy, and every romance except Shart's is healthy.
There are other non-player unhealthy sexual practices, such as Raphael and Harleep and Cazador, but in terms of the player's options.

It's really sad to me that people come to a discussion forum and lie. This is supposed to be a place where people come with questions to expand their understanding of the game or the world, and a few malefactors use the opportunity to misinform and misdirect, because they are insecure about their own choices. About the fictional pixel people. It's really strange and really unfortunate. Lying is such a disgusting personality trait, I don't know why people are so okay with it and so used to it that they debase themselves with it over something as meaningless as the pixel people in the game.

First of all, personal attacks are not arguments. I have pointed out several ways in which you commonly factually lie, and saying "yeah but you..." is not a proper response. You never learned how to exchange ideas, you just jump right into attacks when presented with a valid criticisms of your behavior.

Secondly, you have failed to repeat back what my criticism even is. I have never once condemned polyamory as itself a bad thing. My criticism has always been the protracted long term daydreams about sex with a mutual acquaintance. That is the red flag in question. You consistently fail to even understand the other position, yet you are the first to start insulting.

>>531243632
>>531245140
Delusional about what though? Many of the things I pointed out are literally just lies, it's not an interpretation or delusion issue. Shart says she's been daydreaming about sex with Halsin long before you breached the topic. What is there to deny, or be delusional about? The game does not trigger the dialogue of Minth flirting with Shart if you are dating Minth, it was literally just a lie when they said otherwise. What is there to misinterpret or be delusional about?
It's malice, not innocent incompetence that makes them make these posts.

>>531241615
I've actually never once killed Halsin. He is often kidnapped by Orin, about 50/50 with Lazy, but I save him every time. Shart also gets her happy ending with her parents. As I have said many times, the sin is John's, not either of the characters.

Also, taking harmful actions against someone because you disagree with the way they have sex in their own relationships that don't involve you would be insane behavior, and the fact that this is what crossed your mind as how someone would act is one of those "confessions through projection" we hear so much about.

>>531252401
he's with minthara but daydreams about serana. not just a sexual betrayal but a romantic one too s m h

I am convinced the Shart brothel arguments are just to coax namefag out of his goon cave to make him argue about Shart for the 3000th time and it works every time!

delusion as in incapable of accepting the truth. First they count on the stupidity of their adversary, then when there's no way out they themselves played stupid (pretending not to know past tense, pretending not to know what once or twice or more than that means). But if you struck so telling a blow that they had to agree, and you believed you've made progress, your amazement will be great the next day; the sharter had not the slightest recollection and he'll rattle the same old nonsense as though nothing had happened.

Well, every companion was supposed to be poly, but their respective writers denied that. Since, John Corcoran wrote both SH and Halsin, he got away with it. I heard that Astarion's writer left larian because of that...

So let me get this straight:
Some fags here like Shadowheart
And some other fags are very determined to make those fags not like Shadowheart

Most of the thread is about this topic.
Why do you all care so much?

>>531253656
The lies just keep coming.

1. No one is "hysterical. This is all factual analysis.

2. It's not "stray thoughts" and this particular lie has already been addressed several times. Stray thoughts are normal and sometimes they're not even your fault, intrusive thoughts are just that: intrusive. A normal person bats them away. But the scene in questions reveals that it's not a passing fancy, she admits that it's been an extended thing by saying more than a few times. It's also not some random person she saw and thought was hot, it's your party member she sees every day. She says your mutual friend has been the subject of sexual fantasies over time. That is not a passing fancy or an intrusive thought. You have had this explained to you several times, so once again, you telling these lies over and over like this can only be attributed to malice, not innocent incompetence.

3. Discussing romances in games is not being in love with a person. I often talk about my favorite romance characters across several games I enjoy, that is not the same thing as when you are in a relationship with a person. I don't date multiple people at once and never have and never will. If I found myself having protracted sexual fantasies about someone who is not my partner, I would be ashamed and I would stop. Passing fancy is one thing, you can't even control that sometimes, but protracted explicit sexual fantasies about a specific person that is not your partner is a red flag, which I have never done, and most healthy minded people don't do.

Everything you say is so dishonest, it's crazy. Not only is most of this just not true, but even if it was true it would still be a personal attack in place of an actual argument. You're wrong on multiple levels.

You're pushing an opinion and an assumption as fact. You don't know how in depth the thoughts are, or even when they occurred in the game's timeline. They are in past tense. Karlach says she'd ride Astarion to the Feywild and back. Does that mean she has had long sexual fantasies involving Astarion? Possibly, but possibly not. Maybe some brief considerations of sex. This is an unbelievably tiresome debate at this point. The overreaction is a bit ridiculous. If this were a real person, you could tell them that it makes you comfortable, and that would be that

>>531256610
*uncomfortable

>>531255228
shadowheart is the most important bg3 companion
toadcel is having a melty about this every single day
that's about it really

>>531256610
Karlach's comment doesn't give a timeframe, so no you don't know how much she's thought of it. Shart's comment does give you a timeline, she's been doing it over time more than a few times. She tells you enough to establish it's not a passing fancy, which is what I said. Shart does in fact establish through her word choice that it is not a passing fancy, it's something she's been doing for a while. So you're wrong when you claim we don't know, because we do know the minimum required to know it's not a passing fancy or an intrusive thought. It's been one of her daydreams for some amount of time and more than a few times. As she says.

This whole thing is really stupid to me. If it were up to me, people would date whoever they like and that would be the end of it. If you don't really care that Shart fantasizes about another man, great, go with her. I don't actually care, which is the great irony of me being the one to always talk about this. But I will always, always oppose the blatant lying you people do.

Nobody lied this much in Piper vs Cait. Nobody lied this much with Jack vs Miranda. Nobody lied this much with Triss vs Yenneffer. Nobody lied this much with Lelianna vs Morrigan. The blatant outright lies is new to me, and I don't know why bg3 gamers do it so much. I've never had this experience before. I've spent a lot of time in forums for these various games and none of them had a problem with this sort of repeated, consistent lying that I recall. I don't get what is different about Shart fans.

>>531257651
man watching you parry and riposte retards left and right is just *chef's kiss*

Don‘t worry, you aren’t at risk of “getting cucked“ because you will never, ever, touch a woman

>>531257651
You're taking more than a few times to mean "all the time". I think John was being silly with his writing. I don't think he actually believes Shadowheart sits around all the time with long drawn out fantasies of having sex with Halsin. Shadowheart thinks Karlach and Halsin are hot. She's probably thought of banging them more than a couple times, but the intensity that you're insisting on here seems presumptive and inappropriate given how vague the text is. Does she even fantasize, however briefly, about this in the time period between you entering into an exclusive relationship with her at the end of Act 2 and you opening up your relationship in Act 3? Dunno. Game doesn't say. Maybe she stops until you go out of your way to open it. A player could interpret it either way because there isn't enough information

When the people who like Gortash are told Gortash is actually pretty bad, they just say "I know".

When the people who like Minthara are told Minthara is evil, they just say "I know".

When people who like Raphael are told he's a despicable monster, they just say "I know".

When people who like Astarion are told he's actually pretty shitty, they just say "the game gives you a fix him route".

When people who like Lazy are told she engages in casual sex, they correctly just say "yeah that's before you're dating and before she knew what love is".

This trend continues for most of the characters in the game. There's no coping, or lying, or personal attacks upon the interlocutor. It's an exchange of ideas, and people just like what they like. Short, concise, everyone is on the same page.

But if you point out the fact that Shart likes certain things and will tell you if you ask, suddenly you have personal attacks flying everywhere, you have people contradicting each other that it both never happened or happened differently, you have people pretending to not understand what "more than a few times" means, you have people busting out the "yeah well Lae'zel does X" or "yeah well Karlach does Y" as if that's relevant, and all kinds of other fallacies or lies. It really is crazy how different Shart fans act.

holy shit can you guys stop being autistic for at least a few hours
no one cares

TRVTH NVKE

>>531259170
>you have people contradicting each other that it both never happened or happened differently
You do realize this happens because there are very few lines pertaining to polyamory in this game? Larian themselves said polyamory was added at the end. Due to the lack of content, many different interpretations can arise

>>531259572
if there are less lines there is less interpretations

Shadowheart won
Halsin won
Toadcel and Nametrany lost

How many downloads do you think a mod would get if it featured an animated poly sex scene between the player, Shadowheart, and Halsin?

I don't give a flying FUCK about karlach

>>531257007
he posts more about shart than the frog

Quick question regarding the actual game: if I make a companion do a dialogue choice that they would disapprove of, does the game still track their disapproval?

>>531262376
It treats it as if you said it and you get disapproval

>>531262467

getting cucked isn't the win you think it is

Namecel is permavirgin
Think about it. Just like the brothel conversation, all you need is the context

>>531266954
They don't fall back down prone with Plant Growth (plus I don't have a Druid or Ranger this run).
Plant Growth is a surface right? It wouldn't stack with ice?

>>531267721
that would make you the permacuck tho

>>531267828
How do you cope with the fact that you will never date, have sex, or have a family? Namecel is ugly trans and nonfunctional autistic, what’s your excuse?

no wonder we get inundated with spam posts

Is there a full list of combat encounters for each act somewhere?
All I've done since getting to act 3 is walk around and start some of the side quests
I hate resting without at least a fight first it feels like such a waste lmao

>>531286231
Anyones an encounter if you're brave enough. You could always partial rest with 0 supplies to get cutscenes out of the way, if that's what you're worried about.

>>531285764
Why though
Why continue to spam and namefag
I've never seen positive engagement with any of their posts, granted I don't lurk here much, but still
I almost respect that level of resolve

>>531286361
Ohhhh
Wow I'm stupid asf, thank you
I should really do that more often, a nitpick about this game is the weird event priority system and how easily some things can accidentally be skipped

>>531286536
Attention whores gotta attention

>>531286776
yeah i know what you mean. I fucked up my lae'zel romance in a multiplayer game recently because we didn't sleep enough before resolving the nightsong shit. I usually remember when I'm playing by myself to do like 3 or 4 partial rests before I get past the point of no return for act 1 and act 2. In multiplayer sessions that are only happening like once a week it's easy to forget though.

I'm at 43/54 with 701 hours, but I imagine a good chunk of that is idling and I don't hunt achievements either.

>>531288057
why aren't you using the photo mode P?

>>531288025

>>531288179
I am sometimes, but just when I'm feeling it. When I do use it I spend so much time in it that it over the course of a run it'd add a lot of time to my playthroughs and I don't like to linger overlong on any one character. The cutscenes also have nice angles and fun words baked in. I look around at stuff a lot in photo mode though since it lets me get the camera really close to stuff but most of it isn't very interesting to look at.

>Fancy Footwork
>Busker
>Absolute Power Corrupts
>First Blood
>Ceremorphosis
That last one and the 4th one being missing is weird; I guess neither counts if you do it as a Bhaalist Durge? Or maybe that was the modded playthrough; I don't remember which. Either way I can potentially finish all of these in this run. But I don't think I want to.

>>531289167
I wish Halsin would snap he who must not be name's back in half

>>531290316
that would solve a lot of issues yeah

>>531290381
sobbing fr fr

>>531290158
First Blood has to be done outside of dark urge duel because the cultists don't chant if you 1v1 her. For the Ceremorphosis one, defeating the Elder Brain I think implies it needs to die as opposed to being controlled. I assume you turned yourself into a squid, or did you have Karl or Orpheus become the squid? There's also a thing that enables achievements for modded runs.

>>531290483

Mental illness vs freak of nature.

come on do something

I'm doing a full murderhobo run to see how quickly I can get through the game. However this means skipping a ton of content and thus XP. Is there a mod out there that offers an XP boost, ideally something I can set myself? All I can find is straight up cheating "get to lvl 12 instantly" kind of thing, I want something like 20-30% more XP.

>>531295649
Also, Bardadin or Gloomstalker(melee) for my embrace Bhaal Durge? Both seem fun but Gloomstalker might be finnicky with stealth mechanics, plus no CHA although I suspect I won't be needing much of it..

ID LIKE TO REMIND YOU ALL
There's still dialog within the base unmodded game that implies durge impregnated whomever they romanced. This applies if you have a cockless female character romancing a female character or a cocked male character romancing a male character.

>>531257651
I genuinely don't get why people cant just say "shart likes polygamy but doesnt mind monogamy" just as the aforementioned karlach is monogamous but is willing to be polygamous for you.

Its a simple part of her character, one you can look past, but one its weird to lie about not being present

>>531314673
Is this true??

>>531315257
99.99% of people do this, and have no problem discussing aspects of characters who, in a role-playing game, essentially take on the personality the player wants them to have.

It's a different story when the person involved in the discussion has condemned themselves to inhabiting these virtual rooms while assuming identities tied to fictional characters, and facing the consequences of having to defend them tooth and nail. However, when it came to bandwagoning the popular game in an attempt to stay relevant, the choice fell on a character whose entire backstory and dialogues was unknown to them. A huge mistake, which led to a terrible realization, then a sudden change of direction, and finally a "rebound"; but, we already had a toadcel, and since they don't appreciate women with a personality like Karlach, the choice fell on a drow.
The disappointment was so great that they've been trying to hold the entire general hostage with this drama for over a year now.
They rarely address gameplay, general lore, or anything else anymore.

>>531315675
>>531314673

Are you referring to the lines of dialogue where Sceleritas talks about Minthara being pregnant with the Bhaalspawn?

>>531314276
Minthara & Shadowheart wouldn't give the namefag the time of the day if they were real

>>531317194
Yes. The same dialog occurs with others. I got it with wyll.

>>531317194
I love minthara as a character shes my favorite. I think the worst part is, he acts like those twitterfag "hood weebs". Larping as a fan of something while not actually liking it in truth.

>>531317304
No woman would. None of his 20 waifus either.

>>531357145
kill some of the guards, run away, go back to camp to long rest and keep doing it until you clear everything

>>531357145
You can sneak inside Moonrise from the docks, steal a bunch of stuff there

>>531357636
Yes and you need a certain resource to do that

>>531357828
Astarion my son, your time has come

>>531354714
Are you going at this underleveled? What's your current party comp like?

>>531357958
You can long rest without supplies you just won't get a full long rest.

>>531359549
It doesn't restore my spellslots and only heals to 50%, though

>>531359737
I've never fucked myself that badly for camp supplies as I am a loot goblin and I steal every 2-3 camp supply apple/potato/lemon I find in barrels I have collectively dug through hundreds of times. But it says here you should be getting SOME spell slots back at the very least. Maybe it's the low level slots that are being refunded?

>>531307642

If anyone wants to know why mintharafag hates halsin so much ill tell you as a former discord friend of his
On his first playthrough with his self insert character he skipped dialog like a retard and ended up with a halsin romance he then spent 10 minutes ranting to me about how rapey halsin was and that he, not his character, but he, was essentially raped by him.

>>531371881
halsin definitely awoke something within him and he felt dirty afterward

>now we're just writing fanfiction

RIP Astarion, mf has been on the verge of death during every encounter until late act 2 for me

>>531377356
You can, and it's honestly worth it. It's a permanent +2 to all saving throws. It costs a lot but you can just cheese it if you really want. Or just steal the money back using the same guy 3 times (so he just stops trading with one guy rather than your entire party) and donate to get it on everyone.
>Deva Mace
You can still get it on Patch 8, at least you can on controller. I don't play with KBM so I'm not sure about that.

Lae'zel is stronger than karlach.

>>531375767
>>531376830
It didn't happen. But halsin is a rapist disregarding shart the way he acts towards you is incredibly creepy and sexpesty in a way every other character isn't.

You tell gale or astarion or shadowheart to stop and they stop. You ask halsin to stop and he continues. What anon said can happen. He can essentially rape you if you arent paying attention but for some reason everyone ignores this. He's a massive creep beyond anything any other character is capable of. I never kill him, but I do not like him.

>>531379212
lmao

>>531379212
>hes still this mad he was "raped" by halsin

>>531379212
can you stop crying about big bad halsin for 5 seconds? if halsin is a sex pest minthara is a rapist

Karlach doesn't even ask she just sticks her finger up your asshole. Imagine if the genders were reversed.

>>531378087

I'm really liking (lvl 4) bae as gloom, and astarion as swarm. swapping em out to test, but cant pick which one I like more so far desu. gloom seems like more damage, but bees are so fucking good

Cool hat
I know there's a hide helmet option but the fact that this is what she looks like to everyone in-universe <\3

If Clerics get their power from their deity why was Shadowheart able to keep casting spells regardless after she betrayed Shar?

>>531384814
Selune immediately took her in.

>>531384814
writer's pet

Still no one will explain the whole 'goodberry' thing

>>531379212
How many times have you killed Halsin be honest?

>>531383581
I'm not at level 11 in my current save either but I don't believe summons leave behind bodies, do they? Maybe Planar Ally functions differently.

>>531384814
the dialogue she has immediately afterwards implies that she's receiving her magical power from selune even if she's not a cleric or even a magic user

>>531386127
I'm starting to think there is no real thing behind it. They just say goodberry over and over and that's it.

>>531388389
Oh probably not, but I've heard you can get it through opening the weapon slot and equipping it that way, if not that then maybe command or fear, if not that then RIP

Optimal build 5 hunter 7 champion

>>531390754

The ENTIRE point of hunter is at level 11.

>>531379212
Hey, that word is unacceptable it’s gr*pe we have survivors that frequent this thread

Baldurs Gate is for Baldurians

There is no reason not to give the refugees jobs in the mines.
Canaries are expensive you know.

Doing a new playthrough. I want to play a large bodied male Barbarian and put my penis into Shadowheart. What race should I choose?

Never used Wyll before but Hexblade is pretty nuts endgame, Booming Blade is hitting for 80 before his second attack
Pirate Rogue is kinda fun but needs to be multiclassed at level 5
Death Cleric is cool
Meme Druid kinda sucks
Oath of the Crown is laughably dogshit

I have the suspicion that this little whore is Orin in disguise. I think i need to kill her

>>531395610
I like crown outside of how easy it is to break its oath

>>531395798
ok i'm glad i wasn't the only one

It's code for Halsin's cum.
Goodberry Pie is code for a "creampie" but with Halsin's cum, typically delivered into Shaddy and served warm to Tav.

>>531396727
Shaddy? Shadman? Why is halsin fucking the crackhead pedo?

>>531396897
shadowheart

>>531397070
Thats less funny. I will now imagine shadowheart as an edgy pedo Mexican man pretending to be a goth half elf

>whore
one day you’ll get what’s coming to you anon.

So how did a drow like araj make her way to Baldur's Gate without arousing suspicion

Sending those squatters packing.

>>531400739
There'd been a major push for Drow to leave Lolth's domain of the underdark and enter the surface society spearheaded by Jarlaxle Baenre and Drizzt, Drizzt because he's a known hero of the realm, and Jarlaxle through economics and trade networks.

At the time of the game, there would have been a decent number of Dark Elves living on the surface in Luskan area - north of Baldur's Gate, but its reasonable to assume that there might have been other Drow on the surface just doing their own thing.

People 100% would be suspicious, but she's the odd alchemist so they probably leave her alone.

Also, she's from the same House as Jarlaxle's Gang's Leader/First in Command - Kimmuriel Oblodra, so her name probably holds a little sway

>>531396727

Pretty sure Wyll is guaranteed to die at the grove gates in the PF2e mod
The amount of attacks coming his way

>>531405691
>PF2e mod
why would you do that to yourself?

>>531405691
I felt like that mod was too janky

>>531405691
I didn't know there's a PF2e mod, how is it?

>a DC 25 investigation check in a haystack just to get a single acid arrow
