>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.

Missed opportunity to make a Dolor OP

Handholding with Astarion

Karlach pinning me down and using me as a breeding machine.

Too bad his entire life revolves around owning “shartfags”

Wasted Opportunity Edition

So Lae'zal lays eggs, right? Does the Emperor lay tadpoles? Does Tav become able to lay tadpoles if Tav becomes a full illithid?

no.1

>two ugly OPs in a row
No complaints from the resident schizo this time, though. Really makes you think.

>>531839705
only giths tasked by the queen to become incubator can lay eggs, I'm pretty sure illithids can't make tadpoles only the elder brain can

>>531839781
>ugly

That’s not the issue, it’s the lack of brain activity. OP is so boring it becomes offensive

>>531839840
sad...

>>531839781
>ugly
halsin and wyll are objectively above average in looks, they are both above a 5/10 on the psl scale.

Like I said, no complaints from something that finds ugly men attractive. All these screenshots of cute female characters or even Astarion must have been tough on you.

Karlach (who is a ugly nigger faggot btw) tongues my anus.

can women rape?

>>531839781
I'd rather have troll OPs than act 1 screenshots

The whiner thinks Astarion is hot

>>531840224
>includes astarion with the women
Why are you gay?

I thought I would like Astarion, but actually I like The Emperor way more.

I love this game

We love wyll and daddy halsin

>>531841098
Wow, I had no idea that was even possible

Dolor's mom did nothing wrong

i think she did

Not playing a talking class and just rolling with never convincing anyone of anything is a fun way to play.

My 5120x1440 screenshots need to be resized to 3840x1080 in order to be posted within the filesize limit.

Wyll

>>531840473
Astarion is objectively one of the best-looking male companions - it's also all he has going for him. If he were unattractive, he wouldn't be able to get away with half the shit he gets away with. Recognizing that is not an admission of sexual attraction, any more than a girl having a crush on a female singer means she's a lesbian.

>>531841886
What was wrong with the 3840x2160 screenshots? You fixed something that wasn't broken.

Just dueled honour mode orin and downed her in one turn using SB Booming Blade and Action Surge. No buffs, no elixirs, no pots nothing. Anticlimactic to say the least. This game is way too easy to break.

>>531842286
That monitor got a line of dead pixels so I bought a new one. I didn't like this one at first because 5120x1440 isn't supported by all the games I like to play, but I'm coming around to it since 5k is actually pretty sweet and it's 144hrz which is noticeably better than my last one too.

Most of the older games I like to play that don't have support for this resolution like vermintide and swtor and some others I found a resolution patch for some of them.

>>531841347
You didn’t?

>>531842769
>No buffs, no elixirs, no pots nothing.
I like how you specify this, as if using an upcast Shadow Blade with a stone to double its damage is something the average player would naturally gravitate toward, before thinking of popping an elixir. Yes, the game becomes easy if you start to optimize and pick the best options. OH Monk could do it on day one.

>>531841347
Oh, did I spoil it for you? I'm sorry

>>531844590
No I like spoilers

So help me GOD if I see a single insult to my favorite dolly in this thread I will BURN Last Light Inn to the GROUND

>>531843950
>if using an upcast Shadow Blade with a stone to double its damage is something the average player would naturally gravitate toward
Why not? SB has the biggest damage number of any melee weapon and the stone says it doubles that. Maybe they wouldn't optimize for crits or AS but the combo is very straight forward.

>HM Orin

Pathetic

>>531846721
Because the average player doesn’t know the stone exists
And the average player isn’t going to go “wow it’s worth hanging onto this thing to use for hyper specific cheese”

>>531846905
>Because the average player doesn’t know the stone exists
Doubt that. It's on the critical path with an aura buff and a visual effect. It's pretty hard to miss.
> hyper specific cheese”
Psychic damage isn't that rare considering that tadpole powers exist. It's objectively a very powerful buff with the added benefit of gaining advantage on physical ability checks.
Maybe the average redditor would miss this but I doubt any half-seasoned crpg player would.

>>531846721
Be honest, what did you discover first - that elixirs were pretty good, or the existence of a specific item that allows you to double psychic damage?

>>531847539
>it’s on the critical path
It’s very literally hidden off to the side of a side room

the resonance stone guy just wants compliments for using a broken build
thats just sad
come back after you beat honor mode using shit classes

>>531847842
Since I suffer from the common hoarding disease the stone actually.
>>531848252
Considering the game has whole areas, like underdark, that you can completely miss I wouldn't say that being in a side room inside a mandatory dungeon isn't on the critical path.
>>531849281
I just wish the game wasn't so easy to break by playing even a little bit optimally. If you play a hexblade and you like to optimize an SB build is practically the only way you can go. This isn't some crazy Bard-Sorc-Paladin SB build.

What are the worst subclasses in the game? Asking for a friend haha

>>531849964
they just because theres a larger missable area doesnt make the smaller missable area part of the critical path or w/e even if its in a mandatory area
the standard player will just beeline for the quest marker
>optimize
theres a clear line between using optimal builds and using an outright broken combo
you chose to make the game easier
fyi shadow blade was locked to a single ring stuck at level 2 cast level for most of the games life

>I discovered the stone before figuring out elixirs that apply effects UNTIL LONG REST were good
No one could be this retarded. You guys are being baited.

>>531850759
>OoD
All the OoD specific abilities are terrible or require pre casting because they cost an action are not valueable enough to cast them in combat.
>Knowledge Domain
just a skill monkey
>Trickery
its specific features are terrible

probably more but those come to mind

where are the mods that add quests and companions?

>>531850759
Relative to the classes themselves? Wild Magic Barbarian, College of Valor Bard, Nature/Knowledge Cleric, Champion, Wild Magic Sorcerer. There aren't really any weak classes in absolute terms. A level 12 Champion is still a Fighter with 4 feats, 3 APR, and Action Surge.

>>531852361
I'm working on it

>>531853839
thanks dad

>>531851873
You underestimate my retardation.

The oldest trick in the book

How do I get into the Iron Throne without having it blown up as I arrive

>>531859063
You don't.
You arrive there and have to save the prisoners right off the bat.

>>531859334
But it just blows up as the sub docks. I don't even get to try

Can't find this answered anywhere:

I want to use Bhaalist Armor for the murder aura on my bardadin. Thinking of dipping 1 into hexblade to use CHA and dump dex, pact weapon says it converts damage to magical damage. If I bind a piercing weap, will it still work with Aura of Murder or not because the damage is now magical?
Also Booming Blade I'm guessing doesn't work since it does Psychic damage?

The pride of the gates

>"So Wyll, now that we've had a couple years to really familiarize ourselves with the game, what is your review of Baldur's Gate 3?"

>>531859427
Seems odd, did you kill Gortash already or interacted with the Foundry?

>>531861780
I allied with him, then did the first floor of the foundry as some >reddit post said you needed to know about the prisoners in the first place.

Could it be because I allied with him?

>>531840797
Don't look up the cutscenes you get if you are hostile to the Emperor.

>>531859483
I haven't tested it but from my understanding it should absolutely work.
Vulnerability does not differentiate between regular damage and magical damage, so it should work.
Else the Murder Aura would be next to useless as practically any weapon you wield by the time of Act 1 already does magical damage.

>>531859962
Not a SINGLE soul on this plane of existence wants to see another screenshot of the non-character. Do you understand?

>>531842014
That means she is partially converted to lesbianism and vulnerable to another push.

>>531862094
>Could it be because I allied with him?
That would be my guess.
You don't need to know about the prisoners but technically you don't know the location of the Iron throne before you do some investigation.

>>531859483
magic vs nonmagic should only mean anything for the purpose of nonmagic resistance
thats the whole reason the differentiation exists to begin with
vuln is vuln

>>531851986
Knowledge and Trickery are still clerics thoughever which means they're still OP. Maybe their features are lackluster but they can both still spam Halt. Assassin is an actual bad subclass (on its own). No extra attacks, no fighting style, no extra bonus action like Thief or spell slots like AT. Even fucking Swords bards get access to a fighting style and they're full spellcasters

Starting to see what the gamers mean by Act 3 being undercooked

>>531911576
Give it some time, Sarevok is a bit player in the game compared to Bhaal's chosen.

Do you play with non-lethal damage on?

>>531914707
only if i want to spare a target for specific reasons (like if theyre temp hostile or a playable character like minthara)
otherwise i want them dead and i want to be the cause of their death

>gloves of hill (frost) giant strength
These always felt awkward to equip. A martial's going to naturally reach 20+ in their attacking stat, and have gloves that do more than a stat change. A caster really has no need for these. Maybe for a Cleric since they can use most weapons? Don't feel this way towards the 18 Dex gloves and the 23 Con amulet.

>>531917262
its good if youre a class that multiclasses (locking you out of feats) but also wants two feats like gwm and savage attacker (meaning no space for ASI)
the gloves replace cloud giant and let you run bloodlust instead

>>531917262
400 gold is 400 gold

>>531917582
So pretty much only Paladin (and Eldritch Knight Fighters) gets mileage out of it. It's already crazy with stat distribution even without multiclassing.

>>531918272
considering you need hoh for it though its insanely late game you basically have to beeline raphael at the start of act 3 to get any mileage out of it

Disgusting. Mental illness

how dare you
i am the picture of mental health
thats why my character is called the dark urge

>>531917262
That's because dex and con items allow you to take significant dump stat advantages while the strength gloves are kind of mediocre compared to strength potions which is what you actually want to be using if you're using some sort of build reliant on strength, which also frees up the gloves to use other items which synergize with their build

I was just complaining about the slow walking speed but wow, thank you for going out of your way for me anon. I'm using it right now and I'll think of you when I see it in my mod load list.

What's the most fitting voice for a large body male Durge? All of the sample lines in character creation sound too high-pitched to me.

>>531917262
That's because STR is a useless stat outside of melee characters not using finesse weapons, while DEX and CON are good for everyone. The real benefit of items that set STR high is that the STR characters can now dump the stat and spend the points in other useful stats instead. That's also why the hill/cloud giant potions are so strong. You can dump STR on your martial right from the start and not suffer for it.

It's actually kind of weird, with most games the gooner characters are made by dudes but some of the most over-the-top slutty Tavs you see online are played by women

What a fucking joke. Just finished the Raphael fight in honor mode, wasn't even that hard, not compared to fighting the FUCKING ELDRITCH BLAST IMPS.

>>531945972
>works at a place with mostly women

>>531945435
It's not weird at all, i've played many MMOs for example and the IRL women are ALWAYS playing thotted-up female characters, FFXIV is where it was the most overt with the greatest sample size in my experience.

>>531946542
FFXIV is a different case because half the women playing are trans, that skews things a bit

Women are less likely to have the “BOOB ARMOR IS UNREALISTIC!!” syndrome than men
Guys will obsess over what is “pure” and what is closest to the “developer’s vision” while making their unattractive(realistic and respectful) female characters wear the most conservative armor in the game
Meanwhile girls will play dolled-up girls and not give a fuck

>>531946332
Most normies frown upon the casual use of no no words yes

>>531946827
I meant actual women and not troons though, the trannies always played "waifu" characters, maid dresses and cute sweaters and what not. One of the women (female) i played with was always wearing outright male-tier slutmog

>>531945137
This guy >>531948564 is right. We've seen full blooded female orcs AND female half-orcs and this is neither.

>>531948850
I can never bring myself to use the tadpoles on my own character, just runs so contrary to the "get this thing out of my head" plot. I let Astarion eat them all because he's retarded

Incel does not mean sexless, its dudes who think they are owed women and a woman's dreams and thoughts like he who should not be named.

>>531953183
It means sexless. Political twittertards tried to change it but it still means a sexless loser

>>531952170
Very few pieces of truly good loot drop from the corpse of an enemy, and if it still worries you, just avoid throwing bosses and you'll be fine

>>531953183
Incel literally DOES mean sexless though, incel is a contraction of "involuntary celibate", the nuance there is that they are not sexless by choice, but because they are undesirable, and that undesirability can be because of anything from being ugly to being le heckin misogynist,for example

>>531862747
Ha! That's exactly why I like him... he is basically like a less psychopathic version of Alistair Reynold's Sky Haussmann.

>>531840797
Nah, Emp's a massive conniving faggot

thinking about rolling as astarion next run. I can make him fuck women and renounce the homosex

>>531954114
But how will he stockpile brain worms if he's throwing corpses into chasms?

>>531956094
He's a conniving faggot but a really well written one. He's not as much of a rat as characters like elias bouchard or Baralis and he's not as OP as someone like Bayaz. He occupies that perfect middle ground in believability and it's a really great contribution to this genre.

>>531956546
You don't need that many to beeline all the good abilities. I don't remember how many worms were grabbed directly out of enemies you kill personally, but i don't remember it being anything substantial

>>531956930
Problem is I have gamerbrain, once his mask comes off, all that shit you said goes into the trash and i just merc him on the spot and move on, it's not even a tough decision, he's not Varys from game of thrones.

>>531956986
I just checked and 21 (if Isobel is killed) come from bodies. Some are bosses but many are just regular guys. I think only the absolutists are really chasm-adjacent though.

>>531956930
>a really well written one

>>531956930
I agree with >>531957131; as soon as you know it's all a façade it's hard to see any of his actions as anything but the manipulations of an unfeeling illithid.

>>531957234
Huh, that's way more than i remember. Well at any rate i am on a new playthrough currently near the end of Act 2 and i already have every good tadpole ability with the exception of Black Hole which is more of a luxury investment. (also Perilous Stakes can't be used on enemies in Honour Mode, which i'm running)

These retards have also never touched a woman:
>>531950803
>>531928949
>>531883507

>>531957448
He is still written a lot better than plenty of the newer characters occupying the same archetype.

For example, Raven Scholar is highly praised, but then the plot literally stops making sense once the 'reveal' with Andren happens because of the amount of plot twists they piled on to make it sound good. There's plenty of characters who occupy the same manipulative niche as the Emperor like John Gaius from the Locked Tombs or Jun Wu from TGCF but they lack the ability to sell you on their manipulation. So yes, he is like the top 99% still, simply because the author says that they are manipulative, but the author lacks the ability to sell you on it with their actions.

>>531958148
Why would I touch a woman? I am stone cold and based. A woman could never jerk me off better than I can.

The issue is that due to the relative freedom you have you don't actually see his more manipulative side unless you explicitly distrust him. I was willing to wave everything up until I saw the real Belynne cutscene, VIA YOUTUBE, because he was always pleasant to my face. The game primes you to not trust mind flayers but they also introduce a (so far seemingly) benign one to make you question your innate distrust, and at that point it's up to audience interpretation which varies.

yeah, so the extra necrotic damage proc from death cleric works with each hit of slayer form'smulti-attack, and makes it less shit. bretty cool

Man, they weren't kidding about the real final boss being this fight.
It was fun though. Only wish I could say I took down Aylin, because while I was taking care of her lackies who were giving her invincibility Lorroakan went and one rounded her.

>>531976590
Is it possible for Lorroakan to die in this fight and be succeeded in immortality by Rolan?

>>531977039
I actually looked into this beforehand, the short answer is nope.
The long answer is that if he dies but Rolan lives then after a long rest we find Rolan's body with a note from Aylin that can be summed up as "sleep with one eye open until the day you die".

Before I spend half an hour savescumming the rolls, can you dominate the Netherbrain before the final battle, or is it just DM fiat of "no it doesn't work anyway"

>>531990194
you can't do it before the battle but you'll get the option to control it once you beat it, if you pass the check by hitting a 20, you will severely debuff it during the final fight

Stealth archer is so played out though. I wanted to try the authentic Rogue experience.

>>531987458
It isn't bad, it just doesn't measure up to a full martial's damage per round. But you get expertise and skill utility to make up for it. Swashbuckler being available as a subclass now makes it a lot less of a pain to be able to hit-and-run targets, and Booming Blade helps a lot with your damage and can be picked as a racial trait if you don't mind being an elf/half-elf.

I know you hate women but give it a rest

>>532016891
Yes it is the classic straight masculine sword-and-sorcery fashion style, right outta Conan the Barbarian,

>>532014749
If by full martial you mean Monk, Fighter, Paladin, Shadow blade user or any pierce attacker then I'm fine with not having that level of absurd power. Rather than assassin which is what you'd expect I'd probably do thief (that extra bonus action really is too good) or swashbuckler and go for a -crit number build since there's a crit threshold item that works when hiding and that pairs well with sneak attack.

>>532018598
If you really want to be hitting a dude then running away and hiding every turn yes Swashbuckler (for the free Mobility function) or Thief for the extra bonus action are the best ways to make that happen.
I wouldn't really worry about how strong it is just because of how easy it is to break the game in half. On paper considering nothing but class kits single class Rogue doesn't measure up to other martials' damage per round and in the tabletop game that's a meaningful difference but BG3's homebrew rules and items means it doesn't really matter.

>>532018120
>sword-and-sorcery
Which clashes with the high-fantasy, high-stakes, morally-clear, no-chainmail-bikini world of BG3. You're an eyesore.

Out of curiosity can you game over at the Gur encounter if you are Astarion origin?

At least I don't create a faggy Conan doll to share with my fellow Conan-appreciating brothers. Do you also post progress pics on /fit/?

Setting aside the starting clothes, the Barbarian-themed gear clearly leans toward practicality and realism rather than rugged homoeroticism.

Acknowledge Astarion is conventionally attractive and you must be a fag. But share a picture of your meathead barbarian (he's Conan-inspired), and suddenly there's nothing to see. It's just normal, straight behavior, supposedly. I just think that's interesting.

>>532025217
Sounds like a butthurt Astarionfag to me

>>532025217
Straight men don't aspire to be Astarion.

>>532025217

>>532023206
Sharing faggy dolls is literally all you do in these threads
>practicality and realism
>bare midriff, leather skirt that covers fuck all, and bone spikes
Nothing about that is practical or realistic, it's just ugly

>>532025217
>man astarion is kinda hot huh
see normal people dont think about things like that either

>>532025217
Big muscle men are more gay

>>532025842
I didn't know acknowledging a character is conventionally attractive (and the stats back it up) meant you aspired to be them, so that's another weird leap of logic. But moving on. Straight men, clearly, look up to hyper-masculine figures like Conan the Barbarian, rate each other's gym progress, and their favorite movie is 300 - for the two minutes of Lena Headey in it.

bro sounds insecure as fuck ngl

>>532027032
> Straight men, clearly, look up to hyper-masculine figures like Conan the Barbarian.
Yes. I can't imagine a straight man reading Conan and not looking up to him.

>>532027032
Yeah whoever heard of a straight guy enjoying the 300 movie everyone knows that film was primarily watched by pre-teen girls.

Daily reminder Lenore will be in divinity original sin 3.

>>532029334
Elaborate on that

>>532029334
>Daily reminder [irrelevant character] will be in [irrelevant game].

>>532029461
Targuin, the artificer you meet in chapter 2 of divinity original sin 2, went through a space/time anomaly at the end of the game and came out into Baldur's Gate, and Lenore's letters refer to him. He was offscreen going around the city doing stuff right before the game, and Lenore is currently missing, last seen being sucked up into a time/space anomaly in Baludur's Gate. Swen likes an easter egg of a character from his previous game going around in the background of his next game, and Lenore being sucked up into an anomaly right before the player character walks along is the set up for the next one.

>>532030931
Yeah. This one is pretty tame. There are two additional encounters mods, the one I played before was a lot crazier than this one. This one feels very vanilla.
Which is a good thing. One for the vanilla plus experience, and one for the wacky red dragons and minotaurs right outside the grove and stuff.

With how much of a hit BG3 was, expect future RPGs to be even more porn-y.
We aren't far off from getting full-on Love and Corruption systems. Plus they can mix it with whether or not characters take their evil path

win/win

>>532054284
Compared to now, where she almost never stabs Aylin? That would be an improvement.

>protude [sic] externally
Dear Mintharafag, there is no language barrier.

>>532054284
There is essentially no pornographic content in BG3, much to the porn addict's chagrin. An orgy with two prostitutes is a fade to black. Even the sex scene with Mizora, a devil who might as well symbolize temptation, is more suggestive than explicit.

how do i get a job at Larian

So I'm on my first playthrough and while the Emperor behaves OK, his insistence on stuffing my brain with worms and murderizing the bronze dragon are pretty big red flags. Planning to get Orpheus out to mess with him and Raphael.

Not going to lie, I thought that the Dream Visitor was going to be the Dungeon Master because he was wearing armour like that DM looking mf'er from the DND movie

Latest update just dropped
https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/11524
Added more content from EA: reaction to surrendering Astarion to Gandrel, reactions to interactions with Sazza, reaction to Arabella's death. Also, now these reactions happen immediately, with the [!] marker.
Created and published the Extension 2.0.0.0; I put nearly 2000 cut voice lines in there, scraped them from EA patch 5 hotfix 15; will be gradually adding those to the game.
Shadowheart will always fail the very first wolf fear wisdom saving throw. You don't need to cheese that conversation anymore.
Modified Lae'zel vs Shadowheart fight. If Tav sides with Lae'zel in the 1st part of the scene, Shadowheart sneaks up on Lae'zel; if Tav sides with Shadowheart, Lae'zel sneaks up on Shadowheart; if Tav doesn't pick a side, Shadowheart sneaks up on Lae'zel if she wasn't saved from the pod, otherwise Lae'zel sneaks up on Shadowheart.
De-softening of Shadowheart: she won't thank Tav for saving her until Tav gains at least 10 approval with her. Wolf dream requires approval of 30 (it was 20 in vanilla game).
De-softening of Shadowheart: re-worked Shadowheart's responses to "How am I holding up"; I tried to give her more responses, such that she tells something else for every 20 approval points (0 to 20, 20 to 40, 40 to 60, 60 to 80, and 80 to 100); in vanilla, it didn't matter it approval is 60 or 100, it was all the same. Responses are different for a friend, when Tav dates her, and when they are in an exclusive relationship.

Does the Shadowheart mod fix the fact that she will almost always spare the Nightsong no matter what you do? Along with that bug that triggers when her wound flares up. Because if it does I might actually give it a try.

I'm currently a paladin, an oath breaker, begining Act 3, and I don't really like it anymore. I was wondering if I could just switch to warlock eventually and not miss anything warlock related. Like is there any quest that is only for the warlock class?

>>532148501
there are no quests that are class exclusive

>>532148589
Ok cool thx. Because there's a weird knight that appeared at my camp and I didn't know what to do with him since I didn't want to take a new oath again, I thought there was something similar with warlock

>>532148752
hes not a quest giver hes there in case you want your oath back
he is the only way to get your oath back and he wont respawn if killed so make sure to be careful around him

>>532148963
perfect, thx

is wyll the only straight companion?

>>532148107
>she will almost always spare the Nightsong no matter what you do?
that's just how the game is designed.
And frankly, a mod focused on enhancing the Shart romance would presumably not add that much that pushes her towards Shar.
>Along with that bug that triggers when her wound flares up.
You mean the one that breaks access to the wound flare dialogue? I think that got fixed, at least i got this dialogue in my current playthrough without issue

why is this dude changing the characters when it has nothing to do with her romance? if you're gonna make changes, at least do it in line with what the writers said. screencap attached is what shart's writer said about lae'zel sneaking up on shart. if you do something different, it's fanfiction.

the changes to companion reactions when giving shadowheart to viconia are also shit. this guy made astarion a bleeding heart who would fight you to the death to save shadowheart. an actual retarded change and completely out of character for astarion. he needs to stick to the romance shit and stop fiddling with everything else

>>532178273
>at least do it in line with what the writers said.
Nah I'm good thank you

>>532178273
>why is this dude changing the characters when it has nothing to do with her romance
anon you know exactly why

>>532178483
the way he changed the shart lae'zel fight scene was NOT the intention or either lae'zel or shart's writer even though he claims it is. he's using random broken code written by some retarded intern as his basis. it's beyond stupid

>>532178273
>writers are shit
>follow what the shitters said
why
if they wanted the writers trash they wouldnt be using the mod
>ummm its not canon!!!
no shit sherlock

>>532178982
who gives a shit what the writer's intentions were? the laezel & shadowheart drama was one of the most forgettable and rushed character interactions in the game

>>532178483
I bet this line is the whole reason the character is named Shadowheart.

>>532179068
because he claims to be fixing the writing. now shart's romance is inconsistent writing wise, so fair enough if he makes changes there. but he's actively making the writing worse or downright retarded in other places.

going by what shart's writer said, it sounds like you'd have to progress lae'zel's story up to meeting voss before ever recruiting shadowheart if you want lae'zel to jump shadowheart. in that scenario lae'zel knows shadowheart is being hunted by her kin right upon meeting her

yall are having fun playing some bg3?

>>532178273
The headcanon changes regarding companion reactions to selling out Shadowheart are whatever, in the sense that they're adding much-needed reactivity when you would expect it, and it's not like people who download the mod are rushing to betray her. That being said, I do agree it's a gray area the mod author shouldn't venture into - keep the changes and fixes to the character herself.

Finally finished the game today. The epilogue was gay and retarded and ruined all the gravitas the story had up to that point. I get that the entire game is wish fulfillment but I didn't need 30 minutes of characters jerking me off non stop in voice AND text form, ESPECIALLY since I went full Illithid.

It's been about a year since I played, any good mods out? When I last played the modding API stuff wasn't officially available yet.

>>532181071
additional encounters is fun

>>532150518
Yeah, I haven't used Shadowheart in a while so I hadn't realised the wound flare bug was fixed with patch 8. As for the Nightsong though I do think your choices with her should matter more than just her approval rating does when it comes to sparing the Nightsong. If I raise her approval as Durge while committing war crimes, she should not suddenly want to turn over a new life and betray her goddess just because I'm close to her.

>>532181049
if you are such a sperg, you should have attacked someone and withers would have yeeted you

>>532180742
>it's a gray area the mod author shouldn't venture into - keep the changes and fixes to the character herself
yep. and with the lae'zel shart fight, he's essentially making changes to lae'zel's character to make the situation more appealing to himself as a shart fan. awful. implement that scene right or not at all man

>>532178273
Sharties only like Shaddy cause shes the cute white woman. They hate everything else about her.

>>532181302
she's a pretty mediocre character if you're not attracted to her

>toadcel is autistic about a shart mod just because it touches his wife inappropriately
it practically writes itself

>>532181272
>he's essentially making changes to lae'zel's character to make the situation more appealing to himself as a shart fan
again you know EXACTLY why he's doing that

>>532178273
but if he got voice lines, doesn't this mean its cut content too?

>don't mind me just modding the game

>>532181376
Shes okay to me but I dont hype-analyze everything she does just because she wants to fuck Halsin in act 3.

>>532181420
its really stupid because there is a situation where laezel is actually SUPPOSED to jump shadowheart but he ignored it, going for his bad fanfiction shit instead

>>532181376
There's nothing mediocre about her walking around camp in only her underwear.

>>532181238
I tried it out but it was way too tongue in cheek, I didn't even get a chance to eat anyone and watch them react to it.
Just wish there was a cutscene showing what happened to all of them instead of having them tell you about it at a faggy little gathering. Even a Pillars-style slideshow would've been nice.

if whoever in this general told me like a year ago to play darkest dungeon is here now i just wanted to say thank you because the game is now my life

>>532181049
Do you want the original ending where it ends abruptly

>>532181967
QRD?

>>532178982
It doesn't really make much sense from a characterization perspective either.

>If Tav sides with Lae'zel in the 1st part of the scene, Shadowheart sneaks up on Lae'zel;
This makes her gamble less calculated. Why wouldn't Tav side with Lae'zel again after Shadowheart ambushes her? It becomes an almost guaranteed two-against-one scenario.

>If Tav sides with Shadowheart, Lae'zel sneaks up on Shadowheart;
Same as above, with the added bonus that it's out of character for the honorable Lae'zel, who wanted a fair duel. Either rewrite the first part of the confrontation or don't change anything in how it plays out.

Switching the triggers still doesn't make sense, as it implies either only becomes emboldened enough to sneak up on the other once they're sure Tav is on their side. Pointless change that actually alters characterization.

>>532182027
There was no epilogue and it just returns you to the title screen after the credits

>>532181578
there's not much to hyper analize, I wouldn't qualify any of the companions as deep i m o

>>532181406
>if you rightfully criticize our favorite mod maker you're a toadcel

>>532181926
probably me

>>532182326
Don't acknowledge the schizo forcing its forced buzzword of the month. You criticized the change to Astarion's reaction, so logically you should be an Astarionfag.

>>532182326
every mod that alters writing IS fanfic and fanfic is the only way sharters can cope

Its so hard to be Shadowbaby. The Sharrans erased her memories and now modders aka Tavs are doing the same.

will you ever shut the fuck up? the same posts every singe day

>>532182659

>>532181049

>>532182425
then thank you (probably)

>>532183358
its such a shame what they did to DD2

>>532182919
I played a very mercantile character so I never really saw it as sacrifice. The one part of the epilogue that I did like was the subtle hints at all the evil shit you're doing with the Emperor in the background. But then when you mention it, the characters just go "hahaha... ok" and that's it. Jaheira in particular having nothing to say about you squidding out really annoyed me.
>>532183154
I guess it's emblematic of the entire game.

>>532183248

>>532183818
>evil shit
You're just merchants. Businessmen.

>>532183474
what did they do...? i was planning on playing it too at some point

>>532184263
I wouldn't describe psionic control and manipulation as simply business. My impression of the Emperor has always been that he wanted to implement the Grand Design, just in a more """"humane"""" way. So by joining him you actively contribute to Faerun's illithid enslavement.

>>532184726
a ghaik is a ghaik is a ghaik, nothing can change the nature of a ghaik

>>532184394
instead of a persistent roster that you accumulate and build up its now roguelike, so deaths don't matter anymore they'll just come back for the next run. the art style is now horrendous, i personally don't like the conditional healing. very jewy practices like paygating the crusader. doesn't feel like a crawler anymore

>>532184972
See this is exactly the kind of reaction I hoped to see out of Jaheira. Her being all buddy buddy with me was so jarring.

>>532181441
anyone?

>>532184972
well that's a bummer. i wonder why they changed things so much

>>532181441

>>532183818
>I played a very mercantile character so I never really saw it as sacrifice.
This sentence makes no sense. But even if your character viewed it as a transaction they benefited from, it doesn't mean others didn't perceive it as a sacrifice.

>>532185592
as usual shooting themselves in the foot to own the chuds or something

>>532184726
That is by definition not the Grand Design. Wanting to rule is not even in the same neighbourhood as the revival of the illithid empire, where even free will is nothing but a memory.
>I wouldn't describe psionic control and manipulation as simply business.
Manipulation IS strictly business. The extent to which he just mind controls whoever doesn't comply is up for debate, as the game implies and even shows that psionic control is not a viable long term strategy for success.

>>532186129

>>532187029
that doesn't even make sense thats why it was cut out
sharter is perfidious by nature hence why she sneak attacks lae'zel in the middle of night despite agreeing to settle in the morning

>>532187098
Malicious shitposter or useful idiot, makes little difference in the end. Touch some grass, and stop letting a 2-year-old video game or Mintharafag live rent-free in your head.

>>532187029
>actual cut content
>headcanon

dark urge is literally me
onb

>>532090732
good grief just kill the holyphant
stop trying to be a unique snowflake

Every single Halsin post is me

Every single Wyll post is me

Every single post is me

>>532187818
Did you just mod the game to make all women Karens?

>>532187403
if i actually use gale, he usually ends up being my lockpicking guy because i give him the dex gloves

I like how Jennifer English headcanons Shart as a lesbian who fakes all of her attraction to men

>>532192293
she's probably one of those 'hardcore lesbians' that owns twelve dildos but claims she isn't into men too. stupid mentally ill gays

>>532192293
Are you the Shartfag who keeps seething over her

>>532192989
Dunno who you're talking about but the interview I just watched was unironically hilarious

>>532192945
froge wife

Does the Better Aeshetics mod from rpghq still work on Patch 8?

>>532193731
cute frog

I like how Neil Newbon headcanons that Astarion is a survivor even though the pig said he has no sexual trauma.

i like how dev is a gigastacy like lae'zel

>>532192915
She said if Shart couldn't get Lae'zel or Karlach, she'd date Gale as her "beard" and have a relationship with him that was secretly platonic. Holy kek

>>532194427

>>532195446
ok? and? did you really drink your own kool aid to the point where you really think frogchads care? we're just laughing at YOU for getting cucked

what's this mental illness called

>>532195446
shadowzel is cute and canon

>>532195446
ok? and? t-this doesn't bother me I-I swear!

>falseflagger tries this shit again

I am salivating as i think about all these Githyanki i'm about to murder

>>532198976
Murder implies human. Githyanki aren't human, therefore slaughtering them is not murder and you are well within your right to end those abominations.

>>532197217
why do you think every shitposter is the same person

>it was in the archive

Sad to see.

>>532195751
>chad
calling yourself that is pathetic
plus your reply proves you care a whole lot lmao

>>532199118
It's in the archives is my new fav meme.

>>532199062
Four...

>>532199070
look at the filenames

>>532197217
This looks like someone falseflagging as the Shadowbaby retard. Why would they post IMG_2046 right after IMG_2045 when they got exposed fifteen minutes before?

>>532199912
because its a mobile user who can't see filenames but think others can't see it too

>>532199970
But someone (probably the same guy) already brought attention to it before they made their next post.

Toadcel’s lesbian fanfiction

Tempest Domain is so much better than any other domain can't imagine how you could pick anything else

>>532194583
so shart was lying about halsin then. she thinks of titties nonstop

>>532186209
>>532187392
>defending the namefag when nobody was talking about xim

Makes one think

>>532181514
>modding a game is just like publicly defacing art in a museum
It actually believes this

oh but it is you're injecting your own narrative into an established one

>>532200375
Can a Tempest Cleric cast Mirror Image? Fear? Polymorph?

>>532201374
Please see: >>532090593

ok and?

>a fully grown man self-inserting into Lae’zel x Tav lesbian fanfiction

Brothers…not like this

Shart will appear in a spinoff solely to lecture the audience about performative heterosexuality
