>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.>Polls:>Romance: https://strawpoll.com/NMnQ5kJXYn6>Race: https://strawpoll.com/kjn18WPzeyQ>Class: https://strawpoll.com/eNg69DKKjnA>Companions: https://strawpoll.com/bVg8o8l3VnYOP pasta: https://rentry.org/bggpasta

I felt robbed. I don't save scum but this time I had to.
Petras seems like a dick, since he was talking about how he wants to murder someone first thing after the mass.
But Dal doesn't seem so bad. She seemed concerned about the well being of her "brother" when Ast was threatening him, and she also sounded worried for Ast when he comes back and says in a hopeful tone that he was free, why would he come back. As in, she considers freedom from all this to be worthwhile. So while her peer is thinking about who he's going to eat, her thoughts are about just escaping all this.
We know she killed a child, but if you read the journals, she's a doctor and she had a theory about how to cure vampirism that involved a child's blood, and since she's not in a lab setting she took the only source. Obviously we're not excusing her for this sin, but it wasn't wanton murder or self gain, and she wouldn't have done it if she could get a sample in a more humane way.
I think Petras is an example of someone who was changed by the experience, and his desire is to be the big guy vampire some day and he's a spawn in the meantime. But Dal seems to be an alright person in a bad situation. I also find it interesting that Ast is basically right in between them, at a crossroads, where he can be driven down either of their paths depending on the player's choices. You can either make him worse by ascending him and he becomes the bad guy who induulges in vampirism (Petras), or you can make him better by getting his neutral ending, where he values freedom (Dal).
I think bg3 is a pretty cool game.
Are there good playable Goblin mods yet?

Decisions decisions.
I can put asi into Dex to improve my AC by 1, my dex saves by 1, my hit and damage rolls with my offhand crossbow by 1 each, dex scaling skills by 1, and my initiative by 1. I'm using the ring of elemental infusion alongside the gloves that add stacks of frost whenever you deal cold damage, so hitting with the crossbow every turn is actually pretty beneficial so this one seems the best option. I stack 6 stacks of covered in frost in a single turn by hitting with ray of frost then shooting with my offhand elemental infused crossbow, it's pretty sweet. Haste can make it so I proc the frost stacks with another ray in the same turn if I need to.
Or I can put asi into Con to give me 12 more max hp, +1 to my concentration checks, and +1 to Con saves.
Or the one that is probably the most fun, which is the dual wielder feat, so that I can hold two staffs. I'm doing the ice build, so having both Mourning Frost and Markoheshkir at the same time is always nice. The only downside of this option is that it looks kind of stupid.
I'm also really looking forward to going to razimath's tower to get the robe of the weave so I can wear a nice robe instead of this mismatched clown outfit. I wish there were some cool wizard boots that fit the ice theme. I usually use the boots of stormy clamour on this build but these bonespike boots are +1 to ac and +1 to saves which is generically good too.
Ice wizard is my all time favorite build in this game and it's always a fun comfort pick. I love this game!

How much does dark urge subsume or derail the story and gameplay?
I'm a very good boy, I'd cry for Hitler with a sad backstory so I don't really want to have to choose "IM GOING TO SKIN RAPE YOU" where a Tav would be like "Im john tav do you need to be healed"
>>533260490So far in act 1 there's been one mandatory brutal murder where the victim can be changed if you knock her out beforehand and you have to figure out how to react and whether to cover it up from your party, otherwise you still have options to be good.
>>533260490You pretty much always get the choice of whether to resist or give in to the urges with very very few exceptions.
I got a new graphics card and can play the game at high resolution with all settings maxed out and it really REALLY drives home just how pretty Shadowheart really is.

Thank god
this might be retarded question,
but can you go to the lower city right after entering act 3?
im more of a "go through every nook and cranny" before moving to a new area, but ive always hated how high-low gears are in the end of the map, and then when you have already have the god tier gears theres literally nothing else to do in the map.
ps. by "safe" i mean, im not accidentally activating quests or missing any.
im trying to go straight to buy stuffs from daemon or the vendors in the map that are in the open and inside the buildings and shit

>>533280210dont pretend this is lore friendly

>>533281960It's usually minor, but rushing to Lower City without properly taking care of business in Rivington can slightly alter quests. For example, since you have Jaheira in your party, the Harper safehouse encounter will no longer be available. You won't be able to go back and smuggle the Strange Ox either.
Replied to the wrong post.
>>533275549Preferring short-form content, such as easily snackable 20-second videos or quick shitposts on 4chan, is usually a sign of poor self-control (impulse control). The inability to delay gratification in early childhood is ironically linked to higher BMI in adulthood (Stanford marshmallow experiment). I don't need to ask whether you were able to finish the 100-plus-hour BG3 without speedrunning and speedreading through half of it. Did you even make it to the end of this post?

Bro can you even get to it underneath his overhang belly?
The bg3 character ik the most similar to? Wyll.
Is it me or are the melee animations and overall flow of melee combat unsatifying in this game? Like, I'm wielding a 2h sword dude and he does the same old animation whenever he hits someone. And in the case of being able to multiattack you do the 1st attack, pause, and when you choose to do a 2nd attack it does the exact same animation. Lame.
Sure there are a couple of unique animations per weapon, but they are once per short rest.
At least in WOTR a full attack brings at least 2 animations per weapon, if I remember correctly. As it stands though, the caster playthrough feels more satisfying and impressive to use visually.
>>533305685the patch added different stances
i'm in act 3 and wyll still has his base armor and weapon he never left the camp aside of making him free mizora

>>533312929 Shadowheart...
>>533305685I think the melee animations are more satisfying when you attack with a melee spell like smites or blade cantrips. You get a beefier sound effect on hit and a cool pose before you strike and then you tend to do a shit ton of damage all at once.
>>533305685Somehow I doubt that combat animation quality was the focus of development for this turn based story RPG.
>>533315882>nonwhite lizardthis place is white lizards only
>>533245162Ice sorc/wiz is one of my favorites too. I would say go with double staffs if you already have 20 int
I think I'm going to make Lae'zel a Way of the Four Elements Monk until I replace her towards the end of Act 2.
Means I wasted my time trying to rig up a Divination Wizard to make sure Voss dropped the Silver Sword, but it's whatever I guess. I ended up falling in love with Divination so it's not like it was a complete waste.

>>533318241not open hand? she seems like an open hand kind of gal
>>533318719you just missed it
>>533319230Open Hand is overdone. It's always Open Hand whenever Monk is mentioned. Orpheus is Four Elements so I like to imagine that she found some tir'su slates describing their fighting style and she went Four Elements to follow in their footsteps after turning against Vlaakith.
>>533319991Four Elements seems cool thematically because you literally use your own body to create not!magic. Mystra can suck my nuts.

I wonder about Shadowheart's armpits sometimes
>>533320693Gale is an unfit nerd that is driven by his passions and insecurities though, he would hate being a monk
Finally looking like a proper wizard. Takes all the way to the end of the game, but patience pays off.
>20 spell save dc>watching bosses and people who talk shit slip and slide around on ice>>533317502I went with the dex since it does so many small things, and hitting with my crossbow is relevant for this build.
That and dual wielding staffs just looks so goofy. It's arguably the best option but I don't mind.
>>533320505>Mystra when Gale is an unthinking simp blindly worshipping her :)
>Mystra when Gale joins her as a god and could potentially be her divine lover):<
It's a shame that she's a greater deity since only a select number of gods can tell her to calm down and play nice.

How worth it is it to have an ability score one away from gaining an extra modifier? Right now I have one at 17 which gives me a +3, but the main way I see to boost it is through the ability improvement feat. I’m not even sure I’d want to take the feat over others and if I did it boosts it by 2 so either way it seems better to just have it at 16 so I can just use points elsewhere in character creation, right?
>>533332097this boy likes snow
>>533332154its completely useless to have 17 over 16
>>533332643Okay, that’s what I thought, but I’m a retard so I wanted to double check.
>>533332154ideally you leave them all even
you can leave 2 odds and correct them with ASI or use another feat like tavern brawler to fix the ones you can if it fits your build.
>>533332717I'll be home in an hour if you'll still be awake!!!
>>533333956the window of opportunity...has closed
Some of the edgelord Tav options are pretty funny
>>533332154Generally yes it's useless to have an odd score, but there is a corner case worth mentioning which is ability drain. If someone drains one of your abilities by one, your ability modifier won't change if it was an odd number that had a superfluous extra point anyway. Think of it as a buffer. But the player getting ability drained is rather rare in this game and it's healed in several ways immediately after it happens, so I wouldn't actually build with this in mind.
The Resilient feat is also worth mentioning, since it improves an ability by one and gives you proficiency in the corresponding ability's save. It's not exactly one of the "good" feats but gaining proficiency in dex, con, or wisdom can be useful and if you don't need two ability points it can be efficient in that regard. But asi is generally better in most circumstance.
what destroyed this general?
>>533335738nothing, its alive and thriving
>>533302090Imagine going to a general of a 100-plus-hour game only to cry about posts being too "large" for your attention span. Imagine implicitly admitting that you'd never type anything that lengthy about anything and taking pride in that. Imagine letting a namefag you could filter with one click live rent-free in your head for two years. Imagine getting triggered whenever someone else posts one of their screenshots or comes to their "defense." Imagine having so little to offer that, after playing the GOTY2023 (GOTD), your thoughts can be summarized in the form of a meme or by which in-game midget you wish you could romance (fuck). Imagine thinking it's "lore-friendlier" to turn all the ugly midgets into tall babes, thereby stripping the world of its racial hierarchy, and Astarion of his heightism (racism). Imagine actually flaunting your degeneracy while simultaneously trash talking the beautiful female romances. Imagine being so afraid of women loving women that you'd turn to mods to gender-swap Aylin. Imagine being pathologically afraid of beauty and posting your ugly half-orc or dragonfreak no one wants to see. Imagine samefagging for hours and days and weeks and months and years with the same low-effort shitposts because there are no consequences and you're still mentally a child. Imagine cycling through your list of shitposts and settling for something as low-effort as "[female character] deserves to be raped," or "is there a mod to fuck goblins yet?" Imagine shitting on the writing of BG3 while simultaneously being excited for Larian's upcoming not-Mass Effect and being too stupid to see the inherent contradiction. Imagine deliberately entering a thread full of things and people you hate only to signal to others you're too cool for school or to annoy as many as you can. Imagine actually seeing nothing wrong with these behaviors or being so little self-aware that you delude yourself into thinking you do nothing wrong. Imagine being that shameless "person."

>>533332154>>533332643Technically, and outside of the niche cases described by Mintharafag above, having 17 DEX is slightly better than having 16 DEX, because the higher DEX is used to tie-break Initiative rolls. At least, that's the theory. The game seems inconsistent in handling Initiative ties and appears to favor the player, making odd DEX scores redundant.

If someone just slaughtered every sharran in your cloister, would you tell them you're going to stay a sharran and join another cloister, or would you at least try to lie and say something like "I was waiting for a chance to escape, thanks".

I get the impression that someone at Larian really hated VIconia. People make fun of her, her family, she fails at everything, is the big bad guy of Shart's story, yet is also simultaneously just a stooge. It's like someone was on a mission to portray her tin the worst way possible.
And it's actually interesting to me that they did it in a way that betrays one of her previous core character traits. Before she joins the party, Viccy became an exile from Lolth when she refused orders that were too dastardly for her and they murdered her brother. One of her motivations was "maybe being a mindless stooge of an evil god who doesn't even value you...is a bad thing", and here she is in bg3 being the stooge of an evil god who doesn't value her followers and often pranks them by abandoning them in the fugue plane as a final lesson on loss. So Viccy just...forgot that she doesn't want to be a mindless stooge. So whoever at Larian hates her and wanted to drag her through as much mud as possible for some reason even made her betray herself. I wonder what she did to that writer, and which writer it was.
It's also interesting that Viccy had no happy endings. Her romance ending featured her being assassinated by Lolth. She can never catch a break. Which is a shame since she's a pretty interesting character, and her romance was very unique among crpg romances since she tries to drive you away, rather than the usual everyone jumps at the chance to date the MC.
>>533355968>yet another episode of fatty crying about big bad john
>>533355968>It's like someone was on a mission to portray her tin the worst way possible.John Corcoran wrote Viconia in BG3. Were you really expecting anything other than shitty fanfiction?
>>533356393John cooked thoughever
>>533356393You have got to be kidding me. The gift that keeps on giving.
I'm surprised Viconia didn't take a minute out of her speech to comment on how large and strong Halsin's arms are lmao
>>533356492It makes sense now.
This fuckin game
>something is shitty
>John is responsible
If I had a nickel for every time this happened, I'd have two nickels. That's not a lot of money, but it's strange it happened twice.
>>533355968isn't she a sharran in the earlier games too though
>>533357080is he like larian's Emil?
>>533357080>two nickles>the companion he wrote in dos2 was so shit and unpopular he had to be rewritten in the definitive edition just like wyll in bg3>he still ended up being shitty and unpopular>halsin is the second worst character in bg3 after wyll>shadowheart is a different character every single act>viconia>nocturne is the most blantant token character in gaming>his gay poetry on twitter>the reddit bear sceneat least halsin is hot but he didn't even design him or come up with his character in the first place
>>533357296arguably worse since he can't stop shoving his unfunny memes & blatant pandering in his work
>>533357285She is a sharran because she was abandoned by Lolth and got a new religion. She was not a mindless stooge though, and part of her character was choosing to not be a mindless stooge for uncaring gods anymore, after it went bad the first time. So while she was a sharran as her choice of religion, her depiction in bg3 contradicts an important part of her character.
Imagine a world where John and Welch were never hired by Larian
>>533355968>Viconia trashed>Sarevok redemption made non-canon>Raphael just happens to be the bastard son of the second strongest archdevil>Aylin calls herself the daughter of SeluneThe game is fun but they went a little too hard on the spectacle.
>>533358146welch is based, the dark urge story & characters tied to the origin are very entertaining
>>533358254chads who skipped the first two games stay winning
>>533355968I wouldn't be so quick to put all of the blame on Larian - we'll never know to what extent WotC was involved in forcing the inclusion of returning characters. Jaheira and Minsc were always the good guys, so following up on their heroic characterization is simple enough. But canonizing the redemption of evil characters - let alone an "evil" drow - is a tall order. From a corporate perspective, such a character could overshadow the likes of Liriel Baenre, another reformed Lolthite.
So what came first, the concept of Shadowheart as a cleric of Shar who could then be linked to a character from BG2, or the other way around? Of course, none of this excuses retcons or the character assassination we ended up with, but it is what it is. It's fair to assume that not every good ending for your favorite companions in BG3 will become canon. But that's okay, because we can appreciate it as a standalone story instead of worrying about how much WotC might butcher the characters in the future. That's how I rationalize liking both BG2 and BG3.
>>533360979>the concept of Shadowheart as a cleric of Shar who could then be linked to a character from BG2, or the other way around?we already know from datamining that viconia was not originally the mother superior. it was some random high elf
>>533360979shadowheart's main antagonist being viconia brings nothing to her character that's on larian
>>533362589That's not definitive proof. It could have been a placeholder. Komira used to be called Marricko. The Dead Three's Chosen used regular models. The Nightsong was presumably a Sharran boss. A lot of things were still subject to change, but whether the concepts themselves were finalized is another matter. Is it really a coincidence that the sequel to BG2 also features a cleric of Shar as a companion? What are the odds?
How should I approach last light inn as an embrace Durge?
Expose Marcus?

What to do with Isobel?
>>533364308Is the cutoff for Isobel the death of Ketheric? I feel like it would be especially cruel to side with Marcus only to kill her in front of her father.
>>533363776i think there's a reason viconia feels so awkward and out of character in shart's storyline. they put her in a role that wasn't created with her in mind
>Is it really a coincidence that the sequel to BG2 also features a cleric of Shar as a companion? What are the odds?swen already said in an interview how lae'zel and shart came to bee. it's been discussed at least a dozen times in this general. no, shart doesn't exist because of viconia
>>533364308By doing all the quests and then kidnapping the town before killing Isobel
>>533367379I've already killed the teethlings so not much point to that.
>astarion shits on laezel at the party
hahaha thats hilarious
>>533327994Shadowheart can be in love with you and have fun with Halsin. You can do the same. Enjoy open relationship.
>>533348473You can have both. Sex with Minthara (doesn't break your romance with Shadowheart). Have sex with Shadowheart and raise Minthara's approval to 30 after this to start her romance instead.

>>533357080Welch's orders. She hates conventional and popular women. Shadowheart and Viconia were butchered. Alfira was cute and popular during EA so her character (self insert) kills her.

>>533374356noooo :(
Astarion deserves someone who’s devoted to him alone
>>533355968Viconia and Sarevok were doomed no matter what since BG3 is working off of WotC's terrible canon. Just be glad we didn't get fucking vampire Imoen showing up.
>>533355968Minthara is from the first house of their city, it's in character she shits on all lower houses. Nothing personal Viconia. I'm only on my second playthrough so yet to see her Seldarine dialogue.
>>533358254Raphael being the son of an archdevil serves to explain how he's powerful enough to be bossing pureblooded regular devils and other cambions around and can actually mess with mind flayer psychic connections. It's not like he's the only son of Mephistopheles in lore either.

Update on Horny Wyll. I've moved to the Rosymorn map area and I got a forced long rest. Karlach had an exclamation preventing me from long resting, and when interacted with acted like Wyll chose the horny life for her sake. Mizora was just hanging out next to her, and Wyll was out of the box in the camp chest, alive and noticeably unhorned. After speaking to Karlach I long rested, and at the start of the new day Wyll is still human and Mizora is still here. I killed Wyll and put him back into the box. I'll report back when I actually get to Act 2.
>>533467726>I killed Wyll and put him back into the boxSad.... good luck on your test

Yeah I'm not downloading that shit.
>>533483314i wanna get pegged by your tav
say something nice about our terrible companion party
>>533482017Oh, that wasnt just one of my mods?
I has just assumed
>>533472076>a limit of two romances that can be started in a playthroughNo, two dates at the same time. You can break up with someone and have another romance. Maybe this companion permanently leaves your party or dies forever. It also refreshes your romance limit. You are forced to choose one companion to be partnered with at some point at act 2. But Minthara approaches you when you reach 30 approval points. It can happen at act 2 or 3 and you previous partner breaks up with you.
>>533488152>No, two dates at the same time.You can date Halsin and Karlach/Shadowheart/Astarion, that's two romances
>halsin appears
>become everyone's favorite
>let's make him a companion. john will write him
>now fans hate halsin
I thought everyone would get a full date scene, not just karlach
>>533489703I've never really liked halsin even in the EA, Alfira, Abdirak and Zevlor were were more popular than him during the EA i m o
>>533489743tbf lae'zel doesn't seem like the sit down dinner type, watching the sunrise and h*lding h*nds was perfect honestly
laezel lets out a huge, disgusting fart in the middle of camp, but nobody notices because she just always smells like that
>>533489743Mama k is the canon romance
>>533489743the only thing people talk about bg3 are its romance, astarion is the only reason most women play bg3 I wonder how deep will larian make their romances in their future games
>>533489987Each companion will get the karlach treatment and have 2 sex scenes and a date.
>>533490118every companion will finger your bootyhole in act 3?
we live in a society where some companions got 2 sex scenes or 2 character paths and wyll got neither
>>533490151Gen z men love prostate orgasms, larian knows what sells.
>>533490262larian knows what doesn't sell
>>533490262Wyll was the second least used and second least romanced character after manthara. Larian made the right decision.
>>533490563>Lae'zel gets to cum firstIts not fair bros...
you just know wyll would have the lamest sex scene
>>533489703>make his only character trait that he's constantly horny to the point of being unable to commit to a single personyeah it's lame.
>Goblins die screaming like loud nigra as Shadowheart runs around their camp with Spirit Guardians up
Sometimes this game is pretty funny.
>>533491143Just animate it like one of LTG's sex scenes.
>>533489703I think Halsin's pretty cool whenever he isn't talking about sex or flirting.
doesn't wyll pull you down and the scene fades to black? not much different than some of the other companion "sex" scenes in this game
>>533491352>https://youtu.be/nDYbRCmjEUE?si=7Ck6277eqK7Ujc20EA wyll would talk like this
>>533491408Compare his scene to karlach and mintharas scene.
>>533491398all he talks about is nature and how much he hates society he's barely a character
I'm sorry I failed you Bex ;_;
It's always easy to come up with additions to a game already released and worked on for years. That being said, I'm still disappointed that the only casting animations are with hands, recently, a bladesinging weapon. Why not books, wands, or the obvious in pic related...

Im looking to replay BG3 soon-ish as its been some time since patch 8 and that probably gave time for some good mods to surface, but I have a question
Which modding method is the "better" one? Mod manager+nexusmods or the built-in mod browser? Or are you supposed to be use both at the same time?
Asking because so far I have seen that both methods lack some mods the other has, and Im mostly looking for mods that add some fun or unique classes(like red mage and artificer), new gear, must also spice up the combat with more/stronger enemies to balance potentially broken class combos
tl;dr
Nexus or native mod support?
>>533447204>Loyalty. Your word is your bond; without loyalty, oaths and laws are meaningless. >>533446173The feat says that, but no. It works on all sources of Bludgeoning/Slashing/Piercing, including magical weapons + spells
It's a very strong feat
>>533500960Just use both at the same time. You can export all the mod manager mods to the game and run them with the build-in manager
>>533493807she should have been romanceable
Should have been companions, but aren't:
Araj
Adriele
Aradin
Should not have been companions, but are:
Halsin
Should not have been companions, and aren't:

>>533502902alright thanks, whats the best mod manager? Arent there multiple ones?
>>533504363>ArajNo, she's not tadpoled and has no vested interest in stopping the Absolute. We also already have a drow companion.
>AdrielleNo, she's not tadpoled and would be recruitable too late in the story. We also already have a (half-)human cleric companion.
>AradinNo, he's not tadpoled and has no vested interest beyond saving his own skin. He's also an idiot and a coward.
I love playing summoner classes, but one downside is that half the group is trapped outside this doorway lmao
>>533507351Araj would stick around for blood samples and Aradin would stick around if you paid him. It would be cool to have to actually pay him and you could negotiate rates with persuasion, and Araj coming up with new potions each long rest would be a cool mechanic. Not everyone needs to care about the absolute or be tadpoled in order to join the group.
>The mad scientist frog was kinda cute and I still don't still know what "istik" means.
>>533507741Araj is no fighter and would be a glorified camp follower at best, so nothing would really change except saving the trip to her shop. I guess you could headcanon her as an Artificer (Alchemist), but she doesn't strike me as someone who'd risk her skin. By that point, the group has defeated an apostle of a god of death and doesn't need to negotiate rates with some two-bit loser like Aradin who runs from goblins and whose job is to job. The game probably needed fewer companions, not additions or replacements. I'd remove Minsc too - he's too late in the story for me to care, and he's also just nostalgia bait that adds little.
>>533497094The whole point of resist is that you're fighting the urge. That means you can occasionally slip, it just means you're losing the fight at that point in time.
>>533504363what a dogshit list. Who the fuck even is Adriele?
>>533498583Rules also said you can't learn spell of all levels you had a slot for off a scroll as a level 1 Wizard but Larian allowed that too.
>>533513472If you play as a red dragonborn and romance Lae'zel does she basically claim you as her red dragon?
martial classes are just so outrageously better than casters and it bothers me to no end
if they weren't already shit, a long rest to get their resources back is another slap in the face. even retarded gimmicks like creating water to set up lightning is not any real competition for the kind of shit a warrior does immediately for free
>>533513708Any dragonborn has unique dialogue with lae'zel but it goes away as you get deeper into her romance. doesn't matter if you're red or not, i'm pretty sure you can just be any dragon and it lets you skip the check to top her.
>>533513859thats the effect of bg3 being a video game
in tabletop martials are still good at combat but casters destroy them in every aspect of gameplay

>and know the joys of your company once againsounds like a threat
>>533504363Pretty good list, but I would say that Halsin being a companion would be fine if they didn't make the changes they made to him when they made him a companion. I also would have wanted a gnoll, hobgoblin, goblin, cambion, or some other monster companion.

>>533520446Yeah a monster companion would have been nice. A dwarf too.
Dwarves are relatively less popular when it comes to romances and party inclusion, but people mistake that as meaning something it doesn't. Characters like Oghren, Khelgar, Wrex, and Gimli are still important to fantasy storytelling tropes, even if nobody wants to fuck them. It's two different things.

>>533542938She is going for the sexy mommy aesthetic. (No im not even joking if you do the wyll orgin and flirt with her she tells you to call her mommy and referers to herself as mommy)
I wish we had returned to Avernus in-game, it would have been kino to run into laezel 100 hours later and she's bitching about how I pushed her off the ship
>>533542938>not being a hairmuff enjoyers m h
>>533546941it makes her look manly and unhygienic, pussy stinks bad enough when it has modern hygiene, leaving hair on it to catch whatever comes out isn't very appealing
So which would actually be worse, Vlaakith becoming a proper god or Illithids rebuilding their empire?
>>533547594Vlaakith winning just makes the multiverse a worse place, if mindflayers win its gg.
>>533547594Illithids and its not even close
>>533547594Illithid empire returning fucks over literally everyone.
Vlaakith becoming a real god just fucks over the gith, who are already pretty fucked anyway. For all their power there are still really hard limits on just how much a God can fuck with stuff without getting beat to paste by Ao.
>>533538181>Astarionfags bitched so much Larian got rid of the look of concern Tav/Shart hasThis game is actively making me misogynist
>>533548589you were an incel long before this game
>>533524825>Monsters and midgets are still important to fantasy storytelling tropesWhat exactly is that nebulous "importance"? I've never thought of the Lord of the Rings as that inspiring and timeless epic because the Fellowship included a dwarf. Mass Effect's eternally divisive question of whether to cure the genophage relies entirely on the player giving a single shit about the well-being of what is essentially a rapidly multiplying invasive species - it's a fake dilemma once you take a step back. As for D&D, it's much simpler - monsters are monsters, despite WotC's and Larian's best efforts to soften and sanitize their less savory aspects, leading to BG3's pacifist mind flayers and enlightened hobgoblins. It's a nice sentiment, but it doesn't work. The player doesn't need to be reminded that, actually, there are one-in-a-million exceptions among these monsters.
>even if nobody wants to fuck them.Never underestimate the depths of their degeneracy.
>>533547146Pussy hair can't be manly, only bussy hair can.
Also just by being a cambion living in Avernus, she's constantly in a climate that kills off all the little shits living on the bodies of filthy peasants including the micro ones causing rancid stink!
>>533549353why are you screeching at being recognized as an incel? would think you're used to it by now since everyone in your life can tell. everyone.
>>533549618Pussy hair is absolutely a masculine trait, it's something pushed here by closet cases who can only get aroused by women if they project masculinity onto them, same crowd that plays up 'muscle mommies' or women that stink or tomboys or whatever else, they need women to be as manly as possible and they get aroused by women in direct proportion to how much they look, smell, and act like men. They'll focus on gay shit like pussy hair or a woman's asshole, things they have in common with men, because ultimately that's what they desire but they don't want to admit that yet, so they launder homosexuality through a woman's body.
>>533549896Try talking about video games. That's ostensibly what this board is for.
>>533549071Githyanki and hobgoblins are in a similar situation, if gith can be good then so can hobgoblins. Things like aboleths and illithids going good is much rarer because besides culture there's the diet requirements.
>having a pussy is masculine
>Rogue subclasses

What were they thinking?
>>533550029I am. Mizora, a character in the Baldur's Gate 3 video game, has pussy hair, appealing to the gay community. Shadowheart, a character in the Baldur's Gate 3 video game, has pussy hair, appealing to the gay community. Try following a conversation and allowing for natural conversation to occur rather than running to namejanny every time you start fagging out.
>>533549647I’m really sorry I called out your goonerism, queen. God forbid anyone have an opinion on the actions and beliefs of a group of women.
How’s your daily ao3 smut reading going?
>>533550157If it's hairy, yes. What part of Shadowheart is feminine? She's hairy, she runs around fighting people all day, she drinks and curses. You could call "her" Shadowguy, not change a single line in the game, and nothing would be out of place, because "she" is indeed written to the standards of a man, and appeals to those who find men appealing. When I think of women, I don't think of hairy, sweaty drunks running around in armor and swinging a mace around, but that's just me.
Reminder that Vlaakith is shaved
>>533550189Got ya. Astarion doesn't have body hair. He was made for lesbians.
>Pussy hair is absolutely a masculine trait
>sure she has a mustache and beard but its on a woman so its masculine
>>533550189Arabella is a character in the Baldur's Gate 3 video game. It doesn't mean you can use her as a jumping-off point to start raving about your degenerate fetishes or your views on real-life groups that no longer have any relation to video games. Is that clear, cupcake?

>>533551436Yes, if Shadowheart had a full beard it would indeed be masculine. If Wyll wore a dress nobody would pretend it wasn't feminine. The little M/F checkbox in the character screen doesn't change what it is.

The githyanki are a people who have been enslaved and fought tooth and nail to win their freedom and pursue revenge against their oppressors. They're profoundly human in that regard, if you have even the most passing knowledge of history. Hobgoblins are tougher goblins that yield more experience points when you kill them. They have no history, no culture - nothing that justifies taking them out of the Monster Manual.

>>533554075I didn't say anything about backstories. Culture is collective. It's about the race as a whole, not individuals or exceptions. Whether the gith's culture makes them feared or reviled is irrelevant and no different from any other culture in human history that used militaristic might - no different from the drow.
>>533555120There have been a few. There's a single all-in-one 2024 PHB rules conversion mod that covers everything but I personally haven't tried it yet, and there are others by different modders that are smaller in scope for spells, individual classes, etc.

>>533557123Alert was nerfed significantly, it's "just" proficiency bonus to Initiative now
And the ability to swap intiatives with a willing ally, but IDK if that made the BG3 conversion

>>533557123Backgrounds in the new 5e PHB do give feats, that's how it works. Pretty sure the mod also changes initiative to a d20 roll instead of a d4, anyway.
>>533557048You don't have to repeat the worthless pig fuck's joke when it's not here to laugh about it.
>>5335571232024 alert is very different. Now it just gives you your proficiency bonus to initiative rolls and allows you to swap your spot in the initiative order with an ally. One of the things the 5.5e revamp did was nerf the feats everyone took and equalize most of them. Though of course it's still not 100% balanced.

I was more hoping to see added races in the mod but it seems like they only modified classes, feats, backgrounds, and spells. I don't see any comment on it but what I really want to know is if they put in the leveled spell ruling into this mod and if the Counterspell change is in it.
>>533550935At the very least Astarion it shows that Astarion is more hygienic than Shadowheart, who shares hygiene with a literal demon.
