>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.

Arcane Archer is a fighter that can use consumable arrows and titanstring bow so it's good. It gets an obscene amount of arcane shots per short rest that grant it extra damage and huge crowd control potential including a fucking spammable banishing arrow that recharges on short rest and is available as early as level 3. It's good.

This isn't an MMO or a MOBA, so your rough classification is completely off. For example, a Cleric is well-suited for the front line. They are proficient with medium armor and shields, have access to plenty of self-buffing and healing, and can cast spells like Spirit Guardians for crowd control. Regardless, BG3 is not an optimization puzzle. An all-ranged team is completely viable, as is an all-melee one.

These are time-proven roles that have existed since the mid-70's before you and I were even born. There's a reason why the first four origin characters you meet are the canon perfect group comp: Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, Rogue.

The reason is to ease new players into a natural, well-rounded party. That doesn't contradict what I said. Among these classes, the Rogue (or Rogue-adjacent) role is not at all essential, which immediately disproves the notion that a rigid team composition is necessary. Every class can use scrolls, which helps bridge the gap between martials and spellcasters that usually exists in D&D. You could play four Champions and completely steamroll the game, even on Honor difficulty.

My point was that consumable arrows existing, titanstring bow existing, and fighter's core features means Arcane Archer is good no matter what. It could get no subclass features at all and it would still shit out damage with 3 attacks per turn, action surge, strength mod to damage, and special arrows.

Wyll and karlach dump you upon entering the camp when the party starts. Here's an even better one. Tell Minthara about it, go to the mountain pass, come back and she will be gone and the goblins will make the grove their new home. You might need to long rest during this I'm not sure.

it's perfectly viable, you can either go a bow build with the sharpshooter feat or a regular melee build with a dex weapon, the former build does way more damage than the latter, make sure to have shadowheart in your party to cast bless on you and laezel to be more likely to hit your enemies

It's okay, but ideally any fighter build will want strength anyway. Keep in mind there are elixirs that set your strength to 21 and last until long rest. So those can be substitute for normal strength.
>don't want to have two fighters doing the same thing
Just get different subclasses. Like Battlemaster for PC and Eldritch Knight for Laezel.

There are a few time-sensitive quests that will fail if you take too long to complete them - this can range from a single long rest to several. When you come across a quest where time is of the essence, it'll generally be pretty obvious. Aside from that, you can rest as often as you like, and the world will only progress when you reach important checkpoints.

There's an area in the first act of the game where some buildings are on fire. If you discover that place and go back to camp with your entire party (not even long resting) time will progress and anyone caught in the fires will die. I think that's the only part of the game where that happens, other places are time-sensitive for rescues. The game will warn you when a story beat will lock you out of any quests you can still do

I have arranged with the duergar pair nearby to kill him, I've found the explosives, etc. But when I blow the debris and Nere gets out battle starts and everyone gang up on me (Nere AND all the duergar). Aren't some of them supposed to help me fight Nere due to our arrangement or something?

>dex Eldritch Knight
That would not be great. EK doesn't give benefits for bows, so we're using melee.
Your option 1 would be building around booming blade -> attack spam. For this you would want Great Weapon Master feat which only works for weapon that can be two-handed. And finesse weapon (i.e. the ones that scales from dex) are usually one-handed. There are a couple of exceptions, but your pool of viable weapons would be tiny.
Option 2 would be building around throwing your weapon. For this you'd want Tavern Brawler feat and it scales from strength.
>Arcane Archer
This one is fine. But it would also need str, because the most damaging bow scales from both dex and str. Also you would need int so your special arrow effects would not get resisted. Meaning you will have to compensate a lot of stats with equipment and elixirs.
>I also don't wanna min-max shit
Then going warlock is 100% the best choice. This is a very easy class to build.

I can't tell whether the TES-tier crime system adds to the charm of BG3 or if it's too immersion-breaking.

Melee EK is very good, yes. Archer just goes above and beyond because ranged is generally superior to melee, titanstring bow exists, consumable arrows are busted, and piercing damage benefits from bhaalist armor in act 3. Even without any of that melee EK is still a martial with 3 attacks, action surge, booming blade, low level wizard spells for utility (shield, longstrider, hold person, etc.) and the ability to use and abuse scrolls for higher level spells. You can easily get arcane synergy for Int mod to damage and arcane acuity, too.

It's pretty crazy that Mizora publicly attempts to murder a grand duke and no one says anything. She faces no repercussions at all.

It was also a very unlawful thing to do. You're supposed to nickle and dime mortals with the fine print that they sign, you're not supposed to just shoot from the hip murdering people for no reason other than your warlock actually got out of his pact with you so you murder his father out of spite.

Mizora is legitimately a terrible devil. At least Raphael follows the devil rules of conduct, for the most part.

If you don't collect any Nightsong points, her default decision is to murder aylin and become a justiciar. So she is evil under the dnd rulebook. She would blip on a paladin's Detect Evil sonar, and they would smite her, and the Smite Evil spell would gain it's extra damage dice. For all mechanical purposes, she is evil, because of her default desire to become a justiciar and serve Shar.

However, she does seem happier when the player does intervene to stop her, so I like to think she's not really evil on the inside. The cult went through a lot of effort to make her think she wanted to be a justiciar. So it's more complicated than just her being evil. In other words, if the player makes her touch grass, she actually breaks out of her evil bullshit, but without them, she chooses to be evil. So it's up to you to decide what that means.

There was an unnatural wave of hype and praise for this during the initial and mysteriously rushed release window, where (presumably real) people gushed over something that wasn't really worth it, and then it all just stopped overnight.

If you're a charisma class a 2 level dip in Paladin is all you need. The 6 levels total for the Aura is a plus but you don't NEED it, you just need 2 levels for Divine Smite and more levels in a full caster (Bard, Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid, Cleric) for better spell slots for stronger smites.
What you do is you go into the reactions menu and toggle on smite on hit and smite on critical hit for all spell slot levels. Then you use a flourish and can choose to smite on it which is better than casting Divine Smite in all scenarios. At least that's how I assume it works because I've never tried Smite Bard despite having done a half dozen playthroughs already.

Here's some knowledge about that gnome bomb you can use for future playthroughs: If you detach a party member before meeting her, they won't be dragged into conversation and you can stealth your way to the barrel and steal it mid conversation. If they try to suicide then it just fails. If you do this and pass the conversation checks you can get both the barrel and the vial.

I look up "larian lies" and I get nothing but hit after hit after hit, the prevailing narrative among real gaming communities is they lied repeatedly and hijacked an IP they didn't build to make DOS3 but actually garner interest in it this time. They say on early access funds developing at a snail's pace for years until they creditors forced the release so they could start recouping their losses, so they slammed together a broken fanfic tier "game" that is still a broken piece of shit today, and used bots to foment the impression of hype and interest that we can NOW see was hollowed out and actually amounted to a few thousand players global. And yes I'm aware they used crunch labor all over the world to do most of the lift for them, including sending Russia workers to Thailand even during a ban on doing business with Russia which is illegal, but they're still a Belgish studio, hiring temps in India to shill your game and temps in Russia to make it doesn't relocate the studio.

I'm sure you'd rather suck dicks, but for everyone normal the whole reason they named it Baldurs Gate 3 was because those "boomer games" were well liked and popular and they wanted to trade on that with a bait and switch, people buy Baldurs Gate 3 and they get Divine Divinity 3 instead, not a single mechanic in common, not a plot thread in common, nothing.

Finally finished the game and man, the are lot of retarded decisions in this game after Act 2.

You go from Ketheric to A FUCKING CIRCUS! Where is the real sense of urgency of Act 2?????? Nine Fingers and the pirates should be in Act 1, Cazador and Viconia should be in Act 2 and before Ketheric. Minsc appears way too late and Baldu's Gate should be destroyed by Sarevok and Gortash.

The "Army of the Absolute" is a false flag attack on the city, designed to give Gortash supreme power because his Steel Watch fends them off.

Of course he does. In the same vein that Cazador thinks he did right by Astarion.

If we want to talk about lies, the schizo contrarian said "a few thousand" when in reality bg3 still peaks at well over 100,000 players, sometimes reaching 160,000+.

Bg3's player numbers are absolutely wild for a crpg, and for them to still be reaching 160,000+ two years later is amazing. Anyone who says the game doesn't have staying power, or isn't naturally popular among players, is simply delusional, lying, or ignorant.

Still Overwhelmingly Positive on steam, still won every single goty award from every major outlet, and still won awards that normally don't even go to videogames but other award ceremonies wanted to celebrate it.

Normies who don't play videogames love it, professional reviewers loved it, the nebulous and fickle steam userbase love it, and oldschool grognards who have been playing crpg and ttrpg for 20+ years like myself love it. It's one of the few universally acclaimed games from all angles.

But you know, it only has "a few thousand" players, and Swen is the devil.

I wonder if the reason why Duke Stelmane was controlled by the Emperor was because they were genuinely good friends until he tried to convince her to eat tadpoles.

She had a stroke.. so it makes me think she's predisposed to ill health. When she reacts badly he accidentally vegetables her and he regrets that.

So when it comes to the player he remembers the past failure to win Stelmane over and tries to coax the player more gently, shows himself as a hero to try and get do gooders to help him, shows vulnerability to try and get the player to protect him, he shows himself as the just side. Sex to try and tie the player to him as well. It's all very calculated.

If controlling other people is so easy, why doesn't he do it and instead goes to all that effort? I think the simplest answer is that he is lonely and sees his past self in the player which is why he takes the player as a protege and tries to tempt with the squid path. Also, having other squids around who have chosen to help you is bound to be safer than just being alone because they are very strong.

I think the reason why he's called Emperor is because he really is a queen bee. He thinks that he is independent and free but acts just like an illithid and a person would. A queen bee who is NOT LIKE OTHER ILITHIDS trying to start a new hive of followers just like other ilithids. A lonely person who wants friends and company and loves so called free thinkers but is a huge hypocrite who wants everyone to freely think just like him and can't tolerate opinions that he sees threatens him.

Her stroke was after, the game implies it was partially due to her fighting him all the time in her mind.
He goes on and on about how they were partners, but that was only at first, and he omits the part where eventually he just mind controls her. It's one of his lies by omission that he leaves out when he says he never lies.

But it is the reason why he tries to trick you, instead of just mind controlling you. He already had that not work, and if you had a stroke, or fought off his control and turned against him for it, he would be in trouble. So he did the most logical thing, which was the smoke and mirrors sympathy game.

My guess is that the Emperor is actually not capable of controlling you, either because it takes away too much focus from siphoning off Orpheus or ironically can not do it because Orpheus' power also prevents him, as a squid, from mind controlling people.

He couldn't control Orpheus' honorguard, what makes you think he could control you?
My guess is that it's mostly an empty threat on his part, as in
>don't piss off the hand that protects you
And hopes you don't call his bluff.
>>534440994
>When you meet Raphael in the brothel he is spot on word for word.
Eh, Raphael implies the Emperor wants to take control of the Brain, which is untrue because you need to convince the Emperor to take control off the brain.
His initial plan is also that he consumes Orpheus, not that you become a squid, he only offers that once you signal that you do not trust him with the stones.

Emperor wants you to become a squid but Raphael's assumption that the only way to get out of this without becoming ghaik unless you free Orpheus is incorrect.

The Emperor also doesn't suffer idiots. I really strongly think that what he wants is independently thinking illithids who are made in his mould. Everything he does is trying to push the player into certain decisions, decisions that he probably once made to become the person that he became.

If he has a mule, he might survive this encounter. But if he builds his own hive, he can counter other threats and even invites the player if they turn an ilithid. In that case, there's now multiple ilithids out there and he can spread his influence. It seems that he wants the company of more squids and is not just content with this small box that he has.

Cleric does get to pretend to be part martial depending on the subclass, and Death is one of those since it gets martial weapons, divine strike, and a channel divinity for extra damage on melee.
But the important part to remember is that you get to PRETEND to be PART martial. You can't just go in swinging all the time like a real martial class, you have to play like an actual hybrid. Put up a concentration spell like Spirit Guardians, then walk in and smack shit on your next turn. Now you're doing consistent AoE damage, creating difficult terrain, and getting bonus damage on your melee attack through your subclass features. You get to preserve spell slots by not casting every single turn and with the divine strike and channel divinity damage (not to mention Larian's busted homebrew itemization) your melee should be outdoing your cantrips since Death domain doesn't get the potent cantrips feature.

Halfling Luck stacks with Advantage to ridiculously good effect. It is hands down the best racial ability in the game especially since Larian decided to make critical fails apply to all d20 rolls and not just attacks.
Anonymous No.534473782
>>534471865
Well, with honour mode nerfs to extra attack stacking you can pretend slightly better. Plus availability of titan strength elixirs makes it easy to have high spellcasting stat and still get decent attack bonuses from strength.
Though I believe it's only worth swinging the weapon as tempest domain cleric, because they don't get any cantrip boosts.

Since I found someone else playing Rogue, I wanted to know if you're going pure or if you took (or plan to take) a dip anywhere. Right now I'm pure for the sake of feats but I've been wondering if I should take a swarmkeeper dip in Act 3 when levels are less restricted assuming the bees proc on melee hits.
Anonymous No.534487246 >>534490941

Rogue feels like one of those classes where you either take 3 levels or 11 levels.
I think a 1 level dip into Fighter is really worth it, because it gets you medium armor (Yuan-Ti, later on the Armour of Agility) and a fighting style. Archery if you're ranged, dueling if you're rapier/Phalur Aluve player, TWF otherwise.
Level 11 is when Rogue gets Reliable Talent, so I'm not a huge fan of multiclassing more than 1 level. Reliable Talent lets you auto-pass the first 3 checks for Greater Invis, so you get 3 rounds of uninterrupted Sneak Attack outside of combat. Odds are high you pass the 4th check too. Just precast GI and walk up and start stabbing. Have the Bhaalist Armor on, and you basically guaranteed take out 3 targets before the fight even starts.

Yeah but if I'm reading this right, for 3 levels in Ranger you get an extra 3d6 if your target is marked by Hunter's Mark. 1 from the Mark, 1 from the passive Prey's Scent, and 1 from the bees. You lose out on the ability to score a minimum of 10 on ability checks though but it sounds like it's worth considering assuming they all work on melee attacks.

Right, but you need to spend your bonus action constantly reapplying Hunter's Mark to people. And the bees only do their damage 1x/rnd, though that's still nice. And the damage is non-magical, so a bunch of act 3 bosses will resist it
I could see it being good if you were Thief 9/Swarm 3, because you have the extra bonus action. I don't think it's a bad multiclass at all. 3d6 on the burst class is pretty good

They gave her a bunch of items that have bonuses for gith only to compensate for the fact that she doesn't have any special origin abilities. Soulbreaker greatsword in act 1 and the silver sword of the astral sea are some good ones, and there's a headband that 1d4's people who you make a save against.

Gale's unique buff is kind of lame, and Shart's is also not that amazing either. Happy and Soul Branding are pretty good though.

I'm currently Swashbuckler but I was considering Thief in Bhaalist Armour for that build, plus the Risky Ring so that even if I were out of invisibility I'd have advantage. Though I could just have someone else concentrate on Greater Invisibility. The other problem sadly is that you have to concentrate on the Mark so you can't use Invisibility OR Pass without Trace by yourself.

Anons I think I'm about to enter act 2. I did the Underdark and Grymforge until the elevator, then turned back and went to the mountain pass, the monastery and everything.

Now, should I continue back from the elevator or going to the shadowlands exiting the pass? I heard that the former is for good characters and the latter for evil ones...?
Any advice?

If you did the bossfight with grym and have the fancy adamantine items then I like to go back to the mountain pass and do that next, then when I'm done with the monastery I go to act 2 through the mountain pass. It's not actually very different since the exit from grymforge and the exit from the Mtn pass are on the same eastern side of the shadowlands map, one is just more north of the other. The closest one to the cultist caravan is the mtn pass, it's only a few seconds walk. The grymforge one is more north and is closer to last light inn, but I think going with the caravan is the cooler intro imo. It gives you a unique scene, while the other path you just wander into last light inn.
Anonymous No.534498650 >>534498814
always go through creche entrance to moonrise.
i just realized this, but using the elevator from grym, there would be no clear route from here to the small area where the absolutists are.
the only path to go from there is through that one area with the harpers ambush, so you end up missing a small chunk of cutscene where you kill or deceive the absolutist to come with you.
imo better to come with them and then you either fuck with the harpers or the absolutist, or do what i did, fuck them both.
you can also speedrun and go through the moonrise towers, to unlock all the vendors on day 1 and then recruit minthara for longer playtime with her.
you also get a different/extra conversation once you get to moonrse and meeting jahaira and isobel.

one extra attack from a gwm user would be better than most actions but bonus actions in this game let you do plenty like stealth (if you have a thief dip) jump drink a potion (could go invis) or even throw if you picked barb in fact throwing barb with a dip in thief would go hard with a third bonus action
again stop pretending your fake haste is balanced just because its a bonus action its fine to use crazy shit so long as you own up to it not pretend its underpowered like true strike

This is why I avoid optimizing my bonus actions for more attacks or running two-weapon fighters. As soon as my bonus action becomes an extra attack I stop using consumables like potions and poisons and they clog my inventory for the rest of the game, I ignore bonus action class features, hardly ever use bonus action illithid powers, etc. because none of it really measures up to the much more boring option of another weapon attack.
The game is too easy to justify optimizing for, it's more fun when you build for versatility instead and start trying to find new ways to approach obstacles rather than breaking everything down into the same win initiative, stack damage bonuses, swing until everything is dead for 100 hours routine.

Slurs and loaded terms ("half-devil") aren't about being technical or precise - they're meant to belittle or ridicule.

Wrong, absolute majority of tieflings don't have any devil ancestor actually, but one or two plane touched mortals. And is not a guarantee they will always be tieflings because of this plane touched ancestors, think of it as recessive genes

If wyll were to have kids with a mortal some would probably be tieflings even tho he never banged a devil

They're just different races entirely, really. The 2e tiefling idea was mortals that were fucked by some kind of outer planar influence, and that manifsted with weird mutated features. There was a table you could roll on to determine your physical characteristics and it included shit like sharp teeth, scales, extra digits on your hands/feet, hooves, smelling like sulphur, etc. Just a weird mutant race because they one way or the other got exposed to extra-planar shit, either through earlier ancestry or otherwise.
Later editions completely retooled Tieflings into a race of people fucked over by Asmodeus or with specifically devil ancestry depending on exactly what game you're playing.

Good thing tieflings are a player race, while cambions are either NPCs or mid-level enemies. Tieflings actually looking infernal-touched makes them more unique, not less. It also explains the distrust and oppression they face. It wouldn't be logical for humans to treat them as outsiders if they all looked like Doric in that D&D movie.

Honestly the moment Tiamat is mentioned in anything any of the lore that follows is guaranteed to be dumb and completely out of character for dragons.
Imagine being a hormone fueled adolescent red dragon, with it coded into your dna that you are a more prideful and arrogant being than literal devils, and letting some hideous human frogs ride on your back like a common horse because your imaginary sky mom that you've never seen and probably have never realistically had any chance to learn about (if you somehow even did care about religion) said that your ancestors a billion years ago had to.
