Did namefag rope in the past week?

I just started playing. I just met Asterion and I already hate this guy's guts. First opportunity I had to slug him I did. I really hope this guy gets better or he's staying at camp for the rest of the game.

>>1160176 Why didn't you just kill him?

everyone is just busy playing the game r-right?

>>1164951 Totally hon

>>1158401 none of the new classes look interesting besides bee ranger and giant barb

>>1168528 Was thinking the same looking at the abilities

>>1164951 I am. I also have thousands of hours into the game and I've been playing it for the better part of the decade anon, you already know that I'm going to say that I enjoy it. If you want any news I can gladly inform you that the velociraptor poses in camera mode can easily get very suggestive.

>last major update >still no companion durgebros.................

>>1168528 path of giants and bladesinging a little underwhelming so far

i wouldnt mind getting murdered by durge

BG3 threads just aren't the same without the recent schizo...

>>1164951 The wait for the patch was so long I now have a backlog of nearly-finished games...

I love the Toll the Dead cantrip, finally shart can actually hit something using a cantrip and deal at least some damage. I just hate the flavor with the whole bell and "this spell reminds you that you're going to die! Take necrotic damage!", just kind of dumb.

I'm playing a death cleric. I like it thematically but I'm not sure how I want to build it. The double casting cantrips gimmick is neat but then the rest of the features are about adding necro damage to your melee. Do I just go to 6 to bypass necro resistance and then multiclass with a melee class for an extra attack? >>1170206 I kinda wish I had just made shart the death cleric and played something as as my main. Cleric doesn't feel right as an mc class for me.

For roleplay, should I go for the new sorcerer or a death cleric? Which has the most/best unique dialog?

>>1170161 cute frog

What's the most fun class to play without having to rely on shit like spellslots and similar finite charges that require constant resting? I've played open hand monk and only used the ki points on bosses, otherwise having 4 attacks per turn with two bonus actions from thief was pretty nice.

>>1170539 Warlock and just go full eldritch blast spam. Throw tavernbrawl barbarian is pretty fun, and you get enough rage charges to not really worry about it. And the new giant barbarian makes that even better.

>>1170628 Yeak I'm thinking about using the kick barb. But he still needs rage for any of his attacks to do anything early game.

>patch releases >have since lost all interest in playing due to the wait did the at least tweak Drunken Master before they released it so it isn't shit?

>>1168528 This mod https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/15870? with an unarmed build is very fun. At the very least, it gives you an unarmed option without kung-fu flavor, fits quite well with Durge as well.

>>1169903 You’re also not going to see any of the pork flavored retardation here because of thread IDS

I always wanted /bgg/ to be slow, maybe not this slow but with a little more activity and a lot less schizos it could be p comfy

>>1175797 Good news, mods/jannies take thread derailment seriously just report schizos if they’re acting up and they’ll get dealt with.

>>1170206 >"this spell reminds you that you're going to die! Take necrotic damage!", just kind of dumb. I just assume that since I'm a death domain cleric I'm probably a Kelemvor fag, so I'm most likely taxing the undead for what's basically post-life evasion and offering the dying some permium line skipping deals for the City of the Dead at the cost of a slighly faster death. >Captcha expired/flood detected! what I just woke up and hit enter bro why.

Is that the game with the gays and all?

>>1177197 only if you play it anon

In case anyone here is from /crpg/ we have set up camp here https://8chan.moe/vg/res/2810.html#2810

>>1168528 If you are a pack of the blade enjoyer hexblade is some of the most fun I´ve had with the class

>>1178099 Sadly, Great Old One is necessary for my Dark Justiciar crit build, so I can't avoid the 3 level dip...

>>1158401 >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. <Shit advice. You miss out on the best sex scene in recent history of non-porn video games.

>>1178026 with how low traffic things are its better if we absorbed /crpg/ for now

Throne of Baal was such a great ending to the series. I'm glad they ended it there. I'm glad they didn't do like Fallout and let some 2nd rate developer make an unneeded sequel years later.

>>1178288 Stupid frogniggers should be seen and not heard

>>1178694 /bgg/ is currently three times larger than /crpg/. it is foolish to struggle in your 4 id thread

>>1178799 No by all means continue to be a retard

>>1178838 you don't have to believe me for it to be true

>>1178891 We don’t NEED to absorb them, they can have their slow thread for games that are a bit more advanced than DnD 5e.

what's the current status on BG3 custom campaigns? any cool overhaul mod? is it just me because I fumbled with a mod or did they mess some tool tips with patch 8?

>>1179133 modders take time to update their mods, just been playing vanilla for the last couple days

>>1179133 Most news I see about bg3 custom campaigns seems to stim from tiktok. I haven't saved any of it but I know at the bare minimum 3 larger scale mods were being worked on. >>1179815 stupid frog

My tavern brawler barb/fighter revolved around throwing everything and everyone be, I don’t really understand what path of giant does new?

>>1170224 You could dip into spore Druid for zombies.

>>1180033 it lets you throw as a small race manlets finally get to rise up

Anyone know what happened to the /crpgg/ general? There was one one the sharty, but it got moved from board to board before being forced on /g/ which was then locked I haven't seen it since. Does anyone know which altchan and board it is on, if any?

>>1180675 see >>1178026 that thread is dead entirely, proves that /crpg/ was filled with boomers who can't into alt chans

>>1180702 It's more than people are busy with family during Easter and playing roles..... And /vg/ is an obscure board even on the site. I found the thread on soyjack party day 1, but you probably know how that one went. I think it would uironically work better to start another thread on there and posting a link to it on 8chan. I prefer this site, don't misunderstand, but that place clearly has more of our userbase, somehow. The thread on there got 30+ replies in a day before being locked. Which is slow as fuck, but at least alive.

>>1180780 what would compel one to go to the site that brought down your home in the first place

>[Oath of Devotion] *Recite the words of your Oath.* >Honesty. Don't lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise. >Courage. Never fear to act, though caution is wise. >Compassion. Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom. >Honor. Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm. >Duty. Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you.

>>1180813 Because people went there precisely because it took down 4chan, so everyone had heard of it. And activity is king, nothing else matters. So I went there first to regroup and to check iwhere different generals went, or were planning on going.

>audio support now nice >>1180883 >playing right into the enemies' hand dunno about that one chief

>>1180893 It also has no captcha I've had to solve 7+ of them just to make 4 posts in this thread. And they often fail even when I type them correctly.

>Baldur's Gate General >it's just Bald Gay 3 general, the shittiest one of them all, made by some fucking retard gorilla nigger faggot who's primary draw is obsessing over his fuck ugly waifu in his garbage woke game that should not exist Your mother will always be a fat ugly nigger fucking whore OP.

>built in filter option schizos hate this one simple trick!

>>1158401 shadowheart

GALE NO!

Even though this is my fourth playthrough I'm still running into a bunch of dialog I haven't seen, but that could be because my first three were right around launch so I haven't even seen the new epilogues and such yet. Only one I haven't changed to the new subclass is Gale because if Wyll's being a melee warlock then Gale gets to be a dedicated dress-wearer. Also trying custom difficulty to enable the new spells/items/abilities/etc from honor/tactics/whatever but leave it at vanilla stats so AC's not quite as bad, feels like a good sweet spot for being a casual retard. Photo mode's been good so far too even if it's a mild shame you can't move around non-party members and I noticed it does the Cyberpunk think of making all kids vanish so no heroically saving a kid from harpies and taking a pic

she's talking about me isn't she

ded game ded general

>want to play bg3 with frens >can never finish with them >keep resetting >never finish game

Curbstomp the frog

>>1170206 >>1170224 TTD seems to do well at lower levels, wonder if it scales well. Has anyone tried it with the gloves that lets you double cast cantrips?

>>1180780 Not a general but this thread has some good discussion going you should try there. https://8chan.moe/v/res/1182777.html#q1185394

Now just another few months until my mods are updated then I can finally play through BG3 without something to break my saves

Booming Blade Swashbuckler is fun, but unfortunately it doesn't work half as well as it does in tabletop. >Larian read Fancy Footwork wrong and you have to hit to get the AOO immunity from it, when it's always a free disengage in tabletop, even if you miss >So far, it seems that enemies have zero tactical sense for Booming Blade and will always chase you at the cost of damage, instead of trying to make a shittier ranged attack or wasting a turn It's fun to poke someone and walk away, knowing that they'll explode if they try to follow you, but it doesn't feel anywhere near as fluid as it does on pen and paper.

I love Battlemaster so much. Such a simple, straightforward, yet terrifyingly effective class.

>>1158401 how does anybody play any race in the game as a male other than like.. humans, half-elves, and elves? the PC voice is so distractingly effeminate and posh british that i CANNOT bring myself to play orcs, dragonborn, or tough warrior archetypes. it's honestly killed a big chunk of the replay value for me and it's insane to me that baldur's gate 1 (1998) had this issue solved at release. every time i want to give this game a second playthrough, i remember this and opt to pass instead because i don't want to play as a woman or a gay guy. on that note, is there any way/mod to completely mute the player character? turning off voices in the audio menu disables ALL voice callouts and i don't have a problem with any of the other characters talking.

>>1186435 I wanted to play a Dwarf character but having no bog standard fantasy scottish accent really threw me off

>>1186498 same! so many character archetypes i'd love to try out if they didn't all sound like james corden. crazy that you can choose whether your orc/dwarf is circumcized but you can't make them sound like an orc or a dwarf. i remember looking into mods for this awhile back but evidently, the way the game is programmed/has its voice lines organized is insane and requires manual edits of like ~26,000 individual lines.

I'm playing a glamour bard and that command spam is very strong... once per long rest. the bardic inspiration thing is very good for protecting the team against multiple attacks, maybe. Otherwise feels very vanilla to me.

stopped playing in act 3 like everyone else just how much better is the new patch? what is the most broken fun character to roll for now?

is there new content in the final patch? character expansions? more minthy dialogue? >>1187652 i stopped in act 3 too right at gortash because i was mad i couldnt side with him

>>1187767 i sludged through gortash's intro but got right before saving that grey dwarf cunt and just stopped caring. it felt like there was so much shit i needed to do over and over again before doing anything that it became a burden. that and i fucked up act 2 and let the druid whoreman feel big sad by doing the ghost kid event without him so i stopped caring about anything.

The final update? Did they finally finish act 3?

>>1178198 There anyway to get it on a good path?

>>1186406 how viable is eldritch knight laezel? I was thinking of doing some off the wall classes for everyone, sorlock wyll, bladesinger gale, death domain shart, etc.

>>1188107 forgot to add I guess it doesn't matter since you can reset peoples scores

>>1187844 I REALLY wish there was more content, act 1 was packed, 2 was good too but there's so much that feels incomplete. I want more minthara dialogue too I love her psychotic self awareness. I was really hoping for DLC.

>>1188107 >>1188116 Eldritch Knight Lae'zel is going to be an absolute tank in the frontline. Having Shield, Blur, and Mirror Image on a Githyanki that can Misty Step and super jump in and out of means she is going to be really hard to kill

>>1188600 idk if its just me but act 1 feels too packed. By the time I get through it all I'm just tired. Especially the early stuff leading up to the goblin camp always feels like a huge slog to me.

>>1188829 >>1188600 >>1188030 It's typical for Larian to make an entire game in the first act and just forget to do anything interesting after that. Not to mention the pacing issue of making your most visually distinct section be Act 2 and both Act 2 and 3 have a fairly short main line and mostly filler side content that could've been cut in favor of more killer content. They spent too long in Early Access catering to Discord and Reddit instead of working on the damn game. Not like Act 1 is even that good, Druid stuff is extremely boring and not worth interacting with ever. >>1187767 >i stopped in act 3 too right at gortash because i was mad i couldnt side with him But you can, though that may be Durge exclusive though.

>>1188097 <No. You have to commit a small-scale war crime to get inside the drussy. Seriously, Larian added her romance as an afterthought, she has one sex scene and that's it. You can kiss her and that's about it. I strongly believed they frontloaded the game so hard you were supposed to drop the game after the party in the end of act 1. I'm sure 90% of the players did, dropped a 5-star review and fucked off. That's the right way to play. There is no good or bad route. The only meaningful decision in the entire game is choosing between Minthara sex scene and keeping the Hazbin Hotel and Token. Entire game is meaningless other than that and how you finish the final boss fight. There's 0 reactivity.

>>1189946 Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle. What sucks even more is that one entire side of the main Act 1 conflict is boring and tedious to interact with.

>>1189946 I feel like they mixed up "evil playthrough" with "dark urge playthrough". Only problem is that an evil playthrough even as Durge is fucking dull. You just lose a bunch of quest givers and gain nothing

>>1189835 Early access seems like its just a terrible format for crpgs. It incentivizes frontloading al the best content in a genre where unfinished second halves are already extremely common. Also crpg fans have awful taste and will push for terrible decisions like making a non-character like Halsin a companion just because they're horny for him.

>>1190017 Especially when half the companions are not interesting in the slightest, adding goonbait shit just makes the cast extremely tedious as well. >characters with something going on Shadowheart Lae'zel Astarion (minus points for flamboyant gay twink elf boring ass stereotype) Minthara (minus points for blatantly unfinished, no content, shitty VO) <grating, boring, redditard shit Karlach Gale Wyll Halsin Jaheira Minsk Wonderful cast right there, two thirds are annoying at best, zero characters are bros except the lesbo granny-looking vampire elf twink. Honestly, it pains me to say it, but in terms of narrative and writing quality, BG3 is actually just Euroslop, no better than Two Worlds or Drakensang, it just has a higher budget.

>>1190072 Karlach just got shafted, her entire storyline devolves into one fetch quest, one interaction with one of the big bads and one end game choice. At least Gale gets some mechanics and events related to him.

>>1190083 True, Gale does have content, just his dialogue is annoying and entirely uninteresting. Guess that's a trend for wizard companions. The only time one was ever entertaining was Sand from NWN2.

>>1190155 Could my opinion of this Anon drop any lower? Evidently so.

Tell me about your Tav/Durge

>>1189946 Do you genuinely believe that? That dropping the game at act 1 would have you not miss anything at all? I think the main issue with seeing act 2 as "short" is that we feel like the underdark and monastery are part of act 1, when in fact it's closer to an act 1.5 that happens between 1 and 2, reinforced by the fact that you can go back and forth until you go after the Nightsong. These two regions are not really connected to the plot in any way and are just a bit of optional side quest fun either way, you can reasonably skip them entirely and go straight to act 2, you're not forced to do anything in them plot wise. And even then, Act 2 and 3 are filled with sidequests for you to do, there's interactions in all three acts that depend on your choices from earlier acts and sidequests, all of them have voice acting and animations, all of them have differing outcomes throughout the game... I genuinely do not understand. I'd agree if your issues were performance issues in Act 3, but to say there's no reason to go further than Act 1 is an absurd exaggeration. I just wish they had actually implemented more dragonborn unique dialogues prior to act 3 and more monk items. The game is woke af, that I won't deny tho. >>1190083 Karlach has soul coins and some unique interactions with her dealing fire damage in all unarmed attacks while under their effect. Her companion quest is a bit on the simpler side, though, I'll agree with that, but she gets some unique items while doing it, same as all other companions really.

>>1190356 The only connection Karlach has to the plot is her vendetta against Gortash (one scene) and her interaction with Wyll (two scenes). The rest of her scenes are either her getting angry at things or heckin wholesome emotional support. Even her Soul Coin mechanic is just to get a buff. Shame really, fembarb tiefling ex-soldier in the Blood War is a cool concept.

>>1188107 In a party setting BM is straight up the best, but in a solo run EK wins out hard due to access to shield and all the utility spells, also probably the easiest class to solo with for a first timer as after the early game you become very tanky.

>>1190385 If Karlach being connected to Gortash and Wyll is too little for the plot, then Astarion and Wyll should get the shaft as well, because Wyll has literally no connection to the main plot other than infernal influences (which is only related if you consider Raphael a part of it, and that's a huge leap because he only deals with Mizora and at most references Zariel) and Astarion is just a happy sun walking vampire because of the worm and wants to keep that way. Their only advantage in this case is that their side quests have a ton more content and interactions with real decision making, which again, I concede as a fact that karlach did fully get shafted. The other companions being related to the plot range from irrelevant (Halsin, Jaheira, Minsc), to circumstantial (Minthara was just there, Gale just cares about the Crown, Lae'zel is a Gith and Gith hate illithids) to literally cheated into the plot like in Shadowheart's case, where she's the main character all along and got the McGufin from the start, but her actual companion quest without the Astral Prism isn't even connected directly to the Absolute or worms at all, she just so happens to be connected to a tangential plot that is relevant in Act 2 and that's it.

<wow cool, 12 new subclasses >Human >Male >Fighter >Champion Yep, it's gaming time.

>>1190540 Yes, the story is a mess and the companions suck, I agree. >>1190574 Excuse me, Hexblade is kino.

>>1190072 What's wrong with Jaheira? I feel like she's the only good "reference" back to the original games they didn't completely butcher, and enjoyed having her around in general. I'd have been happy with her just as an NPC in act 2 because I think she works well there but then she actually has content in act 3 too and it's all pretty good. It'd have been better if they prioritized their original companions over her, especially for act 3 content, but I don't dislike what she got.

>>1191185 she's another fucking druid and another fucking elf

>>1189024 sceleritas is so pure, I love him. his VA is great too, we needed to hear him more

>>1191198 She was the first fucking druid (half)elf and if Larian was always planning to include her it's all the more reason they never should have bowed to reddit and made the bear a companion.

>>1190072 Lol Faggot detected

>>1190264 schizo that picks the "good" option one sentence and picks the "bad" option the next sentence

>>1190007 >deathstalker mantle >gain nothing ok retard

>>1190633 >Hexblade is kino. >Maybe I will use a longsword this time.

>>1190633 The story doesn't work because of one simple question: where are the githzerai? If an Illithid flying boat goes through one of the biggest cities in the prime material plane while being pursued by githyanki dragon riders, you can bet your ass the githzerai are going to hear of it with minutes and start crawling around. The 3 villain stooges are also awful. Orin is particularly terrible.

>>1196224 >where are the githzerai >this nigga forgot about orpheus

>>1197221 Githyanki >b-but they were doing monk shit! Doesn't matter, the game makes it clear they're githyanki, the only githzerai in the game is the severed head in the colony, and Lae'zel talks about them in the epilogue. >>1194323 >one thing vs. all the shit exclusive to good playthrough Boy oh boy!

>>1197221 >orpheus If you don't wanna be a squid or work with the fagperor is the only resolution to the game still making Orpheus or Karlach a squid?

>>1197486 The ending option is just such a fucking disappointment all around. None of the options are good unless you for some reason like the emperor. The emperor joining the brain if you tell him that maybe, just maybe, Orpheus has more than 3 brain cells and want to kill the brain as well is really funny.

>>1197486 Turn Gayle into calamari?

>>1197826 Can't you only do that if you're playing as him?

>>1197885 I misremembered.

>>1197885 You can tell him to blow himself up and kill the brain without a fight but I think you still need to squid someone before you get that far, unfortunately.

>>1197826 he can turn into a nuke

>>1198694 God it must be killing you not to spam images of that flatfaced frog.

we can change that

Post IDs really change the experience...

>>1186406 Battle Master is GOATed. It's also the true way to play a swashbuckler. Just create a DEX fighter that uses rapiers or any other versatile weapon and enjoy your 20 AC while wearing only studded leather. You can also serve as the backup party sneak or lockpicker. They also don't suffer if you need to switch over to ranged combat. I played one in an IRL tabletop campaign. They fuck, especially when you learn to wombo combo your enemies.

>used to go to old /vg/ /bgg/ to get advice >can only find it here. Still surreal that I can't go there anymore even after a week, but on the off chance that the old /bgg/ is still here; I'm gonna be playing with friends and need some advice on a build. I'm going full 12 Fighter Battlemaster using Glaives/polearms. I'm gonna use Polearm Mastery, Charger, Alert, and AI for my 4 feats. Need advice on gear that i should try and look out for.

>>1199424 Really makes it real slow. Guess everyone becomes weary about samefagging now

>>1200889 It's for the better. It actually fosters better discussion and cuts down on shitposters shitting up threads like >>>/vyt/32391 Other boards like /vt/ back on halfchan were begging for post IDs. IMO they should've been made a site wide feature.

>>1200889 That general was rife with it. I’d rather read mostly effortposts.

>>1201066 They have to rewrite 4chan from the ground up, right? Maybe there's a chance they'll incorporate new features they were too lazy to before, though I wouldn't hold my breath. I doubt people will stay here whenever it does come back though.

>>1201158 not with an actual jeet rapeape doing the work

>>1201066 >>1201089 I got an effort post here. I still need some advice. >>1199979

>>1201158 Anon. The Jannies loathe you for posting there why do you think they let schizoposting dominate threads? Leave your abusive relationship from that stupid ugly bitch Clover.

>>1199979 I went Sorrow from the grove to Skinburster at the creche to Harmonious Halberd from lastlight

>>1199979 I like the gauntlets you get from Dror Ragzlin for early gear. That and Auntie’s Orange Fanta potions.

>>1199184 BIG CUMS FOR FROG >>1201066 Post ID is pretty nice. Even though I'd like to think "Yeah man, post free, POST FREE" I always underestimate the lengths people go for (You)s or to promote a waifu or whatever the fuck else >>1201179 Not sure you really need much advice. Big whackin' fighter is already straightforward and good gear for it should be obvious when it appears. In fact I don't think polearms/heavy armor are too hidden so you're less likely to miss good ones. Off the top of my head I think the merchant in the tower in act 2 sells a pretty decent halberd (Good for when you get it, though there is better in act 3) so that's an argument for sneaking someone in to do business rather than kicking the door down and rolling for initiative, and the adamantium forge armor would probably keep you covered until act 3 when you can probably find better

>>1201210 I can't believe I almost posted >"NTA" on a website with fucking post IDs, but I feel like it's easier to say that it's just not the same. I don't miss schizos in threads, but I predominately miss everything being in their nice little boxes. Going to /a/ to see gossip on new animu episodes and mango chapter dumps, and then going to /v/ or /vg/ to discuss or ask about a game I'm currently playing. Perhaps it is just stockholm syndrome. Perhaps this place is better in a lot of way. But it's not the same. >>1201265 >>1201294 Mostly looking for endgame advice. We'll be playing Honor so things are gonna get fucky and I want to make sure I can keep my own.

>>1201364 It’s been awhile since I’ve felt like playing Act 3 don’t remember sorry.

>>1199979 Based polearm chad. Look out for the (pun unintended) Unseen Menace. Very strong, cool looking, and you can get it as early as Act 1. I used to larp as Ornstein from Dark Souls and had my Fighter chug colossus elixirs and enlarge spells to be a vengeful spear-wielding titan on the battlefield

What's up with Lae'zel's new stance anyways

>>1201412 What's so good about it?

>>1201442 Can't say I've seen her doing that, even before I made her an archer >>1201492 It's invisible as long as you keep hitting, which means you get advantage on your attacks, so you roll twice and keep the better result. So you hit a whole hell of a lot more

>>1201492 It being invisible means it always has advantage on attack.

>>1201492 grants advantage (the single biggest increase in chance to hit) due to invisibility

>>1201518 >>1201525 >>1201527 that's bretty fuckin good. If I change out charger for what, great weapon fighter i could do a lot a damage

>>1201518 i thought it was the bladesinger stance but my headcanon is lae'zel copying gale

>>1201893 I love Lae'zel's chuuni poses.

So how's the new Paladin subclass? Is it actually worth using or is it just another example of Ancient/Vengeance being the only good ones?

>>1160176 he's a gigantic faggot in fact all the men are just kill them all

>>1199979 Just get to act 3 and get the trident and delete everything while barely paying attention

What kind of person would pick the third option after she lies to your face

>>1203392 3 feels more like someone trying not to ruffle any feathers in the party, 2 feels more like the gullible pussy answer imo

is this true or kiwis are goofing off i dont remember seeing a single trans child in the game

Im using the mods from rpghq but i think one of the gigachud modder fucked up the voice options because theres only one option for both genders now so that kind of sucks but everything else is nice

>>1203770 From what I remember the only tranny in the game is Shadowheart's friend. They got an actual tranny to play him too.

The modding experience on console has basically blackpilled me to never play a future Larian game on it. Bad enough getting a fraction of the nexus mods, but also a fraction of a fraction of that through the dumb appeal system. And with patch, it's a fraction of THAT with how much shit broke. I just want to shake up my replays.

>>1203990 >on console

>>1203990 >on console

>>1204004 >>1204015 Yeah, that's right. CONSOLE. Living arrangements can't accommodate for a whole PC setup right now (father or sister overindulged on how many fucking cabinets and drawers a house needs).

I'm gonna take the Eldritch Knightpill. I've been running Battlemasters for almost every single one of my runs and I want to try it at least once.

>>1158401 Just finished my first Durge run. Was alright I thought about reloading a few hours back to re-do the Orin fight and keep the Bhaal influence, but honestly I think I'm just kinda done with the game for the time being. Act 3 saps a lot out of you Hadn't used a Gloomstalker Ranger build before but had that on Ascended Astarion and holy fuck it was insanely OP. Was halfway through Act 2 when the update came out and didn't feel like respeccing everyone, but I used the new Fighter subclass and it was kinda fun. I do like the gear progression of Act 3 a lot and how absurdly OP you get with all of it, but the ending always leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Though seeing the evil ending was kinda neat. Just gonna youtube the rest of the endings. 4 playthroughs and 380 hours of playtime, and I'm ready to drop the game for the long-foreseeable future. Will keep an eye on whatever Larian makes next in like, 2028.

>>1199979 You might already know there's a sweetspot where you can get off an opportunity attack while a non-polearm melee npc is just out of range of attacking and is forced to move, activating your reaction. For this same situation, riposte isn't quite necessary, at least early on, since you need an opponent's attack to miss for it to proc. This all goes out the window with larger opponents, though. Also consider +1 def over great weapon fighting, since polearms dmg die tend to roll higher. You'll want all the ac you can get. Never tried the charger perk, but i guess the idea's to use the weapon attack to move out of range w/o activating opportunity attacks? >>1201364 There's a pair of gauntlets sold by a halfling merchant in Wyrm's Crossing that gives +1 to attack rolls and disadvantage to who you're targeting your maneuvers with. Also in case your buddies stole all the good weapons, respeccing for Dancing Breeze (a finesse weapon you get from a (((lizard merchant))) prior to reaching the bridge) frees up Alert. You can pivot to a multistriking assassin via its whirlwind move t. haven't played since patch 6

>>1197754 I soyfaced when he did that cause I was telling my co-op buddy we couldn't trust him, yet he kept saying we could trust the Emperor.

What mod setup for the ultimate goon playthrough? Are we skyrim level yet?

The game would be so much better if it wasn't held back by 5e. Could have just used a refined version of their divinity system with more set in stone classes (as opposed to literally being able to learn anything and everything) instead of this rest spam bullshit slop full of boring ass nothingburger spells. Nothing in this game has any impact besides Eldritch Blast and that's only because of it's really neat visual, nothing feels like it's ever worth the spell slot you used to cast it. The best way of playing the game shouldn't be finding a way to buff yourself and cheese advantage pre-fight so you can guarantee your resources aren't wasted with misses. DnD without the actual tabletop and imagination is just shit. Any other RPG style system would have been better.

>>1205583 Anon, even in the tabletop DND5e is shit, the only system actually worth playing for the gameplay and turn-to-turn combat is Pathfinder 2e with a homebrew that allows you to regenerate spell slots somehow, because vancian is super gay yes I'm serious, PF2e fucking murdered casters by having them be the only ones that care about resting at the same time that they're barely stronger than martials, the martial-to-caster advantage in numbers does not justify the unfun mechanic of long resting. This is an old and antiquated system that should have been moved away from a long time ago. Just be sure to make it so your casters can't keep casting their highest spell slot every turn and you're safe in balance.

>>1205760 The way Divinity OS2 did it was cooldown based, but that game had it's own issues like every character just running the same OP bullshit meta toolkit like adrenaline, skin graft, apotheosis, etc.

Play the homebrew mod Much better than Larian's garbage https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/9052

>the nog lies to you about his sending stone eye guess who's dying next

>>1205887 make him dance like a fairy first

>>1203770 They're either flagged, voiced, or named incorrectly for their gender.

>>1205786 I like DOS2. But meta is kind of unavoidable. What I mean by most satisfying with PF2e is that all of your actions are impactful, and there's enough build expression for you to do a lot of different things in different ways. In contrast with 5e which is very samey, limited, and unbalanced to boot. You can barely get a poison build going in this game, for God's sake. Divinity almost allows you a lot of freedom and wiggle room, and your actions are cool to use, but yes, the meta choices stick out a lot, and some bad options are stifling. Example: it's really really hard to be a magical trickster that hits with daggers and uses a few spells in divinity. You just can't, you'll spread too thin in stats and just be bad at everything, and you'll be targeting both physical and magical shield at the same time with lower damage. Obviously a horrible choice, which is why the magical trickster usually only gets the buffs from their favorite Theurgy and some utility here and there that hopefully scales with dex that you stack sky high with polymorph points.

Showing you guys my dead body collection. Kinda need them since I raise zombies all the time. No dead tiefling storage because it was a "good" playthrough.

>>1205848 actually? or just memeing cause some of it looks ok and the rest looks like bloat/for the sake of it.

Doing my second playthrough and decided that I am actually going to go full retard and join with the goblins. But seems doing so forces me to spend the night the dark elf during the party and Shadowheart is drunk and wont have the usual night event for the romance anyway. Does that mean that that route is just busted? Kind of wanted to do that too on my second actual evil playthrough (first one was good Durge) and have her kill the nightsong and all that too

>go human >go fighter >go battle master >dump mental stats and pump physical stats >use mod that adds higher enchantment versions of the existing katana >end the game with the agility armor, legacy gloves, persistent boots, balduran helm, AC cloak, and the protection ring Aw yeah, fuck the Samurai subclass mod.

Anyone else watching joseph anderson playing the game?

>>1206933 who

>>1206530 Actually. I'll send you my modlist and instructions on how to install in 2 hours

>>1206801 You don't have to fuck Minthara, it's just the only real reason to bother genociding the grove because it's the only way to get her scene and you lose a fuckton of content otherwise. You can turn her down, or you can even have sex with her and Astarion or Lae'zel whose events don't get locked off by hers. You can still do Shadowheart's event by getting her approval up enough to choose to spend a night together in normal dialogue, just not at the tiefling party, and you should be able to do that even after the party event so long as you do it before you go to act 2, or maybe before you go to the mountain pass just to be safe. I think you can still get Gale's event too if you convince him to stay, the only romances totally blocked by the goblin party are obviously Karlach and Wyll because they'll leave no matter what.

>>1206933 literally who?

>>1201066 It's like I'm in constructive forums again instead of getting blasted with fake number screenshots from twitter every waking hour. I can post about stuff, get answered or ignored, then move on to other topics or retake that topic with a new, fresh intent if I really want to talk about it. gets the brain to work a bit instead of just watching some clown set himself on fire and eat chips for the xth time then before tabbing back and forth to/from the game because said clown is literally replying to himself for 10 years straight and you think someone is talking about the game. slow posting is helping me exercise and play better, it's great.

>>1213399 Its nice to have a thread about certain games without a single schizo derailing the entire thing

>>1213438 I wonder what the BG3 schizo is even doing now that halfchan is down. Hopefully he's dead.

>>1214214 Which one?

>>1214343 the one who insists that shadowheart is monogamous

>>1214731 Only worthless niggers cuckpost

>>1214888 >OP >frogfag >most posts in the thread >cuckposter really makes you think

>ass sisters can't into 8chan >gale sisters can't into 8chan >sharties responsible for the hack >frogchad starts the thread to gather the diaspora to discuss the new patch >out of nowhere seething about the namefag i just think that's interestin!

>>1215318 it’s the autistic nigger that would sperg about honesty while fellating the namefag.

>>1215392 This bit worked better when you could pretend you weren’t calling yourself a chad.

>>1215553 here's the funny thing: doesn't matter if there's an id or name: what i said was still true

The ID really helps reinforce what a seething faggot you are tho

>>1215675 You can be confident and wrong. Look at slopfag and his hanger on from 4vg.

>>1214343 I'm talking about the tencent bg3 schizo-fag. motherfucker spent an entire year in delusion and denies the games success to this day.

>>1217151 i think i saw him or someone pretending to be him in the sharties

>>1217177 >gives free revenue to gook moot for years in exchange of being the village clown >now gets to be outright farmed like cattle in what's basically a noisy live poultry market lmao at those shitposters. Any new retarded or broken class combo from the new patch?

>>1217401 Giant barb is another way to play taverbrawler barb, which is just as broken as it's always been.

>>1217467 I am not happy that giant form + giant barb rage just bumps your height up a few centimeters. That's not how Huge Size looks like

>>1217401 don't know about being OP but bladesinger feels like EK but good. giant barb feels like throwzerker but good. arcane archer feels like a good ranger class

If I wanted to do "everyone in their default class but new subclass" mode who would the most fun party be? I was thinking Shart and Astarion but not sure on my third, Lae'zel or Karlach? And what about my character? Was thinking monk but hexblade sounds fun too, and I don't want to use Wyll.

i’m back

>>1218750 >not sure on my third Giant Karl had been extremely fun in my most recent playthrough. Having her as a giant barbarian with tavern brawler means she's a pack mule that hurls objects and enemies around to great effect. >And what about my character? Shadow sorc for a charisma caster MC is good. BS wizard or hexblade for gish style if that's your thing. Bees ranger if you want to play a martial that specializes in movement.

>>1218750 I'm doing gayle, frog and minty >ass dead >ack dead >wygger dead >shart about to die

>>1186498 >dwarf >scottish If your dwarfs are anything but yorkshiremen you're doing it fucking wrong.

>>1158401 Been thinking about playing this cuteslop again since I only played on release, but it's soooooooo long nigga

>want to replay the game >but Act 1 druid/drow/underground shit takes forever as it is, and then there's the monastery too Larian really needs to cool it with the EA bloat

>>1218750 >and I don't want to use Wyll. I'm playing as Wyll this time around since I also always sidelined him and so far he's been alright as a protagonist. I figured I'd romance Karl since I also have never romanced her and there is indeed a bunch of unique "Wyll romancing Karl" dialog coming up but I'm having some regrets. I think a Wyll playthrough would be more fun if you played him as the "Sold his soul to be a hero" tard he is, and you do shit like big damn heroics to save the tieflings but at the same time you kill Karlach and accept basically every morally ambiguous choice for power that comes up. Sorta doubt I'll ever want to do ANOTHER playthrough as Wyll and I'm committed at this point, but I am a little curious how shit pans that way As to your actual question, I'd also say Karl because barbarian's always fun and I'm looking forward to trying to kick that drow into the lava in the duergar fort. Depends on how you like to play though, swashbuckler Astarion will be more melee-focused, Shart's vaguely melee, and Karl's arguably melee since going all-in on thrown weapons is still probably better with berserker than giant. If you want your group more diversified it might be worth taking a non-melee yourself and/or for your third. Usually worth having a hasteslut around too until you're purposefully avoiding it

are there mods to make the titties bigger or to make the heroines less ugly? I played the owlkek games with mercenary only parties because I can't stand modern rpg character writing, but I'm under the impression that isn't possible with this game.

>>1220114 > but I'm under the impression that isn't possible with this game. you are incorrect. you can play with all hirelings

>>1220152 but you can't have sex with them then? do they have other limitations compared to real party members or is that it?

>>1220246 no you can't have your cake and eat it

>>1189835 >But you can, though that may be Durge exclusive though. The nigger brain blows his head up

>>1221061 you want a romance or something?

How do I force myself to play with Wyll in the party? He's so boring and lame its not even a race thing

>>1221421 No I want an ending where you side with him and he's still alive.

Shadow Magic's Shadow Walk > Draconic Bloodline's Fly

>>1220114 The evil party members in WotR are pretty fucking good. You missed out on the cute little murder hobo.

>>1178198 Can I have sex with minthara without pissing off every other companion?

Is beastmaster ranger fun? I'm getting a bit bored of gloomstalker assassin ranger.

>>1222723 Nobody will be pissed off. Karlach and Wyll will disappear from your party with no warning and that's it. There are no future sex scenes with Minthara, but as I've said, hers is the most explicit one. Her romance sucks. Just fuck Minthara, have sex with Lae'zel twice then dump her then switch to Shadowheart normally. Sex scenes are really fucking rare after those two initial Lae'zel one night stands. Remember when BsG3 was advertised as a sex game? Well it isn't nearly as hot as it should be. Maybe if you play as a girl, then have sex with all the men and women it pays off.

>>1222879 Definitely not as broken but still effective and definitely fun. The bear being able to disarm or knock people prone is very useful

>>1199979 polearm master + sentinel is fun >average melee enemy comes in 10 ft polearm range >opportunity attack with polearm master >enemy ends movement from sentinel and cant attack since out of range >next turn attack enemy with 10 ft pole >continue to bully enemy at 10 ft

>>1223266 Are all the animals pretty good and any tips?

>>1223431 i've been wanting to do a run as a wolf ranger who specializes in poisons. a lot of the poison coatings have good effects but half the time i normally use them they get resisted so i wanted to combine it with something that gives disadvantage to constitution checks. >>1223266 do honeyed paws effects just happen on successful attacks? there doesnt seem to be any checks to make against getting disarmed or knocked prone in the wiki. even the wolf's lunging bite needs to make a check to knock someone prone

>>1223532 Its just a straight up attack roll, no save checks. If it hits it disarms/prones.

doing my first ever durge run is it better to give into the urge or resist?

>>1224078 either is fine

I just wanted to say that I love my wife.

>>1224593 Also if you want to play let me know

>>1224583 fuck

>>1178198 That's a tranny. Why would you want to fuck a tranny? Going through a modded BG1+2+ToB playthrough, and Durlag's Tower is being a bitch. I chose to respec Imoen into a Shadowdancer, so she doesn't have cheese traps to kill anything remotely hard, but skull trap saves the day. Not looking forward to the chess game, but mass wands of fireball should do the trick.

>all these memberberries in bg3 >no Imoen Literally the only character I give a fuck about, WHERE IS MY SISTERWIFE

>>1224674 She's off doing something actually fucking useful, meanwhile the rest of the level 30+ returning cast are sitting around doing fuck all when they could solve the invading illithid or whatever problem in an afternoon if they take their time. Besides, would you really want Larian to take the ugly trannybat to Imoen?

>>1224702 Maybe you're right

Time to finish Act 1 I guess. Again.

>>1222723 >>1223334 I've played this. Kino build. It was fun jumping into the fray and halberding the shit out of enemies. >>1224665 Dumbass, she's a woman. Originally she was supposed to get pregnant from sex with Tav, but then Larian decided no fun will be allowed in act 3, so they've shipped the unfinished game.

>>1191510 I wouldn't mind Jaheira if the first act didn't have a billion boring druids already. Druid game, uninstalled.

>>1224078 Resist has more/better content. You get a scene with your romance in act 2, and the big resist moment in act 3 is kino. You also still get a proper epilogue, which giving in locks you out of otherwise, replacing it with a short cinematic which is amusing enough but not worth it IMO, you can just as well watch it on youtube. >>1224583 What's her name, occupation and tragic backstory?

>>1225870 Waifu police over here.

>>1224078 Baal path requires you to kill Isobel (or your waifu) and control brain. I guess you also ditch Gale early if you pick every murderous option available. Resist path is basically same as normal playthrough with added cuuhrazy dialogue options.

>>1224078 The new evil endings are quite neat imo, makes for a fun playthrough especially if you've been playing as a typical hero before

>>1226541 I haven't played since before patch 7, are they actually worth it? I did like 5 flavors of good playthrough (including evil act 1-2 durge that went redeemed in act 3) so it would be something new, but I also wanted to make this my last playthrough and make an attempt at honor mode so going full evil retard would probably fuck me out of a lot of useful items along the way. I was gonna do Tav anyway which is probably less satisfying than an evil durge.

How would you build Alucard (Hellsing) in Baldurs Gate 3?

>>1227118 imo, they’re kinda meh but every origin gets a unique one

>>1227400 basically just astarion with double crossbows? lean into the shadow spec

>>1224593 well I guess I have to actually try this out now.

>>1227424 we haven't turned into mind flayers yet friend

just began playing and toll the dead on a Death cleric is so OP! I can't go back to regular shart, not anymore

>>1180869 Thoughts on the new Oath?

If I want to do an evil run should I do durge or just a normal evil playthrough? I feel like durge is its own sort of thing and would tend to overwrite other things

>>1229030 it doesn't overwrite it fills in some of the missing details a tav would miss

OMG daddy's watching us kiss

>>1229030 You'd get more out of it for durge but if you'd rather be evil for evil's sake and not because daddy said so, be Tav (you probably need to enjoy RP and headcanon for why your character is evil). Evil doesn't have a lot in this game either way so you might as well go durge so you can get the extra content out of what little is there.

I downloaded all 130 gigs and modded it with shit like 5e spells or whatever and horns and hair and other character shit and extra classes like necromancy and whatnot when it was patch 7 then didn't really play it and now patch 8, which is what I really wanted all along for Hexblade, is out. How long do I have to wait for my mods to update?

connection failed?

>>1229330 like 90% of mods work just fine as is.

blonde blue eyed white human male Paladin of Crown x brunette green eyed white human female Paladin of Conquest enemies to lovers trope

>>1229330 5espells is already updated.

The Act 1 evil route only makes sense for Durge doesn't it? How the fuck do you rationalize this shit? You don't even get a benefit from doing this in-lore. You just slaughter a bunch of innocents and kids for essentially no reason lol. Can't even cope with "I can find out more about my brainaids" because you literally go to the Goblin camp because there is a good guy there that can help you just as much if not more.

>>1231220 Welcome to "Evil" in video games.

>>1231220 The whole idea of a evil playthrough in BG3 is basically just "So you're playing murderhobo durge?" There's no benefit, gameplay or lorewise, to play as an evil playthough.

What’s the best build to solo Honor mode now?

>>1205848 Actually just found out about this mod and came here to ask about it. How have you been finding it so far? Is it actually what it's hyped up to be? Anything I should know about it? It looks sort of daunting to have so much stuff to analyze just in character creation. It's easy to see why Larian didn't do that. >>1206933 That's a name I only expect to see in shitty bait threads and Umineko threads.

Still loving Gale Dekarios, so that's progress.

>>1234230 can you explain what he meant by>>1181468

>>1234311 I mean... He's right.

>>1231220 >that can help you just as much if not more. With no meta knowledge Halsin isn't really presented as a great choice. In the grove you get threatened by a halfling and while she says Halsin knows more than she does you're still looking at other tadpoled people on slabs being dissected. The cult of the absolute is clearly evil but they seem to know more about what's going on and despite being full of goblinoids people aren't turning into illithids yet. It's not a great reason to side with them but if you're looking at it in terms of "Tadpole is very serious and I need this fixed as soon as possible" they do still look more promising than Halsin. Kinda like the githyanqui creche is probably a better option than Halsin in terms of people knowing what the fuck they're doing until it becomes clear they're just going to kill you It's definitely more for murderhobo durge but you could reasonably finagle some neutral characters through that route too if you were so inclined

I wish Team Dark had a fourth member

>>1234781 Dark Justiciar Shadowheart, no? Or Lae'zel.

>>1234787 laelae isn't evil per say

>>1234787 DJ Shart is closest but even on that route she's clearly still brainwashed and doesn't really feel evil, there should have been another companion who actually feels evil or at least chaotic. I wonder if EA Wyll could have been like that.

>>1234781 >LE >NE >CE well the trio fits, but there's too many knife ears in there already, we needed an evil dwarf. one of the funny duergars from the Grymforge would work wonders as a companion imagine wrestling Brinthvar through this mind flayer shitstorm and he's the only sane man internally screaming.

>>1235492 They're all pretty chaotic, man. If you want lawful and neutral, Shardowheart and Lae'zel fit better.

>>1236244 Minthara reeks of lawtism tho, with the way she respects ketty and proudly follows her Oath.

>>1236298 >ketty

When does pure Eldritch Knight go online

>>1234787 shart is a poser. she's good hearted at her core no matter how hard shar grooms her, so she's a lame-o and disqualified. the frog is an animal. no more evil than the raccoon raiding your trash I need a lad that just likes killing and eating roasted dwarves with durge. lump should've been a party member

Should've been party members >Nere >Kagha >Rolan

>>1231220 The druids are a blight on the realm. Their genocide is one of the games greatest rewards. It's sad that the tieflings have to get caught up in that, but they should have chosen their allies better.

>>1236650 Level 3

>male player >female dolled up avatar explain

Can't believe I haven't actually played as THE Durge yet. Gonna do one now (with a Dragonborn breath enhancing mod).

>>1205786 Apotheosis is only good on mages and polymorph skills are best on strength based characters, which do not benefit from apotheosis due to lacking source skills (unless you use the skill for the mediocre stat boost). Taking 5 points of polymorph for it is trolling and there is only 1 viable late-game unique which gives polymorph and it, you guessed it, is made for strength based characters too. It's a bait skill. Especially since you can craft scrolls of it around the same time you unlock it. Act 4 even has free source points in combat with no ap cost via the virtue tokens

>>1206227 >You just can't, you'll spread too thin in stats You can be a melee character who deals magic damage by attacking though, and it's the same stuff, just with a different flavor.

>>1219348 There is literally enough exp to go from level 1-12 in Baldurs Gate itself. The game can be beaten at a lower level as well. Just do what you can and power-level if you ever get stuck later on. The only "hard" fight is Myrkel, but you can cheese him many ways.

>>1236991 It is tradition.

>>1236717 Give me Zevlor instead of the bear, he feels like the faction leader for the entire druid grove quest anyway, then both good and evil would get a paladin

They should've just kept Halsin an npc, who at most just follows along like Barcus, and then had Jaheira join the party earlier to compensate than make them both party members tbh

>>1238506 blame tumblr fujos

>>1217467 this was my build His name was vin diesel, he looked like vin diesel, and he threw things around. There’s a shirt that looks like a regular tshirt, dyed it white, also had the vest in dark blue/black. Next up: >gloomstalker/assassin named riddick >swarm keeper/open hand monk named The Beekeeper >death cleric/spore druid named Jeffery

Obviously Shadowheart has the most relevance of the companions, but who's second? Has to be Wyll, right?

>>1239301 >Wyll Never used him so I didn't see a lot of his stuff aside from the Mizora content. I'd have to say its Gale for me.

>>1239301 >Obviously Shadowheart has the most relevance of the companions, but who's second? Has to be Wyll, right? No, it's Lae'zel actually, she's arguably tied with Shadowheart. Wyll is after, then Karlach, then Gale, then everyone else has no relation to the plot.

>>1239301 Don't mistake amount of content for plot relevance. This >>1240582 guy is right, though I'd say Karlach, Gale and Wyll are all kind of tied. >Lae'zel is the only companion in the intro cinematic and is directly connected to the mind flayer plot, actively pursuing the artifact that kickstarted the plot, and her quest is connected to Orpheus who is essential to the plot >Shadowheart just happened to be at the right place at the right time because her drow mommy hates her and sent her on a suicide mission that just happened to involve picking up the artifact, which Shar didn't even tell her to do, or probably gave a shit about in the first place, is only relevant because she's the one carrying it and refuses to give it up; directly connected to the mandatory act 2 dungeon, but that itself has no ties to the main plot besides that it happens to be where Ketheric is keeping Nightsong, and Shadowheart didn't even know about that until she again happened to be in the right place at the right time >Wyll's father is the Duke, whose kidnapping has major plot relevance for the villain trio's plans, but Wyll himself doesn't have very much to do with things >Karlach's backstory connects to Gortash, and killing Gortash is at the top of her rapidly approaching bucket list, but her being sent to Hell 10 years ago has nothing to do with Gortash's plans for the main plot and her killing him is really just convenient because you need to do it anyway; can be turned into a squid to save Orpheus' life which might arguably bump her importance up a bit if the player does this since it impacts future of the githyanki >Gale is entirely plot irrelevant UNTIL the crown shows up in act 3, but then that becomes the focus of his entire quest, tying him in with plot-important NPC Raphael and his schemes related to the main plot >Halsin and Jaheira are mildly plot-relevant because of their history fighting Ketheric in the past but lose relevance once he's defeated in act 2 and become hangers on >Astarion and Minsc have nothing to do with the plot whatsoever Shadowheart was Larian's golden child and happened to get a ton of quest content, but she was supposedly more relevant before rewrites because Shar and Nightsong factored into the main plot more. She's really no more relevant to the plot than Gale, since both are just coincidentally tied up in it due to their connections to different plot macguffins. Lae'zel is really the only one who has a major connection to the story being told.

Gale is essentially the main character, more so than any of the other companions.

>>1241262 So much of a main character he adds literally nothing to the overarching plot.

>>1241262 He's the designated lore dump nerd, he has side character written all over him. He even pulls the heroic sacrifice card multiple times in the game, the "you Go, I stay" kind of party split shit every side character dreams of

>>1240582 > Lae'zel feel like shes mia after act 1. despite the final act being about orph

>>1241567 Someone should make an expansion mod that involves getting her to hatch the stolen egg. She needs the right roost, the right place, you must trek with her there. And then she could have a githlet companion fighting alongside her. Maybe ride on her back shooting arrows or throwing rocks. If the kid dies, she goes berserk and kills most of the camp at night.

>>1241685 only if i can romance the baby

>>1241685 The egg has hatched by the time of the epilogue and she can talk about her new son and everything, but you need to keep the egg in her inventory for the entire game.

>>1240582 >>1240945 You're overestimating the worth of Lae'zel (and the Gith) in act two. Their only purpose is being a literal blockade to act three. If they have no ties to Ketheric Thorm and Moonrise Towers, then they can't really win the relevancy race.

>>1242475 Good thing all of Act 2 is LITERALLY a roadblock until the actual plot goes back on the rails in Act 3, where the gith are one of the central players.

>>1241685 >>1242129 Did the society of brilliance undertards speed up the egg's growth or something? It feels weird how if you give them the egg you have this superpowered gith kid blasting everyone with psychic projections but if Lae'zel carries it the egg just hatches after the game ends.

>>1242657 I think it's either stated or implied they did, yeah. I only gave them the egg once though, in my first playthrough, so I don't remember the specifics.

>>1241685 >master blaster kek

Is the Grove safe?

>>1242881 No wonder most people never give the egg to the weird egg lady. the other outcome has based Omeluum alive and helping you out in the obligatory turn based evac mission.

>>1243503 I did it in my first playthrough because for some reason I thought if I told her no I wouldn't be able to keep using her as a trader and she was selling stuff I wanted and being a useful dumping ground for all the gith shit I was overloaded with from the creche, so I didn't want to piss her off. I got super confused when people kept talking about Omeluum being in the underwater prison because I didn't put 2 and 2 together that the Society HQ being slaughtered meant he was dead, and just kind of assumed he'd stay in the Underdark and get deleted from the game after act 1.

>>1241262 absolutely not the singular thing he has tying him to the plot is that he can nagasaki himself to kill the nigger brain, that's literally it, nothing else

>>1240945 There was space to connect Wyll and Karlach to the plot more via Gortash and Durge heisting the karsite crown since both are connected to Zariel, and there could be some 5D hells politics to spin there, but the writers were more concerned with adding gay romances instead.

>>1243960 >romances fetish. and cheap ones at that. if they really wanted the gay shit they could have explained Gortash's hobo mode as some bullshit longings for Durge and given Gortash more background to tie him better, which would expand the hells more and give us more crown heist and zariel lore. but they didn't. They stole the Crown from Mephistopheles himself and he didn't appear to meme on the Sword Coast some more, this hurts me the most.

>>1244278 Didn't they make his dialogue with durge gayer in one patch then immediately revert it or something when people complained?

>>1243960 Am I misremembering or was Avernus supposed to play a much larger role in the game then it did? I honestly would prefer it over the city. I get you kind of have to go to the city since its the game's title but I honestly hated it.

>>1244861 >technically start the game there >two of the main cast are connected to it >you go there during the main quest >multiple other characters are connected to it >prequel story basically has that as its setting Honestly, it feels like a great place to continue the stories of Lae'zel, Karlach and Wyll with their "canon" endings as a guerilla war against Zariel to take over Avernus and leverage its forces against Vlaakith or something.

>>1244861 They were working on a DLC before they decided they were done with the game, based on the epilogue stuff about Karlach finding a forge there's a chance they would have let you go there but we'll never know.

>>1243160 Druid grove, home. Or at least it was until Aradin brought goblins here

whats up with the thread not auto updating once in a while

>>1206933 Tried watching but I forgot how painful it is to watch a completely new player fumble the early fights. His 2 box strat fights were one of the funniest version of those fights for sure thought. Watched 10ish streams and ended up staring my own run out of fustration. I do like how he doesn't shy away from picking the insane options for entertainement.

BaldGay3ers I have some news: I found IMG_XXXXposter on multiple altchans Has anything happened in beegeegee? This shit looks dead asf. I also found a few regs lurking the sharty but they dispersed

>>1246877 he's ITT too

>>1246948 I just noticed lmao. What happened to the pig guy and his bf, was it a single poster all along?

Any mod that has the Honor Mode changes without the Honor Mode permadeath? I like the idea of a harder difficulty with more complex enemies and reworked encounters but only having 1 save is a bit too much.

anyone who is not a turbo schizo wanna play?

>>1246877 I saw namefag once on the sharty >>1247038 I’d assume so

>>1246877 It'd be nice if some of the other regulars migrated here but if they did the schizos would probably all come back and things would turn to shit again. I wish it was a little faster but it's also way comfier here than /bgg/ had been in like, a year+

>>1247109 i believe you can set it under the custom difficulty settings but it excludes you from the cheevo

Tiefling refugees are not welcome.

Why is the implementation of playing as a caster in this game so weak compared to other fantasy CRPGs? In the earlier installments, casters were incredibly powerful, and in recent Pathfinder games, casters are practically gods. Why is everything here so dull, straightforward, and repetitive?

>>1248258 I enjoyed playing as a Wizard for what it's worth, act 3 gear basically makes your spells unavoidable. Stun-locking Cazador into dancing for the duration of the entire boss fight was really amusing to me.

>>1248258 Being a cunt won't make people play WOTR. I thought CRPG fans would've learned this already.

>>1248258 because casters are faggots

>>1248670 Sure, but you still should play WOTR because it's fucking good and one of the best CRPGs in this generation. Significantly better than Balls Hurt Gay 3

Based

if its so good why is nobody playing it >hurr durr cause its an old game ok so why is nobody playing their new release either

Going out on a limb to post this load order from my fresh patch 8 install, I only ever dabbled with modding BG3 in the past and that was years ago. Does anything here look hinky/out of order? I think I have most of it in the right place.

>>1248990 Because the CRPG genre is not popular. It has always been, is, and will remain niche. And comparing online player counts on Steam isn't valid because BG3's numbers are clearly inflated by bots. This is quite obvious based on the fact that BG3 is discussed less, fewer BG3 guides are watched, BG3 threads live longer on other boards like Russian 2ch. We have no doubt that BG3's actual player count is lower than WOTR's.

>Because the CRPG genre is not popular and yet bg3 manages 100k+ hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ah bots the schizo is here guys!

>>1248258 >Counterspell is the most useful thing he can do Nice self own, anon

>>1248990 Just ignore the seething /crpgg/ baby instead of taking his bait

>>1249201 >and yet bg3 manages 100k+ It was botted. You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it.

>>1249285 no i will forever shit on wotr and its ilk

(and of course even tho he's IP and ID hopping we all know it's one schizo doing this)

Why doesn't the .se domain work for me anymore

>>1249726 it is rumoured that sharties are actively working to take down the alt chans, 8kun suffered a similar DDOS

What the FUCK did they mean by this

I killed the orc looking bitch from the ship did I fuck up?

>>1250238 She's a major companion but not critical to anything so you only fucked up if you wanted to see as much as possible in a singleplaythrough, but if your heart isn't yearning for frog then she can stay dead. Not much different from something like killing Minsc in his tard rage in Irenicus' sex dungeon, except BG3 doesn't have as many replaceable companions as 1 and 2* *Full companions, can just hireling of course

>>1249138 >>1249300 >schizo poster found out about 8chan damn even when the main site is down he has to scour everywhere to schizo post about BG3

I will never understand how anyone thinks laezel is an orc like even if you've never heard of a gith before she doesn't look like an orc in the slightest

>>1251262 green = ork

Roast dwarf ass: juicy, delicious, making the goblin woman's mouth moist Volo: dumb stupid idiot, sex pervert intentionally got himself caught by female goblins

The Beekeeper build commences. Will be using dual crossbows to simulate handguns when I can find them. Only level 3, hopefully the bees do more later on.

Kagha did nothing wrong

>>1251262 She is ugly stupid green and violent What else needs to be said really?

>>1217559 >giant barb feels like throwzerker but good during a playthrough with a friend he picked up giant barb and tavern brawler, saw a fucking +18 lightning damage after the busted huge physical damage throw attack, learned that the rage bonuses and the tavern brawler double dips on the elemental damage. pretty fucking hilarious damage on wet targets.

>>1251525 Anon... why are your goblinas wearing bras?

>>1251950 My arch druid, my companion, my wife.

I am 134 and I WANT SEX

>>1249690 You talk like a schizo.

where is my wife marceline?

>>1201066 They can't. 80% of 4chan's income comes from paid shills/advertisers. And transparency is *not* in their best interest.

4chan is back and running (for now)

Anyone else want to stay here where it's comfy?

>>1256048 BAD GATEWAY BAD GATEWAY BAD GATEWAY

>>1256715 its dead again

see you soon!

Are they rushing because they're afraid if they take too long they're going to lose all their userbase? Because bringing it back up, having it be unusable and fucking up half the boards for 20 minutes, then going back down isn't exactly winning them any favor either

>>1253908 anon dragonborns mature at 15 and live to around 40. are you an elf trying to rob a cradle again?

>>1257005 oh, that's 100% what they're doing. At least "trying" to stay online is better. Every day that they remain offline is another day people find alternatives and stick to it.

>>1247109 Get the mod that allows for multi save in honor mode, then start honor mode.

Was nice while it lasted fellas. See you around if 4chan dies again.

>>1260435 see you soon retards

>>1252773 I AIN'T NEVER EVEN SEEN A BG3 MOD although the killing's probably going to start tonight. Will there be a lot of dead goblin pictures? Wouldn't count on it but LET'S SEE HOW IT GOES

Is Titanstring Bow still good in honor mode?

>>1261774 its lae'zel's forever bow

>>1260487 Doesn't matter, everyone's gone back like battered housewives.

it does really make you think about how it seems like its just business as usual over there. except you get banned if you mention altchans and how many posts are bad faith posts

>>1261178 Didn't start the killing* yet but I did learn you could get through the hobgoblin's dialog without combat starting. Don't know if that's something they changed or if it requires an unused tadpole charge or what but that was cool *Except for murdering all goblin children to free Halsin >>1266267 It engorges my autism gland something fierce when she has some regular dialog with the other goblins around the table

What the hell? I knocked Minthara out and I couldn't take her underwear, this is an absolute fucking outrage since I am near certain I did before. Unless maybe the difference is if she's alive or dead, that might be

>>1269671 they patched that out

>>1270280 Those sonsa bitches. Been mostly feeling like shit's been improved by the patches but that's a terrible letdown

>>1270428 >>1270280 >>1269671 Pretty sure you can only take it if she's dead.

luv me undead army

Will you support Shart's new game?

>>1278101 Playing it now, GOTY. Felt weird hearing her voice a different character but I'm already used to it.

>>1270428 stealing Minthara's underwear after knocking her out was great. >Be noble drow from the toppest of houses >Get knocked out by some weirdos >Wake up stark naked in an empty as fuck temple >Walk of shame butt naked back to Moonrise >Barge in flashing everyone in the meeting room >Debrief your misfortunes to your boss, who you deeply respect, before getting trashed into the brainwashing pit for jobbing. All while mooning Ketheric and getting slandered by filthy goblins >Your only chance of getting out of this fucking ENF fic is to ally yourself with the madmen that stole your undies ridicule all drows

>>1278101 >fr*nch no thanks

>>1280725 >ridicule all drows That was an important part of BG1 and 2 and it obviously needs to be one for BG3 as well

namefag really broke that anon lol

>>1286750 literally who

>>1286759 there's only 1 namefag there's only 1 group of people that hate the namefag

>Record scratch >Freeze frame

I wanna try a dual wield paladin build for Minthara, I am trying 5 paladin and 3 rogue thief so far, then fighter 1 for dual wielding fighting style so I can change the gloves, but I am not sure else to go for after that.

BG3 more like Built for Trannies 3

>>1313907 If you're dipping into Fighter you should at least put a second level in for Action Surge

>>1286799 everyone hates the namefag tho?

Only 3 jive young fellas in the 4channel general and they all got a posting block for 15 RIP.

>>1334167 We're all namefags here thanks to IDs.

shit's broken again
