sorry bro, people who get raped don't go to heaven. if you're a man, you would have commited homosexuality which is a carnal sin.
if you're a woman, you'd have commited fornication or adultery, depending on your marital status. eitherway, it's straight to the depths of hell with you
pretty sure you're supposed to turn the other cheek
did jesus lie to me???

turning the other cheek only works with fellow christians who believe in the same idea.
it doesn't work on others who do not. they will gladly take advantage of you and continue to walk all over you if you just 'turn the other cheek' to everything they do or say.

Marriage is a free rape license in case you didn't know. It date to times when women were property and even today if your wife refuses to be raped, the marriage is voided in most places. Until recently she wouldn't even have that option.

Turning the other cheek might have been a passive aggressive social gotcha thing. To hit you, they'd have to either use the other side of the hand, which was a social no-no, or use the other hand, which was an even bigger social no-no.

It's considered destruction of property, which is theft. If the animals are yours, though, how do you think the entire meat industry operates? Did you think it was a black market good?
>Wizards removed evil races and Mind Flayers are now le complex misunderstood innocent creatures >Protection from evil still works on them and all goblins, devils.
That is not the case with Mindlfayers at all.
They're inter-planar slaver bastards connected to a hive mind that is actively malevolent and looking to break the wills of everything that isn't them.
You are a pet, food or an incubator to make more of themselves before you could be anything else.
Even the ones that escape the hive mind are slaves to the hunger for brains, even if they try to be more ethical about it.
Only for the races in the handbook.
The only real casualty of this is drow, but they've always been written as "Evil as a product of nuture, not nature" and Elistree has been in FR canon since 1992 I believe, and most of the evil depraved shit drow do was written to showcase just how depraved their society was when compared to good drow like Drizzt or neutral drow like his dad.
People have also been shoving good and neutral orcs into their settings for years now. You can blame Blizzard for that one.
Uh so I created this reply and meant "evil creature" in the sense of D&D's alignment system, where evil is a fundamental natural aspect that is detectable, quantifiable, and is opposed by a detectable, quantifiable good.
That's not like real life at all. You have childish, abhorrent ideas about people and should seek professional help, preferably in the form of lying down with your head beneath a bus's wheel.
Could you explain how individuals involved in drug gangs, who have reportedly engaged in heinous acts such as consuming the hearts of their cartel rivals, are not considered unequivocally evil?
Evil is not quantifiable even in DND.
The character would just need to be "evil" to commit such an act.
A "Lawful Evil" character might eat the heart of his enemy as part of a strict code or set of rules they adhere to, even if those rules are seen as reprehensible by others. They believe in order, but use it to further their own sinister ends.
A "Neutral Evil" character might eat the heart of his enemy solely out of self-interest, without any regard for rules or disorder. They are primarily concerned with their own well-being and will use any means to ensure their survival or power.
A "Chaotic Evil" character might eat the heart of his enemy as an expression of their disdain for order, rules, and regard for others' lives. They believe in personal freedom and autonomy at the expense of others and are generally ruthless and unpredictable.
I assure you that a drug gang member that engages in eating the hearts of their cartel rivals, likely contemplates his actions far less philosophically than you give him credit for. These sub-90 IQ subhumans literally don't have a moral compass and don't feel any remorese. They honestly could be seen as indisputably evil when evaluated using RPG mechanics.
i hope your spine doesnt hurt after all this moronic mental gymnastics
you see an absolutely evil creature - you kill it, or at least don't help it
it simply doesn't know any better, it doesn't understand the concept of good or evil, it simply how it is, their whole nature
this is why I support race war on Black folk anyway
Take a critical thinking course. And a course on ethics. Morality is objective. People who put their profit and pleasure before the health and safety of others are objectively evil.
>only destroy evil in fantasy, not in real life, chuddie! Destroying evil in real life makes you childish!
You completely shat the bed with this one, kek. You destroyed your own for justification for why you twisted degenerates should exist without even realizing it, and now you need to backtrack. It's a glorious sight.
But a bear is a low intelligence savage animal, it wouldn't have any comprehension of my feelings, but mindflayers are higher beings with intelligence and are attuned to social interactions, it should know I want to help, it just killing me isn't lore friendly, even if it's evil, it should at least know I'm not a threat since my mind is expressing sympathy and compassion, it should at least try to further manipulate or see me as some pawn or followers, not just kill me outright and blow its cover
>game tries to make me feel sorry for criminals
lol executed
>it just killing me isn't lore friendly,
They believe all lesser beings exist to serve them in their insane quest for domination. You are nothing to it. It is not your friend and would never ally with you in the same way you would never see a gnat as a friend.
But that doesn't make any sense, there is an insurmountable language barrier between me and a gnat, completely separated, but mindflayers understand us and can talk. Your analogy is fundamentally broken, underdark shows connections are possible
mind flayers are like the israelites of our world, but much worse
they see everyone as beneath them and as cattle to either serve them, or be sacrificed towards their ends
there is no reasoning with them
there is only extermination
That's the same thing though. Gnats and Humans share plenty of traits unique to them that yet lesser organisms lack. If "has complex biology like limbs that allow it to move around" is a wrung on the "traits in common ladder", gnats and humans both reach that wrung, but algae doesn't. Humans and mindflayers both reach the "consciousness" wrung, but there are a bunch of wrungs above that unqiur to mindflayers that humans arent privvy to.
That's the defined structure of these make believe creatures. They're "above" the "lesser races" (at least in their own opinion).
Like what do you do when you just SEE ants inside your home? Even if they're not in your food yet and only in a corner not bothering anyone? You poison them all anyway. Same thing. You don't fricking matter to a mindflayer, get real.
>it should at least know I'm not a threat since my mind is expressing sympathy and compassion
How dumb do you have to be to think that the compassion and sympathy you feel for the Lovecraftian mind-controlling psychic that kidnapped you and is in the slow process of turning you into a copy of itself is your own
That one in the underdark is a bro, though. Too bad they needed the frick out of the ring he gives. >no longer blocks mindflayer frickery

there is almost no way to brick the main quest. if someone is meant to exist they will just get resurrected at the relevant point in time.
larian does this in all their games.
>bitches be like "I can fix him"
Granted not buying the game, but based off a picture some anon posted of the giant tentacle and ruined ship, I can only assume these fricks attacked you, and you still wanted to help the lovecraftian horror dressed as a saturday morning cartoon villain... I barely touched the NWN/BG series, but even I knew these fricks eat brains and look down on every other race like cattle.
I played this game for like 20 minutes and i have no idea what's going on.
I managed to save a shadow chick or something and there's a brain following me.
I have a bunch of skills that idk how to use and the tutorial is MIA.
I keep rolling dice even though i have no idea if i should or not cause idk how my stats work.

I don't know how the scene could make it anymore obvious that the EVIL PSYCHIC MONSTER CALLED A *MIND FLAYER* is attempting to mind control you into doing its bidding and that this is almost certainly not a good thing. When have you ever encountered someone with literal mind control powers in any form of media and they WEREN'T an irredeemable turbo rapist psychopath?
anon forgot the part where in the first 5 seconds of this game, quite literally the opening cutscene, you see this exact creature put an evil tadpole in your eye that is going to dissolve your insides, eat your brain, and turn you into one of them. you have to be very legitimately moronic to trust one of these.

And your reaction is? >let me help that dying monster
Lol wut?
they secrete enzymes which soften your flesh and bones so the tentacles can just schlorp on in and pull the brain out. they don't have beaks. octopus-like doesn't mean lmao octopus.
if a tadpole doesn't get implanted and survives it'll grow to the true form known as a neothelid, rather than the humanoid one. a gargantuan worm which can spit a cloud of enzymes that completely dissolve the victims except for their delicious cerebral sweetmeats
they shunted themselves back in time from the dying future of the universe to enslave all of existence. multiverses of fallen empires all conspiring across the astral plane to dominate everyone everywhere
Judging by how your character feels as they go out, nice, a druggy light-headed sensation, I've read stuff saying it feels catatonically orgasmic, all just mindflayer frickery to keep you docile
I mean, you're all making it sound really bad for OP. All you do is start a dialogue with the mind flayer and it suddenly throws you into trying to resist his attempts to kiss you. I guarantee the majority of players had no idea that would happen. My first time I rolled a 1 (lmao) reloaded then just shot him with an arrow
no, frick you moron, did you skip the entire fricking opening cutscene and introductory portion of the game because it didn't have slowed+reverbed hip hop music or some shit
>>want to help and show compassion
PfffffffffHAHAHAH those creatures only just injected you with a brain worm and you wanted to save them? You're a walking Darwin award waiting to happen. When the NPC i was with said "beware the cthulushit, he's wounded" i immediately started looking for the biggest nuke i had on my action bar.
she shows up in a few other scenes to talk to you
it doesn't really matter in the end though cause the guardian is just an illusion cast by a sentient mind flayer whose helping you stave off the infection that's supposed to turn you into a mind flayer. he uses the image of that character you created as a means to get you to trust it and help you do what must be done.

I've played through act 1 a million times and I always killed that fricker for acting like a moron at the start. this time I said I would let it slide and let him live. then he fricking tries to drink my blood in the middle of the night. I'm pissed. I couldn't even kill him, he just ran away.
but mind flayers are quite literally white men from the British Empire. they want to dominate others and turn their colonies into their own while using others from the occupied zones as their slaves that do their bidding.
>Even as an oath of Vengeance.
Well yeah, your oath just helped vicious murderers that you should've been slaughtering in the name of avenging their victims.
dude mind flayers are literally worse than than the worst demons
like you have to be actually moronic to not curbstomp one the second you get the opportunity, they are genuinely irredeemable parasites that deserve genocide
your fault, in this setting mind flayers are 100% evil race, almost like an equivalent to black people for us, and even if you don't know about it, the fact that they eye raped you, you saw them turning and using other races and the game literally tells you the only reason they are not attacking you inside the ship is because the worm makes them believe you are one of them already. all that should be enough for you to know they are evil
Be honest Ganker, is there anything in this game that indicates it should actually be 150gb in filesize? Because that is what's keeping me from getting the game because it means deleting like 5 other games to make room for it.
I have a 250gb for my actual OS and stuff that I don't put games on, 2 500gb SSDs for games, and an 8TB external HDD that I use as a media server. Sure, I have plenty of room on the external...if I want to kill the damn thing.
Oh yeah. I really enjoy having a middle aged amateur theater-tier roastie narrate what is happening literally in front of me. Frick off. This game is so goddamn obnoxious, like holy shit.
This scene actually kinda makes me want to play the game. Why didn't the marketing campaign be a bunch of outtakes of the player falling for obvious dialog traps and getting mercilessly killed for being a stupid moron instead of memes about gay bestiality?
>want to play with the added enemy abilities of hard mode >don't want to deal with the stupid gay shit like +2 to hit and AC and extra HP on every mob
why does every rpg dev feels like just giving BIGGER NUMBER makes sense in their game even when it doesn't
the entire point of bounded accuracy is to not have this dumbass number creep happen in the first place
it's bad enough they modify shit like the brute damage die or fury of the small to make it even stupider
they just have to frick with accuracy because missing more often is LE HARD
enemies have abiilities they shouldn't have and do way more damage than they should, mainly
and some irrelevant environmental effects to elemental spells
>keep using your tadpole bro dude trust me get more sick brain powers it'll be worth it if you want your tadpole out >also absolutely do not trust your butler trust me not him

Mindflayers are born evil and cannot change their alignment. They're born psychopaths with no physical ability to empathize with or care for human life. They're only happy when you suffer and die and they triumph.
If you read the old 1/2E era Monster Manuals, Illithids are indeed an "evil empire", and the reason they are like that is because they consider the overworld unclean. You know, after reading this thread and contemplating the nature of a game that sells bear sex, and I think the Illithids are actually right.

Some fights are going to sack you pretty hard at first. There are usually ways to gain an advantage using the environment so they want to explore to make fights easier. Some story fights are hard to make easier so you do need an understanding of the rules. I'd say sometimes it's much easier than DOS2 and other times it's harder.
>single mindflayer drooped on one end of a typical human planet >single genestealer dropped on other end
Who mind fricks the most and in the ultimately collision, each other
Mindflayer is fricked unless he can construct a portal to call his fellows or dominate some thralls, it'll take a lot more time in the short term but he can build a decent base and the rest will take care of itself.
Genestealer has a harder start but depending on the breeding he'll have more to work with until the fourth gen, then they'll spread faster than the mild flayer can control
The game ran fine until today, not it won't stop crashing every time I try to do anything, what the frick. >Try to level up, crash >Try to go to camp, crash >Try to start a convo, crash

>Enemy is called a MIND FLAYER >Let's try to talk with him!
Why does every group have someone like this?
Why does she never take 'no' for an answer? (yes, she. They're all women)
Why does she always waste hours of our time trying to talk to the Kobold, the Goblin, and the Werewolf?
Hours
Literal hours
She asks every fricking encounter if she can reason with the Drow, give the Gnoll a treat, or make an offering to the Gremlin
The answer is 'no' b***h. It was 'no' the first time you asked, why would it be different this time?
The Werewolf is fair enough, sometimes they're lucid enough to help and break the curse.
They're victims really, should be killed if a threat though.
werewolf party members are usually based. drow can also be reasoned with depending on the situation.
Not like you'd understand context though since you're a dumb frogposter.
had some one like that in our group >said she wanted to be a healer and quote "wanted to heal everyone and everything" >we already noticed a problem >getting really annoying, dragging out encounters with useless dialogue that ended in fights anyway, used group resources as offerings without asking, wasted time till some of us had to frick off to work and killed progress >DM was getting irritated as well >tell her multiple times chaotic evil homies and simply savage monsters cannot be reasoned with >she keeps at it >after couple sessions DM tells us he'll work it out >next session we're attacked by typical savages etc >she tries more pacifist shit while the rest of us are literally in the middle of combat >fails the check >expect typical she's attacked and we have to help because only healer >DM straight up says she's kidnapped and we're too occupied to help >her characters taken to some bumfrick cave, then proceeds to get literally bum fricked >she starts freaking the frick out, DM just says they're savage freaks what did she expect >session ends with her trapped >next session she's somehow surprised she's still in the rape cave >half the session its us exploring, finding loot under the guise of trying to find her, while she tries to escape and the DM is just throwing check after check at her, pass one, another one, till she fails and it ends with rape >she doesn't come to the third session of this scenario
In hindsight we could've just told her to stop coming
CR could be summarised by "remember when marisha did/tried/wanted to XYZ" and that should be enough of a deterrent for everybody. God I hate that stupid fricking b***h with a burning passion.
Is there a way to go back and re-pick the subclass thing you get as an option during one of the level ups? the one that gives you 3 choices? I kinda hate the one I picked but idk where the frick that menu was
Self-gratifying vengeance is evil. Attacking an opponent who cannot defend himself is evil. Not giving evildoers the chance to repent and turn from their ways is evil.
Vengeance yes, retribution is however perfectly fine and good.
They have to feel regretful to repent, if you judge that they're too dangerous then by all means kill them.
Prevention of harm from somebody that has.peocen they're dangerous is also fine.
Good thing the mindflayer is not defenseless at all as it managed to take over brains of countless morons trying to reason with it and killed them while getting a nice, new body. >mindflayer >repenting
lmao. There's a higher chance of an ant repenting for biting you and that chance is 0.
I was moronic and spent like an hour fighting him until I realized you could just shove those charmed enemies he reanimates and they start fighting with you after.

One thing I do hate is that you lack nuanced choices sometimes.
The situation in which a tiefling kid steals a locket for example, you can either side with the kid because the guy is about to hit him and let him get away with the theft, or side with the guy and pressure the kid further. How about giving me a choice to tell the dude to cool it at least first? If you let the kid get away with it, then steal the locket back, the guy admits his mom stole it from the place she worked at, and you can either chastise his annoyance or tell him that at least it's a keepsake no matter where it came from. Please let me tell him he should at least understand the kid a bit instead since this is clearly the point the quest is trying to make.
It's a small quest in the grand scheme of the game but stuff like that can get frustrating when you're trying to consistently roleplay a character.
>One thing I do hate is that you lack nuanced choices sometimes. >How about giving me a choice to tell the dude to cool it at least first?
What race/class are you playing? This sounds like a class action tbh, I've had a ton of interactions go almost exactly like that by reciting paladin oaths to people.
Dragonborn/Paladin. It's not a constant issue thankfully but occasionally I feel a bit unsatisfied with the choices.
You can, as a monk I told them both to calm down and take deep breaths, the kid told the adult that he took it because it looked like the one his mum has.
Kinda sucks they locked it to monk then, a skillcheck for other classes instead would have been nice. To be honest I'm not convinced the kid is telling the truth, I tried siding with the guy and the kid ends up saying the same thing, but he then runs away laughing after he gets given the locket. Still ends up in the thieves' chest too.
You can, as a monk I told them both to calm down and take deep breaths, the kid told the adult that he took it because it looked like the one his mum has.
It can do support stuff, magic stuff and sword stuff depending on your subclass.
But it really shines during checks and general dialogue options, which is most of the fun in these games.
I haven't talked to the mindflayer yet but holy shit playing a total psychopath and killing people for petty reasons while no one is watching is fun as frick
Don't kill everyone you need or you'll miss out on some good camp stuff, avoid revealing the urge to most but revel in the dialogue options.
Inside the provisions store in the grove out can break the legs of the girl that's supposed to be guarding the.
I already squished the brain because brains should not talk, backstabbed the count gaygula as he bid me farewell and good luck for trying to kill me, left the frog to die in the trap because she was too bossy on the nautiloid, and cut off gale's arm because the fricker didn't enjoy my high five. I might miss on shit but being a loony butthole and making up reasons to kill people is peak entertainment.
Only the hand part was dark urge, the other reasons are either available regardless (leave the frog in the cage, squish the brain) or were just made up by me to justify my borderline murderhoboing.

The class is pretty fricking good bros. I feel like everyone complaining about monk either hasn't played it or doesn't know how to read.
Elemental monk is great, the water whip has yet to.let me down and ice-knife is unfair to the enemies.
The only thing I don't like are the starting robes, I have yet to find new monk robes.
Casters are amazing after you babysit them for the first four levels
Even then it's not like they're bad in the earlygame either. Use your damn utility spells
Interact with the fireplace and you will see it’s an illusion, go through it and you’re at her lair. Talk to the living door and with some dialogue options it shows you it’s also an illusion, go through it. Kill the 4 slaves she throws at you. Cast protection of good and evil on your character and put on one of their masks. Now the poison and traps won’t trigger for you. Navigate with your party close behind. When you’re past all the traps remove the mask so you can fight the hag in the next room
Supposedly there’s a way to get masks before the slaves so they don’t agro you and you can save them after killing the hag, I only found out after already killing everyone, but you can try that. But you will need to cast protection on your whole party otherwise they get mind controlled
Blade is pretty good since it uses charisma for damage in this game, but if you are expecting spellblade type play style you're going to be disappointed
>brainfrick tag >always the male doing it
Come on man just gimme one atleast
It can do support stuff, magic stuff and sword stuff depending on your subclass.
But it really shines during checks and general dialogue options, which is most of the fun in these games.
i let asterion have the necromancy of thay and the israeliteel and there is a little cutscene of him opening it and reading. im sure that will be interesting later
How many times do I have to abuse the tadpole powers before I start getting visited by the dream ghost? I thought the detect thoughts power was tadpole related, but I guess not?
What the frick do I do here? From starting island theres only 2 rocks I can jump to and none of them lead to a way forward. Ive clicked jump on every single rock I can see and all of them are either Too Far or Invalid Target.
Fighter is kino, go with polearms, dual wielding is shit
Frickin hell. What's wrong with it specifically?
Why does dual wielding automatically use my offhand attack instead of letting me pick my bonus action?
There's an option that lets you toggle if you want the game to auto-use bonus actions and reactions, or if you want to be asked about them whenever they're available.
>What's wrong with it specifically?
You waste your bonus action for suboptimal damage. Might as well go two-handed and get the great weapon master feat to bonk people for 15 DMG
They aren't up to their potential, Eldritch Knight is a fantastic tank but you won't get three attacks until 11th level and when your whole bag is fighting it's a pretty bad thing.
So whats the best martial class now? All i have to go on is pre-release info which sucks because they made changes to it since then which makes the game different from 5e in certain ways.
>bard >bad
You get funny dialogue options and you can easily hold your own while also buffing yourself + the entire party. What's not to like?
You can even spec into college of swords if you want to just be an unga.
Because they're such a good support class that they can support on and off the battlefield better than most other support classes.
Bards can do fricking everything.
>talking with kagha >she's a fricking moron >quote the words of her god in true bard fashion >she fricking shuts up
Also it's fun to roleplay as a kinda homosexual but extremely ruthless when it comes to money bard.
Bard was already good as frick in 5e, tends to give you the best/most entertaining dialogue options in crpgs, and had a bunch of shit reworked from 5e in the first place.
College of Swords can literally do anime teleportation bullshit.
There are distinctions between devils, demons and half-devils in this world bro. Demons and Devils are at war with each other 24/7, and all teiflings are the result of devils somehow.
Used to be that Tieflings were the result of having an internal somewhere in you ancestry. That meant either a demon or a devil. Now it's just that you or somebody in your bloodline was exposed to infernal power or magic while still in the womb, tainting your bloodline.
Same for Aasimar which I am salty about not being in the game.
There's a reason why the creature is "evil" (which isn't a real concept, by the way). It probably grew up in a horrific environment as a child. There are ways to unlearn that behavior.
So how often do I actually need to long rest to advance the companions storylines? Should I just recruit everyone before I long rest for the first time? I'd imagine there is a time limit of sorts for long rests in Act 1 right?
How does the game handle it if you just go full edgelord psycho and attack everyone on sight? Can you go necromancer in this way?
This will influence my purchase
There's the Animate Dead spell for casters. From what I can tell it lets you raise things until your next long rest. At that point, I have no idea what happens to them. Spore Druids have their own form of necromancy that I'm not really sure how it works.
you can ally with the grove of druids to kill the goblins then ally with the goblins to backstab the grove then backstab the goblins while they're genociding the grove and then frick your evil drow wife with cute little breasts on the giant pile of corpses. and that's just half of the first chapter
larian went very far from their comfort zone in letting you just being an absolute bastard
Dark urge is literally "Be an evil schizo/resist being an evil schizo" playthrough. You can also just be an butthole in general but so far i haven't seen many mean/assholish options in the dialogue that aren't related to the urge.
I am having immense fun being/roleplaying a sociopath though and i am currently thinking about how can i free the little tiefling girl from the snake b***h, then stab her while no one is watching before she gets to her parents to thank me for saving her.
I haven't talked to the mindflayer yet but holy shit playing a total psychopath and killing people for petty reasons while no one is watching is fun as frick
Yep
I already squished the brain because brains should not talk, backstabbed the count gaygula as he bid me farewell and good luck for trying to kill me, left the frog to die in the trap because she was too bossy on the nautiloid, and cut off gale's arm because the fricker didn't enjoy my high five. I might miss on shit but being a loony butthole and making up reasons to kill people is peak entertainment.
that quest is literally bugged, I saw that cart way before I met the thief chick and now when I go back for the quest THERE'S NOTHING TO ADVANCE THE QUEST.
>Ask the writer dude to operate on me >Jabs a fricking ICEPICK into my eye destroying it >Apologizes and gives you a sick ass magical robot eye that gives you perma see invis
Well
>Gale constantly begging me for magic crack >don't give a frick and continue to sell every magic item I don't need for gold as he gets more and more insane
Man, vampires must really not be as big a deal in this world. Caught the vampire guy trying to give me the suck. He admitted he was a lesser vamp(no shit sherlock). Gave him some blood because why not he's been MVPing in most fights. And everyone else is like "Well he's not the weirdest person on our team so he can stay".
The fact you can just instakill him when he tries to succ u off and everybody is just like "well he was a weirdo so whatever" is hilarious to me
You really get the sense that the companions do not give a frick about eachother at all despite their daytime banter just so that they can accomodate player choice instead
You can banter with people you have to put up with, but what is actually happening is >oh this person I spent a week with was a vampire and tried to murder you >well, whatever
same goes for the >stuck up gith >ACOLYTE OF SHAR >annoying chuuni hero >know it all mage
>espite their daytime banter
What daytime banter are you getting? Because aside from Karlach, who most of the camp wants to be fricked by, most of their banter seems to consist of them trying to 1-up each other.
Play bard for the first four levels and then multi-class into paladin for the rest
Paladin is fun for how often you can claim to follow your Oath and people defer to your judgement.
I'm torn because I liked the idea of Bard as it feels like the most "adventurer" class, I'm pretty sure there's no Bard companion, it can use sword and shield and it should have interesting dialogue options. But I've read around that the immense majority of Bard options actually do nothing but piss off whoever you're talking to and start fights, which actually seems wierdly the opposite of what a Bard player would have wanted by picking the diplomancer class.
And on the other hand, being a knight is cool. Clad in heavy af armor and cutting an imposing figure, standing at the forefront of every fight which I'm not sure Bard can afford to.
i'm currently a lvl 5 vengeance paladin/1 bard with the dark urge path and i'm basically unkillable
22 ac, i take a flat 5 damage reduction against all physical sources, 18 str so i can smite people's head off their shoulders to satisfy my genocidal urges if they say anything even remotely below the neutral beltline
>rapist literally fricks your brain with his sperm
>teehee let me help him, he's kinda tall :3
why are femoids like this
a non-christian like you couldn't possibly understand
i will fricking rape your christian twat you dumb frick i will make you beg god to relieve you of your subhuman fricking life
do your worst
there's already a seat at His table reserved for me in heaven, meanwhile you will be stuck in this decaying world
sorry bro, people who get raped don't go to heaven. if you're a man, you would have commited homosexuality which is a carnal sin.
if you're a woman, you'd have commited fornication or adultery, depending on your marital status. eitherway, it's straight to the depths of hell with you
pretty sure you're supposed to turn the other cheek
did jesus lie to me???
turning the other cheek only works with fellow christians who believe in the same idea.
it doesn't work on others who do not. they will gladly take advantage of you and continue to walk all over you if you just 'turn the other cheek' to everything they do or say.
>raped by a Christian
>turn the other cheek
>still go to hell
>raped by anyone else
>turn the other cheek
>go to double hell
>marry someone
>rape them
>according to Leviticus loophole 12:47 you’re still going to Heaven
Big maths
literal galaxy brain logic
Marriage is a free rape license in case you didn't know. It date to times when women were property and even today if your wife refuses to be raped, the marriage is voided in most places. Until recently she wouldn't even have that option.
not like they can't just lie about being hit and steal the house and kids whenever they want
Turning the other cheek is an old Greek saying of slapping or punching someone back you absolute moronic Black person homosexual.
that's "Eye for an Eye" you dumbo
You're such a stupid motherfricker.
Turning the other cheek might have been a passive aggressive social gotcha thing. To hit you, they'd have to either use the other side of the hand, which was a social no-no, or use the other hand, which was an even bigger social no-no.
Hammurabi will NOT allow theeological copyright infringement. Also pretty sure Jesus did the whole cheek thing
>people who get raped don’t go to Heaven
Whew lad, would love to see where that’s quoted in the Torah/Quran/Bible, if for nothing else than to shit-stir in other threads.
it says so in the Satanic Bible, and that's good enough proof for me
>satanic bible
l o l e
that's why you pray to jesus to forgive you of your sins before you go to bed
its literally that easy, you don't even have to go to church, say 'jesus forgive me' and it's done, you are sinless again.
oh well if it's that easy i'll go murder some animals then and ask god to forgive me before i go to bed.
my conscience will be clean and i will be rid of all guilt over my previously done deeds as i drift off to sleep knowing god loves and forgives me
it's not even a sin to kill animals but sure go ahead if you feel guilty about it.
if it's not a sin then why do i get sent to prison for doing it?
because sin isn't law in the united states. we are an agnostic country.
how so? non humans have no soul.
>non humans have no soul.
why not?
i ate them all
i'm a fat frick
shut up, jesus
you were born out of wedlock
Killing for sport is pretty fricked.
Killing for necessity is another matter.
And the laws aren't made by the morally aligned, they're made by those who benefit.

It's considered destruction of property, which is theft. If the animals are yours, though, how do you think the entire meat industry operates? Did you think it was a black market good?
seems arbitrary

Wizards removed evil races and Mind Flayers are now le complex misunderstood innocent creatures
>Wizards removed evil races and Mind Flayers are now le complex misunderstood innocent creatures
>Protection from evil still works on them and all goblins, devils.
Yeah bud okay.
a wolf doesn't eat his prey because he's evil but because he's hungry
same case with Mind Flayers
That is not the case with Mindlfayers at all.
They're inter-planar slaver bastards connected to a hive mind that is actively malevolent and looking to break the wills of everything that isn't them.
You are a pet, food or an incubator to make more of themselves before you could be anything else.
Even the ones that escape the hive mind are slaves to the hunger for brains, even if they try to be more ethical about it.
Only for the races in the handbook.
The only real casualty of this is drow, but they've always been written as "Evil as a product of nuture, not nature" and Elistree has been in FR canon since 1992 I believe, and most of the evil depraved shit drow do was written to showcase just how depraved their society was when compared to good drow like Drizzt or neutral drow like his dad.
People have also been shoving good and neutral orcs into their settings for years now. You can blame Blizzard for that one.
I helped him because i wanted to help the mindflayers and become one so i can mind rape others. Is this possible in game
yes
You deserved to be punished for showing compassion to an evil creature.
correct. do not tolerate evil. destroy it. its why our world is so fricked. bleeding heart femoids and soicucks try to reason with evil.
Uh so I created this reply and meant "evil creature" in the sense of D&D's alignment system, where evil is a fundamental natural aspect that is detectable, quantifiable, and is opposed by a detectable, quantifiable good.
That's not like real life at all. You have childish, abhorrent ideas about people and should seek professional help, preferably in the form of lying down with your head beneath a bus's wheel.
Could you explain how individuals involved in drug gangs, who have reportedly engaged in heinous acts such as consuming the hearts of their cartel rivals, are not considered unequivocally evil?
how many milliliters of evil does it take to make you eat someone's heart
Evil is not quantifiable even in DND.
The character would just need to be "evil" to commit such an act.
A "Lawful Evil" character might eat the heart of his enemy as part of a strict code or set of rules they adhere to, even if those rules are seen as reprehensible by others. They believe in order, but use it to further their own sinister ends.
A "Neutral Evil" character might eat the heart of his enemy solely out of self-interest, without any regard for rules or disorder. They are primarily concerned with their own well-being and will use any means to ensure their survival or power.
A "Chaotic Evil" character might eat the heart of his enemy as an expression of their disdain for order, rules, and regard for others' lives. They believe in personal freedom and autonomy at the expense of others and are generally ruthless and unpredictable.
moral relativists are so fricking stupid
I assure you that a drug gang member that engages in eating the hearts of their cartel rivals, likely contemplates his actions far less philosophically than you give him credit for. These sub-90 IQ subhumans literally don't have a moral compass and don't feel any remorese. They honestly could be seen as indisputably evil when evaluated using RPG mechanics.
i hope your spine doesnt hurt after all this moronic mental gymnastics
you see an absolutely evil creature - you kill it, or at least don't help it
it simply doesn't know any better, it doesn't understand the concept of good or evil, it simply how it is, their whole nature
this is why I support race war on Black folk anyway
Take a critical thinking course. And a course on ethics. Morality is objective. People who put their profit and pleasure before the health and safety of others are objectively evil.
>only destroy evil in fantasy, not in real life, chuddie! Destroying evil in real life makes you childish!
You completely shat the bed with this one, kek. You destroyed your own for justification for why you twisted degenerates should exist without even realizing it, and now you need to backtrack. It's a glorious sight.
but he's sexy
They're not elves or dwarves you should kill every one of those bastards and not feel bad
You should kill all elves too.
No, dwarf bro.
Higher on the list are the gith, we should.kill those freaky goblinoids first.
You're one of those morons who'd try to "show compassion" to an injured bear and would subsequently get mauled.
But a bear is a low intelligence savage animal, it wouldn't have any comprehension of my feelings, but mindflayers are higher beings with intelligence and are attuned to social interactions, it should know I want to help, it just killing me isn't lore friendly, even if it's evil, it should at least know I'm not a threat since my mind is expressing sympathy and compassion, it should at least try to further manipulate or see me as some pawn or followers, not just kill me outright and blow its cover
it says in the dialog that it needs your brain right now to survive. the "compassion" it expects from you is to die for it.
>it just killing me isn't lore friendly,
They believe all lesser beings exist to serve them in their insane quest for domination. You are nothing to it. It is not your friend and would never ally with you in the same way you would never see a gnat as a friend.
But that doesn't make any sense, there is an insurmountable language barrier between me and a gnat, completely separated, but mindflayers understand us and can talk. Your analogy is fundamentally broken, underdark shows connections are possible
mind flayers are like the israelites of our world, but much worse
they see everyone as beneath them and as cattle to either serve them, or be sacrificed towards their ends
there is no reasoning with them
there is only extermination
exact description of how things are IRL
That's the same thing though. Gnats and Humans share plenty of traits unique to them that yet lesser organisms lack. If "has complex biology like limbs that allow it to move around" is a wrung on the "traits in common ladder", gnats and humans both reach that wrung, but algae doesn't. Humans and mindflayers both reach the "consciousness" wrung, but there are a bunch of wrungs above that unqiur to mindflayers that humans arent privvy to.
That's the defined structure of these make believe creatures. They're "above" the "lesser races" (at least in their own opinion).
Like what do you do when you just SEE ants inside your home? Even if they're not in your food yet and only in a corner not bothering anyone? You poison them all anyway. Same thing. You don't fricking matter to a mindflayer, get real.
>it should at least know I'm not a threat since my mind is expressing sympathy and compassion
How dumb do you have to be to think that the compassion and sympathy you feel for the Lovecraftian mind-controlling psychic that kidnapped you and is in the slow process of turning you into a copy of itself is your own
Mind Flayers are homosexuals. If you're trying to show compassion you deserve to get hurt.
That one in the underdark is a bro, though. Too bad they needed the frick out of the ring he gives.
>no longer blocks mindflayer frickery
What’s the FRICKING point
>That one in the underdark is a bro
There's one in the underdark? Where?
Mushroom camp, works with the half-orc
slightly related. should I help the fat mushroom kill the tall mushroom so he can usurp his throne? I don't have enough info in game to make an informed decision.
big mushroom better than small mushroom
simple as
your logic is infallible, I'm not sure how I didn't see it before. soon as I turn my pc on I'm going back to fell a shroom.
Fat mushroom lost. Would you want to place a loser and a fatty on the throne?
fat mushroom lost his land to invaders, got no help from tall mushroom, and fought with me to get his land back. tall mushroom whiny baby b***h, fat mushroom a go getter. an upstart gentlemen.
Gut fricking sucks lmao. Loser who lost so hard he had to grovel for Tav’s sloppy seconds
thats a bugbear oniichan, not a half orc

lol executed
>want to show compassion to a species that, at what is essentially a base level, sees you as a pet at best and an incubator for its child at worst
>gets fricked over
thats not the game fricking you over, moron, thats literally the setting itself. its like a beef cow wanting to show compassion to a butcher. did you skip all the cutscenes so you could find something you don't like as fast as possible?
>show compassion
>to a fricking mindflayer
what happens if you help it?
Your character gets the "simp" template applied, and you can no longer summon Ramuh
you get a brand new empty space where your brain used to be
they are evil after all, im not sure what anon expected
Literal game over. hope you saved
you kiss him and experience ecstasy anon

thats what you get for trying to save the BPD prostitutes
Can I just tell the yellow goblin b***h to frick off or is she like important to the main quest?
why don't you try making a decision yourself for once in your life you fricking coward, it's just a video game
Shart will try to kill her at some point.
there is almost no way to brick the main quest. if someone is meant to exist they will just get resurrected at the relevant point in time.
larian does this in all their games.
>bitches be like "I can fix him"
Granted not buying the game, but based off a picture some anon posted of the giant tentacle and ruined ship, I can only assume these fricks attacked you, and you still wanted to help the lovecraftian horror dressed as a saturday morning cartoon villain... I barely touched the NWN/BG series, but even I knew these fricks eat brains and look down on every other race like cattle.
>Witcher 3
>be a simp to women
>they abuse your trust and you get punished for it almost everytime
i wanted my own harem in witcher 3 but instead of accepting, those b***hes all just chain me to the bed and leave me to die 🙁
I played this game for like 20 minutes and i have no idea what's going on.
I managed to save a shadow chick or something and there's a brain following me.

I don't know how the scene could make it anymore obvious that the EVIL PSYCHIC MONSTER CALLED A *MIND FLAYER* is attempting to mind control you into doing its bidding and that this is almost certainly not a good thing. When have you ever encountered someone with literal mind control powers in any form of media and they WEREN'T an irredeemable turbo rapist psychopath?
purple glowing aura around the creature's evil cthulhu skull
options specifically use phrases like
"give in" and "break free"
Purple is the unofficial color of rape time.
anon forgot the part where in the first 5 seconds of this game, quite literally the opening cutscene, you see this exact creature put an evil tadpole in your eye that is going to dissolve your insides, eat your brain, and turn you into one of them. you have to be very legitimately moronic to trust one of these.

how exactly are their mouths even able to just split the skull open and suck out the brains?
is the pressure in their suck just THAT good?
mind flayers don't have mouths like that, they're more like the mouths of lampreys
I dunno man that devil hot his fricking skull chomped open and you can't do that without an articulated jaw.
they secrete enzymes which soften your flesh and bones so the tentacles can just schlorp on in and pull the brain out. they don't have beaks. octopus-like doesn't mean lmao octopus.
if a tadpole doesn't get implanted and survives it'll grow to the true form known as a neothelid, rather than the humanoid one. a gargantuan worm which can spit a cloud of enzymes that completely dissolve the victims except for their delicious cerebral sweetmeats
>have to reproduce this way to survive
>somehow this makes you evil
they shunted themselves back in time from the dying future of the universe to enslave all of existence. multiverses of fallen empires all conspiring across the astral plane to dominate everyone everywhere
What does being kissed, mouth and face fricked by a mindflayer feel like bros
Judging by how your character feels as they go out, nice, a druggy light-headed sensation, I've read stuff saying it feels catatonically orgasmic, all just mindflayer frickery to keep you docile
>catatonically orgasmic

No such thing. Mind flayers reproduce through tadpoles.
I DONT CAAAARREE

What's the point
what the frick I was just about to make this same post almost word for word
Make the emperor the empress and make her look like this and now I'm interested in squid romance
No int, just sex.
>scholar,doctor, lawyer
Well, he did eat their brains
I mean, you're all making it sound really bad for OP. All you do is start a dialogue with the mind flayer and it suddenly throws you into trying to resist his attempts to kiss you. I guarantee the majority of players had no idea that would happen. My first time I rolled a 1 (lmao) reloaded then just shot him with an arrow
no, frick you moron, did you skip the entire fricking opening cutscene and introductory portion of the game because it didn't have slowed+reverbed hip hop music or some shit
I roll to seduce the mind flayer.
>>want to help and show compassion
PfffffffffHAHAHAH those creatures only just injected you with a brain worm and you wanted to save them? You're a walking Darwin award waiting to happen. When the NPC i was with said "beware the cthulushit, he's wounded" i immediately started looking for the biggest nuke i had on my action bar.
Imagine doing anything else.
>inherently evil races are ba-ACK!
Mindflayers aren't deserving of compassion because they have none to give. All they care about is knowledge.
France?
What's the point of the guardian? I spent a while to make her look hot bur she's not even with me in the brain room.
she shows up in a few other scenes to talk to you
it doesn't really matter in the end though cause the guardian is just an illusion cast by a sentient mind flayer whose helping you stave off the infection that's supposed to turn you into a mind flayer. he uses the image of that character you created as a means to get you to trust it and help you do what must be done.
Shit, so no custom made waifu romance then?
You can still romance them.

Mandatory tadpole removal for infected. Grind tadpoles in the garbage disposal. Drown illithids in fried chicken grease. Vaporize illithids with Power Word(Kill). Kick old illithids down the stairs. Feed illithids to druids wildshaped into alligators. Divine Smite illithids with a katana.
by the way, you cannot achieve the good ending in this unless you either turn into a mind flayer and do what must be done yourself, or trust another mind flayer to do what you were supposed to do and save the day.
so youre saying the game is rigged and that we should doom faerun into collapse and rule as an evil emperor until we find a time machine.
>go the old one
>literally just read peoples minds and intimidate them
am i a school bully?
you can let the vampire suck you to death a little later too. its not a game over since they can just revive your character but its pretty funny.
should just stake that homosexual through the heart the moment it tries to feast on you tbh
the option did present itself but he apologized and got a buff from it so its okay
I've played through act 1 a million times and I always killed that fricker for acting like a moron at the start. this time I said I would let it slide and let him live. then he fricking tries to drink my blood in the middle of the night. I'm pissed. I couldn't even kill him, he just ran away.
Just like real life ;_;
>orcs being inherently evil is racis!!
>ew grow squid they are inherently evil
which way wizards?
The mind flayers aren't racist stereotypes of any real world races. Kinda a big difference.
but mind flayers are literally israelites
>black people are orcs!!!
you fricking racists lmao. like it's funny but it's clearly not true.
but mind flayers are quite literally white men from the British Empire. they want to dominate others and turn their colonies into their own while using others from the occupied zones as their slaves that do their bidding.
As a Paladin, how should I regard vampire spawn and all the other races?
With extreme prejudice.
Letting the vampire party member live doesn't break any oaths so do whatever you want
t. vengeancetard that still hasn't found a way to break oath
If you side with the goblins for the raid on the grove you will break your oath even as an oath of vengeance paladin.
>Even as an oath of Vengeance.
Well yeah, your oath just helped vicious murderers that you should've been slaughtering in the name of avenging their victims.
dude mind flayers are literally worse than than the worst demons
like you have to be actually moronic to not curbstomp one the second you get the opportunity, they are genuinely irredeemable parasites that deserve genocide
did you help that demon curbstomp the mindflayer on the tutorial ship? cause I bet you didn't.
NTA but I actually did try and the game didn't let me. I also let the wounded mindflayer eat my brain so not a good track record.
>not genociding mind flayers are literally every opportunity
homie you know
did you kill all tadpole infected including yourself? no? tentacle aligned frick.
Saving people from mind flayers is even better.
Honestly though, why not just true resurrect?
but demon guy has a cool sword anon, i want it
>help mindflayer kill demon
>mindflayer starts attacking me
Guess he didn't love me enough.
It literally sees you as food.
Showing compassion to evil people is how we got into this mess IRL in the first place.
your fault, in this setting mind flayers are 100% evil race, almost like an equivalent to black people for us, and even if you don't know about it, the fact that they eye raped you, you saw them turning and using other races and the game literally tells you the only reason they are not attacking you inside the ship is because the worm makes them believe you are one of them already. all that should be enough for you to know they are evil
Afraid of christianity?
Be honest Ganker, is there anything in this game that indicates it should actually be 150gb in filesize? Because that is what's keeping me from getting the game because it means deleting like 5 other games to make room for it.
>doesn't have a 2 tb ssd in 2023
Anon....
I have a 250gb for my actual OS and stuff that I don't put games on, 2 500gb SSDs for games, and an 8TB external HDD that I use as a media server. Sure, I have plenty of room on the external...if I want to kill the damn thing.
I plan to get a 4TB one on black friday, but that's a while away. Hopefully by then the game drops in price too.
It has a metric shitton of voiced lines and assets and cutscenes and whatever.
It's a big game.
Is the voice acting good?
Are you a homosexual male or a straight female?
most corpses and animals have optional cutscenes if you reanimate/talk to them with voice acting
Unironically it has some of the best VA I've ever heard in any game. Even mundane NPCs have fantastic VA.
Oh yeah. I really enjoy having a middle aged amateur theater-tier roastie narrate what is happening literally in front of me. Frick off. This game is so goddamn obnoxious, like holy shit.
It's actually pretty good, but you'll miss a lot of it if you don't have talk to animals or speak to the dead.
This scene actually kinda makes me want to play the game. Why didn't the marketing campaign be a bunch of outtakes of the player falling for obvious dialog traps and getting mercilessly killed for being a stupid moron instead of memes about gay bestiality?
I didn't want to show compassion I just wanted to see where it went.
I think realistically I'm just going to have to actually finish some of my games and uninstall them.
Just like real life.
>want to play with the added enemy abilities of hard mode
>don't want to deal with the stupid gay shit like +2 to hit and AC and extra HP on every mob
why does every rpg dev feels like just giving BIGGER NUMBER makes sense in their game even when it doesn't
the entire point of bounded accuracy is to not have this dumbass number creep happen in the first place
it's bad enough they modify shit like the brute damage die or fury of the small to make it even stupider
they just have to frick with accuracy because missing more often is LE HARD
>showing compassion for a lovecraftian abomination
My character is a warlock, I am already communed with a lovecraftian abomination.
>you can kill the final boss in act 2 and it ends the game
lol
Does this game use 5e?
a modified 5e
Modified how so?
enemies have abiilities they shouldn't have and do way more damage than they should, mainly
and some irrelevant environmental effects to elemental spells
>keep using your tadpole bro dude trust me get more sick brain powers it'll be worth it if you want your tadpole out
>also absolutely do not trust your butler trust me not him
I don't think I should trust this guy

Since when were you told being a good person meant you got rewarded you child. Being a good person comes at a personal cost, that's why so few people do it.

Mindflayers are born evil and cannot change their alignment. They're born psychopaths with no physical ability to empathize with or care for human life. They're only happy when you suffer and die and they triumph.
Tfw mindflayers are real

They're not outlined in orange, but neither was infernal iron, which is important
what happened to that little brain you subdued at the start? is he possible to find after the ship crash?
He ded.
Yes. He is alive but you won't see him until near the end of act 2.
>he relaxed
Just as much your fault tbh senpai
If you read the old 1/2E era Monster Manuals, Illithids are indeed an "evil empire", and the reason they are like that is because they consider the overworld unclean. You know, after reading this thread and contemplating the nature of a game that sells bear sex, and I think the Illithids are actually right.
around mindflayers never relax

You poor naive soul.
is this game as hard as divinty 2?
i couldnt get past the first act in divinity 2 because how quickly everyone dies
Some fights are going to sack you pretty hard at first. There are usually ways to gain an advantage using the environment so they want to explore to make fights easier. Some story fights are hard to make easier so you do need an understanding of the rules. I'd say sometimes it's much easier than DOS2 and other times it's harder.
>single mindflayer drooped on one end of a typical human planet
>single genestealer dropped on other end
Who mind fricks the most and in the ultimately collision, each other
I dunno but that sounds pretty gay no matter who wins
Mindflayer is fricked unless he can construct a portal to call his fellows or dominate some thralls, it'll take a lot more time in the short term but he can build a decent base and the rest will take care of itself.
Genestealer has a harder start but depending on the breeding he'll have more to work with until the fourth gen, then they'll spread faster than the mild flayer can control

Do mindflayers even have genitals
They have genticles
I thought they were hermaphroditic
does this game have good feet? Does it have open toed footwear for male and female characters
ye
What outfit is that?
NOOOO he's a Trump suppo, i mean a mind flayer. he's just bad okay?
meds, now
So can mindflayers be good? Like only eating evil people, or are they all inherently evil?
the only good mindflayer is a dead mindflayer
The game ran fine until today, not it won't stop crashing every time I try to do anything, what the frick.

So I got Ethel to frick off and give me the buff and the chick, so is the wand I was supposed to find here just gone or what? some walkthroughs say that there should be something here to go on with whatsername's husband's quest.
I just killed Ethel. Mayrina is an absolute piece of shit I should have left her there.
Maybe the hag takes it when she leaves
I had it and I gave it to the baby selling prostitute so she can go have fun with her zombie husband

Why does every group have someone like this?
Why does she never take 'no' for an answer? (yes, she. They're all women)
Why does she always waste hours of our time trying to talk to the Kobold, the Goblin, and the Werewolf?
Hours
Literal hours
She asks every fricking encounter if she can reason with the Drow, give the Gnoll a treat, or make an offering to the Gremlin
The answer is 'no' b***h. It was 'no' the first time you asked, why would it be different this time?
The Werewolf is fair enough, sometimes they're lucid enough to help and break the curse.
They're victims really, should be killed if a threat though.
agree with
werewolf party members are usually based. drow can also be reasoned with depending on the situation.
Not like you'd understand context though since you're a dumb frogposter.
>lemme talk to this mind flayer nothing bad can happen

In hindsight we could've just told her to stop coming
She needed a bit of reality check.
thats sad, her character seemed like she was sweet, i would have wanted to protect her innocence...
No one here watches critical role (and that's a good thing) but remember when marisha tried to be friends with a mindflayer? lmao
CR could be summarised by "remember when marisha did/tried/wanted to XYZ" and that should be enough of a deterrent for everybody. God I hate that stupid fricking b***h with a burning passion.
What do you guys do with books
They keep cluttering my inventories
Is there a way to go back and re-pick the subclass thing you get as an option during one of the level ups? the one that gives you 3 choices? I kinda hate the one I picked but idk where the frick that menu was

Self-gratifying vengeance is evil. Attacking an opponent who cannot defend himself is evil. Not giving evildoers the chance to repent and turn from their ways is evil.
Simple as.
>Attacking an opponent who cannot defend himself is evil
bro the mind flayer is LITERALLY trying to mind-rape you in that scene. he wasn't repentant at all.
She's just a dumb chick that got tricked like all the others in there.
I stopped that frickers head in and the Gods saw fit to not brand me an Oathbreaker. QED
Vengeance yes, retribution is however perfectly fine and good.
They have to feel regretful to repent, if you judge that they're too dangerous then by all means kill them.
Prevention of harm from somebody that has.peocen they're dangerous is also fine.
Good thing the mindflayer is not defenseless at all as it managed to take over brains of countless morons trying to reason with it and killed them while getting a nice, new body.
>mindflayer
>repenting
lmao. There's a higher chance of an ant repenting for biting you and that chance is 0.
Evil is fun and good making all of the things you've listed good and fun to do.
do moon druids get wis to damage rolls? halsin has 10 str so i just made him a caster.
Halsin loves his Wildshape, which gives you the stats of the animal you morph into.

triple jump and feather fall should make it a fricking joke but they keep fricking up
I just feather falled and jumped around a bit. I only got hit by two traps and had to waste a half rest.

And

When your unofficially elected leader starts to throw in the towel, it's disheartening for the rest of the group.

>blind compassion isn't the right solution to every problem
Pretty problematic of you, larian
One thing I do hate is that you lack nuanced choices sometimes.
The situation in which a tiefling kid steals a locket for example, you can either side with the kid because the guy is about to hit him and let him get away with the theft, or side with the guy and pressure the kid further. How about giving me a choice to tell the dude to cool it at least first? If you let the kid get away with it, then steal the locket back, the guy admits his mom stole it from the place she worked at, and you can either chastise his annoyance or tell him that at least it's a keepsake no matter where it came from. Please let me tell him he should at least understand the kid a bit instead since this is clearly the point the quest is trying to make.
It's a small quest in the grand scheme of the game but stuff like that can get frustrating when you're trying to consistently roleplay a character.
>One thing I do hate is that you lack nuanced choices sometimes.
>How about giving me a choice to tell the dude to cool it at least first?
What race/class are you playing? This sounds like a class action tbh, I've had a ton of interactions go almost exactly like that by reciting paladin oaths to people.
Dragonborn/Paladin. It's not a constant issue thankfully but occasionally I feel a bit unsatisfied with the choices.
Kinda sucks they locked it to monk then, a skillcheck for other classes instead would have been nice. To be honest I'm not convinced the kid is telling the truth, I tried siding with the guy and the kid ends up saying the same thing, but he then runs away laughing after he gets given the locket. Still ends up in the thieves' chest too.
You can, as a monk I told them both to calm down and take deep breaths, the kid told the adult that he took it because it looked like the one his mum has.

Best class.
Is bard really that good? What does it even do?
It can do support stuff, magic stuff and sword stuff depending on your subclass.
But it really shines during checks and general dialogue options, which is most of the fun in these games.
at least once you learn sharpshooter you'll do like 20+ dmg with a decent bow
I'm surprised by how much use I've been getting out of Speak with Dead and Speak with Animals.

Advantages bonuses offered by high-ground or low light vision.
How can I maximise the power of Eldritch Blast since it's the only thing Warlock can apparently do?
I haven't talked to the mindflayer yet but holy shit playing a total psychopath and killing people for petty reasons while no one is watching is fun as frick
Are you playing dark urge?
Yep
Don't kill everyone you need or you'll miss out on some good camp stuff, avoid revealing the urge to most but revel in the dialogue options.
Inside the provisions store in the grove out can break the legs of the girl that's supposed to be guarding the.
ANON?
DO IT
I already squished the brain because brains should not talk, backstabbed the count gaygula as he bid me farewell and good luck for trying to kill me, left the frog to die in the trap because she was too bossy on the nautiloid, and cut off gale's arm because the fricker didn't enjoy my high five. I might miss on shit but being a loony butthole and making up reasons to kill people is peak entertainment.
wtf dark urge sounds kino as hell
Only the hand part was dark urge, the other reasons are either available regardless (leave the frog in the cage, squish the brain) or were just made up by me to justify my borderline murderhoboing.

The class is pretty fricking good bros. I feel like everyone complaining about monk either hasn't played it or doesn't know how to read.
Elemental monk is great, the water whip has yet to.let me down and ice-knife is unfair to the enemies.
The only thing I don't like are the starting robes, I have yet to find new monk robes.

That sounds like wizardry to me.
Nah, using ki basically turns you I to the avatar.
I'm playing monk. I was hoping to be able to use fists only but I feel like I'm gimping myself if I'm not using a quarterstaff
Only until you choose the open palm subclass. Then you're never gonna use any weapon again.

Just make a balanced party and you'll be fine bro
Casters are amazing after you babysit them for the first four levels
Even then it's not like they're bad in the earlygame either. Use your damn utility spells
How do i enter the hag's domain and pass her toxic fumes and traps?
Interact with the fireplace and you will see it’s an illusion, go through it and you’re at her lair. Talk to the living door and with some dialogue options it shows you it’s also an illusion, go through it. Kill the 4 slaves she throws at you. Cast protection of good and evil on your character and put on one of their masks. Now the poison and traps won’t trigger for you. Navigate with your party close behind. When you’re past all the traps remove the mask so you can fight the hag in the next room
Supposedly there’s a way to get masks before the slaves so they don’t agro you and you can save them after killing the hag, I only found out after already killing everyone, but you can try that. But you will need to cast protection on your whole party otherwise they get mind controlled
Pact of the blade or pact of the chain? Is blade cool or does it just sound cool?
Hope you've got your fedora equipped
Blade is pretty good since it uses charisma for damage in this game, but if you are expecting spellblade type play style you're going to be disappointed
did u guys do mountain pass or underdark
Underdark. Should have went through the montainpass, missed Laezel's entire Act 2 sidequest

You have to start meeting the othe True Souls or inject a second tadpole.
What the frick do I do here? From starting island theres only 2 rocks I can jump to and none of them lead to a way forward. Ive clicked jump on every single rock I can see and all of them are either Too Far or Invalid Target.
Teleport out and come back when you have jumping/falling potions, spells or scrolls.
I have Gale, I already have all those.
Enhance Leap doesnt work.
Is fighter actually bad, or is it another monk situation where morons are getting filtered?
I wanted to go dual swords fighter.
Fighter's fine. Dual wielding isn't.
Frickin hell. What's wrong with it specifically?
There's an option that lets you toggle if you want the game to auto-use bonus actions and reactions, or if you want to be asked about them whenever they're available.
>There's an option that lets you toggle
Oh shit. Thanks dude. Thought I would need a mod.
>What's wrong with it specifically?
You waste your bonus action for suboptimal damage. Might as well go two-handed and get the great weapon master feat to bonk people for 15 DMG
Fighter is kino, go with polearms, dual wielding is shit
They aren't up to their potential, Eldritch Knight is a fantastic tank but you won't get three attacks until 11th level and when your whole bag is fighting it's a pretty bad thing.
Fighter is great (Battlemaster in particular) but you shouldn't go dual wielding.
Dual wield is good if you're a ranger or bard, fighter's dual wielding is just out-fricking-classed by its other options.
Why does dual wielding automatically use my offhand attack instead of letting me pick my bonus action?
So whats the best martial class now? All i have to go on is pre-release info which sucks because they made changes to it since then which makes the game different from 5e in certain ways.
Define best, Barbarian is really good but Fighter is also really good.
It depends on what flavour of face mashing you want.
So for Warlock it's Fiend>>>>GOO>>>>>>>>
The choice is basically aesthetic since nothing comes of it and you don't meet your patron
It's not only aesthetic since Old One gives fear on crit which is very powerful in this game.
Why is everyone hyping Bard all of a sudden? I thought they were supportcucks?
>bard
>bad
You get funny dialogue options and you can easily hold your own while also buffing yourself + the entire party. What's not to like?
You can even spec into college of swords if you want to just be an unga.
Because they're such a good support class that they can support on and off the battlefield better than most other support classes.
Bards can do fricking everything.
Because they are actually good jack of all trades AND they get a shitton of hilarious interactions because they are so fricking melodramatic.
>talking with kagha
>she's a fricking moron
>quote the words of her god in true bard fashion
>she fricking shuts up
Also it's fun to roleplay as a kinda homosexual but extremely ruthless when it comes to money bard.
Bro bards are probably the best class in 5e.
Bard was already good as frick in 5e, tends to give you the best/most entertaining dialogue options in crpgs, and had a bunch of shit reworked from 5e in the first place.
College of Swords can literally do anime teleportation bullshit.
they fudge dice which it turns out is the most broken thing possible in a board game
So Withers is Jergal right?
yes
Fighterbros, how's champion? The wiki is dogshit.
Why do you need to be handheld? Just play the fricking game, you can respec at any time.
I just wanna know what the subclass can do mate, the in-game info is pretty bad and a quick search online didn't tell me shit.
Thanks bros
>just dump hours into a shit build instead of having a good time the whole way through
what is the name of this mental disorder?
big crits
Boring. Champion is "passive skills: the subclass". You will be doing attacks and nothing else. You will attack like no one else though.
It's brainless and hard to frick up, all about hitting and increases your critical threat range.
>black dude at camp
>I HAET DEMON
>mc: demon friend?
>ok like demon
bravo miyazaki
Tieflings aren't demons.
t. demon
There are distinctions between devils, demons and half-devils in this world bro. Demons and Devils are at war with each other 24/7, and all teiflings are the result of devils somehow.
Used to be that Tieflings were the result of having an internal somewhere in you ancestry. That meant either a demon or a devil. Now it's just that you or somebody in your bloodline was exposed to infernal power or magic while still in the womb, tainting your bloodline.
Same for Aasimar which I am salty about not being in the game.
WHERE THE FRICK IS ARABELLA'S PARENTS
At the steps with the druids and bear.
The entire camp is empty now though? because I did the quest to kill off all the goblins but idk where these parents are now
Can you still recruit gale later on even if you have a bit of fun with his hand?
>showing compassion for the evil creature actively trying to kill you
why are leftists like this?
There's a reason why the creature is "evil" (which isn't a real concept, by the way). It probably grew up in a horrific environment as a child. There are ways to unlearn that behavior.
PURELY SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS
why are israelites so desperate to convince you immorality has no consequences
Only just now noticed the immense amount of people taking the OP post seriously and as a personal offense to their political ideology lmao.
>plug controller in assuming it would be a comfy experience
>wait how do i access my rows of abilities
>see this
LOL
controller is actually pretty good if you bother to rebind shit
So how often do I actually need to long rest to advance the companions storylines? Should I just recruit everyone before I long rest for the first time? I'd imagine there is a time limit of sorts for long rests in Act 1 right?
I rarely rest and seem to trigger a pop-up each rest. I guess it depends on how they're approval is going.
I thought I was gonna get an owlbear cub as a pet like Scratch but Shadowheart spooked the thing and it ran away.
>he failed the check
There wasn't a check when he showed up for me, was there one in EA?
How does leveling up work? you cant put points into attributes anymore? i miss DOS2
Be abuse it's.running.off.DnD not Divinity.
m-mommy...
>4 horns
>4 handlebars
How does the game handle it if you just go full edgelord psycho and attack everyone on sight? Can you go necromancer in this way?
This will influence my purchase
There's a necromancy book in the game that gives you summonable ghouls if you finish reading it.
There's the Animate Dead spell for casters. From what I can tell it lets you raise things until your next long rest. At that point, I have no idea what happens to them. Spore Druids have their own form of necromancy that I'm not really sure how it works.
you can ally with the grove of druids to kill the goblins then ally with the goblins to backstab the grove then backstab the goblins while they're genociding the grove and then frick your evil drow wife with cute little breasts on the giant pile of corpses. and that's just half of the first chapter
larian went very far from their comfort zone in letting you just being an absolute bastard
Dark urge is literally "Be an evil schizo/resist being an evil schizo" playthrough. You can also just be an butthole in general but so far i haven't seen many mean/assholish options in the dialogue that aren't related to the urge.
I am having immense fun being/roleplaying a sociopath though and i am currently thinking about how can i free the little tiefling girl from the snake b***h, then stab her while no one is watching before she gets to her parents to thank me for saving her.
based murder schizo minmaxing his bloody rampage
FRICKING HELL YOU CAN'T KILL CHILDREN IN THIS
THE LITTLE b***h SURVIVES WITH 0 HP AND CONTINUES TO RUN
LARIAN JUST HAD TO RUIN EVERYTHING
>you can't kill children in this
You can kill plenty of kids though. That specific one's just scripted as hell
That scamming tiefling kid wouldn't die when I smacked him, he just ran off
based murder schizo waiting for the kid to grow up with all sorts of trauma before killing them and their loved ones years in the future
Well frick, guess i'll just kill the parents then free her and hope i can kill her outside.
Hopefully they aren't as scripted.
This is going to be hard.
I need to somehow kill both of them and not get into trouble
Kill the druids.
sorry, daddy halsin won't like that
No. Just about everyone in the camp was nice to me so why would I go and kill them?
I murdered everyone before even finding her
I want to kill just the druids though, the tieflings are good folk, except the kids.
WTF am I supposed to do here can't interact with anything for this quest?
that quest is literally bugged, I saw that cart way before I met the thief chick and now when I go back for the quest THERE'S NOTHING TO ADVANCE THE QUEST.
Great game design baldurcucks
>Ask the writer dude to operate on me
>Jabs a fricking ICEPICK into my eye destroying it
>Apologizes and gives you a sick ass magical robot eye that gives you perma see invis
Well
Upgrades people! Upgrades!
Volo's alignment is chaotic good.
is there a way to get death stalker mantle without being on evil route? where even is it??
>He's a ranger, out of the Underdark, goes by the name...Drizzt
Was it kino?
>Gale fricking DIES because I'm shit
>literal ghost comes back to b***h at me to revive him
man literally too fricking annoying to die
And you HAVE to revive him too, or he'll annoy you in an entirely different way.
>Gale constantly begging me for magic crack
>don't give a frick and continue to sell every magic item I don't need for gold as he gets more and more insane
>10 hours to pirate this game
>played for 3 h
>unistall.sh

Man, vampires must really not be as big a deal in this world. Caught the vampire guy trying to give me the suck. He admitted he was a lesser vamp(no shit sherlock). Gave him some blood because why not he's been MVPing in most fights. And everyone else is like "Well he's not the weirdest person on our team so he can stay".
The fact you can just instakill him when he tries to succ u off and everybody is just like "well he was a weirdo so whatever" is hilarious to me
You really get the sense that the companions do not give a frick about eachother at all despite their daytime banter just so that they can accomodate player choice instead
>despite their daytime banter
The gith and elf are constantly one step away from stabbing each other while I'm out adventuring lol
Shadowheart and Lae'zel damn near killed each other on one occasion I bet if I didn't intervene they would have done it too.
You can banter with people you have to put up with, but what is actually happening is
>oh this person I spent a week with was a vampire and tried to murder you
>well, whatever
same goes for the
>stuck up gith
>ACOLYTE OF SHAR
>annoying chuuni hero
>know it all mage
>annoying chuuni hero
who?
THE BLADE
>he hasn't met the blade of frontiers
How did you skip him? He's in one of the major act 1 areas.
Not talking to people, I guess. I feel like Gale is more easy to miss than Wyll.
I didn't, but I don't really talk to him cause he's black and Karlach spared him when I offered to kill him.
>espite their daytime banter
What daytime banter are you getting? Because aside from Karlach, who most of the camp wants to be fricked by, most of their banter seems to consist of them trying to 1-up each other.
>role playing game
>can't role play as the mind flayer
Is True Strike useless or am I just dumb?
It's helping a ton for my Sneak Attack skill as a rogue
even taking a whole turn to cast?
yeah a 99% high damage hit over 2 turns is worth it
Someone help me make up my mind, I'm torn between Paladin and Bard. Either way I wanna go leveling Cha and be as tanky as I can afford to.
Then it's paladin if you want to be tanky.
Bard is undoubtedly more entertaining.
I'm torn because I liked the idea of Bard as it feels like the most "adventurer" class, I'm pretty sure there's no Bard companion, it can use sword and shield and it should have interesting dialogue options. But I've read around that the immense majority of Bard options actually do nothing but piss off whoever you're talking to and start fights, which actually seems wierdly the opposite of what a Bard player would have wanted by picking the diplomancer class.
And on the other hand, being a knight is cool. Clad in heavy af armor and cutting an imposing figure, standing at the forefront of every fight which I'm not sure Bard can afford to.
bard can tank if you build for it
just make a cha paly then
Should i go 12 sword bard or 10 sword bard 2 warlock for eldrich blast
Play bard for the first four levels and then multi-class into paladin for the rest
Paladin is fun for how often you can claim to follow your Oath and people defer to your judgement.
i'm currently a lvl 5 vengeance paladin/1 bard with the dark urge path and i'm basically unkillable
22 ac, i take a flat 5 damage reduction against all physical sources, 18 str so i can smite people's head off their shoulders to satisfy my genocidal urges if they say anything even remotely below the neutral beltline
Speaking of dice, I was thinking of making a Half-ling Divination Wizard with the Lucky feat and am wondering how broken that'd be in this game.
>Karlach jumps half way across the battle with the tiger buff
Sorry Laezel, but I have a new "jumps good" lady.
do the gith lady and shadowheart eventually start making out?
I think they have a Morrigan/Leiliana deal where they hate each other, and hate when the other is getting attention from the PC.
>showing mercy to a gh*ik

So, are there any ways of killing the goblin leaders stealthily, or did they frick it up?
