She has NO good ending
Ending 1: She dies
Ending 2: She becomes a mindflayer
Ending 3: She goes to hell and becomes the Devil's slave / b***h again
Ending 4: Her "good" end. Wyll sells his soul that he can follow her to hell and protect her. No, you DON'T get to go with them if you romanced her

Full breakdown on the endings here. Reddit is currently seething because they romanced her en masse, and are now cucked out of a good ending with their waifu
>I'm so so happy and glad I could be the bearer of goodish news.
It says so much about these devs and playerbase that
>being cucked by a Black person
translates to
>goodish news
Imagine how much gooder the news would be if it was 5 Black folk and a muzzy
>good news, fellow redditor, we get cucked by a black man 🙂
lel, this might be the most current year post on the internet
That's what you get for not romancing Shawocute lmao
>morons seething at their own ignorance
Moment it was brought up she was contracted to the Blood War I knew she could never have a good end.
That's not very creative of you.
Every D&D player knows sometimes you have to scam the Devil every once in a while.
The Nameless One tried for millennia to save his soul from the blood war and in the end had to accept his fate and atone for his misdeeds. if TNO couldn't get out of the Blood War, no one else will.
Is TNO even canon.
>willingly getting cucked by Wyll
>when you can cuck Wyll instead and make him listen to Mizora's moans at night
Can you not romance Karlach and also have Wyll save her if you complete his questline?
It's reddit but in a cute way. I like her here.
>"Wheeyy."
>Make sweet hearted girl as love interest
>give her the worst fricking endings possible
I hate this trope so much, and I've hated it for over a decade. It's the kind of shit I would do writing stuff as a angsty teenager rather than an adult that realizes the value of just letting good things happen in fiction for once, I see so many writers try to "subvert expectations" but don't realize that the biggest way they could subvert my expectations in 2023 is to just be nice to their characters and let them have something meaningful that can't be taken away.
>it's Viconia all over again
But why
Some people just want to cause pain
Even worse, at least in Viconia's romance it is implied that you go on a rampage.
Uh, what? Aerie's was the dedicated sweet-hearted girl of BG2 and her endings were based.
who in the Black person is Darkstar? This reads like some shitty fanfic so I dismiss it.
blessed post, modern writers with their tragedy wank are boring and predictable
>boring and predictable
Yeah, and this is why I brought up the subject of "subverting expectations", because the moment I see a genuinely nice, likeable character I want to spend time with, my first thought is
>"Ah, alright, what's gonna happen to this pleasant person who's mentioning that they can't wait to get home to their family and that they've only got 2 more weeks until retirement, writers don't have restraint, something's gonna happen, I shouldn't get attached."
>sweet hearted girl
nothing sweet about her. she looks like a tumblrina hambeast. i decapped her first chance i got.
>she looks like a tumblrina hambeast.
>hambeast.
Anon, she's not fat. She's fit. Don't care that you killed her though.
>fit
she has the constitution of a fricking fridge, lol
there are no abs or visible bulging muscles on her.
>Nothing sweet about her
>*proceeds to describe physical characteristics*
idiot
Outside reflects inside, cope uggo.
Me with ff16
Agreed, genuinely pisses me off that devs think we want "sad endings" in games. Frick you, I want Clive to kill Ultima, say "No more magic" and go frick Jill raw.
Someone had to write that book, and it wasn’t the corpse that Clive failed to Raise with his vessel magic
>Someone had to write that book
Doesn't matter, your last shot of characters we care about is Jill and Gav fricking crying over Clive dying. I do not care about two random kids playing Eikons.
The thing that burned me the most is that it looks like he survives it all when he washed up on the beach only to die in the next few seconds. Like a pointless damn frick you for wanting Clive to be happy. . Killed my mood entirely.
>failed
Joshua’s name is on the book. I think Clive managed to do one last impossible good deed for his bro
The ending was confusing in general. Gave almost zero closure.
>Joshua’s name is on the book
Best boy got to live?
Joshua is dead, it's literally giga confirmed. The book's author knew all the details of final battle including the quote that became its title. This can only be one person and it's Clive who took Joshua's name to finish the book.
Why would Clive take Joshua’s name to finish the book? Didn’t Clive die on the beach?
>Harpocrates gives him a quill and tells him to be a writer when his adventure ends
>Clive has a history of taking code names throughout the game (Wyvern, Cid, Joshua)
>Clive is right handed and only his left hand turns to stone in the ending
>Jill constantly wishes upon the red moon however states in her side quest that Clive ALWAYS comes back when the dawn comes
>last shot Jill sees of the moon pans down to the dawn coming up over the horizon
There are multiple things leading to the conclusion that he is alive.
It's not that they want "sad endings". They just didn't want you to pick anyone but their waifu Laezel
Cam and Viconia were the same way. The former not king hearted but her endings are pretty fricking lame
Man, never read a modern Spider-man comic, that's all I can tell you.
yeah i'm real sick and tired of endings just being shit or 'bittersweet'
i hate when they give you 'multiple endings' but the other endings besides the good ones are because you made the wrong choices during quests, no you don't get a different outcome that is interesting, it just fails x3 with different flavour text but the one choice is the objectively correct answer
Reddit? How
She is most Ganker tier character I've ever seen
Nothing is more Reddit than Ganker
cringe
Jesus christ, why is she american?
Where in America do people have anything close to that accent
lmao wtf
I am experiencing an intense sensation of fremdschämen
>That fricking voice actress
Yuck.
They also ruined Shadowheart with that bullshit.
>ending 2
so, can you still romance her afterwards?
Are there any mods yet that make her hot looking that doesn't entail giving her a horse penis, thanks in advance
Karl..*ACK*
Good, I'm glad I ended up taking responsibility for Shadowheart after making her devow Shar
Will felt like Karlach's intended pairing anyway
Is there anything in this game apart from sex and genitals? This is literally the only thing I see people talk about.
Ah no, they also talk about how not engaging the leveling is thanks to D&D rules.
How's the gameplay? Are the character compelling? Is it well optimized? Is it epic? How's the soundtrack?
Honestly there's a tad TOOOOOOO much sex jokes in this game
List 5.
what else will the medieval fantasy characters do? go to the theme park? catch a flick? play some video games? people fricked because there was nothing better to do
There's fricking and there's licking a goblin's foot, kobolds drawing porn or banging drow twins with your romanced companion. The game is disgusting.
>He didn't force the goblin to kiss his foot
Ngmi
>Drow twins with your romance
Tell me more, I missed this
There's a brothel in baldur's gate. It's a brother and a sister though, Larian can't help themselves they have to shove dicks everywhere.
The threesomes are always paid brothel experiences, WRPG devs refuse to let me play as a chad bard that can seduce people without paying them
lol
lmao
Also DAO where you can have a threesome with Leliana and Isabela
DAO had that and even outright beastiality. Crazy what BioWare was doing before they got taken off by Tumblr powerusers who play on story mode difficulty
>and even outright beastiality
Where?
Don't say Morrigan
One of the “surprise me” options in the brothel is sex with a nug (the pink underground creatures)
if dao came out now Ganker would be seething for weeks over that
Ganker seethed at the bear because it was gay sex, not because it was a bear
This, had Halsin been a woman people would have been calling it based and I would have been one of those people
He's transformed into an actual bear though, not anthro furbait
>pic
What the frick, I understand the beargays...
So can you frick the girls if you yourself play as a druid or did they chicken out and bestiality is only for gays?
They chickened out on anything that wasn't a gay fetish
Well shit it's true, I never took that option
Companions don't have any interactions besides sex, only one fleshed out with feelings of her own about things is shadowheart and Gale.
>How's the gameplay?
It's shit. There are 12 levels and you use same spells, same abilities, same weapons thorough level 3-12 so like 50-60 hours
>Are the character compelling?
Out of companions I can say that two are okay
>Is it well optimized?
Lol no
>Is it epic? How's the soundtrack?
It's shit, there are couple of good tracks but they repeat in every scene through the game
That's not super encouraging. Thanks for sharing thoughts
It's worth a pirate, just download the gog version and look at the digital signature to see if the game is tampere with. Whatever you do crank the difficulty up to max because otherwise the game is piss easy, I mean even at the hardest it kinda is but there's some challenge
>otherwise the game is piss easy
I got filtered by two undying skeletons
>piss easy,
wut? the game is hard on balanced for me
What the hell? You can just spam fear on the skeletons and take their weapons, just whittle them down to low HP and use your biggest baddest spell on them both.
Well, I was lvl 4, there are also ghouls, kinda bad place to fight, I lost Karlach, I really wanted to get to Absolute tower asap and I don't have experience with such fight system. Quen spam in witcher broke me.
You were just woefully underleveled anon, you gotta be 5 and have a bard + monk
I spent 20 hours in the first location, I just couldn't stay there any longer
how are you not level 5 then? did you do the phase spider and hag boss fights?
Yes, I almost reached level 5, maybe I needed to go through the Underdark a little. The fact that Karlach leaves after attacking the druids even after I found her a special ore and agreed on sex in the future spoiled my impression and I gave up
>just download the gog version and look at the digital signature to see if the game is tampere with
wdym
Sorry anon, you're too stupid to pirate
If you like RPGs is pretty good. Don't listen to that guy about using the same abilities, as you can respect anytime you want and change classes to experiment and make things fresh. They give you a lot to work with, but if you're a boring person with no brain cells or creativity it may become boring.
>There are 12 levels
What? I just checked and the max level is TWELVE?! Frick, I was hoping we'd finish the game being lvl 20 demigods.
I made my monk hoping he would be able to do pic rel. Or a fighter being a blender that does 8 attacks a turn.
What a let down having max level just when the classes start to be interesting.
They scaled down some abilities, anon. You can still do it.
Although 4 elements monk is way more fun.
Its not the same as potentially one shotting a giant on a lucky hit by slapping it's knee.
God, I had so much fun being a death touch monk when I was still playing.
>How's the gameplay?
Pretty fub
> Are the character compelling?
Some are
> Is it well optimized?
Latest patch tanked my fps
>Is it epic?
Sense of adventure is pretty epic yes
>How's the soundtrack?
meh
>Some are
Which ones man because they're all unlikable c**ts, same as OS 2.
gameplay good but not as complex as I'd like very good quest and level design though. Overall good story imo. Meh companions(there's enough I like and I can just shelve the ones I dislike). The music ranges from good to great in any given moment.
The sex shit is genuinely cringeworthy and feels forced down your throat, these "people" are on a fricking hairtrigger to confess their homolust for you if you so much as glance their way.
8/10, a gem for fans of crpgs and probably any rpg fan, slightly worse and very similiar to dos2 though, which I felt was overall superiour (9/10).
>slightly worse and very similiar to dos2 though, which I felt was overall superiour (9/10).
I guess I'll skip it if I didn't like divos2. Last crpg I really enjoyed was divos1, not even a fan of the pathfinder games.
Look mom I posted by copy paste again! No matter how much you try the game is already massive success, cope and kneel schazamtroony.
It's telling how much marketing shills jump on any perceived criticism of their precious game even when it wasn't criticism but a genuine question. What's the matter troony, your game not doing so well behind the scenes?
Oh please, you post this in every thread, get answers and then post it again anyway.
Nope
Hilarious how much Ganker is shilling this shit story game while constantly shitting on every other one because “muh dnd”
It's the western Persona 3.
Sex and genitals is less than 1% of what o
you'll spend you time doing on the game. They are also completely optional and canbe disabled on the options menu.
It's shocking that a game that was in early access so long is missing a ton of QOL features.
They managed to make the UI even worse than the EA's. Might be the shittiest inventory system I've ever used in a video game.
It's DnD shit.
Your experience completely relies on the utterly random chance to do between 100% to 1000% damage or miss completely at any given time.
It's a terrible game system that should have never existed outside freaks rolling dice in their parents basement
It's a shit system for a CRPG because it heavily relies on DM mercy IRL. I've purposely reduced HP on some mobs before during combat when I realized the players were having shitty luck.
but can you take Will's succubus away from him
Yes. You can also frick her.
then i don't see the problem here.
Dodged a bullet then, but what about Minthara? Will she also cuck me? GAYle already told how he will speak to her and she will open up to him
>Either she dies, becomes a mindflayer, or you get cucked and she gets BLACKED
Holy frick, that's hilarious.
>a literal devil's scrotum tickler has no happy ending
Oh no. Anyways.
>romance Karlach
>get bad ending
>romance Shart
>normalgay choice
>romance Minthara
>requires you to be moronic evil to even get that option
The only decent choice is the fricking frog
Not gonna lie, I'm starting to like her
>no good ending
First time?
The nuDevs for the Enhanced Edition adding in new romance options that span both games, but giving them all even worse epilogues than Viconia is the one good thing they did with those “remasters”
You get to kill her in 3
She's Shadowfeet's Matron
Tell me you're frickin joking here
Nope
Ok, I won't get this shit game ever. Not even bother pirating it
It's part of Shadowfeet final quest regardless if you redeem her and turn her back into a Selunite or go on with the Dark Justicar ritual. If she's with Selune you kill her to save her parents and if she's a Dark Justicar Shar wishes her to clean the Baldur's Gate Covent and take her place.
This genuinely makes my blood boil. This is so frickin lame
agreed. there's no reason for Victonia, Misc, Sarevok, or Jaheria to be in this game struggling with low to mid tier dnd characters, when they should all canonically be level of 20+ going by BG2 and throne of bhaal
WHAT?!
You know what, frick this shit. So far I found the memes and shitposting funny and entertaining. This stuff is just lame
Frick I need his armor.
You can only get his helmet and the Sword of Chaos
Viconiacuckolds on suicide watch. You love to see it.
Is it optional? I like Viconia and my Charname romanced her, so I don't wanna kill her
probably I haven't gone through all the permutations yet I'm only on my second playthrought this time as Durge (first time as Tav) and I haven't gone to the coven yet
I’m still pissed that all of 5th edition and BG-related lore now is built on Charname dying off-screen
5e in general has been a crime against gaming in general (balance bad, lack of content good). That it has also been a crime against D&D lore and even Baldur's Gate lore in particular is just the cherry on top.
Frankly, I'm impressed with how much Larian have done with the little wriggle room they were given. They almost make 5e bearable.
They even fricked with Salvator forcing him to do a timeskip so his books take place during the 5e Metaplot (killing some of his non elven characters). He says he was basically told "we can do this with or without you". Regardless of your opinion on Drizzt that's a pretty shitty to thing pull on one of your golden gooses.
For the best. His books have been too stale and samey for the last 10 years.
You can spare her once she's beaten
What the frick. How did Viconia become Super High Priestess, didn't she try in the second game to buy a farm and just do her shenanigans in peace without drawing to much attention ?
Most supplemental material post BG2 have given characters shitty conclusions go their arcs, CHARNAME is murdered by Bhaalspawn offscreen, Imoen leaves Faerun behind and isn’t heard from again, Saarevok becomes a drug addict
What the frick man.
She looks like an old Julia Voth now
My first videogame love...What did they do to you? Did they push the blatant fanservice by bringing back Grey DeLisle to voice her ?
>Did they push the blatant fanservice by bringing back Grey DeLisle to voice her ?
no, because they didn't even get jim cummings to play minsc. it's fricking shitty matt mercer.
>people loved this
???
A Shar storyline where Viconia realistically would be very much alive is better than the BG2 romance end where she just fricking dies.
Talk about hitting the wall
Welp, I did hope you're just trolling.
You can spare her in Shar Shadowhearts route
Bg2 isn't canon
Her getting poisoned by some rando in the epilogue fits her character
>Shadowheart’s romance dialogue is non existent in act 2, only one scene in act 3
>Karlach dies, transforms, or is paired up with Wyll
>Laezel gets a marriage scene and multiple romance dialogues in acts 2 + 3
Straight romance bros… Frogfrickers won
Two times now in the past year or so has the best romance in a 100+ hour CRPG has been a sociopathic monster girl who changes alignment for your love
>who changes alignment for your love
Who's the second one besides spider MCsmokerbitch
Minthara of course.
>cannibal
It's disintegration time.
Who is that?
Wenduag from Pathfinder WOTR
ugly b***h from pathfinder. worst personality in the game and thats saying a lot
Best girl from Pathfinder WOTR
That's not Nenio.
Nenio is a microcosm of everything wrong with the game's writing, you are insane
Can I get a no-spoiler telling on the safe romances?
>safe romances
What does that mean?
Ones that don't leave me cucked in the end
THOSE ARE ALL MEN I WANT POON
Shadowheart’s is half baked but she has a definitive non shitty ending, Laezel of all people gets the best romance ending
Holy shit, Lae'zel haters BTFO
I knew I was right when I first fell in love with this green viking goddess in EA
>first girl
>shown in the very first cutscene
>proper arc and development
Lae'zel is easily the biggest surprise in the party for me. I knew they are going for vanillagays with Shadowheart but i didn't expect Lae'zel to be Wenduag 2.0.
>but i didn't expect Lae'zel to be Wenduag 2.0
So she's a terribly written "I can fix her" romance but waifugays try to pretend she's good because she makes their dick hard?
That's not a good thing
People will put up with a lot of bullshit for women that make their dick hard. This is basic human biology, anon.
No, Laezel has a character arc where she doesn't violently murder people then go uwuuu in the last stretches of the game.
While I don't fancy her, she has been growing on me, and it absolutely helps that I'm playing sorc and starting at 5th level she just rips apart everything when Hasted and doles out fear and prone left, right and center.
>but i didn't expect Lae'zel to be Wenduag 2.0.
So she is a shit companion and a romance? nice to know
I’m guessing they mean which ones don’t have a shitty ending or no ending at all
>tfw I got cucked out of Shadowheart's scene and somehow got the after party scene twice
Gale, Astarion, Wyll, Halsin
>Ending 2: She becomes a mindflayer
How is that a bad ending?
>WRPGs
>Good endings for characters
We don't do that anymore since GoT and Witcher got popular, now it's all about being as cynical and jaded as possible because everything is morally gray.
God I miss being a child
What? Most of them now end with pretty satisfying wrap-ups for characters as long as you do their companion quests.
Hell, half of BG2’s character epilogue slides end with them feeling unsatisfied in life or being murdered
>Witcher
Except Witcher 3 has a very standard happy ending
He might mean the standard Witcher, which famously just shits on its protags every chance it gets and ends with everyone but Ciri (and a handful side characters) dying.
Yeah but the books are not popular at all, people think of witcher they think of Witcher 3
>people think of witcher they think of Witcher 3
Not anymore
Its still the game, Netflix shat the bed so much the series is not gonna survive without Calvill
I mean you do know the show happened and was rather popular and brought further attention to the books.
And they wont care because the books are mediocre, and will stick to the actual already constructed image of the IP
Isn't the Triss romance straight up dumping on Yen when you are on the boat ontop of Skellige? Really sad moment. Also Regis gets fricked in the "good" enough of B&W to be hunted by his kin forever
Thats not a sad moment if you dont like Yen, its a pretty funny one actually
And yeah its probably the worst outcome for Regis, but one he takes with stride nonetheless
You can never romance one without upsetting the other so that was a given. If you like Yen then the game already pushes her and Triss has resigned herself to not winning by the time you meet her. If you like Triss then you get to see Yen absolutely destroyed when she doesn't get her way for once.
Don't care didn't read, still romancing every girl in the game
>Get a huge warning about quests vanishing when donig Shadowheart's story in Act 2
>Get absolutely no warning that Act 1 gets locked off after beating the main Act 2 boss
FUUUUUUUUUUUCK
dont care still romancing best girl
I shouldn't have opened spoilers here.
LarianBlack folk - may fate of your squirrels befall you
In my opinion, players can have the best ending they want if they can roll dice good enough and games should be design ed around that principle.
>I shouldn't have opened spoilers here.
skill issue
no pump&dump? MODDERS!
Minthara and Lae'zel
why would I not romance her just because it's fated to end tragically?
Because it's like that viconia ending in bg2 where everything is nice and then in the ending she gets stabbed with some super mega uber duper lolthsth poison and charname does frick all about it
ok and?
>tomboy
>genki
>cyborg
>has the most tragic death in the game
we were so close...
ah yes, bring back characters from 20 years ago just to shit all over them, how nice
the movie industry was doing it for a while now, I guess it's videogames turn
What's the problem with becoming a mind flayer?
Sounds good to me.
Mind Flayers live shorter than humans lol.
The dream visitor/guardian is one and he used to be Balduran so he lived a long life as a Squid and he even got himself liberated from the hivemind
>She
Already got me there chief.
>Ganker cries endlessly about how tomboys don't exist anymore
>Get butthurt when an actual tomboy is in a game
>actual tomboy
lol she acts like a tumblr hambeast
In what way?
in the way she speaks and carries herself
she's fricking obnoxious and deserves to die for it
>in the way she speaks and carries herself
So you don't actually know what a tomboy is
it's not karlach, that's for sure
Sure bud, pretty sure you haven't even played the game
she's not a tomboy you fricking homosexual she acts like a twitter troony
no worries im not a race traitor
>itt: vicoBlack folk getting their just desserts and seething hard

>characters suffering shitty pasts/situations heal eacother, fall in love and get married
>wrpgcucks get MUH SEX in place of a relationship and death endings
lol you deserve it
Can you play story mode as a goody two shoes character in an all butthole/evil party?
yes.
how many pieces of infernal iron do you need to fix her? I got one piece installed already and 2 in my inventory. I know there's another you can get from the duegar merchant in grimforge, but I killed neth and all the duegar are gone unless I reload a save from hours ago.
You can't fix her
yeah but how many do you need to finish her quest?
2
sick
Is this a good game to watch a let's play of?
If you find a based stream (hetero man, renegade Sith tier behaviour that romances the red girl)?
How can we plebs get into it? The team management sounds like a mega chore.
>Is this a good game to watch a let's play of?
Games are not movies, just fricking play them yourself you parasocial zoomer.
How does she get saved, if you play as her?
How could I romance a character which leaves immediately in act 1?
You did slaughter the druids and rapefugees, right?
It's cool tieflings are 100% cringe anyways
>Ending 3: She goes to hell and becomes the Devil's slave / b***h again
INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE
lel, cucked by a BBC
>Wyll
>Black
What the frick is he if not a Black person?
He becomes a demon like 10 minutes into his story, moron
so not only a Black person but a demon Black person
the horror
>Outing yourself as not even playing the game
Tiresome
How lften do you long rest? I just saved the grove and am getting ready to move to the under dark and I've only long rested twice. Tactician difficulty.
I used Shadowcute, Cutelach and le frog an Wyll is still nigging around camp.
19 hours in and still no Demonig? Should I be long resting more?
american
where do you get this outfit as a player? even the druid starting torso is not the same, it doesn't have the hood that the druids have.
Bad guy route?
Recruit Halsin in Act 2 then take his clothes?
im gonna probably play this game for 500hours and i can guarantee that i will cut this b***h's head every fricking playthrough
within 2 lines of her dialog it becomes apparent that shes some dumb prostitute's fantasy about herself
>Is it well optimized?
i'm playing on a 3060 ti at 100 fps on ultra... until i'm not, because i turned the camera towards a tree and got dunked to 40 fps. oh, now it's 120 because i didn't move the camera. oops it's 50 now, because i jumped over a bridge. back to 100 in my inventory. hey look, 30 fps when the door opened. it's wild how fricked it is, honestly. sometimes the most intensive shit is a slideshow, or it's solid 100 fps. this is at some dumbass 1620p i'm downscaling from btw, dlss off.
That's a processor issue not a graphics issue. I'm using a 4070 which is similar in specs but using a 7800X3D and I'm not getting any slowdown.
>no good ending
>Ending 2: She becomes a mindflayer
?????
She sold her soul to a devil and has to serve eternally in the Blood War. We had an entire game about how running from that can frick up the entire multiverse
I am surprised siding with Raphael and making him the ruler of the hells doesn't have implications of lifting Karlach's service.
Even then he can't just rewrite contracts. It would go against his entire metaphysical nature as a devil
Pact Primeaval contracts in the D&D world are very serious matters that can' be fricked with and they have very serious hard rules to what can and can't be allowed. In fact it's why Raphael won't take your tadpole on the first encounter even if you ask him too because of a section in the Pact is that the contracts cannot be influenced by magic or threat of any kind. Any deal the Cambion makes while the signer is under charm, threat, or force is null and void, so you want to make sure of the signing that their is no wiggle room for escape. I'm guess it's on of the reasons they rewrote Wyll so much was because he made his deal in EA under extreme duress making the signing questionable, where as in full release it's not nearly as dubious and it's just Wyll wanted to be a hero.
>She sold her soul to a devil
No she didn't, someone else sold her soul. Wyll is the one that sold his soul to a devil, albeit because he thought if he didn't then Tiamat herself would be summoned into the Material plane and kill everyone.
>Minthara gets less evil after recruiting her
>if you are the dark urge she reads your mind and sees what kind of absolute fricking monster you really are
>instead of being horrified she gets super horny and is really excited to help you become evil God king
>Jaheira's son is an effeminate, homosexual half-orc
LMAO! LMFAO!
Khalid-bros, it didn't have to end up this way..
>khalid got post mortem cucked by BOC
it's not fricking fair
>Viconia becomes a cult leader
>Jaheira as expected becomes a Karen that feminizes her halforc son
AERIEBROS I KNEEL!
Im almost glad that Aerie doesnt show up to get ruined by modern devs
PEOPLE STOP ASKING FOR NEWW SEQUELS TO YOUR OLD GAMES ALREADY, ESPECIALLY WESTERN FREAKS RUNING EVERYTHING
>Two decades later
>They STILL keep shilling Aerie after Viconia fricking died in the original and you and Jaheira spent years apart
AERIE SUPERIORITY
>Jaheirakeks getting cucked by an orc
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
bro, why the frick is his hair PINK?????
>best girl has the worst ending
tale old as time
I wont romance her because she doesn't have good chemistry with my wife
How is returning to hell with Wyll the good end versus dying? She says early on that she'd be happier dead than going back. And besides it's very bittersweet and not a (stylistically speaking) bad end considering her story. They should however given you an option to have a nice day too, out of grief, for the complete "Romeo & Juliet" experience, but Larian writers could never be that based.
It'd "romanticize self harm" or some other gay shit
Nevertheless, I think it's a good ending even as is. One partner seeing the other through to the end is the natural endpoint for every (literally) lifelong romance, it doesn't have to be bad unless the writing makes it so, e.g. if Karlach dies regretful and disappointed with her lot, rather than happy she got to experience love, no matter how briefly.
>cope
meanwhile froganons are winning hard
who even cares about death in this setting, you just go to the afterlife
You can actually go with her into hell if you waifu her. You just have to avoid the Wyll bullshit, because it takes priority over the romance option for some reason.
What the frick, is that a bug? Is this like Valerie and the dumb farmer shit again?
I assume it's an oversight, but I'm not sure. If it's intentional, then I assume the reasoning is "since Wyll already helps her, why would you also go with her into literal hell?" which is of course pretty fricking stupid because why not let people choose?
Either way I doubt they'll fix it, maybe in a definitive edition.
When you say avoid wyll bullshit, do you mean 'don't do his quest' or what? Pls brother
Yeah, that's the easiest option. I think it suffices to not get his ending where he breaks the contract with Mizora, save his father and becomes a slayer of evil which is a shame because it's actually pretty cool.
If you're still at the pod killing her sends him to hell. Otherwise I'm not sure beyond just not recruiting him, sorry.
Do you have to convince her against her will or does she just have no preference?
How do i get rid of Wyll? Does the Mizora being trapped in a pod happen before that? I havent gone beyond act 1 yet
they just had to go and ruin the fun for everyone didn't they
Halsin is at my camp but I dont have any option to add him to my group, did I fricked up something or is it a bug?
Are you in Act 2?
Not yet
Well there you go, he only joins in Act 2
>cucks you with the Black person
BRAVO LARIAN
Anything about Minthara? Can we get a proper evil romance with satisfying ending for her or do you get cucked out of that, too?
I only know of one
in my game I mind broke her, erasing her identity and she is basically a puppet slave to me at the end
wtf i am now diamonds?
>WHAAA we want our games to have many possible ending
>n-not THOSE ending
Stop being a little b***h. Also those are not all the endings. There are more but you need specific combinations to ge tthem.
>lying on the internet
>he doesn't know
If your next reply to this post isn't the other supposed endings and proof that they exist it will be taken as concession and this discussion will be considered over.
I know you are a homosexual
>THERE ARE OTHER ENDINGS STOP CRYING
>but I will not say which they are har har har
have a nice day
Pretty sure only the evil followers have a chance at good endings and the more moral neutral like Shadowheart and Wyll have a "good" ending as well. Gale's is up to interpretation but imo he got fricked the hardestliterally
>Gale gets fricked the hardest
i paid 3 soul coins for this!
Wahuh? What happens to him?
For me we just parted ways as he went on to build the crown and become a god
I don't romance anyone anyway.
Romance in games is always fricking garbage unless it's deliberately scripted, but that doesn't come from a game like this.
>zombie at the camp whines at you for not doing any romances
Is he trying to watch me have sex or something?
wait what
I made a deal with Raphael and had that Plane Breaker Djinn transport Karlach and my ending had her adventuring. Wyl got SLAVED again though.
>deal with Raphael
>Plane Breaker Djinn
At what cost?
I don't know. All I did was constantly refuse Raphael, kill his enemy when looking for Nightsong, and when you meet him again Sharess, he'll offer a way again. I then refused. Played with the Djinn. After that you find Dammon to mend the Engine. After you mend the engine, then when it burns up again, Raphael will offer you the choice again. But if you didn't kill his enemy in the Gauntlet, then he won't offer you to be his slayer. It's basically like Wyl's contact, but instead you work for Raphael instead of Mizora.
So, to reiterate: No good endings.
I mean yeah, but Raphael's pretty chill.
free harem of drow prostitutes too. i call that a good ending
Is he offering to fix her heart as well or just the tadpole? Are you playing as Karlach or as a custom charname? Can the custom charname sell their soul to fix her is the question.
>Is he offering to fix her heart as well or just the tadpole?
Hence the Plain Breaker Deal. The tadpole is weird one since Raphael basically isolates the Emperor's thoughts and prevents him from giving the tadpole control. Basically making the tadphole just a tool that gives you illithid powers. Raphael's endgame is basically to give a middle finger to the gods and the absolutes.
How do you make the deal with the djinn?
Best ending right there. Bonus points if you're into mind control
>give in to the urge all the way
>Kill everyone exept for Minthara,Lae'zel and Shadowheart
>rewarded with Power Word Kill after killing your sister; Orin
>restore your pact with Gortash and uphold it
>Gortash get his mind blown by the Netherbrain so no need to bretay him
>Betray Balduran aka the Dream visitor
>Control the Netherbain
>Mind control the three bawds and the army of mindflayers
>fin
you're still Bhaal's b***h in the end tho
You aren't supposed to point that out
Pacifist Dark Urge refusing to give in to the Urge and then being revived by Withers is KINO. Bonus points if you are a paladin of selune
So is Dark Urge unironically the most canon ending and playthrough?
Should you give in/use mind flayer shit for this ending, or ignore brains
I wanna play Baldur's Gate 3 right now cause I loved playing Divinity OS 2, but I also wanna kinda wanna play the originals first cause I've heard they've got an excellent story, but playing through both and their DLC will take quite some time and it'll mean I won't be able to play BG3 right now, how important are the connections between the games? I've heard they are connected but only with minor things, but when people start talking about companions and reoccurring NPCs I start feeling like I've missed out if I start with 3 (Even though it was made by a completely different studio)
You'll just miss on references and fan service but nothing that requires you to play the OG games same goes for the prequel D&D campaign Descent into Avernus
Apologize
Meeting this literal Reddit demon finally pushed me over the edge of going completely genocidal butthole. What the frick were they thinking when writing this zoomer ironic barbarian slop?
I'll fix her.
Never forget the 7 man cuck squad
'fiddlecub' sounds like a pedo furry thing, or maybe just a diaper lover
>fiddlecub
Is the guy a furry?
Act 3 felt pretty rushed towards the end. Especially the companion quests.
Felt fine IMO. Act 3 is about as act 1. I already felt companions started really quick, you go through companion scenes pretty quick in the first like 10 hours.
connection error test
Yeah, I think owlcat won
THICK TAILS
>fights in a demon war for 10 years and escapes out of literal hell, she is a maniac killer
cool
>mfw she starts speaking
Youd think the hair would tell you all you need to know
the frog b***h and drow prostitute unironically act more like i would've expected this so called demon slave warrior to act.
how the frick do you kill and maim others in a war for 10 years straight yet still carry yourself as someone who has never seen the horrors of war is beyond me. this shit changes people yet she just talks like a butch lesbian who wants to hug stuffed animals.
>applying real life morals to a fantasy setting
Odd choice
>t. "not interested in discussing how realistic things are in an alternate universe post-apoc game w/ talking mutants and ghouls"
looks like i triggered the trannies
That makes no sense trannies love her.
I think it’s just the new word to use when you have run out of argument in hopes (You)s still happen.
you triggered yourself into impotent moronation
>IT'S FANTASY BRO
>THAT MEANS YOU CAN JUST WHATEVER THE FRICK YOU WANT WITH IT BRO
>NO RULES ARE REQUIRED WHATSOEVER BRO, JUST DO WHATEVER HAHA
Yeah.
it’s literally just bad writing in this case. you can have fantastical metaphysics or whatever, but compelling characters behave like people. if they don’t behave in a coherent way we don’t emotionally connect with them and you’ve failed to write something compelling to your audience
she is a barb so shes supposed to be more "wild" but just going "frick yeah dude" in dialogue is lame and cringey
Yeah they should just have them talk in zoomer lingo and break the 4th wall all the time like Deadpool shit.
But they can't be pretty because muh realism, right?
I will always find it hilarious that people are trying to convince other people on this board that characters like Shadowheart are not at the very least an 8/10. With all the shit we normally get from western games, it completely baffles me that people are trying to pass this narrative off that characters in BG3 are unattractive.
They are anon
Your standards just have been successfully lowered by western media
When shart gets her hair and dye job done she goes from an autistic moron to a stacy. Wish I could fricking comment on it though it was pretty surprising to see her just change so suddenly.
You can comment on it though:
Falseflagging, because anons on this board are desperate for attention
>how DARE you not have developed stockholm syndrome
My issue is her manner of speaking, 'frick' does not feel right in a D&D setting, does any other character even say it? It's like she was pulled from modern day and hasn't adapted her speech pattern yet.
What are good lv4 spells for my Wiz? Only thing I see that I really want is Haste and that's lv3
Just learn all of them from scrolls. Otherwise, just get one disable for each save.
Cloud of daggers procs twice, it's a must cast until you get fireball at LVL 5
I mean level four spells, not for a level 4 wizard
Greater Invis on a martial is VERY good. They pop a pot of speed and go hard. Wall of Fire is very good, Dimension door is very good.
I understand concentration's need but man you really suffer from having so many good spells but one slot to concentrate.
>Greater Invis on a martial is VERY good.
From what I saw in-game I gotta do stealth checks every time I attack, isn't this bad on my martials? Both have stealth disadvantage
There are gear that can circumvent that or if you kept Shadowheart as Trickster she has that Trickery skill to give +10 to stealth checks
so how do you remove the tadpole?
No more happy endings with virgin waifus bearing your children for you white man.
>aerie
>virgin
anon they ran trains on her while she was a slave
damn for real?
can you show me the dialog?
They can't because Aerie makes it pretty obvious she's a virgin when she offers to have sex with you
I know.
Its not like other cuck games.
She flat out confirms she's a virgin during the romance. I know it's strange to hear this, that a dev went out of their way to confirm a romance interest was a virgin, since modern day devs go out of their way to confirm a girl is NOT a virgin, but it is the truth. The first and only man Aerie is with is CHARNAME. She really is a classic romance, young, virginal, marries you and bears your children. Nothing else since has come close, except MAYBE Tali.
>slave
>elf slave
>trauma
>virgin
>He posts this in the same game wheree Viconia gets killed by bullshit poison no matter what
Maybe this has nothing to do with an agenda and developers just feel like adding le bittersweet ending
There is literally nothing sweet to Viconia getting lmao murdered or any of Karlachs endings. They're just straight up downers. I get the feeling a lot of modern writers don't know what bittersweet even means anymore.
It's the
>lol their lives were shit but at least you helped them find love before they died 🙂
Which doesn't really apply to Viconia because she survives in her regular ending and it's implied she softens up anyway, but still
>>lol their lives were shit but at least you helped them find love before they died 🙂
Yeah, and that is by definition not sweet but a complete fricking downer and makes it worse. The sweet is meant to LESSEN the effects of the bad stuff, but here they just exist to amplify how fricked everything is.
There's no bittersweet intent.
The developers are just saying "frick you" for going with Viconia instead of Aerie. For going with Karlach instead of Lae'zel. It's entirely spite.
I thought Shadowheart was the shilled girl?
>Shadowheart is the shilled girl
>when you have writers with Lae'zel as their twitter profile pic, and the game starts with Lae'zel
>The developers are just saying "frick you" for going with Viconia instead of Aerie. For going with Karlach instead of Lae'zel. It's entirely spite.
is that why Cam ending is shit in Wotr? based
>both Shadowheart and Lae'zel get positive resolutions and good endings with (you)
>Shadowheart chooses (you) over Shar EVEN ON EVIL PATH
>Karlach just wants normal life
>gets fricked up for it
>rpg without no choices
good thing i didn't buy this shit
>double negative
So you're praising the game for having choices, ESL-kun?
Starting to see why the game was only meant to go to 10 at first (12 now), cause that is about the cutoff point where shit like this would fly at all and the characters couldn't just fix problems with literal reality bending powers.
>Simulacrum
>Simulacrum Wishes that Karlach is restored to a normal Tiefling body without Infernal Engine
>never have to think about Hell ever again
Though thinking about it, in the published Adventure a level 12 to 13 party has a realistic shot at taking out Zariel already anyway, so at higher levels you might as well just fricking bully her into submission and force her to fix Karlach, too. It's all so fricking stupid, honestly.
It's unfortunate too. I really like the concept of a game allowing you to become a literal god but none are able to do it well simply because it doesn't translate well into gameplay purposes.
Why can't you ask Elminster to do that?
He probably wouldn't mind, if you throw him a cheese wheel for it.
Look at that monster. Who'd romance that freak? The devs lol at you for even considering it
Anon romance is just to unlock a sex scene, it don't mean shit.
i killed her the moment i saw her.
ITT: Shadowheart propaganda, written by a (smelly) femcel.
That haircut does wonders to her
It's fricking hilarious how much she reminds me about Asa. Shitty childhood traumas causing her to snap into literal panic attacks, 8CHA personality despite good looks, messed up in a really dangerous shit that can either corrupt or kill her.
...Oath of Devotion Paladin?
The best fit for her is a moronic but ultimately kind barbarian berserker who will mating press her issues out of her.
>do NOT romance
Do you even have a choice on the matter?
fake and gae.
Repulsive character design.
I'm Squidmaxxing
>people simping over this ugly b***h
Why? Is it because she's a Tiefling and they can't imagine a Tiefling being any better looking than this?
>Her romance has no good outcome
SSSSSSSSWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
If I were Swen I'd sell that shit as DLC.
>not dicking Shadowheart back to Selune
She's peak Stacy and my white male Paladin loves it.
Shadowchads can't stop winning
>She has to remember all the horrible shit she did
I feel like losing her memories is leaving her better off, she can even tell Shar to frick off for Main Character wiener
>Viconia dies in BG2 romance
>is atleast alive in this one with the option to not kill her
>Jaheira is fine
>Minsc is ??? cause I didn't use him
>Sarevok is based
Who gets really shafted?
Wait, Viconia appears in this game?
b***h homie, SAREVOK appears in the game. Bhaal appears in the game. Jorgal appears in the game. It's as much of BG3 as humanly possible.
Larian hates the original baldur‘s gate games right?
It is so weird how any and all returning characters get fricked over so hard in 3
It's stupid, I hate it so much
>kill karlach
>mizora turns wyll into a demon anyway, saying karlach is still breathing
????
It's that, goty tier bg3 malarian writing kicking in. Don't worry some influencer said it's the best game ever, despite not playing it.
The inevitable addon will fix it.
I don't want to read through the thread for far off spoiling myself. That said, is Karlach fricked in my game because the infernal blacksmith tiefling already packed up and left before I got her? I figure I need to fix her engine, but I don't know who to go to unless I meet that guy again in a later act. Her dialogue hasn't progressed at all and I fear her blowing up if I don't get her engine brought in for maintenance.
You can meet the guy in the following act.
>make the best girl
>give her the worst endings
FRICKING SWEN DUDE shes so homely and nice but of course you give her but not shadowb***h and the frog a bad ending shes literally excited just to see water running down the stream but no gotta die horribly
I like Karlach but ultimately nothing competes with Shadowheart. EVEN on evil path the chooses you over Shar ultimately. Even when she's 100% fanatic she still wants you forever.
>t. incel
Shadowfart is ridiculous in her player pandering, absolutely immersion breaking. This is not how a neutral evil priestess of Shar would act, Shar would unironically strip her of her powers or curse her for being such a disgusting simp.
Shadowheart is a brainwashed child soldier groomed by a suicidal cult. The entire point of her character is that the light inside is not extinguished and you can tear her away from bad company.
Karlach is best girl personality wise she despite being a devil is the kindest also Shadowheart is full pandering mode that it actually turned me off
>despite being a devil
Tiefling, not a devil. She has devil blood in her but that doesn't make her a devil.
Uh oh, toastie roasties!
Feels good being a frogchad. My hot githyanki girlfriend gets the good end.
AY MAN WHAT THE FRICK AM I DOING GRINDING MY ASS TRYING TO ROUTE HER ASS IF SHE'S GOING BACK TO HELL?
is the 'evil' path in this game just mustache twirling murder villain for the sake of it, or is there some sort of agenda that you can agree with and use as justification when making decisions?
So... how are the romantic ends for the guys?
Only one I've seen is Astarion's evil end where he's basically a power hungry borderline yandere.
How the frick do you play proper support bard?
I feel like my abilities are all over the place.
Any way to make that psychic attack stronger?
1-4d feels like absolute dogshit, even with the debuff.
>finally a game with big amazon tomboy gf
>she can't be saved

>get close to amongus flowers as female sorcerer
>Karlach asks what's wrong

Frick you Larian
It's always been canon anon, sorry
Wait til you see Viconia
W-What did they do to her?
The wall... the wall isn't kind.
I assume she's still evil, do we have to kill her?
You help shadowheart get rid of her, either death or fricking off forever.
Well that's something at least, because I refuse to kill my wife no matter how much I have to metagame for it
>looks nothing like her
>sounds nothing like her
>faked her death mentioned in the BG2 ending
>killable
They really wanted you to choose Aerie, anon.
her death mentioned in the BG2 ending
She only dies if you romance her though
Yeah and these kind of choices are supposed to be left open handed.
They are, but they didn't, didn't charname fight that teleporting moron, one of them died, and the other went crazy as a slayer and then needed to be put down?
>open handed
I think you took that phrase for granite, anon. I don't judge you, it's a doggy dog world
I'm moronic, you'll get used to it.
This game really, REALLY hates Rogues. Especially non Thief Rogues.
>Oh, you were expecting some loot for your sneaky sneaker? For your looty mcshadow stabber? Guess again, it's some more heavy armor, b***h. Oh, and here's another scimitar and shield you worthless waste of space!
Anon missed this knife and it shows
>dagger
Aren't those inferior to shortswords/rapiers? or am I still relying on the EA meta?
It's name is "dagger" but technically it's categorized as a shortsword at the bottom. Running this on my shadow monk / assassin and it's making everything on tactician difficulty a breeze
There are bracers that grant +2 ac when you're not wearing armor or shield. Those bracers go amazingly well on an arcane trickster rogue since he can cast mage armor. With the bracers, mage armor, dual wield ac bonus and max dex as well as shield spell on reaction against real nasty hits, arcane trickster rogues are great frontliners and deal good damage when sneak attacking in melee.
Don't care. I'll still romance her.
You can go to hell with her, if you kill Wyll or he become Duke or whoever, But yeah, all her endings are shit.
what are the odds they'll change her ending?
None.
then i'm refunding this.
it's arueshalae all over again
Can't she be saved if you play as her as an origin? I'm sure someone will mod that ending for her as a companion eventually
but i don't want to play as her origin, i want to romance her. i want to save her.
That's why I said someone will probably mod that origin only ending to be available for her as a companion, reading comprehension moron
i don't want a mod. i want it to be official.
frick I guess I'll romance Shadowheart instead then
>She dies
That's a good ending. Tragedy isn't an automatic Bad thing, but all the Disney-addled brains sure think so.
>Tragedy isn't an automatic Bad thing
Yes it is and anyone who disagrees is an edgy child or a pretentious art snob (read: grown up edgy child).
Feels good being an Aeriechad
>If we give up Karlach will you spare Wyll?
>*Everyone disliked that*
Oh so I'm the bad guy?
No one gives a frick about Wyll.
I'm just asking questions here.
>Sacrificing a top tier waifu for a Black
Yes you are the bad guy
how do i romance shadowheart
Without spoiling, is Milfthara safe to pursue?
No, but not for the reasons you think.
Spoil me.
keep that shit black bar'd please
Potential player inflicted mind-break, and not the sexy kind. Only a possibility though, not a certainty.
>Potential player inflicted mind-break, and not the sexy kind
Bueno.
It's always the sexy kind anon. If you disagree you aren't a pic related.
how evil are you?
Neutral Evil
Yeah, you can recruit her in your team permanently in ACT 2. However, to do so, you'll have to go along with her plans in ACT 1 and by doing so you'll anger like two party members to the point they'll try to kill you or just straight up forever leave... plus some other things. You gotta burn a shit ton of bridges to keep her on with you.
>Wanted to romance Selune Shadowheart
>But if you do that apparently Viconia has to die
FRICK YOU LARIAN
The real Viconia died a century ago anyway.
>Best girl
>Has the worst endings
That's not Lae'zel
So Shadowheart is the vanilla romance, Lae'zel is the I can fix her romance, what does Karlach have?
The tomboy romance that'll leave you seething at the end?
bittersweet
Ashes.
heh
the "sorry we ran outta time" romance
>captcha: jyGAYv
3 years in early access, and the last 2 romances they add are both glitched and have no good endings
BRAVO LARIAN
Who's the other romance with no good ending?
Minthara is glitched and doesn’t have any dialogue once you recruit her, and I haven’t gotten that far but apparently she doesn’t have even an ending dialogue or it’s also broken like the rest of her’s atm
Please wait for definite edition where we may or may not fix this
t. Swen
You getting cucked as all of her endings are unhappy
Shadowheart is "i can fix this depressed goth girl who runs with wrong people"
Lae'zel is turning a wild dog into a loyal hount
Karlach is a genki tomboy GF who wants to frick your brains out and live a normal life but her shitty fate won't let her
Any mods yet that:
>Make females look attractive
>Removes all LGBT
They turned her into a hamster
>can't romance a withers puppet
what the frick
I really hope this is true because my friend is romancing her and anything but a happy ending pisses him off immensely so its gonna be funny to see him rage.
So Aerie won the Gorion's Wardbowl, huh
The one good canon decision Larian made
Is it true Jaheria has a half orc son?
Between this and Viconia I swear they did it on purpose to frick with the few people that played the originals
Yeah, she got ORCed.
Thank God I'm not a Jaheriagay, but what the frick were they thinking?
Half Orc son with pink hair and a stutter
Also:
>Imoen ran away with the lesbian vampire and hasn’t been heard from since
>Sarevok an addict in the slums
Why is everyone in Baldur's Gate a Black person? Literally every second person has a Black personperm.
Isn't there a mod to remedy this?
don't worry nobody wants to romance a butch dyke with cancer skin
I did until I saw the shitty endings
Is Urge more fun if you resist it or dive headfirst? I'm doing an Urge Paladin and trying to hold onto my Oath has been really fun.
Karlach exists to turn into a Mindflayer so the gith prince doesn't have to for the best ending.
Why are people genuinely believing this is a sec game with turn based combat on the side. Each character has like 2-3 scenes that last maybe 5-10 seconds total. People are acting like this shit is subverse with sucking and fricking every 5 minutes
Because 90% of advertising was romance and sex
