Nah, Tav is canonically a GAY human male fighter and he loves his husband The Emperor. Seethe. Although he cheats on the emperor with Halsin, Astairon, Gale, Wyll and The Dark urge. He's a bawd.
>gleefully brags about having kissed lots of men >brags about being able to untie knots with her tongue, implying sexual expertise. >brags about having used sex as a weapon, as part of her training
Yeah, she is peak born-again-virgin. She is in her 40s, so it's more topical than ever.
First Pathfinder and now BG3... why is Ganker so obsessed with cuckoldry?
Also she doesn't become a roastie unless you cuck her first, play the game homosexual.
>I am Nocturne. I think as her. I see her when I look in the mirror. I can't remember the last time someone called me by the wrong name-Shadowheart has been swift to gently correct slips of the tongue, and even switter in challenging those who'd use my dead name in malice. I'm lucky to have her as a friend
they aren't referring to a dead name because they are a troony, you braindead oaf. They're being literally brainwashed/mindwiped on a regular basis. if anything, this is anti-trans.
Dude. The voice actor is a """"famous"""" transsexual breadtuber. The journal is something he wrote. It's about dead naming and transsexual affirmations.
It’s the most vanilla protagonist that caters to the main consumer demographic and the archetype that dates back to stories such as Beowulf and Gilgamesh. Characters of different races and occupations such as wizard need more establishment in the story since they have information and backstory that relates to it that the viewer and consumer wouldn’t know and needs explained to. Hence stories about becoming a wizard as opposed to being a wizard
They find it easier to self-insert as some generic knight dude for whatever reason. Personally for me it's sorcerers/wizards. If I were Isekai'd I'd want to do magic.
The general extraverted feeling vibes that you get (Which is basically just having an opinion on something because everyone else is), is that spell casting is cringe for some reason. Likely as a response to the reputation that magic is "OP" in 3e or some shit.
That and a general valorization of manliness or what have you.
They find it easier to self-insert as some generic knight dude for whatever reason. Personally for me it's sorcerers/wizards. If I were Isekai'd I'd want to do magic.
I never got the obsession with the human male fighter meme. Shit gets upboated on reddit too.
It's not that deep. I just like martial styled heroes like King Arthur, Hercules, and Achilles, so naturally I drift towards fighters.
I don't really care for magic. It's not as cool to me as beating a supernatural being with nothing but your wits, physical strength, and speed.
At least the job is more effective than Rogue. You can call animals! You actually have an interesting ability! Rogues don't even get that much! We just have feats! Hell, we don't even get a cool weapon until we kill Gender swapped Sarevok in Act 3
You can't even make a blonde character anymore. The glorious blonde hair in EA is fricking gone. They either downgraded massively due to console parity or there is some serious wokeism going on.
is there a youtube vid of her romance scenes? i didnt long rest enough and im pretty sure im locked out of seeing her later ones. ive completed her questline in act 3 already.
Did you do the Gauntlet of Shar and the drink at night? But yeah, even doing everything there is to do, I'm pretty sure the most you can get with Shadowheart until Act 3 are kisses.
Didn't save it, but there was a screenshot of a dialogue log with her that is essentially >Yeah I fricked around as per Shar's guidance >But I assure you, you're the best 🙂

Okay Larian
A male paladin and 3 hoes it is then
Holy shit, this. What the frick was Larian thinking? Why can't I just bro it up with Gale/Astarion/Wyll? Can barely interact with them without feeling like a massive gay
It's a shitty side-effect of the fact that every romance option has to be player-sexual. It's like I don't recall ever seeing any gay shit with Alistar in Dragon Age because his romance flags were just for a female PC.
It's not just that, it's just Larian being moronic and not giving you the correct dialogue options
Ever heard of pic related? His romance starts without your input, the "yeah bro we're good friends" dialogue CONTINUES the romance, you specifically need to be an butthole to break off the romance THAT HE STARTS, it was so bad that Owlcat had to patch it out
And he's straight, only romanceable by women
They should have just a prompt at the beginning of the game what sex are you attracted to and set the flags accordingly.
That way normal people as well as gays would be satisfied.
The issue with that is they're going to scream at you that you're engaging in bi and gay erasure if you're allowed to censor character proclivities. Doesn't matter if you can imagine a system where the possibly gay characters still act gay with other gay characters. They will just scream at you.
Basically, yeah. Gale is actually very fun to have in your party, regardless of whom you are romancing. But the problem is that he treats you as the love of your life regardless of the way you approach him. >bro,I get it, you're a ticking time bomb, not get my hand off your chest already massive gaylord

He's beyond obnoxious and about 90% of the time his supposedly charming and witty one-liners fall flat on their face. What sorts of things trigger approval or disapproval with him also contributes to how awful he is, as well - the worst of which was him aggressively tipping his fedora at my Deep Gnome PC when I offered a prayer to some fallen Deep Gnomes at the forge. I fricking hate him.
Astarion is a surprisingly fun character but you don't want to be friends with him, you want to bully him.
Gale is clearly designed to be Alistair of the game with a magical flair to him. Which is why it's annoying he CAN'T be Alistair.
So far Gale is the only one I've had to be a complete dick to to decline the gay route. Had to insult his cat or something or risk an unwanted prostate exam.
I liked Wyll and had him in my party until he got transformed into a devil he looks stupid and I don't want him in my party., Just got Karlach specced into a warmaster instead. Just shows how op paladins are because she's weak as shit comparatively

Monk is very good in BG3 due to not only the great items, but also moving features down. Level 20 Monk in tabletop restores Ki, level like fricking 4 does in BG3 because they slapped it onto Wholeness of Body. Also Open Hand get a level 17? feature at level 9.
boy they must have nerfed the shit out of druids from tabletop. or given buffs to everyone else and no love to druid.
I think Spore is the strongest of the 3, Land being "okay" and Moon being just not as good as the others primarily due to itemization. All the crazy weapons, and shapeshifted form gets really frick all. Owlbear at level 6 effectively has 3 attacks per turn. You do the pounce, then multiattack.
I think its the same with Beast Master, people just haven't figured it all out and might be going on outdated wiki shit.

She was a slave who couldn't trust or touch anyone she was around for 10 years, it basically stunted her emotional development as a teen. She starts out angry (but not bad in any way) but the nicer you are to her the more her old self comes out, she stays violent btw she always supports violence.

Honestly, her writing and mannerisms are the least of the character's problems. The bulk of the issue lies in her borderline Mary Sue/Author's Pet status. Example A: >Lae'zel will literally talk trash about every single party member. Don't think there is a single one she doesn't dislike to some extent or at the very least, isn't abrasive towards to some extent (at least at the onset). But holy mother of Lolth, the second Karlach joins, Lae'zel's first mention of her is filled with nothing but praise and adoration. A complete 180 for Lae'zel. Strike 1 >Karlach also seems to be completely exempt from party conflict. She has no troubling concerns with other party members (maybe Milfthara if you get her on your team, but that doesn't really count). Yeah, some tension with Wyll at the very start, but that's over before it even begins. It's like with Lae'zel and Shadowheart. Or like with Astarion's vampirism and everyone else looking at their necks the morning after for bite marks. >Side against Karlach in a conversation? >EVERYONE DISAPPROVES >Side with Karlarch in a conversation or confrontation? >EVERYONE APPROVES, EVEN THE OWLBEAR AND THE DOG, SCRATCH! ALSO, A RAINBOW FORMS OVERHEAD, ALONG WITH AN ANGELIC CHOIR THAT BEGINS SINGING "GLORY BE ON HIGH"
At best, Karlach edges dangerously close to the border of insufferably anachronistic. At worst, she skirts the line between author's self-insert and author's pet.

Druid isn't amazing at any particular thing, but they are really good at basically everything. Good spells, both offense and support, good summons, good healing, and their shapeshifting shouldn't be undersestimated. Most of their shape changes are pretty strong, and that they don't "die" when they die in shapeshift form is pretty ridiculous. I havent played one as much
And I dont really get your comment on Barbarian. Have you seen the way barbs work in this? They get some pretty strong shit even at higher levels, at least Karlach's subclass does. Yeah action surge is great but my Karlach out damages Lazael every round she doesnt action surge easily, while being more mobile and tanky.

Druid is also great because it gets free (FREE) guidance and I fricking love it. I don't have to carry Shadowheart in my party 24/7 like so many other people because of it.
>all 3 girls in the team are well written, with sprawling quest lines and good character development
There's also Minthara, who's blatantly unfinished and has a fraction of the dialogue she should and doesn't react to events she really should.
>Didn't they specifically force playtesters to do evil routes?
They split the default Tav and Durge because of sissies in their QA team. Durge (resist) x Good Shadowheart is kino.
Yeah, but even then you've got to still save her in act 2. She's not a companion that just sticks with you after act 1, like 75% of the companions.
So I wouldn't be surprised that enough playtesters ended up skipping over that bit, or there was a cut off point to stop people from leaking shit. Might be the same reason the game gets more buggy the further you get closer to act 2's final and gets full on buggy in act 3.
Was she ever meant to be a companion? She is far too easy to simply kill and never recruit.
She was supposed to be a reward for people who wanted to go evil, one of their make the evil route rewarding things.
Unfortunately, the trade off of 1 companion over 3 or more isn't really worth it.
I hope we get more companions in future updates. My wishlist: >Alfira bard companion if you get Mol to like you and save the Tieflings as an extra reward for helping Hellgypsies. >More Evil companions and a chance to corrupt Wyll if you lop pff Karlach's head. >Kagha as an evil alternative to Halsin if you do special shadow druid questline. >Evil Goblin Companion. >More quests in Act 3 for Jaheira and Minsc, especially after you meet Jaheira's family and help Minsc get in the good graces of Ninefingers. >More gear, some classes get jack shit, while other classes get hilariously broken shit. >rethink how Haste works. Having two doomspells a turn is kinda crazy.
>There are these magic spell casters who can utilize the weave, which was created by this goddess named Mystra who made love to a massive narcissist named Gayle for some reason. They start off weak, but can basically curbstomp the frick out of crowds and certain bosses really easily once they level up >Oh, and there are fighters and Paladins, who go SWISSH and SVIIING with their gigantic swords, and basically attack nonstop with impunity, for MASSIVE DAMAGE. Do you want to be a medieval Batman? Frick yeah, you do! Then spec in Vengeance as your subclass you fricking chad! DO IT >Berserkers are basically Fighters and Paladins on steroids! They go RAAAAARRGH and rip and tear until it's done. Eye of the tiger, b***h! Extra movement for party members? More perception? Multiple attacks per turn? What's not to love? >How could I forget Monk? Basically, omae wa mo shindeiru you dumb wiener sucker They can attack with both melee and unarmed! Do you want to be an elven Bruce Lee who shags all of the Drow b***hes? Well, look no further! >....uh, Rogue is...well, Rogue does some stabbing I guess. All this job gets is feats and passives...that Drow armor looks cool I suppose..I mean, whatever floats your boat
She can also shave it, and her not doing it confirms she doesn't wash it. Frog and drow are shaved despite having only access to razors, shadowheart pretty much has access to magic equivalent of laser depilation, and has a bush.

>meanwhile le bard is a destroyer of worlds
true to its roots.
bard was originally a prestige class, needing 15+ in just about every stat and several levels of fighter, thief, and druid.
by the time you got to be a bard you were already a seasoned adventurer and had plenty of your own original stories to sing.

This is for AD&D 2e, but if I remember correctly, in AD&D 1e, you had to be a 9th Level Human or Half-Elf with crazy stat requirements to be a Bard. They were wild. Never actually came across one in 1e because of the requirements, but in 2e, I remember my fair share of bards. 3d6 ain't exactly conducive for 15's in stats.
1e:
human or half elf
minimum 15str, dex, wis, cha, 12 int, 10 con
Fighter level 6~8, Thief level 5~7 (in that order)
then you have to seek out a druidic circle to give you druid levels, counted as bard levels since you get additional bardic abilities (charm person ability, bonus languages each level, bardic lore/identify magic items)
and you had to join a bardic college if you wanted to get past bard level 1.

Thanks for the reminder. This was pretty much impossible back in the day unless your DM moved at a lightning pace. Still fricking insane requirements. Plus, regular Fighters, Clerics, Magic-Users, and Thieves were usually easier to get and to be good. Though a special place in my heart rests with Elvish Fighter/Magic-User Multiclass, Halfling Thieves, and Human Clerics.
all this forced romance shit could have been avoided if they just put a sexuality option in the character creator, just let me set my guy as straight and none of this would be a problem
This. Just let me cut it off by the root. I want to have Gale as a bro.
It's hilarious that 3 girls in the team are the only ones you can actually be "bros" with. Shadowheart is like if someone rolled Morrigan and Garrus into one character, she is super reliable about her observations and has some good banter with you.
I'm not a minmaxxing homosexual and the game on balanced doesn't really need it but frick me is trickster cleric fricking worthless.
Especially with how Larian mangles stealth and initiative.
>play good guy paladin >15h in >relationship with SH is merely fair >relationship with Gale is very good >she starts having esquizo episodes
karlach it is then
I like wyll too, big ups to Larian for making the token human both interesting and likable.
Shame he's a warlock thus competing for the face role with me and offers nothing of substance in combat besides.
>Hey, I know you're compelled by violence and murdered that poor defenseless girl and told us all that you were chosen by Bhaal to be his champion and murder everything that walks or crawls on the planet, but we can trust you to take control of Mother Brain, right?
Your companions should have been the final, final boss.
You don't. Seriously. Just don't. I did a whole playthrough for my first run as a Rogue and I regret it. It's fricking terrible. There's no salvaging it unless you go STEALTH ARCHER but then you may as well just do Ranger at that point. Just hold your breath for Larian to fix it in an eventual patch or just avoid it like a cloud of airborne AIDS. Literally any other class is better right now.
I think thief 3 (Might as well be 4) might be worth it.
Don't get me wrong, you'll be picking locks and disarming your traps like a boss. You'll be a glorified mine hound for the rest of your party. Making mad dosh. And all of that dosh will be going towards spending it on tons of medium and heavy armor that you can never wear. Oh, did you want to stealth it up? Well, good luck doing that past Act 1, when the game starts sending entire battalions of enemies at you in every encounter and boss fight. You'll be seeing more red than a bull who's charged into a fully occupied woman's bathroom.
Aww, were you hoping for some invisibility abilities like the Shadow Monks? TOO BAD, homosexual. Here's some more more feats for you. Better get used to using the same gear from Act 1 for the rest of the game, because Larian does not give a frick about you.
Rogue just kind of suffers in the game cause their whole deal is that they can always work at 100% strength since they don't run on resources at all, but it's piss easy to take rests when you need to
And you don't get a lot of fitting items like the other guys said.
Funnily enough, if you do shadowhearts questline upto the point she gets her armor and spear, it makes a great rogue setup (provided you willing to be a bow/handcross user since spears can't sneak attack)
Can crit on 19, can cast magical darkness at will, can't be blinded (so can stand in magical darkness without penalty) and the spear deals additonal damage to obscured creatures. Well not tailored to rogue/assassin in theme, it actually works out really well, currenlty using it
It's not like you can even steal gold from vendors anyway. I was a min/maxing shitlord with my Rogue, and my chance to steal their gold was always trash. Never worked. If I stole their gear, I could just sell it back to them, but their gold was always super limited. It was more trouble than it was worth. Rogue was good for making money, but it wasn't like I was rolling in dosh like everyone makes it out to be. Apart from witch, Rogues better at lock picking and infiltration, not picking pockets. Maybe if they had some mage abilities like Gals or Shadow Monk, I would agree. But they don't. They are exclusively reliant on feats and gear/accessories.

This is infinitely more depraved than bearsex and i havent seen a single one of you b***h about it. Which leads me to the conclusion none of you are out of act 1
you're a guy playing as a woman in a video game where you set up a situation for that woman you think you are to get fricked by a man.
peak homosexualry.
>Hey anon, video games are fun and all, but the tabletop game is even more fun! >I-in fact, I'm running 5e for a group of new players this Friday night and we have room for one more... would you like to join?
Someone mentioned in a thread a day ago they were attempting a duo run with their Rogue and...Lae'zel or Shadowheart, IIRC. On fricking Tactical mode
I wished him good fricking luck with that.
I think you could do it with that cape that makes you invisible on kill, and using tons of potions, throwing items, etc. Barb berserker would probably be best.
I can only imagine abusing magic items and stealthing constantly. You'd probably just break quests. I guess you can kind of play some situations out grandly where you weaken people plot wise to play battles out in your favor. You can get the grove to fall into civil war if you steal the idol, which is one example I know of.
The more I hear about this Dark Urge origin character, the more I am heavily considering dropping my current second play through with my half elf monk. This just sounds too enticing. I'm almost done with Act 1, but this sounds too good to pass up.
One of you inbred moron degenerates, gimme the spoiler; Did Larian program a harem ending into this game, or is it literally a choice between Angry Sex Frog and Less-Interesting Camellia?
The silver lining is that frog girl is the secret best romance in the game. Not even exaggerating. The only romance to get an actual arc and development over the entire game.
>the exoticism of the Dragonborn race that doesn't really adhere to the English language
Fine then, Dyrge. Like Wyrm, because it's a lizard.
>The silver lining is that frog girl is the secret best romance in the game
I'm asking because I'm currently in the Shar trial dungeon, and I took a rest and then Lae'zel was like "Hey dude, instead of sleeping how about you beat the shit out of me and then we make out". And obviously I said yes.
You have best taste.
Unfortunately, I romanced her first run as a Rogue. I had to cheat just to beat her. Larian did NOT think that encounter through, let me tell you that much. Had her outfitted with full Gith gear, Soulbreaker Greatsword, etc. Frick me

>baby fat cheeks >goth make up >looks like she regularly shops at hot topic and then poses for Only Fans on the weekends
Glad I got to kill her along with Simmins
>killed her
ah you didnt even get to the best part like how shes in a serious lesbian relationship with a daughter of selune that very daughter who talks about how shes literally about to frick isobel because they havnt seen each other in 100 years after ketheric is dead.
You forgot to mention, Selune's aasimar, the butch dyke, stomps Ketheric's bead in with absolute mania.
What's interesting about Kethetic, he only turned evil to save his daughter, Isobel. He wanted to resurrect her, no matter the price.
So, the butch bulldyke brutalizes her girlfriend's father, who effectively sacrificed himself for her, and they proceed to have metaphorical sex on his corpse. This is activist writing. The regressive patriarch, that was against his daughter's homosexual relationship, is butchered and stomped to a pulp, and the victorious lesbian engages in sex acts on his corpse.
>/pol/gay >Defending a villain
Well, imagine my shock.
Did you forget the part where poor innocent Ketheric betrayed his god twice and raised an evil army to do that new dark god's bidding, twice, destroyed a portion of the land out of spite (even killing and cursing his family), enslaved an elder brain and infected a substantive portion of the sword coast with mindflayer parasites and used his dead daughter's lover as a voodoo doll life battery torture victim for a century.
But I guess it's evil feminism that said 100-year-long torture victim is mad about it because he's a man and she's a woman. Even Shadowheart (at the time still a cleric of Shar) says is mildly tragic motivation doesn't justify his actions.
Shar wouldn't give him his daughter back, so he turned to another god.
Everything he did, was out of contract, so that Isobel could remain alive.
He has every right to despise the dyke, and Selune, because the dyke was the reason his daughter died, and Selune did nothing to help, even though her daughter was fricking Isobel.

She was a mortal she got a coof and died. It's not Selune's job to keep every mortal alive, Ao wouldn't even allow it. Night song didn't even know until she was dead.

homie none of those are bad, the frick is wrong with you?
Insufferable dyke, only topped by her bull dyke girlfriend
>the best female NPC
Mulatto schizo. I enjoyed butchering her and taking my rightful place in my dark urge playthrough.
Glorified prostitute. Brags about having kissed tons of men and being trained to use her sexuality as a weapon. Doesn't put out until Act 3, or even later in dark justiciar route, even though she had no problem spreading her legs all her life.
Her grandfather is Sarevok Anchev, you moron.
Did you think the neomarxists at Larian would miss the chance to have the token bantu Black person impregnate white women and producing mulatto spawn?
>Insufferable dyke
Why do you even have a dick if you're not using it to correct lesbians?
[...]
There has literally been an NSFW armor/clothing mod for like 3 years.
The Nightsong dyke is the most insufferable kind of dyke that exists. The butch bulldyke that skinwalks as a caricature of a man.
The game does not portray dykes like your yuri anime, and you are perfectly aware. There's zero femininity, and there are zero cute girls kissing each other. It's just masculinized dykes being crass and aggressive. Keep coping though.
>Female warrior angel demigod is unrealistic and insufferable
Please just go with your dumb frickwitery. I challenge you to point out an issue with how the nightsong acts given she's been locked up and used as a reverse voodoo doll for 100 years.
>homosexual aasimar that has more testosterone than gale and astarion combined >after you save her, she tells you to frick off because she wants to fingerbang her girlfriend >you have to sit through cutscenes of the dykes eye-fricking each other and groping each other.
She is the absolute stereotype of a butch bulldyke. They consciously made her that way, because it ticks several activist boxes. No more gentle and demure goddesses in armor, like old RPGs and high-fantasy literature, that's misogynistic! No more chaste, virginal warrior goddesses like in european mithohistory and european (and japanese, chinese, and korean) literature, that's misogynistic! The warrior demi-goddess needs to be a crass man in a woman's skin! So progressive.
Imagine if the nightsong was male, and the first thing he said once you saved him was "Okay lad, frick off now, because I want to pound my girlfriend's ass and choke her with my phallus." - would it fly? Nah, that would be heckin' sexist and revolting!

I've done evil playthroughs, moron. Stop deflecting and avoiding addressing the argument.
The only way to save the c**ts at the Last Light inn, get the Selune route for shadowheart, get the best resolution for karlach's arc, and 4(or 5) more quest chains in Act 3, is by saving the bull dyke.
They never mention they are dykes, by the way, and once they reveal it, they give them both an UNKILLABLE buff, so you can't even kill them once the quest is resolved. Funny, that. Isobel didn't have the Selune buff for all of Act 2, and there are several quest routes that have her die, but as soon as she is revealed to be a dyke, the devs give make her immortal! The ONLY characters in the game to be immortal are the two dykes, and a kid that comes to your camp.

There are strong, independent female leaders everywhere. They are all sassy, aggressive, cut-offish, and/or hotheaded. They epitomize "toxic masculinity", but it's okay because they are female.

The activist developers don't care what you do once you've ingested the propaganda. The point of normalization is to expose the subject to the repeated stimulus. The emotional response (in this case killing the NPC) is of no consequence. The next time the stimulus occurs, the emotional response will be milder, and the time after that, even milder, until the stimulus is normalized and the subject is either desensitized and apathetic or ideologically converted.
This is cognitive psychology 102, it's not even apocryphal. And it's obvious once you notice it.

I assumed going to the frog people nest to get the tadpole removed was for close to the end of act 1 but I'm starting to think it might be more of a pitstop.
I have no idea why I've even wandered into the underdark. Does going to the frog hangout cut you off from any content or should I go do it so I feel like my exploring has context?
The Underdark is its' own large area, you want to go there for XP and some of the best loot in the game (Adamantine). As far as I know, there is no way to actually cut yourself off from content outside of physically entering Act 2, which if you're just getting to the Githyanki fort in the Mountains, you're not really near yet.

You WILL make a tiefling healer
You WILL romance Karlach
You WILL go to hell with her out of pure love
You WILL give her strenght to someday return instead of dying to a faulty machine
>remove rest clothes >remove underwear >set active cosmetic outfit to rest clothes
shadowheart has been running around naked since the nautilus and if she isn't in your game you're the big gay.
Yeah but unlike X-23 where I want to heal her, there was very clearly an ulterior motive with Shadowheart considering everybody else available so it just feels like a device and I hate it
Even if you feed her the Nedstark mushroom in Act 1, and she regains her memories, she still doesn't put out until Act 3.
Stop coping. It's a device, a vehicle for propaganda. Shadowheart is the only humanoid female in the cast. She is the only conventionally attractive female in the cast. She is the only female in the cast that doesn't act or look like a bulldyke. It's obvious 90% of the playerbase will pursue her romantically.
Thus, she is the perfect vehicle to send a message. And that message was the revelation she was very promiscuous.
The writers used this method a ton in the game. The revelation about the Selune dykes. The revelation about Astarion's homosexual past. The revelation about the fact your guardian, even if you chose it to be female, is a male mindflayer.
The writers use these gotchas, because they are psychological primers. If you've emotionally invested in a character, and it's revealed they have done something that you find morally reprehensible or impermissible, you are more likely to reframe your position or even shift your convictions and principles. Because you were primed beforehand.
He was a man before turning into a mindflayer, you moron. He remembers his human life. He is a male.
What is this weird coping, why would you even try to defend the genderswap reveal? Why die on this hill?

There's a reason she was written like this. When you internalize the game is a vehicle for propaganda, everything starts making sense.
If you absolutely nail it with the approval checks, you can frick her in Act 1. Her romance is 100% tied to approval, and has no bearing on quests or world-state. You get the dialog option "You've been looking at me differently" and that initiates the romance.
Why is it always one deranged discord schizo going on about some conspiracy bullshit, when 99% of the "gotcha moments" can easily be explained by: >It's been part of Sword Coast shit since forever
Or >Welcome to Swen's magical realm.
This game mindbroke a lot of people, not just game journalists and lazy devs that would after one in construction.
Literal Demon is down for you to frick other people as long as you come back to frick her.
Shadowheart's only down for you to frick other people, after you've fricked her.
No, shadowheart is only open to you fricking other MEN, once you are locked into romance with her.
She is okay with MMF polyamorous relationships, but she will break up with you if you frick any of the female companions (or even a prostitute).
She even jokes about you both doing your best to tackle Helsin in his bear form. She is secretly the most promiscuous and depraved companion of them all.
Lae'zel treats you like a human dildo. She is yet another neomarxist, in vogue stereotype of the strong and independent woman that uses men for pleasure, like glorified sex toys.
Githyanki culture is at no point presented as good or desirable.
Also, she's an egg-laying species and its implies she as a non broodmare is sterile or at least doesn't ovulate.
It makes perfect sense a race of sterile warriors fighting a forever war would not be a sexually selective as placental females
They basically made shadowheart a trojan horse. They knew from EA that was popular so they made sure to make her the longest romance and to reveal she's actually a huge bawd.
Your options are. Obvious spoilers apply, but these are the only good endings >Turn her into a Squid monster so she doesn't die. >Romance her and go to hell with her to spend the rest of your life together so she doesn't die. >If you don't romance her, or your romance bugs and you choose certain choices with Wyll, he'll go with her to hell instead so she doesn't die.
I liked Karlach+ Wyll ending.
Wyll saved his Dad and made amends, returns to hell to pay for hia contract.
Karlach joins him and they ride together ,like Cowboys, into the sunset. Or whatever counts as sunset in hell.
>go to hell with her to spend the rest of your life together
What's so bad about this? Sounds like a reasonable price to pay to get with the best girl.
Astarion is so flamboyant, he's hilarious.
Gale on the other hand is an annoying sperg. >HEY, let's do some magic and sex okay. >frick off Gale. >oh, you and %romanceable companion% are a thing? Let's do magic and sex okay? >frick off Gale. >I could die any moment, let's do magic and sex, okay? >frick off Gale.
Guy just can't take a hint. Even Squidward and Halsin took the rejection with stride. Hell, even the Orcgirl was never this annoying.
>Stealth attack + Drow poison dual attack >Nothing personal Hide back into shadows (even in daylight) to dash towards next high value target to put down/disable
But no, legit action economy for Fighter/Monk is pretty silly and Rouge's more or less doing what it can to play catch up via items. Seeing even bosses roll like 5-6 saving throws doing a single attack change though is great. Also getting 30+'s doing decisive rolls is never not funny.
>Steel Watcher in the city drops a bread crumb that you can go to the foundry and fix Karlach's heart >but you actually can't fix her heart at all >the "good" Karlach ending is both of you going to hell forever so she doesn't explode

Easy to overlook or aell, but I am a hoarder and I send every green+ item to the stash.
Nah, Tav is canonically a GAY human male fighter and he loves his husband The Emperor. Seethe. Although he cheats on the emperor with Halsin, Astairon, Gale, Wyll and The Dark urge. He's a bawd.
I'm almost 40 hours in and she hasn't even given my character a blowjob, definitely a pure tradwife.

need the homosexual and cuck discord morons to kill themselves
I never got the obsession with the human male fighter meme. Shit gets upboated on reddit too.
It's the realistic class you can be in real life

Lol. Lmao even.
it's the patrician way to enjoy fantasy and sci-fi although I usually play dwarf myself
Larian seething back at the early access, i just pick it cause it fits better for jack garland roleplay than paladin
It’s the most vanilla protagonist that caters to the main consumer demographic and the archetype that dates back to stories such as Beowulf and Gilgamesh. Characters of different races and occupations such as wizard need more establishment in the story since they have information and backstory that relates to it that the viewer and consumer wouldn’t know and needs explained to. Hence stories about becoming a wizard as opposed to being a wizard
Tasteless spergs who can't into roleplaying.
being a knight is the ultimate chad fantasy, wizard nerds and rogue cowards stay SEETHING
to btfo homos who think their character is inherently more interesting if they have gay horns or something
It's unironically a white supremacist dogwhistle.
They find it easier to self-insert as some generic knight dude for whatever reason. Personally for me it's sorcerers/wizards. If I were Isekai'd I'd want to do magic.
The general extraverted feeling vibes that you get (Which is basically just having an opinion on something because everyone else is), is that spell casting is cringe for some reason. Likely as a response to the reputation that magic is "OP" in 3e or some shit.
That and a general valorization of manliness or what have you.
It's not that deep. I just like martial styled heroes like King Arthur, Hercules, and Achilles, so naturally I drift towards fighters.
I don't really care for magic. It's not as cool to me as beating a supernatural being with nothing but your wits, physical strength, and speed.
It's a backlash by people who are just as stupid as SJWs but in the opposite direction.
When I was dming, I wished for generic human male fighter man
Why not a human male wizard or something? Martialgays tend to be up their own asses
Fighter is easy, you don't need to think about spells or anything like that you just tell the dm you roll to attack and he tells you if it hits
>play Bard
>see a lot of approval from Shadowheart due to persuasion moments

>elf male ranger with long blonde hair
is ranger fun? i rolled a monk but not feeling it and want to make a new character
you can reroll anytime at camp
its the most boring class in the game, ranger sucks
At least the job is more effective than Rogue. You can call animals! You actually have an interesting ability! Rogues don't even get that much! We just have feats! Hell, we don't even get a cool weapon until we kill Gender swapped Sarevok in Act 3
You can't even make a blonde character anymore. The glorious blonde hair in EA is fricking gone. They either downgraded massively due to console parity or there is some serious wokeism going on.
Copy that
shadowcute!
is there a youtube vid of her romance scenes? i didnt long rest enough and im pretty sure im locked out of seeing her later ones. ive completed her questline in act 3 already.
if you let her worship shar she uses nightsongs blood as lubricant
yes but be warned she is the vanilla romance so dont get your hopes of erection unless its rule 34 porn
AI SLOPPA
While this is likely true, my favorite non canon pairing is Human Male Paladin (body type D) and his tomboy tiefling wife Karlach.
I HATE IT WHEN I CREATE A CHARACTER THEN FINDS A NPC WITH SAME FACE AS MINE A FEW HOURS LATER!!!
It's a white human male OoD Paladin of Selune perchance
Shadowheart strikes me as someone who loves riskier men. Vengeance would do the trick.
Maybe a white human female OoV Paladin of Tyr
Canon custom is Dark Urge otherwise you get a literally who that contributes nothing to the other leads and their dark troubled pasts
Im almost done act 2 and still cant seem to romance her. Did I do something wrong
Her romance is the slow burn of the game. Fix her first.
Did you do the Gauntlet of Shar and the drink at night? But yeah, even doing everything there is to do, I'm pretty sure the most you can get with Shadowheart until Act 3 are kisses.
Pureheart
Canonically rode the wiener carousel, though.
Shadowheart and Karlach are canonically virgins.
Proofs?
Didn't save it, but there was a screenshot of a dialogue log with her that is essentially
>Yeah I fricked around as per Shar's guidance
>But I assure you, you're the best 🙂
So you didn't play the game and purely shitpost in these threads
If you have evidence or, I guess, an anecdote to the contrary, you're free to post it.
>>But I assure you, you're the best 🙂
Based Swen preemptively including that so you won't feel insecure
Don't worry bro she becomes a bawd after you romance her
What? You like bawds don't you? Larian has got you covered
You can miss out on her if you didn't Long Rest enough in Act 1. If the Liche guy at camp calls you an incel it means you fricked up.
Lmao you can power-talk her into dating you before you even get to the goblin fight.
Just say the right stuff to her.
Been running female tiefling dark urge for maybe 30 hours now. Someone trying to be a good person despite being borderline inherently evil has always seemed endearing to me.
Based.
Yeah I think tieflings catch a lot of flack. It's a cool design at the end of the day.
I just started playing this and realized I can make her completely naked. How bad of an idea is that? I don't really know how good armor is.
It's funny if you do it at the murder rape goblin camp the male enemies will only target her. I'm not sure if it happens with the other girls.
Just swap to camp gear in the inventory and take it all off. All the stats of wearing armour while also being naked.
>fighting the rogues inside a cave with Underdark elevator

>all 3 girls in the team are well written, with sprawling quest lines and good character development
>guys are all dog shit and you can't just be friends with them, you're either their gay lover or a complete butthole to them
Okay Larian
A male paladin and 3 hoes it is then
Holy shit, this. What the frick was Larian thinking? Why can't I just bro it up with Gale/Astarion/Wyll? Can barely interact with them without feeling like a massive gay
It's a shitty side-effect of the fact that every romance option has to be player-sexual. It's like I don't recall ever seeing any gay shit with Alistar in Dragon Age because his romance flags were just for a female PC.
It's not just that, it's just Larian being moronic and not giving you the correct dialogue options
Ever heard of pic related? His romance starts without your input, the "yeah bro we're good friends" dialogue CONTINUES the romance, you specifically need to be an butthole to break off the romance THAT HE STARTS, it was so bad that Owlcat had to patch it out
And he's straight, only romanceable by women
I'm pretty sure the romance flags are bugged, I keep getting dialogue options for scenes I never started.
Playersexual romance options are terrible even Bioware stopped doing it after DA2
They should have just a prompt at the beginning of the game what sex are you attracted to and set the flags accordingly.
That way normal people as well as gays would be satisfied.
>you calmly call a team meeting
>your party gathers around you
>"I'M NOT GAY YOU homosexualS!"
The issue with that is they're going to scream at you that you're engaging in bi and gay erasure if you're allowed to censor character proclivities. Doesn't matter if you can imagine a system where the possibly gay characters still act gay with other gay characters. They will just scream at you.
People are STILL b***hing to this day, in the year of our Lord 2023, that characters like Tali and Cassandra weren't bisexual.
Tali and Jack were the only 2 good characters, and they were 100% straight.
i had heard they wanted to make tali bi but her voice actress was based and told them no
that's amazing.
i just wanted to be bro's with gale, he's a cool ass dude but the game keeps throwing this gay shit at me
Just BE Gale or female and he won't be gay.
>BE Gale
i don't want to be him, i want to be his dwarf barbarian bro
>playing a female
thats even more gay then being gay with him
It's funny how Gale's the only one guys really are mad about not being able to be bros with. No one cares about the other males, I guess.
Because Wyll is just kind of boring and whiney
Basically, yeah. Gale is actually very fun to have in your party, regardless of whom you are romancing. But the problem is that he treats you as the love of your life regardless of the way you approach him.
>bro,I get it, you're a ticking time bomb, not get my hand off your chest already massive gaylord
dude just wants to bust before he blows
He was fricking the spiritual manifestation of magic itself, I don't see how slipping his schlong into my man cave is gonna compete
she wouldnt do anal
Just get Karlach instead. She can actually treat you MOSTLY as a bro. She has a horny moment but it's understandable since she's been deprived human touch for a decade.
>No Gale-san, stop! We can't do it in public!
I had this scene trigger in the rafters of Minthara's base, right above Gut's chair
Nobody wondering what that purple light is up above for a good five minutes, and then Raphael teleports behind me after taking two steps.
Me in the back

>Anon the gay sex you need to suck my dick!
Astarion is aggressively gay. In mannerisms, how he talks, and how he looks. I don't think you can even see him as anything but gay as a male Tav. He calls you darling every other sentence.
>He calls you darling every other sentence
It's a term of endearment, darling, nothing more
>That fricking homosexual
Dmitri please, you're just mad he had your mother more than your father
>Grand Budapest Hotel Poster
My faith in this board has risen ever so slightly.
I'm having a fricking blast with Astarion as a companion. Never a dull moment with him.
He's beyond obnoxious and about 90% of the time his supposedly charming and witty one-liners fall flat on their face. What sorts of things trigger approval or disapproval with him also contributes to how awful he is, as well - the worst of which was him aggressively tipping his fedora at my Deep Gnome PC when I offered a prayer to some fallen Deep Gnomes at the forge. I fricking hate him.
Astarion is cool but he's not bro material at all, and Wyll is boring as frick, Halsin is alright though
>Tell Halsin to stop being a gay and go mingle with people at the party
>Game takes this as aggressive flirting
Astarion is a surprisingly fun character but you don't want to be friends with him, you want to bully him.
Gale is clearly designed to be Alistair of the game with a magical flair to him. Which is why it's annoying he CAN'T be Alistair.
So far Gale is the only one I've had to be a complete dick to to decline the gay route. Had to insult his cat or something or risk an unwanted prostate exam.
I liked Wyll and had him in my party until he got transformed into a devil he looks stupid and I don't want him in my party., Just got Karlach specced into a warmaster instead. Just shows how op paladins are because she's weak as shit comparatively
The frick are you on about? Say what you will about her writing, but she was the tankiest, second hardest hitting character in my party for my first run. Made her a berserker and she was always the last one standing. Killed tons of enemies, basically rivaled Lae'zel. You didn't make her into one of those Wild Heart homosexual subclasses, right?
I said in my post she's a warmaster fighter. Smite is just comically broken.
You said she was weak as shit before you changed her class though. Karlach fricking hard carried my Rogue ass during Act 3
NTA,
I liked karlach's writing.
The fact, however, is barbarians peak at 5, they're a quinessential multiclass class. Fighters peak at 11 and the game ends at 12 so las zel will out scale her.

boy they must have nerfed the shit out of druids from tabletop. or given buffs to everyone else and no love to druid.
Stop looking at the actual tabletop tier list and focus on the game tier list. ..Although Assassin being in E tier should fricking explain a lot. Monk being that low does NOT add up in BG3 however. It's strong as frick. Especially considering a certain character who appears in Act 3. (No, not the hamster homosexual)
monkbros I dont feel so good
Monk is very good in BG3 due to not only the great items, but also moving features down. Level 20 Monk in tabletop restores Ki, level like fricking 4 does in BG3 because they slapped it onto Wholeness of Body. Also Open Hand get a level 17? feature at level 9.
I think Spore is the strongest of the 3, Land being "okay" and Moon being just not as good as the others primarily due to itemization. All the crazy weapons, and shapeshifted form gets really frick all. Owlbear at level 6 effectively has 3 attacks per turn. You do the pounce, then multiattack.
I think its the same with Beast Master, people just haven't figured it all out and might be going on outdated wiki shit.
Shadow fist chads, where you at
personally i think it's underrated on that list. Teleporting at-will is pretty fricking good unless your DM is some kind of gay that constantly puts you into broad daylight or dungeons with powerful fluorescent lighting
I did Shadowfist 8 and Thief 4 and it's great.
Swords should be at least A.
This tier list is awful.
do tell
>Druid lower than Rogue and Ranger
>Monk being anywhere near the bottom
You clearly didn't level up Barbarian past level 5. Either that or you're playing on memelord Tactician mode.
Monk should be middle tier at worst. Rogue and Ranger should be bottom tier. Move Druid up some and then I would agree.
It wasn't a ranking, it was what they do (other than rp tier). I might have been too hard on monk, they're not even as close to redundant as a druid (especially since you don't get one) but they're not the best at anything.
>but they're not the best at anything.
I cant say with absolutely certainty but they probably have the best mobility in most situations.
>I liked karlach's writing.
Note, people generally aren't complaining about her story or anything. They're complaining that she talks like a pub slag who opens every sentence with "frick".
>i served in the blood wars for 10 years
>like fricking oh em gee hes so heckin cute
Its a weird juxtaposition going from DOOM slayer to valley girl
She was a slave who couldn't trust or touch anyone she was around for 10 years, it basically stunted her emotional development as a teen. She starts out angry (but not bad in any way) but the nicer you are to her the more her old self comes out, she stays violent btw she always supports violence.
I feel like any issue with Karlach's writing comes from judging the book by its cover.
She talks like a liberal woman's idea of a strong woman which ended up sounding like a tryhard bulldyke.
Nani?
I'm playing a game where I'm romancing her right now, I've basically had her in the party for 100% of the game what are you talking about?
She cries all the time, she talks about being afraid, she likes to hit shit (she's a barbarian) and she supports her friends and hates slavery?
What does she say that sounds like a 'liberal strong woman'? No we can't do *comically evil* option?
Just the way she talks in general.
>loud and vulgar
>throws tantrums
>rawrrrrr!!!!!
Not that anon, but I think you're actually moronic and have never spoken to a real woman.
She talks like a big chungus woman
I certainly don't talk to those types at least.
Like every barbarian ever? the only difference between Karlach and a stock DnD barb is she's not comically moronic to the point of not know what cutlery is or some shit.
The barbarian part is part of the bulldyke feel, yes. Women can't do intimidating, guttural roars. It's embarrassing to listen to.
Literally accurate female
>western female
there is a reason why she deserves death or Avernus
Only in text. Audio would clear up the distinction.
Honestly, her writing and mannerisms are the least of the character's problems. The bulk of the issue lies in her borderline Mary Sue/Author's Pet status. Example A:
>Lae'zel will literally talk trash about every single party member. Don't think there is a single one she doesn't dislike to some extent or at the very least, isn't abrasive towards to some extent (at least at the onset). But holy mother of Lolth, the second Karlach joins, Lae'zel's first mention of her is filled with nothing but praise and adoration. A complete 180 for Lae'zel. Strike 1
>Karlach also seems to be completely exempt from party conflict. She has no troubling concerns with other party members (maybe Milfthara if you get her on your team, but that doesn't really count). Yeah, some tension with Wyll at the very start, but that's over before it even begins. It's like with Lae'zel and Shadowheart. Or like with Astarion's vampirism and everyone else looking at their necks the morning after for bite marks.
>Side against Karlach in a conversation?
>EVERYONE DISAPPROVES
>Side with Karlarch in a conversation or confrontation?
>EVERYONE APPROVES, EVEN THE OWLBEAR AND THE DOG, SCRATCH! ALSO, A RAINBOW FORMS OVERHEAD, ALONG WITH AN ANGELIC CHOIR THAT BEGINS SINGING "GLORY BE ON HIGH"
At best, Karlach edges dangerously close to the border of insufferably anachronistic. At worst, she skirts the line between author's self-insert and author's pet.
Yeah she's a total mary sue but I still like her because she's a red girl with cyborg parts.
That's weird because her romance and ending are complete shit. If she was a mary sue self-insert you think she'd get a better conclusion to her story.
You think self-inserters don't fantasise about falling on their sword like a classical tragedy?
Druid isn't amazing at any particular thing, but they are really good at basically everything. Good spells, both offense and support, good summons, good healing, and their shapeshifting shouldn't be undersestimated. Most of their shape changes are pretty strong, and that they don't "die" when they die in shapeshift form is pretty ridiculous. I havent played one as much
And I dont really get your comment on Barbarian. Have you seen the way barbs work in this? They get some pretty strong shit even at higher levels, at least Karlach's subclass does. Yeah action surge is great but my Karlach out damages Lazael every round she doesnt action surge easily, while being more mobile and tanky.
Druid is also great because it gets free (FREE) guidance and I fricking love it. I don't have to carry Shadowheart in my party 24/7 like so many other people because of it.
why is she so fricking cute
>all 3 girls in the team are well written, with sprawling quest lines and good character development
There's also Minthara, who's blatantly unfinished and has a fraction of the dialogue she should and doesn't react to events she really should.
she also gets one of the more detailed sex scenes
shadowheart even as a shartgay is just a kiss and fade to black
I do appreciate that she sucks you off every morning offscreen.
Didn't they specifically force playtesters to do evil routes?
>Didn't they specifically force playtesters to do evil routes?
They split the default Tav and Durge because of sissies in their QA team. Durge (resist) x Good Shadowheart is kino.
Yeah, but even then you've got to still save her in act 2. She's not a companion that just sticks with you after act 1, like 75% of the companions.
So I wouldn't be surprised that enough playtesters ended up skipping over that bit, or there was a cut off point to stop people from leaking shit. Might be the same reason the game gets more buggy the further you get closer to act 2's final and gets full on buggy in act 3.
She was supposed to be a reward for people who wanted to go evil, one of their make the evil route rewarding things.
Unfortunately, the trade off of 1 companion over 3 or more isn't really worth it.
I hope we get more companions in future updates. My wishlist:
>Alfira bard companion if you get Mol to like you and save the Tieflings as an extra reward for helping Hellgypsies.
>More Evil companions and a chance to corrupt Wyll if you lop pff Karlach's head.
>Kagha as an evil alternative to Halsin if you do special shadow druid questline.
>Evil Goblin Companion.
>More quests in Act 3 for Jaheira and Minsc, especially after you meet Jaheira's family and help Minsc get in the good graces of Ninefingers.
>More gear, some classes get jack shit, while other classes get hilariously broken shit.
>rethink how Haste works. Having two doomspells a turn is kinda crazy.
I wouldn't be surprised if Minthara's so buggy, because of all the act 2 and 3 playtesters they had, only a small handful bothered doing evil routes.
Was she ever meant to be a companion? She is far too easy to simply kill and never recruit.
can I punch things to death in this game? like Kenshiro from that famous chinese cartoon?
Yeah, be a monk.
There's literally a "you're already dead" ability
You can also be a magic monk who paralyses people before exploding them
>There are these magic spell casters who can utilize the weave, which was created by this goddess named Mystra who made love to a massive narcissist named Gayle for some reason. They start off weak, but can basically curbstomp the frick out of crowds and certain bosses really easily once they level up

>Berserkers are basically Fighters and Paladins on steroids! They go RAAAAARRGH and rip and tear until it's done. Eye of the tiger, b***h! Extra movement for party members? More perception? Multiple attacks per turn? What's not to love?

You know women can wash their veganas, right?
She can also shave it, and her not doing it confirms she doesn't wash it. Frog and drow are shaved despite having only access to razors, shadowheart pretty much has access to magic equivalent of laser depilation, and has a bush.
>Frog and drow are shaved despite having only access to razors
Frog literally gets off on smell alone. So in turn, I don't think there is anything but stinky jinkies down there.
This shit coming from her made my dick shrivel up back inside my body
She looks so fricking unappealing in every way

i like her tiny whoville nose, it's cute, CUTE!
It's just a little bit of hair. She might like it that way or just doesn't want to put in the effort to be smooth. I mean, do you keep your groin smooth all the time?
You just opened pandora's box anon, don't even get me started my waxing routine, I can post some pelvis pictures if you want. It's not gay if you only see the base.

Default dark urge character is canon tav, and if you think otherwise, you think wrong.
But The Dark Urge is separate from Tav. Two different characters.
Larian wanted to make Durge as the default Tav but their QA team was too sensitive.
weak ass QA testers, its clearly better to be evil and chose to be good, than to just be the good boi.
you also get the option to be evil so thats more options.
canon character confirmed, no one gives a frick about QA, especially considering they didn't do their damn job for BG3. Game is buggier than a New York City apartment
Based fellow Lizard bro. Stay Scaley.
Based. But if you didn't name him this, you fricked up.
>Durgenburn!
Make it Dirge for both the pun and correct spelling
See, that's what I thought too, but I had to leave the U in there for both the exoticism of the Dragonborn race that doesn't really adhere to the English language, and for the fact that it fit so well with the pun. You really think I should change it?
>the exoticism of the Dragonborn race that doesn't really adhere to the English language
Fine then, Dyrge. Like Wyrm, because it's a lizard.
dark urge is a origin character, tav is not.
Honestly should have been a mix of the two
This game sucks

He's just shilling his shitty dead youtube channel, posts the same bullshit in every thread

Christ you are painfully unfunny man. This will work better with an audience of 12 year olds, so play Minecraft or fortnite
I was a rogue for my first playthrough, and I immediately regret it. Shittiest job in the game.
I like her and karlach. The frog is alright. Gale is cool but I'm not gay so I ain't gonna frick him. Wyll is a pussy homosexual. Astarion is the evil version of a pussy homosexual. I skipped the others.
Also for Gale it feels out of character as he literally was banging the goddess of magic and is clearly still a simping over her but of course to appease homosexuals all male characters have to be bi too
playersexual != bisexual
Gale shouldn't be romanceable. He's clearly into Mystra alone.
The question is; is there a way to romance her if you play as Gale?
Where are my /smallbros/ at? Halfilings, Gnomes and Dwarfs are super underrated races and everyone forgets about them. Having a lot of fun with my Halfling Cleric. And yes, Shadowbae is best girl.
I'm planning to make a halfling warlock who hates his own appearance, so he tadpolemaxxes into an illithid.
started as halfling rogue but around level 7 i switched to beastmaster ranger
Rogue buff patch when?
5e demands rogues are shitters only good for lockpicking and shit
meanwhile le bard is a destroyer of worlds
Don't know anything about D&D or 5e, but if that's true, than 5e can go suck on chode. Why can't Larian just...disregard 5e?
>meanwhile le bard is a destroyer of worlds
true to its roots.
bard was originally a prestige class, needing 15+ in just about every stat and several levels of fighter, thief, and druid.
by the time you got to be a bard you were already a seasoned adventurer and had plenty of your own original stories to sing.
This is for AD&D 2e, but if I remember correctly, in AD&D 1e, you had to be a 9th Level Human or Half-Elf with crazy stat requirements to be a Bard. They were wild. Never actually came across one in 1e because of the requirements, but in 2e, I remember my fair share of bards. 3d6 ain't exactly conducive for 15's in stats.
1e:
human or half elf
minimum 15str, dex, wis, cha, 12 int, 10 con
Fighter level 6~8, Thief level 5~7 (in that order)
then you have to seek out a druidic circle to give you druid levels, counted as bard levels since you get additional bardic abilities (charm person ability, bonus languages each level, bardic lore/identify magic items)
and you had to join a bardic college if you wanted to get past bard level 1.
Thanks for the reminder. This was pretty much impossible back in the day unless your DM moved at a lightning pace. Still fricking insane requirements. Plus, regular Fighters, Clerics, Magic-Users, and Thieves were usually easier to get and to be good. Though a special place in my heart rests with Elvish Fighter/Magic-User Multiclass, Halfling Thieves, and Human Clerics.
all this forced romance shit could have been avoided if they just put a sexuality option in the character creator, just let me set my guy as straight and none of this would be a problem
that would be a whole new can of worms. imagine all the rainbowgenders complaining that their particular sexuality isn't an option.
This. Just let me cut it off by the root. I want to have Gale as a bro.
It's hilarious that 3 girls in the team are the only ones you can actually be "bros" with. Shadowheart is like if someone rolled Morrigan and Garrus into one character, she is super reliable about her observations and has some good banter with you.
To anyone that finished the game, do the grimoire has any uses beyond reading his three pages?
Yes, image spoiler
>any character can get this
>Oathbreaker Paladin can literally build around it
cool, when you get that? during act 3?
Yes

I like Wyll.
I think the old Charlatan Wyll was more fun.
I like wyll too, big ups to Larian for making the token human both interesting and likable.
Shame he's a warlock thus competing for the face role with me and offers nothing of substance in combat besides.
Looks like a goblin
i like frogz 🙂
Actually its human male monk that romances Shadowheart so she can insistently nag you about being a fight gay while living on a farm together
kek this is my playthrough right now, and I didn't even think of the parallels
>Hey, I know you're compelled by violence and murdered that poor defenseless girl and told us all that you were chosen by Bhaal to be his champion and murder everything that walks or crawls on the planet, but we can trust you to take control of Mother Brain, right?
Your companions should have been the final, final boss.
I'm still confused as to why there is no joint ascension with your companions, you just mind control them and that's that.
Guys how do I rogue?
You don't. Seriously. Just don't. I did a whole playthrough for my first run as a Rogue and I regret it. It's fricking terrible. There's no salvaging it unless you go STEALTH ARCHER but then you may as well just do Ranger at that point. Just hold your breath for Larian to fix it in an eventual patch or just avoid it like a cloud of airborne AIDS. Literally any other class is better right now.
Owari da?
Don't get me wrong, you'll be picking locks and disarming your traps like a boss. You'll be a glorified mine hound for the rest of your party. Making mad dosh. And all of that dosh will be going towards spending it on tons of medium and heavy armor that you can never wear. Oh, did you want to stealth it up? Well, good luck doing that past Act 1, when the game starts sending entire battalions of enemies at you in every encounter and boss fight. You'll be seeing more red than a bull who's charged into a fully occupied woman's bathroom.
Aww, were you hoping for some invisibility abilities like the Shadow Monks? TOO BAD, homosexual. Here's some more more feats for you. Better get used to using the same gear from Act 1 for the rest of the game, because Larian does not give a frick about you.
Thanks I hate it.
Rogue just kind of suffers in the game cause their whole deal is that they can always work at 100% strength since they don't run on resources at all, but it's piss easy to take rests when you need to
And you don't get a lot of fitting items like the other guys said.
Funnily enough, if you do shadowhearts questline upto the point she gets her armor and spear, it makes a great rogue setup (provided you willing to be a bow/handcross user since spears can't sneak attack)
Can crit on 19, can cast magical darkness at will, can't be blinded (so can stand in magical darkness without penalty) and the spear deals additonal damage to obscured creatures. Well not tailored to rogue/assassin in theme, it actually works out really well, currenlty using it
>constant stealth attacks
>can steal from vendors so you can hoard all the gold and magical items you can carry
It has some perks
It's not like you can even steal gold from vendors anyway. I was a min/maxing shitlord with my Rogue, and my chance to steal their gold was always trash. Never worked. If I stole their gear, I could just sell it back to them, but their gold was always super limited. It was more trouble than it was worth. Rogue was good for making money, but it wasn't like I was rolling in dosh like everyone makes it out to be. Apart from witch, Rogues better at lock picking and infiltration, not picking pockets. Maybe if they had some mage abilities like Gals or Shadow Monk, I would agree. But they don't. They are exclusively reliant on feats and gear/accessories.
you can literally steal 500 gold before and after every long rest from volo in camp as well as 40 food backpack to make the long rest free
and if you get caught he just runs away and respawns 10 seconds later
>500 gold
Well that explains it. the hardcap is 500? Guess I just gotta get any one vendor's gold down to 500 then.
nope i just said 500 because he generally has 410-520 gold on him every time his shit refreshes
i routinely steal 1200+ from shops and i stole 1100 from withers after a few revives and respecs between me and my friend
You can also buy shit normally then steal your money back
the DC for pickpocketing gold is crazy high for some reason, like around 30 and you also cant get critical success like everything else
You can steal all of it. The DC is higher the more gold you try to steal so sell junk items first then steal the leftovers. I have 6000 gold doing it so far and I just got to the Underdark for the first time.
I think thief 3 (Might as well be 4) might be worth it.
>Ranged dps
Gloomstalker/rogue (5/7)
Thief with duel hand crossbows if you want to be an anime character
Assassin with a longbow for the nova the boss in one round man
>Skill monkey
Play a bard, hell bard fits astarion given his a vampire, what with the illusion magic and all.
Why longbow? Crossbow seems to have the highest damage, no?
lower damage die and you won't get your modifers to your off-hand unless you take a feat
Clownheart a cute!
How can you change how you look? I'm at the start of baulders gate
You can't
Feels bad. I took heterochromia in my pc and regret it
It's just some clown makeup you can buy in Act 3 of the game. Gives you immunity to Tasha's Hideous Laughter as well as making your companions look silly.
>hating the clussy

This is infinitely more depraved than bearsex and i havent seen a single one of you b***h about it. Which leads me to the conclusion none of you are out of act 1

kek, Karlach can't even catch a break in the ending
I reloaded and the scenes triggered but not hers, probably because I didn't romance her or something, but she and wyll left
>WHITE human male fighter*
FTFY
The security at this bank sucks ass
Looting every single vault was fun. Must have been only like 5k gold and 2 or 3 rare items though.
White Female High Elf Barbarian is the default Tav when you enter the character creator, simple as.
Is there anyone here who solo'd the game? Is that even possible?
Someone mentioned in a thread a day ago they were attempting a duo run with their Rogue and...Lae'zel or Shadowheart, IIRC. On fricking Tactical mode
I wished him good fricking luck with that.
I think you could do it with that cape that makes you invisible on kill, and using tons of potions, throwing items, etc. Barb berserker would probably be best.
I can only imagine abusing magic items and stealthing constantly. You'd probably just break quests. I guess you can kind of play some situations out grandly where you weaken people plot wise to play battles out in your favor. You can get the grove to fall into civil war if you steal the idol, which is one example I know of.
Dark Urge redemption is the canon run, with Shadowheart as the deuteragonist yes
The more I hear about this Dark Urge origin character, the more I am heavily considering dropping my current second play through with my half elf monk. This just sounds too enticing. I'm almost done with Act 1, but this sounds too good to pass up.
the latter
>the latter
Fricking why
The silver lining is that frog girl is the secret best romance in the game. Not even exaggerating. The only romance to get an actual arc and development over the entire game.
goddamnit, that's too brilliant. You win.
>The silver lining is that frog girl is the secret best romance in the game
I'm asking because I'm currently in the Shar trial dungeon, and I took a rest and then Lae'zel was like "Hey dude, instead of sleeping how about you beat the shit out of me and then we make out". And obviously I said yes.
You have best taste.
Unfortunately, I romanced her first run as a Rogue. I had to cheat just to beat her. Larian did NOT think that encounter through, let me tell you that much. Had her outfitted with full Gith gear, Soulbreaker Greatsword, etc. Frick me
I'm a Chad Paladin, so she just beat herself unconscious failing to hit me and damaging herself on my Adamatine armor.
One of you inbred moron degenerates, gimme the spoiler; Did Larian program a harem ending into this game, or is it literally a choice between Angry Sex Frog and Less-Interesting Camellia?
How many mods are there that make Shadowheart more attractive?
Actually it’s half-elf wizard who romanced Karlach and they have lots of babies

>baby fat cheeks

Glad I got to kill her along with Simmins
>>baby fat cheeks
>>goth make up
like she regularly shops at hot topic
Why would you say any of this like it's a bad thing? homie, you gay?
>killed her
ah you didnt even get to the best part like how shes in a serious lesbian relationship with a daughter of selune that very daughter who talks about how shes literally about to frick isobel because they havnt seen each other in 100 years after ketheric is dead.
but anon Ganker told me there wasn't any woke shit in this game and that it was just /misc/ being paranoid
You forgot to mention, Selune's aasimar, the butch dyke, stomps Ketheric's bead in with absolute mania.
What's interesting about Kethetic, he only turned evil to save his daughter, Isobel. He wanted to resurrect her, no matter the price.
So, the butch bulldyke brutalizes her girlfriend's father, who effectively sacrificed himself for her, and they proceed to have metaphorical sex on his corpse. This is activist writing. The regressive patriarch, that was against his daughter's homosexual relationship, is butchered and stomped to a pulp, and the victorious lesbian engages in sex acts on his corpse.
holy shit that's some tumblr level writing
>/pol/gay
>Defending a villain
Well, imagine my shock.
Did you forget the part where poor innocent Ketheric betrayed his god twice and raised an evil army to do that new dark god's bidding, twice, destroyed a portion of the land out of spite (even killing and cursing his family), enslaved an elder brain and infected a substantive portion of the sword coast with mindflayer parasites and used his dead daughter's lover as a voodoo doll life battery torture victim for a century.
But I guess it's evil feminism that said 100-year-long torture victim is mad about it because he's a man and she's a woman. Even Shadowheart (at the time still a cleric of Shar) says is mildly tragic motivation doesn't justify his actions.
Shar wouldn't give him his daughter back, so he turned to another god.
Everything he did, was out of contract, so that Isobel could remain alive.
He has every right to despise the dyke, and Selune, because the dyke was the reason his daughter died, and Selune did nothing to help, even though her daughter was fricking Isobel.
>Shar wouldn't give him his daughter back, so he turned to another god.
So how does that justify his actions? (also turning to the lady of loss to get somthing back, lol, lmao)
>Everything he did, was out of contract, so that Isobel could remain alive.
So how does that justify his actions?
>He has every right to despise the dyke, and Selune, because the dyke was the reason his daughter died, and Selune did nothing to help, even though her daughter was fricking Isobel.
She was a mortal she got a coof and died. It's not Selune's job to keep every mortal alive, Ao wouldn't even allow it. Night song didn't even know until she was dead.
Asl him being mad and Selune justifies none of what he did.
>justifications
He is a vilain, his actions are supposed to be tough to justify, you autistic chucklefrick.
His MOTIVES are perfectly justified. And Selune and her dyke daughter are equally CULPABLE for the actions he ended up taking.
Awesome waste of a post now you're pivoting from poor kethric once I laid out what he actually did and not just
the bullshit "Vindictive DYKES kill poor innocent old man!" narrative you were spewing.
>And Selune and her dyke daughter are equally CULPABLE for the actions he ended up taking.
He who asserts must prove.
Necromancy is inherently evil in DnD
>>baby fat cheeks
>>goth make up
like she regularly shops at hot topic and then poses for Only Fans on the weekends
homie none of those are bad, the frick is wrong with you?
ikr, Isobel is a hottie.
>the best female NPC
On a scale of 1 to "Throwaway character you can't frick", that's a big ol' 10.
Insufferable dyke, only topped by her bull dyke girlfriend
Mulatto schizo. I enjoyed butchering her and taking my rightful place in my dark urge playthrough.
Glorified prostitute. Brags about having kissed tons of men and being trained to use her sexuality as a weapon. Doesn't put out until Act 3, or even later in dark justiciar route, even though she had no problem spreading her legs all her life.
>mulatto
>literally bone pearl white
What
Her grandfather is Sarevok Anchev, you moron.
Did you think the neomarxists at Larian would miss the chance to have the token bantu Black person impregnate white women and producing mulatto spawn?
The Nightsong dyke is the most insufferable kind of dyke that exists. The butch bulldyke that skinwalks as a caricature of a man.
The game does not portray dykes like your yuri anime, and you are perfectly aware. There's zero femininity, and there are zero cute girls kissing each other. It's just masculinized dykes being crass and aggressive. Keep coping though.
>MY MATE
>cringe
Bhaal turned her white to redeem her sir
>Female warrior angel demigod is unrealistic and insufferable
Please just go with your dumb frickwitery. I challenge you to point out an issue with how the nightsong acts given she's been locked up and used as a reverse voodoo doll for 100 years.
Well she is gay that's wrong
Her mum doesn't seem to care.
The gods have fallen
>homosexual aasimar that has more testosterone than gale and astarion combined
>after you save her, she tells you to frick off because she wants to fingerbang her girlfriend
>you have to sit through cutscenes of the dykes eye-fricking each other and groping each other.
She is the absolute stereotype of a butch bulldyke. They consciously made her that way, because it ticks several activist boxes. No more gentle and demure goddesses in armor, like old RPGs and high-fantasy literature, that's misogynistic! No more chaste, virginal warrior goddesses like in european mithohistory and european (and japanese, chinese, and korean) literature, that's misogynistic! The warrior demi-goddess needs to be a crass man in a woman's skin! So progressive.
Imagine if the nightsong was male, and the first thing he said once you saved him was "Okay lad, frick off now, because I want to pound my girlfriend's ass and choke her with my phallus." - would it fly? Nah, that would be heckin' sexist and revolting!
> I WILL ENJOY HER BODY
You can literally sell her to a wizard in the city if you hate her that much.
I've done evil playthroughs, moron. Stop deflecting and avoiding addressing the argument.
The only way to save the c**ts at the Last Light inn, get the Selune route for shadowheart, get the best resolution for karlach's arc, and 4(or 5) more quest chains in Act 3, is by saving the bull dyke.
They never mention they are dykes, by the way, and once they reveal it, they give them both an UNKILLABLE buff, so you can't even kill them once the quest is resolved. Funny, that. Isobel didn't have the Selune buff for all of Act 2, and there are several quest routes that have her die, but as soon as she is revealed to be a dyke, the devs give make her immortal! The ONLY characters in the game to be immortal are the two dykes, and a kid that comes to your camp.
Interesting.
is there any way for me to tell the kid to fully frick off it keeps coming back gale keeps giving me shit for it
yeah wait until she gets kidnapped by orin
sorry bud it was la'zel
>The ONLY characters in the game to be immortal are the two dykes,
>ITS NOT WOKE GUYS
and Ganker actually brought this shit amazing
There is a drag queen in the game. He has the most annoying quest in the game as well, hilariously enough.
There is a transsexual in the game. He even wrote a journal about transsexual affirmations and the ills of deadnaming. The voice actor is an obvious transsexual with the stereotypical troony voice.
There is constant patronizing and grandstanding about migration, refugees, and tolerance, throughout the game.
There are SEVERAL homosexual NPCs with homosexual spouses. The Selune dykes. The leader of the Ironhand gnomes. The leader of the Gondian gnomes. The lead scientist of the Gondian Gnomes. Raphael is fricking a male incubus. Astarion found his ex-boyfriend in his personal quest. I could go on.
There are strong, independent female leaders everywhere. They are all sassy, aggressive, cut-offish, and/or hotheaded. They epitomize "toxic masculinity", but it's okay because they are female.
80% of the NPCs you see in paladin/knight armor are charcoal Black folk. I honestly don't know why they are so obsessed with portraying Black folk as paladins, other than the obvious usurpation of european heritage. Every single fantasy game in the last decade (or more) has had Black person knights/paladins. It's eerie.
The game is not just woke. It borders on caricature.
>his ex boyfriend
Thats a weird thing to call his vampire rapist
>There is a transsexual in the game. He even wrote a journal about transsexual affirmations and the ills of deadnaming. The voice actor is an obvious transsexual with the stereotypical troony voice.
ayylmao tell me Ganker why do you defend this game?
because i can throw a big bag of explosives at a boss and one hit him by setting it on fire
Wait does that shit work? You can sove a bunch of crap in a bag and it all goes off?
Yeah but I can kill them all so it's fine.
The activist developers don't care what you do once you've ingested the propaganda. The point of normalization is to expose the subject to the repeated stimulus. The emotional response (in this case killing the NPC) is of no consequence. The next time the stimulus occurs, the emotional response will be milder, and the time after that, even milder, until the stimulus is normalized and the subject is either desensitized and apathetic or ideologically converted.
This is cognitive psychology 102, it's not even apocryphal. And it's obvious once you notice it.
Funny, the stimitulus gets worse and worse every time for me.
Benefits of actually suffering at the hands of a gay, I guess. I'm immune to the bullshit.
>There is a drag queen in the game. He has the most annoying quest in the game as well, hilariously enough.
Borderline a secret, you have to return to the circus after you've already done everything for it to spawn
>There is a transsexual in the game. He even wrote a journal about transsexual affirmations and the ills of deadnaming. The voice actor is an obvious transsexual with the stereotypical troony voice.
Frankly lame and on the nose, the fact is' philosophy tube makes it worse. Could have been an easter egg with them being a philosopher or something.
>There is constant patronizing and grandstanding about migration, refugees, and tolerance, throughout the game.
yeah, helping the helpless is a thing that happens in fantasy stories about good characters
>There are SEVERAL homosexual NPCs with homosexual spouses. The Selune dykes. The leader of the Ironhand gnomes. The leader of the Gondian gnomes. The lead scientist of the Gondian Gnomes. Raphael is fricking a male incubus. Astarion found his ex-boyfriend in his personal quest. I could go on.
Imagine crying about gays in DnD, Imagine crying about sex in the forgotten realms, Imagine crying about the incubus but not the succubus. Imagine being some neo tradcath zoomer monologing about 'mithohisotry' and crying that a vampire is bisexual.

Mizora is immortal too. Technically Ethel is immortal.
How the frick did you come to the conclusion Ethel is immortal? You kill 2 (two) hags throughout the game, and they stay dead.
Mizora is not immortal, she just fricks off if you turn aggro.
The dykes are quite literally immortal. They have a buff that makes them immortal. They just stay there with 1 HP, and there's nothing you can do. You have to suck it up and suffer through the cutscenes they are involved in.
>The dykes are quite literally immortal
You can kill Isobel. You can't kill Nightsong.

>No more gentle and demure goddesses in armor, like old RPGs and high-fantasy literature, that's misogynistic! No more chaste, virginal warrior goddesses
Shar, actual literal Shar shows up in the game wearing a chainmail bikini you gigantic homosexual. Also have you never played a DnD game? Gods frick in the forgotten realms, that's literally the inciting incident of the first two games.
Also, you are so blinded by hate and conspiracies you missed the point of her character. She's a stereotypical paladin, down to being lawful stupid, monologing about smiting evil, jobbing to a sucker punch and her old-timey pseudo-medieval speech.
Tell me to my face you'd be on Ganker in tears over a videogame right now if it was a male demigod who said 'begone knave I must sup of the flesh of my fulsome woman'.
That male demigod you describe would never be allowed to exist in video-games, because it would be considered sexist and misogynistic.
But, it's okay when it's a woman skinwalking as that male demigod you described.

Act 3 is great
I assumed going to the frog people nest to get the tadpole removed was for close to the end of act 1 but I'm starting to think it might be more of a pitstop.
I have no idea why I've even wandered into the underdark. Does going to the frog hangout cut you off from any content or should I go do it so I feel like my exploring has context?
The Underdark is its' own large area, you want to go there for XP and some of the best loot in the game (Adamantine). As far as I know, there is no way to actually cut yourself off from content outside of physically entering Act 2, which if you're just getting to the Githyanki fort in the Mountains, you're not really near yet.

So when do the lewd armor and boob slider mods show up?
Pact of the Blade level 5 extra attack stacks with other level 5 extra attacks. It's pretty good.
But for some reason Mage Armor doesn't stack with Unarmored Defense from Monk or Barbarian. Dumb.
for all the seethe devotion and other paladin classes seem to have caused, Vengeance is ironically the most puritanical and based.

>white hair shadowheart gays didnt dump nightsongs blood on her gods statue and then frick infront of it
worst timeline
Guys I think you might care a bit too much about purity
/v/irgins are so insecure that a fictional character having sexual experiences scare them
there is no value in sharing intimacy with a woman who has done the same with other men
Under normal circumstances it matters to me but for Shadowheart I can make an exception considering her past.
Yeah but unlike X-23 where I want to heal her, there was very clearly an ulterior motive with Shadowheart considering everybody else available so it just feels like a device and I hate it
>ulterior motive
she lost her memories moron did you not play the game?
Not of the character, you illiterate fricking wetback
Even if you feed her the Nedstark mushroom in Act 1, and she regains her memories, she still doesn't put out until Act 3.
Stop coping. It's a device, a vehicle for propaganda. Shadowheart is the only humanoid female in the cast. She is the only conventionally attractive female in the cast. She is the only female in the cast that doesn't act or look like a bulldyke. It's obvious 90% of the playerbase will pursue her romantically.
Thus, she is the perfect vehicle to send a message. And that message was the revelation she was very promiscuous.
The writers used this method a ton in the game. The revelation about the Selune dykes. The revelation about Astarion's homosexual past. The revelation about the fact your guardian, even if you chose it to be female, is a male mindflayer.
The writers use these gotchas, because they are psychological primers. If you've emotionally invested in a character, and it's revealed they have done something that you find morally reprehensible or impermissible, you are more likely to reframe your position or even shift your convictions and principles. Because you were primed beforehand.
>a vehicle for propaganda
Stopped reading right there. have a nice day you schizo frick.
bro sorry to say this,but you are sperging...
>stop noticing thi -- i mean sperging
Mind flayers don't have genders
He was a man before turning into a mindflayer, you moron. He remembers his human life. He is a male.
What is this weird coping, why would you even try to defend the genderswap reveal? Why die on this hill?
The body is genderless. You just make it sound like he's trans.
>You make a female guardian
>The game has several intimate scenes, full of emotion and attachment.
>You embrace the female guardian.
>You can see the inklings of a romance with the female guardian.
>It is revealed it was actually a male mindflayer who was deceiving you, who calls himself the Emperor
>You get a cutscene with his backstory, as a male adventurer.
>You can exposition about his intimate relationship with a woman, in the past.
And if that wasn't enough,
>The writers give you a romance option, AFTER it's been revealed the female guardian was actually a male mindflayer.
It's obvious activist writing, dude. You are embarrassing yourself.
>You were emotionally invested in your female guardian, right?
>You like her, and appreciate her helping you, right?
>You were touched when she showed you her vulnerable side, and you enjoyed embracing her in the astral plane, in that idyllic and romantic setting, right?
>Well, it's actually a male. Do you want to have sex with him?
>What's wrong, I thought you liked your guardian? I thought you appreciated your guardian's personality and traits?
>What's wrong?
No, it was male. It's currently genderless. I don't care about the mind, it's the biological body that counts.
>genderless
>emperor, a masculine term for monarch or dictator
bruh it's a dude, come to terms with it. If you're okay with being in a relationship with a "non-binary" or "genderless".... thing, you're probably a gay.
You don't understand. If someone's body has no reproductive organs, they can't be male or female. That's just not how it works. Pick up a science book.
The impure scares me a LOT.
>Shadowheart leads you on for 40 hours, only allowing you to kiss her
>Meanwhile, all other characters are ready to ingest your semen within mere minutes of meeting you
>Turns out, the chick that was hot-and-cold for 80% of the game, and wouldn't put out, was a massive prostitute
>She had no issue fricking random men, but she needed to take it slow with (you)
There's a reason she was written like this. When you internalize the game is a vehicle for propaganda, everything starts making sense.
>the chick that was hot-and-cold for 80% of the game
but you can frick her almost the same time as Karlach, it's the beginning of the 3rd act
You can frick Karlach in Act 2.
You can frick Selune-route shadowheart early in Act 3.
You can frick Shar-route shadowheart late in act 3.
Shadowheart puts out the latest, out of all the companions. By a huge margin too.
When can I frick the frog if I didn't kiss her ass hard enough before the druid party?
If you absolutely nail it with the approval checks, you can frick her in Act 1. Her romance is 100% tied to approval, and has no bearing on quests or world-state. You get the dialog option "You've been looking at me differently" and that initiates the romance.
Should I go through the underground or mountains?
NOOOOOOOOO
WHERE IS MY TRAD VIRGIN WAITING FOR MARRIAGE 17 YEAR OLD WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE
Why is it always one deranged discord schizo going on about some conspiracy bullshit, when 99% of the "gotcha moments" can easily be explained by:
>It's been part of Sword Coast shit since forever
Or
>Welcome to Swen's magical realm.
This game mindbroke a lot of people, not just game journalists and lazy devs that would after one in construction.
Does doing the act one frog sex with laezel lock you out of Shadowheart later?
NPC.
>every companion is a massive bawd
>including the men
Fricking bleak, lads.
>did the whole underdark
>going back and doing the mountain pass too
yeah im never finishing this
Isn't she some open marriage prostitute while the literal demon is the actual loyal trad wife?
Literal Demon is down for you to frick other people as long as you come back to frick her.
Shadowheart's only down for you to frick other people, after you've fricked her.
No, shadowheart is only open to you fricking other MEN, once you are locked into romance with her.
She is okay with MMF polyamorous relationships, but she will break up with you if you frick any of the female companions (or even a prostitute).
She even jokes about you both doing your best to tackle Helsin in his bear form. She is secretly the most promiscuous and depraved companion of them all.
And Lae'zel is the most traditional.
Lae'zel treats you like a human dildo. She is yet another neomarxist, in vogue stereotype of the strong and independent woman that uses men for pleasure, like glorified sex toys.
You clearly haven't progressed that far if you think that. Lae'zel is into monogamous hand holding and cuddles.
Githyanki culture is at no point presented as good or desirable.
Also, she's an egg-laying species and its implies she as a non broodmare is sterile or at least doesn't ovulate.
It makes perfect sense a race of sterile warriors fighting a forever war would not be a sexually selective as placental females
Gith seem to be the top dogs of the universe, best assimilate.
In every sense of the word, lol.
>WE SNU SNU NOW, OR ELSE!!!!
They basically made shadowheart a trojan horse. They knew from EA that was popular so they made sure to make her the longest romance and to reveal she's actually a huge bawd.
>Literal Demon
Tieflings aren't devils, this is not only common knowledge but a plot point.
yes but.HEAVY SPOILERS
the demon wife died whatever your decision is at the end game
shit its fricked mate.
That's fricking gay, no ways for that to not happen?
Your options are. Obvious spoilers apply, but these are the only good endings
>Turn her into a Squid monster so she doesn't die.
>Romance her and go to hell with her to spend the rest of your life together so she doesn't die.
>If you don't romance her, or your romance bugs and you choose certain choices with Wyll, he'll go with her to hell instead so she doesn't die.
I liked Karlach+ Wyll ending.
Wyll saved his Dad and made amends, returns to hell to pay for hia contract.
Karlach joins him and they ride together ,like Cowboys, into the sunset. Or whatever counts as sunset in hell.
Well, shit. Either it's hell for my Paladin or squidjobs.
>go to hell with her to spend the rest of your life together
What's so bad about this? Sounds like a reasonable price to pay to get with the best girl.
nop,we can only hope that they change it in the definitive edition that can be in 1 or 2 years,but knowing larian i dont think they would...
>astarions homosexual past
You...you mean his present right?
Astarion is so flamboyant, he's hilarious.
Gale on the other hand is an annoying sperg.
>HEY, let's do some magic and sex okay.
>frick off Gale.
>oh, you and %romanceable companion% are a thing? Let's do magic and sex okay?
>frick off Gale.
>I could die any moment, let's do magic and sex, okay?
>frick off Gale.
Guy just can't take a hint. Even Squidward and Halsin took the rejection with stride. Hell, even the Orcgirl was never this annoying.
Bro what the FRICK was that Squidward shit
>Swen-Sama, prease thinku of nippon audience.
Gale, my vampire lord boyfriend said no
What happens if you try to break up with him after you know what, the dialouge I was getting as someone who didn’t romance him was entertaining
He doesnt let you
So the Canon party is Dark Urge, Shadowheart, Laezel, and Astrion right? Every other companion barely has any relevance to any events up until Act 3.
Shadowheart only looks good in fanart
>Shar has fallen
>attacks 6 times

>Stealth attack + Drow poison dual attack
>Nothing personal Hide back into shadows (even in daylight) to dash towards next high value target to put down/disable
But no, legit action economy for Fighter/Monk is pretty silly and Rouge's more or less doing what it can to play catch up via items. Seeing even bosses roll like 5-6 saving throws doing a single attack change though is great. Also getting 30+'s doing decisive rolls is never not funny.
>human male fighter
Sorry sonny, I think you meant to say Dwarf Male Fighter
Recommendations for a monk? I assume they arent as good as other martials but I want to see one in action anyway.
Tavern Brawler multiclass is one of the strongest builds.
Doesnt that build need 2 feats, IE 8 levels?
>Steel Watcher in the city drops a bread crumb that you can go to the foundry and fix Karlach's heart
>but you actually can't fix her heart at all
>the "good" Karlach ending is both of you going to hell forever so she doesn't explode
Frick you Larian
my shadowcute
Yeah I've got her with the blood of lathander too. Make her great
>give Shadowqt Blood of Lathander.
>Respec her Warcleric after purification.
>give her rings, boots and hands that enhance dmg /attack to illiminated targets.
>Enter Iron throne.
>hasted and freedom of movement shadowheart blows up the whole dungeon in two turns.
Praise the light, fishfrickers.
Where'd you find the items that give you bonuses for illuminated creatures? I got pic related and helm of baulderan last night
Those are all green/blue rings,amulets, boots and gloves from act 1 &2.
Easy to overlook or aell, but I am a hoarder and I send every green+ item to the stash.
Can Tav is clearly the default Dragonborn Dark Urge though.
damn pickpocketing is OP as frick
i fricking hate the homosexual vampire but he's a moneymaker
