I picked Black Dragonborn. The acid resistance was useful for like one fight and never really used the acid breath either. Could have picked better for my rogue but at least he looked cool.
because when you are in dialogue you have to roll all your own dialogue checks instead of getting your party to roll them, so most people play as the face character which leads to 4 of the top 5 most played classes being the 4 charisma based ones. To make matters worse, most of the noncharisma based proficiencies and skills can be done pretty easily out of combat by someone else for free.
Shart is the worst origin character for a face, she just has charm person and enhanced abilities so to play as her you need to respec of use spell slots
Astarian has deception, performance and persuasion proficiencies
Gale has +1 cha and persuasion and can get friends and charm person easily
Lae'zel has astral knowledge and intimidation
wyll is +3 cha, intimidation and persuasion and can get friends at level 4 (and charm person, but idk why you would want that with 2 spell slots)
Karlach has intimidation, Thaumaturgy which gives advantage on intimidation and performance for free and in general it seems like barbarians get a lot of "intimidation advantage reason barbarian" options
I wouldn't even say that about Shadowheart.
Of the core 6 she is the best at Insight, which does matter in a lot of dialogues. She is also the best at Animal Handling and Medicine, which do show up a decent amount.
It's difficult to be 'bad' as a face. This game just has so many options.

More like furries. Everyone I played 4E with who selected dragonborn was a furfag or back then a “scalie” because apparently there was some gay divide
No, they're not. And frankly that is a dogshit bonus compared to the other racial abilities. If you weren't a complete casual you'd know humans were robbed of their bonus feat and their skill bonuses, which is an epically retarded design choice considering how incredibly overpowered things like half-orc endurance and halfling luck are.
>one skill proficiency is equivalent to advantage on all saving throws, free darkvision, spell like abilities, or all the other op shit
embarrassing post
There is no darkvision penalty in the game you gay. The game shits out magic items from the get go minimizing most racial abilities, and that free skill makes your autistic fighter into a charismatic motherfucker.
Retarded. Carry capacity is made redundant by "Send to camp". The "extra" proficiency isn't even extra as other races get bonus proficiencies too, you just get to pick what it is in the case of humans
I was hesitant to play a gnome, but went for it anyway, and a lots of situation looked pretty hilaruous (especially all karlach sex scenes lol) and surprisingly badass
It's a chud meme that elves are all massive cock hungry sluts and a chud wants to be that more than anything else in the world so of course they pick the elf.
forgot to include average male elf that looks like a twink, by comparison
What race does he play?
wizard. he uses all of his spell slots every fight, no matter how trivial it is, then long rests. goes and brags how OP mages are even though he's just abusing game mechanics, refuses to admit that, in reality, they suck all the way into the mid-game.
Dragonborn actually look cool as fuck in this game. It's a federal crime that there are literally a handful of them in the NPC list. I genuinely didn't see a single one until the gold one that runs the blacksmith shop in act 3.
No... they look ridiculous and are gay as a hell. Scalie fucks are deranged and no scale fucker would even be remotely humanoid in body plan or anatomy. It's an insult to herpetologists everywhere. Stop being some fetishizing furry freak, you fuck. Absolutely dumbest race, possibly only topped by egg laying giths with pee pees and vagenes and all the males look like crack addicts.
It's amazing that humans are still that high considering how thoroughly Larian gutted them. They can go fuck themselves for doing that; their gay little social engineering experiment utterly failed
It wore off on Shadowheart though, which is the weird thing. I will check the mummy for remover though cause while it's funny on Astarion, it looks awful on Minthara.

You have to buy a new set of facepaint, re-apply it to the character with stuck paint, then have them initiate a long rest. You'll have to do a long rest each for every single companion with stuck paint. Annoying fucking glitch but that's the workaround.
They deliberately made humans shit to dissuade people from making human characters. Or did you forget that humans were the number 1 popular choice before they "fixed" their game?
>to dissuade people from making human characters
Well they completely failed in that regard—humans are only marginally less popular than half-elves, who are themselves the second most humanoid race. What absolute clowns Larian are
I'm surprised human is as high as it is, considering variant human wasn't an option, +1 to all stats is kinda shit, and no darkvision. Like I get the whole gigachad white human fighter meme but I figured more people would be making their choices based off stats and features.
>I figured more people would be making their choices based off stats and features
If that were the case every rogue would be a deep gnome. No one wants to play joke/freak races though
Well I didn't mean entirely min-maxed, though. My rogue is a half-orc and it may not be the most optimal choice but I get more out of relentless endurance and savage attacker (or whatever it's called) than I would from anything human has.
what does darkvision even do? it doesnt even light up the dark areas of the game. once i started using the light cantrip on myself, i can never go back. never again squint my eyes in a video game
uhhh I haven't used a non-darkvision race in BG3 to say exactly what Larian has done with it... in TTG everyone loves darkvision races because they don't want to roleplay stumbling around in the dark or fumbling with torches, but I think there are also mechanical rules that also come into play about attacking enemies you can't see because they're in darkness.
Every race gets +2 +1 now.
Oh really? Human too? That's fucking stupid, TCE rules for character creation are so sovlless.
half-orc and rogue makes complete sense. they are outcasts in every society. your complaint is irrational
He's probably just thinking about how the stereotypical rogue is a sneaky shadow in the night and half-orcs are big burly heavies that stand out like a sore thumb. I play mine like a thug who beats people up and takes their lunch money though and I think it's great.
Yeah darkvision does nothing in the game. It doesnt give disadvantage anymore. I think my game bugged out once and it applied disadvantage, but naw its useless in game. For most of act 2 you need a torch/light anyways.
>No one wants to play joke/freak races though
Dragonborn and Thieflings beg to differ. >inb4 "They're neither joke nor freak races".
Both are infinitely more of a freak race than Deep Gnomes and both are jokes due to the sorts of people they attract.
NTA, and I severely dislike tieflings - both how they look in the game, aswell as the kind of people that play them, but Gnomes look hilariously awful in this game.
>Gnomes look awful
Seems pretty accurate then? As an idea they are fuck ugly. All their art in player handbooks and stuff like that is ugly. Don't know what you're trying to say.
Just that people don't play them because they look ugly. That's always going to be a factor. And because they look ugly *and* like a joke, they have less players than Tiefling and Dragonborn. The proportions are totally fucked.

Anon, I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I'm just saying that they're not played often because of that. That's all.

You'll notice the lighting isn't quite as dark if you switch between a companion that has Darkvision and one that doesn't. It rarely ever affects combat though.
you don't even get a +1 to everything. Every race gets a +1 and +2 to a stat of their choice. All humans get is an extra proficiency they can pick, which a lot of other races get a 5th proficiency anyway, extra carrying weight, which is useless, and light armor, shield and polearm proficiencies. Most classes who want polearms already have polearm access, there are way more good robes for wizards making the light armor kinda eh (though the shield are free +2/+3 ac) and the magical polearms aside from like one glave are kinda shit compared to the magic swords and bows you get for being an elf
>these posts about humans getting nerfed out of spite
I didn't buy this yet. How hard is it to just mod it and make humans better? It doesn't excuse dev gayry but if I can just fix it myself then it's a non issue for me.
Humans aren't nerfed, they're standard 5e humans. The thing is standard 5e human sucks and most people go for the variant human option (starts with a free feat) which isn't available in BG3.
they got rid of the +1+2 based on race. which is gay

You can look up stuff online, basically they gave the creator stuff to a pozzed woman, who found it bad when gamers made their own waifu/self insert, so we end up with this.
I almost always play dwarves, and they made the duergar completely busted. Maybe because the game doesn't tell you what racial abilities you get except at level 1, people don't realize...
To increase your odds of succeeding? It's not any different from a typical RPG, turn based or otherwise. Fallout? Fire Emblem? Any turn based JRPG with a chance to miss? This is not a new thing.
Bullshit I miss and roll low damage numbers all the time in this game compared to every other RPG and JRPG. This happens no where near as often with any of the games you mentioned.
In this game I have to stack 3 levels of advantages to at least have a 75% chance to miss.
I didn't think that halflings would be THAT rare. Halfling Luck is pretty good. I just wanted to make a cute e-boi in order to get beast fucked by Halsin.
Gays and sexual deviants pick half elf because it’s human but better, elf because it’s the prettiest, and tiefling because they’re the bad sexy demons.
I have a player in my dnd game who is a tiefling that uses half elf stats because he wants to be a bisexual horny girl who can still do all the things elves can.
If I have advantage on int saving throw does that mean I have advantage on offensive cantrips and spells or just an advantage while I'm saving against something? This is in reference to gnome cunning.
Im always a human (or high elf) in any fantasy game. I wanted to do something "different", so while a Drow was my first choice, I went for DragonBorn. Its nice although in retrospective I kinda wished I picked Half Orc
I haven't picked this game up yet. Would playing as a Dragonborn, Tiefling, or Half-Orc Bard be a bad idea?
Half Orc Barbarians get absolutely retarded 4 dice criticals that melt anything even if you don't get even sillier with Savage Attacker and Great Weapon Master
>>that bro that plays a fantasy game to roleplay as the same loser they're irl
I ain't a loser, I'm cool. You know what's not cool? Reality.
I don't play games to be someone else, I LOVE myself, I WANT to be myself, I just don't want to be in this boring ass reality.
I want OTHERS to be wacky ass goofy ass ugly ass motherfuckers like yourself while I go on adventures with hot chicks and monster bros (and funny fag elves).
>skill
save scumming makes it 100% pointless >carry weight
You can literally just send whatever back to your camp at any time or instantly teleport it to another character no matter where they are
The game is so easy that there is absolutely no need to minmax your race choice and class combo. Bard is also a very strong class and none of those races would do anything to impact its performance significantly one way or another. Just pick the race you want to RP as or that you think looks cool. Like I saw a guy posting about a black dragonborn rogue, not at all a synergistic choice, but it doesn't impact your ability to complete the game at all and it looked really cool.
Nice. I remember back in High School I ran a Half-Orc Bard inspired by that old, old Los Tiburon /tg/ screencap. Good times even when everybody else at the table was varying degrees of Chaotic Neutral.
Bard is very strong. Being able to buff martial characters like Barbarian is probably the best party configuration in the game. Not to mention your charisma stat to dominate conversations.
Im always a human (or high elf) in any fantasy game. I wanted to do something "different", so while a Drow was my first choice, I went for DragonBorn. Its nice although in retrospective I kinda wished I picked Half Orc
But races barely matter anyway. I keep changing classes, I started as a Bard (I keep returning to it though).
You can be whatever you want after you reach certain point of the game, so I was a DragonBorn Bard and I was good, charisma checks are easy
I played for like 3 or 4 hours, I picked human male paladin, bashed that fucking vampires skull in instantly, went to some cave where 2 people were abusing a goblin, then I bashed their head in for picking on the weak and I bashed the goblins head in aswell. Then I dropped the game.
>I'm chimpin out where My S OYLANT at .
Shut the fuck gay people will still play humans you FUCKIN' gay and its still the second popular race to Play while you keep crying like a Bitch on SHIT-CHAN .
Apparently you can respect throughout the campaign. When doing so with the main character, does it reset to true zero? Like can you even change race and starting background?
people refuse to RP in an RPG and instead go for straight min-maxing because one race has slightly better racials in an already easy game
blows my fucking mind how people can't just make a fantasy character and experiment with builds but instead load the game and within 5 seconds google >best builds in BG3
is there a race class that doesn't feel like hitting people with nerf bats and lighter burns? I feel like HP is so high that it makes battles boring outside of the beginning of the game.
>Half-elf
Surprised They are number one but it makes sense >Human
Thought they will be number One considering people want to play as themselves especially on the first playthrough >Elf
It makes sense >Dragonborn
For how lacking in a lot of departments but have a better customization Then all races in the game surprised they are higher then the freaking tieflings. >tieflings

>hey guys hey guys HEY GUYS >WHAT IF >NO SERIOUSLY WHAT IF >WE REMOVE HUMAN'S EXTRA FEAT >OKAY YEAH >AND THEN WE JUST GIVE IT 25% EXTRA CARRYING CAPACITY >GENIUS, SHIP IT
Honestly, it's a shocker that human isn't further down. It's genuinely the second worst race in the game - only Dragonborn is worse.
Also intensely funny that Gith are so far down despite being utterly busted. They're just that ugly, I suppose.
Yes, they did. Larian has gone out of their way to display their seething for people that play humans. There's hardly any humans in the game to begin with, and no real "human" dialogue options. It's actually kind of hilarious, Baldur's Gate is more populated by dwarves and gnomes and tieflings.
Human make sense considering a lot of newfags are playing the game it maybe there first game in this kind of genre so they want to play as themselves dragonborn numbers are the surprise one here maybe a lot of furry fags Play This game or Maybe a second playthrough where you doing an "evil" run.
Honestly? Dragonborn actually look pretty good, and they have very solid customization options. That's probably why they're so high. You'll notice that a lot of races that get downright insane shit (Dwarves, Gith, Gnomes) are very low just because they look bad.
It's like they turned Baldurs Gate (city) into modern day Londanistan
If you want a culture shock, replay NWN2. I've done it recently, and it's day and night how much more sensibly populated the city is. You've got some half-elves around, there's a half-orc, and a couple elves, but it's mainly humans. Aasimar and Tieflings are very rare (as they should be), and dwarves don't just randomly leave their holds en-masse to become shopkeepers. Seeing a kobold merchant is actually a surprise, instead of it being a "Well yeah of course".
Legitimately fuck WOTC and fuck people that make city populations make zero sense.
half elves are literally the same as humans, except they get dark vision, can't get charmed or put to sleep and get to pick a racial bonus like a cantrip vs humans just get 1 more skill proficiency
regular knife ears get dark vision, cant be put to sleep or charmed, proficiency in perception (so 5 proficiencies like humans), arguably a better list of weapon proficiencies since most short swords and long and short bows have good shit attached to them and a cantrip or +movement and stealth.
The 2 big issues are the +2/+1 stats aren't tied to race which kills one of the big reasons to pick a race and the game just fucking showers you with with magic items making it so the light armor, shield, and polearms humans get aren't that great compared to other magic items and if you play something like fighter you get everything the humans get anyway
So what's probably the most evil bad guy class I could make? Would it even be remotely worth it to subclass an oathbreaker paladin into a necromancer wizard if they have the same spells? The necromancy book is basically better than their summons anyways.
How the fuck does bardic inspiration work? Went college of Valor and whenever I inspire someone their next attack doesn't always use it. Is that a bug or am I missing something?
This pretty much tracks with the data we have. The three most popular D&D races are Human, Elf, Half-Elf and together make up ~52.1% of all D&D characters.
The next three are Dwarf, Dragonborn and Tiefling so really the only change is Half-Elf goes from 3rd to 1st and dwarf goes from 4th to 8th.
Drow are also a subrace of elf in the base game and not their own race. >tl:dr
People want to play elves primarily because they're often described as just Human+ and the next biggest camp is people that want to play Human for relatability.
Yeah rogue is boring as fuck. It's designed for multiclass and they removed all functionality from pure rogue.
My recommendation? Ditch it after level 3. The only "fun" thing is double hand crossbows and its a pretty linear playstyle. Try going shadow monk/thief rogue or gloomstalker ranger/assassin rogue. They're fun and powerful and still feel "rogueish" with all the stealth elements.
That's just a matter of popularity. DOS2 Lizards were miles better, he is right about that. They also had a distinct culture.
Larian's homebrew is overall superior to Faerun.

they are fugly is what im saying, look at dos2 lizards and weep at what they've taken from us
people give the db shit for just being humans with lizard masks...but i disagree. It's hard to make 3D scalies look good and I think they did a great job
The dragonborn facial animations are fluid and sell the emotion of the dumb lizards. Actual reptiles irl are completely emotionless so making a race of emotive lizards was a job well done in not just making them look like rubber masks.
Yeah they aren't as wild and monster-like as the divinity lizard men but the camera focus is completely different in these two games.
Just finished the game for the first time on tactician, wasn't that bad difficulty wise. I think I got way too much mileage out of hasting Lae'zel. Very good game otherwise.
Ended with me going to hell with Karlach, I guess The repair guy died in Act 2 for me.
actually I didn't post him because I don't want to out myself, plus you will pretend he looks ugly to avoid conceding that you are wrong and a retard.
Larian made a blog post where they pointed out that a convergence of tens of thousands of early access players all made a handsome human male. You are a significantly below the average intelligence. Reflect on that.
Karlack? Beheaded
Wyll? Burnt him to a crisp when he turned on me for joining the drussy
Shadowheart? Based and justicar pilled, was her lover for the first half of the game but dumped her for that drussy once it became available
Uldrich powers? I got a brain entirely full of tadpoles bro
Gale? Left him in the portal rofl, I already have a human wizard I don't need fuken two, boy can chill in his portal
Astarion? Vampire god bro, fuck those 4000 fiends, lets get that super bite
Druids and tieflings? Lmao get fucked
Last light inn? kidnapped that girl, to gain favor, sheild broke, entire inn succumb to darkness, killed all its inhabitants, still kept whatsherface but she basically sits it out
Halsin? Killed him in his fucken cage, boy came after those cute goblins
Goblins? Saved em all bro, goblins are fucken CUTE
why would a elf even fuck a human
like a human wouldn't fuck a shortstack's goblin's brains out and marry them because they're going to die in like 10 years anyway
Never played bg3. It's like DnD 5e right? Assuming bg3 doesn't have varient human like 5e, there are other races with better abilities than standard humans.
It's mostly 5e with some changes it to make it work better in a video game, like all the martials having access to weapon abilities (I don't think 5e has that by default IIRC)
How so? None of the level 10 subclass features are impactful, a third attack is super easy to multiclass a similar or better option and has the opportunity cost of having to go 11 pure and 12 literally just another feat which is obtainable with a multiclass.
>a third attack is super easy to multiclass a similar or better option
There are literally only 2 other ways to get it, the warlock pact of the blade exploit or druid wildshape multiattack.
Don't say that it's "super easy" that's a load of bullshit. Because monks and rogues aren't nearly as good with haste stacking.
Fighter is actually the strongest singular class in the entire game. Fighter 12 is easily top 4 or top 5 builds. I don't know why you are trying to deny that, it's weird and cringe.
He can't, extra attack does not stack.
What I don't understand is where the sense of confidence comes with these retards. They type out a long post with a supreme sense of authority over something that is not true. Not even close to true. Why? For what fucking purpose? Is it that difficult to add "I think" or "I feel" or a question mark? Why are they always selling? It's so fucking annoying.

So I picked half elf but my intention was to be a twink human.
Human still is the best.
O
Get shields with casters also +1 skill for mc and more carry capacity for hoarding. Human is literally made for the main character
Human proficiencies are utterly useless unless you’re a casterfag

Half elves look better, simple as.
Humans didn't get bonus feat so everyone picked human with dark vision.
HalfElf has all the advantages worth a shit of both Human and Elf, so why not
Dragonborn are the best for paladin, which is the most popular class. Retards can’t match racial abilities and class abilities apparently
Nah, that would be Gold Dwarf, but both are ugly races no one wants to play with.
>dragonborn
>ugly
if you aren't blind, yes
>Dwarves
>Ugly
Honestly the only manlet race which is probably eternally fucked in terms of face options are Halflings.
It isn't the faces that look awful on dwarves, it's everything else. Their proportions are fucked, their necks look weird as hell
Halflings have way better faces than Humans. Better than Gnomes as well.
>cleave Dragonborn and Hill Dwarf in half with triple crit Smite
Half Orc chad here, what's that again?
>dwarf
>ugly
nah, that would be Halflings looking like midget caricatures instead of LotR small humans
elf just rapes, in solasta 4x wood/high/half elf was meta so everyone has darkvision, though dwarf is fine too
I picked Black Dragonborn. The acid resistance was useful for like one fight and never really used the acid breath either. Could have picked better for my rogue but at least he looked cool.
Picked a blue dragonborn.
Electric breathe comes in handy after I use sleet storm and that ice melts.
Can electrocute entire groups of enemies.
Human only gets bonus carry weight, there's no reason to take them over Half-elf
Bonus carry weight + tavern brawler is the best way to play the game
I feel like putting a bottomless pit in every room was a terrible design choice.
Elves are whiter than humans.
The average elf has pale yellowish chink skin
short kings...
all the default presets are hideous to sneak passed the blackrock commissars
Larian did everything in their power to stop people from playing Human Fighters.
>fighter
You mean paladin? Fighters aren’t even in the top 3 most selected classes
Larian nerfs fighters by forcing (you) to roll your own persuasion check, which is why charisma based class are on the top of the most picked classes.
because when you are in dialogue you have to roll all your own dialogue checks instead of getting your party to roll them, so most people play as the face character which leads to 4 of the top 5 most played classes being the 4 charisma based ones. To make matters worse, most of the noncharisma based proficiencies and skills can be done pretty easily out of combat by someone else for free.
Shart is the worst origin character for a face, she just has charm person and enhanced abilities so to play as her you need to respec of use spell slots
Astarian has deception, performance and persuasion proficiencies
Gale has +1 cha and persuasion and can get friends and charm person easily
Lae'zel has astral knowledge and intimidation
wyll is +3 cha, intimidation and persuasion and can get friends at level 4 (and charm person, but idk why you would want that with 2 spell slots)
Karlach has intimidation, Thaumaturgy which gives advantage on intimidation and performance for free and in general it seems like barbarians get a lot of "intimidation advantage reason barbarian" options
I wouldn't even say that about Shadowheart.
Of the core 6 she is the best at Insight, which does matter in a lot of dialogues. She is also the best at Animal Handling and Medicine, which do show up a decent amount.
It's difficult to be 'bad' as a face. This game just has so many options.
>Gith bros...not like this
>gith is by far the most efficient race
>not picked because bat nose
I am a gith supremacist
for me it's the noodle arms, I'm suppose to believe these dyel's are a warrior people?
On one hand I’m glad Larian went with the lore. On the other hand they are so damn ugly and look like they’re starving or dying of AIDS

>tough guy whos insecure about playing dnd race
More like furries. Everyone I played 4E with who selected dragonborn was a furfag or back then a “scalie” because apparently there was some gay divide
i forgot dragonborns. yes that goes between self insert race and normie with an edge races
>Joke race has the biggest tits
Halfling bros. We won!
>just checked. he wasnt kidding
holy shit, i play exclusively halfling from now on
tieflings are the chud race
>Leaf Lovers
which one is the most fucked by human males?
Dragonborn is much higher than I expected
it's because the default human is a moron while default elf is white
They nerfed human into the fucking ground specifically because they were salty that it was most picked.
It's pretty hilarious.
Humans are really great though. The carry capacity is fantastic. You also get a free skill which is pretty great for non skill monkey classes.
No, they're not. And frankly that is a dogshit bonus compared to the other racial abilities. If you weren't a complete casual you'd know humans were robbed of their bonus feat and their skill bonuses, which is an epically retarded design choice considering how incredibly overpowered things like half-orc endurance and halfling luck are.
holy fuck, i never even bothered to look at other races before. humans are such dogshit. i can never play human again.
Variant Humans in 5e were handy with the extra feat, but they aren't in BG3 for whatever reason.
Larian wanted people to play freak races
>one skill proficiency is equivalent to advantage on all saving throws, free darkvision, spell like abilities, or all the other op shit
embarrassing post
There is no darkvision penalty in the game you gay. The game shits out magic items from the get go minimizing most racial abilities, and that free skill makes your autistic fighter into a charismatic motherfucker.
Retarded. Carry capacity is made redundant by "Send to camp". The "extra" proficiency isn't even extra as other races get bonus proficiencies too, you just get to pick what it is in the case of humans
dwarfbros? we are a dying breed
ORC PRIDE WORLDWIDE
I was hesitant to play a gnome, but went for it anyway, and a lots of situation looked pretty hilaruous (especially all karlach sex scenes lol) and surprisingly badass
It's a chud meme that elves are all massive cock hungry sluts and a chud wants to be that more than anything else in the world so of course they pick the elf.
How do you know so much about trannies?
Because you guys post your deranged bullshit here all day long.
You're the only one posting deranged bullshit ITT.
You're not a woman. You never will be one. Picking elf in BG3 certainly doesn't make you one. Lesbians don't exist.
>You're not a woman. You never will be one.
Thank god. Now meds.
Regardless you're brown.
No anon it sounds like he is repeating things other people post.
Why do you sound so aggressive all of a sudden?
the chud race is tiefling
I picked half elf because it had the best looking faces
I’m not surprised dragonborn are so high with larian making them pure furry b8
I have never had so many commission requests for scalie shit before this game…. Filled up and closed for the rest of this year.
God I wish I could draw…
Well get to it so you can get over the "Why do I suck at art" feeling, since that phase never ends.
Without the tail, I just see a human with dinosaur head, almost something out of tokusatsu. It's cool.
Larian groomed me into becoming a furfag with durge. Not cool
Half elves are better than base human, that’s why they made human (variant) so there’s some competition in power gamer circles
Humans fear the Elven bull.
my half elf looks like this
look at this absolute chad
Elves are pussies. Come fight me.
>knife ear

forgot to include average male elf that looks like a twink, by comparison
wizard. he uses all of his spell slots every fight, no matter how trivial it is, then long rests. goes and brags how OP mages are even though he's just abusing game mechanics, refuses to admit that, in reality, they suck all the way into the mid-game.
He looks like a special needs warrior.

>Here's 6 preset faces
get fucked, of course Half-elf is the most popular..
here's your humans
that's a redguard
The only dragonborn needed
Dragonborn actually look cool as fuck in this game. It's a federal crime that there are literally a handful of them in the NPC list. I genuinely didn't see a single one until the gold one that runs the blacksmith shop in act 3.
That smithy merchant dragonborn girl was cute. I would have liked a few more but it's also good that they're rare, I suppose.
No... they look ridiculous and are gay as a hell. Scalie fucks are deranged and no scale fucker would even be remotely humanoid in body plan or anatomy. It's an insult to herpetologists everywhere. Stop being some fetishizing furry freak, you fuck. Absolutely dumbest race, possibly only topped by egg laying giths with pee pees and vagenes and all the males look like crack addicts.
E6 posts by tag disagrees with you
They look really great. They would look better with lizard feet and claws, but they still look good
I don’t care I will continue staring longingly at male durge with the buff mod.
My blue dragonborn mogs the redguard humans. He looks cool and is perpetually smug looking
What race does he play?
Human Paladin, then ragequits when he immediately falls after slaughtering innocents.
I did not ragequit, I just kept playing as an oathbreaker.
White male human wizard or fighter(no multiclassing) on the hardest difficulty and the default good route.
It's amazing that humans are still that high considering how thoroughly Larian gutted them. They can go fuck themselves for doing that; their gay little social engineering experiment utterly failed
>No one wants to be a manlet, savage or ugly.
>Everyone wants to be elegant, default or powerful.
Seems to me everyone needs to check their biases.
halfling actually more popular than the gyth. I'll admit I am surprised by that.
Male Gyths look like fucking Martian Manhunter, of course no one is picking it
playing as a dwarf bard was unexpected kino
Half orcs are a cheat code. Maybe it's bugged or something idk but the 1hp thing procs every single time, not just once/rest.
Plus you get to tower over everybody in cutscenes, so when an npc threatens you its like pic related. Pretty fun ngl
>nobody wants to play the ugly frogs
Fucking knew it, they are a mistake, even wasted a waifu slot too
Should have been goblins in that spot.
Just make Lae'zel a companion but gith not a playable race.
Is there a mod that fixes the egregious human nerf?
Yes. It’s not very popular, so be prepared to dig
https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/875
as it is, base human is ridiculously weak. they even lose to slave races like gnome or githyanki
HAHAHA, I JUST NUKED THE STEEL FACTORY! NOW I'M GONNA FREE WHEEL IT OUTTA HERE!
Is that Hitler with a white bearded female drow?
Clown makeup drow
Minthara with clown makeup. I've rested 4 times since I went to the circus. It won't go away on her or Astarion.
You have to buy the paint remover from the mummy girl at the circus.
It wore off on Shadowheart though, which is the weird thing. I will check the mummy for remover though cause while it's funny on Astarion, it looks awful on Minthara.
You have to buy a new set of facepaint, re-apply it to the character with stuck paint, then have them initiate a long rest. You'll have to do a long rest each for every single companion with stuck paint. Annoying fucking glitch but that's the workaround.
>hitler flees the steel hall pusch circa 1929
the stupidly oversized halberd is just the cherry on top
>one of the best weapons in the game
>cannot be hidden in cutscenes
They were cruel to do it.
Variant human isn't in the game so basically they are useless
They deliberately made humans shit to dissuade people from making human characters. Or did you forget that humans were the number 1 popular choice before they "fixed" their game?
>to dissuade people from making human characters
Well they completely failed in that regard—humans are only marginally less popular than half-elves, who are themselves the second most humanoid race. What absolute clowns Larian are
yeah half elves are basically just humans, humans absolutely btfo in terms of preference. As it should be.
They made humans shit because getting a feat at level 1 is fucking retarded. If they had variant human no one would use any other race.
All human faces are ugly
Half elves are best looking
I'm surprised human is as high as it is, considering variant human wasn't an option, +1 to all stats is kinda shit, and no darkvision. Like I get the whole gigachad white human fighter meme but I figured more people would be making their choices based off stats and features.
So did I anon. That hope went out the window when it went “viral” though
>I figured more people would be making their choices based off stats and features
If that were the case every rogue would be a deep gnome. No one wants to play joke/freak races though
Frankly if you willingly play a deep gnome in singleplayer you have a mental illness.
It triggers my autism when I join my friends games though. They are half orc and dragonborn rogues
>half orc and dragonborn rogues
That's too far for me. Class should be race-restricted
half-orc and rogue makes complete sense. they are outcasts in every society. your complaint is irrational
They're too big and dumb
So...criminals?
Grunts, lackeys, henchmen, but not the brains of criminal operations. Important to remember that rogue saving throw proficienies are DEX and INT
*takes a level 1 fighter dip*
Okay my rogue is now a big dumb goon who shivs people in the ribs for pocket change.
Yeah that's better
Well I didn't mean entirely min-maxed, though. My rogue is a half-orc and it may not be the most optimal choice but I get more out of relentless endurance and savage attacker (or whatever it's called) than I would from anything human has.
uhhh I haven't used a non-darkvision race in BG3 to say exactly what Larian has done with it... in TTG everyone loves darkvision races because they don't want to roleplay stumbling around in the dark or fumbling with torches, but I think there are also mechanical rules that also come into play about attacking enemies you can't see because they're in darkness.
Oh really? Human too? That's fucking stupid, TCE rules for character creation are so sovlless.
He's probably just thinking about how the stereotypical rogue is a sneaky shadow in the night and half-orcs are big burly heavies that stand out like a sore thumb. I play mine like a thug who beats people up and takes their lunch money though and I think it's great.
yeah, rogues don't have to be stealth monkeys.
thats actually one of the more boring forms of rogue.
organised crime isn't made up of cat burglars.
Yeah darkvision does nothing in the game. It doesnt give disadvantage anymore. I think my game bugged out once and it applied disadvantage, but naw its useless in game. For most of act 2 you need a torch/light anyways.
You can only play as the stereotypical rogue with the sub classes available though.
>No one wants to play joke/freak races though
Dragonborn and Thieflings beg to differ.
>inb4 "They're neither joke nor freak races".
Both are infinitely more of a freak race than Deep Gnomes and both are jokes due to the sorts of people they attract.
NTA, and I severely dislike tieflings - both how they look in the game, aswell as the kind of people that play them, but Gnomes look hilariously awful in this game.
>Gnomes look awful
Seems pretty accurate then? As an idea they are fuck ugly. All their art in player handbooks and stuff like that is ugly. Don't know what you're trying to say.
Just that people don't play them because they look ugly. That's always going to be a factor. And because they look ugly *and* like a joke, they have less players than Tiefling and Dragonborn. The proportions are totally fucked.
>And because they look ugly *and* like a joke
They're fucking GNOMES dude.
I don't know what you wanted, but it is literally impossible to make a fucking garden ornament look heroic. Larian did a spot on job with them frankly.
Anon, I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I'm just saying that they're not played often because of that. That's all.
Deep gnome is only a cool race when you paint em green and rp a goblin instead
what does darkvision even do? it doesnt even light up the dark areas of the game. once i started using the light cantrip on myself, i can never go back. never again squint my eyes in a video game
You'll notice the lighting isn't quite as dark if you switch between a companion that has Darkvision and one that doesn't. It rarely ever affects combat though.
You get penalties on attack rolls and such.
> it doesnt even light up the dark areas of the game
If you mean visually then yes it does.
The stats and features are fucking meaningless
Every race gets +2 +1 now.
you don't even get a +1 to everything. Every race gets a +1 and +2 to a stat of their choice. All humans get is an extra proficiency they can pick, which a lot of other races get a 5th proficiency anyway, extra carrying weight, which is useless, and light armor, shield and polearm proficiencies. Most classes who want polearms already have polearm access, there are way more good robes for wizards making the light armor kinda eh (though the shield are free +2/+3 ac) and the magical polearms aside from like one glave are kinda shit compared to the magic swords and bows you get for being an elf
>these posts about humans getting nerfed out of spite
I didn't buy this yet. How hard is it to just mod it and make humans better? It doesn't excuse dev gayry but if I can just fix it myself then it's a non issue for me.
It takes about 30 seconds to mod it.
Humans aren't nerfed, they're standard 5e humans. The thing is standard 5e human sucks and most people go for the variant human option (starts with a free feat) which isn't available in BG3.
they got rid of the +1+2 based on race. which is gay
super easy to do
Given popular politics it's no surprise nobody wants to play as a human.
You can look up stuff online, basically they gave the creator stuff to a pozzed woman, who found it bad when gamers made their own waifu/self insert, so we end up with this.
Good DMs won’t allow self inserts either. It’s cringe
Who the fuck doesn't pick Tiefling? Are you guys fucking gay and also retarded?
literally every tiefling player is a chud
Imagine being a pathetic subhuman that picks a race based on stat efficiency instead of roleplaying
>Imagine being a pathetic subhuman that picks a race based on stat efficiency instead of aesthetics
that's why I picked Half Elf, so i could get an Elf with a beard
I almost always play dwarves, and they made the duergar completely busted. Maybe because the game doesn't tell you what racial abilities you get except at level 1, people don't realize...
>The manager has been spoken to
Free Stealth on no cooldown was absolutely busted for me. So many puzzles I just completely avoided by walking by in perma stealth.
>Roll a dice to hit
>Roll a dice to decide damage
>Roll a dice to Persuade/Intimidate
Fuck is the point of my stats again?
Your stats influence how well you can roll
To increase your odds of succeeding? It's not any different from a typical RPG, turn based or otherwise. Fallout? Fire Emblem? Any turn based JRPG with a chance to miss? This is not a new thing.
Bullshit I miss and roll low damage numbers all the time in this game compared to every other RPG and JRPG. This happens no where near as often with any of the games you mentioned.
In this game I have to stack 3 levels of advantages to at least have a 75% chance to miss.
>I have to stack 3 levels of advantages
Anon...
Sounds like you're doing something wrong. Skill issue, in sum
I always see people complain about dice rolls and I have no real issue.
Me neither, the mix of chance and stats is fun. If people have an issue with it they can just save scum.
The dice stats impact your dice roll bonuses. Was that not obvious?
These threads just make me want to play actual DnD with my IRL friends.
I didn't think that halflings would be THAT rare. Halfling Luck is pretty good. I just wanted to make a cute e-boi in order to get beast fucked by Halsin.
Gays and sexual deviants pick half elf because it’s human but better, elf because it’s the prettiest, and tiefling because they’re the bad sexy demons.
I have a player in my dnd game who is a tiefling that uses half elf stats because he wants to be a bisexual horny girl who can still do all the things elves can.
Why the fuck are you even playing with a person like that?
It’s them and furfags anon. Everyone else who’s into D&D and isn’t a bisexual or furry is actually mentally ill
If I have advantage on int saving throw does that mean I have advantage on offensive cantrips and spells or just an advantage while I'm saving against something? This is in reference to gnome cunning.
It's when you're saving against something.
saves = defensive
attack rolls = offensive
Im always a human (or high elf) in any fantasy game. I wanted to do something "different", so while a Drow was my first choice, I went for DragonBorn. Its nice although in retrospective I kinda wished I picked Half Orc
Half Orc's are ugly and melee combat is boring unless you add 7 layers of magic to it.
But races barely matter anyway. I keep changing classes, I started as a Bard (I keep returning to it though).
ugly
Half Elf supremacy.
>that bro that plays a fantasy game to roleplay as the same loser they're irl
Where my orc bros at
Half Orc Barbarians get absolutely retarded 4 dice criticals that melt anything even if you don't get even sillier with Savage Attacker and Great Weapon Master
Durge seems like the way you were meant to play. Swen lied, there is so much extra story
>>that bro that plays a fantasy game to roleplay as the same loser they're irl
I ain't a loser, I'm cool. You know what's not cool? Reality.
I don't play games to be someone else, I LOVE myself, I WANT to be myself, I just don't want to be in this boring ass reality.
I want OTHERS to be wacky ass goofy ass ugly ass motherfuckers like yourself while I go on adventures with hot chicks and monster bros (and funny fag elves).
Game got popular, way more girls and normies joined in so the statistics changed.
>the statistics corrected
Humansisters...
Are you implying that an extra skill and 25% more carry weight isn’t useful?
>skill
save scumming makes it 100% pointless
>carry weight
You can literally just send whatever back to your camp at any time or instantly teleport it to another character no matter where they are
I haven't picked this game up yet. Would playing as a Dragonborn, Tiefling, or Half-Orc Bard be a bad idea?
The game is so easy that there is absolutely no need to minmax your race choice and class combo. Bard is also a very strong class and none of those races would do anything to impact its performance significantly one way or another. Just pick the race you want to RP as or that you think looks cool. Like I saw a guy posting about a black dragonborn rogue, not at all a synergistic choice, but it doesn't impact your ability to complete the game at all and it looked really cool.
he is very cool and has chuuni heterochromia
Thanks doc
Half Orc Bard here. Shit's cash.
Nice. I remember back in High School I ran a Half-Orc Bard inspired by that old, old Los Tiburon /tg/ screencap. Good times even when everybody else at the table was varying degrees of Chaotic Neutral.
You don’t need to minmax. Just play the race you think looks cool
nothing's a bad idea, you can beat it as anything on the hardest difficulty
Bard is very strong. Being able to buff martial characters like Barbarian is probably the best party configuration in the game. Not to mention your charisma stat to dominate conversations.
Im this anon
You can be whatever you want after you reach certain point of the game, so I was a DragonBorn Bard and I was good, charisma checks are easy
Race barely matters at all, you can be anything you want.
so humans are shit now?
I played for like 3 or 4 hours, I picked human male paladin, bashed that fucking vampires skull in instantly, went to some cave where 2 people were abusing a goblin, then I bashed their head in for picking on the weak and I bashed the goblins head in aswell. Then I dropped the game.
>mutt race most popular among its mutt players

Apparently you can respect throughout the campaign. When doing so with the main character, does it reset to true zero? Like can you even change race and starting background?
no just class
>Race and background
No. Only level. But that means you can play whatever class (or classes) you want
Do you side with orpheus or the emperor
people refuse to RP in an RPG and instead go for straight min-maxing because one race has slightly better racials in an already easy game
blows my fucking mind how people can't just make a fantasy character and experiment with builds but instead load the game and within 5 seconds google
>best builds in BG3
Its hard to roleplay with all the jankiness of a videogame, though

Ironically Githyankis are the one other race with OP racial but they sit at the bottom in terms of popularity

Honestly, it's a shocker that human isn't further down. It's genuinely the second worst race in the game - only Dragonborn is worse.
Also intensely funny that Gith are so far down despite being utterly busted. They're just that ugly, I suppose.
They did it on fucking purpose
Yes, they did. Larian has gone out of their way to display their seething for people that play humans. There's hardly any humans in the game to begin with, and no real "human" dialogue options. It's actually kind of hilarious, Baldur's Gate is more populated by dwarves and gnomes and tieflings.
It's like they turned Baldurs Gate (city) into modern day Londanistan
Human make sense considering a lot of newfags are playing the game it maybe there first game in this kind of genre so they want to play as themselves dragonborn numbers are the surprise one here maybe a lot of furry fags Play This game or Maybe a second playthrough where you doing an "evil" run.
Honestly? Dragonborn actually look pretty good, and they have very solid customization options. That's probably why they're so high. You'll notice that a lot of races that get downright insane shit (Dwarves, Gith, Gnomes) are very low just because they look bad.
If you want a culture shock, replay NWN2. I've done it recently, and it's day and night how much more sensibly populated the city is. You've got some half-elves around, there's a half-orc, and a couple elves, but it's mainly humans. Aasimar and Tieflings are very rare (as they should be), and dwarves don't just randomly leave their holds en-masse to become shopkeepers. Seeing a kobold merchant is actually a surprise, instead of it being a "Well yeah of course".
Legitimately fuck WOTC and fuck people that make city populations make zero sense.

D&D races are iconic not without reason. Kys contrarian weebchud.
half elves are literally the same as humans, except they get dark vision, can't get charmed or put to sleep and get to pick a racial bonus like a cantrip vs humans just get 1 more skill proficiency
regular knife ears get dark vision, cant be put to sleep or charmed, proficiency in perception (so 5 proficiencies like humans), arguably a better list of weapon proficiencies since most short swords and long and short bows have good shit attached to them and a cantrip or +movement and stealth.
The 2 big issues are the +2/+1 stats aren't tied to race which kills one of the big reasons to pick a race and the game just fucking showers you with with magic items making it so the light armor, shield, and polearms humans get aren't that great compared to other magic items and if you play something like fighter you get everything the humans get anyway
What is a "human race"? Should there not be different subspecies of humanity you can choose from, like in real life? Shiggy Diggy. Weak game is weak.
duergar can turn invisible at will as much as they want with 0 spell slots require and no one still wants to play dwarf lol.
So what's probably the most evil bad guy class I could make? Would it even be remotely worth it to subclass an oathbreaker paladin into a necromancer wizard if they have the same spells? The necromancy book is basically better than their summons anyways.
How the fuck does bardic inspiration work? Went college of Valor and whenever I inspire someone their next attack doesn't always use it. Is that a bug or am I missing something?
This pretty much tracks with the data we have. The three most popular D&D races are Human, Elf, Half-Elf and together make up ~52.1% of all D&D characters.
The next three are Dwarf, Dragonborn and Tiefling so really the only change is Half-Elf goes from 3rd to 1st and dwarf goes from 4th to 8th.
Drow are also a subrace of elf in the base game and not their own race.
>tl:dr
People want to play elves primarily because they're often described as just Human+ and the next biggest camp is people that want to play Human for relatability.
I went human rogue because I wanted to be like Garrett but I didnt realize how bad it is
Rogue is one of the the best classes in the game. You'll be fine
Thief is legitimately fantastic, the extra bonus action lets you do some serious shenanigans
Yeah rogue is boring as fuck. It's designed for multiclass and they removed all functionality from pure rogue.
My recommendation? Ditch it after level 3. The only "fun" thing is double hand crossbows and its a pretty linear playstyle. Try going shadow monk/thief rogue or gloomstalker ranger/assassin rogue. They're fun and powerful and still feel "rogueish" with all the stealth elements.
I sure as fuck am glad Larian wasted time making origin characters instead of adding more companions and polishing Act 3.
>Just went on that date with Karlach in the city
I love her so much why cant she be real
I hope we get Tabaxis as DLC. I wanna be a cat monk.
sorry but larian are not based enough for big titty catgirls, enjoy your titless fridgelike dragonborn though
they're not catgirls you retarded weeb
>he doesn’t like male dragonborn with the buff mod
Opinion discarded
fag
furry catgirls are still catgirl retard
they are fugly is what im saying, look at dos2 lizards and weep at what they've taken from us
Nah they’re all good, you’re just autistic. Also never got flooded with commission requests for DOS2 lizards like I did with dragonborn
That's just a matter of popularity. DOS2 Lizards were miles better, he is right about that. They also had a distinct culture.
Larian's homebrew is overall superior to Faerun.
I thought the long necks on females were ugly as sin personally. Like the lizard feet way more though
I think it’s really funny how a majority of the people add tails to their commission requests. Why does WotC not just give them tails? Everyone seems to pretend that’s the norm and not a birth defect
maybe because bg3 has 5 times the playercount?
Ah yes, the make your own look dragonborn ocs of people playing dnd(a likely group to commission) vs the sexo lizards in dos2. What a good comparison you retard. Good to see scalies are still as low iq as always.
BG3's way more popular though.
Larian def has scalies on the dev team, don't they? Like how do you explain a female dragonborn bard showing up pantsless. and then getting murdered.
That should’ve been obvious with the red prince quest line. It’s either Swen himself or somebody very high level
>Larian def has scalies on the dev team
Gee I wonder who.
people give the db shit for just being humans with lizard masks...but i disagree. It's hard to make 3D scalies look good and I think they did a great job
The dragonborn facial animations are fluid and sell the emotion of the dumb lizards. Actual reptiles irl are completely emotionless so making a race of emotive lizards was a job well done in not just making them look like rubber masks.
Yeah they aren't as wild and monster-like as the divinity lizard men but the camera focus is completely different in these two games.
>scalies bad furries good
Can't say I've encountered this strain of autism before
There used to be a divide back when 4E was new. Now it’s only the most autistic people that hate one or the others
bad furries good
Other way around
Just finished the game for the first time on tactician, wasn't that bad difficulty wise. I think I got way too much mileage out of hasting Lae'zel. Very good game otherwise.
Ended with me going to hell with Karlach, I guess The repair guy died in Act 2 for me.
Half-humans get all the important benefits of both. It's the min-max choice.
Ranger is the best class as always
>0% of this thread have an active IRL D&D group
Prove me wrong.
I have one but I don't want to dox myself since I'm 80% sure one of them is a regular here
I can't, I'd rather get kicked in the balls than play DND. That system blows.
>muh weederino
dweeb
They made humans ugly as fuck. It's practically impossible to make a good looking human male.
No it isn't what the fuck lol? I made a gigachad blonde paladin in less than 2 minutes
Yeah and he looks like shit which is why you didn't post him.
actually I didn't post him because I don't want to out myself, plus you will pretend he looks ugly to avoid conceding that you are wrong and a retard.
Larian made a blog post where they pointed out that a convergence of tens of thousands of early access players all made a handsome human male. You are a significantly below the average intelligence. Reflect on that.
humanbros checking in
Karlack? Beheaded
Wyll? Burnt him to a crisp when he turned on me for joining the drussy
Shadowheart? Based and justicar pilled, was her lover for the first half of the game but dumped her for that drussy once it became available
Uldrich powers? I got a brain entirely full of tadpoles bro
Gale? Left him in the portal rofl, I already have a human wizard I don't need fuken two, boy can chill in his portal
Astarion? Vampire god bro, fuck those 4000 fiends, lets get that super bite
Druids and tieflings? Lmao get fucked
Last light inn? kidnapped that girl, to gain favor, sheild broke, entire inn succumb to darkness, killed all its inhabitants, still kept whatsherface but she basically sits it out
Halsin? Killed him in his fucken cage, boy came after those cute goblins
Goblins? Saved em all bro, goblins are fucken CUTE
The most based playthrough
Human presets are literal nogs while half-elf presets are beautiful people with fair skin.
Women and homosexuals
>moron race is the least picked
as it should be
why would a elf even fuck a human
like a human wouldn't fuck a shortstack's goblin's brains out and marry them because they're going to die in like 10 years anyway
>why would a elf even fuck a human
Elves have been lusting over human cocks since old man Tolkien.
Earendil on his flying ship is the male fantasy
Half elf is just pretty human
.
Why did they make the orcs so wrinkly?
I play a sorcerer. Half elf gets a charisma boost.
It's what I played when oli was playing actual dnd with friends.
Muh human mald warrior fags were always just a vocal minority
>pic
That didn't happen though ... The stats are literally in the OP
>human male fags account for 10% of players at best
Yeah it happened, now kneel and choke on that Elgi cock
Never played bg3. It's like DnD 5e right? Assuming bg3 doesn't have varient human like 5e, there are other races with better abilities than standard humans.
It's mostly 5e with some changes it to make it work better in a video game, like all the martials having access to weapon abilities (I don't think 5e has that by default IIRC)
Yeah extra weapon abilities are cool in a video game, but on tabletop it's a layer of tedious rules lookup.
Just like spell components
I remember playing a dorf in the demo and it wasn't all that good to play one
Human warrior chads...we lost....
What was that?
Fighter has the issues that's its just not that interesting its a 2-3 dip to get almost everything interesting about them.
No it doesn't. 12 fighter is the best class in the game
How so? None of the level 10 subclass features are impactful, a third attack is super easy to multiclass a similar or better option and has the opportunity cost of having to go 11 pure and 12 literally just another feat which is obtainable with a multiclass.
>a third attack is super easy to multiclass a similar or better option
There are literally only 2 other ways to get it, the warlock pact of the blade exploit or druid wildshape multiattack.
Don't say that it's "super easy" that's a load of bullshit. Because monks and rogues aren't nearly as good with haste stacking.
Fighter is actually the strongest singular class in the entire game. Fighter 12 is easily top 4 or top 5 builds. I don't know why you are trying to deny that, it's weird and cringe.
It's the only class that can reach 12 attacks per turn. It's busted
Which retarded youtuber are you getting this garbage from? Fighter 11 is well-known to be the best class
>a third attack is super easy to multiclass
Ok, elaborate.
He can't, extra attack does not stack.
What I don't understand is where the sense of confidence comes with these retards. They type out a long post with a supreme sense of authority over something that is not true. Not even close to true. Why? For what fucking purpose? Is it that difficult to add "I think" or "I feel" or a question mark? Why are they always selling? It's so fucking annoying.
>What I don't understand is where the sense of confidence comes with these retards
I've noticed this too in other threads. Maybe newfags who aren't familiar with the system ?
Not that anon but you can have 2 attacks + bonus with Monk for example
That's not a fucking ATTACK moron. It won't work with Haste.
Paladin and ranger rape fighter lmfao
I haven't played around with Ranger, but Paladin rapes fighter for one encounter. If you have to do multiple fights without resting Fighter will carry you further. I'd still take a Paladin over a Fighter though.
No, fighter is useless for resting it's completely reliant on action surge. Ranger is the guy for no resting, and paladin rapes fighter for resting.
>completely reliant on action surge.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about fighter being a dogshit class for npc bots
>yeah reliance on action surge sucks, reliance on spell slots is fine though
You are a fucking retard and just scored an own goal.
The point is paladin does more damage you fucking retard. Damn you're so stupid you can't see two steps ahead of you.
Wow what does more damage, 12 attacks or two smites...let me think this through...
The paladin lmfao congratulations scoring on your own goal
wrong, you are so fucking wrong.
They've literally done the math for this you retard
I don't even think this is true with 8 strength.
It has the most options of any martials by far unless you fell for the champion meme. In which case you have 80IQ and should not be listened to.
Dragonborn bros just download the mod to make breath a bonus action. Doesn't make much sense for a somatic caster but all martials its perfect
>pick human because I'm not a gay
>Everyone talking about racials
>Literally human has the worst possible other than shield proficiency for wizards or some stupid shit
https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Races
What the literal fuck?
They did it to dissuade people from picking human
They deliberately nerfed humans so people would play them less. That's how mad Larian was about the white human male fighter
>50 gorillian scalie races, most being literally redundant
Fucking why?
Day/night cycle?
Yeah it exists, it's literally a core gameplay mechanic.
Yeah? How long do I have to stand in one place for day to turn into night?
Hey, I've seen this guy before.
Just want you to know: you probably the most arbitrary and autistic nitpick that I have personally ever seen. For any game.
This game has day and night mechanics, but you are personally ass flustered that you cannot walk around at night? It's so fucking weird and stupid. Stick to pokemon, champ.
>This game has day and night mechanics
Ok, so answer the question axed.
fag
rrad the thread retard
>rrad
drrrr
6,900 hours and you’ll be in night. I’m not joking either, scrape the data files
I accept your confetti to there not being day/night cycle 🙂
Until you decide it's night by pressing the long rest button.
Um, schweatie, if there was day/night cycle they'd happen without me doing anything.
Mum, swine, you asked for a day/night cycle, not a specific way of how it happens. Check mate, now inhale this *BRAAAAAAP*
But it's not a cycle.
>day > night > day
Yes it is, it is cycling between two states. Next statement? If it's as idiotic as this one I'll rip an even bigger fart in celebration
>it is cycling
How long is one cycle?
Yes but also no? You can go to the camp to rest so it becomes night which triggers interactions and events, but you cant do anything at night outside of camp
Yeah
Doko?
In the game
🙂
>i want to do nothing and be rewarded
nu age Ganker folks
You press a button to go into night phase, you can’t just stand around and let the game do the work for you.
Hope this helps
Yeah, it helps me understand there's no day/night cycle. Thanks!
>game cycles from night to day
ESL moment XD
It does have a day/night cycle THOUGH.
Too bad it doesn't 🙂

I've never played table top but I have an idea of how it works, I've read books and I've watched sessions of games (and no, Im not talking about Critial Roll although I've seen it too).
Ive also played tons of jrpgs.
This is my first crpg, playing in Tactician. 40 hours later, I can say its good and has some interesting interactions but, you alñ fucking lied to me: this was supposed to be DnD and yet it still has all of thay vidya jankiness thay breaks any sense of immersion.
Thanks for the blog post.
You were always a meme.
>half the races are either human or taller, gayer humans
What a snorefest.
how do people actually have problems in this game i think a lot of you are like legit medically retarded where you need a doctor to knock on your knee with a mallet like theres no way some of u are this retarded they even got an easy mode in there swallow ur pride sport ur retarded

If all I wanted to do was murder fucking everything in the most psychotic or just straight up raging hate boner way, then sure this game is so fucking easy it's unreal.
the game gives you 4 inspirations that work as quickloads to bank that come constantly
They made the human male faces ugly on purpose. I had to use a mod to use an elf face on my human before I could make a character I was happy with.
Larian I need playable goblins. Sven I saw the flag for the kobolds I know you want to implement atleast one of the short evil races.
I've not played any of these games but they have githyanki in these? like dak'kon?
>githyanki in these? like dak'kon?
bro...
I thought placescape was a separate setting from standard dnd
its on a different plane than Faerûn, but it is still the same universe
Yes
dak'kon is githzerai which is a good splinter race from the more evil githyanki.
Githyanki: Lawful evil tyrants. NPC enemy race.
Githzerai: Chaotic good free thinkers. PC race.
They hit the middle ground of being nice to look at and having good racials.
Escapism is better
?feature=shared
who would he pick
Human wizard
Shadar-kai when? They look like cool elves.
I played as a drow and intentionally played as a boy scout because it's retarded that drows can be anything but mustache twirling villians
should've put in more unique races. let me pull out some weird shit.
>tortle
>goliath
>thri-kreen
>bugbear
>goblin
>kobold
>firbolg
variant human
This isn't shovelware. Each race has a bunch of unique options and animations. It's ridiculous that there are even this many options.
They put only the races from the 5e player handbook and added Githyanki to the list because of the story.
It could be worse.
Imagine being a dwarf fag.
I smell a pointy ear leaf lover. That's going in the book.
nerds love elves + half elves are op as fuck and humans are the worst race in the game gameplay wise
I'm surprised humans are that high and close to first
based
>Pick human
>Shapeshift into whatever I want for the coom factor
>Get a buff whenever I shape shift as a bonus
Human faces suck, half elf isbjust human but pointy ears and they get nice face options
I still went for a hyman thoughever
I find it weirder that Giths are further down the totem pole than Gnomes, Dwarves, and Halflings.
Usually humanoid species of normalish height tend to at least get more attention than the stumpies.
Humans have the ugliest faces
man looking at all those posts is pathetic. imagine caring so much about an irrelevant dated game mechanic
>dated
How come it was present 20 years ago and is still present today? 😀
idk how bout you spam your cancer a few hundred more times and see if people like you more lol
See you in the next thread, make sure you bring some arguments this time 😛
?

I hope you take your meds and get the help you need. I pray for you. May Christ be with you, always.
I hope larian hires better game devs and shills 🙂
They will, the game made banks.
I would love to know how many of those critics made it past act 1, and how many didn't question how horny all of your companions were due to a bug.
Fuck if I know, why don't you go to the GOTY awards and ask Swen once BG3 becomes game of the year?
>once BG3 becomes game of the year?
Just like tlou 2 did? What an honour!
You try being GOTY without Sony or Nintendo boosts.
How about you try being goty without drag queers? Oh, you can't 🙂
Eh, it takes 30 secs to model and makes bitter fucks like you seethe, I say bring in the chuds and the nogs.
Oooh, absolutely no argument AGAIN. How embarrassing.
What argument? You don't enjoy the game, more power to you.
You dropped the "muh goty" bullshit so quickly, what happened, champ?
It's still gonna be GOTY.
>You try being GOTY without drag gay boosts.
there has never been a GOTY winner with a drag queen thoughever.

moron the game is popular. Even if you personally don't like it, that doesn't change the fact that it is successful.
And it's not very good, don't care about your ad populum 🙂
Stick to the Codex bro, bitter balding losers don't get upvotes in Ganker.
>in Ganker.
Hello ESLoid.
I'm explaining to you why you're getting replies supporting the game. I don't know why I bothered, since you're going to autistically screech about shills anyway. The truth never mattered to you.
I never claimed it's not popular, little retard schizo. Back to your shit corner.
No you just claimed everyone that disagreed with you were shills.
Kill

self
>No you just claimed everyone that disagreed with you were shills.
No, I didn't. Try deploying reading comprehension, if you have it. I guess I can't expect much from weeetawwwwds who dumped their Int and Wis, huh?
I play Halfling
In terms of gameplay Half Elf is literally just human, but better
No, really, it's retarded
I picked half elf because they get more movement range than anyone else and I thought it would be relevant. It's not.
cosmic horror shit wtf
why did you feel the need to share this image
it's a joke you silly goose
the dog is actually inside an ice cube, when it melts the dog will be free just like in cartoons
It's a resin pour over a taxidermic doggo.
it's knot
It's a joke made by a vfx artist.
Does anyone else get this weird reflection with the Dwarf portrait? I can't seem to get rid of it.
I wanted to play skeleton. You can't play as a skeleton so the only obvious choice is human.
laezel is for githyankin' my pp
I wanted to pick human but they ugly as fuck, I wanted to make myself and I'm a cute guy, and for some reason I couldn't make a cute human guy, they all ugly as shit...
So I picked half elf but my intention was to be a twink human.
Human still is the best.
O
Get shields with casters also +1 skill for mc and more carry capacity for hoarding. Human is literally made for the main character
bunch of pegged dudes play this game and a shit load of trannies, makes sense the gayest possible race would be the most popular
