>inb4 she was a last minute addition
That was true for the gay, jaheria and minsc. She was a confirmed companion from the start and it's criminal what they did to her
Also I wanted to see a cutscene of gale attempting to steal mystras godhood and being wiped from existence ala Karsus and Mystryl. It was quite disappointing for the crown to fall into the lake and he starts going on about how he's gotta go get it then the game ends. Entire last bit of act III was really bad in truth, very railroaded.
Also Gortash was a chad and didn't deserve to go out like he did
Oh hey its that random murker I killed, had no idea they were a companion, neat
>he really thought the game is a deep RPG and you really have branching content that depends on your choices instead of it becoming irrelevant later to save budget
Lmao let's laugh at BG and Lariangays.
>Used lmao in a sentence
So are you a homosexual, a fathomosexual, or a puft?
>cares about writing quality on Ganker
>plays BG3
Based moron.
I use lmao exclusively to refer to (You) because it’s the only phrase that adequately describes the mirth people feel when you try to be taken seriously
You use lmao exclusively because you're a fathomosexual of low cunning who believes himself a higher form when he uses mirth in a sentence.
Go back.
>projection
This is not your place lmao
Was it some petty attempt at a mind game that caused you to say I was projecting? Seriously kys I doubt your bloodline has much to offer beyond clap ridden harlots and spastic hodors.
cringe
>le cringe
Stay seething puft
That's bad. Promise of drussy was one thing that would have had me play this game.
You can go to a prostitutehouse and have a threesome with drussy twins
What?
No has to be foursome
They used up all their budget doing voice lines, please understand
Devs should use AI to do voice work and spend the budget in more meaningful things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1z17IChlvs
All her content is in act 2 though, at most you get 2 scenes with her in act 1 then she disappears to Moonrise.
I'm in Act 2 now and it seems it's just a fetch quest filler swamp level. I'm rushing the Moonrise Towers today, recruiting Minthara, and fricking off to Act 3 because so far this has been an absolute slog.
>I'm rushing the Moonrise Towers today and fricking off to Act 3 because so far this has been an absolute slog.
good luck with that, heh, heh...
Should've chosen the best girl.
Shes on par with that Black person from forespoken.
thank you, I've been saying this shit, she's literally the exact same character and no one is critiquing it at all
ALRIGHT GUVNOR I LUV KILLIN DEEEMUNS
>Scars all over her body.
>Face is completely untouched.
She's overdesigned to shit already. If you added facial scarring too, she'd look even more like somebody's Deviant Art OC.
She will willingly accept the enhanced illithid powers, which gives you a ton of deep veins all over the face. You should check it out. I’d post a pic but I’m not at my steam deck
If they were being consistent she'd look like Freddy Krueger.
Wish I could - see
she has the worst dialogue of all the characters, she sounds like some feminist wrote her lines, saying 'mother fricker' and 'frick' all the time when everyone else is speaking in fantasy english, i enjoyed beheading her my 2nd time through
>, she sounds like some feminist wrote her lines, saying 'mother fricker' and 'frick' all the time
Is Karlach the only woman who isn't a submissive idiot? (She's an idiot, ofc)
Lae'zel flops over on her back and lets you own her if you show you're strong.
Shadowheart flops over on her back and lets you own her if you gently rub her cheeks enough.
Minthara, I don't think you can romance her, but she does seem pretty submissive to you.
people giving this game 10/10 haven't played past arc 1
guaranteed
Arc 1 its around 30 hours more if you check everything
arc 3 is 2 1/2 hours long
Wrong. You can get 5+ hours in the outskirts of Baldur's Gate alone. Your lies become less and less relevant with each passing day as people actually play the game, lmao. Have you considered taking your schizo pills?
act 1 is 3 hours longer if you do all the gay sex
is it gameplay according to you?
I don't know, is getting fricked in the ass while collecting your bing bing wahoos in TotK gameplay according to you?
the only gay sex is in your game, homo
You mean if you were playing it, being the gay that you are. Sitting down is the only thing keeping your dad's creampie out of your ass right now.
your game has multiple homosexuals hitting on you, you play games made for homosexuals.
Again, if you were playing it, they would. Imagine being this assmad about a game you haven't played and know nothing about, lmao. It's almost as if you're mentally ill or something. The tendie mental illness troonwar has come to PC. What a disgrace.
>homosexual has nightmares about his dad molesting him
many such cases.
I'm a CRPG fan you are just a discord troony
The only mental illness is the one you got from your dad
>many such cases.
Yeah, no need to tell us about them. Reality is, you enjoyed it so much that you've become the biggest closet homosexual in the universe and now see homosexualry every, that you want up your ass. Including games like this where player agency can result in homosexualry.
Tendie copers haven't even gotten past the character creation scene in their pirated version at 2 FPS.
For such a tearsome display where she get tortured, and giving you the impression that you could fix her, Larian sure and literally forgot about her the moment she stepped out the torture chamber, with that being said, can you by chance recruit her if you side with the druids ? in act 2 if you side with the goblin, she gets captured anyway by Thorm, so maybe there's that possibility, however slim, that it plays out like that all the same.
As far as I can tell no one has come up with a way to get her as a companion without raiding the grove.
If you skip the grove conflict entirely, both her and halsin are recruitable I think. But they're glitched and occupy the same camp because larian didn't think to implement the path
You can help the grove in every quest except in the raid, then go to act 2 and recruit her and Halsin
Jesus christ. Spoilers Black person!
You kinda deserve it you should've known not to be on Ganker or Ganker in general really
In all honesty I'm actually sorry I spoiled it for you, the gale thing was a mistake, and the subsequent post with gortash I thought I hid the pic but it didn't
It’s been proven spoilers increase your enjoyment of media, so you should be thanking him.
I’m not linking anything because there’s pages of search results for you to choose from.
So if you want her as a companion anyway, how evil do you have to be for the entire game?
First step is kill the whole Druid grove so pretty evil
But what about afterward? Are you locked into an evil route for the rest of the game?
>That was true for the gay
Which one? All male companions are gays.
So wait, there's no way to pull or manipulate her to your side without going along with the Tiefling-holocaust?
That's lame. I thought this game was all about choice. Even Bioware games let you recruit "evil" team mates while playing a moralgay.
There's probably a patch down the line to fix it. People can just avoid the entire druid Grove questline to recruit them but it's janky af.
It's not janky at all. Your dream guardian even gives you praise for ignoring the grove questline in order to focus on what really matters.
Do you get anything for skipping it?
Yes two bugged companions and less interactions since the tieflings died considering how little content Minthara has its not worth
Is this game worth? I like Dnd, but a lot of people said this game is woke as frick, like having genderless angels n shiet?
It's worth it. The wokeness is pretty mild and only if you choose to be degenerate.
Aight, gonna buy it then. Thanks for that
Unironically dropped the game after noticing that BG3 becomes a 4/10 when you try an evil route
Isnt the main issue with her that low approval she has when you finally get her? Even if you frick her. You don't have that many options to raise her approval in Act 2 and bringing her in Moonrise Towers just makes some people go apeshit there.
the take away here is that devs should simply front load all their best player experience in the first 30 hours since all the homosexuals who put 10s in metacritic never bother going past act 1 before declaring it game of the generation
>boss, the city is only 30% completed but we're near launch
>no problem, put baldur's gate in the 3rd act
Not even that, a lot of the reactivity collapse after act 2 and the companion endings are garbage
And they aren't wrong, the game really looks like it ends in Act 2
>the take away here is that devs should simply front load all their best player experience in the front
Front loading content is a tried and true technique of the industry.
Why does this happen in every fricking Larian game? Can they not stick the landing even once?
Very few RPGs end with a good note
only wrpgs, it's very common in jrpg's to have a golden ending
WotR has one because it's a better game.
>wrath of the troony
>good ending
>good writing
holy kek owlsidiot be capping for real
that's moronic. doesn't that game have Spyware?
They almost did.
it is a better game yes
that game is for the straight up gays. I have a choice to ignore and kill you types in bg3
funny how I was able to kill my companions in the most creative ways and even get to sacrifice the queen. companions in wotr are completely optional since unlike bg3, it has an actual functional hireling system.
I like how you have the ability to use tadpoles for your brain skill tree in bg3
It was meh, I was expecting mythic abilities tier powers but was disappointed by percent bonuses and redundant skills.
it's fricking hilarious that one of the "final" powers is just a fly scroll
Fly as a Bonus Action is much stronger than Fly as a Standard Action.
I bet they're going to make a part 4. 12 levels isn't enough, just like ng1
>bg1
larian is pretty adamant not to add more levels and I agree with them, more level will make the game an unbalanced mess that even zoomers will breeze through
that's what I meant they'll just make a second game instead
making a part 4 won't solve the unbalancing issue, the problem is 5E itself
I agree I'm not a fan of 5th edition
My genocidal god fearing wife
I cannot fricking believe how badly the game falls apart after act 1, there's nothing to do and it's just shitty bog standard larian gimmick fights. I've never been this disappointed in a game after putting 40 hours into it
Her being so popular is surprising even with all those bugs.
>Make an absolute hot nazi drow that you can bang in Act 1
>"I was controlled! I didn't want to do any of that!" in Act 2
> She barely talks anymore
Thanks god I pirated this shit.
>Then after killing Ketheric she starts planning about controlling the absolute sect and becoming a goddess with me
Sorry honey but you still need more dialogue options beyond 1 for each act
>That was true for the gay
lolno, Halsin has an entire questline connected to the shadow curse and he only joins once you finish it.
Wait, how do you skip the druid questline? Isn't it mandatory or something?
You can just walk straight to act 2.
Wut? Don't you need to find a healer or something? How do you walk straight to Act 2 from that?
Getting healed is the main plot. Of course nothing gets fixed in Act 1.
You can go to act 2 without triggering the raid to the grove
Wait I thought the game had 6 acts they are really going to rush the Baal and Bane chosen in just 1 act?
They rush it in half a hour.
You can get to the Ketheric boss fight without even meeting him once beforehand. It's about the same, except Orin fricks with you throughout a lot of sidequests in act 3.
The ending was so abrupt I thought I skipped something. Not even a slide on how your choices affect the city (the Duke dead or alive, which criminals you sided with, etc), nothing on your companions afterward like Fallout would. It's clear they put all the time into the EA sections and left the others to rot.
What is it with CRPG games and the game just utterly collapsing past the first few acts? Is it a curse?
characters are paper thin once you get to know their dark and troubled past
that's why Tyranny is the best CRPG, it knows when it's ok to stop overmilking itself
>Tyranny
kek, even worse than this bg3 shit. fact is the only CRPGs that hold up to the end are the narratively strong ones, planescape and disco elysium
>planescape and disco elysium
Yes, because they're on the Switch, therefor good.
planescape is on the switch?
https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/planescape-torment-and-icewind-dale-enhanced-editions-switch/
Yes, and therefore good. On Switch = Good.
disco elysium doesn't even have a fail state, it's literally a comie podcaster simulator sans the charm that the Sim 4 has
point is if you enjoyed the first couple hours with both you'll enjoy them to the end, not the case with other CRPGs.
not really, Disco Elysium goes downhill once they force you to interact with the cryptoid shit
nope I started both planescape and disco elysium and never finished them because they are just boredom in video game form, with the addition that even the fights are boring in planescape
>Want to play a racist muscle guy
>Say something racist once (which causes you to take literal brain damage)
>Die instantly after saying "welcome to Revachol" once, because I only had 1 mind.
You need high mental fortitude and intelligence to successfully be a racist is Disco Elysium, just like real life.
At high levels your characters become Godlike so they need to start throwing you Dragons, Demi Gods and the like but these are boring narrative wise, like the entire sect of the absolute was kino until you learn what really is and then its like "Oh ok"
Playing as a Drow rogue and hating g****ns with all my heart, killing her for nice armor and total g****n genocide I'm honestly surprised the game allows killing their ugly piece of shit children was almost no price to pay.
How do I know which act am I in right now?
>Game is incredibly frontloaded to cash in on large shill campaign
Wow imagine my fricking shock
She gave me a bj so she's alright
>Play BG3
>Romance Karlach after talking to her just 2 or 3 times.
>Start a new game
>Want to romance her again and now I'm 20 hours in and she says is "hey soldier" and no romance options appear.
Why?
Probably your choices.
She's bugged. There are unused lines and quests with her that don't fire.
Larian loves to frontload tons of content and leaves you with barely anything in the later acts. This is nothing new.
Gotta love this last resort cope as people finish up the game and the Metacritic score keeps rising.
>i-i-it's not good past act 1
You are now an ursine wiener slave. Don't forget it.
>People only just realizing Larian frontload the frick out of their games
DivOS2's prison island was literally the most free and open part of the game. It becomes almost entirely linear after that point.
lolno, you can go wherever you want in act 2. What you mean is that you can teleport into Fort Joy in more than one way, therefore that means it has freedom. Act 1 is just as linear in OS2. You can only decide where to go, which is no different from the rest of the game.
>What you mean is that you can teleport into Fort Joy in more than one way
Yes, that's what free and open means.
Yeah, and it's not, at all. The fort itself takes 15 minutes to get past. After that Just as many ways to get into various areas of act 2. Not sure what your agenda is, but you don't know what you're talking about in this case.
No, you're sugarcoating how linear everything past Act 1 is because you're a fanboy.
>Durr see the freedom in Act 1 isn't actually real freedom because I said so
>All those ways to get into Fort Joy? Irrelevant
>The various directional paths you can go with easily missable quests? Irrelevant
>The multiple ways to start Act 2? Irrelevant
she's fodder for the dark urge
she didn't have a storyline because I punched her head off.
gg no re
the level of freedom in this game is a joke compared to oblivion or skyrim. I can't even assassinate/rob sleeping npcs because there's no day night cycle.
The game falls apart after act 1. What the frick were they thinking?
What did you expect from a Larian game?
They were thinking these sheeps aren't even gonna play past act 1 before giving us 10/10s
Well, they were exactly right - BG3 is now the greatest and biggest rpg ever. It's still a decent AAA product with high production value, but no one will ever mention that the emperor has no clothes.
So Shadowife is the only good romance option for straight white male?
needs armpit hair and butthole hair
Both Shadowheart and Lae'zel get positive resolutions and good romance subplots
Karlach is fun too but has downer endings.
Minathra is the one without content.
>Minathra is the one without content.
Does she disappear in act 3 ending?
Too bad her sex scene is shit. It's not even a sex scene it just cuts to black.
Huh, so Witcher 2 is never gonna be topped in terms of sex scenes and they did it without showing any genitalia.
yeah just did a 2nd playthrough being evil this time, was expecting to get her early, had to wait ti'll fricking act 2 to get her, then i get her and she just feels like some name-less npc that i recruited
I want to start new dudes to see other sides of quests but man Act 2 world map is pretty treacherous.
as it should be
just use a fricking torch, why do people complain about that area so much, grab a torch, it's all you need, if you go good guy you even get the blessing from isobel where u dont need the torch outside of darkened areas
fricking morons
>Just replace your weapon with a club bro
The time to not be a homosexual is now
>too moronic to cast light/drop a torch on the ground when combat starts
Yep, you should definitely stop being a homosexual now.
Oh, I see, you're just a moronic Black person playing a white man's game
>if you go good guy you even get the blessing from isobel
Happens if you play both sides too
She gives you the blessing just before you help winged guy kidnap her
If you pass a check you can still get harper chick to join you after that
I gotta say they really hit it right on the head with trecherous opportunist route (as long as you pass the deception/persuasion checks or savescum).
wait do people not use that ring that gives you light?
>supposedly some big adventure that affects the fate of the realm
>all of it takes place within 5km
talk shit about ff16 but at least it felt like I was making a difference to the realm instead of just dicking around on the road to a city
I was expecting a grand tour of the sword coast but in the end I just got D:OS 3
Ah yes, the usual moronic reasoning that map size=world size.
>Game all about immersion
>100 Goblins and their intelligent Drow leader can't find a druid's grove less than 100 meters away from them
Shut the frick up you imbecile, it's a valid complaint
goblins are moronic you stupid double Black person
>THEY CAN'T FIND THE GIANT WOODEN OBVIOUS GATE AND GUARDS ON TOP BECAUSE... THEY JUST CANT OKAY?!?!?!
Stop defending this shit
ah yes like the dwarves in the underdark trying to find a massive giant forge that's exactly where it's supposed to be face it the map scaling makes no goddamn sense
ok, i'll give you that one
anon, they were headed the right way but the path was collapsed, the dwarf tries to kill you after opening it
you are so goddamn moronic it's unbelievable
probably my biggest complaint, I would have been content with just different zones that I have to load into, not a fricking 30 second walk from one end to the other
The world feels fricking tiny
We didn't even get to reach the upper city.
>shadowheart has lots to say in act 1
>start going to shar locations in act 2
>b***h has zero to say
did they just forget to add quests after act 1 for companions?
Wasn't expecting to fully recruit Jaheira, but boy did this almost make it worth getting emasculated by her pathetic vines. Quite like her quips and accent too, now that she's here shooting the shit with the gang.
>tfw have to play 60 hours until I can attend a fantasy tavern
what the frick Nintendo
good
evil alignments deserve the worst things in life
They're pixels, homie.
Evil content is just so fricking shit in this game, you lose out on so much for no real benefit it isn't even funny.
so the honeymoon phase is over and people are starting to realize this game is kinda shitty?
No, I'm having a lot of fun on my 2nd go being evil. Game has a massive amount of quality content.
>massive amount of content
not really
>t. brainlet
I've put 80 hours in BG3 and I'm still in Act 2, it is a massive game
dont argue with homosexuals that most likely pirated the game and have adhd and need a constant arrow telling them what to do next
2000 hours in cs:go doesn't mean massive game
>not really
If you skip through and kill everyone then yeah, it's not that long.
enjoy basically doing the same thing, but now skipping content
>t. moron
killing the grove is completely different from killing all 3 goblin bosses
It's a Larian game, act 1's good, act 2's great, act 3 is a rushed mess. Can't believe you can't go to the upper city.
Is it normal that I have to actually tell the absolutists that "yeah, really, I'm actually really gonna kill you no joke" before they go hostile? Feels weird that the enemies aren't hostile to me no matter how many of them I body.
She's clearly not finished. There are dialogue lines in the files that aren't in game, a lot of them apparently.
She wasn't meant as a "companion from the start" either. She was popular and it was requested during Early Access so Larian did it. If they don't add anything for her in the first real patch then I'll just say they were lazy.
