I find her funny, and getting her to accept the tadpole and fight against the gith with you felt like the biggest development of any character in the early game
I haven't played the game so stop me if there's a really good justification for it, but it bothers me that betraying her kind is being sold as a virtuous trait
Her kind is evil aligned, and she only really "betrays" them after her goddess betrays her first. If her goddess was less of a moron she could have tricked her into doing her bidding easily, she was essentially the poster child fervent cultist.
That's a good enough reason, thank you for elaborating

A very easy 10xp and her armor looks better on me. Should’ve recruited her first to get the underwear though
Kek, I don't like her either, and if you're playing a Paladin or Fighter, her armor isn't bad looking; it's some free/easy heavy armor right off the bat. If you have no plans to recruit her or use her in your party, then killing her off seems reasonable.
Best grill. CUTE! The cutest. The scene where she rolls her eyes after being embarrassed by her lack of Prime Material knowledge is the best scene in the game.

Why you lying homosexual? Before you even get a chance to hit her back she surrenders saying that she loves you too much to duel you. Everything before and after the smite part is true tho.

BG1's writing was minimal and amateur, but it served its purpose and there were a few good moments. I like Kivan, Atanis, Edwin, and Dynaheir. Imoen was likeable enough in 1 as well.
BG2 is where we get actual characterization and more depth. Most characters are written competently and some are written very well. Mazzy is great. Haer'dalis is great. The romances are all great for different reasons, even Anomen, who is also a fairly well written character. Frankly, the only terrible companion I can think of is Cernd since even Nalia improves after her quest. The only Reddit companions are Minsc, Jan, and Edwin and none of them overstay their welcome and all three of them are actually excellent party members.
You can cope all you like and say we're living in the past, but any honest comparison of the writing will show that BG3 is slop and BG2 had heart and soul, unironically.

I feel like Garrus is almost unfair, as much as I like him, because his entire role is that he's a space cop/vigilante bro that pretty much has your back from day one. It's a lot harder to frick that up or make him unlikable whereas the same writer could struggle with the Gith companion that comes from a very different culture with genuine reasons to question you or think little of you.

And a vampire that is a homosexual and wants to turn you into his pawn is a good companion how? He's murderfodder just by that alone. Almost all the characters are frontloaded onto the player for no other reason than "hey you are a chosen eyeball parasite carrier too! We should frick". The first act where we get character dumps is some of the most horrendous storytelling of any rpg I've witnessed. No I am not a bot

I think he has some good writing and voice acting, his character is very compelling. I had a few chances to kill him so far but decided to keep him around to see where his story goes. I do agree that a lot of characters get dumped on you pretty quickly, but once I got past that it is a pretty interesting story. I'm sorry about the bot comment, I figured you didnt speak English as your first language.

His story might be compelling in a "whats this crazy homosexual vampire going to do to his teammates next" kind of way, but it absolutely makes no sense from a writing perspective for him to be an ally.

She's not bloodthirsty. She's a street urichin that fell in with the bad crowd and had demons instead of street scum get their hands on her. She is happy she doesn't have to do the bidding of devils anymore and is just happy to be alive. It makes sense she would speak like street trash because she IS street trash. She is not going to talk like fricking Kain of Nosgoth because her education ended at "I read a book once when I was 5".
I think only Halsin and Minthara are completely mutually exclusive. Everyone is playersexual so they're only potentially gay if you're the same gender as them (you're not playing a woman, right anon?).
I have Halsin and Minthara. You can get both at the start of act 2 if you never activated the grove raid and left halsin in the goblin camp. Then you can get Minthara at Moonrise Towers dungeon and Halsin from the Last Light Inn's Wake Up Art Cullugh quest. Just go back to goblin camp where you left Halsin and tell him about Art and he pops up there at which point you finish the quest and can recruit him
Huh, neat. Feels like that isn't an intended interaction though, or do they actually have party dialogue together?
9 months ago
Anonymous
Probably not, but idk yet. recruiting halsin was the last thing I've done so I haven't check to see if Minthara gives an opinion on him like she does for the other companions
Minthara is the bad guy, you need to betray the druid grove and join up with the goblins to kill Karlach's people, afterward she hates you and sits on a rock waiting for you to kill her to get a cool sword
The true question is how the frick do you romance Karlach. I've restarted twice in act 1 because somehow it seems I just can't even get the kiss scene working right.
I started enjoying her near the end when she finally tells her Queen to frick off. She became much softer to the party in general near the end but I did do a moralgay playthrough
Shadowfart hopped on my wiener and her personality changed to being obsessed with me.
Frog hopped on my wiener and continued being a b***h that does her own thing.
I'm more of a pump n dump kinda guy so I prefer the frog.
The vampire elf is super useful, because he's a rogue. He's an auto include in any party for me due to locks and traps yielding their tender boypussies to his crooked touch.
Rogues are essential for trapping. If you go arcane trickster your rogue will also have tye second highest ac in the party second only to full tank sword and board heavy armor guy.
Rogues aren't essential for anything unless you want to stealth crit every combat encounter which takes about 3x as long as just smite critting everything to shit
I wiped out the entire gith creche and had her questioning her queen at the end. You goofed somewhere. Make sure you don't kill your protector in the Astral plane and tell Laezal they're planning to kill her before returning
>Make sure you don't kill your protector in the Astral plane
What happens if you do this? I did but also told frog they were going to kill her and we escaped the Creche. Will frog stay in the party still?
Is there any class that out-dps's pure 2-handed fighter? She's doing way more damage than my warlock, paladin, rogue, barbarian, etc. Wizard is comparable but magic is less consistent and has to rest after every combat encounter which is fricking tedious. Haven't played with druid or monk yet. Im level 7 and Laezal is taking out like 3 enemies per tune while everyone else maybe takes out 1 if they aren't focused on CC or buffs
I'm playing as a Gith, because that's clearly the canon race to play as, and decided to romance her, and the special Gith options make it definitely worth it.
I thought she was a gross frog at first but after time her refreshingly straightforward and honest nature won me over, I wish women were like this in real life.
Once you get to the mountain pass and make her realize her "goddess queen" is literally just raising her people as spiritual livestock to fuel her ascension to actual goddess she gets a lot more tolerable and it was pretty satisfying having her come to terms with the fact that her entire culture is founded on a lie.
I took the elevator to the dark area from the underdark is what I meant, wasn't that the "point of no return"?
Isnt the mountain path another point of no return?
No, once you're in the dark-infested zone you can freely go back to the Underdark, Mountain Pass, or the starting zone to do things you may have missed (except main story stuff).
She's so fricking ugly I really can't understand motherfrickers going all "UUUUUUUUUWUUUU COOOOM I CAN'T WAIT TO JERK OFF TO THIS FRICKING UGLY ASS SHIT" like have some fricking standards man. I'd honestly rather you be into e-girl than this shit
>I really can't understand motherfrickers going all "UUUUUUUUUWUUUU COOOOM I CAN'T WAIT TO JERK OFF TO THIS FRICKING UGLY ASS SHIT"
Those are shills and astroturfers.
Githyanki aren't something Larian came up with. She's actually a beautified version of them. They're normally lanky, ruddy, yellow-skinned morlocks with squashed bat noses.
I'm tempted to give her a a shot but everything about her rubs me the wrong way since I tend to play a decent dude in RPGs >Save the tiefling child the druids are holding captive because holding a little kid captive and threatening to have a snake eat her is a b***h move >Frog c**t disapproves because... I guess she's just a c**t like that
Karlach I at least get along with.
Gith culture is evil as shit, she goes on about how during her childhood training she killed like ~4 of her classmates and how that's just how it is, killing kids to her is probably just another Tuesday. It's more strange how alright with genocide Shart is, she's the most pansy ass Shar cultist you'll meet in the game.
Karlach and the barbarian class just keep growing on me more and more >Fight with Minthra >Got Karlach frenzied and holding the bridge while the rest of my party fights her >two goblins coming >one of the goblins leaps the gap to get to the rest of my party >Have Karlach grab the goblin she was currently fighting and hurl it at the other goblin >kills the one she was fighting, deals pretty good damage to the other and knocks it prone
Shit was great
She just carried the fight against "the certain creature that sports multiple sets of eyes" drow poison is op, dunno of I got lucky with it failing saves though. 3 turns of crit melees destroyed it. The reddit dance caught me off guard though.
Ok. The second I realized I had just bought a game that wasn't finished, I dropped it and waited for its release. I just remember her being so much more evil originally.
>>Just pick all 3.
you can't. you need to take the +2 str skill feat at least once, especially if you killed Astarion and cucked yourself out of the permanent +2 to strength potion like I did
She's alright if you side with her a lot, if you don't side with her she fronts like crazy and is just asking to fricking die. She has an annoying tendency to temporarily leave the party and then over encumber me since all her shit ends up in my backpack magically. So far Astarion is probably the most amusing, Minthara the best gril with Shart being a close second. Karlach and Wyll became immediate worm food since I'm too ebul, so no strong opinions on them. I imagine the BG2 returning companions will also be hostile towards me.
lmao, she's trapped in a cage by some Tiefling hunters in the starting area near the Druid camp. That's hilarious that you missed her. Not entirely undeserved fate for her imo
They're both cool, but cutting words is so absurdly good
You get like 4 uses per short rest and you also have song of rest so thats 12 cutting words at 18 cha before having to sleep
Respeccing is absurdly cheap anyway so you can just switch to ancients paladin if you aren't digging it
Lore Bard, great utility and kiting/rebuff potential for enemies in general + can melt enemies like casters if you’re smart with your other class spell picks
Ancients is solid on other difficulties but on tact it’s a less-effective cleric and less-effective fighter rolled into one
>enjoy being less effective than even a rogue
lmao moron
>miss two of my shots because I am firing uphill, have Sharpshooter on, am not stealth/haven't got my buffs yet >still kill the moron in one turn >still have one shot to use
I guess the downside to the class is that the spell list turned out to be shit and bard spells are pretty goddamn worthless on Tactician >hmmmm do I want to try for a CC at 40% or outright kill 1-2 people? >HMMMMMMM
I'll enjoy my 9 attacks per round 3 times a long rest
Soon to be 11. I can miss half and it doesn't matter. Maybe I'll turn off Sharpshooter one day or bother with Bless. Maybe.
Have fun using BAs to try get back into stealth to do 1 (one) more offhand xbow attack.
best girl i find her funny and HOT also battlemaster fighter with great weapon master, feinting attack and evasive footwork is a great class that makes me think of witchers
Look at footage even from the 60's you utter moron. Even the 80's and 90's. It's a world of difference in intellect, wit, social ability and politeness compared to Black folkpeak everyone does now. You are dumb.
>It's a world of difference in intellect, wit, social ability and politeness compared to Black folkpeak everyone does now. You are dumb
How big is your fedora collection?
Reminds me of how Catullus has a poem where he literally says "I'll assrape and facefrick you" in Latin. And poetry was exclusively an artform for the elites, so you can't even cope that it's commoners.
Frog is cuter than shadowfart,she has the most beautiful eyes. You can also "cheat" and make her wear a veil like the gith grill did in nwn2 and make the cute froggo irresistible to white red blooded males.
They're really weak until you get to level 6, and even then, the zombie minions still feels kind of weak unless you can kill weaker enemies with them so they create more zombies so you can overwhelm your enemies.
Also it's annoying that other NPC keeps running away from you when they see your undead minions.
Oh yeah sure, rescue their "prince" and surely he'll be able to overthrow her and her ability to cast Wish at will with no consequences. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuurely.

Bards are pretty cool if you're into the class fantasy. Then again that fight was pretty easy, to the point I thought it was a trash fight and it turns out the wiki has it as a boss kek
every fight has been easy as shit. I killed both beholders in one round.
I respec'd my barb into a monk 2 levels ago because throwing was just so broken. The damage appears to be working as intended (x2 STR mod) but the accuracy is busted. Shit is like 95% even way outside of range.
yeah the game is very easy that's why I think class fantasy >> minmaxin
just reasonably optimize your build, don't be a moron and you'll faceroll through most fights
My only complaint so far other than I wish they had labeled the romance options like other games do so 'checking out some magic' with Gale didn't turn homosexual as frick for some reason in a conversation that started about his fricking goddamn GIRLFRIEND. Swen said tactician would own us but that is just not true unless you are mentally handicapped.
I've been doing Paladin/Bard instead of Sorcadin just because the Bard dialogue options are typically pretty fun and I like being able to whip out and play instruments between turns.
I don't know about that. Bard has a pretty good spelllist and secrets are some of the best spells in the game >Early game spells: Healing Word, Heroism, Sleep >Midgame: Glyph of Warding, Fear, level 6 secrets >Endgame: Level 10 secrets
fear has like 40% chance to land
glyph of warding, in this game, is LOL
oh boy, haste and counterspell as my capstone and I already have someone for haste so I didn't go 5 levels without it! YIPEE!
or
frick that shit, 4 levels of fighter, give me a feat, give me +2 to ranged, give me action surge, and give me a raging boner as I one shot bosses
The choice for me is very clear
I hate women but she's the best companion. Only one without a shitty mary sue backstory, actually has character growth, good voice acting, and is actually relevant to the plot untlike Gale and Wyll who could be in their own games with their own stories.
Character would be better if he was a man though. Wonder how long until a mod for that.
>doesn't even deny it
when did you start having sexual fantasies about short bearded men?
is that related to your hate for women?
so far from all your schizoid homosexial posts I am assuming you were raped as a child
Just found out if you click an empty equipment slot it'll show you all the equipment you have for that slot.
Kind of upset I just discovered this midway through act 3 but better late than never.
>wrpg players find this character attractive
I've never been able to put my finger on why exactly cRPG games never clicked with me, but now I realize you guys just have something wrong with your brains.
So, is there fricking nothing to do at the creche besides commiting hate crimes or giving them the artifact? I still don't fricking know if I side with the guardian, the gith, or if I have another option
I’m playing an autistic gith girl who’s bored with pillaging and murdering and is now walking around the material plane like a Chinese tourist indulging in everything like smearing shit across her face thinking it was goblin tradition and not a cruel joke.
Gith roleplaying is unironically fricking great.
How are the romances. can I go on dates and move in together to share a bed with my romance options? Or is it just >click options >get sex scene a few hours later
I had actually just loaded back in after a long rest, so not really any time to react. If this is a scripted thing then that's less bad I guess. I was trying to go help one of the other up be she decided to just walk into it as well. The ground/aoe effects in this game are so fricking crusty. Being b***h slapped off the cliff was a nice bonus.
How worth it is taking tavern brawler for a throwing weapons build? I just found the pike that returns to you when you throw it on my berserker and I think I'm in love.
I like Lae'zel more than I expected to after hating her for the entirety of early access. She really tones down her c**ty behavior after act 1 and almost never disapproved of anything I did as a goody-two-shoes Paladin. She even liked some of my altruistic acts for some reason.
>no one posted her sex scene(s?)
Why? The only one I've seen so far is Minthara's and it's pretty tame, you guys led me to believe this game was basically porn
Favorite character so far, probably. I want to keep her around her as well as Lestat and Minthara but I'm afraid my (cleric) spells won't trivialize the game as hard as Gale's currently are.
So, can I take on the "sweet little old lady" at level 4? The musroom men oneshot shadowheart at full hp and 26ac with the drop klck. she ran, but the rest of the fight went fine. I took care of floaty-many-eyes and came out the back way, so Im tempted to believe this is on the same level.
You can kill her at level 1 if you're cool with pushing her into a pit. Otherwise yeah, I'd say level 4 at least, maybe 3 if you're not playing on tactician.
I didn't meet her until I found the githyanki patrol (who meekly scurried away after some stern words from my barbarian). She's been a complete c**t the whole time and I'm inclined to let the cleric slit her throat the next time they cat fight.
>see the devs pole fun st players for playing human >a half elf, gay elf, two human males are the first Companions you find >they all act interchangeably like a human would >tiefling is hours into the game >you can unlock another human companion later
Not even that, it always just felt like just an offhand comment of them wanting people to use some of the different shit they put in. It's natural that a dev working on character customization would want to see cool custom characters. It's kind of weird how much outrage it generated given that I distinctly remember people on here making fun of normalgays that only play generic good-aligned characters and saying it's why you'll never get good alien PCs or decent evil campaigns years before.
>Cheat on Shadowheart with Mizora >She catches us the morning after >She's cool with me fricking demons so long as I don't forget to frick her too
How can anybody else even compete?
i think romancing the frog locks you out of getting anything with karlach at least. maybe even shadowheart as well. only the dudes have been hitting on me its annoying af
i don't really get karlach. so she was forced to fight in the demon army but did she still kill the innocents after she escaped? are the paladins she wants you to kill afterwards actually evil or what?
They are. She says as much when you confront her and when you confront the paladins about it in turn they drop all pretense and attack you. Wyll easily changes his mind about her because of that.
I really wanted to like Karlach but her writing is so bad. It reminds me of forspoken with all of her obnoxious reddit quips. Also I think she breaks the fourth wall too. At 11:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfa5K4SsMYE
I felt like I was getting a mixed bag of approvals and disapprovals from her, maybe slightly in my favor, but I'm only at the fricking goblin camp and she's already trying to frick. what a hoe
>be Wyll >trying to sleep >hear the sounds of Tav fricking your patron waifu >Lae'zel and Shadowheart are pleasing themselves to the sound of Tav's 20 STR thrusts >"Wyll disapproves"
I love the frog. at first I was leaning to karlach but her insecurity is so fricking cute. when you get scenes where something happened which she didn't expect you can see her tough façade crumble right in front of your eyes, you can see her looking left or right or to the floor, uncertain or what to say or what to do. she's so afraid of the tadpole and desperately needs reassurance. she's sad she's not a dragon rider and when you meet the giths she feels ashamed that they're not like she promised to the group.
she's sooo great. at first I just thought she's fun but the more you play the more genuinely charming she is
I made her pick eldritch knight so she could learn disguise and transform into a strong human man but the strong human man disguise is a Black person so I picked a strong half-elf man and it's okay. Her armor has a little elvish look to it.
For now she's obviously an unruly c**t but I see we can put her in her place and she calms down so I guess her character development is to educate her.
But I don't care, she's ugly.
>kill all the unarmed teifling citizens in the grove >”oh yeah I love the smell of a man after a long and hard fought battle. Don’t you dare wipe a single bead of sweat off of you”
What the frick is her problem?
There are pretty clearly lines that were recorded WAY earlier and sometime later, Im not at act 2 yet but thats what I'm betting on. The druid you rescue was literally going back and forth in mic quality.
her default class/kit is a bit moronic for her size and statue like shes my ownly fighter in the group i havce her wearing heavy armor and a frickign broadsword that 2x her size, she look like a damn child playing dress up "look daddy i can wear amor tooo and wing heavy sword" she probably shouldve been the rogue theif of the party not the big homosexual cringelord
Throw water everywhere and then shoot lighting at the water. Or just push her into abyss right away. Or kill her in one round when she initially runs away as a human.
i cant stand getting dice reroll popups for every frickgin thing all fcking days to be able to reroll what? like 2 dice rolls a day? i started off with salvia and i had to respec him to anything else
You're proving exactly my point on how good divination is and you don't even seem to realize it.

idiot, div sub comes at the cost of another sub's class feature you could be having instead. why bother picking div wizard if you can pick abj wizard and shit out tons of arcane ward while ALSO being able to do what div sub would be able to anyway by pressing fricking f5 and f8

Yeah, there was an elf corpse in the hag den. Didn't realize how fricking stacked elves are until then. Wish we could use our res scrolls on some of the bodies we find laying around.
Baldur's Gate better have an elf bawd in the brothel.
>get a cheeky idea for a very expensive cleric character >realize Resurrection isn't a spell in the game, and so you couldn't revive every dead NPC you stumble across
You should try killing Minthara, stripping her of her clothes, and then casting Speak with Dead on her. Or any other female companions. They're the only ones you're allowed to strip down.
Bro, you don't understand. It's not the fact that she's dead that's a turn on. It's just that that's the best way to get a close up of their naked bodies.
I don't really care for such headstrong characters, the constant "YOU SHOULD IGNORE THIS PROBLEM AND JUST DO AS I SAY" shit for everything I run across is super fricking annoying.
I agree that div is strong but honestly you should respec your wizard to a sorc and double haste double fireball shit. CC isn't worth dick on Tactician and hasting two melees is what robe boys should be doing to cut down fights.
Then you don't need to save scum individual monsters like some kind of ubercuck
Solasta didn't really have it this bad although they are hastebots for paladins in that game. Might be the low leveling speed, the amount of time we're spending at low level, and the 12 cap.
Martials rule this game, honestly and Light cleric>>
[...]
because I get Fireball for the down turns with also the OP cleric nukes and buffs.
Clerics don't get Haste which is the strongest buff spell in the game. But then again you should be using Sorcs instead of Wizards because they can Haste and shoot fireballs at the same time.
>Solasta didn't really have it this bad
Solasta had it even worse, damaging magic was fricking useless in it, all you did with casters was buff your barbarians.
I threw in the towel because wizard is just shit on tactician. CC doesn't land well enough to make it worth it and my best play is haste, so I changed mine into a sorc to get double haste. I went from raping fights to double raping fights.
wait a minute can you use twinned magic to sustain haste on two dudes?

yes lol
and then you can spend the rest of your fight throwing DOS BOLAS DE FUEGOS or better yet, lightning bolts because unlike wizard storm sorc is good as FRICK
double damage is no joke and it makes even his cantrips good damage
Pathfinder had a good balance though. A stacked Nenio could immediately end encounters with Weird but martials could also do some crazy shit like 10+ attacks a turn.
the easiest way through ToB was to haste a party of melees who blendered through the game lmao

Not really. Prepping spells is about as quick and mindless as clicking enemies is since endgame is all about using the same spells to disable and then nuke enemies.
What exactly is a Spell Attack Roll? Does this cover debuff spells and concentration spells that require the victim to roll saving throws? Will it make my enemies fail saving throws against, say Grease? Fireball? Spirit Guardians? Hunger of Hadar? Hold Person etc.??
Spell Attack Roll are for attack spells (no save). Example is Scorching Ray.
Spell DC is for guaranteed spells (no attack roll check, just saving throw). Example is Fireball.
she died in my playthrough because she left my party at mountain pass and I left, then returned few rests later to find she was killed. then i genocided the gith base.
I expected to absolutely fricking hate her but she is surprisingly endering and together with Shadowheart has probably the biggest character development in the game.
>says she wants to frick >get back to camp and she tries to slit my throat instead >don't get the sex cutscene after resting a couple of times >pick karlach after killing the gobbos >acts like a c**t but fricks me the next night anyway
I don't mind Gale. Isn't he just a nod to Elminster since his story is just Punished Elminster but instead of his Mystra dying and his city blowing up, he just gets his 'curse'?
i don't like gale because he wants to eat all your magic shit at a time when you barely have any and if you try to kill him to put an end to it he lmaos and deletes your save
I love the frog. at first I was leaning to karlach but her insecurity is so fricking cute. when you get scenes where something happened which she didn't expect you can see her tough façade crumble right in front of your eyes, you can see her looking left or right or to the floor, uncertain or what to say or what to do. she's so afraid of the tadpole and desperately needs reassurance. she's sad she's not a dragon rider and when you meet the giths she feels ashamed that they're not like she promised to the group.
she's sooo great. at first I just thought she's fun but the more you play the more genuinely charming she is
FROGBROS REIGN SUPREME
her character progression is fantastic and her personal quest gives you some pure kino fights
>every companion is a special homosexual of awesome background and unique storyline >they're all low level and get gibbed by goblins like everyone else
Critical Role and its consequences have been a disaster for the D&D community
karlach's engine is fricked up
wyll lost his residual warlock energy when abducted or something
shadowheart lost all her memories
gale got pegged by mystra
lae'zel is just a scrub githyanki fresh out of the creche
i don't know what astarion's deal is because i kill him every time i see him
He's a Vampire fledgling. If a Vampire bites you they can make you into one, but to become one proper they have to let you drink THEIR blood otherwise you're basically just their basic b***h slave.
Anon's just being a whiny moron.
The same way companions get super strong in the other games: murdering stuff. I don't care about having to contextualize levelling up if it leads to listening to all these ridiculous background stories from people who don't act in line with their background stories. The magic worm in our heads is enough context.
>it has to be nobodies who become demi-gods, not already strong people who got fricked over by the tadpole >REEE THEY ARE NOT VILLAGERS AND WEAKLINGS WHO BECOME GODS
Yeah it's kinda amazing how over the top they went.
See this Tiefling? She's like the personal murdermachine of the archidevil of hell. Also she has an infernal machine instead of a heart.
See this mage? Well he's literally so good the goddess of magic jumped on his dick. No really, he fricked a goddess. He somehow wasn't content with that and took some really ancient shadow magic to the face. Now he needs to eat magical artifacts or explode lmaaoooooo
The other ones are less ridiculous but jesus fricking christ.

Yes moron, because they need lower level members too

Oh yea thats right, I wonder if I could give my other eye to the hag, that seems pretty fricking funny, or maybe she will take the relic one and get mad
If she weren't a frontliner i wouldn't bother with her at all.
A very easy 10xp and her armor looks better on me. Should’ve recruited her first to get the underwear though
post her breasts
No breast slider, every girl has the same breast as the in-game drag queen necromancer.
They all look terrible.
what color are her nipples, at least? are they green? a skin contrasting pink?
>what color are her nipples
The drag queen necromancer? The frog? Which person are you talking about?
Not correct.
I find her funny, and getting her to accept the tadpole and fight against the gith with you felt like the biggest development of any character in the early game
>I find her funny
Holy terrible taste
I haven't played the game so stop me if there's a really good justification for it, but it bothers me that betraying her kind is being sold as a virtuous trait
they want to kill her and kill you
That's a good enough reason, thank you for elaborating
Her kind is evil aligned, and she only really "betrays" them after her goddess betrays her first. If her goddess was less of a moron she could have tricked her into doing her bidding easily, she was essentially the poster child fervent cultist.
Once I got Karlach I never bothered with her Grinch looking ass ever again.
Killed her as soon as I freed her from the cage and looted her plate armor as I was playing a fighter anyway.
Kek, I don't like her either, and if you're playing a Paladin or Fighter, her armor isn't bad looking; it's some free/easy heavy armor right off the bat. If you have no plans to recruit her or use her in your party, then killing her off seems reasonable.
>heavy armor
It's medium though.
She cucks you if you don't have enough strength
So be strong. Aren't you all alphas who PLAP PLAP PLAP any woman who crosses your path?
God ordered women to be obedient towards men because they are the inferior sex.
Bullshit, she wants to ride you the second you're out of the tutorial
Neither of these things are true, kind of impressive.
She didn't fly so well.
big areola
I like her breasts
Best grill. CUTE! The cutest. The scene where she rolls her eyes after being embarrassed by her lack of Prime Material knowledge is the best scene in the game.

Why you lying homosexual? Before you even get a chance to hit her back she surrenders saying that she loves you too much to duel you. Everything before and after the smite part is true tho.
HAHA you loser thats because you lost the fricking duel
shes literally GUSHING wet if you win idk how larian got away with it
My wife ended up stabbing her.
I thought she was just proving a point, but then she just did it, the absolute madwoman
Is it true they didn't make a SINGLE good companion in the game?
Vampire guy talks really good, and Gale is a bro even if he eats your magic items. Shadowheart is cute and I want to learn more about her.
So not a single good character?
Jesus christ
They are all good, I keep the Black person and the flame lady in my camp so I cant speak for them. Isn't three enough?
>They are all good
Not one you listed was good.
What do you think makes a companion good? Can you list some examples?
>Edwin is a LE human thayan, what makes him interesting is not his race, skin or disability it is quirks and is known for even been able to make friends with CG halflings
>X in BG3 is a vampire SPAWN/TIEFLING/SHAR FEMCEL/BLACK GUY/GITH AND THAT IS THERE PERSONALITY
Which one is more interesting?
Tell me a companion you like and was written well.
See Baldur's Gate 1 & 2
They did not need quirky joss whedon outsiders and fit the scenario very well without overshadowing the Bhaalspawn.
Who did you like in BG1 and BG2? I think you just hate new things.
Man there were a ton of companions in BG1 weren't there, man we went backwards in BG3.
Why cant you articulate which companions you like and why you like them?
Because there were so many good ones, it's hard to point out any as bad as the ones in BG3.
I accept your concession.
BG1's writing was minimal and amateur, but it served its purpose and there were a few good moments. I like Kivan, Atanis, Edwin, and Dynaheir. Imoen was likeable enough in 1 as well.
BG2 is where we get actual characterization and more depth. Most characters are written competently and some are written very well. Mazzy is great. Haer'dalis is great. The romances are all great for different reasons, even Anomen, who is also a fairly well written character. Frankly, the only terrible companion I can think of is Cernd since even Nalia improves after her quest. The only Reddit companions are Minsc, Jan, and Edwin and none of them overstay their welcome and all three of them are actually excellent party members.
You can cope all you like and say we're living in the past, but any honest comparison of the writing will show that BG3 is slop and BG2 had heart and soul, unironically.
Bg1 companions aren't shit. Bg2 is great though. That said I doubt people are pining for Nalia and Wyll is basically Valgyar but better and more interesting.
>Bg1 companions aren't shit
I mean, they are a LOT better than 3s.
>Baldur's Gate 1 & 2
Every fricking companion in those games is one quirky son of a b***h.
No, not everyone is Minsc, Tiax or Xzar and each of those are better than the BG3 companions.
Garrus from Mass Effect.
Garrus was a bro, hell yeah good choice. I had him in my party the whole story.
I feel like Garrus is almost unfair, as much as I like him, because his entire role is that he's a space cop/vigilante bro that pretty much has your back from day one. It's a lot harder to frick that up or make him unlikable whereas the same writer could struggle with the Gith companion that comes from a very different culture with genuine reasons to question you or think little of you.
Dude. The most memorable thing that happens to Edwin is his greedy ass gets an involuntary sex change for most of BG2. If you're going to argue "I like basic straightforward companions" pick someone like Keldorn or Korgan.
Oh, you need wacky hijinks for a companion to be good.
That sucks, I guess it's people like you I need to thank for all the gay shit in 3.
female writing
they do it so the origins have a unique aspect or story with things that a custom would be hard to do
like gale being a tax
or wylls patron being very obvert
same shit in dos2 where origin chars can get powers that custom dont
or
>they do it so the origins have a unique aspect
Right, so the characters have less character and are more defined by their race/class than their personality. Which is worse than BG1/2
they do it so you the player can either play and make up whatever story you like, or try something that needs more anchored arc
you perceive it to be worse because theyre all open ended for YOU to insert as
>they make the characters shit on purpose
But they were fine in BG1 & 2, why change it?
Nothing about Wyll's character has anything to do with his skin color. He's just a guy with daddy issues and a savior complex that got victimized by a devil under incredibly shitty circumstances.
>black guy with daddy issues
>nothing to do with skin color
Anon...
Ah shit
Are you kidding? Everything about his intro screamed that he expected reparations for muh slavery. It was so obvious that I straight up killed him.
Meds
Huh? He's the son of a wealthy duke turned hell-powered swashbuckler, there's no slavery in his backstory or even a single mention of the color of his skin at all.
Schizo
Intrinsic motivations beyond plot contrivance to go with the player. Background that includes interesting storytelling outside of moronic shoehorned lgbt romance options. Dialogue and voicing that is fitting to the time setting and species.
So far I had multiple chances to drop companions because they went against what I wanted. For example that vampire guy tried to drink my blood and I could kill him if I wanted too. Am I talking to a bot?
And a vampire that is a homosexual and wants to turn you into his pawn is a good companion how? He's murderfodder just by that alone. Almost all the characters are frontloaded onto the player for no other reason than "hey you are a chosen eyeball parasite carrier too! We should frick". The first act where we get character dumps is some of the most horrendous storytelling of any rpg I've witnessed. No I am not a bot
>No I am not a bot
Exactly what a bot would say
>And a vampire that is a homosexual and wants to turn you into his pawn is a good companion how?
I think he has some good writing and voice acting, his character is very compelling. I had a few chances to kill him so far but decided to keep him around to see where his story goes. I do agree that a lot of characters get dumped on you pretty quickly, but once I got past that it is a pretty interesting story. I'm sorry about the bot comment, I figured you didnt speak English as your first language.
His story might be compelling in a "whats this crazy homosexual vampire going to do to his teammates next" kind of way, but it absolutely makes no sense from a writing perspective for him to be an ally. Unless you're role-playing as a complete fricking moron with 2 int, there's no reason anyone would allow him into their circle
Yeah even as another evil character he just feels like a total liability. I told that cool gypsy monster hunter where he was the second I got the option to (wish we could have that guy instead, the party could use a canon Ranger).
Isn't Minsc a ranger?
Is he? Thought he was a barbarian in previous games, haven't gotten to Act 3 yet.
>Unless you're role-playing as a complete fricking moron with 2 int
This seems to be the baseline for a lot of story driven rpgs.
He has a worm in his head just like you do. He wants to live despite all that happened to him. It makes sense to me.
Just because he has a worm in his head doesn't make him a good companion. He undermines your decision making at every turn and he tries to turn you into his thrall. He also has valley girl gay accent which is abhorrent and anachronistic.
Yeah, and you can kill him when you get annoyed with him and get someone else to replace him. Whats the problem?
There isn't a problem with me killing he just isn't a well written character for all the above reasons.
Him having a worm in his head makes him have something in common with you, and you both want to survive. You both now have a common cause and band together to figure all your issues out together for better or worse. Thats what I took away from it anyway.
>I keep the Black person and the flame lady in my camp so I cant speak for them
lmao same
can you add halsin to the party? hes just in my camp chilling but itd be cool if he could fight
Getting close to rescuing him, I'm not sure.
Not until a little ways into Act 2 but he's a total bro.
The vampire and gale are both homosexuals. Terrible companions with stupid dialogue. Karlach backstory is interesting but the Gabe her cringe Black folkpeak slang dialogue so I want to kill her as well
>but the Gabe her cringe Black folkpeak slang dialogue so I want to kill her as well
Not sure what you mean here, but they are both voice acted well and are keeping me interested throughout act 1. I'm compelled to keep playing because the story is interesting and your party has stuff to say between encounters. Whats your problem with it?
I mean her actual lines are moronic and sound like zoomer Black folkpeak instead of something a bloodthirsty tiefling would say
Ah, I didnt get that far yet. You might be right, she is sitting in my camp right now.
She literally says "frick yeah!" At least 3 times when you first meet her. Don't zoomed writers have any literary sense? It's actually really disheartening thinking no one who wrote characters for this game ever touched classical literature or learned any background lore into d&d and tieflings and how they might speak or swear.
Once I get that far I can speak on this, but I think you are exaggerating.
Just go watch a video of her intro dialogue and quest chain. She speaks like a 15 yr old fortnite kiddie
>Just go watch a video of her
Nah, I'm gonna play the game and find out for myself.
She's not bloodthirsty. She's a street urichin that fell in with the bad crowd and had demons instead of street scum get their hands on her. She is happy she doesn't have to do the bidding of devils anymore and is just happy to be alive. It makes sense she would speak like street trash because she IS street trash. She is not going to talk like fricking Kain of Nosgoth because her education ended at "I read a book once when I was 5".
Shadowheart, Minthara, Gale when he's not trying to frick you
gale has the most appreciation but he hasn't done anything to frick me
So you can't name a single good companion?
So you can't make a single sincere argument that isn't disingenuous shitposting?
Idk haven't recruited halsin jaheira or minsc they might be good, or shit
If I have karlach and wyll in my party can I still get minthara? Are they an lgbt character or no? I don't want any token characters in my party
I think only Halsin and Minthara are completely mutually exclusive. Everyone is playersexual so they're only potentially gay if you're the same gender as them (you're not playing a woman, right anon?).
I have Halsin and Minthara. You can get both at the start of act 2 if you never activated the grove raid and left halsin in the goblin camp. Then you can get Minthara at Moonrise Towers dungeon and Halsin from the Last Light Inn's Wake Up Art Cullugh quest. Just go back to goblin camp where you left Halsin and tell him about Art and he pops up there at which point you finish the quest and can recruit him
Huh, neat. Feels like that isn't an intended interaction though, or do they actually have party dialogue together?
Probably not, but idk yet. recruiting halsin was the last thing I've done so I haven't check to see if Minthara gives an opinion on him like she does for the other companions
Dang, guess you can get all the party members then.
No, Minthara locks you out of Karlach, Wyll and Halsin I think
>minthara locks you out
But I met Karlach first? Should I kill her? Where is minthara
Minthara is the bad guy, you need to betray the druid grove and join up with the goblins to kill Karlach's people, afterward she hates you and sits on a rock waiting for you to kill her to get a cool sword
Wyll and Karlach stay if you recruit Minthara at Moonrise Towers instead of the Goblin Raid
How does that work? Do you just skip the whole goblin/grove conflict?
Yes
How much of it can you progress though, upto killing the two other leaders but not her or do you have to stop earlier?
I'm not gay but I enjoy gale gayvampire and shadowheart.druid is cool. The rest are wack
Left her in the cage. She is a b***h and she deserves to die. Life is suffering for everyone, and you cant go around antagonizing everyone.
i pumped and dumped her
now romancing shadowheart
I want to frick her.
Cute. Theres something about angry tomboy girls that make my dick diamonds
smaller mouth and she'd look acceptable
She came onto me and I rejected her, I thought it would be way harder to romance her but she tried to jump on me really quick
The true question is how the frick do you romance Karlach. I've restarted twice in act 1 because somehow it seems I just can't even get the kiss scene working right.
the greenskin manages to be more amusing than annoying kind of like a female vegeta.
shadow the hedgehog is the most normal party member and quite pleasant.
the homosexual elf is very obnoxious so far and I'm leaning on camping him 24/7 or killing him soon.
karlach is in fact pretty reddit and oc donutsteel. might kill.
wyll is boring as frick and just lame.
gale is kinda cool.
Glad I went Minthara instead of Wyll or Karlach, everyone seems to hate them especially the latter.
>the homosexual elf is very obnoxious so far and I'm leaning on camping him 24/7 or killing him soon.
Thats what i did, frick that edgy contrarian
this game would be better if you could customize the race gender and appearance of every companion
I refuse male companions if I can
But you already have 3 female ocs that i know of already?
but I should have more to choose from
Talk to that mummy/zombie/whatever thing, i think you can hire mercs from him if you really must have more
Yeah it's annoying that frog has a bush.
You'd think a highly disciplined toad would have better grooming habits.
Sweat and smell are more aromatic with hair
Annoying strong women who acts like she don't need no man.
I can't take female warriors seriously.
I started enjoying her near the end when she finally tells her Queen to frick off. She became much softer to the party in general near the end but I did do a moralgay playthrough
She said she would rape me at night and still hasn't done it so I'm sad
Shadowfart hopped on my wiener and her personality changed to being obsessed with me.
Frog hopped on my wiener and continued being a b***h that does her own thing.
I'm more of a pump n dump kinda guy so I prefer the frog.
a hole's a hole.
i slit her throat after she tried to slit mine
Best girl easily. Shadowflops need not apply
Worst girl, I'd even rather bang the drow
I want her to spit in my mouth and beat me senseless
The vampire elf is super useful, because he's a rogue. He's an auto include in any party for me due to locks and traps yielding their tender boypussies to his crooked touch.
Rogues are kinda garbage
Rogues are essential for trapping. If you go arcane trickster your rogue will also have tye second highest ac in the party second only to full tank sword and board heavy armor guy.
Rogues aren't essential for anything unless you want to stealth crit every combat encounter which takes about 3x as long as just smite critting everything to shit
Shadowheart works fine for locks and traps. So does Laezal because of gith ability to specialize anything at a whim
killed on sight
I just beat the inquisitor and went into the room next to him and she suddenly went hostile without warning what the FRICK
I wiped out the entire gith creche and had her questioning her queen at the end. You goofed somewhere. Make sure you don't kill your protector in the Astral plane and tell Laezal they're planning to kill her before returning
>Make sure you don't kill your protector in the Astral plane
What happens if you do this? I did but also told frog they were going to kill her and we escaped the Creche. Will frog stay in the party still?
I made that stupid decision, I just assumed she was some evil entity manipulating me
Is there any class that out-dps's pure 2-handed fighter? She's doing way more damage than my warlock, paladin, rogue, barbarian, etc. Wizard is comparable but magic is less consistent and has to rest after every combat encounter which is fricking tedious. Haven't played with druid or monk yet. Im level 7 and Laezal is taking out like 3 enemies per tune while everyone else maybe takes out 1 if they aren't focused on CC or buffs
there is no class in the game that can out dps a pure, buffed to the moon 2 handed fighter
I'm playing as a Gith, because that's clearly the canon race to play as, and decided to romance her, and the special Gith options make it definitely worth it.
But are you a Cleric + Paladin of Vlakkith?
I let her get killed when she was in that cage, her nose to lip distance really bothers me so I didnt like her
Do any of the "rival"pairs ever end up getting along? Like frog and shadow for example.
Why the hell would you want them to? The best thing about crpg party banter is passive aggressive shitflinging.
I thought she was a gross frog at first but after time her refreshingly straightforward and honest nature won me over, I wish women were like this in real life.
Once you get to the mountain pass and make her realize her "goddess queen" is literally just raising her people as spiritual livestock to fuel her ascension to actual goddess she gets a lot more tolerable and it was pretty satisfying having her come to terms with the fact that her entire culture is founded on a lie.
Wait, what if I went from the underdark?
You can go back and do the Mountain Pass at any point before the very clearly labeled Point of No Return in Act 2.
I took the elevator to the dark area from the underdark is what I meant, wasn't that the "point of no return"?
Isnt the mountain path another point of no return?
No, once you're in the dark-infested zone you can freely go back to the Underdark, Mountain Pass, or the starting zone to do things you may have missed (except main story stuff).
It's not a point of no return, the prompt to Act 2 is just a warning that enemies are going to be much higher level
Oh really?
Not him, you can in fact return but it does end some quests related to characters that end up going to the new area
I let Shadowheart kill her
I want someone to record this scene but with both of them naked
She's so fricking ugly I really can't understand motherfrickers going all "UUUUUUUUUWUUUU COOOOM I CAN'T WAIT TO JERK OFF TO THIS FRICKING UGLY ASS SHIT" like have some fricking standards man. I'd honestly rather you be into e-girl than this shit
>I really can't understand motherfrickers going all "UUUUUUUUUWUUUU COOOOM I CAN'T WAIT TO JERK OFF TO THIS FRICKING UGLY ASS SHIT"
Those are shills and astroturfers.
She looks bat boy got a bad nose job. Why didn't they just give her a gorilla nose or something if they wanted her to look alien/nonhuman?
Githyanki aren't something Larian came up with. She's actually a beautified version of them. They're normally lanky, ruddy, yellow-skinned morlocks with squashed bat noses.
I'm not hating her as much as I thought I would at the start
My squad will probably end up being her, Shadowheart, Wyll, and PCdruid
I'm tempted to give her a a shot but everything about her rubs me the wrong way since I tend to play a decent dude in RPGs
>Save the tiefling child the druids are holding captive because holding a little kid captive and threatening to have a snake eat her is a b***h move
>Frog c**t disapproves because... I guess she's just a c**t like that
Karlach I at least get along with.
Gith culture is evil as shit, she goes on about how during her childhood training she killed like ~4 of her classmates and how that's just how it is, killing kids to her is probably just another Tuesday. It's more strange how alright with genocide Shart is, she's the most pansy ass Shar cultist you'll meet in the game.
FROGO SEXO
For me, it's Karlach she's cool
Karlach and the barbarian class just keep growing on me more and more
>Fight with Minthra
>Got Karlach frenzied and holding the bridge while the rest of my party fights her
>two goblins coming
>one of the goblins leaps the gap to get to the rest of my party
>Have Karlach grab the goblin she was currently fighting and hurl it at the other goblin
>kills the one she was fighting, deals pretty good damage to the other and knocks it prone
Shit was great
She just carried the fight against "the certain creature that sports multiple sets of eyes" drow poison is op, dunno of I got lucky with it failing saves though. 3 turns of crit melees destroyed it. The reddit dance caught me off guard though.
Trying to decide whether to swap out Gale for Wyll. Do I necessarily need a wizard in my party if I've got a warlock?
>Do I necessarily need a wizard in my party if I've got a warlock?
not really. you only need one magical dps.
Wasn't she more evil in the beta? She is a good guy now, but I could have sworn she was almost chaotic evil before.
She starts off acting chaotic evil but becomes a big softie by the end of act 1
Ok. The second I realized I had just bought a game that wasn't finished, I dropped it and waited for its release. I just remember her being so much more evil originally.
>chaotic
?????????????
Bard, paladin,warlock, throwing barb
Simple as
4 gwm fighters with misty step
Simple as
sentinel + polearm master is better
Lol
2h swords do more damage than polearms. You lose damage dies by gaining reach.
the reach is irrelevant. you get way more attacks per a round with polemarm master
not an argument
>way more attacks
>one weaker attack
Just pick all 3.
>>Just pick all 3.
you can't. you need to take the +2 str skill feat at least once, especially if you killed Astarion and cucked yourself out of the permanent +2 to strength potion like I did
She's alright if you side with her a lot, if you don't side with her she fronts like crazy and is just asking to fricking die. She has an annoying tendency to temporarily leave the party and then over encumber me since all her shit ends up in my backpack magically. So far Astarion is probably the most amusing, Minthara the best gril with Shart being a close second. Karlach and Wyll became immediate worm food since I'm too ebul, so no strong opinions on them. I imagine the BG2 returning companions will also be hostile towards me.
Getting Lae'zel to accept the tadpoles was satisfying
I'm level 7 and still feel like im trying to figure out what I want my party to be
Didn't even find her, got to act 2 and was like, wait shouldn't I have gotten that ugly b***h as a companion lmao
lmao, she's trapped in a cage by some Tiefling hunters in the starting area near the Druid camp. That's hilarious that you missed her. Not entirely undeserved fate for her imo
She's an unlikable c**t.
Ancients Paladin or Lore Bard for a tact playthrough?
They're both cool, but cutting words is so absurdly good
You get like 4 uses per short rest and you also have song of rest so thats 12 cutting words at 18 cha before having to sleep
Respeccing is absurdly cheap anyway so you can just switch to ancients paladin if you aren't digging it
Lore Bard, great utility and kiting/rebuff potential for enemies in general + can melt enemies like casters if you’re smart with your other class spell picks
Ancients is solid on other difficulties but on tact it’s a less-effective cleric and less-effective fighter rolled into one
Lore bard sucks dicks and the secrets are bad
Swords bard is GOAT
Swords bard blows, enjoy being less effective than even a rogue
>enjoy being less effective than even a rogue
lmao moron
I'll enjoy my 9 attacks per round 3 times a long rest
Soon to be 11. I can miss half and it doesn't matter. Maybe I'll turn off Sharpshooter one day or bother with Bless. Maybe.
Have fun using BAs to try get back into stealth to do 1 (one) more offhand xbow attack.
so where's your webm showing off your 9 attacks a round, theifbro? I mean, Swords suck right? Thief is king?
I liked her a lot more after I found a helmet to hide her hideous face
best girl i find her funny and HOT also battlemaster fighter with great weapon master, feinting attack and evasive footwork is a great class that makes me think of witchers
I like how she wants to have some conan tier sex with me and she's jaelous that i frick shadowheart instead
This gityanki c**t got so uppity with me that I killed her and I have been genociding her entire race.
Nothing will ever hit me.
And I'm a wizard
>"based tradpilled" anons when they go back in time to the middle ages and find everyone cursing
You mean when saying something like "God damn you" actually had weight as a curse because everyone was hyper religious?
Dipshits if fricking swear.
Depends on your social class, and who you are talking to.
Frick wouldn't have been profanity at the time, and also profanity is objectively more common today than it was then.
Look at footage even from the 60's you utter moron. Even the 80's and 90's. It's a world of difference in intellect, wit, social ability and politeness compared to Black folkpeak everyone does now. You are dumb.
>It's a world of difference in intellect, wit, social ability and politeness compared to Black folkpeak everyone does now. You are dumb
How big is your fedora collection?
Reminds me of how Catullus has a poem where he literally says "I'll assrape and facefrick you" in Latin. And poetry was exclusively an artform for the elites, so you can't even cope that it's commoners.
metal heads when I plant magnets in their backyard
If she were an anime character all the weebs would be like OMG SO TSUNDERE BEST WAIFU
Yeah, if a woman is cute I like her, if a woman looks disgusting I don't, dumb frogfricker.
Frog is cuter than shadowfart,she has the most beautiful eyes. You can also "cheat" and make her wear a veil like the gith grill did in nwn2 and make the cute froggo irresistible to white red blooded males.
Yeah but instead she's the Trinch
She grew on me and her story is pretty good.
Is necromancer fun
It's a normal wizard that's better at using necromancy spells, and plays like a normal wizard 95% of the time.
They're really weak until you get to level 6, and even then, the zombie minions still feels kind of weak unless you can kill weaker enemies with them so they create more zombies so you can overwhelm your enemies.
Also it's annoying that other NPC keeps running away from you when they see your undead minions.
use the spell on high level high HP guys
you get beefy as frick minions
Left her to die accidentally at the beginning lol
I knew she was a cutie IRL, you fricken idiots don´t even understand basic bone structure hurr durr she ugly she is green.
The frog has no nose
That means she is inherently the LEAST israeli of all companions.
>Celestial Nose, also called the 'upturned nose', this nasal form predominates in northern European countries
My green wife has a cute bat like nose. And you're just jelly.
I always thought that I could frick a bat faced woman if she was hot, and this just proves it to me.
She's ugly and she's a b***h.
dead, along with karlach
>Siding with the Frogs
>Ever
Oh yeah sure, rescue their "prince" and surely he'll be able to overthrow her and her ability to cast Wish at will with no consequences. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuurely.
I kinda like the vampire guy
>miss two of my shots because I am firing uphill, have Sharpshooter on, am not stealth/haven't got my buffs yet
>still kill the moron in one turn
>still have one shot to use
I guess the downside to the class is that the spell list turned out to be shit and bard spells are pretty goddamn worthless on Tactician
>hmmmm do I want to try for a CC at 40% or outright kill 1-2 people?
>HMMMMMMM
Bards are pretty cool if you're into the class fantasy. Then again that fight was pretty easy, to the point I thought it was a trash fight and it turns out the wiki has it as a boss kek
every fight has been easy as shit. I killed both beholders in one round.
I respec'd my barb into a monk 2 levels ago because throwing was just so broken. The damage appears to be working as intended (x2 STR mod) but the accuracy is busted. Shit is like 95% even way outside of range.
yeah the game is very easy that's why I think class fantasy >> minmaxin
just reasonably optimize your build, don't be a moron and you'll faceroll through most fights
My only complaint so far other than I wish they had labeled the romance options like other games do so 'checking out some magic' with Gale didn't turn homosexual as frick for some reason in a conversation that started about his fricking goddamn GIRLFRIEND. Swen said tactician would own us but that is just not true unless you are mentally handicapped.
Agree, I don't think romance was done that well in general
I've been doing Paladin/Bard instead of Sorcadin just because the Bard dialogue options are typically pretty fun and I like being able to whip out and play instruments between turns.
I don't know about that. Bard has a pretty good spelllist and secrets are some of the best spells in the game
>Early game spells: Healing Word, Heroism, Sleep
>Midgame: Glyph of Warding, Fear, level 6 secrets
>Endgame: Level 10 secrets
fear has like 40% chance to land
glyph of warding, in this game, is LOL
oh boy, haste and counterspell as my capstone and I already have someone for haste so I didn't go 5 levels without it! YIPEE!
or
frick that shit, 4 levels of fighter, give me a feat, give me +2 to ranged, give me action surge, and give me a raging boner as I one shot bosses
The choice for me is very clear
I hate women but she's the best companion. Only one without a shitty mary sue backstory, actually has character growth, good voice acting, and is actually relevant to the plot untlike Gale and Wyll who could be in their own games with their own stories.
Character would be better if he was a man though. Wonder how long until a mod for that.
>this spacing
hey homosexual
still dreaming of bearded dwarf men?
Calm down troony. Not our fault you hate being a man so you use the game to roleplay you're a dyke.
I don't hate men, I just don't want to frick dwarf men like you
> Now he's larping as a woman even in Ganker
Oh god you trannies truly are embarrassing.
>doesn't even deny it
when did you start having sexual fantasies about short bearded men?
is that related to your hate for women?
so far from all your schizoid homosexial posts I am assuming you were raped as a child
I love Shadowcutie so much it's unreal
I'm happy you get to fulfill your trans dyke urges in game!
used goods
>drop her out of the box
>thanks to prior meetings already have some of her trust
>decapitate her and wear her armor
Just found out if you click an empty equipment slot it'll show you all the equipment you have for that slot.
Kind of upset I just discovered this midway through act 3 but better late than never.
>wrpg players find this character attractive
I've never been able to put my finger on why exactly cRPG games never clicked with me, but now I realize you guys just have something wrong with your brains.
A combination of cool backstory and c**t personality make Astarion the best origin character to play.
Honestly considering doing that for my full evil (non-Durge) playthrough.
I actually meant that specifically because you don't have to be a c**t if you play as him.
Yeah but being a smarmy c**t is fun.
Yeah but killing and torturing people for lulz isn't.
yeah but your backstory is still you were sodomized and degraded by another homosexual for 10 years
> playing a vampire
> an elf vampire
> AN ELF VAMPIRE ROGUE
NOOOPEEEEEEEEE
I killed him immediately after he tried to feed from me.
granted I'm a rogue myself and I don't need any of that shit, and it also felt appropriate for my character to do.
Uhh, is there a way to fix this or should I not have gone there?
This is your life now
No it isn't
F8
The good version is if you pass all the checks then your brain worm spells become bonus actions instead of actions
Is it just me or are orc racials kinda bonkers
100% but I am dickslapping the game on tact as human so whatever kek
Using consumables is cheating btw
I legitimately forget that I even have them. I've been carrying so many and I think I should just sell them at this point.
So, is there fricking nothing to do at the creche besides commiting hate crimes or giving them the artifact? I still don't fricking know if I side with the guardian, the gith, or if I have another option
I sided with the Gith and still had to kill the Gith.
Killed her because she wouldn't agree to keep the artifact and instead simped for her queen.
Never mind, she can stop being a stupid c**t and just massacre the githgays instead, lmao.
>Turn on turn based mode
>Npcs im not even near still turn randomly for no reason
Can you buttholes stay still im trying to steal
I'm skipping all the brain parasite powers for the first playthrough, hopefully it has some kind of pay off
I’m playing an autistic gith girl who’s bored with pillaging and murdering and is now walking around the material plane like a Chinese tourist indulging in everything like smearing shit across her face thinking it was goblin tradition and not a cruel joke.
Gith roleplaying is unironically fricking great.
There are so many Gith dialogue options, too.
How are the romances. can I go on dates and move in together to share a bed with my romance options? Or is it just
>click options
>get sex scene a few hours later
>leave camp
>this happens
Rocks fall you die
>Not having a character who can Burrow
YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE
>thing about to burst out of the ground
>game auto enters turn based mode
>crowd your characters around it
lol.
I did the same thing the first time in EA though.
I had actually just loaded back in after a long rest, so not really any time to react. If this is a scripted thing then that's less bad I guess. I was trying to go help one of the other up be she decided to just walk into it as well. The ground/aoe effects in this game are so fricking crusty. Being b***h slapped off the cliff was a nice bonus.
Wait a second.
The creche makes me want a level 20 expansion that lets me kill the b***h queen.
doesn't look like something a straight men would play
>a straight men
Tell me you're a tranime SEApedo without telling me you're a tranime SEApedo.
Easily the best companions, shes a real sweetheart that comes around and enjoys the idea of the whole party than most
Gentlemen
How worth it is taking tavern brawler for a throwing weapons build? I just found the pike that returns to you when you throw it on my berserker and I think I'm in love.
>tell her to frick off
>she joins the Gith squad that hunts Shadowheart down, the one with a dragon
NEXT TIME I'M FRICKING SNAPPING HER NECK
Is it possible to have Lae'zel and Shadowheart in the team together without constantly tanking approval ratings?
yeah the real challenge is keeping vampire happy
He seems like an annoying gay so I don't want him anyway, that's good. Been using Karlach as my frontliner and god, she is insufferable.
Yes, the zoophile vampire is the one who's a c**t.
>hello im a hero
>oh no you found out that I made an evil pact!
>I was forced into it so I could save my friends and city!
>I am a hero
the rewrite made him even more boring
I like Lae'zel more than I expected to after hating her for the entirety of early access. She really tones down her c**ty behavior after act 1 and almost never disapproved of anything I did as a goody-two-shoes Paladin. She even liked some of my altruistic acts for some reason.
My frog is cuter though.
Your frog is actually cute
>no one posted her sex scene(s?)
Why? The only one I've seen so far is Minthara's and it's pretty tame, you guys led me to believe this game was basically porn
>this game was basically porn
It's shitposting. It has about as much sex as Mass Effect.
Bros spoil me
Is there a consequence to using tadpole powers?
I want to know before I go full moron
Just listen to your dream waifu and everything will be fine
Can someone tell me if the dream guardian is good guy or bad guy?
I am at the part where they told me to absorb another tadpole, kinda sus ngl.
It's not as simple as good or bad. If you want full spoilers, they're a liberated mindflayer. Also he's a dude.
just keep playing and do what your character would do nerd
I told the b***h to say please when letting her out of the cage.
She said no.
I left her there.
So I have no thoughts on her what so ever.
She's pretty cool but b***h wouldn't sleep with my female character and called her a loose bawd.
Favorite character so far, probably. I want to keep her around her as well as Lestat and Minthara but I'm afraid my (cleric) spells won't trivialize the game as hard as Gale's currently are.
So, can I take on the "sweet little old lady" at level 4? The musroom men oneshot shadowheart at full hp and 26ac with the drop klck. she ran, but the rest of the fight went fine. I took care of floaty-many-eyes and came out the back way, so Im tempted to believe this is on the same level.
You can kill her at level 1 if you're cool with pushing her into a pit. Otherwise yeah, I'd say level 4 at least, maybe 3 if you're not playing on tactician.
I didn't meet her until I found the githyanki patrol (who meekly scurried away after some stern words from my barbarian). She's been a complete c**t the whole time and I'm inclined to let the cleric slit her throat the next time they cat fight.
ribbit
Fighters are boring so I immediately benched her.
she actually forces you to eat her out if you fail a roll lmao. I just got done having a duel with her in camp and then we made out
>see the devs pole fun st players for playing human
>a half elf, gay elf, two human males are the first Companions you find
>they all act interchangeably like a human would
>tiefling is hours into the game
>you can unlock another human companion later
It was always clickbait to get dumb journalists to shill the game for free.
Not even that, it always just felt like just an offhand comment of them wanting people to use some of the different shit they put in. It's natural that a dev working on character customization would want to see cool custom characters. It's kind of weird how much outrage it generated given that I distinctly remember people on here making fun of normalgays that only play generic good-aligned characters and saying it's why you'll never get good alien PCs or decent evil campaigns years before.
Damn Aloy somehow even uglier in Horizon 3
>Cheat on Shadowheart with Mizora
>She catches us the morning after
>She's cool with me fricking demons so long as I don't forget to frick her too
How can anybody else even compete?
You don't even frick Mizora, it's a wienerblock.
i think romancing the frog locks you out of getting anything with karlach at least. maybe even shadowheart as well. only the dudes have been hitting on me its annoying af
When the hell does Halsim actually join your party? I'm already in act 2 and he just hangs around the camp
This. I'm in act 2 and already met Jaheria, who is art? Can I get him at the moment right now?
Further along Act 2.
Before you start Act 2 but he only joins if you don't kill the dyke Isobel and you cure the land from the curse.
you have to do his quest first
Lae'zel just seems like a writer's pet waifu character, so that puts me off
I'm not a gay Black person, sorry
How do you get the expanded UI with 4 rows instead of two?
She looks like a frog i fricked earlier
Ugly and has that BioWare quirkiness. Also sex positive empowered feminist shit.
0/10
i don't really get karlach. so she was forced to fight in the demon army but did she still kill the innocents after she escaped? are the paladins she wants you to kill afterwards actually evil or what?
They are. She says as much when you confront her and when you confront the paladins about it in turn they drop all pretense and attack you. Wyll easily changes his mind about her because of that.
she didnt kill innocents it was probably the gnolls or corrupt paladins
I really wanted to like Karlach but her writing is so bad. It reminds me of forspoken with all of her obnoxious reddit quips. Also I think she breaks the fourth wall too. At 11:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfa5K4SsMYE
I felt like I was getting a mixed bag of approvals and disapprovals from her, maybe slightly in my favor, but I'm only at the fricking goblin camp and she's already trying to frick. what a hoe
Frog does become cute as you go through the game
>be Wyll
>trying to sleep
>hear the sounds of Tav fricking your patron waifu
>Lae'zel and Shadowheart are pleasing themselves to the sound of Tav's 20 STR thrusts
>"Wyll disapproves"
I love the frog. at first I was leaning to karlach but her insecurity is so fricking cute. when you get scenes where something happened which she didn't expect you can see her tough façade crumble right in front of your eyes, you can see her looking left or right or to the floor, uncertain or what to say or what to do. she's so afraid of the tadpole and desperately needs reassurance. she's sad she's not a dragon rider and when you meet the giths she feels ashamed that they're not like she promised to the group.
she's sooo great. at first I just thought she's fun but the more you play the more genuinely charming she is
FROGBROS REIGN SUPREME
Tbh no woman belongs in a warband and they get the hammer.
Pretty sure all the characters in the game are more manly than you. Why are you in the warband?
Are there any other companions in act 2 other than Haslin and Minthara? Any new ones in act 3?
I made her pick eldritch knight so she could learn disguise and transform into a strong human man but the strong human man disguise is a Black person so I picked a strong half-elf man and it's okay. Her armor has a little elvish look to it.
For now she's obviously an unruly c**t but I see we can put her in her place and she calms down so I guess her character development is to educate her.
But I don't care, she's ugly.
>my DEX 10 Paladin has the lowest AC in the party
Fug, where do I get some heavy armor?
>kill all the unarmed teifling citizens in the grove
>”oh yeah I love the smell of a man after a long and hard fought battle. Don’t you dare wipe a single bead of sweat off of you”
What the frick is her problem?
>What the frick is her problem?
Brainwashing like every other female party member.
Btw if you are Dragonborn you get loads of funny dialogue with her when you fulfill her dream of being Kith’rak.
Did Karlach's voice actor change in act 2?
There are pretty clearly lines that were recorded WAY earlier and sometime later, Im not at act 2 yet but thats what I'm betting on. The druid you rescue was literally going back and forth in mic quality.
The jarring differences in audio quality between some lines is one of my major complaints about the first act, Frankenstein's monster ass dialogue.
Are ingots ever used, I've been hoarding a frickton of silver ingots
They’re used to get money from traders :*~~
how do i avoid killing or running off frog in chapter 2
i love my hotwife
I miss my giant mole monster so fricking much bros
her default class/kit is a bit moronic for her size and statue like shes my ownly fighter in the group i havce her wearing heavy armor and a frickign broadsword that 2x her size, she look like a damn child playing dress up "look daddy i can wear amor tooo and wing heavy sword" she probably shouldve been the rogue theif of the party not the big homosexual cringelord
Shadowheart killed her. I'm not even mad, I've been killing frogs all game.
So uh bros, where is the frog if you forgot to pick her up and the cage is empty and the two tieflings are dead
haha just asking
All the way to the northwest
Frogs jump far
is that gaben in your party and how the frick do you kill aunt ethie x4 150hp
You don't. You hit the clones once and they disappear. Or you know which one the real one is, and just kick off into the pit for the instant win.
well then i shall try again my party got split and i got insta melted so i nopped out seeing 4x 100+hp ethies maybe even 5
lose items if you do that, no?
They're illusions anon. One hit dispels them.
Throw water everywhere and then shoot lighting at the water. Or just push her into abyss right away. Or kill her in one round when she initially runs away as a human.
Does she mellow out as the game goes on or does she keep acting like a c**t to everyone
It seems like she mellows out, I finished the gith base area and she seems a lot more chill.
>level 6 necro wizard feature
okay NOW I feel like Gale isn't the dead weight in my group
should have made him a divination wizard
Feels great to see a crit from a boss coming your way, and forcing him to miss entirely instead.
i cant stand getting dice reroll popups for every frickgin thing all fcking days to be able to reroll what? like 2 dice rolls a day? i started off with salvia and i had to respec him to anything else
2 dice rolls per long rest, which becomes 3 dice rolls per SHORT rest at level 6.
This is actually more busted than an army of undead. You can force control spells on any enemy you want and completely trivialize any threat.
i was too annoyed by every attack giving a popup draging things down to a crawl
if it was liek a 10/20move spell i could toggle in some way id be fine
lol
literally how is anything a div wizard can do any different from pressing f5 f8
fricking lmao
You're proving exactly my point on how good divination is and you don't even seem to realize it.
redundant
idiot, div sub comes at the cost of another sub's class feature you could be having instead. why bother picking div wizard if you can pick abj wizard and shit out tons of arcane ward while ALSO being able to do what div sub would be able to anyway by pressing fricking f5 and f8
>he save scums in battle
oh i am laffin
you didn't beat the game
you didn't even beat the battle
>finishes act 3 with 3000 hours /played
LOL
>if you savescum you didn't beat the game
>except you should savescum and pick a different subclass
never change Ganker
I am not opposed to respeccing him since I don't NEED the zombies but I am afraid of losing all the spells I scribed so far
i really wish i picked fricking gith as my race. they're like saiyans with dragons and their armour and weapons are sick. mod to change race when.
Am i permanently locked out of her romance if i told her the fling is over? She was pretty mad at the party.
If you could piss on her I'd like her more.
She sucks my dick. Still waiting for the mod that allows you to loot underwear of companions you kill though.
WTF?
Need elf romance jesus
is that speak to dead? anon are you actually becoming a necrophiliac?
>is that speak to dead?
Yeah, there was an elf corpse in the hag den. Didn't realize how fricking stacked elves are until then. Wish we could use our res scrolls on some of the bodies we find laying around.
Baldur's Gate better have an elf bawd in the brothel.
>get a cheeky idea for a very expensive cleric character
>realize Resurrection isn't a spell in the game, and so you couldn't revive every dead NPC you stumble across
You should try killing Minthara, stripping her of her clothes, and then casting Speak with Dead on her. Or any other female companions. They're the only ones you're allowed to strip down.
bro
Bro, you don't understand. It's not the fact that she's dead that's a turn on. It's just that that's the best way to get a close up of their naked bodies.
>Speak with Dead
>You have 5 questions
>"Would you frick me?"
Speak with the dead doesn't work on people you've killed personally iirc.
I don't really care for such headstrong characters, the constant "YOU SHOULD IGNORE THIS PROBLEM AND JUST DO AS I SAY" shit for everything I run across is super fricking annoying.
>he save scums in battle
for all intents and purposes that is what portent dice do lmfao. pot calling kettle black
>it...it's the..s.same...
LOL he's mad as frick
I agree that div is strong but honestly you should respec your wizard to a sorc and double haste double fireball shit. CC isn't worth dick on Tactician and hasting two melees is what robe boys should be doing to cut down fights.
Then you don't need to save scum individual monsters like some kind of ubercuck
is it just me or are casters in 5e complete cucks compared to Pathfinder casterGODS?
Concentration is a fricking annoying mechanic.
Solasta didn't really have it this bad although they are hastebots for paladins in that game. Might be the low leveling speed, the amount of time we're spending at low level, and the 12 cap.
Martials rule this game, honestly and Light cleric>>
because I get Fireball for the down turns with also the OP cleric nukes and buffs.
Clerics don't get Haste which is the strongest buff spell in the game. But then again you should be using Sorcs instead of Wizards because they can Haste and shoot fireballs at the same time.
>Solasta didn't really have it this bad
Solasta had it even worse, damaging magic was fricking useless in it, all you did with casters was buff your barbarians.
I threw in the towel because wizard is just shit on tactician. CC doesn't land well enough to make it worth it and my best play is haste, so I changed mine into a sorc to get double haste. I went from raping fights to double raping fights.
wait a minute can you use twinned magic to sustain haste on two dudes?
yes lol
and then you can spend the rest of your fight throwing DOS BOLAS DE FUEGOS or better yet, lightning bolts because unlike wizard storm sorc is good as FRICK
double damage is no joke and it makes even his cantrips good damage
It's their way of trying to balance mages from completely invalidating martials as they usually do.
Pathfinder had a good balance though. A stacked Nenio could immediately end encounters with Weird but martials could also do some crazy shit like 10+ attacks a turn.
yeah but martials let me beat unfair without trying hard and in real time
caster oracle angel was also easy as frick though
the easiest way through ToB was to haste a party of melees who blendered through the game lmao
castercucks have always been delusional
>I um...counterspell...and uh..time stop, and uh...wish, and uh...get back time stop and uh..
>meanwhile Saervok and Fighter MC have already cleared the game
LMAO
>casts a million contingencies and prepared spells the instant combat starts
Nothing personnel, kiddo.
>spends more time in menus clicking than I did in 7 fights
nothing personnel taken, bookgay
Not really. Prepping spells is about as quick and mindless as clicking enemies is since endgame is all about using the same spells to disable and then nuke enemies.
>Critical hits you for the third time in the same turn
Another quality thread lads
5 out of 5 stars, go have a nice day
What exactly is a Spell Attack Roll? Does this cover debuff spells and concentration spells that require the victim to roll saving throws? Will it make my enemies fail saving throws against, say Grease? Fireball? Spirit Guardians? Hunger of Hadar? Hold Person etc.??
Not sure if spirit guardian uses your modifier for attack roll or it uses its own static one, but otherwise yes all of them are governed by that
Spell Attack Roll are for attack spells (no save). Example is Scorching Ray.
Spell DC is for guaranteed spells (no attack roll check, just saving throw). Example is Fireball.
Wow this glove is pretty fricking worthless then jesus christ. Every single spell worth a shit uses saving throws.
bro your Eldritch Blast?
i'm just gonna fireball and call lightning on warlock anyway, aoe is king and it's not like eldritch blast has a hard time hitting in the first place
Just killed the Hag and have camped multiple times now. When exactly do your companions start fighting for your dick constantly?
i went ubderdark for chapter 2. she doesn't even have any unique dialogue so fsr
Go topside dumbass that's where her story is
she died in my playthrough because she left my party at mountain pass and I left, then returned few rests later to find she was killed. then i genocided the gith base.
>mfw get nearly TPK by a single frog spitting on my entire party on turn one of combat out of nowhere
classic Larian experience
I swear their entire idea of difficulty comes from
>DUDE AMBUSH LMAO
and then when you try to ambush enemies they have "super special cant be surprised :)" buff
Can you mod her to have a nose?
does it matter if i go to the temple or take the mountain pass near the gith dudes?
Ugly and annoying, with bad va.
I expected to absolutely fricking hate her but she is surprisingly endering and together with Shadowheart has probably the biggest character development in the game.
>blueballed myself because I "broke up"with her early on
wtf
>says she wants to frick
>get back to camp and she tries to slit my throat instead
>don't get the sex cutscene after resting a couple of times
>pick karlach after killing the gobbos
>acts like a c**t but fricks me the next night anyway
what the frick is her problem?
it's her culture pls understand
you tried to frick a frog, that's the problem
I don't mind Gale. Isn't he just a nod to Elminster since his story is just Punished Elminster but instead of his Mystra dying and his city blowing up, he just gets his 'curse'?
i don't like gale because he wants to eat all your magic shit at a time when you barely have any and if you try to kill him to put an end to it he lmaos and deletes your save
I dunno, this is my first time playing and he only wants three items and there was a lot of SHIT items worth 12 gold I gave him.
every magic item belongs to me
her character progression is fantastic and her personal quest gives you some pure kino fights
There's a couple crap items you can buy in the druid camp that qualify. Costs you maybe couple gold and those items are worthless.
A bow that gives you a level 1 spellslot back if you crit with it, and only once per rest, lol, lmao.
I don't want to hear about Elminster's story again. Him having to an hero doesn't make it any less of a Mary Sue story.
he's Ed Greenwood's character, man. All those author MCs are super Gary Stus/Mary Sues. From Morgan Blackhand, to Deedlit. I don't worry about it
>every companion is a special homosexual of awesome background and unique storyline
>they're all low level and get gibbed by goblins like everyone else
Critical Role and its consequences have been a disaster for the D&D community
karlach's engine is fricked up
wyll lost his residual warlock energy when abducted or something
shadowheart lost all her memories
gale got pegged by mystra
lae'zel is just a scrub githyanki fresh out of the creche
i don't know what astarion's deal is because i kill him every time i see him
He's a Vampire fledgling. If a Vampire bites you they can make you into one, but to become one proper they have to let you drink THEIR blood otherwise you're basically just their basic b***h slave.
Anon's just being a whiny moron.
oh, they're just temporarily inconvenienced bad asses who have done a whole lot of awesome shit but just can't at this moment
what's wrong with that? how else would you explain them becoming so powerful over the course of the game?
The same way companions get super strong in the other games: murdering stuff. I don't care about having to contextualize levelling up if it leads to listening to all these ridiculous background stories from people who don't act in line with their background stories. The magic worm in our heads is enough context.
>it has to be nobodies who become demi-gods, not already strong people who got fricked over by the tadpole
>REEE THEY ARE NOT VILLAGERS AND WEAKLINGS WHO BECOME GODS
we get it, you like marvel slop
Yeah it's kinda amazing how over the top they went.
See this Tiefling? She's like the personal murdermachine of the archidevil of hell. Also she has an infernal machine instead of a heart.
See this mage? Well he's literally so good the goddess of magic jumped on his dick. No really, he fricked a goddess. He somehow wasn't content with that and took some really ancient shadow magic to the face. Now he needs to eat magical artifacts or explode lmaaoooooo
The other ones are less ridiculous but jesus fricking christ.
you do understand why they were being kidnapped and made into True Souls, right? You don't understand why the best of the best got slurped up? REALLY?
So why did the pc get slurped up? My dude is just a level 1 Baldurian human soldier fighter.
>You don't understand why the best of the best got slurped up?
>level 1s with a fancy backstory
>level 1s with a fancy backstory
>tfw you're too moronic to have caught any one of the party all tell you the tadpole fricked with them and they lost a lot of the abilities they used to have
lmao
>tadpole fricked with them and they lost a lot of the abilities they used to have
Fighters lose their muscles too?
This explanation is as good as ff8 "we lost our memories, how plot convenient".
>This explanation is as good as ff8 "we lost our memories, how plot convenient".
>he's also one of those idiots who didn't catch the 10 times they say in FF8 that using a GF caused SeeDs to lose memories
lmao figures
anon, you seem to think people misunderstand things when they actually just think the explanation is moronic
I just told you it did. How did I not catch it?
Must be tough being a filthy ESL.
Must be tough being a moron so dumb grade school plots like FF8 go over your head.
Embarrassing.
yeah I would be embarrassed too if I thought the memory loss was an asspull when you're told about it roughly 10 times before the reveal
read, frickface
stop trying to recover. It's pathetic.
Agreed, you covering for larian's shit and lazy writing is pathetic.
it's okay bro, you didn't get why they were captured or the part where they lost their former abilities
I get it, games with too many words make baby's head hurt
My guy is a generic character nobody, why was he captured?
because he isn't and unless you want spoilers you'll find out
He is, I made him so I know.
>the game isn't canon my headcanon is canon
okay Tumblr, enjoy then
>the game's shitty, lazy and convenient writing is actually good
Not today, larian drone 🙂
>is seething
>puts a smiley
pottery, every time
Why would I seethe at something I didn't spend a cent on? 😀
>I waste my time on things I think are terrible for 40 hours and then come to Ganker to shitpost in threads about it for another 40 hours because I JUST DO OKAY
lmao
Looking at your posts you too could become one of larian's top writers, keep at it.
>no rebuttal because he knows he's coping hard
>i..it was f..ree..I..d..don't..l.like..i..it anyways....
LOL
It is free, amazing what you kind find on the internet, eh?
You didn't actually spend money on it, right?
GG I win, no interest in you spamming hard cope posts until the thread 404s
remember you lost
I accept your concession, lil dumbfrick.
>you didn't get why they were captured
Wyll and Karlach got captured by accident. There are corpses of random peasants and nobles in the ship.
Sounds more like they took whoever the frick they could and hoped for the best.
Yes moron, because they need lower level members too
dumb frick
Lol they took literally whatever they could get their hands on. There's dozens of peasants corpses strewn about after the crash.
Truly 4d chess.
oh fug
I got the bard gloves off of one but yeeted the other two off the cliff. Do they drop anything good?
I prefer drow milf
Her scene is still the best, even during EA. Bizarre.
Its a shame she doesnt join you in act 1, Especially since half my camp left after I butchered the druid camp
Doesn't take long to get to Moonrise anyway and then you can go back if you missed anything.
Are there mods to fix her disgusting nose yet? I don't care about on-model lore accurate shit I want my wives to be hot
should I let the bard take my eye out during act 1? the eye he gives you gives a free see invisibility I think
I did it. Seems worth it.
If you RP your character as a moron, yes you should.
no more moronic than the other obvious traps you can fall into to get it removed, those seem even more stupid to fall for
>those seem even more stupid to fall for
Really? Believing a hag has a solution is more stupid than some blowhard bard?
With my history of hags in DnD and Pathfinder, yes very much so
I roleplayed as a guy who reloaded to see what it did and definitely wasn't going to lose that free awesome power
As an archer fighter, no fricking way I'm letting anyone near my eyes, hags included.
Oh yea thats right, I wonder if I could give my other eye to the hag, that seems pretty fricking funny, or maybe she will take the relic one and get mad
Which characters can I safely frick at the same time? all the evil ones?
I want her and shadowheart in my party. Is it possible to get them to not fricking hate eachother?
yeah
Nice
I will form a harem then
>can only cast magic weapon on one party member
>casting it again wipes the last cast
For what purpose Larian?
D&D concentration rules, it's a thing
gonna mod this shit out, make it more like pathfinder
+1 weapons aren't even hard to find, especially if you're not picky about the specific type.
because FRICK you, now start throwing some barrels around you fricking c**t
look up concentration, it's why casters are gigacucks and martials run 5e
tired of seeing her repulsive face on the board
