What an absolute goober if you really think about it. >takes contract from a powerful tower dwelling wizard that is plastered on every wall >doesn't even google what the fuck is Nightsong even is >gets his crew killed >wants a refund >can't even get through the bouncer
A mercy kill is what he needs.
The more I think of this tiefling fag the more pissed I get.
He's bitching at the adventurer for "leading goblins back to camp" and then almost locks him out, but it's not his fucking camp.
The only reason he's there is because Halsin let the tieflings in and it was his choice to go adventurin.
He's a refugee given shelter and then saying he's now the boss of border control.
because hes a paladin sworn to protect the kids and civilians from the tiefling caravan?
If anything you should be pissed at the druids for not doing anything to help even though they are next
The druids are neutral worshippers of Sylvanus, they gave temporary shelter to some red morons and then the red morons are stealing their shit and trying to run the show. The druids have already gone out of their way to help them.
If it had to be a druid, she was right there.
>here are the tadpol meds >have a nice day
No, thank you.
the druids are all fucking brainless assholes,
halsin is the worst for not disciplining any of them, much less kagha the cunt
everyone talks how great and wise halsin is, how hes an amazing leader, yet the first fucking thing he does is fuck off to your camp and leave the grove unattended, after the druids decided to attempt the ritual on their own.
i just went back to the grove, stole the idol and got rid of them all, if the goal was to make them unlikeable they got me. i wish i could tell halsin to fuck off too
dont even get me started on nightsong and isobel
in my game i punched zevlor
then i sided with this mancunian lad
he gave me his nightsong contract for being a bro
later on in act 3 he shows up at the wizard tower trying to get paid for it anyway
also he's only level 3
tells me to watch it m8
i tell him the nightsong isn't a gem its a now dead aamarwank thing
told him there's no reward and i have to break the bad news to the wizard fag instead of him
he thanks me and walks off
next time i long rest he shows up at my camp asking for the bounty for the gem i stole anyway
you got paid for the job m8 i want my cut
somehow has 8 other bandits with him including three female halfling barbarians for some reason and a male dragonborn cleric with a female voice
they're all level 10
he's still level 3
he tries to attack my MC and dies instantly to a riposte
well, okay then
next time i'm punching you instead of zevlor
>next time i long rest he shows up at my camp asking for the bounty for the gem i stole anyway
you got paid for the job m8 i want my cut
LMAO i knew he was gonna do this that's why I reloaded and killed him on the spot after telling him the nightsong isn't an object
I didn't even know that Astarion's family can try to kidnap him on a long rest in town. Not sure if it's because I bought the Tavern Room or not, but I thought that was pretty neat.
what connection does he have with me? also >game expects me to remember someone i met for one conversation in the first 20 minutes of the game 100+ hours later
I think she was more surprised that you would fill the front of the Emerald Grove with explosives, given the amount of preparation and dedication that sort of thing would take.
Euthanizing someone who should be turning into a monster at any moment is a completely reasonable course of action.
Based Nettie looking out for her tribe. Just take the "meds".
Holy shit, this. Having a novice on their first real adventure as a companion instead of the crazy level 20 dickheads would have been a breath of fresh air. She had an adorable voice, too.
>Nettie for a Dwarf companion >Alfira for a Tiefling Bard >Barcus or Wulbren as a companion depending on choices >Nere for another Evil companion to at least make up for potentially losing half you squad >That halfling werewolf
I liked Barcus. I played a Duergar so it was funny to see him immediately think I only saved him from the windmill to make him my own slave. Then when we met at the Inn in Act 2 he was still apprehensive, but glad to meet me. Wulbren is also just funny even if he's a huge dick.
If it were PF Barcus would join you as a grenadier and not as a guy sitting in a corner waiting to give you one (1) good grenade before simping for his terrorist friend
Have you seen the 90s Last of the Mohicans movie? I imagined that scene with Magua and the marching column with my party in the thick of it
Instead I got wall humping drow bugging out and branding herself over and over after massed range attacks killed everyone of consequence.
sorry dude only people who have visited the upper city at least once get to fuck goblins
do you get to the upper city often?
oh, what am i saying, of course you don't
>get inside goblin camp with sazza's help >bail her out of trouble a 2nd time >forgive her for trying to sell me out >fight dror ragzlin >all the goblins are hostile now EXCEPT SAZZA, who is cowering in the corner as a neutral party >surely this means i will be able to romance her now >kill every enemy except her >continue on to kill minthara >come back >sazza randomly dead on the ground
fuck u larian ur just racist against goblins
You are a mega simp and deserve it. She literally tries to get you killed the moment she leads you inside. I laughed as she got pushed down the spider pit.
>you kill a dog that attacks you >it breaks the paladins oath
Shouted at Scratches dead master, he attacked me, drew blood, and where I was a Vengeance paladin I though, 'yeah, bye doggie', smashed his head in and suddenly "oath broken". I was not expecting that.
>Warlock if I just want to feel like an OP powerhouse
No save knockbacks are good in act 1 where all the encounter design went but what else is really so OP about Warlocks? EBs don't scale as hard as martials even with their wet dream cantrip buff gear and even perfectly spaced 6 high lvl casts a day doesn't compare to a proper full caster
Divination wizard. Love fucking baddies' dice rolls over. Oh, you saved vs. Disintegrate? You hit a nat 20 on your attack roll? Think again, gay, you rolled a 4 and a 7
any rogue class on its own is really bad tbh. rogue only really works well when its multiclassed with something else. like 5 rogue (assassin or thief, both works for different niches, assassin gloomstalker synergy will blast a target into oblivion turn 1) 5 gloomstalker 2 fighter is really strong.
Game isn't hard enough to warrant needing to multiclass at all, even on tactical. I don't know why people resort to class viability when you can literally get 1 character to solo every single encounter muchless with a full party
>get 1 character to solo every single encounter
Nah you would get action economy to death in most fight
The only way it would be possible in some very few encounter would be to play a pussy range
Cull the weak + martial = 80% of any encounter dead by level 8~. This isn't even getting into the fact that summons exist and are easy as fuck to abuse with certain items.

We are talking about a solo run from level one mate
I really want to see a solo player pass the hag fight at lvl 3/4
Even by cheesing hard the game it would be a nightmare
So no you can't easily solo every encounter

No we're not, you are. Point to me where I said you can solo the game straight from the start as level 1. You can't.

If I read that correctly you did use the word "EVERY", meaning all the encounter from the start of the game to the end, now explain to me how you can pull a lvl 8 with cull of the weak cap at 8 tadpole in act1
stupid piece of shit
Light Cleric. Lots of nice spells, you can take Spell Sniper to get Eldritch Blast for an ordinary attack action, and Radiance of the Dawn is satisfying as fuck to land. Monk is a close second, though.
I was really pleasantly surprised by the barbarian dialogue. I find the fact that they're always in bold bizarrely funny >Hag tries to offer her pubes for the girl's life >Can persuade normally >Or barbarians can threaten to skin her and use her bones to make a bedpan, with advantage
>ROAR >with advantage
I don’t know why I have advantage but I basically succeeded every persuasion check with other bonuses
Fuck everyone who says you need a charisma party face member
I was able to call her a non-threatening bitch compared to Lolth. I also got Shadowheart to question her faith by pointing out how similar our religons are.
Bored of EB spamming warlock so I'm rolling Rogue(3)/Sorcerer focusing on cold spells. Latest patches enable sneak attacking with spell so I can hide and snipe enemies making them either slip or frozen for the melee party member to clean house. The damage can get pretty jacked when enemy's wet like the usual lightning shenanigans & sometimes you can get lucky and land a frozen status which doubles damage for your melee fighters. Casting spells while hiding also increases your accuracy so it feels smoother.
Of course, an assassin/warlock spamming EBs would be shitting nukes left and right but that's way too cheesy.
Cleric, simply because it gets you extra reactivity from your deity.
Should have been an option by default for all classes to pick a god to worship, but I digress.
>Cleric, simply because it gets you extra reactivity from your deity
I went with Tymora and I don't think I got a single specific reactivity in all three acts, only generic good boy options
Monk if you like the idea of Spider-man/superhero shit of free jumps and dashes while punching enemies.
champion Fighter/thief Rouge two handed multi-class gets silly mid game where you have all those extra actions, easier crits and the means to take massive vault leaps without damage.
Sorcerer/Warlock eldritch machine gunning if fun too.
Of my 3 characters so far Warlock has been the most fun. EB works well with illithid powers like the 1d4 psychic one, and spells feel super good to use because they're upcasted. They lack utility but that stuff can be found on gear, and you still get stuff like slow/confusion.
>Imagine betraying your species to live with the kobolds
I've always liked the idea of a human knight who wears dragon scale armor and rides a wyvern becoming the king of a tribe of kobolds.
No 5e classes except maybe paladins are more fun than their 2e or 3.5e counterparts. None of the classes in 5e feel like they have any real flavor or mechanical depth to them when you compare them to how wizards used to get an opposition school or create their own spells as an arcanist, the fluff was better too because the settings were actually cool and creative instead of all being set in the fucking Sword Coast. Dark Sun, Spelljammer, Greyhawk; all kino
Said the person who has obviously never played an actual tabletop game. If you enjoy playing d&d as a microsoft excel spreadsheet sim, then go for it, but don't push your powergaming gayry onto people who make characters instead of vehicles for doing math
None of those will happen except maybe the Ravenloft game and it'll suck ass because Larian can't write a serious story without Marvel-tier quips littered throughout the dialogue. Also they never stick the landing so have fun with your 2 minute cutscene of Strahd dying offscreen with no epilogue
Honestly, this is something that has bothered me with every RPG game I play. I will constantly encounter characters that would much rather have in my party instead of my actual companions.
Zevlor, Kagha, etc. Could've been interesting companions.
Honestly, this is something that has bothered me with every RPG game I play. I will constantly encounter characters that would much rather have in my party instead of my actual companions.
As long as Swen breathes the retarded origin character system stays and takes priority over everything else. It's a miracle we've got non-origin companions in this game.
He's been making games for 20 years and only 2 if them have this origin system
If anything, their own stats support the fact that people prefer playing custom characters in this type of rpg
>their own stats support the fact that people prefer playing custom characters
True. Yet despite that they're still keen on wasting resources and dev time making a set of companions work as origins instead of just making more companions in general. Not to mention that these origins are very hit and miss as companions to the point of people preferring to play with custom mercs instead.

This might change with Dark Urge. Dark Urge was a huge success.
Dark Urge was the original custom character before they pussied out and split them. Nevermind that in DOS2 you could completely change looks of all origin characters which is absent in BG3.
that probably has to do with how detailed the cutscenes and facial animations are
i assume this is also why there are so few faces to choose from when you're making a character, all of them are animated pretty well with good attention to detail
i killed half the goblins, i killed the spiders under moonhaven, i killed the ogres, i killed the harpies, i'm killing the hyenas and gnolls and about to walk into waukeens rest and holy shit man im so fucking tired of it
i just want to hear dialogue and talk to astarion and murder people in my sleep for bhaal and deal with party drama, i don't want to grind for xp yet the game is forcing me to >lol lmao just lower the difficult haha lol
fuck you
Alfira should have been recruitable instead of Halsin. I was hoping he would be cool during Early Access but they thrust him into the role of overly-horny social retard while bizarrely Astarion is the least gay of all the male companions
Yep, I wanted to just conquer the world and have fun with just my wizard and astarion
lol nope you can't do that
you fucking idiot you fucking retard you absolute cretin fool how dare you try to have fun in the video game, you MUST have dumb frog bitch and cleric slut in your party constantly bickering and bitching at you and each other and the rest of the entire fucking world lol lmao isnt it awesome and fun and great?
such a stupid fucking decision that goes against everything dnd is about
the difficulty is way overtuned for solo play but you can use whatever combination of characters you want even without respecing them
I benched shart the microsecond I recruited a fourth person
I finished the game with only the main character and Shadowheart, I either killed the other companions or straight up reject any other offer to join the camp
I played a Berserker and reclassed Shadowheart to be a Sorcerer.
There's a lot of savescumming in every fights, but it's doable
you have to break Withers out of the tomb at the start of the game, behind the locked door on the beach
he resurrects people at first, then later is able to change your class and recruit party hirelings
I played monk on my most recent playthrough and I think it might actually be broken, and that's without doing stupid meta shit like dual classing rogue and taking tavern brawler
Currently on my evil Durge run and about to head into the goblin camp to wife up Minthara and massacre the Grove. What are the quests that you can't do once you proceed to act 2? Want to rush to act 2 immediately to get Minthara and then go back to do all the act 1 quests I can still do.
>No stop being racist against us we are not demon spawn :~~*(( >omg goblins! KILL THEM KILL THEM KILLTHEM KILLTHEM KILLTHEMKILLTHEMKILLTHEM
Why are tieflings such hypocrites? Is it the devil blood in their veins?
>nudge the idol with mage hand >suddenly the druids flip out and slaughter all the tieflings
a little extreme I must say.
Zevlor did go out like a champ tho, was surrounded by like 4 dead bear druids.
Are there any other instances where you can cause NPCs to sperg out and start killing each other. I wanna do a troll run where I cause as much chaos as possible without getting caught, pretty much just go invisible and watch everyone sperg out
Anon, there's barely any reactivity in the game past act 1. The closest thing to the idol is killing Nightsong which instantly dooms entire Las Light inn.
Yes, if only because of how much effort they put in to keep bringing her back. She should definitely be a camp follower that just scrounges up junk or some shit.
I just got done doing the raid again and I forgot how underwhelming it is.
two cosmetics: a cape and hate, a shitty rapier, and the only useful thing is a disguise mask which you really don't need but the option is nice I guess
Mask of the shape-shifter is alright If you don't want to waste a spellslot for disguise and the dye looks nice on any armor but beyond that not really.
Speaking of the deluxe items. >Fane- Mask of the shapeshifter >Lohse- Lute >Sebille- Dagger >Red Prince- Cape >Beast- Hat >Ifan- ??
Did Ifan not get any representation or is the dye somehow related to him?
I never understood this fight. Sometimes he'll just walk up to you and you can tell him to kill the gays in the cave but sometimes he'll just fight you to the death
I have no idea what people see in this boring ass game. I have never played such an efficiently stultifying mix of "seen it" and too much fucking cutscenes and waiting around.
>let the players side with bad guy >realize they will have to do more work to make this work >kill him immediately in a cutscene at the very first opportunity in result
Bravo, Larian.
Oh, don't get me wrong, it was just convenient to agree at the time, even the fucking squid said 'we'll just fuck him if it works out better for us', I just find it baffling that the insight check said he was cool
It makes sense more or less, to be fair. Shit is about to blow, you prove to him that you're level-headed and he's all for it. Backstabbing can come later.
He invited me to his personal chamber with his 30 ten-ton fuckbots and Wyll's fucked up brain-eaten dad, I was fully expecting him to just try to kill us if I told him to fuck off
ye goyon den ya daft cunt
I socked this 2000 BC Joshua lookin garden gnome right in the face.
I didn't, let him live and continue his quest all the way to BG. My mistake. This guy really the Chosen of Yahweh, Avatar of garden gnomery.
cool it with the anti-Semitism
What an absolute goober if you really think about it.
>takes contract from a powerful tower dwelling wizard that is plastered on every wall

dont even get me started on nightsong and isobel
the only solution is killing everyone and establishing a monarchy
Did you fail to notice how his people are the border guards or something?
Are you braindead?
in my game i punched zevlor
then i sided with this mancunian lad
he gave me his nightsong contract for being a bro
later on in act 3 he shows up at the wizard tower trying to get paid for it anyway
also he's only level 3
tells me to watch it m8
i tell him the nightsong isn't a gem its a now dead aamarwank thing
told him there's no reward and i have to break the bad news to the wizard fag instead of him
he thanks me and walks off

Thanks larian
I didn't even know that Astarion's family can try to kidnap him on a long rest in town. Not sure if it's because I bought the Tavern Room or not, but I thought that was pretty neat.
This dude is really annoying but he looks better than some of the other companions.
frfr
who the fuck is this guy? i bumped into him in lower city and he was acting like i knew who he was
He's the guy Zevlor is yelling at when you first get to the grove
what connection does he have with me? also
>game expects me to remember someone i met for one conversation in the first 20 minutes of the game 100+ hours later
He wants the Nightsong. He's the one who gave you the quest early on in Act 1.

Why can't I fuck a goblin?
Because that's LITERALLY pedophilia, chud.
Now go have an open relationship with the gay bear and Shadowslut.
Why can't I fuck a kobold?
idk
I'd hope for a DLC with a goblin companion, male or female but I doubt they would want to get all the voice actors together again for it
Because literally pedophilia
Degeneracy for me but not for thee.
I love his reaction when you lead the goblin forces there and open the gate
>you betrayed us! WHY?????
Priceless
"At least you'll be dead before the goblins get to your children."
>tell drow location of camp
>outside of camp surrounded by tnt
>surprised when I betray her
Drow are not very bright, huh?
I think she was more surprised that you would fill the front of the Emerald Grove with explosives, given the amount of preparation and dedication that sort of thing would take.
Why didn't we get Zevlor as a companion instesd of Halsin?
If it had to be a druid, she was right there.
>here are the tadpol meds
>have a nice day
No, thank you.
Euthanizing someone who should be turning into a monster at any moment is a completely reasonable course of action.

Oh, Canada
Holy shit, this. Having a novice on their first real adventure as a companion instead of the crazy level 20 dickheads would have been a breath of fresh air. She had an adorable voice, too.
yes please
>No Femdwarf or any Dwarf companion
>No Halfling
>No Gnome
>No Goblins, Hobgoblins or Bugbears

Instead, we get flooded with Elves and Humans. Absolutely robbed, in every sense of the word.
>halfling, gnome, dwarf
>Least played races
>No companions
take a hint, they suck.
Nah, DnD and Fantasy in general are infested with failed normies. It explains the shit taste.
You suck
I bet if they added kobolds, they would be ridiculously popular unfortunately.
wasn't halsin ramming that shortstack poon in ea? Did they remove that?
If there was any indication that they were having sex then I missed it. I think you're just misremembering.
i knocked out this bitch and took her hat for my wood elf tav
Nettie wouldn't be able to cuck you, please understand this was a big priority for the writers.

>Barcus or Wulbren as a companion depending on choices
>Nere for another Evil companion to at least make up for potentially losing half you squad
>That halfling werewolf
We were robbed honestly.
>Barcus or Wulbren
I don't think anyone would actually want those gay bald underground garden gnomes as a companion.
I liked Barcus. I played a Duergar so it was funny to see him immediately think I only saved him from the windmill to make him my own slave. Then when we met at the Inn in Act 2 he was still apprehensive, but glad to meet me. Wulbren is also just funny even if he's a huge dick.
If it were PF Barcus would join you as a grenadier and not as a guy sitting in a corner waiting to give you one (1) good grenade before simping for his terrorist friend
Could been a paladin alternative to Minthara aswell and you get him in act 2 via freeing.
Larian really dropped the ball on the betrayal aspect of this.
I thought I'd be able to stab the goblins in the back after they started the attack
What do you mean? Not opening the gate and getting them all in the open to try and storm the gates is the "stab in the back."
Have you seen the 90s Last of the Mohicans movie? I imagined that scene with Magua and the marching column with my party in the thick of it
Instead I got wall humping drow bugging out and branding herself over and over after massed range attacks killed everyone of consequence.
>Needs a specific option to betray someone instead of just setting explosives all over the place they show up and blasting them away
You're stupid for not just murdering them in the temple.
>game is literally stocked full of smug, fertile goblin fuck-sleeves
>no option to plap a single one of them anywhere in the entire game
remind me why people are saying this garbage is the savior of gaming?
Don't forget the smug tiefling brats ripe for a PLAPPING and in need of correction
Their london crackwhore accent kills my boner
That's what makes them sexy. They're lower lifeforms. Savages. And they need a dicking.
sorry dude only people who have visited the upper city at least once get to fuck goblins

oh, what am i saying, of course you don't

fuck u larian ur just racist against goblins
Still better than me fucking the dialog up and seeing her pushed into the spider pit
Biggest regret of the game.
That's actually retarded as fuck. What the fuck is wrong with Larian?
Does she say anything if you try talking to her about rekting Ragzlin?
i think she would just loop "eep please dont hurt me" or something afterwards
>tfw no secret sazza companion/romance route
You are a mega simp and deserve it. She literally tries to get you killed the moment she leads you inside. I laughed as she got pushed down the spider pit.
Dunmer ass looking motherfucker

Has to be an oversight because you don't get XP for killing them either.
>you kill a dog that attacks you
>it breaks the paladins oath
Shouted at Scratches dead master, he attacked me, drew blood, and where I was a Vengeance paladin I though, 'yeah, bye doggie', smashed his head in and suddenly "oath broken". I was not expecting that.
>WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T JUST KILL EVERY DOG I SEE?
catmorons are too funny
Scratches is the highest moral authority in any given conflict, you fucking retard.
>nooo you can't kill the heckin' doggerino!!!
justice for scratches
I broke my oath by making a pact with gortash instead of taking on a gorrillion steel watch bros.
Honestly there is too much shit breaking the oath of vengeance
Give me one good reason to side with the goblins.
Minratha is the best female companion in the game, at least personality/story wise.
I had to stop my save where I sided with the goblins, bc everyone's saying her shit's still broken
It's the only way to kill the tiefling kids and you get Minthara. It's not enough to actually warrant doing it, but there ARE some good reasons.
Dab on tiggers
You get to save a hyena in act 2
minthara's grape flavored pussy juice
Would you give your character's virginity to him?
Wyll and Karlach fuck off and Halsin dies.
>no karlach
So there's no reason to side with them? And I can leave Halsin to die on his own.
WE WUZ ROONIN
Whats your favorite class, Ganker? I cant decide on what to play as.
Bard is op if you put 11 points into sorc
Fighter, unironically. Getting to attack 5+ times a turn makes my cock hard.
Eh. Twinn spelling haste on Bae'zel and Minthy to let the do all the work is fun and they enjoy it too. Wouldn't call it a long "rest" tho
then take monk retard
Storm Sorceror. Zap Mothafucka and fly after every spell. Play blue dragonborn for maximum kino
Just pick any of the CHA classes so you can pass dialogue checks + all of them are really strong.
Paladin for performance, warlock for fun factor
I just made a Warlock, it's what I like to play in D&D normally
just eldritch blast everything and add some flavor with invocations and pacts
Jack of all trades starting with Fighter
Paladin at first, then ended up liking the monk more simply because I get to punch people and I had good gear for the class.
Wizard. Always. Having access to every spell in the game is infinitely more interesting then swinging 4 times in a turn.
Warlock if I just want to feel like an OP powerhouse
Barbarian if I want to be the full retard throwing enemies into enemies and using their corpses to beat other enemies with.
>Warlock if I just want to feel like an OP powerhouse
No save knockbacks are good in act 1 where all the encounter design went but what else is really so OP about Warlocks? EBs don't scale as hard as martials even with their wet dream cantrip buff gear and even perfectly spaced 6 high lvl casts a day doesn't compare to a proper full caster
Force damage is just really really good
Divination wizard. Love fucking baddies' dice rolls over. Oh, you saved vs. Disintegrate? You hit a nat 20 on your attack roll? Think again, gay, you rolled a 4 and a 7
Rogue Assassin for that sweet stealth crit on everything. having high charisma also helps with all the dialogue checks as well so its pretty good.
any rogue class on its own is really bad tbh. rogue only really works well when its multiclassed with something else. like 5 rogue (assassin or thief, both works for different niches, assassin gloomstalker synergy will blast a target into oblivion turn 1) 5 gloomstalker 2 fighter is really strong.
who asked? fuck off munchkin gay
just dont be a dead weight shitter anon
Game isn't hard enough to warrant needing to multiclass at all, even on tactical. I don't know why people resort to class viability when you can literally get 1 character to solo every single encounter muchless with a full party
>get 1 character to solo every single encounter
Nah you would get action economy to death in most fight
The only way it would be possible in some very few encounter would be to play a pussy range
Cull the weak + martial = 80% of any encounter dead by level 8~. This isn't even getting into the fact that summons exist and are easy as fuck to abuse with certain items.
We are talking about a solo run from level one mate
I really want to see a solo player pass the hag fight at lvl 3/4
Even by cheesing hard the game it would be a nightmare
So no you can't easily solo every encounter
>We are talking about a solo run from level one mate
No we're not, you are. Point to me where I said you can solo the game straight from the start as level 1. You can't.
here you stupid fag
>when you can literally get 1 character to solo every single encounter
If I read that correctly you did use the word "EVERY", meaning all the encounter from the start of the game to the end, now explain to me how you can pull a lvl 8 with cull of the weak cap at 8 tadpole in act1
stupid piece of shit
Light Cleric. Lots of nice spells, you can take Spell Sniper to get Eldritch Blast for an ordinary attack action, and Radiance of the Dawn is satisfying as fuck to land. Monk is a close second, though.
Barbarian because they have the best dialogue options and rage is fun to use
I was really pleasantly surprised by the barbarian dialogue. I find the fact that they're always in bold bizarrely funny
>Hag tries to offer her pubes for the girl's life
>Can persuade normally
>Or barbarians can threaten to skin her and use her bones to make a bedpan, with advantage
>ROAR
>with advantage
I don’t know why I have advantage but I basically succeeded every persuasion check with other bonuses
Fuck everyone who says you need a charisma party face member
I was able to call her a non-threatening bitch compared to Lolth. I also got Shadowheart to question her faith by pointing out how similar our religons are.
>I also got Shadowheart to question her faith by pointing out how similar our religons are.
That sounds interesting, what did she say about Lolth?
i also outdrank that pussy
Oath of Vengeance Paladin
all the fun of paladin with half the cimmitment
Thematically, war cleric. Sadly it is very boring. Storm sorcerer and battlemaster fighter are very fun but not as cool.
ignore the palafags, play monk
I played as rogue
Bored of EB spamming warlock so I'm rolling Rogue(3)/Sorcerer focusing on cold spells. Latest patches enable sneak attacking with spell so I can hide and snipe enemies making them either slip or frozen for the melee party member to clean house. The damage can get pretty jacked when enemy's wet like the usual lightning shenanigans & sometimes you can get lucky and land a frozen status which doubles damage for your melee fighters. Casting spells while hiding also increases your accuracy so it feels smoother.
Of course, an assassin/warlock spamming EBs would be shitting nukes left and right but that's way too cheesy.
I hate the fact retarded shit like this makes me laugh.
You're not alone
My sense of humor is fucked beyond repair.
What’s the most fun class? (Doesn’t have to be good)
Cleric, simply because it gets you extra reactivity from your deity.
Should have been an option by default for all classes to pick a god to worship, but I digress.
>Cleric, simply because it gets you extra reactivity from your deity
I went with Tymora and I don't think I got a single specific reactivity in all three acts, only generic good boy options
Monk if you like the idea of Spider-man/superhero shit of free jumps and dashes while punching enemies.
champion Fighter/thief Rouge two handed multi-class gets silly mid game where you have all those extra actions, easier crits and the means to take massive vault leaps without damage.
Sorcerer/Warlock eldritch machine gunning if fun too.
What specifically does Rogue bring to this?
Extra bonus action, so you get two main hand attacks and two off hand attacks. Really good with hand crossbows for example.
Of my 3 characters so far Warlock has been the most fun. EB works well with illithid powers like the 1d4 psychic one, and spells feel super good to use because they're upcasted. They lack utility but that stuff can be found on gear, and you still get stuff like slow/confusion.
Post short goblin babes with HUGE titties.
DO IT
no
Gonna go Monk for my tactician run, wish me luck
Thats not the line. You don't actually play videogames.
God what i would give for a lil goblin slut all my own. She'd like you do fucking ANYTHING
KANON!
NO!!!
Imagine betraying your species to live with the kobolds. Disgusting.
Why is Jesus looking longingly at that lizard
>Imagine betraying your species to live with the kobolds
I've always liked the idea of a human knight who wears dragon scale armor and rides a wyvern becoming the king of a tribe of kobolds.
No 5e classes except maybe paladins are more fun than their 2e or 3.5e counterparts. None of the classes in 5e feel like they have any real flavor or mechanical depth to them when you compare them to how wizards used to get an opposition school or create their own spells as an arcanist, the fluff was better too because the settings were actually cool and creative instead of all being set in the fucking Sword Coast. Dark Sun, Spelljammer, Greyhawk; all kino
>AHHH I LOVE PAYING THE FEAT TAX HELP ME GYGASMAN
Not everyone is a metagaming gay wojak poster
Yes, yes they are. Nobody makes a shit subpar character on purpose.
Said the person who has obviously never played an actual tabletop game. If you enjoy playing d&d as a microsoft excel spreadsheet sim, then go for it, but don't push your powergaming gayry onto people who make characters instead of vehicles for doing math
>plays an RPG
>but actually just wants to roleplay and not play a game
lmfao @ you
>implying you can't do both
4e was shit, if you want a soulless number-go-up autism simulator then go play WoW you imaginationless chud
This. I unironically only play RPGs to make fun characters with cool friggin backstories.
Did Larian say if they'll release a toolkit for the game? DOS2 had one but it was trash tier.
Wizards of the Coast will be damned if a video game ever threatens DnD, so no.
They sadly said that they won't, claimed it's too complex and too much of a mess. Shane, we could have gotten some sick custom modules on this engine.
>IWD3
>NWN3
>ToEE2
>PS:T2
>KotOR3
>Unnamed Ravenloft game
All of these belong to Larian now. Obsidian and Beamdog cucklets need not apply.
>
None of those will happen except maybe the Ravenloft game and it'll suck ass because Larian can't write a serious story without Marvel-tier quips littered throughout the dialogue. Also they never stick the landing so have fun with your 2 minute cutscene of Strahd dying offscreen with no epilogue
I think Larian could do well with Spelljammer.
should I have a wizard or whatever in my party? currently it's the frog girl the devil girl The shart girl and a rogue
Triple jump, feather fall and longstrider are free outside of combat and useful. Darkness is busted for Rogues.
i have no idea what any of this means, this is my first dnd game but I'll look out for it
go back to the starting area if you missed Gale
There's so many potential companions yet Larian didn't capitalize on this, why?
dude, imagine just how many incomplete and buggy companions we missed out on
cocksucker
Zevlor, Kagha, etc. Could've been interesting companions.
Honestly, this is something that has bothered me with every RPG game I play. I will constantly encounter characters that would much rather have in my party instead of my actual companions.
As long as Swen breathes the retarded origin character system stays and takes priority over everything else. It's a miracle we've got non-origin companions in this game.
He's been making games for 20 years and only 2 if them have this origin system
If anything, their own stats support the fact that people prefer playing custom characters in this type of rpg
>their own stats support the fact that people prefer playing custom characters
True. Yet despite that they're still keen on wasting resources and dev time making a set of companions work as origins instead of just making more companions in general. Not to mention that these origins are very hit and miss as companions to the point of people preferring to play with custom mercs instead.
This might change with Dark Urge. Dark Urge was a huge success.
Dark Urge was the original custom character before they pussied out and split them. Nevermind that in DOS2 you could completely change looks of all origin characters which is absent in BG3.
that probably has to do with how detailed the cutscenes and facial animations are
i assume this is also why there are so few faces to choose from when you're making a character, all of them are animated pretty well with good attention to detail
>have a nice day, my man
>party wizard comes out as a gay
>gandalf chimes in telling him that his ex told him to kill himself
bro you're literally a demon, I'll invite whoever I want wherever I want.
i killed half the goblins, i killed the spiders under moonhaven, i killed the ogres, i killed the harpies, i'm killing the hyenas and gnolls and about to walk into waukeens rest and holy shit man im so fucking tired of it
i just want to hear dialogue and talk to astarion and murder people in my sleep for bhaal and deal with party drama, i don't want to grind for xp yet the game is forcing me to
>lol lmao just lower the difficult haha lol
fuck you
If you are already tired of the combat in the first area you should probably uninstall
Larian, remake bg2 pls.
B2 has better story and sheet game
I don't want Larian to touch bg2 with a 10 foot pole. if it ain't broke, don't fix it
we will still have the original.
i would like to play BG2 remade with Larian's engine.
anyone playing Gloomstalker (ranger)? misty step all day
Alfira should have been recruitable instead of Halsin. I was hoping he would be cool during Early Access but they thrust him into the role of overly-horny social retard while bizarrely Astarion is the least gay of all the male companions
i don't want a full party but the difficulty of the encounters forces me to have one
I don't even want to imagine how long are fights without full party.
Yep, I wanted to just conquer the world and have fun with just my wizard and astarion
lol nope you can't do that
you fucking idiot you fucking retard you absolute cretin fool how dare you try to have fun in the video game, you MUST have dumb frog bitch and cleric slut in your party constantly bickering and bitching at you and each other and the rest of the entire fucking world lol lmao isnt it awesome and fun and great?
such a stupid fucking decision that goes against everything dnd is about
the difficulty is way overtuned for solo play but you can use whatever combination of characters you want even without respecing them
I benched shart the microsecond I recruited a fourth person
I finished the game with only the main character and Shadowheart, I either killed the other companions or straight up reject any other offer to join the camp
I played a Berserker and reclassed Shadowheart to be a Sorcerer.
There's a lot of savescumming in every fights, but it's doable
>try hunter ranger
>the entire class is just setting hunter's mark and autoattacking
what a piece of shit
why does no one play monk?
also when can I change the class of my characters? I heard that's something you can do
When you meet mr bones. It's like 20-30 minutes from the start of the game if you beeline for it
you have to break Withers out of the tomb at the start of the game, behind the locked door on the beach
he resurrects people at first, then later is able to change your class and recruit party hirelings
can I change my party members class like lazer or shart?
yes
You can’t change their initial class
Wyll will always be at least a warlock 1 etc but you can respec any other levels you did
You can definitely change their initial class, you just can't change shit like their background
Oh
I played monk on my most recent playthrough and I think it might actually be broken, and that's without doing stupid meta shit like dual classing rogue and taking tavern brawler
what does dual classing rogue get you?
thief bonus bonus action
IF I SEE ONE MORE FUCKING GOBBER OUTSIDE THAT GATE I'M GOING TO SET FIRE TO THIS FUCKING GROVE
I mean, Khaga was basically also going to set fire to the grove.
Is this the thread?
God, goblins in this game are the definition of butterfaces. I have no idea why they made their models so fucking hot if you can't even fuck them
God I wanted to burry my face between her legs imagine the smell of sweat and boggo pussy juice
Currently on my evil Durge run and about to head into the goblin camp to wife up Minthara and massacre the Grove. What are the quests that you can't do once you proceed to act 2? Want to rush to act 2 immediately to get Minthara and then go back to do all the act 1 quests I can still do.
I think everything in the underdark except maybe the grymforge shit with nere, duegar, etc is unimpacted.
>No stop being racist against us we are not demon spawn :~~*((
>omg goblins! KILL THEM KILL THEM KILLTHEM KILLTHEM KILLTHEMKILLTHEMKILLTHEM
Why are tieflings such hypocrites? Is it the devil blood in their veins?
>nudge the idol with mage hand
>suddenly the druids flip out and slaughter all the tieflings
a little extreme I must say.
Zevlor did go out like a champ tho, was surrounded by like 4 dead bear druids.
Are there any other instances where you can cause NPCs to sperg out and start killing each other. I wanna do a troll run where I cause as much chaos as possible without getting caught, pretty much just go invisible and watch everyone sperg out
Anon, there's barely any reactivity in the game past act 1. The closest thing to the idol is killing Nightsong which instantly dooms entire Las Light inn.
Would yall?
I saved that bitch so many times I got a freaking achievement, she OWES me sex and should become my personal cocksleeve.
She glitched out and won't talk anymore. I had to kill her. No idea what use I can get out of her after I raided the goblin camp.
Yes, if only because of how much effort they put in to keep bringing her back. She should definitely be a camp follower that just scrounges up junk or some shit.

Hows this game run on PS5? I don't have a goo enough PC to run this.
Is the deluxe edition bonus items worth it?
This game is actually fine at 30 FPS for once but framerate in act 3 on PS5 is laughable.
No, they are actually completely worthless.
They keep making patches for the game right? I hop they patch act 3 then.
How worthless are they? I never played D&D Before
They don't have any effects and the only weapon included has stats of a butter knife.
I thought there was a maske that lets you change your appearance.
I just got done doing the raid again and I forgot how underwhelming it is.
two cosmetics: a cape and hate, a shitty rapier, and the only useful thing is a disguise mask which you really don't need but the option is nice I guess
Mask of the shape-shifter is alright If you don't want to waste a spellslot for disguise and the dye looks nice on any armor but beyond that not really.
Speaking of the deluxe items.
>Fane- Mask of the shapeshifter
>Lohse- Lute
>Sebille- Dagger
>Red Prince- Cape
>Beast- Hat
>Ifan- ??
Did Ifan not get any representation or is the dye somehow related to him?
Ifan got nothing.

learn how saving throws work
Concentration checks are CON saving throws. Don't dump CON on your caster or try to get Advantage on CON saving throws.
I never understood this fight. Sometimes he'll just walk up to you and you can tell him to kill the gays in the cave but sometimes he'll just fight you to the death
How do you prevent companion deaths? With enough disapproval I assume they can leave you permanently?
>With enough disapproval I assume they can leave you permanently?
This is a game for casuals.
Wyll, Karlach and Gale leave permanently if you kill the tieflings but I don't think they just randomly fuck off otherwise
Do they still leave if you don't kill the tieflings directly?
No but you miss out on the tiefling content down the road which may or may not be a big deal
Did someone make playable goblins yet?
NONONONO
I have no idea what people see in this boring ass game. I have never played such an efficiently stultifying mix of "seen it" and too much fucking cutscenes and waiting around.
My gf won't be watching me play this garbage because we don't feel included.
>84 hours in
>almost done with Act 3
>realise I never found this gay and left him to die
>gonna load a save from 20+ hours ago
fucking goddamnit I'm never gonna be done with game am I?
>Insight says Gortash totally won't betray you if you just buddy up with him
He is absolutely betraying me the nanosecond he can. There's no way.
>let the players side with bad guy
>realize they will have to do more work to make this work
>kill him immediately in a cutscene at the very first opportunity in result
Bravo, Larian.
Oh, don't get me wrong, it was just convenient to agree at the time, even the fucking squid said 'we'll just fuck him if it works out better for us', I just find it baffling that the insight check said he was cool
It makes sense more or less, to be fair. Shit is about to blow, you prove to him that you're level-headed and he's all for it. Backstabbing can come later.
He invited me to his personal chamber with his 30 ten-ton fuckbots and Wyll's fucked up brain-eaten dad, I was fully expecting him to just try to kill us if I told him to fuck off
