You stood aside and let them judge the thieving gypsy shit, right? As she proceeded to prove them right seconds later.
Idk I kill tieflings on sight
No because she gives you a cool power later.
How would you know that in the moment?
Doesn't matter.
But to answer your question seriously: she's a young child, the idol was returned and if you don't get involved the theft was enough to turn all but like two druids against the tieflings. Justice that is not tempered with mercy is just brutality.
Damn, I shouldnt have interfered then. All for Shadowheart's approval and Im already bored of this b***h.
By that I mean the druids are mad enough they're down to kick out the tieflings unless you bring Halsin back, kill the druids, or expose Kagha for working with shadow druids.
nope. they were welcomed in and she took advantage. She's lucky I wasn't left in charge after Halsin left because I would have ejected them the second he didn't come back and killed anyone who stayed.
Neutral Good
vs
648032597
Lawful Neutral
A Lawful Neutral would demand equivalent compensation and would have her labor to help the druids enact the ritual by running around carrying components and looking after animals, not just kill her to make an example out of her. It's an unironically a chaotic evil act.
>not playing an omniscient god
anon...
>he didn't choose Paladin his first playthrough
It's the most popular for a reason. Walk up in that b***h like "oh you speak of justice? I AM justice" and then style all over everyone.
That said, first night with Shadowheart was awkward as frick considering I'm a dragonfaced bastard with sharp fricking teeth.
Not him, but I was shocked to hear its the most popular class. Not that I wouldn't want to try it. But hearing that you can hold a trial.... I wish I had done that for my 2nd playthrough.
I was pretty shocked myself since it's the class I always use in D&D. Paladin is for sure best choice for good guy run.
Yea I was SUPER close to doing it for my first playthrough, but for some reason I picked fighter.
I think I had misheard that one of the companions was a paladin so i decide not to go that way.
Its not that involved and it works just like the original conversation only that you don't have to roll to convince Kharga to let her go.
That's okay, that's still kinda cool. I probably won't do Paladin just yet.
Though Dark urge Paladin does sound kinda cool.
Paladin sounds the most like the "hero" class and conveniently it gives you a lot of dialogue prompts.
Plus it is also one of the strongest classes in BG3 especially if you multiclass.
I'm kind of at a loss with my characters and picked whatever feat seemed useful, what's best for paladin?
I grabbed attribute increase, aiming to get to 20 cha. Not sure about the other one. Shield master? Sentinel? hmm....
Ah.. shit.. I picked up some dialogue one thinking that would be better than charisma. Well, got a decent amount of money, guess I'll respec.
The current meta is to max char and multiclass into pact of the blade warlock and oathbreaker.
You get AIS (with hag hair) and GWM or PAM.
>multiclass into pact of the blade warlock and oathbreaker.
Impure. Disgusting.
>with hag hair
I'd never let that scum live.
>I'd never let that scum live.
She shows up again to kill later.
Excellent I can savor the moment again.
No, if you let her live she shows up again to kill later. There is literally no downside to taking the hags hair which is ironic considering the lore.
the downside is you don't inconvenience one of the most evil things alive
If you kill her she comes back in act 3 regardless
Sounds like more buggy act 3 shit then. Even more reason to just take the hag's hair.
No, I think that's supposed to happen. She tells you that even if you kill her, she'll come back. I think her second death is the true death.
no it's part of the story and dnd hag lore
The lore is that they have escape plans. She was literally dead because you can use speak to dead on her corpse.
make sure to kill her properly the 2nd time
hags don't die easily
>meta
>in a single-player game
Please stay in League of Legends or Overwatch or some other manufactured competitive trash where you belong, freak.
>meta
Fricking hell you are a bug person this is a single player game and there is an insane amount of options as far as breaking it. There is no meta.
Have you never played an rpg before?
how strong?
you can entangle ONE undead per long rest I thing, and you can summon 1 shadowblade that does 1-6 dmg I think on your hand until long rest thats at act 2, so pretty useless
No, I embraced my dark urge and encouraged her to run while knowing the outcome was her death.
no I'm a tiefling supremacist
Why would you align with the spawn of Satan, Faerun is for the humans only
my character is a tiefling
decided he would also be slightly racist
>Satan
Christcucks can't even play a fricking RPG without larping as crusaders.
Baldurs gate is a call to crusade against the hells, you just bury your head in the sand
Anon, the Nine Hells in the Forgotten Realms are ruled by the Devil Asmodeus, an actual israeli demon
You talk like a gay!
How appropriate. You fight like a cow!
Hey i want you to know you're a moronic wienersucker.
>all the christcuck seething in the replies
kek, knew Ganker was /misc/-lite with gamergate homosexuals but it's always entertaining to see how predictable they are
I WILL destroy the Enlightened faction in Starfield as well.
Gloria in excelsis Deo
You realize Satan used to be a god in DnD a long ass time ago don't you?
also, frick thieflings in the ass, fricking useless demon semen
Why would I align with a dirt worshipping elf then?
Dont kill the elves the gnomes and the tieflings make faerun a human ethnostate
Into the bear pit with this little thief (after Astarion is done with the bears).
I would sooner let a million tiefling refugees into my home than harbor one druid.
>Christcucks can't even play a fricking RPG without larping as crusaders.
>Christcucks and trannies both live in complete delusion
>Both insert their delusions fricking everywhere
Why do you hate them again?
You sound awfully like a Shar-cuck anon
Shar is cringe, my Cleric follows Talos.
Dude what the frick? This is Ganker not /x/.
The frick are you whinging about? Go back to preddit if it bothers you gay
i summoned a mage hand to knock over the idol while my party was screens away.
those druids purged em good.
>do her quest later
>she says she'll join my camp
>never see her in camp
is this a bug?
Did you check by Withers?
I love how she calls him bone man. Made both her and Withers based in my books.
went back to the cemetary and had to do her whole quest again, instead of telling her her parents are dead again I told her I would find them and she should wait in camp. This time she's in the camp but she just tells me to leave her alone instead of talking to me. idk what's up with the kid
She'll be better after a long rest or so.
Could be a bug, could just be something Larian forgot to implement before releasing the game underbaked.
and trannies both live in complete delusion
>>Both insert their delusions fricking everywhere
>Why do you hate them again?
I accept your concession.
can we go back to talking about tieflings?
its like all you humans think about is sex
Ah yes, kill them all
They'd be better with hooves.
some tieflings do!
Not the ones you can make in the character creator, though, which is another little disappointing thing about BG3.
that's true, being that it's based on 5e of DnD in not surprised. afaik most people didn't like the idea of their monstrous race character having monstrous qualities
Scalp all tieflings
Uh no? The second I entered the room, it became my domain. I presided over the trial of the thief and sentenced appropriatly.
You can do that?
I was debating for a while about the "I'll make sure she never steals again" option, but then I realized I have a much more important mission than looking after some brat and if her parents failed to raise her properly I don't see how I could do better.
Only as a Paladin. I just stepped in, took over the entire room midconversation and held court. A few outbursts but I ruled that room with an Iron Fist.
what kind of correction did you deem necessary for her?
If you're a Paladin then Kagha allows you to act as the judge for the "trial".
She's very dumb. I guess it makes sense though considering she's a strawman written by an AIDS homosexual to represent people against mass migration
It's not because she's dumb as much as there is an understanding that paladins oaths bind them. You can trust a paladin to judge because to judge wrongly fricks him as well.
>Most adult tieflings in the grove are just worried about their current circumstances and doing what they can to survive.
>Literally every fricking child tiefling are thieving little c**ts being organized by the biggest c**t of them all and are single-handedly responsible for the poor image everyone else has of them.
I wish there was an option to JUST kill Mol and the other little Thievlings, frick 'em.
>Get a shit impression from all the Tiefling kids
>Eventually make my way down their hideout
>Tell the shitkid leader that I go wherever I want
>Now I need to roll a 20 whenever I talk to a Tiefling in the Grove
>Even if I succeed I get aggro because of a bug(?)
Mol is buggy as frick, avoid talking to her at all costs if you haven't helped all the tiefling kids first
Yeah I just ditched most part of the Tiefling-related Grove section. Luckily there's the elevator to dodge most of them and still get to the druids
>doesn't want the op ring
ngmi
I mean... you can? I didn't necessarily care about them. Just a bunch of little thieving c**ts, just like me. Robbed them of everything and let them disappear by ignoring the grove conflict altogether.
Doesn't that get all of the tieflings killed?
the game quest log treats them as if they're alive but they are effectively erased from the game (at least in act 2, not sure about act 3, in act 2 none of the tieflings appear at the last light but Arabella appears at the town?), actually it's a weird mess. Shit sucks for karlachgays because I think that means the tiefling blacksmith is gone. I don't care since I'm mindflayering that b***h anyway for the utilitarian best ending.
>get into hell
>little shit has a contract with Raphael
>be a nice guy and give it to her
>thankless little shit thought she's the one soul on all of Toril that could outsmart a devil
Every other tiefling is fine and range between competent skilled experts (wizard, bard, smith, trader) to honest low-skill labor (the others who get stuck in the refugee camp but still try to make sure everyone gets an honest job. Mol is the only one causing trouble.
That said, Arabela was literally doing a favor to the druids and Kagha is actually projecting.
Mol grew on me and then lost me with this. She's upset I killed her slaveowner.
Insane that Arabella ends up being the based tiefling child.
Same, but it's not that surprising with Arabela.
It's obvious from the start she's the naive, sheltered by kind kid who the other shits bullied into doing the dirty work because she was braver, kinder and dumber than them.
I would have gladly turned my camp into an orphanage, but of course the second orphan I got was obviously Orrin in disguise. She managed to be the most annoying edgelord villain I've ever met. It was a real pleasure to kill her, but they should have give evil characters more options to make her suffer
The way the whole "impostor in your camp" shit is handled is so fricking bad. Gee, i wonder who it is, couldn't be the random kid that just fricking showed up. And you can't do a single fricking thing to confront her.
i assume you can't just kill her?
since its not a real crpg
you can kill anything in this game, even stuff in your camp
just nuke that kid, but she isn't always Orin, to me it was lae zel
You can kill kids in this game?
based?
Yes, part of rescuing the druid is killing goblin children.
very good
she isn't the imposter
I also never had to figure out who the imposter was. I guess it might matter if you go after Orin first?
The kid isn't always Orin, it was Halsin in my playthrough
Yea and I've heard of people who have it as Lazeal.
I'm surprised there are playthroughs where it's Yenna or wahtever. That seems too obvious.
What do you do? How do you find out who the double?
I just went to long rest and Halsin was in bear form about to maul the kid, I told him to stop, he turned back to human form and went on this monologue about how the corruption of the city was having an effect on him and then when I offered go help he started laughing and turned into Orin.
Hmmmm, in my playthrough, he was talking mad shit about city life too... maybe he was the imposter in my game too.
Can I just straight up go and kill her, or do I need to finish some questiline first?
I've just entered the lower city.
You can but she says she'll kill the companion she kidnapped if you don't kill Gortash first. idk if she actually goes through with it because I just said "alright b***h you win" but I would assume she does.
At what point does the kidnapping happen?
idk when exactly but when I went to Gortashs coronation he told me that someone in my camp had been replaced by a Bhaal cultist and I did that pretty early into Act 3
Yea, and if you kill her daddy, she'll try to kill the captive anyway.
I stumbled upon solving that almost as soon as I entered the lower city. I explored my way into the sewers and Halsin suddenly ran at me talking some bullshit about being chased by a monster or something and it was immediately apparent that it was Orin fricking with me again, and I was able to call her out. Then she told me she'd kidnapped Halsin and the impostor that had been in my camp disappeared after that.
If you get that event, it means several things happened:
1.You missed your chance to spot the impostor.
2.The kid was not the impostor.
3.The kid is now dead.
There seem to be several options of what can happen:
1.Yenna is the impostor. Several clues can point in that direction, including the cat and the speech pattern. She might kill the cat and cook it for you to try to act creepy. Orin really is a pathetic shit.
2.Halsin/Laezel/someone else is the impostor (never a person from your active party it seems). They can start an event in the camp and try to kill Yenna only to reveal they were Orrin all along and have your companion.
3.If you go into a specific part of the dungeons, you get the event where one of your companion stumbles out after being attacked, but it's Orin.
I'm not sure how the game determines who is who and whether it doesn't cheat (e.g. if you attack Yenna, can you be sure it's going to be Orin? What if you just knock her unconscious with a Sneak Attack)?
>and the kids are enabled by their parents and later Karlach "you will soon be scamming with the greats" Karlach says to kid seller of bullshit
you can take a tiefling from the hood live, but you can't take the thief out of tieflings
>I accept your concession.
Can we please stop talking about trannies for 5 minutes?
Go back
Two words:
Drow Pregancy.
Can I kill the hobgoblin & the goblin priestess while still siding with the goblins? I want their tadpoles.
I did, well, the priestess at least. You do meet up with them again later though so you might want to reconsider doing it unless you're tadpole maxxing
Yeah the priestess does make sense, since if you ask her for a cure she gets you alone and tries to murder you. Just wanted to make sure I can murder the hobgoblin too. I'm going to creampie that drowess though.
>I'm going to creampie that drowess though.
careful, you get the best sex but her romance in act 2-3 is currently broken
She was such a disappointment. Ruined my ebil playthrough with her shift in personality after you recruit her. She wasn't the girl I fell in love with...
I'm hoping they fix it by the time I get to Act 2.
They probably won't. Don't expect anything like that until the complete release, rather than the extended "totally not Early Access" that the game is currently in.
kill them, ignore Minthara, ignore tiefling conflict, gather slugs, don't use slugs but keep them in a bag on a character, reach act 2, rush to save Minthara, and enjoy the game bugging out with slugs,
there is this glitch where you recruit Minthara and the game suddenly thinks you're slugging hardcore because Minthara already has some slug slots unlocked and suddenly the slugs that you have been gathering are added to that pool but they arent deducted and somehow the game duplicated the amount of slugs i had to like 20+
But I want to murder the entire grove and then creampie the drow while bathed in tiefling and druid blood. It's important for character reasons.
I understand.
thats kinda hot
Killing hobgoblin triggers aggro on goblin entire camp, so skip hobgoblin. Do not use glitches to go around it because the game is already broken enough and you will only make it worse. You will be swimming in tadpoles anyway.
In the early access you could send minthara's band out and then kill Rogzlin and the rest of them and still do the massacre
I think you can still do that.
I think everyone immediately leaves now once you accept her proposition. I forgot to check if anyone stays in, to be honest.
Naw, it's just her and maybe 7 or 8 goblins that leave
I was the same as you anon, but a buddy of mine whom I was gaming with couldn't get over the fact that you were killing a kid.
those horns are perfect for holding onto while facefricking her
Yes! Just like my Ganyu doujin!
I did, but when I talked to her corpse she sid she is 9 and half... sorry bros but dicky is my weakness and I can't harm them
Making a bard. Tiefling or Half-Drow?
When I first got to the grove I liked the tieflings, many of the adult tieflings were good people, I thought Zevlor was a good leader or as good as he could manage. Then I met Mol and Matti and whoever the frick and they confirmed all stereotypes. They are unrepentant theiving c**ts, all of them. A whole lot of ungrateful theives and criminals. That b***h did steal their idol and the rest of them steal everything that's not nailed down. Then I follow one into their little hideout after passing a perception check and think "oh this is cute, a kids hideout" then their little shit leader is not only unrepentant but threatens me and my party. As if some tiefling children can take down 4 armored evil killers.
In conclusion, frick theiflings, kill them all.
i did, but she fled and got killed so i save scummed and had them let her go. Sometimes this game is stupid with how things happen.
>kid steal some stuff
>i agree to lock her up in the meantime
>she dies when i choose that option
pretty dumb tbh
So what? It's not like you told them to kill her, she chose to flee justice, fully aware of the consequences.
i killed all of the thieflings including children when the one little shit kid tried pickpocketing me and then the other thiefling homosexual tried to stop me from slapping him
>Whole point of rescuing Halsin is so the tieflings don't have to leave
>...They leave anyways
10/10 writing Larian
I thought they only leave once you dispatch the goblin commanders?
The whole point of rescuing Halcin was to stop the Thorn ritual to give you the time to clear the path for the refugees to escape, except you don't need time because all of the goblin commanders are pretty much right outside the door to Halcin's jail
They do, I didn't meet Halsin until I killed minthara and He just sort of showed up in the druid grove and thanked me for helping.
They wanted to leave though? The whole reason why they are there is because of the goblins
Personally, my whole idea was to just genocide all the gobbos and gnolls so the tieflings could get the frick out of the grove, but that never came up in dialogue for some reason.
It is explicitly suggested by both Kagha and Zevlor.
Kagha, because she wants to kill the other druids without obstruction, Zevlor because he wants to be out of this crazy place and on his way to the city.
They want Halsin to return to stop Kagha from proceeding with the ritual, which will force them to leave while the gobbos are prowling the roads. You're not getting a pat in the back for your moronic take, ESL-kun.
You can stop Kagha from doing the ritual before you even go to the gobbo camp. When you do that Zevlor still says they can't leave because the goblins are everywhere and will attack them. Halsin just talked about helping with ur parasite but he wants the goblins handled first.
>triple aaa studio
>walmart ass glued on horns
Gaming is dead
>stole the idol to stop the ritual, not for money
Nah, Arabella is based
Also, she helps in the final fight, which is more than I can say for the homosexual druids.
Who killed Wyll?
There is a certain other warlock you may occasionally catch sulking about your camp at night. I encountered her at the party sneaking up on our guy.
Hmm, mysterious. I'll have to keep an eye out for any suspicious characters. I can't believe he's gone...
I didn't, but I dressed him up in the robe and sword we got for killing Karlach after he had a crisis of conscience over a tiefling I didn't even engage in dialogue with.
Did you have a "dark urge"?
How's Minthara? I'm doing a dark urge game and want to recruit her
Her quest flags are currently broken/incomplete.
wtf and they still released the game
Yes. You like?
classic larian move. might as well wait foe the "definitive edition" in a year or two
she can still be evil when you're evil, and she is the only party member who vocally supports making evil choices for power (sometimes astarion) like when she encourages shadowheart to kill the nightsong or astarion to claim his cazadors power as his right and ascend, or making a deal with gortash and planning to kill him when his guard is down
she's bugged
don't romance her unless you wanna do it for a single scene
just wait breh
Romance is broken and she doesn't have a big companion quest like the others. However she has some of the best dialogues in the game and still gets those moments where she chimes in like any other party member. She's also an oath of vengeance paladin which means she fricks shit up in combat
She's terrible. Her shift in personality to a paladin instead of a villainess made me legit sad
Easily the best companion.
But utterly broken like Karlach because homosexuals at Larian rushed an unfinished game out.
I fricked up the owlcub recruitment and want to restart T_T
same here, fricker just doesn't want to leave the cave and has been eating his mother for like 10 long rests. Should have just rekted the mother without talking to her at all
dont you have to go to the goblin camp to get the owl cub after killing the mom? i didn't care enough to try but there was something you could with it there.
owlbear is bugging out on my second durge playthrough
>tell absolute cultist homosexuals to go kill the bear

>go to cave

>aggro the bear by hitting it or something
>owlbear eats mother
>go to goblin camp
>goblin still chasing only the chicken
>oh well chase the chicken
>no matter how many long rests the owlbear cub is still eating the mother in the cave
first playthrough
>kill absolute homosexuals
>go to cave
>pass check
>aggro the bear by trying to steal egg
>go to camp
>kill the chicken, don't do race
>few long rests later owlbear just appears at goblin camp
>convince goblins to give me the bear
>shows up later at camp
You have to rest before going to the goblin camp and after encountering it's mom
Anon the absolute morons can help in the owlbear fight just kill the mother and the fight ends.
Also this is useful as they basically stunlock the b***h.
I know they can help but those homosexuals dying to the owlbear doesnt net me XP, never had difficulties with the mother itself on my own.
It's just that some flags frick up if you pass the "we not gun do nuthin to ur cub i swear" check and then frick her up
Why are all kids in baldurs gate 3 either demons or ugly or both?
What? Are there seriously no cute kids in the game?
To prevent you sick fricks from being sick fricks
Yawn
It's just pixels anon.

Kagha should have been recruitable.
she looks like fricking beavis
I can fix her.
There should have been "evil" alternatives to all the "good" party members.
I wish. Red hair, elf, total b***h. I need it
ah yes the game needs 3 druid companions
BG1 had like 4 solo-class thieves, along with the multi-class ones
besides, Halsin and Kahga would not be in the same party
I think you guys don't realize how shitty Kagha really is, if you look into it.
When Halsin comes back, she goes to being #1 loser.
And if you call her out on Shadow druid shit, she either dies easily or can be 'redeemed'.
If you make the snake kill Arabella, she acts like a huge beta.
She's a huge loser. Only tough when it comes to bully a small kid.
Yes, and that could be fuel for a decent character arc...
Uh huh. But then you can say this for any character.
The smart ogres would be better companions.
BG1 also had 25 companions in total so it wasn't an issue.
Feels like there should really be more party options in general, none of the base ones appeal to me at all
>cant recruit the vampire hunter
>idol worshippers
by allah I swear, frick those hippie tree loving homosexuals, I stole the idol for the kids and then stole the idol for myself from them
>the only memento he has of his dead mother

>tiefling kid swindling passerbys with the "ring trick"
>he didn't make him keep doing heads or tails again and again and again and again until the little frick gave up and let you keep the ring.
Shameful. Not only did I out magic trick him but I shit all over his scheme.
has any posted that twitter thread about a black women playing a tiefling and complaining about racism?
i haven't met my (you) quota for the month
Is there any way to side with Kagha and gas the tieflings AND goblins?
i wish
yes
just tell the tieflings to leave before you kill the goblins then kill all the tieflings
then go back and kill the goblins
you're screwing yourself out of a ton of quests doing that though
I tried to side with the shadow druids but when I told the old midget with the breasts I wouldn't stand in their way she said I already had before and attacked. I didn't do shit other than encourage the devil child to get killed by a snake I don't know what their problem was.
what happens to nightc**t if you save her just for shadowbutt but you massacre her dyke lover Isobel at the inn when nobody else is there?
I hate nightc**t with passion and I pray for mandatory heterosexual rape correction mods for the both of them.
i think she rages and gets all sad but doesn't know you killed her unless you tell her
does she still follow you to the camp for act 3 where you can sell her for the wizard?
yeah i believe so, make a save just in case though
Would. But with love and care and gifts.
And my dick
was anyone else really disappointed that no one recognized halsin when you go back to the grove as him? seemed like a detail they wouldn't have forgotten
halsin is completely broken in act 1
he doesnt even get a tent until you reach act 2 and he doesnt react to anything that happens like every other companion
he gets some interactions later on but still very little compared to the main group
yeah but i dont think that so much being broken as it is him just being a temporary ally until you ask him to stay with you at the camp
Wait till you find out that Minthara has no special lines in the Underdark.
Congrats, you convinced me to not romance her till we get more patches devoted to her.
hell, any patch devoted to her.
>patches devoted to her.
pffffhahhahahahahahahhaa
I'll settle for a minor part of a patch.
Her not having lines for Underdark is not something that people ever mention unlike her other, obvious problems. Unless it gets added to the list of usual complains we won't see anything regarding this, I'm afraid.
>find out isobel's secret while doing the Shar gauntlet
>get back out after the Shadowfell
>tfw I can't call her out for being Ketheric's daughter
You can tell her later.
Why MC is so surprised with The Emperor if we already met a normal Mindflayer in the underdark?
I made that one girl flip the coin until she gave up the scam. Pretty funny
nah, my character is a thief too, would be kinda stupid, so i simply told her parents that it was their fault, as everyone should regardless of being thieves or not.
How long does this owlbear cub take to get in my camp. I freed him from the goblins after killing his mom. Then I killed all the goblins, freed halsin, met the gith dragon rider and now I'm just getting a tiefling party and Lae'zel and Shadowheart trying to kill each other when I long rest
took me like 5-6 long rests till he appeared wounded and I was in the underdark at that point

I am a bad Paladin and I should be ashamed.
I didn't even stake Astarion, I justified it with dicey logic by saying to myself that as a vengeance paladin he hasn't committed the sin yet so he's still good.
I need to grow some balls already if I'm going to keep going down this path. Nobody likes a spineless paladin
>I am a Paladin
>Didn't kill the daywalking fiend immediately on the beach when he saw him.
Wow I'm embarrassed for your mother.
>Nobody likes a spineless paladin.
Nobody likes paladins period. You're all homosexuals. t. fighter
There are two types of paladins and both of them are completely legitimate and equally compelling to play.
The first kind looks at characters like Lae'zel, Shadowheart, and Astarion and sentences them to death for their sinful nature on the spot. They are a scalpel that excises evil from the world with ruthless efficiency and brooks no nonsense from liars, thieves, and undead. They do not let obvious evil talk their way free of punishment for their crimes and serve as a warning to others to repent or perish.
The second kind will still kill those that have truly moved beyond the capacity for repentance or who are causing immediate harm to others, but will literally move Heaven and Earth to do the impossible and redeem the irredeemable. They're the ones that get to the root of Astarion or Shadowheart's trauma, or make Lae'zel see that her evil society is structured upon an obscene lie, and turn them into forces for good.
>Lae'zel
>Commitment to wiping out the filth of the Illithid and degenerate races is evil in anon's mind
You can't even deusvult-gay right
She worships a false god that is also an undead Lich. She dies for the same reason Shadowheart dies for worshiping the goddess of darkness and loss.
>he didn't just switch Shadowheart's allegiances
Bro, you fricked up. Also, whitehaired Shadowheart is a huge improvement. This is coming from a man who loves dark haired women.
That's why there are two kinds of paladin. I usually prefer the "convert them" type on first playthroughs so I get to see more content.
Speaking of Shadowheart, is there any benefit to having her kill Nightsong and be a justicar of Shar?
she gets some extra abilities which are not amazing but can be used creatively in up close combat using spirit guardians and all those pieces of gear which give you bonuses for being in concealment. makes her a bit more formidable and fits her story progression very well. main reason is really for the story
Light Domain>Deception Domain
This should speak for itself.
>changes her hair white
>eyebrows, lashes, and pubes still black
She should have gone all the way.
>the githyankoids torture and kill people of all other races because they believe them to be inferior
>the creche in act 2 is literally a temple of lathander (unequivocally good god) that they took over by murdering all the civilians, clerics, women and children and they brag about it in their documents
>leadership manipulates them through lies and constant threat of death
>they are all very pleased if laezel is still in your party and you massacre the druids and tieflings
pretty evil, sure they fight evil enemies but also literally everybody else
The first option there is a moral granstanding tyrant, and isn't covered by any paladin oath, not even Tyrant. You're moronic.
Tyrant sounds much worse than what that anon said.
So basically
>stereotypical npc annoying npc paladin
vs
>actual hero of the world and main character
>a paladin lets a child be imprisoned for a petty crime
Are you moronic or did you even look at the Oath book that's in your inventory? "Sin" in the christian morality sense isn't a fricking thing in Faerun, you moron
When I was a kid I stole my dad's cigarettes because I had heard that they were going to kill him.
The tiefling kid stole the idol because she had heard that if the ritual continued they were going to have to leave the grove and go to certain death at the hands of the goblins. The kid was obviously scared straight just by being caught and threatened with the snake. What's the point of locking her up?
As for Astarion, there's a lot of mitigating factors. First of all your character doesn't know he's a vampire right away. By the time you do find out he insists that he hasn't been drinking people and is sticking to animals. A paladin isn't a deus vult moron, even in old editions.
You need allies to deal with your tadpole and the problems of the road and Astarion hasn't done anything explicitly evil other than exist (and remember you can't see his character sheet so you don't know his alignment). Sending him on his way is one thing, but it's far more pragmatic and probably better to keep him close so that you can make sure he doesn't get up to any evil shit.
HOWEVER any paladin who lets the hag live is a fricking idiot who should be stripped of his powers.
Exactly this. You immediately think she's a tiefling thief but once you hear her reasoning, you know she was in the right.
The problem is that you really can't solo the game. I don't playing with a party but even on story mode you can't do shit by yourself. I tried playing a paladin with just shadowheart and could barely survive goblin small goblin ambushes.
So as much as I want to take the hard road and kill companions, logically my characters life is chained to theirs.
kinda sad but Warlocks are the best to solo, they mog the shit out of wizards and sorcerers.
i didn't make my mind up but i sided with the goblins after that nettie b***h tried to kill me
I massacred them for my wife.
I knew I made the right choice when she gave me cuddles after some suck and frick
>grandma voice
how is this not a turnoff for you homosexuals?
We're clearly not homosexuals because we're the only ones that make fertile drow elves pregnant.
It's a very upper class English aristocrat accent, not a grandma voice you cultureless plebeian.
she sounds hoarse as if she had her throat atrophied by sucking so much hobgoblin dick.
Don't get me wrong I like her but she sounds like a fricking old ass hag. Mods should fix this.
We like women.
Silence now. Creature.
It only makes me harder.
>not solely getting off on squeaky e-girl noises made by japanese women
is this seriously Ganker
Squeaky e-girls and old hags are the only things that make me hard, anything inbetween might as well not exist.
how indeed
After what they did to Viconia Larian should never be allowed near Baldur's Gate again
>cast hunger of hadar on a group of enemies
>allies walk into it
>after the battle is over they turn on me because I "attack them"
I swear the ally ai is much worse than the enemy ai
>kill sahagins or wahtever in baldur's gate
>fisher thanks me.
>the IMMEDIATE SECOND cutscene ends, he has teleported into a cloud of daggers and died
>city watch blames me and I have to persuade them I didn't murder him
Larian at LEAST let me pause the game to avoid this or have these morons NOT walk into dangerous shit. He wasn't even CLOSE to it.
>Dominate person
>Chance to break on damage taken
>Dominated person proceeds to walk in out and out my cloud of daggers to break the effect
AI cheating and what you mentioned is beyond infuriating at times
Harpers did the same thing in moonrise with my firewall, luckily Jaheira didn't care.
Total Tiefling Death
>jaheira runs into the frontlines and dies turn 1 at moonrise
does this frick some things up? Do I have to revive her?
>not protecting mommy milfy
you dun goofed
there was literally nothing I could do, It happened in 1 turn
>spoiler
frick, guess Ill do the whole thing over again
>frick, guess Ill do the whole thing over again
protip: invade moonrise but during the dialogue with Black person orc woman just switch character and dump a bunch of smokebarrels near the cultists and get some characters on the ceiling so they can push off the archers
I had the same issue. You can't revive her as she isn't a companion.
also, this locks you out of getting Minsc
She should be tougher, not my fault. Maybe next playthrough
>tiefling kid entranced by harpy song at the beach
>no option to say "go on lad, find out where the sound's coming from"
0/10
>no option to rape the harpies
this is the real tragedy
So is this game worth the money? Havent played any of the previous games.
In 4 years when it will finally get a 50% off discount.
Yes. it's amazing.
I pirated it and am considering buying it. I hear the later acts have a ton of bugs though so I might wait for a sale and for shit to be fixed.
It's not that bad. I did everything in Act III and my experiences:
>Getting into the House of Hope is bugged but there's a known work around
>game will sometimes slow down. usually fixes itself but if you want, you can quit and log back in and it'll be back to peak performance.
no
demon race cool
druids BAD
KILL ALL DRUIDS
I FRICKING HATE DRUIDS
Sweet minthara snuggles
>Not chopping her head off to get her neat outfit
shame she had to go and work with disgusting goblins.
Is that Prince or MJ?
Looks like Prince
That homie is Rockwell
Now that is spot on.
>Bardlock looks like 80s R&B stars
Excellent. Now post you're toons gays
Mine's just white half-elf self-insert as they are bland enough that I can skip playing human
Not at my PC at the moment but playing an evil lloth sword drow bard that loves his minthara and lae'zel dommy mommies
Is there a way to talk your way into the goblin camp without rubbing shit on your face? At first I thought "oh, well I'll just throw the shit in his face and we'll all have a laugh" which resulted in a fight.
Then I thought okay, fine, I'll just politely refuse. "YOU AINT GETTIN IN UNLESS YOU RUB SHIT ON YOUR FACE" which resulted in a fight.
Would intimidation have gotten me in without issue? I ended up just getting some high ground and killing them all and no one seemed to care inside the camp.
Disguise self into a Drow. It's that easy.
Ya know.. I have yet to use disguise self. I keep forgetting about shit.
damn, I completely forgot about that little bastard. Every time I went looking for him I got distracted by something else.
You can also get a different outcome with the petrified druid leader in the underdark if you disguise self as a female drow before he speaks with you after the fight
Just go save the gob at the theifling camp, easiest way in.
intimidation, persuasion, deception, being a drow, using your tadpole powers, stealth if you can manage it
also useful against casters and ranged combatants i should say
killing is just goblin talking
Looks better on her than that Lionel Richie looking mf and I got my decapitation fix with the cringy devil chick
>the "evil" route is the most romantic
What the frick? Shadowheart just keeps talking about all the other dick she sucked.
Best girl minthara fricks like a porn star and cuddles like a pure virgin
i'd grab her by the horns and facefrick her until she steals all of my semen
what happens to gale if you chop his hand off
he dies trapped in the portal realm or whatever
Good riddance. Such a Mary Sue of a character concept.
Why the frick can you kill goblin/tiefling kids, but as soon as you want to give them rape correction that's just TOO FAR?!
Because they don't need correction. Just the rape.
God I want a shortstack onahole goblin wife.
And if the tieflings are gypsy's, I should be able to buy a child bride from them. They are all prostitutes, after all.
There are too many based tieflings for them to be true gypsies.
Dammon is an absolute chad and Karlack is great too.
Game gets props for making loads of likable characters. I understand people might not like Gale for being a mary sue and a bit too annoying early on but I unironically like all the companions.
Gale and wyll are cucks who left because I killed the tieflings in the grove.
But the drow pussy (drussy as I call it) game is too strong.
she doesn't even have any content lol just being evil in this game you lose out on a ton of shit
Gale is such a piece of shit. He doesn't' get to draw moral lines about the grove shit at all. I hate him, wish we could chop his hand off with every character.
Wyll is legit a moralgay, what the frick did you think he was going to do? He's whole life is being a hero.
But he at least is SMART about it.
Lost the nig, beheaded the annoying red b***h. Kept gale through a skill check but I honestly wish I severed that wishy washy gay's hand back when I first encountered him.
>B-but the content!!!
Lmao I'll hear those losers lines and story in my non-durge playthrough but there is no way it'll compare to minthara sex
NTA, but I haven't really started liking any of the companions.
I thought I would like Kar, but I'd put her only above Wyll who is last.
I'd put Astarion and Lae'zel in the top two spots just because I like it when they are buttholes.
Wyll is a decent dude. Lazeal is probably the worst. She grows and improves but still splergs out a bunch.
Astarion is super fun but he disapproves of you making good choices. I don't mean "Morally good" but "correct and intelligent choices".
I get him not liking us doing menial tasks but he gets huffy if I solve issues in the best way.
Astarion is the chaotic evil moron player at your table
>WOWWWWWWW why are you solving problems I just want to stab them
however his story is also one of the better ones and ironically he is the male who is least likely to try to rape you (except maybe Wyll but I didn't use him at all). I think he and Lae'zel are the best characters and I ended up liking Jaheira a lot despite nor liking her in BG2. Minsc feels really out of place.
Yea I loved Astarion.
Hm, I never used Jaheria, I didn't like her much in BG2 but I was also super young and though Aerie was cute.
Minsc I was supersurprised he was the stone lord and as you said, felt out of place. I'd rather they not add him if they are going to misuse him.
Lae'zel is a b***h but it makes sense the way she is. Karlach is just your typical le quirky wisecracker straight out of a marvel movie. Lae'zel may be unlikeable to some karlach is just a shit character
Karlach is an idiot, what the frick are you talking about. She's just a tomboy bro.
Marvel movies have ruined your brain, bro.
I'm glad years of servitude in hell and lack of a heart haven't ruined her quirky sense of humor and her love of dance! Lmao she's garbo
>quirky sense of humor
It's really not quirky. She just makes jokes. Not one liners, not wisecracks. She is just generally a positive person. Which is probably a shield, since she has the absolute saddest conclusion.
I think you're just a homosexual who can't handle having female friends.
>female friends
literally only homosexuals have those no wonder you simp strongman karlACK
Women and gays are enemies, outside of TV and the fake universes women create for themselves.
women and women are enemies too that is how gays and women form "friendships", through mutual hate, gossip and backstabbing
Yep.
That's why only real men have friends.
And roll persuasion/deception rolls to turn everyone against each other.
>someone who jokes around, is a dudebro and is friendly and hates evildoers is a marvel character
kill yourslef
>Lae'zel is a b***h
Sure, but at least she's logical. She will approve of your choices as long as they make sense.
>goblin camp scene
>making my rounds
>Astarion gets in a hissy fit for not fricking him and saying I want some Shadowpuss (reloaded, found a neutral option)
>Lazeal..
>spends two minutes b***hing about how I could have used her as breeding stock had I not turned her away so often
Can't remember if I talked to Wyll or Gale, Astarion immediately wanting dick made me avoid them. Shame cuz I like his character for the most part, the sassy homosexual trope doesn't bother me, just that there's no "not into guys, lets be friends" dialogue option.
You have to know when to reject him after giving him blood. Once that's done, he'll settle down.
>Sassy homosexual trope
He's done surprisingly well.
You should still try to befriend him if you can, you just have to do the right reject options.
Oh I refused to give him blood, no half-elf vamptwink is getting a drop of my paladin's pure and holy blood. That said, as a paladin it's really tough to not piss him off. I made Wyll an assassin since he seemed like more of a tight laced goody goody.
Astarion is the only one I don't mind it from because him wanting to frick as an evil degenerate flamer noble is in character and expected. Every male companion turning into a thirsty gayoid immediately wasn't really necessary
>Wyll's heartbreaks if you don't romance him
Bro, I'm straight and nearly married wit Shadowheart, what were you thinking?
Also I fricked Mizora.
I hated astarion at first for being le homosexual vampiro trope
but ffs man
this guy is the comic relief of the game
you go in expecting some queer lestat and you end up with a vampire austin powers.
legit keeping him in party in the next playthru just for the trashtalk bullshit towards other chars.
and if you turn him down, he stops any attempt of fricking you, unlike gale, where you turn him time and time again and still have his weave scene
Way too many brats that need correction in this game. Hopefully in BG 4 we will be able to do that.
Can you frick any of the goblins in the game? Please tell me at least one of the female goblins in their camp is at least somewhat romanceable. I'm not asking for much, just something, anything.
>also tfw no playable goblin race
Yes. Oh Ao yes!
Frick. Why is this goblin child so hot?
As soon as I saw her I wanted to take her back to camp for rough impregnation.
And I see a lot of the same sentiment, she is the sexiest goblin of all.
You can free a non Absolute goblin priest in the sanctum and frick him in a later act
>more cut content than cyberpunk
>yet redditors give this game a pass 10/10
pathetic
>More cut content
>But implemented in an interesting way
Does that mean it's a 10? No
But do we expect redditors to be mature enough to understand the world isn't black and white? Frick no
BG3 is a solid 7/10 at worst
This but 3/10 at best
Its literally barely playable once you get past the early bits thanks to the sheer number of bugs, its hyped customization makes everyone look the same, the balance is a joke and every character is sex obsessed
t. didn't play the game
t. didn't reach the latter third
Funny how you can instantly tell who reached what part of the game.
I beat the game and I'm almost at act 2 on my second playthrough.
Being contrarian is boring. It's too obvious nowadays since everyone does it for every game. try better bait.
See aboove
Yup.
They had 3 years to fix bugs, fixed over 100 shortfly after release, have had like 5 hotfixes since and its STILL barely playable
Any other industry everyone involved would be fired
>act 3 is unplayable
Works on my computer. What issues did you face?
the guy is just bait whoring because he needs fake internet attention
if anyone is having issues with act 3 is because their pcs are below the min reqs, simple as that. act 3 eats memory and cpu faster than fat acceptance influencers eat 100 pounds of cake
That's my guess too. First, they said "after act 1, 2 and 3 suck", but now that normies have gotten into act 2, they have switched to "uhh.... actually, act 3 sucks!"
Act III wasn't perfect performance wise but nothing I couldn't fix IMMEDIATELY and without mods and the like.
Story is still great, quests still great, characters still great...
here is your (you)
now you got thrice the attention your dad failed to give you this week.
keep up the faux contrarian bullshit and maybe, maybe a real life girl may pity you enough irl to be a nice human being with you, until you ruin it all by claiming she wanna frick this lardball below your neck
Is this shit worth pirating yet?
By that I mean did they patch any big bugs or whatever?
I don't wanna download something that hasn't been fixed by the buygays yet.
Game isn't actually broken enough for you to worry about it but you aren't in a hurry, you could wait, yes.
But as I said, there's nothing too wrong with the game. If you asked me what I would recommend you wait for, I wouldn't know what to tell you.
Maybe fixes to act 3?
Maybe. 120gb would take me like four days to download so, uhh, yeah.
But thanks
Wait for the first or second "big" patch
I figured there'd be one out already but yeah you're right. Thanks. I heard Act 3 is total shit. I remember in Divinity Original Sin 2 the first act is amazing, the second was good, the third was good, the fourth and fifth were just short and bad
I wonder if they'll flesh them out
Act 3 is great imo, better than Act 2, the problem is bugs not the actual content.
that's good to hear then
cheers mate
I can confirm it. Contentwise, it's great.
Act 3 is shit. Gets real old having The Joker show up to taunt you and "trick" you and your idiot party because apparently your 20 INT MC is too moronic to just stab that moronic crab b***h the second she appears to taunt you for the literal 6th time in a row
What's the right choice, here?
5
Break the pact then save his dad yourself, thwarting Mizora's assassination attempt. It still damns him to die eventually according to the contract, but in the meantime Wyll's dad can still do a lot of good for the city.
That's what I was thinking I could do, but I didn't know if I could for sure.
It's admittedly a bit more difficult to pull off and also save everyone else imprisoned with him, but it's doable.
>saving the other prisoners
i got a bomb
A bomb's a poor choice for close range combat.
I broke the pact then went ahead and saved his Dad anyway and lived happily ever after.
feet
which one leads to more sex with Mizora?
His dad has a tadpole and can be controlled. Better to save Wyll then save someone who might attack you.
You can break the pact and if you are smart, you can save the dad and it's all hunkydory
all hunkydory
Not quite
Mizora outright says she'll forever stack the odds in favor of dad dying because she got btfo.
What she doesn't get is that after their last conversation, they've made peace and she can't touch them anymore. The most she can achieve now is make Wyll angry.
Yea, I know, but it's not like he was going to live forever anyway and as long as he helps Baldur's gate come back to glory, it's a win in my book.
Let her stack the odds.
>More information

Where is the "I don't give a frick Wyll make your own decisions you little b***h" option?
uoooohhh tiefling dicky give her to me ill punish her my with my snake
is it possible to save the druid and recruit the drow chick?
yes, but you have to jump through a lot of hoops and all the tieflings still die
With bugs, yes, but the intent is for you to not be able to.
No matter what you do "everyone must die"
It's such BS that you can't tell the tiefs, that the goblins are on their way and need to get the hell out of Dodge. I would love to lead the goblins into battle killing all the druids while the tiefs sneak out. It is such an obvious middle ground that I can't believe it isn't an option.
>Want top comedian drow wife
>Don't want to ally with g*blins
for FRICKS SAKE larian
Goblins are they coolest race in faerune they kill and party and arent afraid of anything! When they add playable goblins and kobolds in patch 2 you will bow.
Still mad you couldn't choose to party with the drunk kobolds instead of them being automatically hostile.
I thought it was hilarious the only reason they let the kobolds stay there is because one of the githyanki thought they were hot.
>wine bottles
Let's be honest. The only shit companions are Gale and Minsc
If you get better affection with Gale, he becomes great. I've seen clips of people with Gale with low affection, and it's like I'm looking at a different character.
>hey wanna be friends
"SO YOU WANNA FRICK"?
>no
"I HATE YOU FOR LIFE"
ok
Never happened in my playthrough, lol.
ok
gale is fine, wyll is the forgettable one
astarion is top tier overall
Yea, Wyll is forgettable and I don't like him in combat but he's a fine dude and I do like him.
Yea, I didn't mean it only applies to Gale. I think people somehow get stuck in the arrogance Gale playthrough and think that's the only version.
In my playthrough, he's totally a reasonable and helpful guy. He stops bragging and helps out everyone.
I only saw real Shadowheart vs Lazeal racism in my second playthrough. In my first, they only had one real clash, which I dealt with. But I've seen hundreds of clips now where they hate each other and are super racists.
>it's like I'm looking at a different character.
The same applies to (almost?) all companions and it's not just a matter of affection.
Gale has at least several switches you can flip and "world ending arrogance" is one of them.
I have his approval at very good and it's just "world ending arrogance" all the time. Idek why people complain about him being aggressively horny because he doesn't even flirt
I guess it depends on other choices as well. He wasn't flirty with me nor was he super arrogant, besides his intro.
i kill ugly people for being ugly
t. ugly
>tfw watching a streamer play Rogue
>always be curt with Gale
>even told him I wasn't interested in his magic tricks
>night of the part
>chatting everyone up
>get to gale
>IF WE WERE BETTER FRIENDS I WOULD INVITE YOU TO FRICK
Even when you tell him you don't care, when you accuse him of being a magic addict, when you use your brain worms on him, when you complain every time about giving him a magic item, he still wants a piece of you and laments not being greater friends.
My approval with him is pretty high, I have just refused to show any interest in him outside of combat potential.
>talk to withers
>he starts to lecture me for being a virgin
He lectures you if you frick too, he's just kind of a dick
Does he? I must have tuned him out.
I still don't know what answer he wants with "whats the value of a human soul".
I think the answer is that each life is infinitely valuable since it's the only answer that he responds differently to.
He says that answer brings everything into balance or some bullshit.
Typical hamfisted moralizing by the writers with no philosophical depth.
>He says that answer brings everything into balance or some bullshit.
>Typical hamfisted moralizing by the writers with no philosophical depth.
Pretty much what I expected so I didn't stress about it.
He also vaguely agrees to the option that all life is equal, as everyone is equal in death
Or if you say it "depends", he'll just express interest in finding out by what yardstick you measure someone's worth
Remember in Lord of the Rings when Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas were going to enter the Dimholt to request the Dead Men of Dunharrow join them in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, but to calm themselves down first and take a load off, they had sex with a few prostitutes following the Rohirrim across country? I mean, sex is just a totally normal thing we all do all the time, it's not even something you really think about, right? Makes sense even a mythical creature would talk to you about sex. How can you do anything without sex? I know when I play D&D, me and all my friends are like, "Can't wait to roleplay having sex with each other!" Once per long rest sometimes. We have sex. Remember in Final Fantasy, when Yuffie gives Cloud a blowjob on the airship and Tifa's totally cool with it because people have sex, you incel?
the best part was yuffie's beard
I genuinely haven't been even close to having sex, frick off boneman
it's much much funnier when you realize who Withers is
The archdruid who judges her is in cahoots with shadow druids, you reveal this by flying off the coast south of the swamp and examining a tree stump surrounded by imps after passing a perception check.
Do you encounter wyll again if he leaves your party when you raid the druids? I really want to kill him but not enough to undo all my progress since
Nope. Any party member with a tadpole that leaves you immediately dies and turns into a mind flayer.
Sheeeeeit well as long as he's dead I guess...
Can you find them in mind flayer form and kill them?
Astarion left me but he somehow turned up at Cazador's place looking distinctly not-mind flayerish (albeit as a half-zombified husk)
Act 3 was shit was I just wanted it to be over. I laughed my ass off when Mr. ToB showed up again and learned apparently NOTHING from the entire ToB experience and so I one rounded him YET AGAIN in another game.
Real memberberries moment
Emperor is SHIT. They really took a dump on Balduran in this game, which is fine because we didn't really know him except for his legends.
I instantly helped Orpheus.
There's zero reason not to pick Orpheus. Only way to get through the railroaded mindflayer choice without sacrificing yourself or a party member.
Wait, cuck ass Emperor doesn't volunteer himself despite asking for the stones? LOL I'm even more glad I fricked that moron over
She should have been the recruitable bard.
if you play as the dark urge you can actually recruit her, give it a go.
No because she was very cute
>have to let the annoying dyke aasimar and her insufferable cleric gf live if you want to save the tieflings
Literally no point in helping the tieflings out if the game forces you to spare a dyke
The shit thing is that doing the "evil" stuff has demonstrably less content.
It's so cringe too.
>hey you know all those friends you helped throughout the first two acts
>well they all die if you don't spare our mary sue character and you don't get the satisfaction of getting them to the city
I fricking hate Larian. They always do this for their evil runs.
harpers are useless and they die regardless when attacking the moonrise towers
the thieflings that survived die regardless or at best show up as the refugees outside bg at act 3
killing the nightsong/isobel doesn't cut you out of much, and you can still persuade jaheira to join you if isobel is taken
or you can just save both b***hes and murder isobel in your camp to get the slayer form once you delete uncle ketty
It gets better, anon. You can sell the winged beast to a wizard in Act 3 and after that you can either gaslight her gf or send her after her to get killed.
Yea, Nightsong seemed a based person, but she's a rude c**t once she meets her girlfriend again.
I need a mod to take Isobel from her.
isn't a herald angel type character supposed to be a bombastic butthole?
Hm, good point.
you can kill isobel while in your camp after you kill ketheric, the people in the harper camp won't be dead cuz they are all at moonrise tower for the attack or moved into bg3 refugee camp
frick these dykes, frick them, also frick the thieflings, what a bunch of cowards
I really don't understand all the hate towards this character. I love vicious avenging angel characters and she fits it to a T on top of also being a bit manic/psychotic from behind trapped for 100 years in the shadow dimension being repeatedly ritualistically slaughtered for evil god good girl points.
because woman
if she was a man people would be screaming BASADO DEUS VULT left and right
She told me to frick off when I talked to her, because she wants lesbian sex.
I saved HER
and HER girlfriend
AND saved the universe. Be nice to me 🙁
She was so close to being a based character, but the second I realized she was a carpet muncher I decided right then and there that Hitler was right and Belgium should have been wiped from the map.
It's literally just people that want to frick her/Isobel and are mad they're paired up already. Threesome route would have been kino.
I'm just jealous Isobel is one of the hottest character models in the game.
Also, the pair reek of cut content. They just stop mattering after Ketheric, and Isobel's character isn't explored in the slightest.
Not all characters matter. But I get your point.
How are so many people playing this game and why? No actual different acts or endings.
>the ending doesn't even talk about anything I did or didn't do
the ending is SHIT
There are multiple endings.
The scene where all your allies join up before the final battle is supposed to do that.
>where all your allies join up
Do evil players get this scene? It's one of the highlights of the game for me. Can't imagine an ending where all my allies don't show up to help me.
Not there yet, but pretty sure, yes.
You can spend the entire game playing the long con maybe even as Astarion and then pull the bait and switch at the last moment by dominating the brain and conquering the Sword Coast.
bro they are fricking buttons that summon morons that I didn't even use because it makes the battles take 10000 minutes instead of 100, and the game is a casual joke even on Tactician. I made the mistake of testing them out on that first endgame battle
You get zero resolution on ANYTHING, like the game doesn't talk about the Shadowfell, or what happens to the people who you helped through the game, and with companions it just went
>Astarion burned in sunlight and ran away like a Scooby Doo villain while everyone laughed THE END for him
>Karlach had a cheesy as frick death scene
>soon as it was over "Everyone want to go get a burger?"
THE END
it's awful, just terrible
pic related: Your reward for helping people out - zero story resolution and the ability to make the NPC turns in combat take 34 minutes
It's a pretty common complaint that the game just ends with no epilogue.
You'll just have to wait for Baldur's Gate 3: Enhanced Edition!
oh even better, I used Jahiera and had full relationship bar with her and it didn't mention anything about her at all, as if she didn't exist. Same for Wyll, Beargay, Mizora, and Gale, though I guess for Gale it at least bothered to have one line that was like "hurr durrr guess I better go get the crown for Mystra haha I love wieners"
This isn't fallout. If you fixed the shadowlands, its fixed.
You see Lazeal take off, you see Karlach die or head off with Wyll to kill devils.
>cheese as frick
Actually, it was a touching moment. Not everyone get a good ending.
>This isn't fallout
play more video games you fricking underaged moron. Nearly all CRPGs, including fricking Icewind Dale where you make faceless mook parties, has some text wrapping shit up and closing the page on various stuff you did throughout the game
frick off moron
>nearly all CRPGS
Nope.
Yes, moron
Anon, part of the crisis response to Mass Effect 3 was to give epilogue cards to the ending.
It's a very expected thing in an RPG saga.
Huh, didn't know that. Once I beat it, I totally ignored the additions.
>If you fixed the shadowlands, its fixed.
Nah not really since I fixed it, had Halsin in my group, and Act 3 was so broken the game acted like Wyll's dad died (he didn't) and the Shadowlands were fricked (it wasn't)
good try though, not that ending mentions it either way
Did you rescue his dad?
yes
but the game doesn't care and treats him like he's dead.... again, not that it matters because the ending has no slides and no resolution of anything so it doesn't matter
Weird. I had no issue. I guess you found a bug then.
I'm not saying that the game couldn't have done a better job of closing certain threads but I think it was acceptable in regards to the companions. I know where they are all going.
I don't think Shadowfall or wahtever needs additional comment since they LEGIT tell you when you leave.
You're right it's Baldur's Gate. You should play the first two games.
I did and I wouldn't recommend anyone play BG1. It's not actually good.
I'd take neverwinter nights over it anyday. I feels likes NN is the forgotten child. Icewind Dale is slowly getting more love which makes me happy.
And all of those games you mentioned have post game epilogues. Neverwinter Nights 2 leading into Mask of the Betrayer is still my favorite CRPG, even after playing BG3, and even that one gave me an epilogue where I married my bald wife.
it's actually easier to name the games that DON'T have some kind of text or scenes showing the outcome of choices you made than it is to list the 10000 that do.
He hasn't played many, if any, CRPGs.
>Not everyone get a good ending.
as it should be
not everyone gets a good ending in bg1 and 2 either
Cernd is fricking forced to kill his own son and dies while doing it.
Edwin gets forcefully transitioned by Elminster
Keldorn dies in battle
Viconia either goes batshit medieval in the underdark, or have a kid with the Bhaalspawn and goes medieval in the underdark
Zoomers nowadays really are fat in marvel storytelling aren't they? they can't understand pathos anymore
cool and how did you know what happened to the party? Was it..... with ending slides that told you?
!!!
Will powerpoint slides satisfy you? or will you complain that it's too low effort when they are added in?
nice goalpost moving, moron
you're still a gay regardless anon
everything is the same
Honestly, so many games do the powerpoint slideshow endings and most are garbage. Many are utterly ambiguous.
better than the literal nothing this game is. Mass Effect 3's ending was better .
You went too contrarian.
hey man, let's not start talking crazy here
Hey, I'm happy they went with this route. I had worried it would be a saccharine ending.
Except the writers purposefully character assassinated Viconia in BG3 and threw away whatever choices you made with her in BG 2. You are such a contrarian homosexual. Most zoomers nowadays want the exact opposite of saccharine nowadays. Harry Potter if written by vidya devs:
>Harry realizes he's a horcrux of Voldemort, transforms into Voldemort, slaughters everyone and then dives off the bridge, killing himself. ~Fin
I bet you think the original ending to BG3 would have been vastly superior too, Hideaki Anno dick riding homosexual
KEK yeah they fricked her good. Mr ToB was a close second
I can understand Jaheira looking older since she's only a half-elf, but there's no way a full-blooded drow would hit the wall this hard this quickly. Hopefully mods will fix it.
she looks like some soccer mom wearing blackface
If you made the right choices for Viconia she dies in the epilogue. BG3 is the world where she doesn't die, hence never made those choices.
That's still the writers canonizing certain choices. Frick you.
Then what the frick are they supposed to do?
Do what they did with Aerie
LEAVE THEM THE FRICK OUT OF THE GAME
we already have one useless Druid in the party anyway
Pottergays opinions need not be said for they are worth less than the shit beneath my heel.
>Harry realizes he's a horcrux of Voldemort, transforms into Voldemort, slaughters everyone and then dives off the bridge, killing himself
Okay Alan Moore
Holy shit, is that real? Only Alan Moore content I've ever partaken of are From Hell, Watchmen (Film) V For Vendetta (again film), but none of the comics. I seriously did not know of this. Good to know genius shares minds.
Yeah in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Harry Potter is the Antichrist.
https://lxg.fandom.com/wiki/Antichrist
Don't forget he was killed by God aka Mary Poppins
>In 2009, Mina Murray and Orlando, on instruction from Prospero, followed Potter’s trail of destruction at the ruins of Hogwarts and tracked his whereabouts at his home in London, and engaged him in combat. Allan Quatermain joined the battle, but was instantly killed by a lightning bolt from Harry's penis.
This just sounds moronic.
>Allan Quatermain joined the battle, but was instantly killed by a lightning bolt from Harry's penis.
I think I prefer the film
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen should've ended long before 2012.
This is the same guy who wrote a soft core porn graphic novel starring Alice from Alice In Wonderland, Dorothy from The Wizard Of Oz, and Wendy from Peter Pan.
oh man he was definitely taking frequent fap breaks while writing this
>Mr. Redman
Fate bros?
not even close to the most moronic thing inspired by alice in wonderland
Hm, that sounds based actually.
overrated. Even the fans admit some of the arcs are long and boring. Kinda cool characters too but not sure it's worth it.
>Hm, that sounds based actually.
I hope you like 14 year old gay sex and rape
Gay as in male male, or female female?
No, but I did
>tiefligns have been kidnapped
>I better get ready to confront ketheric!
>i'll make him non-immortal
>*Failed to say the tiefligns*
am i supposed to sneak in before and save them and then come back to attack the tower?
gay as in gay
there's no inbetween
gay is gay
I accept lesbian love because I know my dick can fix them.
>Gay as in male male, or female female?
>am i supposed to sneak in before and save them and then come back to attack the tower?
Yes. You're basically going in and doing preliminary recon before doing a full scale assault.
Argh... I mean, once I had invaded the tower, I realized how I could have done it but I thought that when I attack the tower, I should take time to go to the prison, not that i should do it before saving Nightsong.
What if Kentheric was visiting the prison? How would I fight an immortal?
>Shove him off into a chasm
>How would I fight an immortal?
Choke him out Hercules style. Immortals still need to get oxygen to their brains, yeah?
he'd be unconscious at least, I guess I can then sneak out.
Maybe I can intimidate him with the thumb trick.
The simplest way you can beat an immortal is just put him into a cage and then drop it onto the bottom of the sea. Or entomb one in clay/concrete/lava. There's an abundance of lava in the Grymforge.
>Dropped in a cage to the bottom of the ocean
>Waits until cage rusts
Checkmate, mortals. Now he's coming for your ass, and he's not going to make it slow
I'll probably be dead by the time the cage rusts away to the point he can break out of it, checkmage. But yes, it's best to choose methods that won't just fail with the passage of time, which is why magical imprisonments of ancient evils is so fricking common in all sorts of fantasy stories.
But I would need prep time and at this time, I'm probably escorting tieflings to safety. I'm planning to just sneak in and out, not actually confront him.
The game has a lot of holes in it that take you out of the experience. It would have been a much better game if you could secretly disable his immortality and have the goblins she's showing off in front of kill him. That would be fricking hilarious and entirely in character for a trickster/rogue/killer by circumstance type of character, who then could capitalize on the ensuing chaos among the absolutist power structure.
Yeah that'd work. Another thing about rescuing Tieflings is you also end up meeting Wulbren, who's related to a corpse you see in the blighted village back in act 1. As far as I can tell there's no way to tell him about the corpse there though which brings up the question of why the amulet you get from said corpse is orange quality.
My own intervention and down the rabbit hole 2 are the peak of their medium. going from murder mystery with a detective that cannot comprehend the unexplainable happenstances of the murders to the schizoid that lucked out on how all of them happened to start a sex murder cult was amazing.
It's a wild ride to be sure.
Maybe I'll replay it but I remember basically skimming some parts for hours on end.
I remember when this worked Linkara into a seething shoot
As does anything even mildly sexual.
What have you wrought, every video game writer secretly browsing Ganker is now taking notes for future releases
This.
Got super moronic later on, doesn't help than Alan hates all his old work (he considers the best batman story to be the old gay robin joke live action shit) and actively tries to shit on anything he can now
Basically. He's a top 3 comic writer of all time but he has fully lost his marbles to seethe and bitterness in the last 20 or so years.
No, but seriously, that was my entire point. Zoomers these days crave those kinds of edgy endings. I, myself, am getting sick of them.
>Wizard school.
>Literally nobody even puts up a fight while another wizard, using the wizard shit you know, is flinging wizard shit at you.
This is Extraordinary gentlemen, isn't it? Moore you commie homosexual.
>purposefully character assassinated Viconia in BG3
GOOD
this is not being a contrarian you ignorant marvel gulper
All DnD games(most of) always had a proper understanding of tragedy and story telling
You, the nu contrarian, may dislike it while calling others by what you are, but this is good.
What the frick did you expect? a happy ending? for Viconia? even her bg2 ending isn't happy by any definition
I bet you're the sort of moron that watched Breaking Bad and malded because not everyone got a happy ending while shaking your hands up to a proverbial cloud blaming GoT or The Last Jedi for some "subversion" or some other bullshit that only bottom of the barrel youtubers still cling unto in an attempt to keep relevant.
have a nice day and rid the world of yet another receding hairline S o y slop consumer
"saccharine"
what sort of plebbit lingo is this you fricking Black person?
Are you trying to sound pretentious? do you have a fringe youtube channel with 2 hrs essays about how dumb blockbuster movies don't follow the guidelines of Shakespearean theatrical drama?
Do you also read the name of your patreons from a sheet of paper to showcase some pseudo intimacy as if portraying the humble working class dude just after posting the most pretentious and pompous buffoonery of an attempt at criticism?
Fricking have a nice day by the balls you fricking zoomer contrarian c**t
>cries about zoomers
>unironically used the word "malding"
back to Twitch you homosexual underaged tourist FRICK
>All DnD games(most of) always had a proper understanding of tragedy and story telling
lmao
lol
>t. enjoyed End of Evangelion and thought Mass Effect 3's ending was pure genius. Unironically thinks Super Mario Bros should have ended with Peach getting impregnated by Bowser in violent rape with Mario getting thrown into the fire pit, with Peach eventually hanging herself under a toadstool
You're somewhat right but whining about "saccharine" but using "malding" is pretty moronic.
He's not even close to somewhat right, you moron. Downer endings are the rule nowdays, not the exception. That extends beyond video games, too. They killed off John Wick for christ's sake
He's coming back.
Nah, most media try to give happy endings, especially when it comes to games with romancable NPCS.
>t. only watches films with the Disney logo preceding it
I'd probably think that too if I had the cinematic taste of a dried-out amoeba
I haven't seen a Disney film in years.
>Downer endings are the rule nowdays
every zoomer complains about any sort of brooding at movies
they complained about it in BvS, they even complain about it in MI, shit I've seen people say that Jack Reacher is bad because its, I quote, corny Disney tier dialogue. What the actual frick?
It's the older millenials that want dark stories, go to youtube and read the comment section of any video criticizing Marvel, then check the meta data for the age range of these types of channels.
Zoomers are too illiterate to even understand shit, they literally can't think and differentiate things unless a company tells them what it is that they're seeing.
Now, complaining about John Wick, dude, the whole franchise started under the premise that his wife died and they fricked his dog, and you expected it to ever have a happy ending?
Bro, imma warn you now, never watch a Paul Verhoeven movie, those gdamn zoomies made those.
On a scale of 1-10, how hard did you orgasm whenever someone turned into orange soda in EoE?
Most movies millenials watched involved a badass-mc-badass killing all the baddies and walking off into the sunset, with or without the girl. Every single fricking action flick from 80's to 2000, with only a few notable exceptions like Scarface, but it wasn't an action flick either. The "sad ending" homosexualry is a very recent thing, the obsession with constant subversions that become parodies of themselves. No, someone can't just get what they want in life, there always needs to be some hidden fricking cost, his kid is dying of cancer his wife cucks him and his dog gets run over by a car. Epic storytelling: anonymous homosexual circa 2023. Frick off, you're full of shit.
absolutely rekt
you're talking to a zoomer, bro. They do this weird shit on Ganker where they lie to your face about shit you yourself lived through and then they double down on it. We had Indy, Snake Plisskin (where the joke is everyone thinks he's always dead), McClaine, Jack Burton, etc etc etc.
And he'll try to tell us we are the ones who didn't like the happy save everyone ending.
>mad about a word that has been around for 400 years
>bitches about zoomers while rambling about the israeli bean, using underage parlance words like slop and mald and loses his mind over someone else's hairline, all common zoomer activities
>What the frick did you expect? a happy ending? for Viconia?
because her fate is decided by how the player treats her, like Aerie, you just DON'T PUT HER IN THE GAME you "malding" zoomer moron
can I get a "kekw" in the chat, no cap frfr? Broccoli headed homosexual who wasn't even alive when BG 2 came out, go frick yourself.
>because her fate is decided by how the player treats her,
THE CANON BHAALSPAWN IS CALLED ABDEL ADRIAN
YOUR CHOICES IN YOUR PLAYTHRU MEAN FRICKING NOTHING CANON WISE
and it wasn't Larian who made Abdel, now go write an angry letter to Hasbro, auntie.
who's "malding" now you moronic homosexual zoomer? Lay off the caps, little guy. Your shitty nuD&D Baldur's Gate book doesn't matter and nobody cares.
>n-n-n-n-n-noooo it never happened
*whispers in your gay ass ear*
4th edition is also canon
the craziest thing to me was learning that DnD has in lore reasons for the different editions and their mechanics.
Sounds like D&D should stop releasing role playing games, if that's how they're going to play it.
NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND SEE THIS SHITTY BOOK THAT SOLD LIKE SHIT IS THE CANON AND WHAT HAPPENED AT YOUR TABLE DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE I LOVE wiener AND MALDING AND WATCH ASMONGOLD
Larian went all out to refer to him as little as possible because no one wants to be reminded their donut steel wasn't canon, so effectively that's irrelevant
kekw is from sc1 community you fricking contrarian zoomer, this slang is older than the non existant hair in your balls.
what has Ganker become? newbies acting like they're old enough to have an opinion? back to the kitchen
>kekw is from sc1 community
everyone knows where you picked it up from. Everyone knows why you say it. Stop pretending, it's tiresome. Go back and donate to your "brotherman" you fricking subhuman shit.
You do know about troony websites don't you anon? don't you?
frick off Twitch moron
nobody cares.
Absolutely pathetic. Choke on your worthless buzzwords and die.
>I'm not playing this game! Why are people playing it? Why aren't they like me and NOT playing it?
Saving Mol by getting her contract was the worst, that ungrateful little shit. I wish Raph didn't have such sweet loot so I could leave him alive and damn her forever/
Mol is such an ungrateful little c**t
the only attractive image i've ever seen from this game
the final boss is kicking my noob ass and i don't know what to frickin' do to beat her.
my team is mindflayer orpheus (cause i betrayed the emperor), paladin, cleric of life shadowheart (+2 lvls in bard), the barbarian astarion and wyll.
can i salvage this?
just hit it with your swords. I killed it in one round on Tactician
i haven't even gotten to the actual netherbrain yet, i'm still stuck at the part where you cast the spell on the crown
Black person McTentacles should be able to fly over there in 1, maybe 2 turns tops.
he gets grabbed by the hentai tentacles along the way and i have to get my slowass teammates to get him out of there while the arcanist mindflayers shred my HP with magic missles
use hold monster and a melee character on the dragon, make everyone else run up the ramps to the mindflayer arcanists because magic missile hits so hard, when your party members run up the ramps or fly or teleport, use their action to summon an ally or aoe ally effect if they aren't close enough to damage the arcanists themselves. when the portal opens put all your party members through on the same turn to do maximum damage in fewest turns. thats how i did it on tactician
i don't have hold monster. do i just stun the fricker then?
i guess you can just tie him up with a melee character, probably won't move out of range if you do. hold monster was more important for the crits
also how do i deal with the emperor?
I solved literally every problem in this game with a monk and a fighter and a sorlock who twin hasted them
Shadowheart casted bless sometimes, sometimes used a heal, sometimes maybe cast Sanctuary but mostly just used the AoE black hole move or flame strike and then skipped her turn
damn why can't we frick jaheira?
i used gale and my pc, also a wizard, to blast him to shreds while orpheus flew to the crown for the concentration karsus spell. he took 2 turns so i also had him use two black holes, because with mind sanctuary he can cast with an action and bonus action and remember the tentacles and other enemies can just be dealt with by ally summons while your party heads through the portal
literally meaningless because DivOS 1 and 2 were a bit hard on Tactician. Pathfinder was brutal on Unfair.
BG 3 Tactician was made for games journalists and I guess that was inevitable with how bare bones 5e is as a system. It could not be any harder because there is nothing to really min-max.
>Z'rell says she was looking forward to making me another notch on her bedpost before I betrayed her
can you actually frick her if you go the evil route?
Pretty sure it's just wienerteasing on the part of Larian. As I was curious about this as well, and did another playthrough, and was way more upfront about my interest in her when we first meet. She basically responds
>Ha, that's cute, but the tadpole in my brain and the Absolute are all I need
Essentially, you're wienerblocked by the Absolute and her brain orgasms
Why couldn't we romance her or Mol?
What is it with Ganker's obsession with either fricking children or murdering them? Why can't you just have normal wants like raising children peacefully and comfily?
>got to the Ketheric fight without finding Wyll's dad
did I frick up? Should I reload?
You didn't frick up.
Nope
good, thanks
Man I can't wait for the seethe when Mass Effect 4 comes out and is forced to canonize certain things
False equivalence because everyone knows they're going to canonize high EMS destroy, and the only ones who are going to be upset over that are 3 people in bumfrickistan nowhere.
you guys haven't made enough fun of that dickhead for using the world malding unironically. This place is really slipping.
