baldurs_gate_3

After ~450 hours in the game, I realized something that I’d been wanting was in the game the whole time, just not explicitly: a way to put your items into “folders”....

Recently, I started my second campaign in Baldurs Gate in addition to the campaign I play with my wife in co-op. My wife and I opted for the easiest difficulty in our playthrough since neither if us ever played similar game....

I’m 100+ hours into an honor run and I’ve finally made a decision I apparently can’t live with. I was offered a gift at the end of act 2, and while it was totally out of character for me to accept it, my curiosity got the better of me. I never made it this far before and I wanted to see what would happen. Now I hardly even...

Spoilers for the end of act 3 below....

I just finished saving Duke Ravenguard and the first thing he did was complain about his son. Dude is kind of an ass. Is it too late to put him back in the prison? I kinda wish I hadn’t saved him.

It’s the Knife of the Undermountain King, if that is relevant. I’m not a druid, so I don’t think it has anything to do with wild shape. I have had Jahiera in my party a few times. I did get disarmed once about 20 hours ago, so it might be related to that. Anyways, I cannot unequip, disarm, throw, or drop that knife. I’ve...

For my first run, I focused largely on engaging the roleplay elements and didn’t worry too much about optimization....

His initial impressions so far:...

Let’s add a friendly image so that people don’t see any spoilers by accident....

I’m bored and lonely and could use the distraction

So I’ve got some assassins that will just randomly attack me because of spoilers. Well, this time, some people came and tried to help kill the assassins, and one of them was a dog. This assassin I was fighting decided to run away from me and past another party member, taking 2 opportunity attacks in the process so they could...

Or even dye them. Inventory management is so bad. I try to use unique containers for various things but it’s getting harder and harder to find stuff when I need it.

Update: I reinstalled the game and when that didn’t work I went poking around in the Xbox settings themselves....

I have growing doubts of the statistical randomness of attacks in honor mode with karmic dice disabled. I’m talking about multi-attack with action surge completely whiffing when the chance to hit is 75% or greater and rogues with advantage that couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn. (1/4)^2 is 6.25% so across hundreds of...

Scratch is the bestest of the best boys. I think he got even better with the new patch. Maybe too good. I threw the vial of smokepowder to blast through a wall. And the good boy thinks I want to play fetch. So while everyone runs away from the wall and I’m getting ready to IGNIS the good boy fetches the smokepowder and brings...

We just got ambushed in a courtyard by about 15 enemies standing on a walkway above us, with no immediately obvious way for us to get up there. We were sitting ducks. So Shadowheart cast blade barrier across the entire walkway. In addition to doing a lot of damage every turn, it imposes difficult terrain. All of the enemies...

Yeah sorry not your typical post here, I hope that’s OK!...

I’m on my 4th campaign (2nd honour mode) and I still have yet to actually use the flask! I’m just starting Act 3 in this playthrough, but I’d love to hear your ideas and suggestions for the flask

Basically title. I decided to start a new honor mode run after the update the other day (haven’t played in a few months) and getting a bug in which character’s face animations don’t work during dialog. Lips don’t move, expressions don’t change. A little googling didn’t turn up any similar reported bugs except for a...

I am running the popular tempest cleric build with a bit of wizard thrown in. I summoned an air elemental, which prompted the game to ask if I wanted to trigger destructive wrath. I haven’t tested this, but I’m curious what the effect would be, if any....

legendary actionI started a new game on the honor mode....

The Shar-worshipping crazy goth chick is a great character concept. Trouble is, the game seems to throw a lot of great light-related cleric spells and equipment at us, and all the alternatives seem to be bad. From an RP point of view, Shadowheart obviously shouldn’t be wielding a light-emitting mace, wearing radiance armor,...

Spoiler___ Does sleeping with Minthara, then breaking her neck, lock you out of other romances? Is it possible to break her neck, then trigger Astarion’s romance scene later in Act I? Can you romance Astarion/Shadowheart/Lae’zel in Act II after sleeping with Minthara?

I scoured all the Act 1 areas (probably still missed stuff) but finally decided to jump into Act 2. I’m struggling to feel “connected” to it, to be honest. I went down the ladder into the Underdark and just sailed my way across to some ancient Shar-worshipper place and I feel… lost?...

With the new Patch yesterday, we got new content in the form of a post-game party, thrown by Withers! I’ve seen people talk about a potential plot hook with Karlach for a DLC down the road, but what other potential plot hooks have you seen?
