Is it cursed maybe?

No it’s a magic sword. But is it also cursed? ;)

Anticorp,

My character is not cursed. Is there a way that the weapon would have somehow become cursed separate from my character?

troyunrau,
@troyunrau@lemmy.ca avatar

Dunno. Trying casting remove curse on the character and see what happens. That’s how it works on the handful of other cursed weapons and armor I’ve seen in game. The game is so complex that I’d never say with confidence that there isn’t some way to end up with a curse in some questline I didn’t pursue. :)

MrNesser, in Cant unequip mainhand weapon.

Can you use command to force you to drop it

Anticorp,

I haven’t tried that, but I know disarm does not work. I’ll give that a try tonight. Thanks for the idea!

SnotFlickerman,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Using another character to cast Heat Metal on your character to make them drop their weapon?

Or one step further and just fucking killing them, taking their shit, and then using a scroll of revivify?

Anticorp,

I might try killing him tonight to see if that works. I found the gloves of hill giant strength, so I want to switch to strength based weapons, but I’m stuck with these finesse weapons.

CaptPretentious,

Finesse weapons use str or dex, whichever is higher.

Anticorp,

Oh? I didn’t know that! Okay, thank you!

JackbyDev, in Maybe if there's DLC

Make the inventory less clunky.

captain_oni,

I have 2 requests to improve inventory management:

  1. Let us rename pouches/backpacks so we know what we stored there.
  2. Let items you pickup stack with items inside your backpacks/pouches. They already do this with alchemy items and food, so the code is partially there.
Anticorp,

Also allow scrolls in a backpack to be accessible in the context menu.

Honytawk,

And allow those bags to be opened when it is not your turn.

Evotech,

Or Automatically tag bags based on content.

Rai,

I can’t imagine playing on a controller.

zipzoopaboop, in Maybe if there's DLC

I have one single mod: disable the music in elfsong tavern

Pronell, in Cant unequip mainhand weapon.

I’d suggest feeding it to Gale but I’m pretty sure that weapon is found well after that isn’t an option any longer.

Anticorp,

Yeah, he stopped asking for enchanted items really early in act 1, and I’m in act 3 now. Thanks for the idea though.

Anticorp, in Maybe if there's DLC

Don’t tie all the best items to characters that you might kill or not save in a durge playthrough.

SnotFlickerman,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Durge needs not special items. Durge needs only murder.

Gale’s bloody hand is worth more than any bonus Gale can give.

Anticorp, (edited )

I haven’t actually played durge yet, but I’m planning to this next playthrough. I’m almost finished with my 2nd playthrough, which was supposed to be an evil playthrough, but at each choice, knowing how much I would be missing out on led me to helping and saving people, instead of telling them to fuck off and then hitting them in the face with my sword. Except for Balthazar. I wasted no time talking to that ugly bitch. I just attacked him.

SnotFlickerman,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I mean arguably its the best and easiest place to take him out. There’s not really a reason to keep him alive unless you really are in an Evil campaign.

Anticorp,

Even if I was evil, I’d never team up with someone like him, unless he could provide me with something that I couldn’t obtain without him. He’s incredibly selfish, arrogant, and condescending. I can’t see any evil -or even any good- character I play tolerating his banter, and demands. The only reason I didn’t kill him outright in the first playthrough was because he killed me when I tried. LOL. I just wasn’t powerful enough the first time through.

SnotFlickerman, (edited )
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

If you think Gale as a character is terrible, you should see his voice actors role in Toast of London, as “Danny Bear.”

Tim Downie is just a little too good at playing arrogant jerks.

youtu.be/rQKEGX-9c4w

Anticorp,

What? I don’t think he’s terrible. Are you confusing what I said about Balthazar, thinking I’m talking about Gale?

SnotFlickerman, (edited )
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I confused the two, because Gale gets on my nerves and your descriptors fit how I feel about Gale lmao.

It’s because elsewhere I commented about cutting off Gale’s hand as durge and thought you were responding to that one, got myself confused.

Anticorp,

Funny. I did the same thing yesterday, I wrote out a very long response to the completely wrong person, on a completely different post, because I was having two similar conversations.

I think Gale is pretty cool. He chills out on the Goodie-Two-Shoes act in act 3 when some opportunities present themselves. Idk if he only goes that direction if you push him in that direction, but push I did! He’s smart, and capable, and pliable too.

teft,
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

I used his hand to impress the murder tribune in my Durge playthrough.

teft,
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

That’s the whole point of going evil though. You’re taking a harder path. Being a murder hobo doesn’t end up going well for anyone.

Anticorp,

Evil isn’t about being a murder hobo, that’s more of a homicidal maniac than an evil character (although it’s still evil). A lot of times it’s about being completely selfish, and self absorbed, but also manipulative to get what you want. Some of the most successful people on the planet are evil, hell, possibly all of them. It feels like there should be other rewards for an evil path.

teft,
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know how far you’ve gotten in the story but there are story specific rewards for evil acts in a durge playthrough. Whether they make up for the loss of the tieflings and the gear they hold is debatable but there are evil rewards.

Anticorp,

That’s good to hear! I haven’t played durge yet, I just read a lot of feedback that it’s lacking quests and gear. I’m planning on playing as durge on my next playthrough. Are there special dialogue options if I choose the white dragonborn character instead of making a custom one?

teft, (edited )
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

One thing I remembered that is similar to your question about using the white dragonborn for dialogue. If you leave the dark urge’s name as The Dark Urge there are a few lines where the narrator will say “You say your name, The Dark Urge, out loud” instead of “You say your name out loud” if you have a custom name. The first instance is when you awake on the beach after the intro scene. There might be more but I can’t remember off the top of my head.

teft,
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

Not sure on that one. I can’t stand playing a character without darkvision. Preferably improved. I personally like drow since you get a fuck load of dialog choice good and bad so you get to decide what type of drow you want to be. For Dark Urge you usually get two different choices also. Either give in to the urge or push it away. Both are stellar story experiences.

Anticorp,

Thanks! I’m playing as Drow right now, and you can basically just waltz into all the bad guy headquarters up until the Shadowlands. It’s pretty cool.

seejur, (edited )

I gave up my honor run because of that fucking butler. Went to sleep and woke up with Shart dead. It broke my heart

sheogorath,

Shart and Gale were dead in my run. It broke my heart but I found solace in Papa Bear Halsin.

You can on PC with a mod.

Filthmontane,

Or just bump it to six

Maalus,

SpicySquid, in Cant unequip mainhand weapon.

I think I resolved something like this by respeccing the character. Talk to withers and change the class. Not very sure about this, but I do recall how annoying it was. Good luck!

Anticorp,

Dang, I did reclass and it didn’t fix it. Although I went from bard/paladin to paladin/bard. Do I need to pick a completely different class? That would be annoying, since my bard has like 50 spells and actions on the context menu that I just got all set up again.

TransplantedSconie,

Fuck yes. I loved that multiclass so much. I sang and banged across the entire Sword Coast.

Anticorp, (edited )

I’m pretty sure it’s the strongest build in the game. Monk/rogue probably has better damage output and definitely has greater movement, but none of the utility. There’s nothing that any companion can do, that my bard can’t do as well, or better. AOE damage was one area he was lacking, but I picked up a couple of different spells when I reclassed and he has that covered now too. I was thinking about doing a playthrough using this build without any companions as durge.

Edit: one thing he is missing is spell sculpting for avoiding friendly fire with AOE spells. The wizard is still best in that area.

Wait until OP discovers there’s a whole RPG dating sim after the character creator.

jack, in Maybe if there's DLC

The most important way BG3 can improve is by fixing the right-click to examine bug.

If you try to examine anything during initiative while another player is selecting a reaction, it breaks examining until the next load screen. Happens nearly every initiative in my four player campaign.

O sing a song of Balduran, who founded Baldur’s Gaaaaaate.

Empire golden built on trade, could not avert his faaaaaaate.

I always belt that shit out with the singer in the tavern when I long rest. Shit gets stuck in my head so bad.

Keegen, in If you respec Shadowheart as a Paladin you get a few extra dialogue options specific to [Paladin of Shar]

This happens whenever you multi-class into paladin/cleric as any other character, didn’t know you don’t need to do so specifically for Shadowheart. The fact that the god specific paladin dialogue exists really makes me wish we got an optional god selection for paladins during character creation, having to sacrifice a feat or a bunch of class features just to get some RP dialogue kinda sucks.

teft, (edited )
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

That’s awesome! In my run she’s a pure paladin but I guess now I’m going to have to roll a Paladin of Lolth so me and Minth can be twinsies.

The really neat thing is there is even a tag on her statistics page that says Paladin of Shar.

teft,
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

I just checked with a new character and you’re totally right. I wonder what happens if you go meet the paladins of Tyr as a real Paladin of Tyr… Man, just when I thought I was done with this game it drags me back in.

ahornsirup,
@ahornsirup@sopuli.xyz avatar

There’s a couple of mods to that end, though I can’t vouch for them. I’ve been meaning to try them out but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

And here’s one for paladins specifically. Again, I have not tested any of these myself.

wildginger, in Maybe if there's DLC

Likely no dlc, hasbro laid off their side of the team who built the game so making more dnd content would probably be too much of a hassle and struggle for larian

TodaviaTyler,

The game is too good to not deserve additional content! My fingers will be forever crossed!
