Bearigator, in Potential DLC Hooks in Wither's party

What prompted me to make this thread was Lae’zel talking about having gained a foothold in the Astral Plane and fighting against Vlaakith. Could be a lot of fun to play and see the story with the Menyar-Ag-Gith she mentioned.

Keegen, (edited ) in Potential DLC Hooks in Wither's party

In my epilogue I had Lae’zel and her mission to talk to with the big important Githzerai guy whose name I cannot remember or pronounce, Gale inviting you to his magic school to talk with his students, Karlach and Wyll going to fix her engine and me trying my best to resist the urge to devour the brains of my fellow companions as a mind flayer (that one was a big surprise when it happened!). With how many possible permutations to the ending there are, I think the most realistic one for a DLC is the straightforward Karlach + Wyll (and possibly you) going to fix her engine, at least that one only has like 4 possible outcomes from what I recall (who goes with Karlach, and if Tav is a mind flayer or not).

Bearigator,

Yeah, some sort of Karlach+Wyll DLC for seems the most obvious to me from what I’ve read.

Going to Gale’s magic school could be fun too, either as its own DLC or as a little side thing in another one. I’m sure a school full of Wizards could cause some problems that my character could be called in to help solve.

I posted this while still going through the party and just found another one. Wither straight up goes

Though art the Saviour of Baldur’s Gate…until such time it requires saving again.

And later goes (I will summerize slightly)

I have waited long to tell you these words. It is over…for now.

Sleep, rest, revel. But be ready, For though mayest yet be needed.

They weren’t exactly subtle I suppose haha

The new mode adds permadeath and it updates your save file whenever you exit the game so no more save scumming.

Hairyblue,
@Hairyblue@kbin.social avatar

LOL so you can't save at all unless you quit the game and reload? I don't see me getting the gold dice.

teft,
@teft@startrek.website avatar

You can save at any time. But if you exit the game it will save again so you can’t save scum.

Slotos,

kill -9 smirks in the corner

@entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Sure, you can do that if you’re a dirty coward who doesn’t deserve a golden d20

Shayeta,
deegeese,

How hard is it to backup the save and restore after quitting?

teft,
@teft@startrek.website avatar

Probably not super difficult but doesn’t that defeat the purpose of Honor mode?

deegeese,

Isn’t that what we’re discussing? How to save scum “honor”.

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Looking at what is presented to me by the mod manager you don’t even have to save scum it, you can probably just activate it through the mod manager.

@teft@startrek.website avatar

If you’re that opposed to earning something and feeling like you earned it you can just exit the game through a hard close (alt-f4 or going to home screen and force closing the app on console) as that doesn’t save to the save file. But then you’ll feel like a dirty rotten cheater every time you look at your shiny dice. So you do you.

It always makes me chuckle when I switch to him and he goes “Don’t touch me”.

He’s my spirit animal.

peopleproblems, in Baldur's Gate 3 colossal new patch adds a playable epilogue set six months after the game ends with 3,589 new lines of dialogue, 2 new difficulty modes, and I'm running out of headline space

I’ve sunk like 150 hours into the game, and my main character is in act 3, but act 3 is so fucking enormous I have no idea what I’m doing more than the first two acts lol.

Wish I could go back to those other places and see whats up with how the world changes

Anticorp,

I think I was at about 160 hours when I finished the game, and I did everything I could find in Act 3, so you might be close to the end. I possibly skipped some content in Act 2 though, and I didn’t do the mountain creche.

papalonian,

My recommendation with act 3 is to split it up between multiple playthroughs. If you’re like me and care a little about the roleplaying aspect, just do the things your PC or party members would feel important. I’d spent a long time and made some decisions I personally wouldn’t have made if not for keeping with my characters’ story; it didn’t make sense to me to go hunting down every nook and cranny of a huge city while it’s on the brink of destruction. There’s just too much to do!

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

With all the added endings soon the end will be longer than the game. But I’m not complaining.

Rodneyck, in The judgment is intense

LOL, Astarion disapproves of everything I do. My Tav could sneeze and he would give me a side-eye.

@teft@startrek.website avatar

I’m at the goblin camp in my playthrough but I had to go run an errand. I’ll update here once I down Min, Ragz, and Gut. Glad I didn’t go to the cave first which is my usual go-to.

Edit: Nothing different that I noticed with the three goblin bosses. They all went down pretty quick. Minthara did down two of my guys though which had me sweating.

tulth,

cool! based on the patch notes it looks like the big spider in act1 has a new web attack.

The harpies were throwing stones at me sometimes. I do not think they threw rocks on tactician.

i’m scared that they altered the fake-paladin or the big gnoll fight. I guess I will see when i get there.

teft,
@teft@startrek.website avatar

I’m leaving those two for the morning because I have the same fear. Flind has wrecked me numerous times before. Same with that damn fake-adin.

@DacoTaco@lemmy.world avatar

Been playing the game since its release and im happy to see this improvement. Just checked out the epilogue and it has multiple endings as well haha.
On top of that, it opens a few doors to future content on top of the existing ending cutscenes which looks awesome.
Cant wait for a sequel or the next chapter of the baldurs gate 3 story

Astarion doesn’t get a place in my party. Can’t stand him

Its okay to be wrong <3

kaffiene,

I’ll keep that in mind if it ever happens :o)

Can we play this from our completed game, or do we need to load a save from before the final fight?

bunnykei,

In the patch notes somewhere, it says you need to do the final fight again. Reload from the brainstem works.

Anticorp,

Thank you. I’m glad I didn’t delete that save when clearing space for my second playthrough! PS5 only allows 50 saves total for some reason.

Mrs_deWinter,

I reloaded a save I had from within the fight. I can’t get those spoiler tags to work, so I can’t get into more details without revealing the finale, but you definitely don’t have to repeat the whole fight. You just need to get to a point before it jumps into the epilogue to trigger it.

I so want to play honor mode with someone… Anyone wanna kill time on PC or PS5 sometime? I’ll play my cleric/sorc OC <3

Trust me. He’s useful.

inasaba,

A lightning specialist, I assume?

Astarion standing loudly silent in the background while Gale awkwardly rambled about adrenaline and how big and sweaty my muscles were apropos of nothing felt utterly appropriate. It's not my favorite screenshot, but it is secretly up there.

@RiikkaTheIcePrincess@pawb.social avatar

🤔 Why can’t I find a commagazine for finding critters to play things with? There should definitely be one somewhere :-\

I won’t have BG3 for another couple of years, though, so I cannot offer to provide this with-playing service for you (but actually also myself 'cause bleeeh I haven’t actually talked to a person in ages) 😅

BobaFett26,
@BobaFett26@lemmy.world avatar

Why won’t you have it for another couple years?

RiikkaTheIcePrincess,
@RiikkaTheIcePrincess@pawb.social avatar

I just assume it’ll be $60/at least $30 for a year or two and kinda have no income.

I don’t know how time works; maybe it’ll only be a year or something before big sales occur? 😅 🤷‍♀️

EmpathicVagrant,

Maybe they’ll bless with a featured monthly drop like they did with Callisto

Linuto,

Critter as in Critical Role? The CR community here is pretty small to begin with, but maybe you could try posting over there.

RiikkaTheIcePrincess,
@RiikkaTheIcePrincess@pawb.social avatar

I have no idea what you’re talking about <.< I just call people “critters” because I think it’s cute and amusey :3

Linuto, (edited )

Oh gotcha. There is a community built around a D&D let’s play who call themselves, “Critters”, as a play on words with the title of said show, “Critical Role”. Thought that was what you were referring to.

So I didn’t realize that kbin wasn’t getting votes federated properly nor that the kbin/lemmy threadiverse thingle was so hateful until I came to Reddit 2Lemmy and saw that, as with Reddit 1, everything I say gets silently downvoted. Obviously these are just crappy people with nothing to actually say but damn, kinda makes this place feel awful like everybody’s just sitting around waiting for a chance to jump on people. Literal Reddit wasn’t this bad in my experience.
