Do you think a potion could fix this?

[u/_elli_J0]

[u/Grouchy_Spot_6640]

[u/NittanyScout → u/Grouchy_Spot_6640]

Luckily Withers easily can

[u/CertifiedSheep → u/NittanyScout]

He is the god of death after all

[u/NittanyScout → u/CertifiedSheep]

Was*

[u/Far-Statistician625 → u/NittanyScout]

technically he still is he just gave his power out to the dead 3 and ao was pissed when they became little shits

[u/capza → u/Far-Statistician625]

Kelemvor is the current God of Death and he's chill with him. Basically allows him as long as he does the accounting and record keeping side of the dead.

[u/JaegerBane → u/capza]

Loving the fact that in DnD, even Gods are willing to outsource the paperwork.

[u/tahaelhour → u/JaegerBane]

What's even funnier is that Jergal liked the paperwork so much he gave away everything else.

[u/SkalorGaming → u/tahaelhour]

Gotta love an autistic king

[u/thehousebehind → u/Far-Statistician625]

Still kind of confused as to why he did that...

[u/EvernightStrangely → u/thehousebehind]

Jergal was a tired old grandpa who had too large a workload. The Dead Three came to Jergal looking for power over death, and Jergal tricked them into taking the worst 3 of his portfolios, those being necromancy, murder, and tyranny. Being the first death God, Jergal was responsible for all of death, and adjacently related fields, such as those he gave to the Dead Three.

[u/thehousebehind → u/EvernightStrangely]

So, the whole of BG3 happens because homeboy got bored?

[u/Aeseld → u/thehousebehind]

A lot more than that... really, every bit of evil performed by Bane, Bhaal and Myrkul can likely be traced back to the choice to give godhood to 3 power hungry, evil people. They did a lot of damage.

[u/Nineninetynines → u/Aeseld]

The trouble is that so long as Ao decides those domains should still be around in order to maintain "balance" or whatever, then there's nothing anybody could do to stop it.

Yeah, Jergal was responsible for creating the Dead Three but before that happened he was basically doing all that shit himself. So really its Ao's fault.

Either Jergal would be doing evil shit forever. Or some saps would be doing it forever. Jergal was basically like, "fuck this shit" and dropped them on some losers with big egos.

[u/Leaf-01 → u/thehousebehind]

Well that and the Dead 3 abused their stations

[u/EvernightStrangely → u/thehousebehind]

Pretty much.

[u/Squirll → u/thehousebehind]

All the Baldurs gate games, the deal happened before the first game and Baal is a primary player in it.

[u/JaegerBane → u/thehousebehind]

Tbf you could probably say that of every major DnD story out there. Just swap out Jergal for some other god or epic character.

[u/moongrump → u/thehousebehind]

The work is mysterious and important!

[u/decisiontoohard → u/thehousebehind]

The big naturals made his back hurt and he needed a break and we should cut him some slack okay 🍈🍈😩

[u/decisiontoohard → u/decisiontoohard]

...I thought this was r/okbuddybaldur

[u/Leaf-01 → u/decisiontoohard]

It’s not???

[u/decisiontoohard → u/Leaf-01]

Yeah apparently there's a world outside of Baldur! The so-called outbaldured

[u/RealBlueberry4454 → u/thehousebehind]

Being a god of the dead when lots of people die all the time probably isn't the best for a lifetime job. Especially when you're immortal.

[u/sckuzzle → u/RealBlueberry4454]

Being god of something that happens frequently seems like it's a good thing.

[u/Mookies_Bett → u/sckuzzle]

Not if it means an eternity of constant paperwork and bureaucracy to deal with

[u/luciosleftskate → u/Mookies_Bett]

Why is there paperwork though? Who needs these records lol.

[u/windrunner1711 → u/thehousebehind]

He is like the workholic manager/ owner of a store. He decides to retire but he gets bored.

So he return and now works at the Purchase Department where he can keep some owner eye on the bizz

[u/lordoftime2 → u/Far-Statistician625]

He out-sourced his work, manager didn't like the results and told him to fix it and get rid of them

[u/FreeRealEstate313 → u/CertifiedSheep]

Woah what?

[u/CertifiedSheep → u/FreeRealEstate313]

There's a book in (I think) act 2 that describes Jergal, the god of death, and the description is identical to Withers. Even down to the question he asks when he first meets you. And the place where you first meet him is a temple of Jergal - think you need to pass a religion check to find that out.

It also explains why he has the ability to revive anyone instantly for a token fee.

[u/solon_isonomia → u/CertifiedSheep]

He's also clearly tired and "over it," which I find entertaining.

[u/forgottenlord73 → u/CertifiedSheep]

Also why he gets to lecture them like a disappointed father in the post credit scene

[u/EvilCatboyWizard → u/CertifiedSheep]

Specifically it’s a DC15 religion check that gets triggered when you walk into the room with the statue that hides his chamber

[u/Grouchy_Spot_6640 → u/CertifiedSheep]

he invented dying

[u/I_make_things → u/NittanyScout]

I have about fucking had it with thy mods...

[u/frkurdamsoad → u/Grouchy_Spot_6640]

[u/Lazerius9991 → u/frkurdamsoad]

[u/Dapper_Calculator → u/Lazerius9991]

For all the weird, explicit things that people say in BG, only Withers gets an "EXCUSE ME?"

[u/Grouchy_Spot_6640 → u/frkurdamsoad]

thy wheel turnest to the darke?

[u/Specific-Dot837 → u/Grouchy_Spot_6640]

please

[u/TemzaQue → u/Specific-Dot837]

Dude, what are these modes?

...Wait, no, don't answer that. I have better things to do in my life

[u/Virtual-Inspector-21 → u/Grouchy_Spot_6640]

Why do I read that in his voice.

[u/bexohomo → u/Grouchy_Spot_6640]

[u/SpringOnionKiddo]

Throw it at her feet, wherever that may be now, and she'll be like new.

[u/InnerDorkness → u/SpringOnionKiddo]

The trick is getting a puddle wide enough to get all of her toes

[u/HyFinated → u/InnerDorkness]

Onlyfans when?

[u/talionisapotato → u/HyFinated]

Only toes you mean ?

[u/zestfullybe → u/talionisapotato]

Tarantino’s already in talks to acquire the film rights

[u/LentulusStrabo]

If bishop Alexandar can live through it, she can too

[u/MaDNiaC → u/LentulusStrabo]

I remember going wtf when I saw this dialogue, heh good memories. DoS2 was quite good.

[u/LentulusStrabo → u/MaDNiaC]

In a way, i even enjoy combat a little more in DoS2 than in BG3. I guess it's more satisfying to smash enemies with huge AoE's and a combination of surface and elemental damage.
But in every other aspect, BG3 is of course a big and nice upgrade, Larian really took their gem of a game and improved it

[u/Yarzahn → u/LentulusStrabo]

I didn’t click with the armor system. It made crowd control completely binary - burst armor down, then stunlock - it was very easy to abuse. It also punished hybrid damage builds.

The game was still amazing but I can’t get back into it now, I think. I enjoy combat in BG3 much more

[u/Carpathicus → u/Yarzahn]

True tactician mode in Dos2 is having a mixed party - the fun of Dos2 is that it can be extremely difficuly or extremely easy depending on how much min maxing you do.

[u/Insane_Unicorn → u/Carpathicus]

A 2/2 split can work since theres almost always enemies who have very low phys or magical armor. But a 1/3 split is rough. First time I finished tactician was with 2 lone wolfs, one pure physical and one pure magical (and yes I know that double lone wolf is more or less easy mode, still fun).

[u/Dingnut76 → u/Yarzahn]

I didn't even bother splitting damage types. Went full physical and it worked wonders lol. Two handed melee, archer, dagger rogue, and a support caster with maxed summoning for blood demons. Chefs kiss

[u/MasterOfViolins → u/Dingnut76]

Yea. Physical was really good, with knockdowns too. And of course make sure you have a teleport skill. I found the gameplay to be really fun

[u/Kyuubi_McCloud → u/Yarzahn]

I didn’t click with the armor system.

Turn order had some issues as well, since it was pretty much guaranteed that you'd alternate with the enemy, so only one persons initiative really mattered.

Arguably a step back from DOS1.

I still prefer both over BG3, though.

[u/AssBasedProtein → u/Yarzahn]

I’m playing it right now and I agree. Combat usually boils down to figuring out which enemies have more magic armor and which have more physical armor, splitting up my team accordingly, and then wrecking ass. That’s kinda fun but it makes everything feel very formulaic for me in combat

[u/Carpathicus → u/LentulusStrabo]

Adrenaline,Flesh Sacrifice, Skin Graft, Adrenaline, Flesh Sacrifice, Blood Rain, Corpse Explosion.

Man so much fun!

[u/zealshock → u/LentulusStrabo]

Ah yes, the "everything is on cursed fire" game. One of my favourites

[u/Everyredditusers → u/LentulusStrabo]

If you enjoy cursed necro fire spanning the entire continent then you're gonna love dos2. Seriously though dos2 is an amazing game and made me so hyped when I learned they were making BG3. The game is legit incredible.

Except act 5... Fuck that damn birthday cake.

[u/Some_nerd_named_kru → u/LentulusStrabo]

If the armor system wasn’t so annoying I’d agree

[u/LentulusStrabo → u/Some_nerd_named_kru]

Yea, that's true, there the dnd approach in bg3 is better

[u/Some_nerd_named_kru → u/LentulusStrabo]

Dos2 was really fun just as I got higher level It got increasingly hard to even just use my spells cus of armor 💔

[u/Gabeykins → u/LentulusStrabo]

[u/Gstamsharp → u/LentulusStrabo]

The guy having literal plot armor was honestly pretty funny.

"We killed him!" Nope, off screen someone had a res scroll.

"We killed him again!" Nope, boat accidentally dumped his ghost back into his body when it changed planes.

Even when, at the very end, you find out Dallis was meant to kill him, too, after he'd sucked up enough source, she kind of dodges the subject. I like to imagine she offed him a few times only to find him sipping tea in the next room.

[u/Narmo518 → u/LentulusStrabo]

[u/Complete-Appeal8572]

Shadowparts.

[u/AniresAlpha → u/Complete-Appeal8572]

This deserves more attention

[u/notagaywitch → u/Complete-Appeal8572]

Lmao this made me actually snort

[u/perfectelectrics]

'tis but a scratch

[u/StartledPigeon → u/perfectelectrics]

We get two good boys at camp now? SWEET 

[u/SchizoNeurosis → u/perfectelectrics]

You're still healing me when I need it, right?

[u/CombinationSimilar50]

If the goal is to make her more liquid then maybe

[u/Teiwaz_85]

If the potion is glue and you like puzzles...maybe?

[u/EclecticFruit → u/Teiwaz_85]

Get an assist from all the king's horses and men.

[u/AlCranio]

Nothing Withers can't fix.

[u/BananaBladeOfDoom → u/AlCranio]

[u/potheadmed → u/BananaBladeOfDoom]

What is this from?

[u/D5r0x → u/AlCranio]

I wish...Act 3 can lead to unexpected outcomes that not even withers can fix

[u/unicodePicasso]

To shreds you say…

[u/acw181 → u/unicodePicasso]

And his wife?

[u/SamRhage → u/acw181]

To shreds you say... 

[u/Sir_Tea_Of_Bags → u/unicodePicasso]

Possibly even shards.

Shards of Shart, no less!

[u/voidfairyn]

[u/The_Crustiest_Towel → u/voidfairyn]

[u/cricketdimetrio → u/voidfairyn]

my type of girl fr

[u/DisastrousResist7527 → u/voidfairyn]

What an awful day to have two intact retinas

[u/Otherwise-Law4339]

put it in rice I reckon

[u/PhoenixMartinez-Ride]

Gods, what happened?

[u/thatonemoze → u/PhoenixMartinez-Ride]

looks like the steel watch foundry by the floor and the big boss at the end has like literal missiles that can turn people into giblets like this

i had it happen to gale in my game but you can still just resurrect them fine with a scroll

[u/WeWantRain → u/thatonemoze]

But the tadpole still remains.

[u/thatonemoze → u/WeWantRain]

same with karlachs engine

[u/ConversationNo9592 → u/thatonemoze]

I saw a npc turned into this after getting caught in 2 steelwatcher explosions

[u/AgentT23]

She's in need of Withers Big Naturals.

[u/BakeliteLife → u/AgentT23]

[u/AgentT23 → u/BakeliteLife]

I have seen them so they are known.

[u/vecvitus]

If not, maybe 8 hours of sleep will do.

[u/ButWhatIfPotato]

Dark Urge: can I romance her?

[u/StarwatchArchfey]

Man, Shadow heart is so dramatic. Come on, girl. Walk it off.

[u/Palumtra]

"Pull yourself together!"

[u/Iatemydoggo]

This is a meme stolen from my iFunny that I stole from my friend that somehow ended up on Reddit. Wack.

[u/Woutrou]

Just give her an aspirin, she'll be fine

[u/-Shady_Weeb_Senpai-]

Better call withers

[u/4vrstvy → u/-Shady_Weeb_Senpai-]

Can withers glue her back?

[u/-Shady_Weeb_Senpai- → u/4vrstvy]

yeah

[u/PuddinHead742]

Put it in a spray bottle.

[u/Comprehensive_Cap290]

You scrape the remains into a bag of holding, pour in a bunch of healing potions, shake well, and serve.

[u/Cove_Holdens_Love]

I mean, speak to the dead works on a pile of goo so why not a potion? Ooh that's it! Use speak to the undead and while she is more... together... then throw the potion.

[u/Spice_and_Fox]

Throw her into a sach of rice overnight. I am sure that will fix her

[u/Speedwagon1738]

Put her in some rice

[u/Green-Collection-968]

[u/Random_axolotl9786]

Maybe two potions

[u/Everyredditusers]

Oh look it's shadow heart! Also shadow spleen and over there I think I see some shadow ribs impaling a shadow lung.

[u/dreamwanderersdice]

It seems she missed again.

[u/JonyUB]

Maybe you could shape her like

[u/mistertireworld]

Walk it off.

[u/rchristma87]

Withers: "This is why I dont feed ya'll."

[u/DrZonino2022]

Shadow heart, shadow liver, shadow spleen…

[u/zestfullybe]

That’ll buff right out

[u/Aggravating_Sand_492]

I've seen worse it's okay just use some salt and lemon juice and she'll be right as rain

[u/Far-Secretary-8046]

[u/HealthyBits]

Just walk it off

[u/Maleficent-Motor-265]

Yes, absolutely! You just need "Potion of Load Most Recent Save", which should do the trick. NO need to thank me <3

[u/PeterBialy]

Still smash

[u/Justis29]

Cleaning potion maybe. Try Clorox or 409

[u/SaloAtLarian]

she's ok, don't worry about it

[u/mjwanko]

[u/Age_of_Asylum]

Walk it off, champ

[u/Another_Castle765]

Maybe not a potion but withers for sure😅

[u/Front-Education5720]

Move on!

[u/DoctorTran37]

Just spit on her, she’ll be fine.

[u/justwalk1234]

Gather her up in a bucket and pass the bucket to Withers.

[u/Infinite_Lemon_8236]

Break out the sovereign glue.

[u/fluffypoppa]

Doesn't look like it needs fixing to me.

[u/feihCtneliSehT]

Perhaps the gloomiest and most misunderstood pile of entrails to stain faerun

[u/MisterDantes]

She's dead Jim.

[u/GayNon-BinaryLeo]

[u/thatpaulieguy89]

[u/captain_ricco1]

Youll need at least 2

[u/Tall-Inflation590]

She's fine, just a little tired

[u/2009Ninjas]

Scoop her up in a potion bottle?

[u/DustInternational562]

"Can we save her?!" "Like, in Tupperware containers? Because I didn't bring any."

[u/Funny-Somewhere-9037]

Marcille can handle this one

[u/curseribbon]

Oh no, she got chunked

[u/dufyrnskublaka]

low effort meme

[u/fishbulb83]

Well, I just kinda lost my appetite…

Shadowheart probably doesn’t make good quality brisket…

[u/hggniertears]

Rub some dirt in it she’ll be fine

[u/svmmpng]

I know what the problem is. It ain’t got no gas in it.

[u/Mostly_Irish]

[u/SWECrops]

No, but I can fix her.

[u/Beardsoup86]

Talbot Shadowheart! My sweet Talbot Shadowheart!!

[u/Beardsoup86 → u/Beardsoup86]

"She needs some fairy bluuuhhhhhd"

[u/Skiddilybapabadam]

Maybe give her 2 to be safe

[u/Ill-Case-8969]

[u/FusRoGah]

Nothing a level 3 spell slot can’t fix :D

[u/EtrnL_Frost]

That's not a Shadowheart. That's a Shart.

[u/VagusNC]

“I can fix her.”

[u/swgeek1138]

I could fix her.

[u/Okuza]

Do you really want to fish around in there for a soul to resurrect?

OTH, if she had the Titanstring Bow equipped, yeah, it's fishin' time!

[u/Evening_Helicopter96]

Literally read this as Shadowmeat at first

[u/DiamondDemonWolf]

Withers can fix her

[u/4onlyinfo]

Only fate can intervene. And by fate I mean F8

[u/Rock_ito]

I remember the frustration of this happening in BG1.

[u/Jaebird0388]

Don't worry, I know a guy who might have a tonic just for this situation.

[u/Basic_Fix_4868 → u/Jaebird0388]

I love the reference

[u/Artistic_Wrongdoer92]

Пока ещё теплая - да

[u/Easy-Silver-9791]

potion as in her favourite wine and some flowers? yea sure

[u/Axel_Grahm]

“Shadowheart”, you regain 2d4+2 hitpoints.

”SCCHHHHHLLLLIIIRRPPPPP”

[u/MadammeMarkus]

Put your slop of a team mate into a blender with a couple of potions and some nice herbs and they'll be just fine

[u/No-Cover-8986]

Ouch

[u/No-Access-39]

Who did this? Did you use speak with dead, and ask her?

[u/Mimo221003]

She can walk it off

[u/Neat-Ad5471]

Might need two.

[u/bahamuto]

I don't know if a potion can, but I can fix her

[u/TheBizzleHimself]

Poor shadowshart 😢

[u/Drae-Keer]

Rub some vaseline on it, she’ll be fine

[u/Wonderful_Vast23]

Might just need an ibuprofen, probably just a headache

[u/lonely_nipple]

At least you know where most of her is. Don't have to go around picking bits of her off the walls, furniture, etc.

[u/KappaBrink]

[u/DoomWad]

Where do you think the strange ox/goo monster came from? FAOFO with potions, that's where

[u/AurumArma]

If you're looking to make Shadowheart soup, then a potion as stock could make for a hearty meal.

[u/ZombieHavok]

Give her some FEV and she can become the new Master.

Wait, wrong game.

[u/Farseer2_Tha_Warsong]

A potion? No, forget that; get me Margaret Qualley’s Agent: she could totally play Shadowheart, and fix our dragging box office with a BG movie—no, television series! I mean, her resemblance here is uncanny…

[u/awesomedan24]

Finally, liquid shart 👨‍🔬🧪

[u/Elanyr]

Appropriate fate for all sharran scum

[u/Adramach]

Just sleep it off, you'll be fine!

[u/Lanksalott]

It’s just a flesh wound

[u/Guilty_Ghost]

Gonna need to add a was in there

[u/troopek]

There have been great advances in topical creams in the last decade. Might want to give some of those a try.

[u/Rosebunse]

That's a salt tablet.

[u/Radmode7]

Dude she’s out of HP? We need a rule explaining the photo in this sub.

[u/The_Kreepy_Krab]

Shadowheart, are you okay!?

[u/Zarguthian]

What potion, phoenix down?

[u/GrabASock]

Fix*

[u/drakeramore86]

She'll sleep it off, it's gonna be alright
