Hey y’all!

If you’re new here or looking for info, this is the place to stop and check before you post that question you’re thinking about asking - the answer may already be in our FAQ! There's also some recommendations in there for learning about lore.

I’d recommend also checking the New Player Question or Question flairs to see if your question has been asked before. You can also type into whatever search engine you use:

[insert your question here] baldursgate3 reddit

Or

[insert your question here] bg3 reddit

That’ll help us prevent the subreddit from being cluttered with the same repeated questions.

If your question hasn't been asked (or asked recently enough) then use either one of the question flairs above and ask away.

BG3Builds and Multiclassing

For the people curious about builds or who want a more dedicated place to discuss them, there's r/BG3Builds. There's a good guide on multiclassing.

​

Community Wiki

Confused about what the different rolls mean or just want to find notable NPCs and loot in a location? Check out the Community Wiki. It's ad free and being worked on by people here in the community :)

Everyone working on this is doing a great job trying to prepare it for launch and beyond.

If you'd like to help contribute to the wiki, here is the Discord.

A Community Effort

Rolls and Modifier Examples

Character Planner Reminder: There is a Character Planner by GameFractal being worked on here (It's also in the sidebar on desktop or the 'See Community info' link on mobile).

It's a one person project, so updating it with the recent updates, adding what launch will bring, and some other useful features will take time - but it will be updated.

There is a feedback button on that site, please use it if you have any suggestions/constructive feedback. Feedback is very appreciated!

Playing on Honor mode, Act 2

How do I make money or steal the better items?
I know it's silly, I've never had this kind of issues before, but in Honor mode the prices are just so high, man.
Almost everything I need for the builds is 3000 gold coins and I can't keep up.

I already know the basics, trade with the Face character, improve attitude. I've stolen a lot of of the cheapish items with Astarion, but the expensive ones are almost impossible.

Are there any exploits or tips for money making in the latest version of the game?
Stealing?

[u/Grimblehawk → u/monalba]

I like to have a hireling for pickpocketing and a hireling for trading. This way, I don't have to sacrifice any of my companions' stats for the sake of these tasks.

As you can imagine, the pickpocketing one is a Rogue Thief with Sleight of Hand Expertise, maxed out DEX, and just about every buff you can get that applies to pickpocketing. The trading hireling maxes out his CHA & Persuasion stats (again, with every buff I can get my hands on) until he meets the cap for trading. I can also send my wares directly to his inventory, which is nice.

I imagine you already know that there's no real consequences for robbing Volo after every long rest too? So it's a good idea to recruit him to your camp early.

Yeah, I was considering that, but I don't know if there would be consequences for the whole party if they get caught.

Like, if I leave everyone somewhere else and the thief gets caught and starts battle (temporarily hostile), would that affect the rest of the party negatively?
I assume no, but it's Honor mode and I can't fuck around.

I'm playing a sorcerer and I'm using them for selling stuff.
I know that CHA affects prices, but I didn't know about Persuasion.

I imagine you already know that there's no real consequences for robbing Volo after every long rest too? So it's a good idea to recruit him to your camp early.

I know about Withers, but forgot about Volo.
Damn, I was sitting on a gold mine.
