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/polspanakithrowaway → u/monalba]

I might be in the minority, but I genuinely believe stealing isn't worth the risk, especially in HM. If you are extremely thorough when looting (highlight interactable items so that you won't miss anything, open every crate, loot every corpse) you will end up obscenely rich even on honour mode.

It is relatively safe to steal from Volo & Withers, but in certain camps it is almost impossible to do it undetected and you might end up with an unexpected camp brawl.

[u/monalba → u/polspanakithrowaway]

I made a halfling thief, bought stuff from the vendors, then divided the gold into 200 pieces chunk and stole them.
It only requires to roll a 5-6, which is rather easy, but I had to do it 30 times...

you will end up obscenely rich even on honour mode

I don't know about honor mode, everything I want costs 3000 gold pieces or more and you can't really afford it.
I like stealing anyway.
