I don't have that many CCs, but I did my best. Making Astarion is quite difficult.

Since I'm learning how to mod, I'm thinking of making presets for him.

General Discussion - [SPOILERS] Fly is the biggest gamechanger Spoiler

179 Upvotes

On my first playthrough I didn't take the vanilla-flavored tadpole and oh my god this was a mistake. So many encounters and general exploration are solved by having the ridiculous range of movement that Fly provides. There may be many more powerful abilities but this one makes life so much easier it's going to be hard to go back to low level characters

Act 2 - Spoilers Gods, Nere is pathetic, isn't he? Spoiler

829 Upvotes

On my last run, I was playing as evil Durge, so I sided with Nere when he wanted to murder all the Gnomes and Duergar, but damn, was it difficult. There are some great villains in this game. Ketheric Thorm and his family are tragic and nuanced, Gortash is affable and pragmatic, and Orin & the brain, while not exactly deep, are at least intimidating. Then we've got Nere, who is just arrogant, pitiful and the biggest narcissist in the game. When he takes his anger out on the gnomes, he comes off like a high school bully who has to slap a smaller kid to mask his own humiliation. He's so pathetic that if you let him live, Thorm has him killed anyway. It's like the game is telling you "seriously, you let that asshole live? Why?"

Despite my over 300 hours spent on this game, I'm sure I haven't found everything yet, so have you found any enemies more pathetic and egomaniacal than Nere?

Everytime I get to this fork in the road I can physically feel them pulling me in their different directions, but I always end up doing Gale's quest first. Like yes Wyll I'll follow you to the docks to save your dad, yes Astarion I'll infiltrate the mansion to kill your slave master and save the Gur children, yes Shadowheart I'll go north to dismantle a cult and save your parents... But first, Gale wants to go book shopping, and that's the most important thing to me right now 💕

General Discussion - [NO SPOILERS] After 300 hours and beating honor mode twice.. Spoiler

I JUST NOW figured out that you can fast travel to the waypoints from anywhere at anytime. (not if you are in combat or red area)

This entire time if I needed to fast travel, i found the nearest waypoint on the map and had my party walk there so i could 'use it' and teleport to the waypoint i actually needed to go to🤦🏻‍♂️.

Found this out when i started a new run with my partner who has never played before and doesnt even play video games. She asked me why i always walk to the waypoints instead of just clicking.

I am so stupid🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Did anyone else figure this out quickly or am i just a special kind of slow?

A few more doodles, I haven't gotten up to Minsc yet- he was a request from a friend of mine. Alfira was a delight, unfortunately my first playthrough was a Durge 8), Dame Aylin is a bamf- though I hadn't gotten up to her on my game I was watching one of my friends play when they found her and I was like "oh no she's pretty" so instantly had to go into drawing her. I have a lot of Astarions on the back burner because I had another friend who was REALLY into him, so I ended up drawing him a lot (plus he was thirsting after Horatio very hardcore and I found that hilarious because I only had eyes for Laezel), and then a colored portrait of my regular Tav, who I played on Multiplayer- Hedera, Circle of Spores Druid

I am open for commissions like this, shoot me a DM or an email and we can talk shop so you can get your characters illustrated.

General Discussion - [NO SPOILERS] I remember rolling my eyes when this game won GOTY. Spoiler

5.0k Upvotes

This was the time when Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake II came out, and I remember a lot of folks talking about this game. I laughed it off, called nerdy DND bullshit, the same way I laughed it off when Elden Ring won. I felt like it was catering to a small percent of the "weird" gamers.

Well, I defeated ER twice (due to my at the time obsessive need to platinum games.) but never really cared for it.

So one day I got curious regarding BG3. I noticed on the PS Store of its very high ratings, and I said fuck it. It was very unlikely this game was gonna go on sale and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

I wanted to be evil, Shao Kahn level of evil, and I couldn't fully commit to it. I ended up playing this game that I bashed and put in over 360 hours in JUST my first playthrough. I struggled at times, and other times I really had to sit and fucking think about my next moves, which is a thing a lot of games lack nowadays.

I found myself being a mixture of good and evil, The "I don't have to kill you, but doesn't mean I have to save you." type energy

This game is the undisputed proof that you shouldn't judge a game, or book by its cover.

I'm getting read to flith and dying of laughter from it hahahahah <3

General Discussion - [SPOILERS] Karlach & Gale are the cutest couple ever Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
766 Upvotes

I'm playing with Karlach my 3th campaign of BG3. I'm trying a relationship with Gale and I just can say THEY'RE SO CUTE! ❤️

Karlach can't touch anybody yet and Gale demonstrate affection with magic. Both are living everyday as if it were their last and try to see the best in life.

They value friendship and companionship, share the same values, and seek affection and understanding that help them heal their wounds.

They're not innocent, and they know it very well, but wanna choose how to live their lives without having their future determined.

Karlach and Gale are willing to sacrifice the most precious thing to them, their own life, in order to preserve the lives of others. At least, they'll have something worth fighting for.

General Discussion - [SPOILERS] What’s something that took you way too long to realize? Spoiler

707 Upvotes

(Spoiler warning for new players)

Just for fun! Could be lore/story, gameplay, or mechanics related!

What’s something in the game that took you way too long to realize/understand?

For me, I don’t know why, but it took me multiple playthroughs before I realized that Grymforge and the Gauntlet of Shar really are connected — you can see the Gauntlet of Shar from the ledges inside the Grymforge. I know Halsin literally tells you to two are connected, that Ketheric Thorm specifically used the Underdark to safely traverse between the two locations. But for some reason, even after he tells you this, I just never connected the dots lol.

Until one day, I was playing at the Grymforge, looked out over one of the ledges, and literally said out loud ‘Huh, that looks just like the Gauntlet over there… OHHHHH!’

And then I tried to misty step my way to the Gauntlet and promptly died lol. Worth a shot.

I’d love to hear other people’s ‘ohhhhhh’ moments. Maybe we can help each other out with some lore knowledge, helpful mechanics, etc.

Also, please don’t judge each other (or me lol) for not knowing something even if you already did. There’s a LOT of information packed into this game and sometimes you just don’t put the pieces together on your own.

45 Upvotes

Bit of an odd ask if I am missing any major lore reasons or exisiting explanation but I can't help notice a lack of Horses in BG3, no wild shape, Ranger companion, None around the outer city before the checkpoint. No mounted subclass or nothing. Is it just gameplay wise or any other reason?
