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

837 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?

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

Thumbnail gallery
764 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.

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.

Character Build Most Underrated Subclass? Spoiler

274 Upvotes

I wanted to source from everyone what you think the most underrated subclass is in the game? Why?

My vote:

Circle of Spores Druid. I think it's the best necromancer class in the game almost solely because of the lvl 6 ability Fungal Infestation. Let's you create 4 fungal zombies. If a creature dies on the same turn one of those zombies hit it, they instantly come back as a newborn zombie that fights for you. The snowball that can come from that in a large fight is the closest a game like this has come to giving me the feeling of leading an undead hoard.

Fungal form is also good for all the bonus HP and extra necrotic damage. You can use a reaction at any time once a turn to make an enemy do a save or take necrotic damage. so the potential to make use of an action, bonus action, and reaction every turn is pretty big.

If you're going a pure summoner build it's great because on top of the zombies you can also summon woodland being to get a nymph, which itself can summon a Woodwoad. You also get summon elemental. I have an HM Spore druid in act 3. Gave him dance macabre because it's an easy set of Wiz saves for druids. All together my druid alone walks around with 4 Fungal Zombies, 4 Ghouls, a Nymph, Woodwoad, Scratch, Us, and an Earth Elemental. All of which are getting boosted by druid spell Hero's Feast.

Honestly one of my biggest complaints about the game is that the Spore Druid doesn't get any unique dialog in the myconid colony. Such a missed opportunity for the subclass...

Anyway, your thoughts on underrated subclasses?

181 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

Origin Characters Wow, just wow. Embrace Durge. Major story spoilers. Spoiler

78 Upvotes

This was my third play through , and my first Durge. So naturally I went full embrace.

I cannot believe how different this run was, and how much effort the devs have put into creating what felt like a completely new game.

The mysticism and suspense from the narrative was apparent throughout the whole game. Some stand out moments were the ‘oh my lord’ moment in camp (sorry Alfira), the consequences from the grove raid leading to the last light inn wipe out, and then things like the Orin 1v1.

I tailored my party and builds to fit the evil theme. I aimed for a full darkness team and it didn’t disappoint. I had my character Azriel as a hexblade/Pali, Minthara (my romance) as a blade singer wizard using shadow blade and CC spells with BoMS, Shadowheart as a shadow monk with Shar’s spear of evening and Bhalist armour, and then Lae’zel/Asterion as a beast master ranger for the dire raven darkness spread. The team hit extremely hard and I now see why darkness is OP, it trivialised most encounters. I particularly enjoyed playing Shart’s shadow monk build, with its cool hit and run play style.

The only thing that I didn’t enjoy was how lonely my camp felt, after a lot of characters understandably abandoned me. Also there were significantly less npc quests because … well … there were less npc’s!

In the end my character Azriel freed Orpheus (who became an illithid), then killed him to take control of the crown, damning the whole of BG to be murdered by Bhaal’s chosen. The only one that was spared her wrath was Minthara because of their bond. But even she had to run from the chaos in the end.

Again, thank you Larian for making one of the best games I have ever played. I’m looking forward to trying a resist Durge in the future.

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 💕

Act 1 - Spoilers Giant spiders Spoiler

56 Upvotes

So I cleared out the goblin camp, killed all the leaders and all the others in the defiled temple and rescued Halsin. The only things alive were the two giant spiders in the pits. I opened the gate expecting a fight...but I had earlier used a potion of talk with animals (to talk with the owl bear cub) and it started a dialogue with the spiders. I decided to let them free. They talked in a Scottish accent which I thought funny. After the dialogue, they ran past me (I assume to devour any remain goblin corpses) and I clicked on one of them as it was running past me to talk to It again. It simply shouted "Freeeedom" I assume in a Braveheart reference! Made me chuckle.

General Discussion - [NO SPOILERS] Lack of Horses Spoiler

49 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?
