I couldn't stand it, and this battle was so long, as I'm playing a necromancer with shitloads of minions.Raphael's boss theme is great, getting to listen to it again and again was the one upside of all the time he spent wiping the floor with me
mages are kinda boring
unfit to psycho murderer
Lore-wise, assassin rogue or berserker barbarian fit best. Warlock would be weird, since your background spoilers-spoilers already has you be a member of a certain worship club, so the demonic pact is unfitting. But as I've said before, its great for schizomaxxing - tadpole + urges + demon + amnesia.
Don't go cleric, makes no sense with the background. And note that the character is canonically from Baldur's Gate, so don't pick a gith, makes no sense.
Each to their own, I wasn't sold until his part came in but loved it after that, felt very in character. The only battle I felt was going on forever so far was the Viconia one at the end of Shadowheart's quest if you go against Shar, never againI couldn't stand it, and this battle was so long, as I'm playing a necromancer with shitloads of minions.Raphael's boss theme is great, getting to listen to it again and again was the one upside of all the time he spent wiping the floor with me
It's just a Ballspawn nostalgia grab background. You could be anything as the Ballspawn in BG1 too.Glad they decided to let Durge be anything.
Ever heard of spoilers dude?...mages are kinda boring

Imagine the smell.More or less how my shoulders & back looked like before laser hair removal.For some reason I can't stop laughing at this guy's face:
I wish they'd allow for that with every origin. You can put limits on it when it's relevant to the narrative in terms of race or what have you (e.g. if you pick the Shadowheart origin for your PC, you are hardlocked to playing half-elf since you get to meet your parents as NPCs in the game), but otherwise it's silly to outright remove any sort of appearance customization.Glad they decided to let Durge be anything.

Paladins can do that in this version. Also, a wizard has always been a better assassin than any of the assassin type of classes.It's just a Ballspawn nostalgia grab background. You could be anything as the Ballspawn in BG1 too.Glad they decided to let Durge be anything.
This character origin however has a lot of bagage and story reveals. I don't see the point of making the character a bard, cleric or whatever for instance. That some people roleplay him as a paladin bogles the mind. Even a spellcaster or fighter doesn't make much sense.
Dude was literally a street prowling serial killer ambushing and murdering people. Rogue makes the most sense, specially Assassin subclass. Or Gloom Stalker.

Split screen is so buggy right now that we just acquired a second copy to play in LANPlay with friends. Preferably in real life. There's even a sort of hidden split screen option on PC. Me and a buddy rolled a barbarian and fighter and just cheesed every encounter by shoving things off cliffs.
Durge spoilersDurge was also the leader of the Cult of the Absolute and the one who created the plan in the first place. Seems like more of a conniving knowledgeable schemer than some bloodthirsty serial killer in the streets. Especially since Gortash says "I always liked you better than Orin, you could control your urges."

The way he murders the bard or goes haywire if you give in to the urges(literally biting people's limbs off or needlessly mutilating corpses). He personally murdered his victims with the assistance of his "butler" like some horror movie antagonist too.

I avoided my urges whenever possible (The only time I killed anyone was the bard, which is mandatory), and he went on and on about how much more controlled I was than Orin.
Try flying or feather falling.60 hours and still enjoying act 1. Finished the Nere fight yesterday, with the help of the Duergar and killing Nere in the first 2 two rounds wasn't particularly difficult but still fun. Tried to save the girl Nere kicks into the lava by attacking him before the cutscene start but I couldn't make it work. Shame. Now mopping up the rest of Grymforge and the Underdark. Accidentally killed the mushroom picker because I love blowing shit up and forgot he might be in there, came running out but died before he could entirely get clear of the exploding mushrooms. So I reloaded because I'm nice. Once I'm done below the surface I finally get to the mountain pass area
Oh yeah, how does the elevator in the mage tower work?
Durge's little speech in character creation paints him as a tragic figure who really doesn't want to be taken over by the psycho urges (though you could pretend he's lying).
I doubt it's a bug, Creche has only one path, unless you go full murderhobo from the beginning. You have to show the bitch the artifact regardless of what you say, all "choices" are fake. I suspect they planned to offer more paths, but scrapped them, that's why everything there feels disjointed and retarded.For example if you let Lae'zel use the machine to "heal herself", you get a choice to tell the leader of the gith there is a traitor. But when you tell her, she will say you claim to have found the artifact they are searching, despite you've never said anything about it to anyone. And you have no choice but to show her the artifact or kill her.
Yeah I got exactly that sequence of events. It was a bit disappointing. Must surely be a bug that will be ironed out - I doubt they wouldn't have taken into account that path of possibilities.
I know, I'm just glad that I don't have to play a fucking dragonborn sorc due to community retardation.It's just a Ballspawn nostalgia grab background. You could be anything as the Ballspawn in BG1 too.Glad they decided to let Durge be anything.
According to some comments I've read, supposedly drop in quality in A3 depends entirely on the order in which you do the quests. You can have nearly bugless run, or a completely bugged mess. I personally had a shitload of bugs and weird things happening, at some points it legit felt like a fever dream, with characters constantly referencing things that didn't happen etc.Finished it. Yeah, missing an extended scene with your companions and no epilogue slides are a bummer, but other than that, I do not see this crazy drop off in quality during act 3 that people were screeching about.
All in all super fun game, never thought I'd say this 2 months ago, but I'm actually satisfied with the sequel to BG2.
