Also, them's the "bad druids". There is a conspiracy among the druids you can resolve, and the "good druids" win.
How long have you been on codex? You should know that the morons who complain the most about games mostly don't play them.
This is true of both the far left and the far right.

"Oh no! How dare people use slurs against my super special tiefling character! I demand to always be treated with respect both in game and in the real world!" LMAO! Part of the fun with TTRPG's is dealing with fantasy racism. No shit are people that are isolated from each other going to have their prejudices. What makes it fun, at least for me, is overcoming those prejudices and developing camaraderie with your party who are of all different races in order to accomplish a goal. Like Gimli and Legolas in Lord of the Rings. Respect is earned after all, not given. But we can't have that anymore. Fantasy worlds must reflect modern day Los Angles and everyone who isn't a straight white man is to be treated with kid gloves.

Also, that tweet has 21k likes. I hate social media.

Early-mid chapter 3. It's a very strange scene even if you don't bang

Never got it despite being pro illithid.

They might be checking your PC's gayness variables behind the scenes.

For me, it happened right after I looted xir's former apartment, so it sort of felt okay. Reliving nostalgia, eeeeh when I used to be a living being with a body, those were the dayssss maaaaaan, and then we each go out ways. Should've been passing a beer bottle, and it would be right. Except, you know, illithid.
Honestly that guy should've remained in the guardian form and only kept showing his true self if the player asks.

Also, what's the verdict? Is xe the Balduran adventurer, or is he the illithid tadpole trying to humanize itself?


Never got it despite being pro illithid.
Most story progression happens at night in the camp. If you don't long rest ~10 times per chapter or something, you might not trigger some stuff.

I sincerely doubt it, I'm female, haven't romanced anyone and I've antagonized that motherfucker every chance I got. The railroading at the end of Chap 2 was the game's most annoying part for me as a result, and another reason that scene was weird.

Yea, let's just write good script lmao it's so easy why didnt Swen think about it, is he stupid?
Chris Avellone is available. It really is that easy.
Except it's not. Avellone's masterpiece is a commercial dud and only enjoyable and cherished in spite of the game being hot garbage to play.
What has MCA written recently that actually had good gameplay attached to it ?

I figured that out, and had several event-free rests before starting the finale.
everytime something of significance happens in the story I take 2-3 supply free rests. That's pretty much how to trigger everything without fucking it up. Durge also has more stuff going on incamp so it's really easy to skip shit.

I did get all the Durge events, I just missed the most iconic BG3 one it seems.

take back the hitler ratings please I am black I get to say it
Being a redguard doesn't excuse you from discriminating against the low level races. Our low level brothers and sisters have as much right to post in the thread as us.
