Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

[Darkwind]

Evil is just flat better in this game.

You also lose access to half the quests and npcs, isn't that cool.

Not to mention the worst ending by FAR. If you go full on evil Dark Urge you get basically something pretty close to a fade to black ending. No closure, no wrap up, one quick cutscene and that is it. Its very shit, and I'm glad I saved the game right before the "big" decision so I could see the alternate. They dropped the ball on that part totally.

I just seen how a single person Shadowheart dealt with Druagar ship.
Yeet Druagar.
Yeet Druagar.
Yeet Druagar.

As a monk...

Monks are pretty busted. Did some Astarion Monk and just beat up everything.

 

[Darkwind]

Shadowheart isn't even a fucking elf. These are the worst kind of Thots, the ones that don't even know the lore and just assume elf ears for the increased cosplay whore factor.

Isn't Shadowheart halfelf?

She is, now that I look it up, ears are not very prominent in game though. I'll give the Russian Thot partial credit for doing half of the 2 soyjacks pointing meme at least.

i cant believe some russian twitter hoe didnt respect the lore! the audacity of some people

Yeah Tavern Brawler feat+Open Hand monks can do some ridiculous shit when you get all unarmed boosting equipment. It's a shame though because I tried doing the Four Elements monk because it looks cool but it feels so weak.

her whole carpet-munching life.

I thought Daeran was really well handled. Being gay fits his character (I mean, you literally meet him while throwing an orgy), he hits on you and if you tell him to fuck off he's pretty gratious in his response and never bothers you again with it.

He also has an interesting backstory that doesn't revolve around him being thirsty. I mean, Gale's entire identity is that he fucked someone. ...Come to think of it, absolutely fitting for their target audience.

That's the thing with WOTR, most characters get more interesting the more you dig. The only ones I think are awful are the tranny and her dyke girlfriend, and thankfully they can eventually be butchered and you can otherwise ignore them for the most part. I would say I liked Kingmaker more, but WOTR is definitely miles ahead of BG3 in this department (and most others except the presentation one, honestly).

And get a fuckton of trigger bugs.

Is it worth keeping Dykesong in Act 3 instead of selling her to Lorroakan? If not for the fact that her death would doom everyone in the Last Light inn and locked Shadowheart on the edgy route (though i miss the best version of Dark Justiciar half plate) i would always delete her, she is so fucking annoying.

At that point it really doesn't matter. Though watching her lose her shit and sperg out at you after you sell her off is peak comedy. Bitch is completely unhinged.

"lol, bitch, i am ghey!"

Hi welcome to a monk that has STR 8, but is addicted to potion of Hill Giant Strength.

BTW Isn't Shadow monk with his ability to isolate one person out of combat and disappear after kill even more lethal?

 

[The_Mask]

I resumed my playthrough, now that I have acquired a new (and upgraded) machine, and I have to give it to Swen, he really nailed that Athkatla feel, when you wander down the streets of Faerun, you just go into a random house (as you should as an man with an Urchin background in search of adventure), and you find a dead guy with a clown pelvis on his person.

The "tanner" of the Bridge District has finally been one-upped.

Also... lol @ being able to rummage through people's mailboxes.

 

[Eisenheinrich]

Has Kamerad Grauken finished the first playthrough yet?

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Bitch is completely unhinged.

She is. And that makes for a great character, incidentally.
Too bad she was underused in the end.

 

[Reinhardt]

she looks like she has huge holes in her hlemet for pigtails on this creen.

 

[Jaedar]

I just found that you can use salami as a light club

2d4+2 (I assume the +5 is strength bonus?). Apparently hitting people with salami is better than a sword, which does a measly 1d8 damage.

I sometimes think I should play this game, but I the more I learn about it the more I feel this impulse is just wanting to watch a train wreck.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

It's 1d4 plus every possible applied bonus from external sources.
It doesn't make it any less stupid and obnoxious, but let's not make shit up, please.

Man, you must be a buzz at parties.

It seems that most helmets that dont cover neck area with cloth have this effect when worn by female NPC, like this one found in House of Grief during Act 3.

 

[Cryomancer]

This video is hilarious. Dagoth Ur playing Baluzo's Gate 3.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

nd thankfully they can eventually be butchered and you can otherwise ignore them for the most part.

I bullied the Orc girl pretty hard on my Demon playthought.

Yeah, they advertised it in 2021, you can dual wield it and so on.

 

[Raghar]

That bear companion has STR 16 right?
Wait that was early access when he was kickass. Nowadays he has: 10/14/14/8/17/12 because people would get a mental diarrhea when they would lose stats when they would respec him.
