You thought it was Astarion, but it is I, Dio.

Woke up this morning and hopped on the couch to play.

Every. Save. Deleted.

The glitch usually just hit the last play session, this time it made the game seem like it was a fresh install on my Xbox. My wifes saves are still there on her guest account. I am pretty gutted, but my buddy ended up buying it for me on PC so I guess I am just going to play on Steam Deck and hope I can use the cross save system later.
 
Started playing on PC, finally a game I feel justified on splurging on a 3080 two years ago.

From the first three hours it's fun. Playing on hard, I'm playing as a warlock and it's pretty fun class that allows you a lot of options and doesn't limit you in rests. So far I settled on a party with Shadowheart, Gale and Astarion, but I'm thinking on swapping Gale for more melee focus (though so far I have more issues with range units). There's a lot of jank and the usual issue of starting an encounter a caster and immediately dying by all the enemies targeting my player character due to being in the front line.

No politics or too much sex stuff besides the weird shit about the default have man being a sheboon.
 
Saw a thing on tumblr where they asked "Which BG3 guy would you be dating in real life if they existed" and after looking over the list of names and putting some realistic thought into it, I've decided I would be sitting here waiting for Lucretious to put that clown back together.
Not sure what this says about me, tbh.
 
I'm doing an all barbarian run on Tactician. I have my PC and Shart (wolfheart for irony) as the font liners, Gale as an eagleheart with that hammer that creates an aoe thunder damage when you jump, and Astarion as throwserker. I might change my PC to tigerheart since we already have a berserker and we have BOOAL's benediction. Later on I'm planning to use Halsin, Jahiera, and Minsc. Any other interesting barbarian builds I should use for those characters?
 
I stopped my Paladin Lae'zel run short due all gay. Now that I have the no alphabets mod installed, I've restarted the run and gone honor mode.

Plan is to walk the path of righteousness despite all conflicts with Lae'zel's character concept, all the way until the end. In addition, the tadpoles will be refused in addition to all other temptations like Astarion's ascension.

No gods. No monsters. Just Lae'zel, a scrawny Paladin in full plate armot swinging a huge Silver Sword around like it's nothing.
 
FYI, if your Honor Mode goes terribly awry, like this:


Here's the fix:

Ctrl-Alt-Del, bring up Task Manager, click bg3 and End Task.

This will close the window and nothing will be saved. You can then open the game again and resume your last save as if the game crashed and no progress will be lost.
 
I'm playing Warlock and finally reached level 4, so far seems to settled to frog lady, demon mommy, and gay vamp. I tried to use Gale but, but god damn Wizards are weak in the early game, especially as I don't want to overuse long rests to recharge spells. Probably will swap frog lady for Shadowheart since she can tank and support better.

I understood there is a point of no return in the Goblin vs. Druid plot, is it safe to kill everything in the Plague Town?
 
Okay turned down the difficulty to balanced. Hard mode isn't really fun, especially if you want to try different shit without knowing if you screw yourself over, or flip through party members. Though I expect that eventually the game will be easy due to getting too many toys, spell slots and just long resting whenever I want.

My main issue is that the HP and ability bloat of enemies is insane. Goblins shouldn't have equal health to humans, and enemies virtually never miss unless you really stack debuffs.

Starting on Balanced is definitely a smart idea if you’re new to everything. There’s a lot you can learn.

Remember that you don’t have to take on every fight head-on. You want to think multiple turns ahead and strategize. Split up your party and have some attack from high ground. Get in a conversation with a potential enemy and have another character run before them and just hit them with a strong attack. Keep enemies at a distance and throw them at other enemies if they got too close. Push them over. Throw a bottle of grease in the middle of them so they slip and fall, and then set the grease on fire when they’re almost dead, ect. This game vastly lets you think outside the box.

I beat a spider mini-boss with one character simply by splitting from the party and leaving them hidden way in the back, sneaking behind a rock just out the spider’s sight range, coming out of hiding, sniping it with an arrow, and then bidding again before ending my turn. I was outside of its vision come, so it never actively saw me and just ran back and forth on the bridge with no idea what to do.
