Baldur's Gate 3

[minor sparrow]

Any froggies playing Baldur's Gate 3?

[dim oracle]

I will be!

But by the time it comes out I am gone LMAO

[minor sparrow]

Gone? You mean absent from the server or are you traveling?

[dim oracle]

I am at a festival! BUT I can no life the game next week when I am home again

[sly epoch]

[minor sparrow]

Lets gooooo

Frog discord BG3 playthrough when???

[minor sparrow]

Jk this game is NOT frog island appropriate

I didnt realize how NSFW it was

[sly epoch]

lmaooo

me and my bf has been playing together and joking about the romancing partners. Me going for vamp man and him going for flaming hot cheeto lady. He is not having good luck with her xD... That neutrual bar ain't moving. I've gotten pretty far with vamp man tho

[minor sparrow]

lol who is hot cheeto lady?

also i picked the dark urge background and low key wish i hadn't

[sly epoch]

Karlach

[dim oracle]

I will be going home soon so then I can finally download it

[minor sparrow]

oh i havn't found karlach yet. ive been trying to figure out which companions are close enough to the unhinged evil that the dark urge background wants you to be if im going to romance anyone they better be on board with me being a complete lunatic

[sly epoch]

Karlach probably won't align with that she's very kind lul. However vampire man requires all the evil options

[dim oracle]

Probably Astarion loves that the most lmao

[sly epoch]

also the lady without a nose loves it + a different silly lady :D

[minor sparrow]

Man the no nose lady is unanimously hated in my friend group 😂 she doesnt even have tsundere energy she's just angry and mean 24/7 for no reason lol

[sly epoch]

All my homies dont like her fr

[minor sparrow]

Im interested in meeting this different silly lady tho 🤔 i think i have a vague idea who u mean but im tryin to avoid major spoilies

[sly epoch]

Also hate shadowheart for being a massive dick all the fuckin time but people like her because she looks "pretty" and that got me makes me wonder if no nose lady was mega pretty if people would love her

Also here's the funni first week stats (don't think it contains spoilers but spoilers it just in case)

[minor sparrow]

Lmaoooo literally nobody playing a gith

Oh cool i can be a rotten beef jerky alien? No thank you

Super interesting stats tho tbh. If it hadn't taken my pc 3 days to download the game i might have been one of the 368 😂 most RPGs my first playthrough is a pure strength build and i railroad the main quest as much as my power level allows

[sly epoch]

I love how half elf is just the most played in both dnd and this game pfffft

Can't wait for the modding community to really have their go at this

I want me a souls like randomizer mod to really cry

[dim oracle]

Shadowheart just doesn't really interest me as a character so far

[minor sparrow]

I just want to play as a goblin so badly

[sly epoch]

sad thing about the gith though is you can actually make a pretty beautiful looking character in that race.................... if you cover up the nose area with a black box 😭
At least it's one of the only games where you can make an accurate looking Voldemort

[vague spear]

I wanna play the game if only for the customization options but it’s so biggggg

[sly epoch]

doing my first hardmode playthrough wish me luck!

[minor sparrow]

I think i might cheat a bit for hard mode playthrough and do the exploit to make 4 custom characters on one pc, if i can get it to work

Not doing hard mode for a while tho

[keen warren]

I have been looking into getting this but it seems really complicated and overwhelming, I love dnd but also this type of gameplay isn’t my fav

[sly epoch]

there's an explorer mode which has a lot milder combat and stuff :D

[keen warren]

im all for game difficulty, i like to play every game on the hardest difficulty just bc it feels more rewarding, baldurs just seems so incredibly massive i would never get anything done

[minor sparrow]

i think thats kind of the fun of it. There are so many NPCs and encounters, and different dialogue options tied to your skills/race/class/etc. so things can always work out slightly differently. imho its best to just keep going and see what happens like you would in a real dnd game and deal with the consequences. If you worry about the results of every choice you make it is less fun to me. Like i've been mildly save scumming but only because i keep misclicking or forgetting to stop my party from automatically following the guy who is trying to be stealthy etc.

[keen warren]

thats a good perspective to have, playing dnd is fun that way, i guess i have more anxiety when it comes to a dnd video game instead lol

[sly epoch]

[vague spear]

Same. You can’t quantify all the alternate possibilities irl but you can in a video game

[vague spear]

Did you hear about the patch that made everyone less horny

[fierce breach]

why are bards so fun to play, stealing stuff by talking about random bs is awesome lol

[fierce breach]

kind of curious btw, would anyone here like to play in a multiplayer party? would be fun imo

[timber rapids]

IMO it’s better for realism but let’s be real: they didn’t make all those spicy cutscenes for no reason

[vague spear]

LOL apparently it was a bug

[timber rapids]

Sad main character sounds, I was low key down for it 😂

[dim oracle]

Save

Same

[obsidian flare]

It would be perfect if we were given a toggle button for pre- and post-castration approval levels. Let us decide for ourselves how much or little of a stereotypical bard we wanna be.

[timber rapids]

The harem toggle hehehe

[vague spear]

As an asexual, amen to that

[sly epoch]

@drowsy grove when git?

[drowsy grove]

I FORGOT THIS WAS HERE

[sly epoch]

[drowsy grove]

I may be playing at the moment

[sly epoch]

yuh i mean when did you get it I see you playing it in steam

am top tier stalker (real)

[drowsy grove]

on birthday

[sly epoch]

biggest poggies

[drowsy grove]

it is very awesome

[sly epoch]

whomst shall you romance

[drowsy grove]

panicked indecision noises

no idea as of now

[sly epoch]

Gale falls in love with Tav so easily but it's so sad to reject him

[drowsy grove]

I'm not very far but it's so good

just at the ||goblin camp|| lol

at least I got all the companions

[drowsy grove]

I accidentally let astarion kill me and had to save reload

this game is awesome

happy astarion is 100% worth the bloodless

[drowsy grove]

blood loss and owl adoption, an enormously successful session

[sly epoch]

I did the same the first time

[drowsy grove]

"I like this one's approach! A little genocidal, but effective"

idk why I found that line so funny

[drowsy grove]

I accidentally started shadowheart romance but might have to delete it for funny vampire man

[sly epoch]

Remove that might, only have

[drowsy grove]

yeah I think you're right

snek warned me of the astarion romancing curse but I ignored it and now I pay the price 😔

also the owlbear and dog becoming friends is the best part of this game by so much

[sly epoch]

[drowsy grove]

only 22.5% of people have pat both at once

that is a crime

my bard can learn fireball, no stopping me now

[obsidian flare]

[sly epoch]

No matter what I do I always end up multiclassing with bard, I love dooting too much not to

[drowsy grove]

I have found so many magic items that look silly for monks

that's what I'm playing next

[sly epoch]

durge monk?

[drowsy grove]

45 hours in.. im approaching act 2 finally

need to do the creche and then I just have the pass and elevator

[sly epoch]

[drowsy grove]

i don't think I'm gonna do that one yet lol

I am mildly scared of it

[drowsy grove]

oh god the mountain pass area is so big, I'm not close to act 2 🛞

[sly epoch]

v fun much wow

[drowsy grove]

it's done

[drowsy grove]

I'm nearing the end of act 2, definitely the best part of the game so far in terms of pure spectacle

[drowsy grove]

legally required to play music with alfira every time I walk past

[drowsy grove]

I finished astarions character quest and uh wow that was amazing lol

unfortunately snek was right, the curse of romancing astarion every game looks like it's only gotten stronger 😔

[obsidian flare]

😔

[sly epoch]

It's impossible not to

I've also fallen into the hole of preferring one of his ||"versions"|| so every time I try to do one of the other I end up back at the same one.

Send help

[drowsy grove]

I'm fully planning to do an evil playthrough at some point to see the endings and stuff, but idk if I can bring myself to ||ascend|| him

[sly epoch]

that is all i am able to do

[drowsy grove]

how dare

you must help the boy

[sly epoch]

once he says "you're mine" you can never go back 😔

[drowsy grove]

TRAITOR

[obsidian flare]

Exactly 😔

I started off my first playthrough as generally netrual and goodish, but that quickly went downhill 😔

[drowsy grove]

so close to finishing (I think)

killed ||orin|| and gonna kill ||gortash|| tomorrow

finished up everything else in my quest log and filled everything I can see in the map

[sly epoch]

[drowsy grove]

finished the game, woah lol

I also got the achievement for rescuing every tiefling which is funny

[sly epoch]

first playthrough?????? holy moly

[drowsy grove]

yea

[sly epoch]

damn lucky af

sso hard to git

[drowsy grove]

credits must be played to completion, these devs are crazy

[obsidian flare]

[drowsy grove]

it's so long but they're playing all the best songs, I would listen to the credits on spotify

HUH IS THAT NIGHTSONG WITH LYRICS-

oh huh it's the power am I just losing my mind

[sly epoch]

[drowsy grove]

THERES A POST CREDIT SCENE HEHEH-

[drowsy grove]

I was 100% sure he was gonna blow up that painting or something

hehe

[drowsy grove]

WAIT

THE POWER IS THE SAME AS NIGHTSONG I THINK??

IM NOT CRAZY????

or I'm just extra crazy

[drowsy grove]

bhaal theme is awesome

I honestly found the house of healing scarier than the temple

house of healing genuinely scared me, just so unnerving

[drowsy grove]

update on favourite character since someone asked me when I started lmao
astarion is still top, his voice actor is just crazy
raphael was really awesome too, very cool antagonist
also alfira is just so wholesome so she's up there

[sly epoch]

Neil is legit like one of the best voice actors I know of 🥺

[drowsy grove]

i may have met him at an expo and got his autograph :evilkitty: he's super cool

[smoky forge]

i agree

[drowsy grove]

I finally listened to the streets and taverns separate ost and every song there is awesome, so chill

[drowsy grove]

The grand design (requiem) :_frogjam:

[drowsy grove]

I just found out ketheric's voice actor is j. jonah jameson, that is amazing

and he's frank dillman and mayor stice

ketheric was actually one of my favourite characters, very interesting villain

let me tell you a story, true soul

[drowsy grove]

the narrator outtakes on youtube are so much fun to watch

Narrator: That is some fantasy bullshit there

[drowsy grove]

Narrator: He's lucky I don't rip his face off and melt it like plasticine

Narrator: You're gonna give yourself pinkeye Gary STEP THE FUCK AWAY

[sly epoch]

she funny

[drowsy grove]

SHES IN HADES 2?!

I am perfectly sane, rapidly swapping between ketheric thorm "I'll tell you a story" monologue and narrator outtakes

and also wikipedia

and discord

and finding my cat

Narrator: If you fancy Astarion, you might want to consider therapy

immediately followed by: he's so damaged I must have him!

[sly epoch]

my kibby came

skill issue

she has eaten mouse

astarion dont like mice

[drowsy grove]

mine too, he's getting sleepy and I'm sitting near his favourite blanket

I need to do a dark urge playthrough so I can watch the narrators full one without spoiler issues

I've watched the ketheric monologue like

over half a dozen times

in the past hour

[sly epoch]

u craycray

[drowsy grove]

he's such a cool character

mmmmm I should rewatxh the 40 minute ketheric video essay instead of sleeping shouldn't i

oh it's 35 minutes

even better :D

[drowsy grove]

ill tell you a story, true soul

[sly epoch]

mac has become tier 3 Ketheric simp

[drowsy grove]

nah

still astarion simp

ketheric is just cool

[sly epoch]

where my ketheric romance mod at? 😔 /hj

[drowsy grove]

NO 😭

he's a cool villain not a romance option silly amora

[sly epoch]

I wanna romance a villain 😔

and not the boring ones we have available

[drowsy grove]

amora for the last time no romancing orin /j

[drowsy grove]

i do agree minthara is boring tbh

she's just the generic murder hobo dnd character

i killed her in the siege and haven't regretted it

[sly epoch]

I would

[drowsy grove]

seek help /j

/hj

[sly epoch]

Never as Durge tho 😔

[drowsy grove]

she tries to kill you or something right?

I saw the dark urge body on her floor and it said she really enjoyed killing it

what a silly little orin

[sly epoch]

It will all make sense once u play it :P

[drowsy grove]

I am taking a break so I don't get burnt out lol

100%ing hades first

2 achievements left one really hard and one just really annoying and rng based

[obsidian flare]

My instant reaction to kethric: ||"holy moly, you're got my full loyalty. Trying to be at least morally grey? Nu-uh. I'll be his best minion!"||

[drowsy grove]

🛞

he's so cool and has such a good backstory

[sly epoch]

truly a man of skill issue

[drowsy grove]

he's like uh

the guy from the really bad new Thor movie

but better

and without a magic sword

[sly epoch]

i did not watch it

[drowsy grove]

it's really bad don't bother lol

the villain could've been cool but he was in the wrong movie

[sly epoch]

apparently my brother i hav like no contact with liked it. All the review channels i follow said it sucked tho lol

[drowsy grove]

it just had bad cgi bad logic and too many jokes

they were inventing new stuff and changing old stuff to make the story happen like crazy

[sly epoch]

ah yes gotta love the constant marvel jokes

[drowsy grove]

works in guardians and not much else

guardians of the galaxy 3 was awesome

[sly epoch]

they really out here tryin to make every character spiderman 😔

[sly epoch]

i havent watched that either

[drowsy grove]

it's one of the few things in the new marvel phase that's worth it imo lol

moon knight is cool too and shang chi is objectively bad but fun to watch

[sly epoch]

I liked the latest spoodermans but i think that's like the extent of what i watched after endgame

[drowsy grove]

i hated no way home, had no nostalgia so it didn't work on me

[sly epoch]

well i watched s1 Loki but not too into it

[drowsy grove]

loki was fun but really weird

[sly epoch]

too much cgi for my tastes ngl

[drowsy grove]

yeah uh don't watch shang chi then 🛞

[sly epoch]

i likely won't lmao. Only thing i wanna watch from them rn is gog3 because they always make those pog

[drowsy grove]

yeah

it's really sad in a good way

still lighthearted at times but not as much, that's why a lot of people didn't like it

to be clear it's still funny it just has sad parts lol

[sly epoch]

damn the loss of the dad figure (not the dad) in 2 already got my heart broken 😔 🥺

[drowsy grove]

trueee 😔

Minor spoilers ||they don't kill any existing characters dw||

idk if you wanna click lol it depends if you mind spoilers

[sly epoch]

damn i really want to see certain ones go

[drowsy grove]

LMAO

I saw that hehe

[drowsy grove]

every single song with the mind flayer motif is so good

[obsidian flare]

[drowsy grove]

elder brain :_frogjam:

[drowsy grove]

everything in the soundtrack from The Odds are Cast Anew is so good

It'd be more but I don't like surgery of a hope at all 😔

[drowsy grove]

What the hell is this

[drowsy grove]

my dad understands gaming 🥹 we played 6.5 hours of bg3 yesterday and he thought it was 2 hours tops

[sly epoch]

Damn now you have power to use against him last time he complaints that you've lost track of time

[drowsy grove]

He doesn't really anyways, that's my mom 🛞

[sly epoch]

now he has to back you up

[drowsy grove]

yes :evilkitty:

we're almost done act 1 and he romanced astarion I'm so proud

I made it very clear to him it was a romance and he went through with it

[edgy valley]

I will probably avoid this channel cause spoilers lol

[drowsy grove]

I would very much avoid it if you have not finished the game
