do I dare...

tact without bear...

I guess Id have a bear...just not wildshape

I made druid to fight as an owlbear but just seems kind of limiting myself using actions to melee ionstead ofjust meleeing..

[twilit raft]

Tact ain't bad man

Get some heals and hp buffs or a pally and you're golden

[modest musk]

its fine

I just like having a free extra 30+hp

[twilit raft]

That's why you bring the aid spell prepped

[modest musk]

can you ahve aid at level 3

[odd ravine]

@sharp vault DOWN DOWN DOWN BY THE RIVERRRRRR

[sharp vault]

AAAAAA NOOOOOOO

I wanna replace all the musici n the game with the raphael theme

[void helm]

It's exceptional

[odd ravine]

No more dongers hanging out through clothes either

[void helm]

Glad there's a lot of fixes coming, I almost had to just leave karlach in jail because the game wouldn't let me continue in act 3 for some reason until I put her in jail again and then broke her out, again.

[odd ravine]

Rock out with your cock back in

[wild nexus]

[foggy valve]

Queen Shadowcute confirmed

[modest musk]

@foggy valve Maze a ranger ama

[foggy valve]

Melee or bowman? Subclas? Pet type?

Alignment?

[modest musk]

dw melee, beastmaster, probably have a wolf, neutral good

as go dintended

[foggy valve]

You’ll end up seeing the exact same things each playthrough

Also race?

Have you basically made Varkyrion 2.0

[plucky quail]

[void helm]

finished 1st playthrough playing an oathbreaker pali now

just actally one shotting shit is a giant diff from the sneaky rogue ranger shit i was doing lol

Feel like that "why can't I hold all these limes" meme guy passing every persuasion check and intimidating ppl into not fighting just cause my face character is the pali and not the ranger lol

[modest musk]

tiefling

[modest musk]

[sharp vault]

mfw im tempted to play again just to do the very few bits of content I missed in acts 1 and 2

and to tell gale to ||not want the crown of karsus for himself :(||

[modest musk]

what other choices do I have to make!

im not going to attack the grove with the gobbos

[foggy valve]

[modest musk]

evil choices make me feel bad

@foggy valve when r u gonna play jade empire

[foggy valve]

never

the next old game i want to play is one i cant remember the name of

but it was like a tactical control unit style game

but with orcs and dwarves and flying ships

or the aeroplane game

[modest musk]

[foggy valve]

Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge

It's a BANGER

the tactical one i was thinking of was

Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders

[modest musk]

is this the putro late summer 2023 vibe

[foggy valve]

might be

but also scared that they have NOT aged well

[modest musk]

thats always such a fun gamble wth old games lol

[foggy valve]

Eh, guys and gals, i never ever recruited Astarion during my three playthroughs, cause i never was interested in him, his class or theme.

Finally i recruited him, denied him his desires for a couple nights, but now i, straight man, started to feel weird feelings towards him. Is it in his looks? Manners? Attitude? I dont know.

And suddenly the flirting options in the dialogue have appeared.

Oh no, im going to do it.

[modest musk]

[wild nexus]

globohomo got him

[wild nexus]

@modest musk

playthrough bricked confirmed

[modest musk]

No mercy from karlach

Jesus

[wild nexus]

shadowheart better anyways

[modest musk]

Lies

[wild nexus]

[plucky quail]

@modest musk act 2

[modest musk]

[plucky quail]

You think Withers drinks bone hurting juice?

[modest musk]

exclusively

[sharp vault]

It's all but confirmed that Withers ||is Jergal right||

[winter vigil]

ye

[subtle herald]

Yeah pretty much

[wild nexus]

been having way less bugs on dx11

[sharp vault]

There's almost no scenario where vulkan is better

[modest musk]

vulkan was the only way I could do act 1 on my warlock

otherwise game would hard crash whenever I went to emerald grove

[wild nexus]

i was crashing when i wanted to use invisibility spell on vulkan

was weird

also

what happens if i get two people who want to bang the same night and accept both

does one get wasted?

or will it just happen next long rest

[sharp vault]

Luka the polygamist

[wild nexus]

its mizora

and shadowheart

gulp

[modest musk]

fucking mizora

[wild nexus]

ill do anything once

[sharp vault]

okay

durge resist run

tactician

storm sorc

bronze for lightning breath (now buffed!)

[modest musk]

i hear storm sorc is stronk

[modest musk]

tact or tact+

[sharp vault]

prolly just tact, I dont like modded difficulty

not for any rational reason it just doesnt feel legitimate to me

storm sorc is pgood but its mostly just I wanted a charisma main stat spec

and its cleric (ew), bard (did that last playthru), pally (meh) and sorcerer

sorcerer is just cool I think if everything was equally strong id be a sorcerer boye

gonna homebrew my build a bit more instead of using those reddit ones

now that I know more

[modest musk]

i dont think clerics main stat is cha

yeah homebrew is kino

[wild nexus]

cleric is wis

[modest musk]

yeah

[wild nexus]

warlock is cha

[modest musk]

warlock is CHAd

ebin blast simple too strong

[wild nexus]

treu

[modest musk]

azor is gonna go sorclock

[wild nexus]

im scaling

[modest musk]

i never bought anything in my playthrough xd

gold seems kind of uh pointless

[wild nexus]

perhaps

[sharp vault]

I swear I moused over cha and it said "improves spellcasting for bards, clerics, paladins and sorcerers"

but it was warlocks

so im just an idiot

ignore me

anyway warlock doesnt suit my vibe for this playthru

maybe a dip

[modest musk]

Go full sorf

Sorc

[wild nexus]

u can just do sorc and get magic initiate

to get ebin blast

[modest musk]

Multiclass is for noond

[wild nexus]

noond

[sharp vault]

i prolly dip wizard and maybe tempest cleric

[foggy valve]

I spent 16k on a single armor piece today

[modest musk]

holy

whichun

[foggy valve]

Baezel is bigly now

[modest musk]

@foggy valve You think I'm inting if I don't have any ranged ppl

[foggy valve]

From Blacksmith in the city

[foggy valve]

A little bit

But its ur story King

[twilit raft]

Who needs ranged when you can FLY

[wild nexus]

i need one more tadpole

then im full squidcel

gnome mind flayers are funny

[modest musk]

illiCHADS where we at

[foggy valve]

Full

[wild nexus]

what do i do about cursed skulls

if dont have remove curse

[foggy valve]

Yeaaaahhh uhh

My baezel had ketheric armor which made her unpushable

Then u can push thru with that one char

But that place is verrrry annoying

[wild nexus]

i sold the armor

https://tenor.com/view/alone-depressed-sad-windy-the-simpsons-gif-17162540

maybe i can swap out wyll for gale for the time being

[foggy valve]

Clerics can just prepare spells out of combat though

So just change shadowcute spells

[wild nexus]

idr if she learned it

[foggy valve]

Does it exist as a scroll for gale to eat

[wild nexus]

nvm we good

tbh i kinda wanna get rid of karlach

[foggy valve]

Shadowcute continues to win?

Actual carry ?

[wild nexus]

i should respec wyll into paladin/warlock

[foggy valve]

FUCK THAT VRITISH DEMON

(Dont tell Blood)

[wild nexus]

[foggy valve]

That’s just a British prisoner

Goodbye Karlach

[modest musk]

i will kill you

[foggy valve]

Today i bought the entire gang fancy beds

Sleepin on silky smooth linen

[modest musk]

how

[foggy valve]

Talked to my very good friend in || the Elfsong tavern and rented the entire top floor. Now all Camp activity is in there, and you dont have to find Camp supplies anymore AND the best best vest soundtrack plays when in Camp ||

[modest musk]

hoyl...

[wild nexus]

how do

[foggy valve]

Talk to the bartender

Might have to progrsss the || murder questline a little bit since he gives it cheaper since people are scared of murder in the building so u get cheaper ||

Go try it

Be curious if u need to do anything or u can just rip it

[wild nexus]

ive already killed || the murderer and orin ||

[foggy valve]

Go try talk to the bartender

Give them a good nights sleep…

[sharp vault]

||wait what? you dont need camp supplies? I swear I did..||

[foggy valve]

The first time you long rest there i Got a pop up notifying me the time for foraging was over and if any were needed go interact with something

[sharp vault]

huh..

[foggy valve]

I’ll find it tomorrow

Maybe its a patch 1 feature

[sharp vault]

are you on tactician?

I doubt that would be why, probably just PEBKAC

stoked bout this look..

[foggy valve]

No balanced enjoyer on first play

Okay its not a patch1 feature

[sharp vault]

you on first still?

[foggy valve]

|| First, players can find a dumbwaiter to the right of the entrance. At night, players can interact with the dumbwaiter to order a Supply Pack of 40 Camp Supplies for 64 gold. ||

[sharp vault]

okay fair

[foggy valve]

I’m running three campaigns woops

[sharp vault]

I wonder if it scales with tact since you need 80 to longrest there

oh whats the diff between em?

[foggy valve]

1, 2, 3 player

[sharp vault]

ah fair, which is furthest?

[foggy valve]

Solo

[sharp vault]

ofc

[foggy valve]

Easiest to find time

3 is gonna take like a year

We’re level 5 or 6 there

@modest musk Roll initiative https://fxtwitter.com/ameliatyler/status/1695863160245293488

[modest musk]

[wild nexus]

dex chads we up

i rolled a 47

[foggy valve]

Uh… luka you go first

[odd oar]

Think I'll start a solo run, coop can get frustrating

I think I'll just replicate my char though I like it too much

[wild nexus]

yea imma skip this cursed skull house i think @foggy valve

cant be asked with this

[wild nexus]

wait im so confused rn

the game just randomly killed || duke ravengard after i blew up the foundry, wyll is talking like he saw his father die but we havent seen him since the coronation ||

[modest musk]

i think ||blowing up the foundry immediately ends the iron throne sidequest||

[wild nexus]

thats lame

i was gonna go back and do it after

or well i was gonna ||blow up foundry - kill gortash - iron throne ||

[modest musk]

||its his personal prison killing him and then going there would be kinda silly||

[wild nexus]

how

[modest musk]

||youre supposed to go there first to free the gondians to make the foundry dismantling easier, then you end things at gortash cause his robots are dead||

[wild nexus]

ig

idk i figured id be able to go about it any way i want

i thought thats what the game was about

[modest musk]

i mean u can go about it anyway u want there just might be consequences

kind of like ||resting too oten in the underdark so the cave in victims die||

[wild nexus]

the consequence makes no sense though

like how would ||we even be aware that duke is dead at all||

prob just wasted 3 hours doin that

[modest musk]

I think u bugged something cause literally ||right after gortashs coronation mizora tells you she has important information about the duke||

did u never get the cutscene with her and wyll about his ||pact||

[wild nexus]

i did

i guess its whatever the game kinda fucked my story stuff over ill just continue as is

dont feel like going back 3 or 4 hours to fix a bug

karlach and wyll are bricked now bc of stuff that wasnt apparent 💀

[modest musk]

What'd u do to karlach

[wild nexus]

she hasnt had any dialogue with me since act 2

like before ketheric lmao

[modest musk]

Tf did you do lol

[wild nexus]

i have no clue

[modest musk]

Did you never like kill the fake pallies or something

[wild nexus]

i did

[twilit raft]

Act three has these nutty sequence issues

[twilit raft]

https://i.imgur.com/lVAtrt1.png

[wild nexus]

yeah its pretty upsetting considering the rest of the game has been so great

[sharp vault]

Is this a sequence issue? Why should you be able to save the ||Duke once you've blown up the Foundry?||

[twilit raft]

no no

|| i kill viconia and recruit minsc later. minsc goes on like "haha it was so good to see viconia" as if he was there. I kill raphael and five minutes later gael is upset we signed a contract with raphael ||

act3 has a hard time accounting for all this stuff that goes on

[wild nexus]

why wouldnt i

[sharp vault]

Well, ||Gortash uses the Duke as leverage for his deal with you to not fuck with him and his Steel Watch and fuck with Orin instead. But once you blow up his Steel Foundry he's pissed and kills off the Duke? To me that makes good logical/lore sense.||

[wild nexus]

i dont remember him mentioning the foundry at all

|| mizora said she would protect him anyways so i figured id be safe to destroy foundry. then kill him and then go to the prison||

[sharp vault]

||Even if he doesn't explicitly mention it, destroying his life's work would obvs piss him off||

[wild nexus]

|| how would he know its me though ||

[sharp vault]

||cap||

hmmge. restarting game doesnt fix

https://puu.sh/JOK8D/db706fe19c.webm

oh well only happens at night, I deal

[wild nexus]

wtf

game has the wildest glitches sometimes

[winter vigil]

I had some of my crits do that in act 3 against the shar people

[wild nexus]

eat any tadpoles yet vark

its a good life

[winter vigil]

Nope

I'm currently playing HC wow

[wild nexus]

weird

[sharp vault]

navigating the act 1 burning building

with like

no hp

and no health pots

and I cant rest because it fails the quests there

[subtle herald]

you can save the people without a lot of chaos if you go in from outside of the second floor

At least the councillor fire never triggered for me that way

[winter vigil]

my queen

[sharp vault]

man

I rly want the hag hair +1cha bonus

but its not wholesome..

unless I go FAR back.

[modest musk]

wdym

[sharp vault]

well you have to leave mayrina

if you want the hair

[modest musk]

nah you can intimidate hag

[twilit raft]

I did a class respecc and you lose the stat bonus for some reason 😦

Stupid hag

[sharp vault]

what when how'

[modest musk]

When you drop her to low hp and she offers to make the deal

You can hear her out then tell there's an intimidate option

So she leaves the girl and gives you her tasty dandruff

[sharp vault]

oh the guides dont mention this

cunts..

ok i do that

[dusky shale]

and then you betray the girl and steal her husbando

[sharp vault]

did you do evil playthru on your first @dusky shale

[dusky shale]

yesh

[sharp vault]

@modest musk https://puu.sh/JOM0c/be834d3151.png

ty sir

[modest musk]

Fuck witches

The subclass has its own dialogue?

[sharp vault]

it does

and I didnt even mean for that to happen, karlach just took the dialogue cuz she was closest

which would normally be tilting as fuck

but when its an intimidation check? based

yum yum

20cha at level 4 tho nb

[modest musk]

I love cha casters

Easy face tons of dmg

[modest musk]

Seems utterly insane to level my ranger passed 5

[wild nexus]

beast master sux

[modest musk]

it really does LOL

[wild nexus]

i think gloomstalker is the best of the three

hunter isnt bad but nothin crazy

gloomstalker assassin paired with the psyonic powers goes fucking crazy lol

[sharp vault]

fr how do people play non-cha faces

[modest musk]

Gloomstalker is just op when you go first

Apparently beast master is better than hunter

[modest musk]

R u gonna pick up 2 levels of lock for ebin blast

[sharp vault]

mby..

will need to research

certainly wizard 1

[wild nexus]

yea this paired with assassin is great

you could go thief too

for million bonus action

[wild nexus]

cha easy best stat in the game

[modest musk]

All u need is wizard 2 for agonizing blast

Er

Warlock

[wild nexus]

ermmmm

[modest musk]

Warlock 2 sorc 10

https://www.reddit.com/r/BG3Builds/comments/163u1e6/eldritch_blast_and_damage_riders/

[wild nexus]

yea theres one blue staff that gives you lightning charges for hitting with cantrips

its actually so good

you get it from that burning building quest

[sharp vault]

I grabbed the thrown spear from that quest

[wild nexus]

foolishness...

[sharp vault]

wrong

karlach now has that + speedy lightfeet (lightning charges on dash) + sparkly hands or whatever for more lightning charges

she's probably 50%+ of my group's damage

rage
throw spear
collect spear that turn
repeat

DESTROYS

[modest musk]

Karlach is my wife

[sharp vault]

I am 1 step from romancing her

I need the second infernal upgrade

I got a kiss that burned me a bit

(but worth it)

[wild nexus]

throwcels

[sharp vault]

its the best blend of cool + OP build

you can also just throw people

thematically its perfect

its just excellent

[modest musk]

It's great in act 1 with all the gobbod

[modest musk]

hope in definitive edition you can recruit minthara

[stark acorn]

huh

cant you already recruit her

[modest musk]

without only evil run

[stark acorn]

oh

[modest musk]

sorr yI didnt finish my thought

just sucks that you can only get her if you lose 5 companions

[wild nexus]

damn which 5

halsin wyll karlach

[exotic kayak]

What if you do it before you meet that companion

[modest musk]

not an option tbh

[exotic kayak]

Wdym they just won’t join u or

[dusky shale]

How you gonna recruit them when they're dead

[wild nexus]

has anyone tried running as an origin character that isnt dark urge

wonder if its good

[odd ravine]

i think the games better if there are some characters that just cant get along enough to be in your group or not

[wild nexus]

@modest musk what do u think

8warlock 4sorc

or 10/2

[modest musk]

no reason to go 4 sorc no?

10 sorc 2 lock

[wild nexus]

quickened spell and 3rd feat

[modest musk]

Yeah I'm saying go 10 sorc

And 2 lock

[wild nexus]

oh

but wyll is a warlock

[modest musk]

Just enough lock for agonizin blast

[wild nexus]

[modest musk]

Change him

He is yours to mold

[wild nexus]

dont tell vark...

[wild nexus]

[modest musk]

absolute fuckin gamer

are you in the home stretch

[wild nexus]

yea im running out of quests

finished everyones story

how long is the 4th act

[modest musk]

son...

[wild nexus]

theres no 4th act is there

welp i guess tomorrow i will || kill raphael then head to the morphic pool||

[modest musk]

if you quit right now youll never beat it and then itll never have to end..

[wild nexus]

the question is whether or not i bring wyll or gale with me to the end

bc wylls quest is over but gale ||has stuff going on in the last area||

i need to respec gale again tho

forgot haste

no scroll

wait

it will forget all my spells if i do that

why would you kill the ||dragon in the end fight you goober||

||it is psychically dominated and survives if you destroy the brain||

[winter vigil]

Fuck dragons

[twilit raft]

It deserves it

There's an achievement

[sharp vault]

i brought it to like 50 hp just to prove I could do it and then finished the fight

[modest musk]

I just immediately gunned it to the goal

warning

cursed knowledge within

using these things omega-trivializes tactician kekw

[wild nexus]

i already used half of em

unfortunate channel name

[modest musk]

@sharp vault why dont people annotate their videos

with the time stamps

[foggy valve]

wait for someone in community to do it and then steal those

d4 is an amazing channel though

he's such a nerd and its so lovely

[sharp vault]

as a minmaxer type its the one gripe I have with BG3

if you minmax even a little and grab a character with just one of these really good things

tactician is just.. really easy

like, "am I actually on tactician or is it bugged" easy

like astarion-thief rogue/ranger-dualcrossbow is just

stupid broken

and it doesnt require much to set up (besides the hand crossbows which can be a lil tough to get)

[foggy valve]

dual xbow is nerfed now

so properly get -5 on offhand

still good i guess but not broken

so probably a lot of those really broken things get patched as time goes on

[modest musk]

@sharp vault you might like that pathfinder game then

[foggy valve]

DOS2 got a lot of patches after release fixing probably every complaint

[modest musk]

I hear it's really complex and and it can spiral out of contorl if you dont build well

[foggy valve]

Pathfinder

Yeah

[sharp vault]

yeah I've heard things

[foggy valve]

It's a biiiig timesink

but v good

[sharp vault]

I cant commit to another timesink but I would like something to keep me occupied for a few days b4 starfield

[modest musk]

I think a lot of problems I have with like turn bsed difficulty games is that it's really hard in the beginning of hte game but midgame - lategame smooths out cause you just get too strong

[foggy valve]

yeah uh wrath of the righteous probably isn't it then since starfield is what

in 2 days?

3 days i guess, 1st september preload right

[sharp vault]

yee

[modest musk]

@foggy valve if you made a azeroth crpg what would the party members be

[foggy valve]

hmm

probably go to like the first war?

orcs have just arrived kinda deal?

and you can play as characters on either side

[modest musk]

i was thinkin some sort of disaster that makes u work together

[foggy valve]

the thing with like warcraft lore, i dont feel theres a good pocket of time where you can carve out something

else it would bel ike 50 years from now in WoW and you go from there

but then future wow xpacs might mess with it

[modest musk]

yeah, unless you do weird au stuff

or really low stakes things happening all over the world, but the game itself doesnt really lend it to that

[plucky quail]

chromie, logosh, chen stormstout and maraad

[wild nexus]

wholesomelander

[foggy valve]

in non-(active)video game franchises it's easier because you just force everyone to adapt to the story (and you enforce the lore upon the developer ofc with strict guidelines)

and well... D&D has like 10923012381283 pages of lore with drawings of every single creature

so it's not like they can be super creative there

a mind flayer looks like that, no way about it

the gods do x y z, have this purpose, hate this other god

[modest musk]

speaking of dnd does anyone know how much 1 dnd is changing

[wild nexus]

its like 5.5

[foggy valve]

warcraft lore is just constantly retconned for every lore book

[wild nexus]

more so than a new edition

[foggy valve]

whats with the idea of going back down 1

same with xbone

[wild nexus]

mortal kombat 1

battlefield 1

[foggy valve]

but yeah what i heard is 5.5, it's more about tweaking 5e than making 6e

[modest musk]

are they calling it 5.5e or eh

[wild nexus]

i think the idea with one dnd was a forever edition

thats pretty much what it is

[foggy valve]

No still One D&D

[modest musk]

forever edition wdym

[foggy valve]

but the playtests for stuff is over and experimental phase is over

so i think it's locked in

launching in 2024 or smth

[modest musk]

u guys wanan go to the local game store and pick up some phbs

[wild nexus]

i have one

[foggy valve]

It just seems like they do the same as Larian on character creation

[modest musk]

of 5.5?

[foggy valve]

so all races have floating scores

[wild nexus]

oh those arent out til late

[modest musk]

floating score sare based

lets you be more flexible with chargen

[foggy valve]

so it's basically 5e PHB + Tashas

just turned into 1

oh and no more half races apparently

[modest musk]

🤨

[foggy valve]

no more rape lore ....

[modest musk]

but I love half elves

hows that work

[wild nexus]

half races are offensive doolb

apparently

[foggy valve]

The playtest also does away with ‘half’ races, like the half-elf or half-orc, focusing on clearer identities for the core handbook. More races now have the option of going either Medium or Small, allowing for more customisation.

[twilit raft]

0,5% tactician completions. Players be bad?

[modest musk]

saying half-orcs are almost always the product of assault is gross

that can be removed

but just half removal in general seems just weird

cause there's nice story potential from like half elves not fitting in with anyone

[foggy valve]

but if that's in final edition or just in a playtest who knows

[wild nexus]

its dnd tho u could just house rule it if u wanted

[foggy valve]

ye with floating scores just houserule it

[foggy valve]

In addition, the game no longer has species like half-elf and half-orc. Instead, One D&D gives guidance for players to hybridize any two species. Species no longer give ability score improvements. Most have some form of active ability for players to use. Subraces are now referred to as Lineages and have fewer effects.

so there should be guidelines on hybridizing

also they're not called races but species now

[modest musk]

can I be a half tiefling

[foggy valve]

hmm they're remaking crits

[twilit raft]

How

[foggy valve]

A classic part of D&D is what happens when players roll a natural 1 or natural 20. In One D&D, these have been termed critical failures and critical successes, respectively, and ensure success or failure regardless of the task's difficulty. More recently, critical failures also grant characters a point of inspiration.

Critical hits in combat have changed considerably over One D&D's lifespan. Early documents had NPCs unable to deal critical hits. In addition, they only doubled weapon damage, rather than spells or features like Sneak Attack. Later playtests have reverted the rules around critical hits to better-resemble D&D 5e.

wont know till phb lands i guess

@modest musk has offered to DM a campaign for bg3 enjoyers in here

we will meet once a week to play One D&D

[modest musk]

the cmapaign is there is an evil church

and youhave to stop them

[foggy valve]

me and luka join the evil church as faithful servants

[wild nexus]

is it the catholic church

[foggy valve]

[modest musk]

it's evil generic fantasy church

[wild nexus]

i wanna be a gnome mind flayer

thats the life

[foggy valve]

looking good there luka

cute lil blaster

[modest musk]

bald

[wild nexus]

minor illusion a toupet on my head

[modest musk]

i wonder if bg3 will make githyanki more popular

[foggy valve]

they're the least played race iirc

maybe as time goes on

[wild nexus]

they were only there bc mind flayers and gith have lore

[modest musk]

i figured halflings / dwarves /gnomes always giga least played

[foggy valve]

but meeting baezel early on guarantees a githyanki in party so why play

same reason cleric has like lowest playrate i think

not fighter because Varkyrion exists

[wild nexus]

i think the entire gith race were enthralled at some point

[foggy valve]

white human male fighter like god intended

[foggy valve]

no way!!!

Hidden lore

[wild nexus]

white male fighter is the canon protag for bg1/2 no?

[foggy valve]

well uh

not exactly hooman

[wild nexus]

bhaalspawn

yea

[modest musk]

is the pc always bhaalspawn?

in bg

[wild nexus]

yea

believe so

[foggy valve]

ye

the old games are like..

diablo style

one set story

few choices that have consequence but nothing major

[wild nexus]

sarevok

[modest musk]

FUCK bhaal

[foggy valve]

but ye Gorion's Ward is the character played in bg1/bg2 and your story ispretty locked in

[modest musk]

this is a lolth server

[twilit raft]

Correct

[wild nexus]

lmaoth

[twilit raft]

There's a baldurs gate book

It's kinda shit

[foggy valve]

hate lolth simple as

[twilit raft]

Sets the white male fighter as archetype

[foggy valve]

seldarine gang ww@

[twilit raft]

Mask gang

Lil funny gnome god

[foggy valve]

weakass god though

not one of the greats

[cobalt talon]

[twilit raft]

I think in the book he sexes his little sister

[modest musk]

Fighter SUCKS

[wild nexus]

fucks*

[twilit raft]

Alpha Chad half orc fighter with -200 charisma

Product of RAPE

[wild nexus]

still not sure why cha is used for intimidation

[sharp vault]

the amount of completions altogether is low

and its not really the kind of game that makes sense to play on tactician imo

[wild nexus]

game is phat

[sharp vault]

I did it because im braindamaged

[twilit raft]

Nahhh

Ur cute

[sharp vault]

[twilit raft]

What changes from mid difficulty to tactician again?

[sharp vault]

+30% health to enemies
+2 to all enemy attack rolls
More environmental hazards

Also smarter AI

Better at going for low AC etc

[twilit raft]

I see

[foggy valve]

and double cost of long rest

[sharp vault]

oh ye that

[foggy valve]

dont think anything else

[twilit raft]

Yeah okay that's a minor one

[sharp vault]

doesnt make the biggest difference, I spent some more gold on camp supplies overall I guess

[foggy valve]

picking up all supplies ur chillin anyways

[modest musk]

i feel like tact probably falls off in difficulty level 8 or even 5 idk

[sharp vault]

but +30% health is a lot, enemies get so many more turns

[modest musk]

I will say tho

[foggy valve]

5 powerspike

[twilit raft]

There's a critical mass point with double fighter type actions

Same lvl mages get haste

[foggy valve]

level 5

[twilit raft]

It's the whack em to death moment

[sharp vault]

im level 4 and the phase spider on tact is kinda.. hard.

[modest musk]

are you dropping her?

[sharp vault]

ofc not..

thats unethical..

[modest musk]

its the intended strat...

thats why the webs are there

[sharp vault]

oh you mean that

I thought you meant

[modest musk]

so u drop her and she takes 30dmg and goes prone for a turn

[sharp vault]

thunderwave her to zimbabwe

[modest musk]

ya

oh no

i do not support unethical chasm deaths for bosses

[twilit raft]

Kek

[foggy valve]

unethical summons to occupy bosses while you rain down death

[twilit raft]

Yeet is cheat

[sharp vault]

okay I was not aware that was the strat I was just facetanking her

[foggy valve]

a lil IGNIS on the webs

[sharp vault]

igNIS

[twilit raft]

Summon weapon occupies spooder

Spooder can't damage the summon

[foggy valve]

more like igMISS

[modest musk]

if you want to cheese you can ||sneak around and break all the eggs before pull||

[twilit raft]

Tacticiancels baffled

[sharp vault]

spiritual weapon is good but kinda lame

so little movement

such lame damage

[modest musk]

didnt they nerf spirit weapon so bosses target it less

[twilit raft]

It's perfect until you barf devas

[twilit raft]

Patch 1?

[modest musk]

ya

[sharp vault]

[twilit raft]

Chk! What the fuck did you just fucking say you little istyk? I'll have you know l graduated top of my creche and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on the ghaik and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in Githyankl and I'm the top fighter in the entire Astral Plane. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with psionics the likes of which have never been seen before in this realm, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me through our tadpole link? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across Faerun and your camp is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, ska'keth. The storm that wipes the pathetic little thing you call your party. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you with over seven hundred extra attacks, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed strikes, but I have access to the entire catalogue of both simple and martial weapons and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the Sword Coast, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retributions your little "clever" suggestion was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you, didn't, and now you're paying the price you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, ghaik.

[modest musk]

holy sh it immediate star

@tawdry glacier in my new run laezel was like "hey. you smell good. we shoul dfuck"

do I do it

[tawdry glacier]

yeah

[sharp vault]

at the end I think it should say "Kithyank" isnt that like a slur for normies?

[sharp vault]

she did that to me after doing essentially nothing

like

I put her in camp immediately, brought her out for the meeting at the bridge

[stark acorn]

i thought istyk was a slur for non gith

[sharp vault]

and then she wanted to fuck

I said hell nah

karlach is my girl this playthrough

okay she just says "kithyank" to shadowheart when she gets uppity in the nautiloid before the final battle there

in that kind of tone

didnt have my gith dictionary with me :(

[stark acorn]

honestly probably like half the words in gith are slurs lol

[modest musk]

no, karlach is my wife, sorry

[wild nexus]

karlach told me she loves me

[sharp vault]

proof that everyone is lovable.

[wild nexus]

[twilit raft]

[twilit raft]

There's already a mod for haarlep so the servant literally has Raphaels face

[foggy valve]

Yeah so if you || disguise self and talk you can get some dirty secrets that you can then use to make raphael mad ||

[sharp vault]

doolb is like "hell yeah baezel wants me"

Every time I knocked an NPC out the game just flagged them as dead

It was very annoying

[wild nexus]

u can only knock them out with melee

[winter vigil]

no like I'd knock them out

they'd have the status

but then everyone would be like

THEY'RE DEAD WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

YOU KILLED HIM WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[wild nexus]

oh

[tawdry glacier]

oh well too bad for them

[winter vigil]

Because they ||think you're just mindlessly attacking them and trying to overthrow the ogvernmen what do you mean||

[wild nexus]

Speedrunning sex in 2 minutes is impressive? I've been doing that for years

Way better PB too

[winter vigil]

You're not a real man unless you've 1 pumped

[modest musk]

So no matter what you end up hitler

[modest musk]

[tawdry glacier]

playable hitler when

[wild nexus]
