But orion is kinda trying to kill us and kinda evil

The great orin tugging on your sleeve for attention, sulking

EXscUse mE

Grandmother as funny as it is when you say all that, it cracks me up on god

But, Mam, have you gone senile??

(Ngl I love it ita so funny hahaha yes she's just a pouty kid)

So I have this hat that gives me Arkin and cutey anytime I do thunder damage so what I did was equip phalar aluve and the magic missile necklace and I did a bunch of thunder dmg but… I don’t see it in the spell description or on my character I’m wondering if that kind of interaction doesn’t count or it’s something you can’t actually see how much you have

TLNR - Will there ever be a GM mode in BG3?

Story - only recently got into D&D in the real world and enjoying it, friend suggested I play BG3 as I'm a big gamer and after nearly 300 hours (rookie numbers I know) I love it.

Fast forward a couple weeks and another friend suggests I try the GM mode in DoS2 as I am enjoying being the DM in our D&D campaigns but have a few gamer friends who want to get involved but aren't close to us.

Again fast forward a little bit. Got DoS2 and created a campaign which my friends are loving. It's an absolute blast, we get together on discord once every week and play for about 4 hours. Rest of week I continue creating the campaign. We are currently just entered act 2 after 6 weeks and I've started doing the work for act 3.

The problem is, DoS2 is dated and the system it uses we are not fans of, we much prefer the BG3 combat system which feels more in line with our D&D campaign. After playing BG3, a GM mode would be insanely good.

So.. is it ever going to happen?

Hello, I recently got my brother to play BG3 for the first time since it came out. The problem? I have played countless playthroughs. Know probably 99% of everything in the 1st act. I’ve caught myself saying “talk to this person” or “go here” a lot and I know it’s not good. I have been trying to stay as quiet as possible, especially through dialogue which has now led to Astartion and Halsin dead before joining the party. I don’t mind this but the Fomo on their storylines is something I’m not used to.

Got to act 3 and suddenly halsin is creepin on me shadowheart and astarion when before he was barely around and strictly business? Idk it feels out of character for him, and out of character for the others to be into it? And he also confessed his love for me when all I did was help him in act 2. Anyone else kinda turned off by this or was I leading him on accidentally?

Been a while since I played BG3. I heard that patch 7 made some changes to the recruitment method, allowing you to knock her out and recruit while being hostile in act 1. Is that true? Just want to be certain I continue my play through.

This is my first time doing anything like this, and I still need to make props and clothes (though I have no idea how to do that)

So, all ready starting a new run. I’m late to the BG3 party, and just finished it for the first time last night - amazing game.

I wanted to avoid spoilers to I avoided this place like the plague until now and I see posts about someone named Minthara.

Name isn’t ringing a bell, so I look her up and it’s the Drow from the Goblin Camp! I just killed her and moved on after a quick conversation.

Looks like it’s time for another run to try and recruit her

We're talking optional NPCs ... not main story arc, and technically no reason to interact with them at all.

For me its Commander Lightfeather. Every time I mentally snap to attention and do a monty-python-esque salute.

I used Scare on Ch'r'ai W'wargaz for that itty bitty chance he might get feared, and my entire team got Surprised including Shovel. What happened? This is Honor Mode. :(

I never understood why Withers requires money for his support, is there any Lore to justify this?

I always thought it would be better if his payment method was soul coins, then we would have to prioritise buffing Karlach or restrictions.

We don't get a short companion, you meet him in act 1 so early on. And I genuinely like the way he talks and interacts with you throughout the game. And I like how I can relate to his less confident character to growing and learning from it. He did his best and put himself into dangerous situations that he wasn't equipped to handle because he cared more for Wulbren than his own safety. I understand at the same time it is also probably best he is not a companion because it might feel out of character too.

I'm playing an evil durge, so I wasn't gonna help the shadow cursed lands anyway, so I'm not torn up about this, but I literally beat all of the enemy waves only for this dumbass to kill himself on my spike growths carrying Thaniel lmao

Honour Mode attempt #1: died at level 3 because I didn’t realize encounters had been changed from Tactician. Surprise, there’s a second adult Owlbear!

Honour Mode attempt #2: died at level 5. Zhentarim basement. Refused to execute Rugar for his thievery, Zarys nuked my party with explosives from above, downing 3 out of 4 characters before I could act. Somehow turned it around and survived by abusing line of sight and forcing enemies to dash a bunch, then divide and conquer. Then while exploring the rest of the cave, forgot to unchain my sleight of hand (disarm) character from the party, failed a disarm on a trap on a bridge. Entire party had followed onto the bridge. Trap explodes, bridge goes boom, party falls to their deaths. Womp womp.

Honour Mode attempt #3: commenced. My wife likes to design my characters so I’m writing this as she is customizing my guardian.

I am at the "Resolve the Guildhall conflict" part of this quest. But when I go back to the Guildhall, nothing happens. No cutscene, no battle, nothing. Not even the head of the Nine-Fingers is there. When I looked up walkthroughs of this quest, they mention a cutscene happening with Roah Moonglow, the character that tries to run away during the fight with mind-controlled Minsc and "Jaheira," but I killed her during the battle because I was worried she would do something bad. Did I mess up this quest? Is this a common problem people have? Should I load an earlier save from before this? I also want to make sure I get the money back for Rakath, so is there a chance I can convince her to just give it to me in conversation? Any advice would be appreciated. :)

Update: The leader of the Nine-Fingers was far in the back corner of the Guildhall for some reason lol. I just spoke with her and the fight started right after.

Y'all ever consider what multiclasses suit the companions best? In relation to their story I mean Like an obvious one might be fighter and monk for Lae'zel. Not necessarily the most meta, hax builds just what might suit their character development throughout the game. I'm sure this has been ask before so y'all can flame me if you want but I am curious.

when the wearer dashes or takes a similar action...<-some items have this in their description. what can you do that is similar?

is there anyway to make the consumables consolidate to use less space in the hotbar?

Gyrm was whooping our asses because of a skill issue so after like 6 tries we just sat on the stairs above him and threw the heaviest things we could at him. I know he's an unfeeling npc comprised exclusively of code but I'd like to imagine he was pissed off by getting killed by some leather armor

I read up on what happens if you kill Voss and the consequences - (silver sword and what not) - but what if you knock him out? Does the game still consider that dead? Or will he still make an appearance in Act 3?

Also, don't mind the weird contrast of the image. I swear I don't play like that. lol

If I were to play Shadowheart for example, would my partner be able to talk to her and progress in her story at all?

It seems when you throw drow poison as a grenade, it always put an enemy to sleep, if they aren't undead or fey or have a specific resistance. The wiki however says there is a DC13 Constitution saving throw, but a saving throw never seems to trigger.

I cheesed the whole inquisitor fight on honour mode with it. Just give him a lil nap, kill his goons and keep up the poison to make him sleep again and again.

I'm new to the entire universe of DnD. I've always wanted to play and never have but Baldurs Gate has been flipping great. But my brain is telling me to absolutely horde everything and it's starting to become overbearing. Too many items but idk what to keep and what not to keep. Especially books. They feel important. Any tips on whats definitely trash besides, well, trash?
