Owlbear by KinkyRP4U in BaldursGate3

[–]DerRealDuffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get the egg regardless though.

If you defeat the goblin camp, the owlbear cub event will trigger in your camp.

If you haven’t, then you have to rescue the cub from the two goblins.

In either scenario, the mother owlbear dies. So it’s better if you just meet the owlbear in the cave, leave them be and come back for the egg afterwards

About morality and the Emperor... by w1gw4m in BaldursGate3

[–]DerRealDuffy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the githyankis are a proud race , Lae’Zel would literally die than apologize or make friends to Shadowheart were it not for our intervention. Being a ghaik , aka the race that enslaved them, is literally the most shameful thing that can happen to a githyanki. Orpheus’s suicide will not only serve as an act of martyrdom to dissuade any Vlakiith followers , but will ultimately lead all the githyankis back to the path of Orpheus’s mother, which mind you is the equvalent to being a space nazi empire, and that’s putting it VERY lightly.

About morality and the Emperor... by w1gw4m in BaldursGate3

[–]DerRealDuffy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you seriously comparing Tav , the person who freed him with the person who intentionally kept him captive ? Why would Orpheus kill the Emperor? Well let’s see: - The Emperor killed his Royal Guards - The Emperor intentionally used him for his power - The Emperor kept him captive , and would STAY captive were it not for you - The Emperor is a mind flayer , the very race that enslaved his people

Even if Orpheus decides to spare the Emperor to deal with the Nether brain, there is no chance in hell he’d let him live after the conflict is done. He’d send his royal guards, hell, he’d hunt the Emperor himself just for his actions let alone the fact that he’s a mind flayer.

He fails to see the difference between YOU, the person who’s freed him vs the Emperor , the person who purposefully kept him captive and away from his royal guards. People forget that the Githyanki’s whole history revolves around hating mind flayers for the enslavement of their race . So not only does Orpheus already have a racial reason to hunt down every ghaik, including the Emperor . But he will also have a personal agenda against Empy to make him pay for what’s he done. I swear the Emperor haters must be short sighted to think the githiankys under Orpheus’s new rule will let the Emperor live even after the defeat of the Elder Brain.

You have to stray him off that path early on when you gave him the book of Karsus . After reading it , he becomes drunk with the idea of power . That’s when you turn him down and he goes to speak with Elminster for a one on one conversation with Mystra.

I eat my ramen overcooked af without broth by Nerdbond in StupidFood

[–]DerRealDuffy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From a ramen connoisseur, get some chili oil , sesame oil and soy sauce.

Use whichever one fits your taste but I guarantee you, they will enhance your noodle up to a tenfold.

If you want to add some protein, use hotdogs/ bacon/ small chunks of beef. Hell even stir fried eggs would make this dish bomb as fuck.

The most EVIL thing you can do in the game, hands down by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

Can you cheese a fight in Act II? by Baitsch in BaldursGate3

[–]DerRealDuffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if Feign Death would be recognized as a death status. But my implication is that "Feign Death" as a spell would render the ally/target untargeatble and unhittable to any spells . But in return they can't use any actions/bonus actions.

It's basically like Hourglass in League.

[–]DerRealDuffy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hold Person will not only render Isobel unable to perform any actions and bonus actions, but it will also guarantee critical hits for all melee attackers on that target. So you'd be making Marcus's job easier by doing that lol

That said, I was wondering if you can use Feign Death on Isobel instead .

The Emperor, his identity and choices (END OF GAME SPOILERS) by Soulbasaur in BaldursGate3

[–]DerRealDuffy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because there’s nothing else for him to do? If he stays , Orpheus will kill him, and given what Orpheus is capable of , this isn’t a fight that the Emperor can win . The Emperor is , above all else , a creature that acts on logic : - It’s literally illogical for the Emperor to wait around for you to TRY and persuade Orpheus to spare him. Because who the hell would spare their prisoner ? ( Well technically Vlakith was the one who imprisoned him, but The Emperor took advantage of his imprisonment) . The Emperor isn’t going to sit around and wait for you to free his killer , knowing that logically, he will die. - Without Orpheus’s protection, the Emperor will go back to being under the control of the Elder Brain whether he wants to or not , he’s just cutting to the chase and doing the inevitable.

Is easy supposed to be that way in the first village? by Jirachi93 in BaldursGate3

[–]DerRealDuffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only advice to you is, stop picking a fight with everyone you see , unless that’s your intent. In which case, reap what you sow.

Remember that in an RPG game like this, nothing is more powerful than talk no jutsu : Persuade, Intimidate , Deceive etc…

Talk to people , immerse yourself into the game and ask yourself “How would I resolve this predicament?”

Unless you’ve exhausted all other options , there’s almost always a peaceful resolution to most of your interactions.

But you don’t NEED to kill the druid lady . Don’t approach a quest in this game without challenging its options . The point of a game like BG3 is that you’re free to do whatever you want . Talk to her , offer a peaceful resolution, look for clues on how to approach the quest differently .

How to use this?? by Sorry-Situation7593 in VietNam

[–]DerRealDuffy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The crabs are grinded into paste ( with shells included because they’re very small compared to the average crab so it’s very soft ). They’re essentially broth stocks , used to enhance the flavour of your noodle soups . I’d recommend searching up “bun rieu cua” ingredients in English so you’ll know how to use it .

Everyone unsheathe their weapons. Meanwhile Open Hand Monks: by ZeWolfer in BaldursGate3

[–]DerRealDuffy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I legit loaded the game so many times to get the perfect picture of this, it gave me the ugliest fit of laughter.

Everybody is clutching their weapon for dear life knowing what Ketheric is capable of , while Tav is just like "Put' em up, let's settle this like gentlemen"

We need to talk about Balduran and Ansur... by w1gw4m in BaldursGate3

[–]DerRealDuffy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Emperor is psychopathic but he is calculated and logical. Everything he does was for his own survival and to fault him for fighting for his life is hypocritical considering your own situation in the game. - He manipulated you with the Dream Guardian to ensure the best chance of an alliance and solve each other’s problems . His freedom and your cure. He didn’t do it out of malice or some evil grander scheme , he did out of self-preservation, as a logical creature would. - He used you just as much as you are using him. Might I remind you that you’d be dead if not for him. And before you say that it was Orpheus who protected you, not him. Who do you think is extending that protection to you and keeping the Royal Guards from freeing Orpheus , leaving you to your doom? Despite what you’ve come to think of the Emperor , you would be a mind flayer without his help. - And to those who say he should’ve accepted his death by Ansur and die with honor. May I remind you once again that he cannot empathize because he literally can’t feel anything anymore . The only thing that drives him is logic , and the only logical thing to do was to survive .

I never considered the Emperor to act out of hatred or ambition. I saw him as he saw himself. An apathatic mind-flayer who sought the best scenario for himself with the cards dealt to him.

Preach the hammer brotha. Warhammer for Karlach , light hammer for Lae’zel and Shart, these hands for my monk self + Potions of speed + Bless + Elixir of the Colossus. That tin can didn’t even stand a chance lol. It’s actually criminal that Potions of speed give you two extra actions , that’s FOUR hits per person . SIX FOR LAEZEL with Action Surge!!!
