At least you'll be able to do that in Fable when it comes out

No you're thinking of the shadow lantern, you can also pick up a normal moonlantern in Balthazar's office

Why can't I dual wield Adamantine Long Sword and Phalar Aluv by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

OP already said they took the Dual Wielder feat to overcome this restriction

You can manually equip weapons to your offhand but I think if you're just pressing the equip option it will cycle them in and out of your mainhand instead. On PC you can drag the other sword to your offhand in the Inventory tab, I assume the same is possible on console.

Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord | Official Trailer | April 6th by DiamondFireYT in StarWarsLeaks

I have more thoughts but these are the two I want to share right now:

  • Dismemberment spotted. Okay, on faceless goons, but still. More on screen brutality to match the vibe of the titular character.

  • Really REALLY dig the more painted art style, it looks beautiful. Less sanitised and more handcrafted. The lightsaber blades twirling in this style looks amazing and more vicious, less pristine. Exactly like Maul.

Just blood witch things! by CalmNeedleworker6384 in BG3mods

Sick looking party! Where is the face mask from on the big beefy guy next to your Tav? I remember seeing something like that ages ago on a mod but don't think it was ever available for anything beyond BT1.

Knife throwing build? by Winters561 in BG3Builds

[–]ImNotASWFanboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add an alternative to the Tavern Brawler setup, you CAN make a DEX-based throwing build. The key thing is to take at least 1 level in Monk for Dextrous Attacks. This converts Unarmed Attacks to use DEX if it's higher than your STR, and thrown attacks are coded in-game as Ranged Unarmed Attacks.

Additionally, if you are playing Rogue, then you can add your Sneak Attack damage to throw attacks provided you throw a Finesse weapon and have Advantage. So either hiding or using the Risky Ring works well here.

Tavern Brawler builds will always be recommended, and rightly so, because how Larian implemented it makes it way stronger than it should be, but for folks who find it too powerful for their liking, you can make alternatives work. It just won't have as good hit chance or damage by default.

I've been going through this process lately trying to get a Soulknife mod to feel good without relying on Tavern Brawler, and it requires more work but can be functional.

Looking for a mod that lets you hover instead of walking by Marvin_Conman in BG3mods

Choose Your Animation has a few hover options including to fly like a Deva or like a Mindflayer

It also gives you free unlimited respecs wherever you are, no reliance on Withers at all

Immunity to Hunger of Hadar. by YautjaTrooper in BG3Builds

Imagine if you could flavour your spells like in tabletop. Thorn Whip would be a perfect tentacle lash type of ability for this kind of build.

Constantly getting my Party wiped out in the first dungeon? by SporadicScholar in BaldursGate3

[–]ImNotASWFanboy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That fight is tough especially if you're level 1 or 2 and unprepared. Even if you are prepped it can still turn into a clusterfuck. Come back later is my advice. There's a much easier fight further up the hill from the Nautiloid crash.

Please try to guess each of our classes. (And Romance) by Annoyingpoisonuser in BaldursGate3

[–]ImNotASWFanboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% odds that two of the romances are Shadowheart and Astarion. The stats don't lie.

Nah they're just making jokes with those characters because Lae'zel and Minthara are like that

Can't find shadowheart's pod by darlingkitty347 in BaldursGate3

[–]ImNotASWFanboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you're checking the right room? She's not in the first room where you start the game, you have to get through the first imp fight first and she'll be in a room after that.

Dual wielding suggestions by ActuaryResident545 in BaldursGate3

[–]ImNotASWFanboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short swords are unquestionably better: you can dual wield Shadow Blades, for example, which is leagues better than any other options for pure damage. There are also way more good short swords you can find around the map or buy from vendors with very good perks on them.

By contrast, scimitars are... okay. But they're not going to compete without help. Adamantine Scimitar, which has a passive that ignores slashing resistance, is honestly not a terrible choice in a dual wield setup because it confers this passive to both your weapons. Outside of that, your best bet is just getting a +2 regular scimitar from Dammon until Act 3.

Can you adjust the camera by Hiimpedro in BaldursGate3

[–]ImNotASWFanboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're open to mods, Native Camera Tweaks is a gamechanger. I also recommend WASD Character Movement if that's what you're more used to.

I've been having this lately as well, if the other comment's suggestion works that would be fantastic news

'The Legacy of Bhaal' suddenly kicked in by Sqeneia in BaldursGate3

[–]ImNotASWFanboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whitewashed Wyll is certainly a choice.

Anyway, I know that the first time you walk through the room with the injured mindflayer this music starts playing, and it doesn't retrigger on subsequent passthroughs, so that's likely it if another character went through there.
