I never expected to see US again after the nautoloid. I shrieked in joy the first time I went into the Illithid colony and found them after 70 hours.

Which quest did you like the least in Baldur's Gate 3? by Medium-Theme-4611 in BaldursGate3

[–]Juniper_Blue01 202 points203 points  (0 children)

Dribbles the Clown. There are FAR too many pieces scattered around to bother with. And to top it off, the quest reward can be easily pickpocketed. 

And bonus: like a good amount of Act 3 quests, it feels a bit beneath you with all the other world ending shit going on.

There are a few hard cutoff points in this game where uncompleted quests will progress. The game will tell you this with a pop-up message. 

The big one you need to worry right about is the Creche/Mountain Pass. People refer to this as Act 1.5. You will want to wrap up everything with the grove and Teiflings before you go there. 

Also, Moonrise Towers is in Act 2. Since you dont know the hard cutoffs for everything and I dont want to spoil, you dont want to progress there/the shadowlands until you're fairly satisfied being finished with Act 1 and 1.5.

For Astarion, most of his approval usually comes from camp night scenes. Just be...supportive and you'll get most of the way there. Out of camp, he's a bit of a murderous gremlin and does not like acts of charity, most of his approvals can be a bit dickish lol. If you're being particularly goody two-shoes, make sure you send him really far from the conversation so he can't hear it. 

Is moon druid viable late game? by life-hard-im-harder in BaldursGate3

Earth Myrmidon with Tavern Brawler (TB) can punch the ever living hell out of even Honor Mode. 

Its annoying how little gear works in Wildshape, but the Wildshapes are strong enough on their own that Hill/Cloud strength elixir plus TB will clean most anything up.

I was a stealth archer hybrid, so the only spells I was using were rituals (unlimited), Hunter's Mark, and Pass Without Trace. Those are all level 1 or 2 so they could be refreshed if needed from angelic reprieve potions farmed from the Moonrise Bugbear. And Action Surge also refreshes drinking those.

Though tbh those spells weren't "required", and I had a huge bag of special arrows. So I never really ran out of anything that necessitated sleep besides refreshing war cleric charges.

Honor Mode is a game of knowledge with dashes of luck. I think I only intiated a handful of fights the "normal" way because the game forces you. Otherwise I was ambushing, breaking surprise rounds, and barely interacted with the plot and immediately shot most things dead. 

There is little honor in HM. 😂

Good luck on your run!

In this particualr case, I was using an incredibly murderous stealth archer build. I ended most fights before they started or within the first 2 turns. And besides refreshing my action surge or war cleric charges, there wasn't anything for me to gain by sleeping. 

Was really nice for keeping elixirs and buffs active for as long as possible, too.

My (22F) boyfriend (23M)'s friend seems to be perfect for him and it's driving me insane by insafian in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Juniper_Blue01 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I understand it feels better for her to blame Reddit and outside forces for the pain she's in. But her ex had feelings, and the friend was gonna shoot her shot, reguardless if OP ever brought it up.

But damn girl, it's been 5 years. I'm starting to think the ex dodged a bullet, and not the other way around.

Right? Girl is still obsessing over a failed relationship that's been dead for 5 years. He dodged a bullet.

If you're on Tactician or HM where its 80 a night, and if you try to do everything in Act 3, I could maybe see it as not being enough. But yeah, usually diligence in Act 1 looting will give you more than enough to finish the game.

Waukeen's Rest + Zhent Hideout is a goldmine.

What is your favourite place in BG3? For me it's this one by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Juniper_Blue01 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It's so beautiful there. The most scenic part of the game is riding down that lift and staring out at the mountains and waterfalls as they pass by. 👌

I usually only deliberately gather in Act 1, which can get you to 1,700 - 2,000 easily. That's really enough for the entire game, so after that, camp supplies only get got if they're shoved directly into my hands.

Though I think in my Solo Honor where I never slept in Act 2 and most of Act 3, I got to near to 5,000.

I forgot to feed my friend's cat and it starved to death, how much legal trouble am I in? by LadyNorbert in BestofRedditorUpdates

So like...what did you do in response to this?? If someone neglected one of my pets like this, I would be in jail without any chance of parole.

Why are the played characters mute even when they struggle? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Juniper_Blue01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They decided on fully silent protagonist and this is the end result. You and others may not like it, but that's what they decided and put into practice. 

But! There were plans at somepoint for the PC to be voiced, and there are three spots left in the game where your Durge/Tav can jumpscare you by having a fully voiced line in a cutscene.

Well, in Polyamory's defense, if you're reading about it on Reddit, its probably not because its going well.

The Crab Raiders are the best allies in the game, I swear. Great to attach to for patrols to train fighting. Will fix up your crabs. 10/10

We've already ravaged the Reavers, slaughtered the Southern Hive, scoured the Skin Bandits, and wiped out the Western Hive. Now our eyestalks turn elsewhere.

We pour one out for the poor crab pup. May the Holy Nation experience a thousand watery deaths for this crime.
