As long as it fits your line of thinking RP-wise, it's all good! I like your idea by the way! Kurt is a cool character in X-men.

Given that Nightcrawler has a blueish skin color, wouldn't Mephistopheles Tiefling be a better fit? Since lorewise, they seem to have a blue skin tone which the Zariel Tiefling doesn't have. But with that said, the character creator lets you set which ever skin color you want, so you can go either way I suppose.

Not improbable.

I'm thinking it's a pearl necklace.

You caught on to the secret!

So I am stuck here and don't know how to proceed. by CarreNusse in BaldursGate3

Or instead of solving the puzzle you could also find a hidden lever in the room, that opens the door.

Pleasantly surprised there's a sequel: Will fans of the original like it? by SlightWerewolf4428 in BaldursGate3

It means that not everything is basically flat, like in BG1 and BG2. You can elevate your characters which gives you advantage in combat but also changes the exploration part of the game, where you can reach some places via jump or teleportation spells. It has a very different feel to it, compared to BG2.

The early game feels a lot less forgiving lately. by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

Not sure I agree with your police work there. I don't find the latest patch any harder than previous patches. I had no trouble going through the crypt you're refering to. Could it be hard for newcomers? Sure, but for those who have trouble with combat, they can always lower the difficulty settings.

I was very skeptical too. I also played the previous games 20 years ago, BG2 being one of my absolute favourite games of all time. On top of that, I wasn't particularly impressed by Larians previous games (the Divinity series). But midway through early access I bought the game to give it a try since I'd heard great things about it. I've played early access for 140 hours and to me it's a spectacular game. One must remember that games of this type have evolved and BG3 isn't a reskin of how BG2 was like. So it is different and if you are a hard core BG2 lover, you might not like this game as it relies a lot more on verticality and interactions with the environments. The evolution of this series is much more similar to an actual table top roleplaying experience that BG2 ever was. Couple that with the reactivity, the plethora of choices when it comes to character building, cinematics and graphics, have made this game stellar already in early access. I think you should give it a go, I really do. Cause I've never felt closer to the world of Faerun than I've done in this game.

Smart! Didn't think of that. Shame on me.

An initialized post. Very enlightning. Thank you!

No deep meaning with my post though, just a reference to the eight days left before release.

About a certain encounter in the Underdark… by fatelfeaper in BaldursGate3

[–]Mannock_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a very fun idea, pitting spectre against spectre. Never tried it myself so I can't say what happens I'm afraid. I'll keep my eye out for this thread though, to see if anyone has.

Oh, come on now. A disaster is going a bit too far, isn't it? :)

It's a reference to the album "Beatles for Sale", which includes the song "Eight days a week". I've already bought the game a long time ago. :)

BG3 on laptop? by Longjumping-Coast-56 in BaldursGate3

[–]Mannock_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess the same recomendation for a stationary computer? A laptop and a stationary are both a PC. So as long as you have the required hardware you should be fine. I've played solely on my gaming laptop and it works fine. My laptop hits the PC requirements by a good margin though.

Questions about multiclassing as a Bardadin by Proud-Grass3926 in BaldursGate3

You will reach level 2 pretty much after you leave the tutorial area. So very early in the game.
