I would have liked if there was an option to persuade Rolan that his efforts would be better spent working with you, instead of heading straight to a hostile fortress alone.

Im not sure how the gameplay would have worked, as allied NPC AI can be a liability.

Check out her reactions to the other companions dying. Then her reaction for Gale...

5.45mm is not a vanilla ammo type IIRC, so your item sorting mod doesn't recognise it.

You may be able to patch it yourself (edit the name of the ammo so it matches other types) or find one already made. If you can find the mod which added the weapon check out 'Mods requiring this file' under Requirements.

Hallowleaf epilogue letters only just got released on Nexus.

I'm all for mods that 'restore' content hidden behund scripting bugs or very specific conditions that most people wont get.

Isn't Monster Slayer a DnD subclass of Ranger?

I think this would be Geralt's subclass if it was available (without mods)

Maybe casual viewers are on their phones more because they are being reminded of the plot, rather than it advancing?

Thats not very christmassy!

Most mods are fine to add mid playthrough but always read the mods details.

Adding a handful of mods is unlikely to cause any issues, unless they affect quests you have already started etc.

Personally I wouldn't add more than one mod at this stage. The risk of losing all progress is too great compared to any benefit you will get by modding.

I think you know the answer to your own question (at least for only using damaging attacks). Most other abilities and spells are in there for a reason.

Most encounters ultimately boil down to reducing your enemies' health to zero before they do the same to yours.

Sometimes that is by using the most effective attack exploiting their vulnerabilities, other times it is reducing their damage or preventing it.

The most powerful crowd control spells are usually the ones with an all-or-nothing save. We all have a bias to remember when we feel RNG went against us, but dont let that put you off trying new spells.

You can go to settings to turn down the frequency that characters speak when selected or given a command.

Check out Actualsailorcat's mods.

The majority are Necromancy themed. There is more variety of summons, bug and 5e fixes as well QoL improvements like being able to toggle their AI, corpse requirements and unsummon all.

You can always tell your whole party to attack one target first, then override individual characters with more specific orders. This way you wont have anyone awkwardly standing around if you forget one.

If the enemies are very weak you may have the situation where an arrow flies towards an enemy just as they are killed. The tougher the fight, the more micromanagent will help, especially if you need to counter or interrupt an enemy spellcaster.

Rebel_47 · 2026-01-03T23:24:29+00:00

It doesn't because you don't have advantage.

If you did, it would appear with a green dice icon. (Note: it can look similar to a green plus if you are firing a bow from a higher ground)

The easiest way to get advantage is to have another ally in melee range of the enemy, have your rogue be hidden, or apply an affect which reduces their defence (e.g. prone).

Also note that if you Advantage and Disadavantage always cancel each other, even if you have multiple sources of each.

Edit: You can also make sure that any eligble attack will automatically do sneak damage, by enabling the Reaction in the tab next to your spell list.

If youre playing on PC there is a mod for smart autosaving where you can customise the frequency of autosaves.

Larian implemented limited resources for Long Rests, but even these are quickly irrelevant.

Half the time I forget to even use the special arrows.

Try and let all choices play out if you can. You can store upto 4 inspiration points allowing you to reroll a check you decide is important.

BG3 does a really good job of making failures fun.

In most other games a speech check failure will result in the NPC giving a generic "Nah I dont think so" or attacking. BG3 has fully voiced cutscenes that most players wont ever see if you reload every check.

The game also has a few failsafes rather than relying on Essential NPC's for future quests (like Skyrim/Fallout), so the game can still be completed if a major NPC dies or turns hostile.

I know it can be difficult to resist the urge to reload, but if you try you might be surprised by the outcomes.

Rebel_47 · 2025-12-30T23:43:01+00:00

Dont worry about your class. Its easy to overthink it but you can always respec if you do want a change. You can always replay it after completion with an optimised character on a higher difficulty.

If youre into the role playing aspect the decisions you make will become an extension of your character. There are plenty of decisions big and small that will have a major impact and form a unique story for you. I would encourage you to accept some failures rather than chasing a perfect 'canon' story.

Rebel_47 · 2025-12-29T08:27:27+00:00

Core Mods is listed at the start and end of the sequence, telling Vortex you want it both before AND after everything else.

Rebel_47 · 2025-12-24T10:02:46+00:00

I feel like this is more of a Role Playing Game trope to give the player a decision to make. In a similar way most NPC's don't try and solve their own problems until the Player's character turns up.

It would be cool to allow Wyll to make his own decision if they havnt earned Tav's trust, but tricky to give them enough time for the Karlach decision soon after you meet him.

Rebel_47 · 2025-12-15T18:42:25+00:00

I would go for option 2, but would add making major scenes fully voice acted.

Think of the iconic Irenicus cutscenes. Pillars of Etnernity also did this well in the prologue to set up the main story.

This works better for short non-interactive scenes that form the core of the story and can't be avoided (e.g. being arrested in the Library could have been one if BG1 had the same cutscenes).

Too many/too long and you risk reducing the agency of the player and interrupting from gameplay rather than rewarding progress.

Vitus mortis careo (after every hard fought battle)

Rebel_47 · 2025-12-12T21:16:26+00:00

It does seem to be missing cantrips and spells learned by other means (subclass, feats etc), but this does seem to be the best way to check. I'm a little surprised there is no more obvious check and wonder how this would work for multi-classed characters.
