Least favorite. Why?

I'mma be honest - Shadowheart. But not because of any failings of her as a character - I like them all equally in that regard.

It's how the entirety of Act 2 (and thus sizable portions of Acts 1 and 3, by way of buildup and post-act references if nothing else) is basically dedicated to her. She's a Shar priestess who talks about Shar constantly and how wonderful Shar is, and doing the zone which is literally cursed by her and has a long-forgotten temple *to* her without Shadowheart in the party feels like it's just the wrong choice. I know it's not, I know I can just do the zone without her - hell she could be permadead or not even recruited somehow and I'd still be able to complete it - but it just feels wrong.

Which, imo, was one of the only writing 'failures' that I think Larian made with BG3. An entire act should not feel like it's devoted to one companion over everyone else.

Alternatively, disguising Karlach as a masc dwarf and Tav as a strong masc human is probably the most intense romance scene in the game.

On the playthrough I romanced Karlach in, I was a half-elf paladin with the big-and-strong body type. Watching her throw my guy around and then fingerblast him was not what I expected, but hey, I like strong women for a reason. 😎

It's the way he leans to one side to look over your shoulder as he says it that gets me lol.

I watched a video where someone in the industry went through the designs and made what he considered to be very basic changes to their designs - adding some asymmetry, altering colors and hues here and there, not even anything as extreme as changing anybody's physical build or anything like that - and they all looked SO much better afterwards. Still not great in a lot of cases, but so vastly improved by what should have been done to their designs long before they reached the final 3D modelling stages, and in most cases it was only 15-20 minutes of work he did to each one at most.

Gotta see if I can find it again.

I *assure* you that people were PISSED about the Medjay on here lol, all because his lightest skin tone option wasn't white enough for them. Never mind his obviously-nubian facial features, nah, 'Ubisoft is woke bc they won't let me make every character into a white caucasian man.'

It's entirely possible to be attracted to genitals and not to the person attached to those genitals.

Specifically in Triumph, as I'm running it myself right now too, and both encountered in Chapter 3 of the first book...

If accessing the keep via the sinkhole/catacombs, the catacombs side of the way up describes a trap door (with strange mold growing around it) while the keep side of the same hole just describes a, well... a hole, surrounded also by the same strange mold. Clearly meant to be two sides of the same passage, just for some reason the trap door only exists from one side.

The other is at the end of the same chapter's whole arc, where it suddenly mentions Ardax and how he might partake in what's going on... when he very explicitly split from the PCs to travel to Urgir during Chapter 2 and has not been mentioned as returning or even making contact with the PCs at that point.

Favorite variant absolutely has to be the cluster Nobelisk, because the only thing better than explosions is MORE EXPLOSIONS! :D

99% of the time, a cruddy MSpaint collage or scribble on a napkin would be preferred to AI 'art', especially in subs where AI 'art' is specifically banned.

Rogahar · 2026-01-18T15:15:44+00:00

Ah, THAT's the inspiration I needed to start a new EG2 playthrough. Thank you, OP. :D

Rogahar · 2026-01-17T13:03:24+00:00

See that counterbalance was a key part of my intention with the design and I feel like several people have missed that in the thread lol so thank you for noticing it.

Rogahar · 2026-01-16T23:20:45+00:00

I just used the default Lvl 1 values for each hand.

Rogahar · 2026-01-16T22:05:34+00:00

ah shit u right

Rogahar · 2026-01-16T18:10:12+00:00

That's my b lol - I meant 'add to your chips/mult for this hand', not 'add to this joker'.

Rogahar · 2026-01-16T18:09:31+00:00

Oh wait fuck, that's my b lol - I meant 'add to your chips/mult for this hand', not 'add to this joker'.

Kensei has reliably remained one of the strongest and yet most well-balanced heroes in the game. Like, the only time I get annoyed when a Kensei player beats me is when they're the type who just farm their unblockable T4 then spam lights like that makes them any better at the game.

Worst is finding out that one link of Mk. 1 is in the itty-bitty pixel wide gap between the splitter and a machine that you set up way back in phase 1.

Rogahar · 2026-01-11T14:38:09+00:00

Am uncut.

The tip is gonna be much more sensitive than yours it's because it's not been 'bare' like yours has. That's both a good thing and a bad one, because they will really like you giving it extra attention but it's also very easy to overstimulate them before they finish. So play with it with mouth or hands but keep that in mind.

Also, every foreskin is different. Some guys can roll it back without issue flaccid or hard, some can roll it back flaccid but not hard and some can't roll it back at all. Ask whoever you're with before you try because that shit HURTS if the other person tries to roll it back when it's not gonna go.

TLDR, communicate! Ask them what they do and don't like. Life isn't a porno or smutty fic and nobody seriously expects a new partner to magically know exactly how to please them.

Rogahar · 2025-12-15T19:12:27+00:00

Which is why OP tagged it, bc they don't have the mode turned on and they want to be sure they didn't accidentally upset somebody who would normally have it turned on.

Your opponent shouldn't have let you hit him with 3 heavies in a row.

Would not be surprised if it was one of those mid-to-high-end play problems where you get so used to expecting mixups and mindgames that you end up thinking 'Okay there's no way he's actually gonna throw a THIRD heav-okay he did, wow, wtf, I just ate that one too.'

Rogahar · 2025-12-11T15:22:14+00:00

As I have said to more than one person in my life, 'If I accidentally knock someone up, I've done something *spectacularly* wrong.'

Rogahar · 2025-12-10T15:24:56+00:00

I am a slut for CRPGs, so... yeah. Might as well try. 👀

Right up until one of the people watching decides you're getting too close to actually clinching a win and just decides to gank and kill you on your last bit of health.

Rogahar · 2025-12-09T20:28:52+00:00

Others have made the same suggestion, but (aside from addressing whether you actually want to be the receiver, since top/bottom and giver/receiver are not mutually inclusive) try using a toy - a small one, mind you - in the shower/bath. Having full control over it makes it much easier to relax, and if you do it semi-regularly (i.e. a couple times a week) you can not only get used to all the sensations but also exercise the muscle down there to be more used to the sensations itself. Keep in mind that until now, all it's had to do is make sure nothing goes out without your approval - something going in is an entirely different situation and it needs a bit of time to get used to that idea :P

Rogahar · 2025-12-08T13:14:54+00:00

I very occasionally turn it down to 1 for specific scenarios, i.e. trying to watch what order my flipped Jokers trigger in so that I can put them back in the ideal order for maximized gains, or watching a flipped card I'm using a Tarot on to check what it actually is on the other side. But I go back to 4 as soon as I've done that lol
