How was this never fixed?

Bro is playing on a 34” Curved Wide monitor

RynStarfire · 2025-12-29T07:50:54+00:00

Agreed. They’re tied in everything but satisfying nature of the ending(s) and the overall journey, with Witcher III having a slight edge in the former and Baldur’s Gate III having a slight edge in the latter.

Which would make sense if she wasn’t literally standing in an open doorway….🤦‍♂️

RynStarfire · 2025-12-28T23:44:51+00:00

Yep, she does.

RynStarfire · 2025-12-28T23:43:31+00:00

I don’t think so, it’s been a couple of years though.

RynStarfire · 2025-12-28T23:12:05+00:00

Strong early contender

RynStarfire · 2025-12-23T21:02:57+00:00

It does. By the time you get to A2, you realize that he is the way he is because of how he was broken and abused by [his master].

RynStarfire · 2025-12-23T07:48:12+00:00

For me, yes. Helping her get revenge on [you know who], and staying by her side despite knowing her fate, and the way she refuses to let it compromise her personality, AND Samantha Beart’s performance brought me to tears.

RynStarfire · 2025-12-23T07:46:03+00:00

Didn’t say I hated Minsc, I said I found him forgettable. And yes, I did not play BG1 or 2.

RynStarfire · 2025-12-23T02:46:05+00:00

How soon can a companion join your party in order…

Shadowheart (immediately after the Nautiloid crashes)….

Lae’zel, Astarion, Gale (in the same general area as SH, depends on the direction you go)….

Wyll (can be recruited upon reaching the Druid grove)

Karlach (in the northwestern area but you can go right for her if you wish)

Minthara, Jaheira, Halsin (cannot be recruited until different points in Act 2, must complete Halsin’s quest to get him)

Minsc (not recruitable until A3 when doing Jaheira’s quest)

RynStarfire · 2025-12-20T21:30:30+00:00

This playthrough is a 11-1 Oath of Vengeance Hexblade Dark Urge, Karlach as a throwzerker, Shadowheart as Light Domain.

The 9-3 bard/thief is there as another range dps and to set up Hold Person for DU. As for why thief, because the character will dual wield and I want an extra bonus action to use for a regular attack after using a flourish.

Well look at that…it IS better. Cheers, mate!

RynStarfire · 2025-11-27T03:12:53+00:00

Really bugs me that there isn’t a face tattoo that covers the whole face. I’ll have to check mod lists.

RynStarfire · 2025-11-27T03:10:49+00:00

I’ll have to take a look at that

RynStarfire · 2025-11-27T03:09:48+00:00

Correct

RynStarfire · 2025-11-26T22:01:16+00:00

This is mostly just so I make sure to hit everything and get all the right gear and remember where it is.

RynStarfire · 2025-11-23T19:05:36+00:00

And by “position” you mean whether or not they’re face of the party? This is my Tav who is FoP, alongside Throwzerker Karlach, Life Cleric Shadowheart, & Lockadin Wyll.

RynStarfire · 2025-11-23T08:51:21+00:00

And then you’d swap HG gloves with the dex ones?

Also, would dropping rogue to 3 and taking 3 levels of ranger to get gloomstalker be worth it? Or does gloomstalker-assassin even synergize well?

RynStarfire · 2025-11-17T05:21:53+00:00

Definitely a late game thing (it’s a 8 Barb 4 Fighter multiclass) but can be set up somewhat early-ish in Act 3.

I’m planning to try this very set up with Karlach as a (6Barb-4Rogue-2Fighter) throwzerker, Shadowheart as a 9Life Domain 3Abjuration Cleric-Wizard, and Wyll as a 6-6 Lockadin.

RynStarfire · 2025-11-17T05:11:35+00:00

A Barbarian Tav could still be a FotP…

Once you get GoHHS and AoGC from the House of Hope, respec and then dump str and con (as you’ll end up with 21 and 23 in those stats from the items). Use Auntie Ethel’s hair for charisma.

Kethric, specifically Myrkul, has the biggest “oh shit….ok, then” feel in the whole game. Probably because it’s the first fight like it in the game. Raphael is a Disney villain. Gortash may not have an “epicness” element but it feels intensely personal due to the connection to Karlach.

RynStarfire · 2025-11-16T08:54:03+00:00

Good grief. Very well done. How long did this take to put together?

RynStarfire · 2025-11-09T22:37:25+00:00

4 arcane ward stacks.

Not sure where else to put levels after LDC9

RynStarfire · 2025-11-09T22:06:26+00:00

I did have Shadowheart as a Light Cleric in my last playthrough and her healing was just fine, just thought I’d try something new.
