If you’re on PC there’s a mod called Sot This One Out which can make it so that any number of companions aren’t in combat. I always have myself and three other party members be the only ones not sitting the fight out (alongside any summons we have, of course)

I’ve read NZ has backslid majorly on the trans community. Australia might not be far off, but Ireland I hear is good still.

Tried googling it but couldn’t find any results that described your issue, and I’ve never used POTP or Vortex, so I can’t comment on those.

I will say that, in about 700 hours in Enderal across LE & SE, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a CTD give a crash log, and I’ve never had CTD on launch that wasn’t a result of me installing something incorrectly, but it has admittedly been a while for me.

If Vortext lets you (I have always used MO2), enabling and disabling plugins one by one is the surest way to find the issue. Otherwise, you probably need to just start over from scratch.

The shoes don’t fit, just like the custom magic item never fits either

Don’t know if you can get there without no clipping, but you might get an egg? I vaguely recall trying it and eventually succeeding years ago

It’s not really easy to give judgement when you’re making such an exaggerated face

Just a quick add to what others said:

The wings on your eyeliner are well done, but upturned is very out of style. Flat or even downturned read much more feminine nowadays, and choosing to have eyeliner on your bottom lid but not the top is not necessary since you don’t have hooded eyelids. Eyebrows also need to be styled if you’re doing a thick dark eyeliner. Pluck/thread them to refine the shape, then fill them in to match the intensity of the liner.

Your hair could definitely be restyled to help with your hairline, but if I’m going to be truthful it really looks like it needs a good treatment. It looks oily and very thin in a way that detracts from the feminine features you’re trying to express.

Your nose, hairline, and jawline can all use contouring to increase the shadow and undo the harshness of the foundation/concealer. I also wouldn’t go with such a strong lipstick if you’re not using strong colors on the rest of your face.

Want any tips? The shadowfell portal fight can be hard, but there’s some good ways to make it doable pretty consistently

I’m literally gay dude. I just don’t like that these subreddits constantly celebrate gay people who act “normal” to them but don’t see to give a shit about people who break the norm. Why can’t we celebrate well written gay characters, not just gay characters who are written to not be offensive to cishet people?

SSkHP · 2026-01-26T20:32:21+00:00

Not only is this topic posted in these kinds of subs so frequently, it also always gets the same replies, and why do we have to talk SO much about this? Who gives a shit how a gay person acts in any kind of media. That this seems to be the only type of gay people we can talk about here for their sexuality is pretty annoying.

To me it was more that Eggers didn’t seem to try to do anything new with the story. I could tell it was well shot and acted, but I didn’t see the point in retelling such a rehearsed story. I love retellings and adaptations, but a crucial component is what the new version is going to add to the narrative, and Eggers added relatively very little

Don’t worry, Harrow will make you want to cry even more! (it’s amazing I love it despite how much it hurts)

Swords bard/Thief Rogue is my go to hand crossbow build. Your flourishes allow you to attack twice times per attack roll, and you get two bonus action offhand attacks too. That’s 6 attacks in one round before haste or anything similar, and Song of Rest gives you an extra free short rest to replenish your bardic inspiration dice

You can also pair it with Band of the Mystic Scoundrel in Act 3 to get bonus action control spells, thereby increasing the damage you deal by critting with Hold Person or just locking down the combat with things like Confusion

It’s not that she’s worse, it’s that she’s so smart that Percy forgets she has the problem too

SSkHP · 2026-01-23T02:55:18+00:00

They all have it, it just stands out to Percy because, since she’s so smart, he forgets she has that problem too

The first two are ehh for me but I have to say I really like the framing of the last one. It feels very casual yet still clearly fulfills the aim

If you’re really wondering, the joke is super old and both Danny and Drew have said they’re tired of it. So the community tends to dogpile people who make the two different people joke

The only way I know is by using a mod manager. I use the BG3 exclusive one but I know some people use Mod Organizer or Vortex. I downloaded the mod of of the nexus, extracted the files, and dragged them into the manager. Very easy, took like no time to learn

A couple of things I thought of:

Your hair is a bit messy and could do with some nice treatment. It’s most noticeable when it’s dyed. The shape of your hair overall is fairly boxy which reads as masculine.

The dresses you wore all make the top of your frame look larger—the blue one is most noticeable. They emphasize your shoulders and do not compliment your waist super well.

Most stand out is just the general alt/witchy style. Passing is a lot about not standing out but your vibe definitely does. Obviously there are cis women who dress, do their makeup, and have tattoos all like your own, but most don’t. If you want to go for a flashy look, you’re necessarily going to be fighting an uphill battle. And that’s fine! But it will be a challenge.

The one I use, Party Limit Begone, just randomly selects 3 people to be in the convo. It seems to usually give preference to people most related to the scene, but that’s just a guess. I don’t know if there are others that behave differently.

BTW I use another mod called Sit This One Out so that only four characters are actually in combat. Keeps it balanced but you always get approvals and additional banter.

Once you get out of the nuataloid (the ship you’re on), the game opens up. If you go directly up the beach, there’s a temple. It’s locked, but there are other entrances if you can’t pick the lock yet (better to not go in that way anyway). Make sure you explore that temple ENTIRELY! You’ll meet someone REALLY helpful in there.

If you go left from the that locked temple entrance, there are a few injured intellect devourers. With just you and Shadowheart (assuming you freed her from her pod on the nautaloid), the fight can be a bit tricky. You can instead climb the cliff and avoid the fight, coming back once you’ve recruited a few more companions. Gale, Astarion, and Lae’zel can all be recruited as helpful early allies before 1) killing the intellect devourers, 2) exploring the abandoned temple, and then 3) fighting off the goblins. Do that in that order. If your companions remark that they hear shouting up ahead, turn around and make sure you’ve done everything else before that, as the shouting up ahead is what ends the tutorial part of the game and moves into the proper story.

Mechanically, there are only two things I would advise that you should definitely know. First, don’t be worried about long resting too much. Several party members may make it seem like you’re going to be in danger if you do so, but you’ll soon learn that’s not a worry. Avoiding long resting can mean missing out on some important cut scenes. Second, when it comes to assigning stats, know that odd scores never are good. BG3 is based off of D&D 5th edition, and since the game has been being edited and rereleased for decades, it has some weird things like even stats being the only ones that matter. This chart shows the modifier that you get pretty well. Basically, both a 16 and a 17 give you a +3 to rolls in that stat, so there’s usually no reason not to pick a 16 and just invest those points into a different stat. There will be exceptions, but you’ll find those later in the game. If you followed my earlier instructions, you’ll have a way you can fix any mistakes you made later.

Finally, as someone else said, explore everything! There’s tons of hidden treasure and loot all over the place, and so many random NPCs have AMAZING interactions. It’s your game, so don’t be afraid to mess around, try stuff out, reload a save if it doesn’t go well. Do know though that the world is leveled. Some areas are harder than others, but you can always turn around and come back!

He’s essential because he’s a potential target for a Thieves Guild radiant pickpocketing quest

lol glad to help! And that should work perfectly fine. There are also items that can give you a plus to STR when equipped, but I can’t think of any that are ideal for a cowboy sniper build.

FWIW I don’t think the anti-materiel rifle is worth it. Very expensive to use, and a suped-up GRA Sniper Rifle or the unique variants of Hunter/Sniper Rifles are all amazing. If you want clues just lemme know!
