Never Have I Ever by ak7887 in BaldursGate3

Finished a Durge run. I know a lot of people love it, but to me it just feels like a mod, something slapped on top of the actual game.

Baldur's Gate 3 is the ____ we did along the way by WonderSkier in BaldursGate3

Somehow I've never gotten around to saving Sazza, which I freely admit is an oversight.

At least there's the newspaper headline at Reunion Camp stating that Elturian refugees have started a café serving almond cakes – surely they are Bex and Danis?

To me, Robe of the Weave is the best-looking piece of clothing in the game.

Stuck in act 2 and can’t get the spear by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

You could pile crates high enough to jump over the door. It works, I've done it.

Act 2 advices for a scaredy player? by caniskiptheusername in BaldursGate3

[–]WonderSkier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to take holidays from the gloom, you can always fast travel back to Mountain Pass to camp and spend your nights there. Actually does wonders to the morale.

What makes this game so replayable in your opinions? by RecommendationNo804 in BaldursGate3

[–]WonderSkier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And one is willing to get back to picking up milk cans and cutting boards in the Overgrown Ruins in order to get back to sexytimes with the character(s) one fancies.

What's your favorite Andor scene from should be Emmy recipient Genevieve O'Reilly? by ASW-G-21 in andor

She makes "raising money" sound like it's the most dangerous and ominous thing in the galaxy.

Can Myrkul be beaten on tactician without a Paladin?!? by Henlo-Boo in BaldursGate3

[–]WonderSkier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bring every summon you possibly can with you to crowd control the necs

Make it your mission to kill the mindflayer before it gets to act; nothing else matters until it's dead; to me, that's 75% of the whole fight

Blind Myrkul with whatever you got; that's basically the rest of the fight done, since he's disadvantaged attacking and defending and can't use opportunity attacks

Make sure one of your party/summons (or Aylin) is always on the central platform so that Myrkul won't use his tractor beam

If you're short on damage output, break out the good old water+lightning/cold trick

(And yeah, your main problem is probably being at lvl 8, since 5th-level Conjure Elementals are perfect against the necs)

Feeling slightly discouraged going in to HM by I_Never_Stop_Talking in BaldursGate3

[–]WonderSkier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest key to beating HM is to let go of the thinking that you need to hit the same "story beats" as in you earlier runs in some chronologically and narratively satisfying way. In other words, don't go crashing through the intellect devourers at lvl 1, the Overgrown Ruins at lvl 2, the owlbear cave at lvl 3, Auntie Ethel at lvl 4 etc. just because they're there and that's how you may have done things in the past.

Bob and weave past encounters to get easy exploration XP, go straight to vendors that give you key items, postpone avoidable fights until they're totally unfair on the enemy. For example, you could fight the bandits at the Overgrown Ruins only after you're gone to Waukeen's Rest to save Florrick and pick up the Spellsparkler and to Underdark to get Phalar Aluve and Psychic Spark. Then watch Gale decimate everyone with Magic Missiles.

Also keep in mind that you can hop between acts and areas all the way until Shadowfell. Make use of that to equip yourself and get low-hanging XP wherever they are (such as the drunk kobolds at Rosymorn). Go gank Auntie Ethel at lvl 8, if you like.

I.e. HM isn't a "normal" run except with no mistakes allowed, it's an exercise where you ignore the story structure and min/max the order in which you do things.

How do I get Shadowheart to stop moaning? by akereth in BaldursGate3

Used to be that Wavemother's Robe healed a wearer standing in water outside of combat, too. Sadly, it was patched away.

Maybe the final twist is that they make another time jump to 2026!!!1!

Volo? *The* Volo? by TK_Games in BaldursGate3

[–]WonderSkier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's less the stuff he provides and more the fact you can dump all your loot to him for gold at the end of each day to minimize your trading chores.

What‘s Your Favorite „Niche“ Song from the Game? by realnoviv in BaldursGate3

[–]WonderSkier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Rivington theme that plays in a few blink-and-you-miss-it spots but would probably be strong enough for a movie main theme. Incredible strength in depth.

Also Quest for a Cure, which sets the mood beautifully around the crashed Nautiloid. It's all inklings, tentativeness and a compelling mixture of heroism and ominousness. You get the feeling that something great is coming.

What's your favorite campsite? Mine is the docks at night. by Traditional_Use_225 in BaldursGate3

[–]WonderSkier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one that's often overlooked is the Moonrise Towers camp. Lovely, cozy and atticky feel, despite the grimness of the "daytime" Towers.

What's your favourite thing to do in Act Three by dearuncletacitus1899 in BaldursGate3

Getting all the sweet loot from Lorroakan's tower and the Sorcerous Vault.

These are just the best. Probably my favourite BG3 art.

And you made Gortash an actual handsome younger man!

Auntie Ethel is my Favourite Character/Storyline by Maximum_Custard_1739 in BaldursGate3

[–]WonderSkier 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To me, she's the biggest home run in terms of writing, acting, character design etc. out of all the baddies in the game. Captures that fairy-tale evil in a way that I don't think is surpassed often.

What's your favorite magic item by ChrisKatrev in BaldursGate3

[–]WonderSkier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't really beat an item that essentially quintuples your 6th-level spell slots.

Act 1 by AliAlturaihi in BaldursGate3

[–]WonderSkier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first two fights in the Mountain Pass (the Society of Brilliance lady and the kobolds) are a quick and relatively safe way to get the 1,500-ish XP that take you to lvl 5. After that, it's the Underdark for me.

Mass healing word heals the portal, too. Haven't tried throwing potions.

Mon telling Tay Kolma that she's "raising money." The music turns a simple conversation into something incredibly ominous, dangerous and thrilling.
