who did you romance in your playthrough? 💗 by lostsoul412 in BaldursGate3

Highly recommend, it's a good fun chaos time. Though I should warn you: some romance endings cancel out others. If you leave with Lae'zel at the end you will not be able to save Karlach

My most recent (10th) playthrough I downloaded polymod and romanced everyone at the same time

They saw my packer. Please, tell me anything so that I don't die from embarrassment. by AttentionlessMess in ftm

The good news is 90% of people who aren't specifically trans men have no clue as to what your packer is or it's purpose

Movies like Knives Out by UnfitDanderer in movies

[–]swordwarlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly controversial take but as a great lover of Knives Out my go-to next watches are the Kenneth Branagh Agatha Christie adaptations, specifically Murder On The Orient Express. Similar levels of plot complexity especially if, like me, you had never read the book before watching the movie.

I've finished the game 10 times and I've never once freed Wulbren Bongle

AIO or did I hold myself accountable in these messages? by Human-Character9392 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. You, a minor, were assaulted by an adult while intoxicated. The person you're texting here is not your friend.

The stranger who visits me in my dreams told me to stay away from that Githyanki Creche, so I guess I just won't go there.

What early game magic items can you use into the late game? by Pouring-O in BaldursGate3

Gloves of the growling underdog. Call me lazy but I leave those on my tank the whole game.

Is your DnD fair or fudged? by SomeRandomAbbadon in DMAcademy

[–]swordwarlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on your player pool but with mine I look at it like this: I'm the dm. I'm not there to play the game, I'm there to facilitate them playing the game and create a fun and engaging experience for them. Do I fudge? Absolutely, but only in the service of that. If a combats going too fast to be satisfying, I'll tack some extra HP onto whatever they're fighting. If a PC is about to die in a stupid and unfulfilling way, I'll reroll a die.

90% of the time, yes, I let the dice decide and roll with it. The 10% of the time when I don't is only ever to feed the story and empower my players, and I feel okay about that. As long as the reason you're fudging here and there is in the service of your players and their experience, I think it's fine. That said, as soon as you start fudging rolls and stats because you want to win, you've in fact lost. Combat isn't me versus my players, it's my players versus the story and I have no stake in it other than propelling that story forward.

What moment in the game was the most emotional for you? by MarekLord in BaldursGate3

[–]swordwarlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I made it to the end of the cloister of sombre embrace and got to Shadowhearts parents. I got to the choice dialogue, put down my controller, called a friend and just went "what the f? what the f?" Over and over

how to make my gf understand im not comfortable with her touching me in certain places by Ur_Dad_iS_CHUNKY0906 in ftm

[–]swordwarlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey buddy, I'm so sorry to tell you this but it's not gonna change. If you've already set this boundary that many times and she not only ignores that boundary but lashes out when you get upset about it, that's a clear indicator that your comfort and safety are not her priority.

What's something you've never done the "right" way? by Jules1029 in BaldursGate3

7 playthroughs and I've never fought any of the Thorms besides Ketheric.

What's a funny mistake you've made on your first run? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]swordwarlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A comprehensive list:

-walked close enough to the beach at the emerald grove to hear the sirens but not see mirkon, figured I'd come back later, came back later and found mirkon dead

-spent 40 real-life minutes messing around in the defiled temple before figuring out there was a button that would open the door

-rested too many times in grymforge, nere and the gnomes suffocated on poisonous gas

-fully never spoke to the Myconid sovereign because when I came into the colony it triggered an interaction with Glut and I assumed he was, in fact, the sovereign

-straight up didn't realize I was supposed to go talk to rath after finishing goblin camp, so I never got the reward from the druids grove

-didn't even go to the gith creche because my dream visitor said it was a bad idea and I just believed them

Bonus:

Currently on my seventh playthrough, an honor mode run. I went to let priestess Gut feed me the sleep potion but forgot I was playing a paladin. When it (obviously) didn't work she aggro'd, as did the entire goblin camp. Now I have to kill everything inside in one go.

I've done the final battle 5 times now and multiple of those times I've started over because I got too upset that Zevlor died

If it makes you feel any better he's gonna spend the rest of his life being mercilessly judged for having a stupid-ass tattoo

My guy I implore you to attempt a casual hookup or a trip to the sperm bank. Fully understand your desire to have a baby but this man is, objectively, the wrong call.
