Very good advice there. I think I've now mastered 0-risk pickpocketing for a no-reload run. Steps to take: Unchain your group. Go to the Barter menu and offer smth around (from your own items) ~30 gold worth. Then click "Balance Offer". The merchant will put his gold in. Then left-click that...

Well, we almost dug our own grave as we seriously underestimated how powerful the githyanki group would be. And the fact that Lae'Zel rushes forward and the fight starts with her standing right next to the enemies quickened our downfall. Sarth Baretha is a monstrosity. Rolling dice twice...

This is a thread for interesting things that people have picked up over the years. The game is big enough that every player might find something they missed. I'll start. 1. The DC for pickpocketing is not directly displayed in the game's interface, and the number you see is actually NOT the...

So what do we think now? 🍾🥂

As people in Bohemia say, man proposes, but God disposes. I spoke with the corpse next to the "paladin" merchant, and it confirmed what Karlach told us about Zariel. So I decided to use Astarion to do some pickpocketing, so as not to lose items when the fight emerges. He was rolling high for...

When I played BG1 & BG2, I often used my rogue character (preferably, a F/T) to complete some areas with stealth kills. Or used a cleric to fight the undead, especially the vampires, alone and buffed. Or sometimes, for magical duels, I preferred to face an SCS spellcaster with my raging...

Both Luke and now also Tom followed the example of the BG3 cast, and ramped up streaming. That's so good to see! Luke has already become the biggest factor in promoting KCD 2, he's a star, and now Tom is joining him, and that comes from a non-gaming person (so I guess, similar to Devora Wilde...

Hate as in a bad or good way? Is it challenging or frustrating, or a bit of both? There is a learning curve for BG3 combat if you haven't played similar games before (especially in regards to verticality, using the environment, or even placement of your characters and using sneak). Also, for...

I agree with your suggestions, but I feel they just ran out of time to implement even more systems than the game currently has. At least, some can be solved with modding, like unlimited dyes, for example. I've always felt their original transmog system is clunky, not good enough, and not fitting...

I might be in the minority here, but I like to loot all those vases, crates, bookcases, and just common miscellaneous items scattered around. I loved doing that in the D:OS games, so I guess that's my habit from them. Also, Act 1 of BG3 reminds me of D:OS environment design (in a good way, not...

So far, so good. Used my spare inspiration points to save Arabella, and all worked just fine. Saved the kid on the beach as well, the harpies don't pose a big threat if you jump there from above instead of going from the water side. Then cleared the blighted village, at least the surface level...

These crazy madmen released a game for real, loooool. If you haven't seen the full movie, I highly recommend it, it's VERY funny:

The modded Karlach look is actually datamined from game files, so at one point, she was supposed to look like that. I especially like the fire in her eyes, heh. Here are the mods I use: https://github.com/LaughingLeader/BG3ModManager BG3 mod manager...

I'm embracing the crazy. The druid door combat saw one tiefling die, I couldn't do anything; it was 2 crits in a row before I even got close. Would have hated that if I could reload. The crypt fight before (where we got Withers for the camp) went uneventfully and smoothly. The win against our...

Playing the Honour mode is certainly... an experience. My Henry failed to save Us (even with 17 in DEX). Considering I know what this is about, it's ok, it's not the first playthrough. Shadowheart failed both attempts to disarm Zhalk. It just prevents a group from a small power boost, it's ok...

I finally got the new device, so I'm ready to start again. Using the Henry of Skalitz mod, I'm bringing our favourite Bohemian lad to Faerun! He'll be a Beast Master, planning to use Scratch as an animal companion due to another mod. Henry likes his dog!

Yikes, if anything, this should be nostalgic, BG2 no-reload runs often ended because of not being careful enough with traps. But hey, at least BG3 offers a turn-based mode for this (which didn't exist in, say, DOS1; that's where traps were ridiculously hard to disarm with party AI logistics...)...
