That highlight reel though! lol

On Summons - So BG3 reminds me of the first BG1, in that there are options to stack quite a few summons. The way it seems to work, these are cap'd by summon type rather than total number of summons, or with a ceiling for the party as a whole. So there's a slot for a familiar, animal companion...

Finished up the Tribunal late last night. We disputed the edicts of the tribunes, obviously. I mean we definitely remembered what that one goblin said, "Tribe!" but then I took another look at Sarevok and his crew and figured they probably didn't have the best interest of the people at heart...

Yeah I'm hoping they'll have some settings options, cause I've found that I'm somehow very particular in this regard. I'm the same way with new TVs as well, where I'm always scrambling to find the judder and motion blur settings. Kinda same deal though, where in some games I'm totally fine (or...

Handled the House of Grief with a flurry of non-lethal blows. Everything there went according to plan, although I nearly screwed myself by forgetting to switch from Radiant palms to Psychic palms. It was only when we were all drinking our potions that I somehow remembered, otherwise radiant...

Random aside, but I was thinking just now about how every shooter I can think of and most action rpgs and mmos all rely on a convention where the player is moving backwards in space while keeping their view oriented forward. Another example I guess would be the backwards or side tumble or flip...

This game is definitely on my radar right now, although I still haven't tried the first one yet hehe. It's got big trouble in little ren fair vibes to me for sure! One thing I've noticed about myself is that, while I can enjoy playing games in either 1st or 3rd person, I cannot observe someone...

We went after the Vampires, predictably. I thought about doing Viconia first, but I already know what's going to happen there. Like I'll plan a whole run around some Yoshimo-esque endgame betrayal, but then totally back out at the last moment hehe. Like of course I want to see Viconia atop the...

See I think I already know what my problem with Dune Prophecy Season 2 is going to be... Cause I'm over here wanting the whole thing to serve primarily as a Jodhi May vehicle. You know where like Jodhi May becomes Empress of the Known Universe and then outmaneuvers everyone, all the witches and...

I decided to become a War Priestess at lvl 12, with the dip into Cleric. To somehow embody the Spider Queen's Vengeance I guess, and also to rep that Katana we finally snapped up... lol It's mostly for show since the stunning punch is usually better, but we can keep it at the ready along with...

I attempted the Cleric/Ranger concept using his default stat block and it seemed promising, but then I took one look at his hotbar with all those additional clerical spells to manage and instantly decided it just wasn't going to work for me! lol Instead I tried to recreate his BG1 stat block...

Almost there! This is my first crack at the Lower City using Tactician Enhanced. I attempted to blow past Rivington by just getting arrested immediately hehe. Like we didn't even stop to visit the Circus. I saved the dog, but just washed our hands of everything else. Almost got dropped by the...

Also not news really, but just a feeling I still have... That part of what made the game so successful as a 'Community' thing, is that while the game doesn't require any sort of D&D background to get into, for the minutia D&D pedantics create this nice web where people feel motivated to teach...

I thought this interview article was interesting for some of the behind the scenes... https://www.gamesradar.com/games/rpg/the-making-of-baldurs-gate-3-we-really-wanted-to-make-it-so-that-even-if-you-dont-know-d-and-d-or-baldurs-gate-you-would-still-have-exciting-choices-as-a-player/ Makes the...

New Year! Same Jaheira! lol My approach there remains largely unchanged. Jaheira is the reason we like to keep in Withers good graces, cause I feel like she needs to have a legendary stat block, but her attribute spread is pretty bread and butter, same as any standard Druid. For this reason I...

Oh my goodness! We nearly dropped the ball, right before the ball dropped! lol Once again it was Evil Wyll who saved us. The dude's on a roll I guess hehe My mistake was thinking that I could smooth talk Yurgir instead pinging the Displacer Beast off the ledge with a thunder arrow to open that...

Speaking of Wyll and what to do with him... In this run we're definitely stealing his clothes!!! I had forgotten how much I enjoyed his outfit on a female Drow for the mini-portrait! hehe For some reason I had it in my head that Mizora's robes were Light Armor but they're just Clothing...

Yeah I think that works. He could probably rock like a 4/8 split and still not loose out on the feats or the special boons from Warlock, something like that. Gloves can get the job done for the most part, or the cat's grace robes. In this one I had given those duds to Alfira so she could rock a...

hehe

5 times so far, making it to the Reunion camp. First with Din the Draconic Sorcerer, probably last year around this time. Then another Din who tried to combine Sorcerery with a dip into Cleric, just so I could have a Dragon god hehe. A couple Witches over the summer trying to figure out which...
