"Best Community" feels like a weird category to begin with. That's not really a quality of the game itself. It's more just saying "All the cool kids are playing this".

Intresting. I would've assumed it would just spawn a new Imoen regardless of whether you'd chunked her. Especially since the Imoen in Candlekeep has an entirely different character sheet.

Haer'Dalis's tiefling race gets him some minor damage resistances. 50% resistance to cold, 25% resistance to fire and electrcity, 15% resistance to blunt, slashing, and piercing damage.

In Durlag's Tower, directly before the Demon Knight, you encounter this man who just saw his party march off to fight the guy and die. He tells you about the Demon Knight's fearsome mirror of opposition, which creates an exact clone of your party to kill you. He says advises that if you were to...

These dopplegangers have gotta stop calling people fleshlings. I don't know how anybody's fooled by them. This feels like a pretty big tell.

So, I play with the item randomizer mod. Which swaps around the locations of about 100 different items in the game. It has some kind of priority system, where the sweet loot tends to go in places where you found sweet loot in the base game. It's just not the same sweet loot you normally find...

Noralee is hilarious. Potions of Infravision. The most useful items in the game.

There's that quest in Nashkel where the miner's wife asks you to check in on him, and you come back with his greenstone ring to report his death. Cracking up right now over the option to claim the ring as payment for your services. It's a greenstone ring. It's technically jewellery but it might...

I was fighting this wizard, and he cast horror on us. Everybody starts running around like chickens with their head cut off. So I cast "Remove Fear" and it gets everybody back into the fight. Everybody except Khalid, who managed to be tucked behind a book shelf when the spell went off. Khalid...

So, the party I'm running with on my mage/thief is Charname, Imoen, Jaheira, Khalid, Rasaad, Branwen. The party I'm running with on my shadowdancer is the same but with Neera instead of Branwen. And Branwen really does make a big difference. A single class cleric is kind of a god send, not...

Had a bit of a jump scare, when my shadowdancer was fighting the shadow archdruid. Failed a stealth check, and decided to use Shadowstep to make a hasty retreat down the stairs. When I exited out of the shadowstep, the archdruid was down the stairs with me. Didn't know it worked like that...

I'm honestly not super clear on the mechanics of non-detection, since not a whole lot of enemies in BG1 try to dispel your invisibility. I'm told it's more of an issue in BG2. I've heard the cloak is super important though, because if you cast non-detection as a spell, then that it itself...

Interesting! Happy to hear another perspective. Mine isn't quite in "Stealth on Demand" territory yet. I've been splitting the skill points because I need her to handle the locks and traps while Imoen's dualing. Baldur's Gate 1 is also disproportionately outdoors, in the sunlight, as opposed to...

Wait, I accidentally posted this in the wrong subforum. There doesn't seem to be a button to delete it. Maybe you can't do that with entire threads. Could one of the mods move this to "RPG Discussion"? Edit: Thank you

Moving this into its own thread so I don't clog up the "What Are You Playing" thread. After playing the shadow dancer a bit more, I think it probably shines more the higher levelled it gets. Even when I manage to land a backstab, the difference between a x2 backstab modifier and a x3 backstab...

Shadowdancer has always sounded really cool to me. Traps are kind of my least favorite thief skill. They give it up and in return they can use stealth spontaneously in the battlefield instead of having to plan ahead with the player's foreknowledge. But it's always seemed like a pain to go...

In Baldur's Gate right now, playing a single class thief. Hearing the siren call of the fighter/thief. "What if this thief could land a hit?"

I cannot. That's fine. A lot of the videos posted here are blocked actually. I wouldn't remark on it usually. The subject just struck me as unusual. I can see the videos on this channel, and a few other international comedy central channels. I'm in Canada but I don't think there's a Comedy...

Ah yeah. Now that you mention it I've seen a couple key and peele sketches and I can definitely see them doing that. One of them was some slaves at an auction, and all the other slaves were being bought first, and the gag was that even though they don't really wanna be slaves, eventually they...

Is the funny video about Structural Racism? I can't see it in my country but that's an unusual subject for comedy.
