    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Got him! Shadowheart used the Glyph of Warding Sleep to put Raphael to bed, then we destroyed all the Pillars before he could transform. Hope banished banished the haters and we were on. I dropped the globe and Raphael woke up, so we immediately tried for the Majestic Command Halt. This...

    Ok we were able to get the band back together for the Bard run. All told it cost us basically everything we'd earned from taking the main stage at the Foundry. All the armor and random maces, then we started dipping into the collectables and some equipment that might have had sentimental value...

    Few minutes in gimp and now it exists, or in meme form at least lol Gotta toss em out there sometimes ya know, see if anything gets retrieved :) Shadowheart is a pretty solid Clerical trope, she' got the whole Janus faced thing going on so that works. I think the challenge would be to figure...

    To me BG3 is pretty arcade gamey, like somehow it reminds me of the Street Fighter 2 or MK era in the arcade. So I prefer to just imagine that this game will somehow still get an afterlife, re-run revamp, to take me for even more coins! Crank the animation speed like 133% and then give us all...

    So far so good! I managed to clear 6 grand in about as many nights for the Rogue run, which felt like an alright start. Larceny died 3 times on the Nautiloid trying to set various grease traps before concluding that it was a bit of a bust. I think the most impressive start for a lockbuster was...

    So basically what happened, I was trying to use Arcane Battery from the Dragon staff to free cast the summoning spell Greater Elemental, but instead I clicked the Kereska's favor Lightning attack by accident and triggered it against the wall. This agro'd Mizora from AoE and threw Elminster, Gale...

    Similar to a very long roadtrip, we started with the records named for roman numerals, but by the time we get to like Coda and Presence and whatnot, you've probably been cruisin for a while. Sometimes we need to enjoy the silence for a spell, to appreciate all that sound hehe. The Nautiloid...

    lol Well, never let it be said that we didn't completely trash that hotel room! I'm not even sure how or what set it all off, happened so fast! Like one second you're reorganizing your hotbar and checking your levels making sure everything is fine tuned, and the next thing you know it's a hot...

    This is where we are, at the level cap and with the Stats and itemization all basically sorted... Well, other than the equipment from Hell like the STR Gauntlets and such, but I usually do that last, for whoever is brawling the hardest on the front line. I kept Viconia's mace for myself since...

    Worked like a charm! :) I forgot I could just travel to camp and snake the book from Gale. We did some light reading and got the inside scoop on forbidden knowledge. Managed to get us to 23 Charisma which I think is the highest I've managed just using the Hag's hair to hit the early 20 from...

    The Spider Queens Vengeance! hehe That was probably Shadowheart's most important Flute solo of all! hehe Once again the Djinni came pretty clutch, thunderwaving those goons into the Cloudkill and such. Our army of Minions was pretty formidable, now that I can summon a Deva and an Elemental for...

    That's badass! Henry doing it the old fashioned way with a Smite! That's supremely satisfying. The battle under the Creche is super intense! I resorted to barrelmancy for Ch'rai cause I was afraid of his super psychic abilities, and all those magical swords. I've been TPK'd right at that part...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    The Performance at the Wine Festival was epic!!! Minsc really outshined himself and proved his devotion with a series of furious Smites, backed up by Boo. At first we tried to lure Dolor out of position with the power of sound, but then he tried to get too close! Like way to close!!! The...

    Even more Minsc! It's amusing to me how every few pages I end up with this same basic conundrum of trying to build a Minsc lol Eldritch Knight is a bit frustrating, mainly because their spellcasting Attribute is INT. I thought I could get around this potentially by taking my last level as a...

    A gallery of Possible Minscs lol So the main issue with Minsc is that I'm bringing some definite baggage along for the ride on this one. Like he needs to hit certain marks or just won't feel sufficiently Minsc-like to me. Additionally, and along those same lines, he has some standard Weapons...

    Here's an example of the spells re-preparing for Jaheira when she levels up... Just fills them with a bunch of low level entries and reorders the hotbar each time she ups. This is more what I'm looking for... You know with like a greater Elemental and some Icestorms and such, or just...

    I was curious what sort of spell lists we'd end up with if I just clicked through the level up screen with Withers and allowed the game to select all my defaults for me. It was truly abysmal, ending up with cantrips like dancing lights and spells like the disco flaming sphere lol. From the worst...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    This is easily one of the more frustrating battles in the game I think. The Bhaalist assassins ambushing us at the bank. Like please show me just how worthless the "Detect Invisibility" spell truly is lol. It's as if the encounter was designed to showcase all the cracks in the...

    We all live in a Yellow Underwater Submersible Well, except for that one lady, and probably like 3 or 4 Gnomes, but it really couldn't be helped... Wyll was pretty heroic, I gotta say! lol He'll be eldritch blasting that one on repeat for a while, doubtless. Jaheira decided to go crowd...
