    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    I realized that the Goodberry girls were down 1 Diva, and also that nobody was wearing the Potent Robes we got from Alfira, which seemed a shame, so I recruited our final zombie for this run. Aerieana Grande is an Avariel Cleric Mage Bard who lost her wings, but then found her footing again...

    Dimension Doors hehe Minthara made sure we got our money's worth before leaving Act II lol After getting accosted by Githyanki and catfished in the Astral Plane, we decided to blow through Rivington in much the same fashion as the Shadowcursed Lands, using the gift of gab wherever we could...

    Strategy Games Thread

    This is overall my favorite genre of computer game, but I also feel like I haven't really updated my 4X catalogue for about 10 years now. I guess it makes sense, since I'm used to clicking "end turn" while our technologies develop, wake up and somehow a whole century has gone by!? :) I'm not...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Success! We pulled it off without resorting to explosives! hehe Scratch kicked it off, with a trick he learned from Squire, sneaking backstage to release the Dame. Jaheria used Icestorm to handle the Necromites on the left, while I ice Stormed the Intellect Devourers on the right, Shadowheart...

    This took some figuring, for Jaheira's stats and kit.... I wanted to run her as a Circle of the Stars Druid, cause obviously hehe, but then the challenge was getting Jaheira 1 lvl in Bard. I wanted to make it so she can perform with that Merryweather Lute I held onto for her, but then also with...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    If we did everything correctly and cleared Moonrise of everyone, then Jaheira will show up here... with the ground floor already cleared. The spearhead moment speech is pretty excellent though, so I don't know, maybe we should have left one guard alive just for that, but with the hurry up plan...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    All told it took us about 15 minute solid to do the Surgeon, the Barkeep, and Yurgir, with a couple outfit changes along the way. We were extremely persuasive! I borrowed Cat's Grace from Karlach to work the bar, then switched back into the Drow getup for Surgery. We told Yurgir what happens...

    "MINTHARA PLAYS THE BEHOLDER!" One night only! hehe We just added some dates to the tour! This one was mostly for the album cover and the posters. We'd been waiting on this with Shadowheart using the sound of silence. Special guest appearances by the Skeleton, Azer, and the tiny spiders...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    I thought the simplest way to hit lvl 8 would be to visit the Dark Lady for some erudition and general life coaching. Talli swears that the Elixirs she sold us will cleanse us of any sort of necrotic damage to our hair, and we've been holding on to that special tonic we found back at Grymforge...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Withers has assured us that for a mere pittance of coin, he can get us out of whatever oaths Wyll may or may not have taken on, and reminded us not to sign anything. Especial if Devils come knocking. But then Mizora launched into attack pattern zeta, with an impromptu visit from the head office...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Yeah more custom shields seems like it would have been an easy one for the base game! I'd have loved designing shields all day if we got to pick the designs and the colors and such! Lae'zel looks badass in the Dex threads! For me I feel like Withers is a bit of a doubled edged thing. I find...

    One thing I'll say about Wyll, he's got a knack for the business end of the equation. At first we just thought he was joking when he talked about the Starving Musician, and how he had the inside lute connection on that. Then when he whipped out a dozen Lutes in his inventory, we had proof that...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Laying the Hammer down! Nice! Nothing quite like Crushing it at the Ancient forge! hehe I love that final crunch! :) Got in another couple sessions this morning. I think the Dungeon Master is messing with my heartstrings! That note we read on the Githyanki slate, reminding us about Lae'zel...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Crit failed again vs the Githyanki! Voss and the Raiders weren't messing around. I tried to jump jump, but then while casting Wyll got a little overenthusiastic and decided to moonwalk 3 meters in front of everyone else! Threw the whole crew into initiative before I could even mantle up! Sarth...

    bought it

    This was pretty amusing to watch. Ed Greenwood messing around in the BG3 character creator and talking shop... If only there was a write biography blurb button! hehe I would like to see his take on Vogue Githyanki! With all the elaborate Mods and such for BG3, what it really needs is a...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Hehe thanks! I legit think that might be the first time I've remembered to use a Soul Coin in combat lol. Probably only because I did everything all assbackwards, so that when I finally got around to the Dank Crypt that one coin in the coffin reminded me. I heard if we delayed we'd catch some XP...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    They tried to silence us at the Dank Crypt! Two times those ancient skeletons tried cut us off! But the fog machines said 'Encore!' so we were unmoved. What's the point of powering up in absurd fashion for the rush style drum solo for all time, when we can't dare to snare? Karlach wasn't...

    bought it

    Haha Danna got robbed! ;) Yeah that was how I played in EA for sure. Also with that same remembrance that O_Bruce had, about being poisoned TPK in BG1, then reloading after reloading. Trying to steal a Remove Gaes scroll from Jalantha at the Bitch Queen's Temple, before the clock ran down, from...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    A Flying Pegasus would be nice! I'd settle for a flying mule, but the pink pony club was empty when we headed back to the barn. Baffling! Never did end up rehearsing with the Harpies. Hopefully there were no hard feelings lol. We made a brief appearance at Mudstock 1999 and played all the...

    I bought an Icewind Dale Big Box

    That's the box I remember! And probably at the same price point from Best Buy hehe. I like how it it's all branded up too... "Forgotten Realms" a "A Baldur's Gate Engine Adventure" and "Dungeons & Dragons" with the Black Isle logo deadcenter at the bottom. Rated T for Teen cause I was 19. I...
