That worked pretty well. I got nervous facing the Gith Raiders at lvl 3, so I doubled back to the beach to get the Speed potions and recruit Astarion. I figure if ditching out on Act I this would be the place to try and get Lump killed. My plan this time was to summon the ogres then retreat into...

Now that I have Swamp Din and a backup Witch within striking distance, I'm just about at the point where Pink Din might have the confidence to fight Ketheric. But before that I had yet another idea which I wanted to explore. I'm not super into the speed run concept, but I had a thought for a...

I still question whether or not Honour Mode was even a worthwhile idea at all, especially since it's so at odds with how I played BG1/2. Ends up being the most Meta thing I could possibly conceive of for a D&D campaign. All my Dins are like Shiro in that Monsters and Mana episode of Voltron...

Yeah that seems like the best possible outcome for the big birds! The Righteous Path! hehe. The Owlbears would probably be way better off not encountering the party at all, least in my case hehe. I have perpetual restartitus, so of course I rolled up a Bladesinging D'wizard of the Stars for...

Yeah the ascended Owlbear Cub is pretty wild. I really don't recall the Owlbear ever feeling quite so synonymous with D&D as it does in this game, to the point where if you asked people to randomly list creatures from Dungeons & Dragons I bet Owlbear is a top mention now. That's a hit for Larian...

Yeah that sounds pretty frustrating. I'm not sure what the best route there would be for a standard Lawful Good sorta Paladin. There are a couple ways to swing the Gnoll encounter, none of which seem particularly Good. The simplest is to use Illithid Wisdom, and draw the Flind's attention to the...

I goofed the bladesong and got Minthara killed immediately after Lae'zel had knocked her out! Alas All that setup and then Gale's flashy force damage attack screwed us! Go figure lol. Basically I'd been using Gale as the primary healer since his bladesong climax gives that AoE heal, ends up...

I wish the regular non enchanted equipment had more visual variety and some reason for existing beyond lvl 4. In BG1/2 we couldn't combine Enchanted armor with other specialty items that gave a big boost up to Armor Class, so there was a reason to hang onto some stuff. You know to keep the...

Just did the Owlbear again, I was a little nervous that Gale's Bladesinging BS might trip me up but we ended up just bursting it down with flame rays and quickened magic missiles. This was a good thing as Lae'zel missed both menaces and I'd forgot to prep command with Shadowheart. I was prepared...

I think you owe it to yourself to suffer through BG3 as well, at some point ;) You know, for the mad science, if nothing else. I mean I'm not saying you're going to necessarily enjoy it when all is said and done, but I think it might scratch some sort of itch. Is it always good to scratch...

In my headcanon this is the RP point at which Shadowheart becomes a Death Cleric... Basically right after the first Durge scene, when we rescue Barcus from the Windmill and get Lae'zel her fancy silver boots. I feel like it works pretty well, basically she's being torn between Shar and...

The plan worked! This will be my new routing from now on probably, since I can hit the 3rd long rest timing and get the Durge scene without the Vampire scene interrupting it. I was going to recruit Astarion after Durge, then do the night bite. But I think if I delay recruitment until we have...

This out I'm trying Gale as a Bladesinger, since I hadn't really checked that out yet. I set him up with the leathers and the General Drakes dye, since that looked sorta Villainous Wizard to me with the red/black/gold color combo for now. I chose Longsword for the blade type, even though our STR...

Us is alright. Later on they can be recruited as a permanent familiar, similar to Scratch's ball, so Us can tag along with whoever. Sometimes I will give Us to Lae'zel as a pet. I'll have the Shadowhound, so probably Shadowheart takes Scatches Ball and then maybe Gale recruits Shovel, just so we...

It's mostly a result of me just trying to quickly roll yet another Sorcerer, and using the default stat blocks there hehe. Each attempt took me about 20-30 minutes. Initially I would go in and try to fine tune everything, but then after doing that half a dozen times I'd invariably forget lol...

BG3 definitely appeals to my sense of compulsive repetition, but this time I decided to try Witchbolt on a whim, instead of Magic Missile like I usually do. I managed to kill all 3 devils and keep lobotomized Us alive as a Shadow Sorceress! Finally! lol No Hastey potion that time, I think it...

That take was so hot it started glowing! hehe

Andor is easily the best thing on TV for me. Everything about this show feels so well timed! hehe :)

Oh also the other thing the Mage Hand can do that's pretty useful here, is that it can reposition objects in the environment. So like the 2 Nautiloid tanks for example, Mage Hand can fly over there and then shimmy them towards the door for kaboom without using any actions for that. It's a bit...
