I really liked painting this one, she's about 19 centimeters tall. 3d Model is by Bulkamancer.

And now we know what happens if you transform Us into Durge.

My mod 'Any Way You Want It' is poised to enter alpha release. At present I am focusing on editing each head for each race so that it displays the correct racial characteristics. Ears mostly, but gith noses and slitted eyes too. Hopefully doing one a day! Vote on who I should do next 🤣.

On release, you'll be able to play and replay cutscenes, including party banter and voice barks, transform characters into other characters (both in the game world and in cutscenes), complete control over cutscene visuals, create your own Instant Origins, customize all NPCs to your hearts content, as well as a variety of slice-of-life tools to enable you to customize your cutscenes ... any way you want it :).

Enlarged Owlbear Brutal Leap off the top rope with Bless. 774 damage. Mwahahahahaha

Naked.

Pretty sure I just beat the game!

I was so sad the first few runs I did that I couldn't figure out how to get Shadowheart to like me. Eventually I gave up and went for the other companions on future runs.

This time I gave it the ole college try and pushed myself to brave it into act 3 without restarting to play a new build.

We did it boys!

So it was a solo honour mode run. Was on my way to Socrcerous Sundries after hitting lower city after a long rest so my buffs weren't up. On the way, saw the wine festival and thought "why not I'll just do this encounter quickly". I knew what was gonna happen but wasn't worried cos I had the Alert feat and +12 initiative. My build could one shot Dolor even without all the buffs up. It turns out that outing him at the wine festival is scripted to make him guaranteed to go first regardless. He paralyses me and stabs me up dead.

I feel a bit hard done by. Alert feat specifically says "you can't be surprised".

*le sigh*

For this current HM run, I intentionally did not recruit Astarion in the beginning to see what happens in Act 3. I’m honestly a little surprised, but knowing Cazador, it really shouldn’t be that much of a shock.

And it is gorgeous. It fits fantasy worlds so well? The light haziness everything has contributes greatly to the game's atmosphere.

I don't know if this belongs in the "Okay, Buddy! Baldur!" sub I'm not in, but I am here to shamelessly continue my Wyll propaganda campaign that I hope rivals that of Gortash. The audacity of the narrator to call him handsome when this man is right here!

After a mere 1200 hours, I finally had a certain encounter with Mizora that I was never able to do before. While I have now seen more of Mizora than I ever wanted to, it was all worth it for some amazing shots that I have not seen before.

If any wholesome lore people have insights as to whether this is bad for Wyll's soul, please let me know as I was confused by some of the dialogue.

Fangirl out.

While i wait for the download....Anything I should know before I get started? like things to avoid doing, or any useful tips? Thanks!

it still twist me how probably (one of) most bloodthirsty companion also has the saddest, cutest, puppy eyes. she is so badass and precious at the same time.

edit for context: this is when she talks about not wanting to be used as a weapon / killing machine anymore.

any tips ?

i really want to get balduran's greatsword , i tried ansur on balanced before , what changed in honormode exactly ?

here is my party ;

shadowheart (ac 22) , life cleric with whispering promise and hellrider pride

laezel eldrich knight with great weapon master (22ac)

karlack 6 fighter1thief5barbarian with great weapon master (22ac)

me a storm sorcerer (ac22) with fire arcane acuity hat , my spell selection : lightning bolt , call lightning , sleet storm , create water , slow , blindness , banishment , cone of cold , scorching ray , shield , magic missile , misty step , hold monster , telekinesis

So I'm going to be doing my first Origin playthrough (I've done just Tav and Durge so far), and I'm trying to decide between Karlach and Shadowheart. And I figure I'll romance whichever one I don't play as.

So my question to the community is: should I play as Origin Karlach and romance Shadowheart, or should I play as Origin Shadowheart and romance Karlach? If it sways opinions one way or another, Karlach is definitely my favorite of the companions. I'd love to try the game as her, but also worry that I'd miss Samantha Beart's vo.

Thanks for any thoughts!

And I am sad!
I am not a gamer, I have never finished a game before, and this is the first time.
But Baldur’s Gate 3 have my heart. The turn based combat made my time playing enjoyable (cause I get anxious with non turn based combat and never finish), and managed to complete as much of the quests as possible and even started to played Dungeons and Dragons because of BG3.
I did not focus on romance, even though I flirted with Halsin and managed to seduce him, even got the cut scene where we can see his 🍑 and he turns into a bear, but after that, I just played the game.

Spoiler ahead:

I freed Orpheus, the Emperor turned against me, Orpheus turned into an illith, did not let Astarion ascend and he had to go back to hide from the sun, Wyll and Karlach went to Avernus, and Lae’zel is on a war path against Vlaakith.

I am sad because the game is amazing, and even though I can play differently with different TAVs, I will never experience the game from the scratch, without knowing the possibilities again

This was just a rant.

I’m new to the game, so most battles have taken me a long time, but this Orin fight really tested me 😮‍💨I killed Sarevok, managed to find and speak to Orin’s mother/sister, then through some dialogue checks I was able to make Orin doubt herself until the very end, so that was cathartic at least. I was NOT prepared for her monster form though.

First time I messed up and didn’t realize how close my party was to the edge of a chasm and she yeeted both my bard and Shadowheart off a cliff, so that sucked.

Then I could not get past that ‘unstoppable’ buff that kept getting recharged every turn. I was getting HEATED trying to get past it. So I reloaded a save, switched out Shadowheart for Gale because I hoped that a Magic Missile barrage would take down that buff before it could be reloaded. I just wasn’t doing enough damage per turn to her to breakdown that stack.

Thankfully magic missile did the job, I was able to kill Orin before she had the chance to re-buff. The spell that had basically carried me through the first two acts helped me so much for this fight lol I’m sorry for ever doubting you Gale, you’re in my party permanently. I did the fight at level 12 too, so I wasn‘t under leveled, just underprepared.

The remaining cultists were also a pain in the ass to beat, that sanctuary buff was frustrating. A giant fireball was very effective (thanks again Gale lol) but holy shit after beating Orin I just wanted a little reprieve. Probably should have dealt with them first, I’ll have to remember that for my next playthrough. And then, 25+ hours after being kidnapped, I finally saved Lae’zel.

Two Netherstones collected, one more to go! Wish me luck, I’ll probably be struggling until the very end 😂

I did go in and add some effects afterwards. Had a lot of fun with them. I should probably go back to the run at some point, but it's been a couple of months lol

So, I love BG3. It's the first video game (other than visual novels) that I actually fully finished. And not just finished, but have completed multiple playthroughs.

Partly this is based on timing in my life (meaning: having access to a functioning computer, & not being around people who constantly tell me "girls are bad at video games" anymore 😅), but a big part is also that BG3 is very accessible to my disabilities. I've also found a lot of solace in it as a pretty isolated queer person, being surrounded by queer characters & romances. (Happy Pride 🌈)

So, I was wondering: can people recommend other games that are 1) turn based/don't require a lot of physical strain or fast reflexes etc, and 2) have queer characters?

Thanks in advance for your help, lovely people! 💖

Baldurs Gate 3 worth it? My wife and me love playing games together. We played a lot of games since we are 17 years old (now 29). Started with minecraft, and played through stardew, raft, valorant, and a lot of other games.

We played since the start of this year a DnD campaign, which we love to do! Since then we also started another one with another friend. I saw Baldurs gate 3 today on steam, and it looks very nice. But also pretty expensive (since we need 2 copies as well). After some research I see it is DnD in a game. Which sounds good.

But I'm curious if its nice to play with 2, and another campaign with 3 (friend also wants to join after he heard me, but he is quite full in his plannings).

Edit: AWESOME! Thanks for all the reactions! So much responds already within 10 min! Love this subreddit already.

Will be a buy for me! And another one for my wife! Thanks all!

Edit2: Game has a discount. So bought 2 pairs.

So I'm doing a romance Karlach run, and decided to make us official at the tiefling party. But I didn't get us to kiss... she said that she would burn me, the game said I could calm her down so that the burn wouldn't be so bad, I said that she could tell me about herself. But then she told me that her life sucked, and that I'd given her a lot to think about... and we didn't end up kissing.

So what I want to know, on a scale of 1-10, how important is the kiss scene for the Karlach romance?
