I vowed to kill the woman the hair was attached to but she tempted me. I had to give god 1000 gold to repent

The paladin convo options are great, especially oath of vengeance paladins. I'm never in the wrong for murdering a bunch of folks!

its hosed up that enemies in bg3 will actually attack downed characters

if any real DM tried to do that they'd start a fistfight

That's because they have to use up all their available actions per turn.

They'll do things that are completely nonsensical too like jump around and run back to where they were before just because they have a bonus action and nothing else to do with it.

it's kind of funny/weird how many people have problems with persistent pursuer gale. in my game i had the option to say "not happening" the first time it came up and he said that was cool and never brought it up again. i wonder if that flag can just not set or get unset or if that specific conversation can just never come up somehow?

SlimGoodbody posted:

I was hashing out with a buddy what the World Warriors' various political tendencies were for fun, and my incomplete summary is thus:

Ryu - Too much of a weird karate hermit to pay attention to the world, he's probably apolitical. He might think Yukio Mishima had some interesting ideas if presented his text in a vacuum.

Ken - Canonically a dumb, rich rear end in a top hat who lost it all to the kind of libertarian failson scams that every Effective Altruist says they believe in.

E. Honda - Probably the guy who gave Ryu his copy of Confessions of a Mask.

Chun Li - True believer Marxist-Leninist-Maoist. Unproblematic queen.

Zangief - Misses the salad days when the Soviet Union was a genuine bulwark of communism. Probably says things Putin doesn't like, but 'Gief lived through the paranoid days of collapsed Stalinism, so every attempt to assassinate him with polonium has resulted in his assailant getting pile driven into a coma.

Dhalsim - More spiritual than political, his admonishments in favor of pacifism raise concerns about his views on the right of victims of Hindu supremacist violence to defend themselves, but he has also said injustice is a great enough evil to motivate him to acts of physical conflict.

Guile - Lifetime Air Force officer. His politics are guaranteed to be awful, but it remains to be seen whether they're Red MAGA awful or Blue MAGA awful.

Blanka - Maoist Third Worldist, indigenous rights militant, eco-terrorist. Has killed corrupt developers, will do it again, loses no sleep over this. King poo poo.

Balrog - One of those guys who says he loves capitalism, but owns no capital. Has a podcast or Twitch stream where he says insanely stupid reactionary and probably misogynist poo poo, to the adoration of an army of misguided young men. Is not-so-secretly in absurd debt because he got rich on fighting but never learned to manage his finances before getting barred from sports.

Vega - Jeffrey Epstein partied with Vega one single time on a yacht off the coast of Spain and would never speak about the events that transpired, refusing to ever see him again. Whatever Vega's beliefs are, they are guaranteed to be profoundly dark and self regarding.

Sagat - Honestly a very chill, nice guy to be around. "Live and let live" attitude, but might cave your chest in if you poo poo talk the king of Thailand?

M. Bison - I mean, massive fascist, obviously. Kidnapped or cloned a bunch of 10/10 smokeshows, called them his "Dolls," trained them up as super assassins in case he ever needed a back up body; a very normal thing for cisgender men to do!!!

Akuma - Pure rule of the strong. Demon ideology.

Dan - Technocratic neoliberal.

Elena - Pan-Africanist environmentalist. Beloved. Will probably be the next Nelson Mandela and change the world. Not an ounce of cynicism in her heart.

Alex - Teamster guy.

Hugo - Gets all of his politics from his girlfriend Poison.

Poison - She's a pink haired trans woman with no respect for the law, she has probably the most perfect praxis and politics of anyone on this list. If she ever meets Kimberly, Blanka, and Elena, we will have a new revolutionary vanguard.

Odo - Has escaped the Wheel of Samsara. His understanding of the world is more than you can deal with.

Gill - Technocratic neomonarchist.

Urien - Typical striver Republican business psycho.

Twelve - ◻︎●︎♏︎♋︎⬧︎♏︎ 🙵♓︎●︎●︎ ❍︎♏︎

T. Hawk, Lily - Indigenous rights activists, Democratic confederalists. Have done industrial sabotage.

Cammy - Could have just as easily ended up with the IRA rather than Delta Red if she'd been dumped in Ireland, in which case the English state would not longer exist. Once she retires and gets some distance and perspective on her life, will probably write the next War Is A Racket.

C. Viper - She's in the C.I.A. so her politics loving suck for sure. Big time Hillary voter.

Hakan - Don't bring up Armenians.

Rufus - Full on Q-anon lunatic. Was at Jan 6. Will die in a hail of gunfire when he tries to pull AOC's face off at a rally to prove she's a lizard.

Laura - Classic South American revolutionary leftist, but with a bunch of weird ideas about vaccines and using urine as medicine that seem to creep into anyone who gets REALLY into Jiu Jitsu.

Luke - He started in the army, then became a private military contractor, then a BJJ gym owner. His politics are lovely beyond description; whatever the plot of Call of Duty is, his politics are that. His truck is so large that he will not know when he runs over Mel. 100% a Blue Lives guy.

Kimberly - Black Lives Matter. Police abolition. Decolonialize. Direct antithesis to Luke. Will probably have to kill him within the next 10 years when things really start to fall apart and we enter The Cool Zone.

J.P. - Koch Bros. style "libertarian."

Jamie - Too young, drunk, and dumb for politics.

Yun & Yang - See Jamie.

Juri - Egoist anarchist. Despises authority. Will never date anyone; situationships only. If she joins the above-mentioned revolutionary vanguard, we will either have a successful global revolution inside of 5 years, or the group will collapse to Stalinist infighting as they each try unsuccessfully to get Juri to love them.

Manon - Born rich, runs in high society circles. By French standards, her politics are wretchedly bourgeois. By American standards, her politics are better than 90% of the U.S. population.

Marisa - An Italian who pines for a RETVRN to the Bronze Age... Look, I love her and want her politics to be a wholesome desire to recreate ideal populist democracy, but Italians and RETVRN types haven't earned much credit.

Dee-Jay - Probably similar to those of Pitbull.

if you have a clip or something whatever you're thinking of could probably be diagnosed but it's not something as simple as "they have to use all their available actions per turn". you're probably misinterpreting highground/los seeking or they have some passive/item/whatever that they're weighing. the only thing i've seen ai really obviously and consistently gently caress up is counterspelling cantrips (which is probably actually the smart thing to do anyway instead of dying with all their counterspell slots left)

The horniest character in the game so far has to the angel that tells everyone how they want to gently caress at every opportunity.

I had an orc general start hitting on my main character right as we were getting ready to throw down in a fight to the death. I refuse to ever talk to Halsin because all the dialogue is just him being thirsty for you. This game is so horny it's starting to feel like a hentai visual novel dating simulator and makes pretty much all the companion quests and stories complete garbage.

bg3 has been pretty drat gentle in that regard. might just be too used to larian by now but i really expected more absurd roadblocks and 'bullshit' wipes without fair warning. i've gotten so used to hearing second hand stories about nice dms accidentally wiping their players with easy mobs i came in expecting brutality

Pretty easy, you can just burst it down in a turn without letting it do any BS. I think I reloaded that fight only once, maybe twice.

That was the underdark one for me anyway, I didn't do the earlier one, which definitely would have been more of a challenge.
