Got to act 2 in my HM run. Some interesting things Playing with the party limit begone mod you have some issues but none have bricked this run. First, sometimes when you rest you will just see everyone sleeping and it won't change. All you have to do is cycle through the other party members and eventually it fixes itself. Second - after you get on that boat to the Grymforge in the Underdark if you have all 7 party members with you three of them will disappear. To fix this, dismiss the party members who are there, get back on the boar and go back to the beach - that should do it. In the Shadowlands I went straight to Moonrise because I wanted to see if I did the Minthara thing right. Problem was the damage is very real near the tower and half of my team died and turned into undead zombies. I saw this coming and split half the team away and let the others die and then fast traveled to try to res them. The option wasn't there and I noticed there names werent skulls on the npc list. So I switched to them and saw them wondering around with the status of undeath. Including my PC. What I had to do was go to moonrise, break into the necromancer's room and take the moonlantern. Then I had to go to my party members, kill them and then go back and res them. And it worked on 1 of them. But the other two were res'd as zombies! It's because I blasted them into water and I guess that didn't kill them and remove the status. I killed them right next to Withers who got hit a couple of times and was like "nicely hit well done" lol. As for Minthara I have her in my party now, she stands very close to Halsin lol. I don't know if I'll be able to romance her though because I've already got a romance going with Shadowheart and me and Minthara didn't have the scene after the Grove. I should be able to figure it out after getting more approval from her.

if you kill astarion in the camp cutscene where he tries to bite your neck at night, the usual sleep cutscene plays, except astarion will be dead in his bed, surrounded in blood, glowing green (from the Speak with Dead spell). Bug or feature?

The conversation with the hunter in the bog was completed different with Astarian fishing for info and trying to deflect the conversation at the same time. Then he stabbed the guy in the eye (robbing me of precious XP at the early stage) and covered up the whole vampire thing.

You can do 5 Berserker, enough to get a second attack and 3 in Thief for the extra bonus action. From there you have some flexibility, I've seen people do 2 Fighter 2 Spore Druid. I like doing 4 Eldritch Knight because getting Bonded Weapon at Level 9 helps to smooth over the awkward stage where Returning Pike damage starts to drop off but you don't yet have access to the legendary trident in Act 3. Plus I like having another feat.

Paladin 6 / Sorc 5 lets you twincast Haste while keeping Aura of Protection for +3 to saving throws, which is huge. Then you can keep 1 point in Cleric for flavor if you like. But it's up to you!

 Had the NOT FOUND bug show up a few times since patch 5, but the most bothersome one was when all the text in one scene was affected so I couldn't tell what the options even were. Luckily I didn't care about talking them down, I wanted their loot and slammed the attack button instead.

Anything else I should do instead of 11 paladins instead? I really like the enhanced smite attack. I’d be tempted to take 5-7 levels of cleric for all the good spells then take paladin for the rest. Paladin doesn’t get much between level 2 and 11 other than the extra attack at 5. That way you can put up spirits of vengeance and wade into combat. Alternatively, I’m still convinced sword bard 6/paladin/2/champion fighter 4 is one of the best builds in the game.

Paladin doesn’t get much between level 2 and 11 other than the extra attack at 5. That way you can put up spirits of vengeance and wade into combat. The big things Paladin gets between 2 (smites) and 11 (improved smite) are their saves aura at 6 and oathbreaker's CHA to damage aura at 7. Still, taking 4-5 additional levels of paladin to get those is... I dunno. Paladin spells are not that exciting other than as smite fuel imo, though Vengeance gets Misty Step and Haste. Honestly there are a ton of very strong PC combinations around a high-charisma bard/paladin/warlock/fighter so you can't really go wrong. I'm angling towards something like what you describe for my final build, still noodling around with combinations. Blade pact warlock 5 to use CHA as your weapon stat (and an extra attack) can combo nicely with oathbreaker paladin 7 and/or Arcane Synergy. You can get Arcane Synergy from the Diadem (when you inflict a condition, this is less powerful than previous patches) or the Ring (grants Synergy when you deal damage with a cantrip). Late game you could potentially combo the ring with items to make your bard's Vicious Mockery a bonus action, which would trigger Synergy.

Floppychop posted:Act 3 spoiler Killed Orin and got her armor, but something's fucky Oh good it's not just me then. Speaking of that fight, I did it for the first time last night. (Deep Act III spoilers) Is the 1v1 Orin duel supposed to be unwinnable? I guess maybe if you're a melee/tank Durge you could pull it off but my relatively squishy Ranger/Rogue was literally torn apart in one turn by the Orin monster form. Since the Durge story continues with your defeat I'm sort of assuming that's the expected outcome. Also, as I near the endgame and am starting to see how everyone's ending choices are taking shape, I really like how if you want you can be the leader of a team that absolutely refuses to learn from their mistakes.

Honestly there are a ton of very strong PC combinations around a high-charisma bard/paladin/warlock/fighter so you can't really go wrong. Personally I think bard/paladin is far more powerful than warlock paladin. Taking 5 levels of a class just for the extra attack is silly - the rest of warlock’s stuff doesn’t really compliment what a paladin does, it’s an alternative. Bard flourishes add damage and effectively make each of your attacks 2 attacks, full damage smites and all. I’m not sure the diadem is worth using post patch. Wasting a bonus action on vicious mockery just for the synergy isn’t great. Most weapons have a bonus action like pommel strike or flourish that can also trigger smites, and when you get to act 3 you’ve got the rapier that lets you do an extra attack as a bonus action, amongst it’s other crazy powers.

The point of Warlock/Paladin is twofold: being able to use Short Rest Spell Slots for your smites so that you aren't long resting after every encounter, and Blade Pact (or Hexblade in tabletop) letting you use CHA for your attack stat so you don't have to worry about micromanaging either STR or DEX. Bard/Paladin can put out some silly damage numbers if you're only expecting to do one fight before Long Resting but Warlock/Paladin is incredibly self-sufficient, alleviates a weakness of Paladin (running out of spell slots for Smites) and basically only cares about CHA and CON, which is what makes it such a popular multi. Like I have no idea where you got "Warlock doesn't compliment Paladin" because that is literally the wrongest thing I've ever heard.

I don't want to drop 5-6 Bard because it's just great for both dialogue and skill checks and combat, fun all around. I'll end up with some combination of swords bard + paladin, I'm just theorycrafting a build where you could double or triple-dip CHA for your weapon damage. My original plan was swords bard 5 + oathbreaker paladin 7. Compared to your bard6/paladin2/fighter4 it trades action surge, improved crit from champion, and a fighting style for paladin spells and auras. Probably a wash overall imo. edit: don't forget that in non-Honour mode, blade pact warlock 5 + oathbreaker paladin 7 gets you three attacks in addition to letting you double-dip on CHA for damage. I don't wanna give up my swords bard stuff though  Warlock/paladin is my favorite setup for Wyll though, it feels very thematic for him.A hasted warlock/paladin is one of the top couple builds for damage output in non-Honour mode (Honour mode removes stacking of warlock and martial extra attacks and changes Haste) and probably still in Honour mode. You get 6 attacks (3 in Honour) with 2x CHA bonus damage and then add in all the smites. Also, bard melee flourishes don't do two attacks on a single target unless I'm missing something, that's only with ranged flourish. If you can position to hit two guys in melee then that's where melee flourish gets bonkers. melee slashing flourish = +1d6-10 damage attack in a small arc, potentially hitting more than one baddie ranged slashing flourish = fires two shots with +1d6-10 damage each, you can shoot both at the same target (doubling your attacks) or at two different targets Unless I'm misunderstanding something.

exquisite tea posted:Act 2 Honor Mode has been a true disasterpiece so far. Despite my best preparations Isobel walked right into a megacrit from Marcus and was abducted, killing everyone in Last Light. Fortunately I had the good sense to speak to Dammon first to upgrade Karlach's heart, but RIP to everyone else. When I got to Moonrise Towers all the guards were already aggroed on me for some reason and I got the short "you know what, just kill them" cutscene from Ketheric. So I've had to battle my way through the entire tower, which has been a mess but also kind of cathartic. The only NPCs who don't want to kill me are Roah Moonstone and the drow with the blood fetish. Despite having 3 STR characters in the party Astarion is too much of a bro to make him drink her blood this time around. That's pretty funny. This is why honour mode is fun though because poo poo goes tits up and instead of scumming you just deal with it. Isobel came real close to getting abducted in my run. She was down to 1hp before I got a sanctuary off on her and righted the ship. Alfira also almost died which would have been devastating because I wanted that robe real bad. Roah Moonglow is one of my most hated npcs in the game and it takes a lot of restraint not to murder her smug rear end the first time I see her in the goblin camp. But I always feel rather cathartic in Act 3 when I gun her down when she tries to flee with the gold.

I'm in a non Durge play but I knocked her out and recruited her just fine despite keeping the Tieflings alive. I don't see why a Durge wouldn't be able to do this and even if you do the bad Durge stuff in Act2 I think you'd still be able to rescue her from the tower as doing so has nothing to do with the people at Last Light Inn. Mr. Lobe posted:I don't kill Roah so I can pickpocket her many times. I don't like robbing neutral or good merchants Lmao I'm glad I'm not the only one. I like to sell a bunch of stuff to Esther at the Creche and then steal from her until she aggros. And then I feel zero guilt about killing her because she's an rear end in a top hat.

yeah one of the most fun aspects of a multiplayer game or Honour mode is the reduced or removed temptation to savescum your preferred outcomes and instead you gotta just roll with it. One of the strongest parts of BG3 as a game is its reactivity, it's imo up there with F:NV in terms of how much it will react to your actions and everything is designed around allowing you to fail skill checks and gently caress things up and still progress without breaking the game.
