this guy gets it. I kind of hope they do a full BG1 and 2 remake after the success of this one. Throw the rtwp in the garbage where it belongs and update it to 5e, put it in the new engine with full VA and mocap and all that. Probably unlikely, but I would be into it because I'd like to finally play them again and I just can't bear rtwp anymore.

You definitely can get away with a lot of mistakes in honor mode if you have someone who can run away from fights (it’s even possible to have one person run from a fight, resurrect your dead party members at camp, and then return to the battle with all of them, while the fight itself has been paused on your remaining party member’s turn) But, yeah, generally in honor mode you avoid being outclassed in fights by having already played the game and knowing roughly what fights are where.

The key to a smooth honour mode run is 1) knowing what's coming because you've beaten BG3 before and 2) developing an efficient route through the game. The legendary abilities make certain encounters harder but if you approach them at the correct level and not undergeared you should still be fine.

My first honour mode attempt almost ended when I was talking to Dammon and all of a sudden the entire tiefling camp turned aggro and tried to murder me. Shadowheart died as I tried to escape but they put us all in jail. I think it might have been because I casted friends on Rolan. Does that turn people aggro in honour mode?

Yep, you can only really use it against people who will immediately leave or who you don't mind fighting.

It is precisely because you did that. Although it can happen even in Tactician, it's particularly brutal in Honor. You must leave the area before the spell expires (if I had to use it, I would fast travel to camp, turn off the spell, then go back).

Yes, if you use Charm or Friends in Honor mode then when it wears off there is a chance that the person will get mad because they realize they have been influenced. I think that this can also happen in Tactician and I think that Detect Thoughts does this even in other modes? But yea it means those powers are much less useful and you need to plan to not be there once they wear off from the effect. It feels like it means they're only useful in the situations where you are trying to talk someone into killing themselves.

I had a similar experience with Wyll in Last Light. Don't cast friends unless you're ready to murder your "friend"

If friends makes them temporarily hostile you can do non lethal iirc Unless you’re about that action.

Wouldn't you turn agro if someone hosed with your brain using magic?

You can also immediately teleport back to camp as long as it's not a hostile area

I haven't messed around much with friends but it's a duration spell, right? I imagine that if you cast it and use it that if you then run out of the area before it wears off the npc might be ok with it? Sorta like how you pick pocket an npc and they get mad for a second looking for you but then after like 10 seconds of not finding you they reset to their normal state? Purely speculative on my part, and probably still risky on honour mode to do.

Yes, that's exactly how it works and I would argue Friends is the best possible cantrip pick for your main character (on Honour mode). Having advantage on charisma checks is hugely beneficial and it lasts 10 turns after you end the conversation. Just walk out of sight or teleport to camp and cancel it manually.

Is the Selune chest very buggy or can you only open it as a Priest of Selune? Because I've passed both the perception check and the religion check AND I have the sheet in my inventory, yet I still get blasted

Been getting into this the last few days, initially bounced off for various reasons, now I've started over a few times and now feel I'm getting somewhere as a warlock. It's been interesting seeing how it handles different paths through the story, like finding a dying True Soul early rather than killing a goblin leader. Couple of odd changes I've encountered though; previously I had a bunch of cutscenes of Astarion sneaking away at night, and found a drained boar (failed the check to figure anything out from it) before I caught him trying to drink me, this new playthrough I caught him on my first long rest. Just luck? Hidden perception check? Also, and possibly more critically I've now killed a bunch of True Souls and picked up their tadpoles, but I've not triggered my guardian announcing themselves and telling me to upgrade myself with them.

If reading the prayer sheet while standing RIGHT NEXT to the chest isn't working then yeah probably a bug!

About this, I believe that the trigger for the Guardian appearing is to use your Authority powers a certain number of times, not just finding tadpoles. If you don't use those checks when given the option - I think they're mostly around the Goblin camp to start - then it delays when you'll get those interactions.

Makes sense I think I've killed most of the people I can use them on right now, set all the goblins hostile.

Is there anything in particular that needs to be done to trigger Volo acting as a merchant? He's got a ring I want but only wants to talk about eye surgery. e: nevermind, I can just pickpocket it e2: after waking up from the post-grove party, Lae'zel has the Enemy of Justice status. Just what the gently caress did you do last night girl? Thundarr fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Jan 2, 2024 |
