exquisite tea posted:Has anyone ever tried an evil Shadowheart origin campaign? Bad Girl Summer with Lae'zel, Minthy, and Astarion sounds like a fun alternative to Durge. I started one with the intention of doing so but I honestly didn't find her doing bad stuff believable. I did sketch out a plan of doing one with the RP reason being that she failed to save Arabella and rescued sazza with things escalating from there. I still don't find her or Lae'zel as credible group leaders at all though with them starting with 8 charisma.

Ratios and Tendency posted:Talkable corpses glow green as long as you've got speak with dead up. I'm only going to have speak with dead up when I've used it lately. I'd much prefer for an icon to appear over a speakable corpse if I've got access to speak with dead at all (IE: If I have an item equipped that lets me cast the spell, if I own a scroll of it, or if I have a party member who has access to the spell)

Isn't it only that they glow if they have something "important" to say that's plot relevant? I'm pretty sure I've talked to the dead before and they weren't glowing green.

So, I may have over-prepared for my Ethel encounter on my tactician run. I one turn blasted her in the teahouse. It’s neat to interact with all the NPCs in her lair. The one petrified dwarf was cured of whatever ailment he had and was super thankful to not be rock any longer. Might reload to eat hair though.

You need to have cast it at least once since a long rest. From that point on talkable corpses glow green until you rest again.

Medullah posted:Non lethal seems buggy as hell to me. I freed Sazza in the beginning to get the trust of the goblins, and was amicable with them all until it came time to kill the leaders and save the Grove. Sazza was in the room and I didn't want to kill her so I bonked her out. That's less a glitch with non-lethal damage and more a case of the quest log not accounting for all possible player actions. If you KO Sazza there and move on to the Mountain Pass, the quest log will progress and she'll show up later at Moonrise.

If you do a little casual necromancy and have a stash of corpses it is a good camp casting practice to talk to the corpse you are about to explode to make a skeleton.

Glad the non-lethal thing isn't just me. I figured all those petrified drow were, at least, not there by choice but it turns out I killed them all anyway. Is it the kind of weapon you use, maybe? Although that just leads to stuff like calling out how in the old days clerics didn't get to use bladed weapons but crushing skulls with a warhammer was fine.

Max Wilco posted:I was moreso just wondering which were the recommended feats. Monathin did a write up on the feats in the previous thread, but that was from October, so I didn't know if any of the patches since then buffed/nerfed any of the feats. Understood, and I wasn't saying that alert is necessary or anything, just that it's a huge advantage to be able to go first in (almost) every combat. When I replay the game, I certainly won't take it on all characters and maybe not any. It's just too powerful. I know lots of people have already said it, but just pick feats that you think will be interesting and you'll be fine. There are some feats that don't do much, and I guess a couple are broken, but it won't really matter because you will almost always have equipment, consumables and/or class-skills that will make up for choosing an under-performing feat.

Unarmed and melee attacks only. also physical damage only, so if your unarmed/melee attacks have magic bonus damage, try and make them not have that I think it only kills them instead of knocking them out if the last HP is nonphysical damage, but better safe than sorry

Admiral Bosch posted:My multiplayer group has encountered a strange issue. We're being pretty evil, but Shadowheart should stick around, right? We slaughtered the grove and death star lasered the creche and now she's no longer in camp. I don't think it should matter too much, but is there a check you need her for through Act 2? Just updating this in case anyone else has come across a similar problem - my friend who holds the save file was checking around yesterday. Shart is not hanging out at the grove, nor is she anywhere on the beach, nor do we have any sort of quest log for her. It's like she has been erased from the game. So uh, lol. Hopefully that doesn't prevent us from progressing at all.

Are you in too deep for them to just replay up to where you were? I’ve had to fix a few dialogue triggers this way.

We're taking our next session off since a couple of us will be out of town, so at some point between now and the next time we're all together he's going to backtrack our save games to make sure she actually was in our camp before. I guess it depends how far back it is - I was planning on just writing her off anyway since we're not exactly paying attention to the companion characters.

Companion characters get stuff and having her in your camp is useful when you get in the higher levels so you can have some of her buffs. There is a point in the game where if you don't bring her she leaves automatically so if you are a 4 man group and don't have the mod Party Limit Begone and or Sit This One Out. It will come up.

Evil durge playthrough at the druids grove Killing Rolan was very satisfying. Wanted to post coitus kill Minthara since I'm an evil murder god but I'm running low on companions after biting Gale's hand off and Karlach and Wyll leaving, so I spared her.

Minthy is the ideal character to keep around for an evil run because she encourages you to be more evil instead of everyone else who grows increasingly nervous whenever you're around.

I have a huge soft spot for Rolan and I can’t imagine killing him would ever be satisfying. He’s just as much a refugee as any of the other tieflings but with the added bonus of being stronger than a lot of them, which also makes him more responsible. Even worse, he’s not THAT strong ultimately and you especially see that with his frustration in act 2. I never really fault him for his abrasive attitude, especially once I played through his entire storyline. TLDR be nice to Rolan, but I recognize that’s impossible if you go against the grove

Gatto Grigio posted:Don’t get why non-lethal damage toggle is even an option when my party members and NPCs give me poo poo for killing people when I clearly made the effort to let them live (ex. Minsc, who I knocked out because Jaheira got killed at Moonrise and he couldn’t stop his bloodrage even with Calm Emotion) I've got the reverse issue lol, Karlach personally killed Minsc at the Temple of Bhaal and every other dialogue with her is how cool Minsc is and what a hero he is.

Rolan has one of the best side character arcs in the game and I feel kinda bad on my first playthrough because because he died in the Lorrokan fight. I guess it was thematic or whatever but still kind of a bummer.
