It makes very little in-character sense to do unless you're roleplaying as Mr. Krabs because the only thing Lorrokhan offers upfront is money and an evil Tav/Durge probably had Aylin and Isobel killed during Act 2.

Lorrokhan is such a little bitch that it's kinda genius putting him in likely juxtaposition with Gale because he makes his aspirations of godhood less sympathetic just from association.

The only downside to fighting Lorrokhan is you don't get the backbreaker cutscene if the killing blow is from Disintegrate.

I did Resist Durge and Selune Shadowheart and at the very end of the House of Grief, I saw what would happen if you hand Shadowheart over to Viconia with Minsc and Jahiera watching! It was a pretty bleak scene with minimal reward. D:

He doesn’t have anything left to offer except money since his magical vaults are constantly getting robbed

I guess I'm glad Larian put so much work into the game for those who want to play the sort of role where you give up Isobel and Dame Aylin to that dude.

Start a real-time clock (Kojima style system time delta; none of this in-game poo poo). Either you complete the game with an ending that leaves you dead or in control of the Big Bad, or when the clock expires it plays a cutscene where failwizard’s corpse falls to a splat in front of your player character a few seconds before they’re hit by a big AGM-114R9X Slapchop with angel wings.

Holy poo poo I just made it maybe halfway through act 3 and I have to say this is the best game I’ve played in like 8 years. There’s some cheesy moments and a few graphics glitches like that pinched cheek problem but otherwise the game slaps.

I am so thrilled with the way larian continues to support the title. I haven’t felt so invested in an RPG like this since the older BioWare games like Mass effect. But this is even better. I have two other friends playing BG3 and all our games feel like a different story into themselves. There must be thousands of variables in the game.

For me the climax of the game has got to be the act 3 moment at the house of hope.Raphael is an incredible character and the voice actor loving nailed it. But then that boss fight music??!! What!!! I had to take my hands off the keyboard and absorb the moment.

10/10 Larian. I’d buy this game again just to give them money. The voice acting, writing and character development is some of the best I’ve seen. I enjoy how it touches on some very real and deeply personal issues without being too on the nose about it AND giving you the option to get all the bad takeaways. Like Astarions personal quest was phenomenally satisfying at the end.

I’m super hopeful they can do a Neverwinter Nights game with some references to characters or events in BG3. I would love that.

I’ve been around a long time and bounced off all the original BG, NVN/NVN2 games but this one just beats it by a country mile. After years of being dicked around by “choices matter” AAA games this one actually delivers. I mean poo poo I couldn’t believe they individually modeled what looks like 100s of npc extras simultaneously having conversations to the point that it sounds like a crowded street. All of them even have unique one liners for you if you try to talk to them. Crazy!

I’m going to be very sad when this is all over. I’m not done yet so it’ll be interesting what other antics I’ll get up to before the curtain falls.

I'm taking my time with my first playthrough- currently in the lower city- and it feels like it's going to be really hard to play anything other than a charlatan bard going forward. Pickpocket is so absurdly powerful, I can talk my way out of nearly anything, and there's basically never a fight where it's not useful to have someone whose role is to debuff the enemy.

Like, i have a million different ideas of what what to do in a followup run- not lose Shadowheart, for example- but It's been so satisfying to see this character come together

I also lost SH on my first run because persuading with no Charisma is a bad idea (I had WIS 18, so I should have taken another route, and the game would have rewarded me for being wise!)

Except for Lae'zel and Astarion, who are actually kind of less trouble if you leave them behind and smooth things over afterwards.

Fixed Chain Lightning and Ice Knife being affected by Metamagic: Twinned Spell.

Act 3 Cazador Fixed only one player getting the buff after solving the puzzle in Cazador's Palace and lying on his bed. has anyone actually solved this?

I was jumping across to the gas traps in Auntie Ethals and it blew up so much it crashed the game and now won't load. Probably one of the mods I downloaded months ago.


I've deleted the contents of the BG3 folder and am downloading from scratch. I really hope that fixes it

Are you not supposed to get a twinned attack with Ice Knife? I thought that was the whole point!
