I actually did the extended conversation with Priestess Gut instead of just whacking her behind a closed door and the Narrator called Gortash a handsome young man again. All I could think was "please stop calling him that".

Morrow posted:A straight fighter in 5e is pretty powerful because they are able to pull off the nova of a Paladin with action surge plus the sustained DPR of a Barbarian with their improved extra attacks. They also get so many feats you can just go and pick up more skills after finishing your build at level eight for non combat stuff. BG3 really made little change to them. It’s the gear that they get in BG3 that tips them into god tier, more so than any class bar maybe monk. What DM in a tabletop game is going to hand out a +3 greatsword that lets you double your strength modifier, do an extra 2d6 damage and gain advantage vs large or bigger creatures, and enlarge yourself to a giant size so you do an extra 1d6 damage (not to mention other advantages of being larger) at level 12? not to mention by that point in the game you can have multiple items that increase your chance to crit, gloves that make all your attacks do an extra 1d6 damage (which gets compounded by the fact a fighter can attack 6 times in a round) and a necklace that also gives you an extra 1d6 damage per attack (if you’re using it on your fighter, I don’t) And I’m not even getting into tadpole powers.

With two weapon fighting they might be a little better early because they'll have an extra attack from that. A dex fighter is probably always going to be two weapon, unless you’re dueling, in which case you’ll get a rapier that gives you an extra attack as a bonus weapon in addition to other crazy buffs. A 2 weapon figher will do more damage for most of the game than a great weapon fighter because they’re applying damage riders and their stat bonus to damage twice as often; and the game has so many different ways to add damage to your attacks. not to mention an extra weapon is an extra item with magical effects and the game goes out of its way to shower you with really good finesse weapons. if it wasn’t for Balduran’s giantslayer I’d be tempted to say a dex based 2 weapon fighter is better the whole game. Edit: I for one love loving my big hot bear man. And my sweet damaged twink.

Whelp. I'd gotten through the Great Filter of Honor Mode at level 2 and 3, made it to Lenore's tower in the underdark...and said the wrong command word to Benard. His electrical legendary action wiped me out. For future reference, how do you fight him? Having Gale stand close enough to him to get zapped to death immediately didn't help.

It’s been said I’m sure, but I’d give my right patella for some DLC or a straight up expansion. Raise the level cap to 14/15 and send me on some wild rear end planes traveling and epic level adventures. That’s the one thing that I think BG2/ToB has over this game, is that you’re becoming a god in a war among gods, and it’s such a great feeling.

Larian has already talked plenty about how going above level 12 is a bad idea because D&D breaks even more past that point. If they were to make an expansion I'd rather have them do more side content, extra companions, adding more side adventures to the existing campaign.

I’m reasonably confident they’re gonna backtrack on that one. I’d be shocked if there wasn’t an expansion at this point.

His electrical legendary action wiped me out. For future reference, how do you fight him? Having Gale stand close enough to him to get zapped to death immediately didn't help. Bring the sussur flowers from the tree along with the extra at the bottom of the tower and drop them on the ground next to his friends so they can't do anything the whole fight. Bring Glut and Bulette (long rest at the top of the tower with them in your party and Bulette will teleport in). Command spells have a pretty good success rate on him as long as your Cleric has some sort of WIS stat (for example, to make him Drop his weapon or make him Halt so he can't get up again after Bulette knocks him prone). Don't leave your characters standing in electrodome. The first character that attacks him should do it from range while standing next to one of his friends so the lightning LA hits that one character...and the friend. You can go the comedy route of knocking him out the window but I find it annoying waiting for him to come back.

Can you return to Act 1 areas after entering the Act 2 area? If so then I'm specifically wondering if there's anything in Act 1 I save for later, like the Creche maybe, because I want to recruit Minthara as fast as possible before doing the rest of the campaign.

socialsecurity posted:Yes you can there's a cutoff point in act 2 you will get a warning popup for after that you can't do act 1 anymore Oh right, I remember something like that now. I'm guessing that includes both the creche and all of the underdark? I might as well just clean out all of Act 1 then, if that's the case.

You could avoid it by not playing the Dark Urge, by taking Oath of Vengeance, or just by getting your Oath back afterwards. The game is pretty clear about what you're getting yourself into when you pick Durge and it's lame that neat interaction with Paladin. I hate it when developers start sandpapering their game every time some baby has a feelbad. Jack Trades fucked around with this message at 10:08 on Feb 18, 2024 |

I don't really think "don't play these character options period" or "pay 1000 gold tax for an unavoidable cutscene loss of character powers" are good solutions compared to "it doesn't trigger breaking your Oath at all". Furthermore the idea that it's because "some baby had a feelbad" is pretty nonsense considering I don't think it's worked that way literally since launch.

Also even in character it is something beyond your control, you're unconsious when it happens. And before that event you were always able to resist your urges, so you have no reason to think they could puppet you around when you sleep. So why should that break your oath?Big Bowie Bonanza posted:I don’t think they should raise the level cap but there’s like 4 other source books full of different subclasses that would be a blast to play I want a class besides wizard that has a use for intelligence.

You're literally picking an oath that explicitly mentions not killing innocents and then a character background that explicitly mentions how they can't help themselves but kill innocents and then go full surprised pikachu face when the most predictable thing in the universe happens, crying about how a 1000 gold tax, the amount of gold you find between your couch cushions, is too much for not being able to avoid something a person with two functional brain cells could've predicted.

It's not about 1000 gold being hard to acquire, the idea that you can lose your powers for something literally not in your control, both from a gameplay and storytelling standpoint, is obviously something they're not going to do. It's not like it's hard to break your oath consciously as a Durge in the first 10 minutes of the game anyway, there's no point shooting yourself in the foot, as a dev, by making it so a character loses their powers by a something completely out of their control. It would feel lovely and unfair to the majority of the userbase, and with good reason! That said you are clearly an insufferable main character style poster so I'm not engaging in this debate further. Monathin fucked around with this message at 10:39 on Feb 18, 2024 |
