My barbarian doesn't need lockpicks for a DC 30 lock, they have a magical axe.

If that doesn't work, they have Na'er Misser.

If that *still* doesn't work, they have "pick the loving thing up, travel to Wyrm's Crossing, throw it off the side".

WHAT UP

DC 30 locks are usually plot doors with no HP so you wouldn't be able to bash it down. There's usually another way but you can imagine getting through the door with brute force I guess.

There used to be a google doc with all the bugs people were finding. There u s e d to be one.

This had the list in a non reddit format but uh there's petty discord drama now that the green names are fighting the blue names?

Adamantine mace from the forge and smoke powder arrows but they have knock back so something / someone might go flying.

I'm looking forward to my 2nd run through this game. I'm playing on Explorer and my item hoarder mentality is killing me, I have so many bags filled with potions, oils and scrolls that it's actually encumbering me haha.

Not to mention my indecision of which item to craft at the Forge means I'm sitting on some Mithril Ore that I'm pretty sure is useless now that I'm in Act 3.

Na'er Misser does entirely force damage and most objects are weak to force, so it's handy for that purpose. You'll need more oomph for things that have the Very Sturdy flag though.

You only get two pieces of mithril ore to craft. The most long-lasting pieces tend to be the Medium and Heavy armors, which can last you nearly into Act 3. The shield also has some edge case uses and looks really cool. I would not craft any of the weapons.

It's so silly that the best way to engage with the isobel setpiece is to just not talk to her

I reckon you should only get deep shadow protection if you have Izzy's blessing AND the moonlantern. Even on your first playthrough chances are pretty high you get the lantern before even reaching Last Light, but you obviously can't know what Izzy gives you is already obsolete. It's just wack tbh

once you get into mods the weapons have edge cases too (i.e. crit triggers)

Question about invading those smug druid assholes

I can't kill 2 of the 3 gobbo camp leaders and then go with Minthara to invade the grove because that'll make her hostile, right, but can I kill one of them and Minthara won't care?

It really depends on the way you approach act 2 because it’s also extremely possible to just never interact with her and requiring 2 layers of protection to complete the act like that would suck

Literally never talking to Isobel is a pro move if you want to leave nothing to chance in Honor Mode because Marcus will never attempt to abduct her.

Yeah my preferred route on honour mode is lyre path to go straight to drider fight, turn on the caravan and take the lantern and free pixie, then wander around talking everyone to death

I mean I don't have a problem with making it mandatory but if you wanted to avoid that they could at least come up with some strong incentive to talk to Isobel even on repeat playthroughs because afaik the only things you're missing out on are Marcus's parasite and Shifting Corpus Ring, which are like, who cares right

I'm so glad they allowed us to do the latter and it's why I find act 2 a relative breeze. Basic bitch Elf paladins and tiefling sorcerers stay winning. :chord:

Is that only while in Act 2? I remembered she was in there after I got some ways into Act 3, thinking there'd be an interesting fight letting her out but she was deader than the fish in Disco Stu's shoes.

I'm not keen on touching honor mode because there's always the chance the whole run will be nullified 50 hours in from one bad dice roll, but you can skip all the gortash and robot stuff by just stockpiling a shitload of smokepowder barrels and fireworks, dropping them all around him, and then igniting the entire thing with any source of open flames, killing him and several cronies instantly

There's still only one save slot though, so your game couldn't have saved when you were already in an unwinnable situation.

I'm getting an error message about script extender being broken. I thought everything was fine but when I started a new game, party limit unlock wasn't working and the chromatic dye container didn't show up. Party limit had a fix posted that worked, but there's nothing for chromatic dyes or the Miraculous Dyes mod I grabbed to see if that would work.

The weird thing is that, in my game that I had been playing yesterday both the Chromatic Dye and Party Limit mods were working as normal.

If it's like the WASD movement mod that I use they may have published an update for patch 6 but there was another hotfix yesterday that broke a lot of stuff

I was able to reproduce this. They despawn if they get far enough away from you. If you follow them they don't and they run right into the enemies. Same with Rolan in the shadowlands. If you follow him he keeps getting cursed and dies. If you just stand still or walk away from him, he'll despawn and live.

There is a way to force steam to download the previous version of the exe. For a nexus mod sticky comment:

Download previous bin files using steam console:
Open a command window “Run” by pressing «Win + R» and then enter the command: steam://open/console, and then press Enter.
Type command:
download_depot 1086940 1419652 8231067205656009020 [<delta manifestid>] [<depot flags filter>] : download a single depot
It will download previous unbroken exe files. Just copy and paste them into BG3 bin folder, and everything will work.
