I finally tried pickpocketing Withers on my bard but couldn’t do it after like 20 tries. Then I tried it on astarion and the pickpocket option was gone  Withers give me my money back!!

The difficulty depends on the value of the item being stolen (in this case, the amount of gold in the stack) so it's way easier to do it immediately after paying him than it is to let him save up a stockpile.

Beaten the game recently and now my husband has been hogging the PC for like 2 days straight repalying it. Happy that he found more games that interest him after Bioware went tits up. That said, I know people dislike Act 3, even mentioning it here recently, and why so? I found it to be the best with the amount of content and intetesting fights (which I admittedly sucked at even on easy because while my mind can handle hard platforming and action, I suck at tactics). Also lol at Gortash being described as a handsome young man when you see a vision of the three baddies.

gently caress. I just realized that since they have confirmed to not work on any more narrative content that they probably never fix killing Gortash early breaking half the Act 3. And I thought I was so cool for managing to assassinate him on Tactician on my first run.

I guess they interpreted Tav and the "detective" from the Blood In Baldur's Gate ARG as being the same character, though I don't know how canon that is. Especially considering the ARG takes place 15 years before BG3.

See invisibility is good for finesse attackers since it’s a free ambush check. Cloud Giant on the Myrmidon or Deva for slightly bigger number. Colossus is funny to use on Shovel. Arcane Trickster Mage Hand + Cloud Giant for an invisible free shove. Hope + Cloud Giant just because. Noblestalk cures duke Ravenguard and is capable of using scrolls this way as well

Black Noise posted:Noblestalk cures duke Ravenguard and is capable of using scrolls this way as well if you mean Him getting stunned if you try to save him after breaking Wyll's Pact, I honestly just walk him out of his prison, trigger the scene, then have whoever's over there use a Dimension Door scroll to get him away from the danger. I hoard scrolls like a Dragon, so I had like... 12 of the drat things by the time I went into the Iron Throne in my last game.

I started an honor mode run with the goal of cheesing it to get that gold die. It's a lot of fun so far, and stressful. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HhiUZcQ1gXjvsaJSpvccG_0Jm0fn7lgYaOYdQxuWSQs/ I'm using the Balanced Defence party build on the Powerful tab. The sword bard is my Durge, Shadowheart is the cleric, Astarion the monk (for late game reasons), and Minthara or Lae'zel will probably be the Sorcadin, it doesn't really matter I guess.

It’s literally the one bastion of good reliable content. Everything else is Extremely 2024 garbage that exists only to serve ads, shoveled out by people who haven’t played the game and/or AI copy pasting each other. I will grudgingly admit Reddit has been useful too although it’s very hit and miss. Thank you for coming to my old man yells at cloud TED talk. Snowy posted:I finally tried pickpocketing Withers on my bard but couldn’t do it after like 20 tries. Then I tried it on astarion and the pickpocket option was gone There aren’t really prerequisites to stealing other than being hidden. If you don’t even have the option try toggling hide off and on a few times and make sure you’re behind Withers? Or like leave camp and come back? Sometimes the game just glitches out, last night one of my characters was reusing to jump until I clicked onto someone else and clicked back (and changed nothing else; they weren’t encumbered or anything)

Especially considering the ARG takes place 15 years before BG3. The detective was named Tav in the ARG, so canonically there was a detective named Tav who Durge murdered. The default custom character in BG3's name is also Tav but they aren't the same character. If you pick that name it's just a coincidence that they have the same name.

The thumbnail has caught her in a blink so the glowing green eyes don't appear, and I dunno if it's true of this thumbnail but quite a few of the thumbnails in that style use modded outfits. EDIT: Whoops new page! Well, in other news, I'm trying out something I'm pretty sure won't make a difference. Act 3 spoilers I've used enhanced leap to skip past the interaction with Yenna at the start of rivington, and I'm going to avoid her all the way until the sewers and have all three kidnap targets in my party. I expect it'll still default to Yenna but I'm curious if it'll give me options to say "who the gently caress is Yenna" when Orin shows up.

I was very proud I believe that on release at least Yenna would vanish from camp if you bypassed the camp event by not resting outside the city between Gortash's warning and entering the sewers. So you'd get Gortash's warning, enter Baldur's Gate, rest up in the inn, then head for the sewers and discover Halsin (or whoever) has been kidnapped and oh look, the weird kid who the game forced on you with the strongest possible "I'm the shapeshifting villain" energy imaginable is suddenly missing, I wonder why. So a lot of people (me included) just assumed she was Orin all along. Apparently though the disappearance was a bug and that was never an intended outcome? I've heard that now she only disappears if she's the actual kidnap target.

It's weird to me that everyone in camp is just like "sweet, free street urchin" and moves on with their lives. Who knows how packed that camp could have gotten if the citizens of Faerûn knew they could just show up with a paring knife and no one would care.

There’s a bunch of good throwing specific gear you can get right away too. I have a very hard time ever removing her from the party (also cause Karlach rules). Act 1 gets a lot easier as soon as you pick her up.

Eau de MacGowan posted:how the heck do you keep nere alive? You just kind of draw the Duegar's attention away from the magma and shut down the threats in priority with debuffs, death. As for keeping him alive? Is it worth it? No. Not particularly..but you DEFINITELY want his boots and possibly severed head as well, so try to keep him nearby. Interestingly, it was revealed recently that Nere was originally intended to be a joinable Companion character, but most of his material was scrapped over the course of Early Access, which is why there's such a seemingly big production around him.
