Have they ever said why they decided initiative needs to be rolled on a d4? At least it isn't as stupid as D:OS2's initiative "system".

What is honor mode talking about when it says it has restrictions on action economy? I tried googling only to run into the wonderful world we live in now where every articles is just copy pasted or ai generated and none of them actually explained what that meant.

lunar detritus posted:Halsin sucks and it's not even about him directly, it's just that the game seems very intent in making Tav flirt with him. Even the most innocuous lines end up with him flirting. Like, even his "get to know" dialog openers tend to be phrased kinda flirty. Probably the direct result of him being added as a companion because early access players were so thirsty for him. I haven't done a run with Minthara though to see if she's the same.

Shard posted:Considering Jaheira should be level like 24, does D&D account for age bringing your level down? Or do level caps changing from edition to edition get any kind of explanation? Age affects stats (generally the "brain" stats go up and the "physical" stats go down) but not level iirc. Jaheira and Minsc are just hiding their power levels to make the adventure more fun.

Docjowles posted:I don’t think you can complete that quest once you resolve the druid / goblin / Tiefling hate triangle. I guess Mol stops having a beef with the druids? Which is a bummer because the reward is quite good You can resolve it by outing Kagha as a shadow druid and dealing with that situation however. This makes the druids stop chanting, but even though they've given up you can still nab the idol and give it to mol. Resolving it this way also ensures the druids don't decide it's genocide time when the idol disappears.

BG3 was the first big CRPG for a ton of people who have little exposure to the genre or even video games in general. The game pales in comparison to stuff you can find just on Steam, but for those people running into like the Minthara sex scene is probably going to be a wtf moment.

I'm so loving annoyed that they took Laezel that I'm about to try to blitz the entire Orin saga in one long rest so the rest of the Act 3 storylines don't potentially gently caress up, like Wyll's dad dying. Edit: lmfao sword bard killed Dolor before he could get a turn at the wine festival. Off to a good start. Janissary Hop fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Apr 12, 2024 |

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.

Ashcans posted:I may be wrong, but I think the Emperor warns you that he can only exert his protection so far when you get him to help Minsc. It’s very possible that he could do more than he does, but it also makes sense his ability to shield people isn’t limitless. The Emperor's protection doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you think about it. Apparently he was shielding every origin character after the crash, no matter how far away from the crash they were? Like why doesn't Karlach go beep boop, I'm an absolute follower now? And why/how did he even choose the origin characters for protection? Is he just going with whoever managed to survive the ship crash? Did he help all of them survive the ship crash? Maybe this is explained if you actually play as them, which I haven't, but from playing Tav/Durge it seems kind of arbitrary and inexplicable.

I sucked up your good luck when the same thing just happened to me yesterday even though I disarmed the trap, except two of my party members barely landed on the edge while the other two went sailing into the distance.

This being my second honor mode run, since the first one ended because I didn't know Orin's legendary action sends people flying and I approached her from the bedroom bridge, immediately getting two people killed and being unable to stop the resulting death spiral.

Black Noise posted:She gives a different forgettable dialogue if you sneak up on her. The one time a knock scroll is actually very useful since your durge may not be a lock picker. I wanted to see what would happen if you revealed the whole situation with her family. Turns out nothing interesting. So yeah, it would have been better to just approach her the normal way and use the deception option to keep the prisoner alive (I beelined straight for the rescue for RP purposes) than approach from the bedroom and be surrounded by bottomless pits.

For whatever reason the Duergar don't have a mechanic like the goblins do to gather and alert the whole base so there's nothing stopping you from just... killing them all in tiny groups. Nere even comments on it if there are no Duergar around when you "rescue" him. Bonus: it's a nice big chunk of xp to help you get to level 7 before confronting the gith inquisitor.

I like how, in a game that otherwise doesn't have a lot of noob traps, you can just casually eat the ascended tadpole and deny all your companions the chance to look like poo poo (and get sick powers).
