Professor Beetus posted:I will say on the note of being a loot goblin, it would be really nice if you could check a box to filter out stuff you sold to the vendors. With my proclivities it was kind of a nightmare at endgame to look through their inventories to find like, alchemy ingredients and stuff. Is there a platform that doesn’t have buttons at the top of the trade screen to filter for alchemy ingredients?

Started honor mode, playing Astarion, picked up Gale and Laez and Shart and figured I’d make for the Grove and get what gear and potions and exp I could there before planning my next move. Nearly wiped to the pissant goblins. Both Laez and Ast were downed, a sleep spell from Gale gave me enough of a break from their archers to get everyone back up and then NPCs chucked a few health potions my way (after I probably no longer needed them tbh).

Pellisworth posted:Swords bard is amazing for ranged builds. Slashing Flourish (Ranged) lets you shoot at two targets or twice at the same target with +1d6-10 (based on bard level) bonus damage on each shot. So you can double your number of attacks as long as you've got Inspiration charges to burn. You'll run out of Inspiration in 2-3 turns most likely but that's okay. Nothing can really match Swords bard for ranged damage output afaik it works kind of like a paladin smiting but for ranged, you can dump resources into a ton of damage. I think dash and hide so you can guarantee a sneak attack every round is why people do it but not sure since I haven’t done it

Robobot posted:My buddy and I were actually just talking about this the other day. My stance is that since Jergl, the god of death, straight up tells you mindflayers don't have souls that explicitly means they're not the same people they were before they changed. They may have some memories from them, they may not be 100% evil, but they are soulless aberations in the most literal sense. So if you made Karlach become a mind flayer you’re a horrible monster that murdered Karlach.

Are there any sort of succinct lists of these sorts of things: 1. Items you may want to pick up from vendor x during act y because you may want them later? Thinking about stuff like the best hand crossbows if I decide I want to dual wield those later, or maybe sword of life stealing or something. 2. All the events that you want to take specific characters to like the stuff for Shadowheart and Karlach are no brainers but I think there's some stuff that taking Gale and Wyll to that aren't quite as obvious?

Phlegmish posted:I never got that scene with Karlach. It's crazy how much content you can miss in this game if you just do one playthrough. I’m on my third and still finding stuff I missed. Like I never found the matching lovers ring in act 2 until now. Tons of stuff I missed on my first play through despite trying to be thorough. I missed the act 1 Zhents completely my first play through. And that area in act 1 that relates to Kagha. And the BOOOAL.

Pellisworth posted:Another thing that's really handy for Honour mode runs is to keep a supply of Invisbility Potions on hand. And along with that, use a Hireling to be your potion person so you get a good chance of double prizes each time. I'm at the end of Act 2 in HM and despite looting every loving rotten tomato in the realm and spending very sparingly I only have about 20k gold which isn't going to go far in Act 3 based on what I've seen.

AgentHaiTo posted:This is true, I have Laezel as her straight up battlemaster single class, and she always pulls the team thru the tough times. I think it's a combination of mobility (cause she can get anywhere she wants with all her gith powers) and so many powerful attacks. Right now she has GWM and Risky Ring and with the Maneuver gloves (that give disadvantage to enemies trying to save from her maneuver affects), so if she starts off with the frighten or the prone, that enemy is pretty much done for, and she enough attacks to just keep going. In one fight, she just took out 3 enemies in one round, she's a better bhaalspawn than my fancy bard-paladin. Karlach really comes alive as throwbarian and the extra bonus move from 3 levels of thief. The bonus helps her position in case she needs to and if not, 4 attacks every round. Previous play throughs I just had her as straight barbarian using mostly melee and she was always clearly second rate DPS but now she is extremely clutch and the three levels of thief are enough for most needs so you don’t need a dedicated Astarion or anything. Just got to act 3 and can’t wait to see what she does with a weapon upgrade.

Is anyone using the Hellrider longbow just to add the +3 initiative for Laez or Karlach while they're meleeing or throwing? I haven't been paying enough attention to initiative to know if that'd really be useful or not. It's obviously not good for Act 3 damage and 2170 gold for it is a pretty big chunk.

Entropic posted:in the very early game you pick up a fighter, a wizard, a barbarian, and a warlock for your party that are all pretty solid, as well as a rogue and a cleric that can be respecced to be good, so whatever class you pick for your PC you'll be able to build a party that covers melee tanking and spellcasting. Basically free? Did you not read the post from the guy that had to suck off the entire orc camp to afford a revive?

Act 3 Boss HM Ansur taken down by level 10s. Due to Karlach missing a throw and getting low damage on her other 3 the killing blow was taken by SH and I thought I was done for when he popped right back up and started gathering power. Is that HM only or did I just forget about it? SH was last in my lineup so I couldnt do any extra healing or positioning and I thought it was going to wipe me for sure but nearly everyone survived and Ansur died next turn. PC is Anstarion as a Sorcadin so maybe will do Cazador next. Or maybe House of Hope.

Qubee posted:I know the core principle of D&D is dice rolling, but man does it really take the wind out of the experience when you just have stupid bad RNG despite the odds seeming drastically in your favour. I don't play with karmic dice because supposedly it makes the enemies hit like trained navy seal snipers. It's not like I'm getting very many situations where the exact opposite happens and I pull off a very clutch dice roll that makes me feel invincible. Most of the time, it's just crushing defeat and embarrassment after one another, and I'll roll a nat 20 on something inconsequential. Git gud

At the Devil's Fee is there any disadvantage to just stealing the stuff and not paying the 10k? I've always just paid but money is tight enough right now on HM I'd rather keep the money but if it's gonna piss off Helsik or make her refuse to sell to me in the future or something I'll begrudgingly pay it

roomtone posted:how do you multiclass? that doesn't just mean the subclass you choose, right? cos i'm seeing people talk about combining mage and warrior and that doesn't seem to work. There are a few characters/classes that really come alive with a little bit of multi classing. Karlach and Monk probably my favorite, taking 3 levels into thief to get an extra bonus attack, and one that prones in Karlach's case. Getting a character a few thief levels also means you largely don't have to "waste" a slot on Astarion's usually lackluster DPS (or you can just multiclass him into a Monk). There are some fights you're going to stumble onto that you're just not the right level for and you should come back later for but there's also fights where you'll get your rear end whooped if you don't have the right party makeup or people are specced poorly or you're geared poorly. It also depends on how you like to play, what I think of as the smart way vs the easy way. The smart way is using every advantage you can get like blindness and silence and walls of flames and throwing water on the ground for lightning attacks and dozens of other spells/conditions/etc to do "crowd control" and make all your actions more powerful/efficient. The easy way, or maybe its the dumb way (which is what I personally usually prefer) is to just beat the living gently caress out of everything really hard and fast, by having a party specced towards that and liberal use of haste potions/spells. You don't need crowd control when you can kill 1/3 of the biggest encounters on the first turn. Tav as thief/monk, Karlach as thief/barb, Laez as straight fighter, and Shadow respecced to either Life or Light to keep people alive, works well at this. Tav Paladin or Paladin/Sorc or Pal/Warlock to smite the poo poo out of people also works well (this is what I'm currently playing). One of the Bard multiclasses also works great. The biggest "problems" I had on my first run is when I was trying to play the dumb way with a party that was specced towards the smart way. bird with big dick fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Jan 2, 2024 |

Black Noise posted:You could also offer to bring her a souvenir and then steal that back. You could also steal the money back. Steal. I never stole much during my first runs so I don't have a good feel for the mechanics and now on HM I'm too chicken to try it much. Last time I tried was with the Bonecloak lady in the underdark because it seemed pretty safe place to try and I failed over and over again. I just wanted that loving caustic ring without paying a ridiculous amount for it. I tried just stealing the ring, tried breaking up the gold into smaller amounts, just couldn't ever steal a single thing. Only thing I've successfully stole on this run is the ring from the Djinni.

Horace Kinch posted:Asterion's DPS is the exact opposite of lackluster. Thief 8/Champion 4 with Knife of the Undermountain King/Sword of Lifestealing/The Dead Shot means you crit on rolls of natty 17, give him chances to attack with advantage and there's very little he won't oneshot with a sneak attack critical. Except that dude didn't know how to multiclass and probably doesn't have any of those weapons so for him right now Asterion's DPS is probably toilet water from the toilet store.

House of Hope at 12 on HM was easier than Grief at 11 or Ansur at 10 imo. Didn't save Hope though for the first time, she pretty much got one shotted by Raph on the second turn. Which allowed me to find out she has the only +4 shield in the game, third time through and still seeing new stuff. Vic's fortress is probably better for SH though and I don't currently have anyone else using a shield.

Ginette Reno posted:Current hm run is going pretty well. Hit level 5, finished goblin camp. Did the first Underdark area. I actually went to the Underdark before finishing the Hag or goblin camp. There's easy xp and loot down there and if you use Glut to animate a bulette or hook horror you can easily beat the Duergar village. You can probably beat them without it too at level 4 but Glut makes it safer. I always leave Ethel for last so I can keep buying potions of giant strength off her every day. Can pretty easily get enough for the entire rest of the game.
