Baldur's Gate 3

Wyll is boring because they fell prey to a classic blunder: they had the interesting conflict baked into his concept happen before the game even starts.
The INTEREST in a HEROIC character is putting them in situations that either tempt or require them to compromise their principles and act unheroically, and how they deal with that. That already happened. The Wyll we get is just boring. Maybe he’s more interesting if you – don’t save him from himself, with Karlach. But who could test that?? WHO WOULD LOSE KARLACH for the chance that maybe Wyll is a tiny bit more interesting?fr fr

I just finished Act 2. I feel mildly grumpy b/c I feel like a major choice was taken out of my hands unless I immediately resort to violence.
But, oh well, at least Astarion still loves me.
Also I hate the black veins from taking the astral tadpole. Which I didn’t want to take! But I failed the wisdom save so the only way to not use it would have been to crush it under my boot. And I didn’t wanna do that either. :(Cobalt@Under the Stars

The little bitch threatened to leave me for another group of adventurers. I guess I’m not evil and selfish enough for him despite the blood I’ve been giving him. Well, he can sit in camp reading all day now. I replaced him with Gale.
And how the hell did I end up in a relationship with Wyll? I’ve only just talked to him and been properly sympathetic and supportive. Then all of a sudden we’re dancing and boyfriends and Gale was all, ‘sigh, well you made your choice’ and I’m all ‘When did I do that?’

Welcome to Baldur’s Gate, where just like in real life, dudes think being vaguely nice to them means you’re gonna bang!

I started a new run with a Durge monk and Gale was my first victim #noragrats

@bear_necessities I’m finding it’s easier to get along with Astarion as this chaotic bundle of darkness. It’s already the most fun I’ve had in the game and I’ve had a lot of fun so far.

Choosing to side with the goblins felt so terribly icky. Hoping Patch 3 restores the buggy Minthara content properly. Reluctant to hop into Act 2/3 without that squared away.
Also, be still my heart, a No Romance Limit (Poly) mod.

There’s actually a reason for this! I can’t find the source right now, but I’ll add it when I find it, BUT the person responsible for much of the Dark Urge content also wrote a fair bit for Astarion (especially during the crunch period), thus there was more opportunity for them to write for the duo - more was planned for the other companions, but time constraints prevented it.
He/Him. Opinions and views are solely my own unless specifically stated otherwise.

Perma-killed two party members. Would do again.
Unless your name is Shadowheart, you’re not safe.

It’s a Larian game so I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if there’s a massive revamp of content (particularly in Act 3) over the next year or so.

Does anyone else have party changing anxiety, lol?
I have a hard time laying down the OGs. I had to make the transition from Lae’zel to Karlach and even that was hard.
I run Dark P, Karlach, Shadowheart, and Gale (even though I would much rather have Astarion I enjoy wizard spells).
I don’t think I’ll change my lineup the rest of the game.

BRING THEM ALL. I’ve been enjoying it. I’m hearing banter I missed on my first.

I just keep respeccing my main cause I have fun with X class with a 1 level dip into Y but then want to see what Z + Y is like. or X + Z. Or just W.

Oh god, they buffed that optional Act III boss fight.
Raphael, and extra buffed him on Tactician. NO MORE DEALS, IT’S OVER. -

The only Level 16 boss fight. Which is going to be rough because while I have started a Tactician playthrough, I am not looking forward to that. Or I am, depending on how well I play.

Watched that live yesterday. It was great.

Less anxiety and more I end up not really needing them either as I’m not smart enough to manage their resources (Gale) or they fit a purpose I need (Halsin/Wyll).
Or I just end up perma-killing them. That also helps to limit my options.

I got 2/3rds through the game (I was in act 3) when the patch came out and I realized I was pretty irritated at my Tav, so I restarted as a Dark Urge Assassin Monk and oh fuck oh boy I am having such a good time and I’ve only just started (about 10ish hours in). Also a few moments of “WHAT THE FUCK” already. God damn what a good game.
