Considering the Emperor’s sudden avancements… I thought about how you guy’s suggested Shadowheart is the main character. The emperor is just like all those guys that mistakes a beautiful woman’s politeness for interest and awkwardly comes onto her. I feel like because we’re guys we’re not used to this but I bet a lot of women have had situations like this with the emperor in real life, at work for example.

2024-12-09 18:06:26 +0000 UTCMy first interaction with the propaganda bit was a total showdown that spread into the streets. I tried to intimidate him as a necromancer with no rizz, and he tried to boot me out with the steel watch, I started a fight and turning everyone in the building into zombies. Civilians and flaming fist from outside started flooding into the building to try to stop me as I'm flooding the door with zombies to add to my hoard and stop the entire city from murdering us lol. It took like 2 hrs to get out of it, but I did get everyone to read an article about kitties instead of me. (As if they needed any proof I was a shithead after this)

2024-12-09 17:05:10 +0000 UTCI literally never interacted with the propaganda plot so those fuckers were talking mad shit and I came out on top anyway

2024-11-14 06:19:09 +0000 UTCI ended up not needing all of the keys in the vault because my Astarion was an absolute lock picking god, often rolling (with buffs) 30+ on his checks for them.

2024-11-13 13:37:48 +0000 UTCI'm planning an "early access differences" segment soon and have been reading about that. It's interesting how far they got with that model. It's why the song is called Down by the River! -GB

2024-11-12 16:18:52 +0000 UTCSo I think y’all might have touched on this before, but in Early Access, the Dream Guardian seduction attempt was immediate from the first interaction. Maybe the relationship was originally intended to evolve throughout the story, instead of coming out of seemingly nowhere? Anyway, this was extremely awkward for my first BG3 character, as I based my character off of my tabletop DND character at the time, and when presented with the opportunity to create a guardian, I thought it would be a great opportunity to role play and build the guardian to look like her mom, who has been missing for most of her life, and whose disappearance was the catalyst for my character setting off on her adventure. Needless to say, I was horrified when my character’s mom attempted to seduce her. Maybe this was just me being naive, but I’ve built every guardian to resemble my character’s former love interest ever since. 🤦🏻♀️ I think having that initial interaction in early access made it less surprising when the seduction happened in the full game.

2024-11-12 16:07:33 +0000 UTCTwo Orin related things, first the Balthazar mentioned in a note on a corpse is the one from Throne of Bhaal not Act 2. Orin has left other notes and clown parts around the city, all of which refer to Amelyssan and The Five from that expansion. Secondly, there is a sewers sub-basement in the Emperor's hideout and if you go there without triggering the Orin reveal at camp, she will instead run up to you disguised as your kidnapped companion pretending to have escaped before revealing the truth. This is what happened to me on both my playthroughs. This sub-basement also has a book called "On Psionic Manipulations and Countermeasures" about how Illithids manipulate other races, outlining behavior that should seem very familiar if you pay attention to how The Emperor acts.

2024-11-11 16:34:22 +0000 UTCAbout the Counting House keys and their safes: they can be opened with Knock (or at least they could when I did my playthrough). When I realized this, I just took Gale to each safe and unlocked them one by one, and when I ran out of slots, I long rested and started again. I only found a handful of the keys, but I emptied every safe there.

2024-11-11 15:31:44 +0000 UTCMy camp in the Elfsong Tavern got infected by vines! I came back here with Jaheira’s dryad and now there are vines permanently in the entryway. They seemed to spread slightly over time and now some of the beds grew vines. I don’t seem to get stuck in them, but any summons I have with me must save to avoid being entangled.

2024-11-11 04:33:08 +0000 UTCWhen you remove the castigated by divinity curse, a deva spawns to fight you. You can do jank-unintended mechanics to take its weapon which is definitely one of the most busted weapons in the game and one that you should not have. Also, just out of curiosity, wondering if ya’ll know about just sending food items to camp instead of hauling them around. Could just be a style of play thing, but after a tactician and honor mode run, I have all the food I need by the end of act 1 and end the game with 2k+ supplies.

2024-11-10 20:21:30 +0000 UTCFerg the Sharran Jerk also has a great piece of the broken throwing barbarian build - the Dwarven Thrower. Besides being a +2 Warhammer that returns when you throw it, it does extra damage if you are a dwarf and even more if you hit something big with it. The only gripe I have with returning weapons (including the trident we got from Chult) is that the return isn't always immediate, and if you pass your turn before it comes back to your hand, it remains on the ground next to the target.
