200 quick saves before I finished my first play through.

LZamperini, in Baldur's Gate 3 Actor Mocks Lae'zel Haters In Character

Laezel is fucking awesome. Give me brutal honesty over whatever shadowheart is doing. I've been lied to enough in my life. MC is a more chaotic self insert and the gith story is my priority.

regalia,

u don’t talk crap about my waifu shadowheart

fushuan,

Shadowheart doesn’t lie to you, she very directly witholds information because she doesn’t trust you, and as she gains trust and actually remembers stuff she opens up to you.

Hairyblue, in Baldur's Gate 3 PC tech review: polish that puts other AAA games to shame
@Hairyblue@kbin.social avatar

(Thankfully, you can use the launch command --skip-launcher to boot straight into the DX11 version of the game, or use --skip-launcher --vulkan to boot straight into Vulkan.)

And

In terms of overall recommendations then, I'd suggest DirectX 11 is a better choice than Vulkan for most users with Nvidia and AMD graphics cards, especially those with relatively modern CPUs that meet BG3's recommended specifications. While Vulkan did run better in static scenes when CPU-limited, its poorer performance than DX11 in NPC-rich areas is problematic, making DirectX 11 a better choice overall.

Looks like these guys say DirectX 11 is usually the better pick. I've been running Vulkan and the only negative I've seen is there is a large block that will flicker slightly on the right side of the screen in cinematics. I've going to try DirectX 11 and see if I get the same FPS and quality today. Vulkan with DLSS on quality I get around 100+ FPS. I have a Nvidia 3080TI and intel i7 12700KF.

Edit: I'm running the game on a 4k TV with 120hz. Looks great.

Jarmer,

This is so funny because it’s the opposite recommendation I’ve seen basically everywhere else. All other notes I’ve seen have recommended Vulcan for newer hardware. I’ve been running vulkan as well and have had no issues at all. 6800xt here.

Omega_Jimes, in Larian knows Baldur's Gate 3's D&D combat is super complicated: "We used to joke you basically need a tutorial for every class"

40 hours later of couch co-op with my inexperienced partner who chose Wizard for some reason, and their character is finally useful in battle near the end of act 2.

I try not to control them, I just say what I’m doing and planning so they don’t launch my team off a cliff. Occasionally I’ll say “Yes, counterspell cloudkill please.” but I’m mostly hands off. When asked for advice I give it, I’m not a monster, I just think if we’re playing together we should both get to play.

I haven’t played any DnD since 3rd, and my partner loves these role playing shows like Critical Role or whatever. My biggest takeaway I’ve had from our sessions is that those shows most not have any mechanics whatsoever.

terny,

Those shows have people that play the game a lot (critical role played for years before going live), they don’t teach mechanics to their viewers.

mothersprotege, in First conversation with Withers

In Act 3, I’ve found a book in some tomb that pretty clearly spells out who Withers is, and I’m irritated that apparently my character can’t connect the dots.

Jaysue,

Throw the book at him, doesn’t do anything but made me feel better.

Fog Cloud would be fitting

One option of torture

Which one? 🤔

biomatrix39,

I know only of one torture scene in BG3, its in Act 1 / Goblin Camp

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

What would actually count as torture in this case? What about Volo helping remove the parasite? What about being flogged (on request)? Or branded? Listening to Volo sing?

SaintNyx,

There’s the Astarion/cazador scene depending on what routes you take in act 3 but I don’t want to spoil anything. It’s pretty brutal.

Ignore this comment; it’s just to get the post to federate 🥴

maquise, in Baldur’s Gate 3 - Discussion Post #3

Yeah, I hit a wall I can’t overcome; Shadowheart or Karlach?

iMastari,

Karlach because she's hot....

I'll see myself out.

SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE,

Neither. Lae’zel.

TransplantedSconie,

I see you like your bits stepped on and abused.

Aye, she’ll do it, lad.

SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE,

I only just started act 2 but she’s already asked me to fight her. I won and I think she’s even more into me now.

TransplantedSconie,

Yep. Right after the Grove she’s shaking her moneymaker in your face. Gith do that shit.

SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE,

I’m into it!

TransplantedSconie,

Funny thing was I didn’t even have to fight her.

Depending on your actions in the fight with the 3 absolute generals to close out act 1 and how much of a stud you are, she just throws that pussy at you like a hot potato. I was like, "Damn baby, can we like have dinner first? I just slaughtered like 50 dudes. I’m hungry. "

Sylver, in Baldur's Gate 3's Japan Release Removes Romping And Torture

Sounds like a great way to increase pirating of the game in Japan…

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

As far as I know you can already buy the game via Steam or GOG over there. So I guess this is for the PS5 version.

stopthatgirl7,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, I’ve already got it from Steam.

Console games have much stricter rules about what can or can not be shown than pc games over here, so this sounds about right for the PS5 release.

TwoBeeSan, in Definitely my progression

My experience was “how do I get this wizard to keep it in his pants”

inasaba,

He doesn’t try anything remotely sexual unless you initiate during his Weave scene, and even then he waits several weeks and does a date first. I don’t understand where all of this “Gale is trying to get in my pants” rhetoric comes from online.

They should make the Mindflayers more creative with their tentacles to compensate.

TransplantedSconie,

Japanese moders begin writing notes furiously

MagicShel, in Baldur's Gate 3's Japan Release Removes Romping And Torture

What are they supposed to romance the characters for the plot?

Keegen, in ... I'm not not into it

Lae'zel romance spoilersI like how during her sex scene when she demands you to submit, my Berserker has a special dialogue (no checks required) that went something like "MAKE ME! SHOW ME YOUR RAGE!" after which she instantly submits. She acts all tough, but push back and she caves instantly. I did love her romance on a Berserker character, when she asked me to fight her my character was so excited, this guy lives for battle!

EmpathicVagrant,

I’ll tell you what, I’m not a smart guy but fighting her on a rogue was not wise. Or easy.

But she is mine.

zipzoopaboop, in Definitely my progression

Fuck gale and the horse he rode in on. I cut off his hand and it is my glorious trophy of that self righteous prick
