FooBarrington, in My poor little ticking bomb

I started playing with the mod that increased party size. It’s an awesome experience, but it makes this issue even worse. Thank the gods for quick teleporting - although sometimes somebody also gets left behind then!

Mr_Dr_Oink,

Does it increase to 6? How does that feel with the encounters? Is the game too easy now? Does levelling scale down to compensate?

FooBarrington,

It does nothing except setting the party size cap to 16. You can literally bring everyone, and a couple extra!

This does make the game quite a bit easier, since you just have additional fighters without any downsides. Levelling etc. also stays the same. But that’s fine for me, since I’ve already done my normal playthrough, and this way you get pretty much all character interactions. It’s non-stop banter!

Mr_Dr_Oink,

Definitely going to try this for my next playthrough

Mrs_deWinter, in Patch #4 Now Live!

Welp, time to wait for all the mods to get an update again. Suddenly looking forward to a very boring weekend.

hexabs,

All my mods worked great (Improved UI, Faces of faerun, Tav’s Hair Salon)

Only the native camera tweaks crashed but I saw they published a new working version within 20 hours of the patch :D

Mrs_deWinter,

Norbytes Script Extender as well as Mod Fixer seem to be broken. Since all my other mods rely on them one way or another my save game is basically dead until they get updated.

Honestly I’m kinda bummed, I waited with my favorite quest (and resolution of a romance questline) for my free weekend and now this… oh well, I have another free weekend coming up in December, so for now I guess I’ll just watch BG3 YouTube content and eat dirt or whatever :P

hexabs,

I can confirm Mod fixer is working (Tav’s Hair Salon depends on it)

I hope they fix Norbytes for you soon, a whole weekend at Build-a-bear would be too much for anyone :D

I find Wyll to be more thirsty than Gale. At least it’s obvious what Gale wants. Wyll goes from dancing to wanting to bone.

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

I kinda left Wyll hanging in such a bad way. I was playing a Sorcerer and there was a scene with Gale where he was teaching me how to do some spell. I chose all the Sorcerer options and he went from the ribbing about me being a sorcerer to a very gentle/light ribbing and I just fucking fell in love with him and started to romance him then and there.

Like two nights later, if not the next night, Wyll came up and was like “Dance with me!” and I did for a bit and then he said “Bone?” and I said I was with Gale.

The fucking puppy dog eyes that man made as he slunk off… holy fuck. I have never felt so guilty in my life over pixels.

Why9,

The fucking puppy dog eyes that man made as he slunk off… holy fuck. I have never felt so guilty in my life over pixels.

Ha omg that reminded me of Lae’zel’s confession. I didn’t especially do anything to get in her good books; she was at the camp most of the time, but I did take actions that were favourable to her, and did her side quest at the crèche.

She suddenly went from being abrasive and sharp to an elvish poet and was by far the most romantic confession of love I’ve ever seen in a game, and I just no because I’d already invested a lot of time into Shadowheart’s romance.

Her expression at the end after I rejected her lived in my mind rent free for weeks.

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

The actors in this game did almost too good a job at times…

FooBarrington,

Really? At least dancing is mating behavior in other animals… With Gale things went from 0 to 100 when he “wanted to show something to me later”, which essentially turned out to be his dick.

MrBubbles96,

Well…good to know I dodged a magic missle there by declining the offer lol

hummel, in Patch #4 Now Live!

Good stuff, as usual! Especially the addition of FSR 2.2. It doesnt look so fuzzy like version 1.

EmpathicVagrant, in My poor little ticking bomb

Karlach and Lae’zel always are the two left behind for me when I jump around like a house party

inasaba, (edited )

I find jumping pathing to be very glitched. I always have to manually get at least one person over a gap that they’re capable of jumping, but they just won’t for some reason.

But like OP, it’s almost always Gale for me.

Anticorp,

And of course when you switch to that character everyone else jumps back over to where that character is, and then one of them stays behind after manually jumping the stuck character. It’s annoying that you have to ungroup them, jump, then regroup. As a result I try to jump as little as possible.

inasaba,

Exactly the same for me. But of course, some of the levels have unavoidable jumps, which is how I accidentally left Gale alone on a rock in the astral plane for thirty minutes once. He didn’t seem to mind. I like to imagine that he gets (as he often says,) “lost in thought.” I mean, we’re probably running past a lot of very interesting things while we adventure!

EmpathicVagrant,

Try switching to turn based, I find it grants much more control

DragonTypeWyvern,

I would rather lose Gale

He’s just there to look pretty in his dope hat anyways

inasaba,

I wish the items that were mechanically good for him weren’t so… dorky.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Yeah I gave up and now he’s geared for fashion.

If he dies, he dies.

hexabs,

I posted a easy tip to overcome this below. :)

Anyone know if:
Karlach and Wyll in multiplayer
or dialogue options not appearing randomly forcing you to pick "continue"
has been fixed yet? Stopped my play through because of these two game breaking bugs.

crypto,

I don’t think Karlach and Wyll not being both playable in multiplayer is a bug. I think it’s intented and makes sense considering their story.

iAmTheTot,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

Nah that's not what I mean. Wyll's story is completely broken and won't advance at all. The two of them don't acknowledge each other at all, as if we hadn't recruited them both.

inasaba,

The list did mention the “continue” thing.

Takios,
@Takios@feddit.de avatar

or dialogue options not appearing randomly forcing you to pick “continue”

Yeah, that’s currently a show stopper for me as well. :(

Fixed multiple cases where you couldn’t select dialogue options

This reads like it could be that!

iAmTheTot,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

Hm that's encouraging. Hope it is because that was actually the final straw that made my partner and me stop playing.

Hexarei,
@Hexarei@programming.dev avatar

I’ve found the dialogue options thing is saved with a quicksave/quickload. Tedious, annoying, but it at least lets you get past it.

iAmTheTot,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

I value my time too much to even count on quickloads for a game breaking bug. Sorry, but there's other games to play that aren't broken.

Hexarei,
@Hexarei@programming.dev avatar

“Game breaking” dude it’s a 10 second reload once every 10 or 15 minutes that doesn’t break or lose anything lmao. If you hate the game don’t play it, but it’s not a “game breaking” bug because it has a literal two keystroke workaround that takes seconds.

iAmTheTot,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

In a roleplaying game with heavy focus on dialogue choices... yes, dialogue not working is a game breaking bug.

val,

I’ve seen this advice before but none of the times I tried it fixed the issue for me 😔

Godric, in Patch #4 Now Live!

Licking the hunk of spider meat in the Gauntlet of Shar might make you sick. You should have listened to Gale.

Literally 1984

Vivarevo,

You should never listen gale.

MrBubbles96, in Go on. Do it.

Is there an actual use to that skill during combat? Genuinely curious if I’m actually missing out on using Gale as a nuke for massive damage or if it’s just a straight up “I lose” button.

JJROKCZ,

I didn’t try it because it was implied that him exploding was a literal nuke and that sounded campaign ending

Nepenthe,
@Nepenthe@kbin.social avatar

I tried it immediately in camp, the moment I saw it was an actual ability instead of a cutscene thing. You'll never guess what happened.

tourist,
@tourist@lemmy.world avatar

bg3.exe stopped responding?

MrBubbles96,

Oh no, it’s a literally nuke. I used it once outta curiosity, and…well you can guess what happened lol

I had a thought today tho like narratively, it’s a big ol’ “I goofed up and am ready to end it all” button, but i wondered if it was feasible to have my party survive that somehow in gameplay. Just something to file away for latter, ya know

Nepenthe,
@Nepenthe@kbin.social avatar

Well, I got super curious back in Act 1 and remembered him telling me once about his original plan for when it became too unstable to handle anymore, i.e. to find the deepest, loneliest part of the Underdark and wait. So I took him down to the lowest point of the forge that I could find, slaughtered him, and then made haste to whatever point of the map was both topside and the furthest away I could possibly get before continually long resting, just to test if it actually would go off in-game or whether that threat was set dressing.

Nah, it still insta-kills you when the clock runs down. Just completely wipes the entirety of the coast, I assume. He mentions around the end of Act 2/beginning of Act 3 that he doesn't want to kill you and hopes you could find someplace safe away from him when he does so, but judging by that, there's nowhere far enough that you could possibly run. Fucker's "glorious sacrifice" is going to block out the sun for years.

MrBubbles96,

Gotcha. No weaponizing Wizard Nuke. Ah well, I’ll have to get creative some other way

Zathras, in Go on. Do it.

I get it.

Ohhhh. Now I get it!

Anticorp, in That man is RELENTLESS

Gale casts mirror image.

twistypencil, in Patch #4 Now Live!

Once again Larian overwhelms me with updates that I weakly to read for their cheeky comments, but cannot because they are endless

FoundTheVegan,
@FoundTheVegan@kbin.social avatar

I gave up when I realized I was only at the 1/4th point. Same thing happened last patch. Bless you Larian!

“If you decapitate Karlach before having spoken to her and then resurrect her, she’ll no longer spend the rest of the game headless.”

Man, some interactions in this game are wild.

EmergMemeHologram,

Who would classify that as a bug?

Malix,
@Malix@sopuli.xyz avatar

I guess it would be funny for a bit, but get old in the long run…

Ask Karlach to join the party

You hear happy gurgling noises emerge from Karlachs stumpy neck

snooggums,
@snooggums@kbin.social avatar

Ichabod Crane was mad Karlach was stealing his spotlight.

Nepenthe,
@Nepenthe@kbin.social avatar

Some fixes really should be optional

birbboidaseed, in I had DALL-E draw my Dark Urge

I thought it was durge. Why is it dirge?

urbanzero,

How could I not name my Dark Urge bard Dirge?

clueless_stoner,
@clueless_stoner@lemmy.world avatar

it’s not dirge. read it again

Wootz,

A dirge is a hymn of mourning for the dead.

Pathfinder even had a bard subclass called Dirge Bard, whose defining feature was an AOE debuff called “haunting refrain”.

chuckleslord, in Patch #4 Now Live!

Wait, with the multiplayer change to the Act 1 party… are non-host avatars supposed to be able to romance? Because that’s definitely something I would like to see fixed if that’s the case (my fiancée wants to smooch on Karlach so bad and I didn’t know about that issue when we started, so I stupidly made myself player 1)
